AIt was a lovely sunny Saturday morning in early October. Jan Hunter sat out of the window of her room as she planned what she would do today. She would like to take Buster, her sheep, to the field for a short walk. Perky, her hamster (an animal like a mouse) and Slipper, her snake, would enjoy an outing too.“I’ll help you clean your room,” Mrs. Hunter said. “Then you’ll be free to do what you want the rest of the day.”Jan started picking up her clothes. Mrs. Hunter turned to the bed to take off the sheets (床单). As she lifted the pillow( 枕头), Slipper moved quickly under the blanket（毯子）.“That does it!” Mrs. Hunter cried. “Get that snake out of here! And look at this—one of your best shoes too dirty to see the color. This is it. Jan. No more animals in the house; tha t’s final!” Mrs. Hunter said in a loud voice as she marched out of the room.Jan felt sad. She walked slowly across the street, Buster followed behind, to tell her tale to her old friend Mr. Ward. He thought for a few minutes. Then he said that if Jan found the right cages(笼子) for the pets, perhaps Mrs. Hunter could let the animals live out on the warm sun porch（门廊）.Jan remembered an old bird cage that would do for Perky. Buster’s bed could simply be moved. Something for Slipper, though, was a real problem.“Let’s see what there is out in my garden,”Mr. Ward suggested. They found a aquarium(鱼缸)in the corner. Mr. Ward pulled out a large piece of glass that would do for a cover. Jan and Buster rushed home to see what Mrs. Hunter would say.When Mr. Ward heard Jan’s loud cry of joy, he knew Jan’s troubles were over.( )33. The story took place on_____________.A. a cold day in MarchB. a weekend day in OctoberC. a Saturday in SeptemberD. a warm day in January( )34. __________ is the most important character in the story.A. JanB. Mrs. HunterC. Mr. WardD. Buster( )35. What happened first in the story?A. Jan took Buster for a walk.B. Mrs. Hunter saw the dirty shoes.C. Mrs. Hunter saw Slipper in Jan’s room.D. Jan told her sad story to her friend Mr. Ward.( )36. What was the problem in the story?A.Mrs. Hunter was afraid of snakes.B.Mr. Ward had an aquarium in his garden.C.Jan didn’t know what to do in such good weather.D.Jan’s mother said the pets couldn’t stay in the house.BPlants and animals, including humans, need food and water to live on. These are from the natural resources(资源) on Earth. To protect these resources, we need to keep the air clean and the water drinkable. We need to keep the soil (土壤)healthy. How do we do that?Protect the landThe soil that covers fields and farms provides much of the food we eat. Human activities such as plowing(耕) fields, mining(采矿), and building highways can destroy (破坏)the land. Erosion happen when wind and water carry away the soil. Soil erosion can turn rich farmland into a desert wasteland. So does this mean we shouldn’t build a highway or plow a field? Of course not. But it does mean we might think about Earth—friendly ways of doing those things.Today farmers plow their fields in different ways to prevent erosion. They try to use less waterfor their crops. They keep animals from eating the growing grass in just one area. Farmers also plant trees to prevent erosion from happening.Save the TreesAnother human activity that damages the land is deforestation(采伐森林). People take away a large number of trees from a forest. Millions of square kilometers of forest disappear each year. When this happens, many plants and animals lose their places to live. They may die out, or become very few. Scientists haven’t even discovered all the living things in the forest. We may be losing some without even knowing they are there. Trees absorb (吸收)and use carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)when they make food. Environmentalists encourage careful management of the forests. They ask people to replant trees after they cut down the forest.Recycle, Reuse, ReducePeople throw a piece of paper into the wastebasket after using it. The paper becomes trash. Where does the trash go next? Much of our trash ends up in landfills(垃圾填埋地). They take up valuable land and sometimes pollute the water, air, and land around them. More than a third of the trash in landfills is paper. Recycling, reusing, and reducing what you throw away can cut down on the need for more landfills. In fact, we can recycle about eighty percent of household trash.( )37. What does the underlined word erosion mean?A. Plowing fields and miningB. Cutting down trees and farming.C.

Why do we need to save the trees?A.To discover more new trees every year.B.To encourage careful management of the forest.C.To take away a large number of trees from the forest.D. To keep good places for animals and plants to live in.( )39. How much of the trash can we recycle?A. All the trash.B. Very little.C. One third.D. Four fifths.( )40. What’s the purpose of the author writing the passage?A.To ask people to look for places to plant trees.B.To tell people how to protect natural resources.C.To show how the lands are destroyed by people.D.To discuss ways of protecting animals and plants.CA famous foreign company in China wanted a Clerk for its public relation department (公安部).A beautiful girl with a master's degree(硕士学位) went through a lot of challenges and her name was on the list.

" The examiner felt surprised but said calmly, "If so, let' s wait till you are ready. "The next day, the girl came to tell the examiner that her parents had agreed to let her begin work next Monday. But the examiner said regretfully (遗憾地), "Sorry, another suitable candidate (选手)has got the job. You had better try another place. "The beautiful girl was surprised.
