Gabi just finished her third year of high school. However,
at the beginning of June, she received her report card in
the mail, she learned that she failed a term of algebra（代
数）. This meant she had to go to summer school this vacation.
Gabi was glad she had the chance to make up the class. She can’t move on to the next level in math if she doesn’t pass algebra. Summer school isn’t easy though. Gabi has to learn the material in 6 weeks instead of the 20 she had during the regular school year.
Summer school also meant that Gabi would stay in a hot classroom while most of her friends were at the beach or parks. Her friends passed algebra, so they had most of June, July, and August free from school work. Going to summer school also meant that Gabi’s family had to change their summer vacation plans.
Gabi had to be in summer school from 9 a.m. to noon. She couldn’t stay up late at night. She had to catch the early bus in the morning to school. The classrooms were hot since the school building was old and did not have air conditioning. After Gabi took the bus home from school, she couldn’t do what she wanted. She had to do her homework.
This was the first time Gabi had to go to summer school. She wanted it to be the last time. Gabi made a promise to herself. In the new term, when regular classes begin again, she will try her hardest to pass. Studying hard without air conditioning in summer in a classroom while your friends are out having a good time is not fun. Summer break is not so much of a break when you have school.
44. Gabi received her report card at the beginning of_____________.
A. August
B. July
C. June
D. May
45. Why did Gabi go to the summer school in the vacation?
A. Because she received a report card.
B. Because she failed a term of algebra.
C. Because her parents weren’t at home.
D. Because her friends were at the beach.
46. How long does Gabi have to learn algebra this summer vacation?
A. For four hours.
B. For twenty days.
C. For six weeks.
D. For two months.
47. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Gabi went to summer school in the evening.
B. Gabi decided to work harder in the new term.
C. Gabi’s family put off their summer vacation plans.
D. Gabi’s summer school was old but had air conditioning.

Water is a limited natural resource that must be protected; it is
limited in many places. Even if you live in an area with enough rainfall,
using water uses energy to process(加工) it. Here are some tips on saving
water at home.
★Install a water meter(安装水表).
You might be very surprised to find out how much water you are actually using.
By installing a water meter you can raise your attention so that you will reduce your water use.
Many water meters have a small wheel that turns quite rapidly if any water at all is running. If you are sure all your water is turned off and you see this wheel moving at all, you have a leak(漏水).
★Take shorter showers.
Take showers rather than baths. By taking a bath you are using up to 100 liters of water! Showering will generally use less than a third of this amount.
★Catch the cold water that comes out of the tap or shower while you are waiting for the hot water.
Use it to water plants or pour into your toilet reservoir.
★Turn the tap off while you are brushing your teeth, shaving, washing your hands, doing dishes, and so on.
Turn the tap off when you shower, too. Get wet, then turn off the water while you
soap up. Turn it back on for long enough to wash. Look for a twist vale that is installed behind your shower head to keep the water temperature where you set it while the water is off.
★Wash full loads.
Wait until you have a full load of clothes before you wash a load. Don’t wash
a pair of pants just because you want to wear the same pair of pants the next
day! When washing your clothes, be sure to use the economy mode and this will save you both water and electricity!
48. If you install a water meter, you can__________.
A. keep the water running
B. stop the water running
C. save both water and electricity
D. raise attention to use less water
49. By taking a shower you can save about __________water.
A. 30 liters
B. 60 liters
C. 100 liters
D. 300 liters
50. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. You have a leak if the wheel of the water meter is moving.
B. You should wait to have as many clothes as possible before washing.
C. When showering, you should soap up while the water keeps running.
D. You are encouraged to use more water in the area with enough rainfall.
51. The writer writes this passage to_______________.
A. explain to us how valuable water is
B. tell us the ways of using water at home
C. ask us to do what he says in the passage
D. give us some advice on saving water at home

One of the biggest problems in our society today is obesity, and?i t’s?not?just?a?problem?with?adults.?More?and?more?kids?are?becoming?overw eight.?Joining
a?team?sport?will?help?teens?get?out?and?get?some?exercise?without?feeling pressured ?( 有压力的) to?lose?weight?or?get?in?shape. What’s more, if your teens see that their physical condition is causing them to under-perform, they may be encouraged to do other activities to get healthy. By the time your children reach their teenager year, part of good parenting will be providing them with direction and encouragement and continuing to help them develop a healthy style of living.
These days, it’s becoming harder to show your teenagers that you love and support them. A great way to do this is by showing up to their game, helping them practice, and helping with team fundraisers. These are also great ways to spend time with your kids and talk to them.
You may think “but my teen isn’t good enough to make their school team”. There are plenty of other places besides school to play team sports. You can always check out “for-fun” teams. You could look into more unknown sports that you may not have thought of, did you know that bowling is a NCAA team sports? If you do a little research, you’re sure to find something your teen will enjoy. Team?sports?are?a?great?way?for?teens?to?get?out?of?the?house,?get?moving,?make

Antonio and Julio were twins. They shared everything.
They shared the same birthday, the same bedroom, and the same
friends. 56 , and both boys shared all the same toys.
One Saturday, Antonio and Julio went outside to play with
their red wagon(四轮马车). The twins loved the wagon. “I
want to give my animals a ride,” said Antonio.
“ 57 ,” said Julio. Both twins wanted to do different things with the same wagon. Antonio and Julio’s mother heard the boys arguing and came outside.
“You boys must share the wagon,” said Mother. Mother told Antonio and Julio to take turns with the wagon. The twins did not want to share the wagon.
A few days later, Antonio and Julio’s mother brought home a cat for the boys. “Can’t we each have our own cat?” asked the twins. 58 .
“I’m sorry, but you must share one cat,” Mother said. “You will have to feed the cat and make sure she does not get into anything.” Now Antonio and Julio were even sharing a job.
A few days later, the cat got into Mother’s sewing(缝补) basket. In just a few minutes, the cat had made balls of yarn all the room. 59 . He quickly went to find Antonio to tell him what the cat had done.
“Oh, no! 60 ,” cried Antonio. The boys quickly picked up the yarn and put it back in the basket. When the mess was cleaned up, Antonio and Julio made the cat her own toy from a piece of yarn.
“Just think, Julio, two cats would have made a bigger mess,” said Antonio.
“That’s right,” laughed Julio. “Maybe sharing isn’t so bad after all!”

against a tree and watched the players on the tennis court.

tried to play tennis.

66. One possible version:
I have a lot of hobbies, such as playing sports, listening to music, surfing
the Internet and so on. But I like reading best.
I have kept reading in my spare time since I was a little girl. At the
beginning, I read story-books, then I began to read novels and magazines. Now，
I go to the school library to borrow books once a week and sometimes I buy some
books from the bookstore. It takes me about an hour to read books every day.
Sometimes I read books during the break, sometimes after school, sometimes before I go to bed. I always find time to read. I think reading has been a part of my life.
Reading is very interesting and important. It not only brings me a lot of knowledge but also keeps me relaxed.。
