As a school student, this is probably a common experience for you. But thanks to new rules, many students in Zhejiang and Heilongjiang provinces can now stay in bed longer than before. On Feb 23th, the Zhejiang Department of Education published a new guideline that asks primary schools to start school later. According to the guideline, start times could vary among different grades and seasons, with students in Grade 1 and 2 starting no earlier than 8:30a.m. A similar guideline was announced by the education department in Heilongjiang province on Feb 24th. Since the new term began in March, students from all primary and junior high schools have been required to arrive at school no earlier than 8 a.m. And senior high school students are now required to arrive at school no earlier than 7:30a.m. These changes are aimed at making sure students get adequate sleep and enough time for breakfast. According to a 2016 study, only 54.1 percent of students in Grade 4 slept 9 hours or more a night, while the required sleep time for primary students is 10 hours. These changes have received much praise. “I definitely welcome the move, since this will ensure my son has enough time for breakfast, which is important for his health and growth,” a mother from Hangzhou told China Daily. Pushing back school times isnt unique to China. In the United States, schools in at least 21 states began to start school later in 2017. According to a 2015 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US, later school start times could help improve students health and study performance. Just as Mary Carskadon, a sleep expert from Brown University, US, told The Atlantic, “Everybody learns better when theyre awake.”30 . Which province required students to arrive at school no earlier than 8 oclock?AHeilongjiangBHubeiCZhejiangDChongqing31 . How long does a primary student need to sleep every day?A8B9C10D1132 .

How can we find Love? Once a little boy wanted to meet Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things ready with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman sitting in the park and watching some birds. She looked very hungry. The boy gave her a pizza. She took it and smiled at him. The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy.They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said nothing. When it grew dark, the boy decided to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. The woman gave him her biggest smile ever.When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face and asked what had made him so happy. “I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world.” At the same time, the old womans son was also surprised at his mothers pleasure and asked why.“I ate a pizza in the park with Love,” she said, “and he is much younger than I expected.” If the world is full of love, we can enjoy a better life.35 .

All I want to do is to ask you to have a look at your life. But Im not sure whether or not youll pay attention to me.Im a pretty old tree now. Im 80 years old. So Ive seen much of the world. Weve lived on Earth with you for thousands of years. Each day we release oxygen and remove harmful gas so that you have pure air. We cool the air so that you dont have to run your air conditioners all the time. We help prevent the soil from being washed away. And above all, we give all kinds of fruit, nuts, beans as well as wood to you.We like the world，we like you human beings. But youve never been interested in us. For example, do you know how amazing we are? Do you know that, just like you, we trees are communicating with one another? And a tree can warn its neighbors of danger if insects attack it? And some of us pass nutrients (养分) and water around by joining our roots together underground? I suppose you dont. We are now in great danger because of you. You are, in fact, destroying us at a terrible speed. You are burning and cutting down millions of us each year, hut youre not planting enough. For every tree being planted today, 30 trees are being cut down. What would you do if all of us died? Perhaps you would die, too. Without us, you wouldnt get the ingredients for some of your important medicines, you wouldnt have enough material for buildings, furniture, paper products, and your cities would look ugly. In addition, air pollution and noise pollution would become more and more serious，and your life would turn nasty.Well, the list could go on forever, but I think I should stop. The best thing for you to do now is to stop destroying us and start protecting the environment, because we are the best fighters against pollution and we are your best friends!I wish all the best for you，and good luck!Your friend,An old tree40 .

Which of the following is true according to the passage?ATrees are turning ugly and nasty because of the water pollution.BThe best thing for humans to do now is to plant trees every day.CTrees are becoming less and less.DAir pollution and noise pollution will become more serious if there are more trees.People enjoy taking trips. But what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to learn more about other people and other places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. On a trip, a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots. What does a tourist learn who sees the art museums, visits the historical palaces and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the River Seine? He gets a vivid picture, a real life of one of the French people. He learns about their attitudes（态度）, how they feel about business, beauty and history.What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read that Hong Kong is crowded, that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person. But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway. But the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside would be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contrasts(对比，对照): the straight vertical lines of tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boats that people live in.44 . Why do people leave home to travel according to the passage?AFor education.BFor adventure.CTo enjoy themselves.DTo look for a different lifestyle.45 . What do we learn from the passage about Paris?AIt has a large population.BIt has many tall buildings.CThere are 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway.DThere are many museums and palaces.46 . What impression will a tourist get of Hong Kong?AIt has many big and beautiful parks.BIt is very crowded.CIt has many historical spots.DIt is an important industrial center.47 . What does the passage tell us about traveling?AIt makes our life more interesting.BIt enables us to get first-hand knowledge.CIt helps develop our personalities.DIt brings about changes in our lifestyle.四、填写适当的单词补全句子随机应变：根据括号中所给的单词，填入正确的单词形式。将答案写在答题卷的相应位置上。48 .
