Mount Kilimanjaro is in Tanzania and it covers an area of 60 miles long and 40 miles wide. Kilimanjaro is an extinct volcano(死火山), with 3 peaks. Kibo is the highest one in the center.Because of Kilimanjaros great height, the mountain influences(影响) its own weather. Winds incoming from the Indian Ocean are stopped upward by the mountain and drop their moisture(湿气) as rain and snow. People have planted coffee, corn, and other crops on the lower slopes(斜坡).Mount Kilimanjaro now attracts many thousands of walkers each year. Because of a temperature rise in recent years, the beautiful snow cap of Kilimanjaro is retreating(消退) fast. A research said that the white snow on the mountain might be gone in 15 years.

Here is a survey showing the main problems of teenagers.They feel stressed because they have too much homework to do both at school and at home. They have lots of exams to take. And parents usually send them to different classes at weekends. They dont have their own time to do what they are interested in.Now more and more teenagers are getting short-sighted. They often read in bed or keep reading for a long time without having a rest. Some of them are crazy about playing computer games. Some spend too much time watching TV.Another serious problem among teenagers is that many of them are becoming fat. They eat too much junk food, but they take little exercise.I think teenagers should think of ways to deal with problems. They should make a plan for study and hobbies. In this way, they can relax themselves.35 . How many main problems are mentioned in the survey?AOne.BTwo.CThree.DFour.36 .

Now he is more likely to get on the Internet and write in a blog(博客).Differences between a blog and a diaryUsually, a person thinks of his diary as a book full of secrets. He does not want to share. But in the blog, anyone can read what he writes.Problems with bloggingThe biggest problem with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. It is easy to hurt others feelings in a blog. Because we do not always think about things carefully before we write about our days. So we have to be very careful about what we write.Keeping in touch with friendsBlogging has both good and bad points of course. People choose to blog because they know that their friends will read what they write.Blogs are a very good way to write about daily life, if people are careful about what they write. However, I still prefer writing in my diary!40 . Whats the difference between blogs and diaries according to the passage?ABlogs can be read by others while diaries only by writers themselves.BBlogs are used by young people while diaries are kept by old people.CBlogs are always good while diaries are sometimes bad to writers.DBlogs are a good way to write about life while diaries about other things.41 .

Blogging can help us _.Awrite better diariesBdo well in examsClearn how to use a computerDknow more about the people around us43 .

We can learn from the passage that _.Athe writer will choose to blog so that others can keep in touch with himBthe writer would rather(宁愿) keep diaries than write in a blogCthe writer has never blogged because he hates blogDthe writer doesnt like his friends writing in a blogChoose the best answer.If you want to do a school project on childrens rights, you can look on the Internet for some information. A United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree on all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered by their family. If their family cant do so, the government should take responsibility.Children have the right to have an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.Children must not be cruelly punished by their parents or any others.Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse（虐待）and neglect (忽略).No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.As mentioned, children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people. In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick. The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.45 . agree with the United Nations list of childrens rights.AAll countriesBA few countriesCNo countriesDMost countries46 .
