Paul, a Kind-hearted PersonC.A Brother Like ThatD. An Unforgettable Holiday RideCOne cool April 22 morning, people started the day as usual. Y et it was not a normal day. What's so special about April 22? The answer is simple. It is Earth Day. People all over the world celebrate this important day. The idea of having a special day to celebrate Earth began in the 1960s. Life was very different then. Few people talked or even thought about the environment. Most people had no idea how dirty our air and water were.On April 22, 1970, twenty million(百万) Americans joined the first Earth Day activities. They showed that people really did want to do something about the environment. Since then laws have been passed to protect the air, water, land, and animals.The vehicles such as cars 'and buses you ride in must pass tests to make sure they don't cause too much pollution. Thanks to this law, cars today release(排放) about half as many bad chemicals as cars did back in 1970. As a result, the air we breathe is cleaner than it once was.Rivers and lakes are also cleaner today than they were in the 1970s. It's a good thing because they needed a lot of help. The Cuyahoga River in Ohio was so polluted that rubbish and oil on the river even caught fire! Today, the river is cleaner. It no longer burns. It's healthy enough for birds, fish, and other animals.Now the celebration has spread to other countries. More than 175 countries take part each year.In 2007, people in China paid much attention to a big problem. People were throwing away 27 million plastic bags a day! People had "Bye-Bye Throwaway Culture Week." They wanted everyone to see how polluted it was to throw away so many plastic bags. In 2008, China passed new laws against them.Every April 22, millions get together to clean and protect Earth. They also celebrate how far we have come. Our job is to put this knowledge to work. Y ou can help keep our planet healthy too!61. What caught fire on the Cuyahoga River?62. Why did Chinese people have "Bye-Bye Throwaway Culture Week"?63. What are the purposes of celebrating the Earth Day?DShanghai-born novelist Lu Shi'e wrote a fantasy novel called New China in 1910. In the book he described a dream where trains were running underground, an iron bridge crossed the Huangpu River and Shanghai hosted a successful World 'Exposition in the underdeveloped Pudong area at that time. The blueprint(蓝图) described in the novel became real exactly after 100 years.On May 1,2010, the World Exposition, with 158 years of history, drew back its curtain from Shanghai. According to a source at the Organizing Committee (组织委员会) of the World Exposition 2010 Shanghai, it is expected to attract more than 70 million visitors, making it the most popular exposition in history. It is also the first time the World Exposition is held in a developing country.About 600 years ago, Shanghai was just a small fishing village in China' s eastern coastal area. It grew into a commercial (商业的) city thanks to its prosperous (繁荣的) port and, over the course of 100 years, Shanghai became among the first Chinese cities to open its doors to the world. Along the way, it became the economic and commercial hub of China.Today, Shanghai is developing into an international metropolis (大都会).Answer the following questions according to the passage.64. When did the blueprint become real?65. How many visitors will Shanghai Exposition attract according to the source?66. What was Shanghai like about 600 years ago?67. What's the passage mainly about?EWhenever I look at the moon, I wish I could go there. Do you ever wish that you could take a trip to the moon?For hundreds of years, men have wanted to travel to the moon. Whenever they looked at the moon, they asked some questions - Is the moon hot or cold? Do people live there? Are there any plants or living things there? There were many arguments. Some people said that there were living plants on the moon, others said nothing could live there because there was no water on the moon.When we look at the moon through telescopes(望远镜), we can see many lines and circles. People used to say that this was the moon's face and there was a man on the moon. This is nonsense(无稽之谈), of course. There is no man on the moon. The lines and circles are mountains, valleys, and deep holes. There are also plains where the ground is quite fiat.Scientists have studied the moon through telescopes for many years and have discovered many facts. Recently rockets with men have reached the moon.What do we know about the moon? If we compare the moon with the earth, we can find that the moon is much smaller. It is about one quarter of the size of the earth. It is traveling around the earth.Days and nights on the moon are very long. One day on the moon is as long as two weeks on the earth. One night is also as long as two weeks on the earth. In the daytime it's very hot on the moon: 120℃. It would be too hot to live without special clothes. It' s very cold: -156℃. A man on the moon would quickly freeze to death in the nighttime.There is another surprising thing. On the moon things are not as heavy as they are on the earth. Something that weighs one kilogram on the earth would weigh only 166 grams on the moon. Did you know that?Perhaps one day in the future anyone will be able to take at rip to the moon just like going on a train or a bus journey. What an adventure that would be!68. What can we see if we look at the moon through telescopes? In fact what are they?69. Nowadays ,what do we know about the moon?70. If we put the same thing on the moon and then on the earth, are the weights we get the same?四、完成下列句子。
