Coffee Shop (B)Bamboo is one of natures most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass. Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 metres (4 feet) in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo. Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres (1 foot) across. This plant also comes in different colours, from yellow to black to green. Bamboo has been used to make many things such as kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings. Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting (支撑) new buildings and bridges while they are being built. In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. Bamboo pipes (管子) help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money. 41. How is bamboo like grass? A. It grows quickly. B. It is wood. C. It is easy to cut. D. It is very thin.42. Though you can see bamboo everywhere, it doesnt grow _. A. in Asia B. in Europe C. in America D. in Africa 43. Why is bamboo used by African poor farmers? Because _.

In many Asian countries, bamboo began to be used _.A. a century ago B. thousands of years ago C. hundreds of years ago D. millions of years ago (C) The idea of daylight saving time started with an American named Benjamin Franklin (17061790). He explained how a lot of the money that was spent on candles (蜡烛) used for light could be saved if everyone woke up earlier and went to bed earlier. Even though his idea had a clear meaning, most people didnt want to get up earlier than they had to. It was not until 1907 that an Englishman named William Willet came up with a way to “make” the sun set later. His idea was to turn clocks forward by twenty minutes on each of the four Sundays in April, for a total（总计）of 80 minutes. Williams idea was laughed at at first. But when World War I started in 1914, many countries decided they had to save energy for the war.Daylight saving time has other uses. The more time you spend outside playing, the less time you are spending in front of the computer or the TV. These things also use energy.Also, daylight saving time sometimes causes problems. For example, China used it in 1986but stopped it in 1991. That was because the temperatures are quite different from North to South and time from East to West. If people from northwest part of China use daylight saving time, sometimes they have to get up to work when it is not very bright outside. That will cause some trouble for them.Still, most parts of the world do have daylight saving time, and most people look forward to the extra (额外) hour of evening light.46. Why did Franklin give the idea of daylight saving time?A. To save the money B. To save time C. To wake up earlier D. To go to bed earlier47. In what year was the idea of daylight saving time put in use?A. 1907 B. 1914 C. 1986 D. 199148. If it is 7:40 on the second Sunday of April, which is Willets idea time?A. 7:20 B. 8:00 C. 8:20 D. 8:4049. When daylight saving is used, _.A. you can play outside B. you have more time watching TV C. you have more time spending in front of the computer D. you can save energy50. Why is daylight saving time not used in China now?A. Because people wouldnt like to get up earlier. B. Because the temperatures are quite different.C. Because the country is too large.D. Because the time is quite different. 第II卷（55分）四. 根据汉语意思，完成下列句子。（5分）(每空填一词)1. 和上期比起来，他这学期已经取得了很大的进步。 _ _ last term, he has made great progress this term. 2. 刚才布朗先生和我说了几句关于他儿子的话。 Just now Mr. Brown _ _ _ _ me about his son.3. 坐在我祖父右边的那位妇女是我姑姑。 The woman who sat _ _ _ _my grandfather is my aunt.4. 我可以看看你叔叔给你的那块手表吗？May I _ _ _ _ the watch that your uncle gave you?5. 他对于这个问题的答案和我的相似。 His answer to the question is _ _ mine.五. 任务型阅读 （5分） 2002年至2004年，有人对世界上100个大城市进行了调查。请根据下面8个主要大城市(东京、墨西哥城、纽约、圣保罗、大阪、汉城、莫斯科和孟买)的调48查表完成表格。Population(millions)% of money spent on foodPersonsper room% of houses with water and electricityTelephonesper 100 people% of children in middle schoolTokyo28.7180.91004497Mexico City19.4411.9941062New York 17.4 16 0.5 99 56 95Sao Paulo 17.2 50 0.8 96 16 67Osaka 16.8 18 0.6 98 42 97Seoul 15.8 34 2.0 97 22 90Moscow 13.2 33 1.3 95 39 100Bombay 12.9 57 4.2 85 5 49 SituationName of the citya city where people spend the least of their money on food1. _a city which has a larger population than that of Mexico City2. _a city where all the children can go to school3. _a city where all the houses are built with water and electricity 4. _a city where it is the most difficult for people to make a phone call 5. _六. 根据短文和所给首字母写出所缺单词，使短文完整，意思通顺、连贯。（10分）Do you know something about tree rings (年轮)?
