Did you feel it was warmer than before? There have been 21 warm winters in China since 1986, said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global temperature went up by 0.74, the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4 in only 50 years.China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission, because its the main reason for global warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. China set the goal of cutting energy use by 20 percent and pollution emission by 10 percent.Can you slow down global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth. Wear used clothes. Wearing your brothers, sisters or dads old T-shirt means you save the energy. Change your light bulbs. Use energy-saving light bulbs. And dont forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room and turn off your television and computer when they are not in use! Ride the bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year. Say no to plastic bags. The next time your parents go to the market, ask them to use baskets. Open a window. Dont use the air conditioner, and let some fresh air in. When you have to use the conditioner, set the temperature higher in summer and lower in winter to save energy. Make small changes in your daily life. Dont use paper cups, bags and boxes.

It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible. She quickly filled a bag with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her treasurea beautiful silk scarf.Kathy and her best friend, Monica, had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves. They each would wear the scarves as a symbol of their friendship. Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning.Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck.

It is going to bring both of us luck today.” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.That afternoon Eliza left the interview, feeling sure that she had got the job. So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she was sitting at her table, she felt someone looking at her. Sitting next to her was an old woman, who could not take her eyes away from her.“Im sorry, do I know you?” Eliza asked.“Im sorry, dear, but you make me think of someone I once knew,” the old woman replied. “My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one youre wearing around your neck.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmothers best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this be Monica, her grandmothers childhood friend?Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman.“My names Monica, dear.

A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will hardly achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt(尝试) at something new, so we should not feel disappointed(失望的) and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up, we have no chance of reaching our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.Topic: Never Give UpMeaningThe words “Never give up” can (51)88 . others or oneself and express ones determination.OpinionA person who wants to (52)89 . should have the quality of determination. So we should never give up.(53).90 . If we give up too easily, maybe we will achieve (54)91 . , sowhen we fail in our first attempt at something new, we should not disappoint ourselves but try (55)92 . .Always giving up means that we will not be able to (56) 93 . any progress.Never giving up will make us learn from the mistakes weve made before and learn the (57)94 . so as not to make the same mistakes.To reach our goals and develop the confidence which can help us improve ourselves, we must not give up but (58)95 . ourselves.ConclusionIf you give up, you will have no (59)96 . of reaching your goals. Never give up and you will get your (60)97 . one day.第 18 页 共 18 页参考答案一、单选题1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12、13、14、15、16、17、18、19、20、二、完型填空1、三、阅读单选1、2、3、4、四、句型转换1、五、根据首字母、中文提示填空1、六、用所给单词的正确形式填空1、七、单词填空1、八、填空1、
