I found it was 7to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldnt change the nation, I began to focus on(集中精力) my town. I couldnt change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my 8.

The king asked his daughter how much she loved him. She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt. Her answer made the king sad. Salt is a simple thing, and it is very common. So the king thought his daughter didnt care about him. But the king was wrong. Salt might be common, but it is very important. Throughout history, salt has caused wars. So why do people care so much about salt?Salt has many uses. Our bodies need salt. If we dont have enough, our body cant work properly. We put salt on icy roads to make them safe. We also use salt to produce other products. Products like paper, glass, rubber and soap depend on salt. But for many years, salts most important job was preserving(保存)food.Like other living things, most bacteria(细菌)that cause food to spoil need water to survive. Salt absorbs large amounts of water, so most bacteria cannot live in a salty environment. As a result, salt has the ability to preserve almost anything. For much of human history, this ability has made salt treasured. Every ancient culture from Egypt to China depended on salt. Even today, we compare hardworking, useful people to salt by calling them the salt of the earth.For centuries, salt was also hard to get. The combination(组合)of usefulness and rarity made it extremely expensive. Since almost everyone needed salt, the salt trade was an important business. Salt could even be used like money. In fact, the word salary(工资)comes from the word salt. And valuable people are still described as being worth their salt. Today, salt is easy to get. It is no longer expensive, but it is still both important and useful.（1）In the first paragraph, the writer is trying to make readers . A . become interested in the old storyB . understand the importance of saltC . fall in love with saltD . understand the daughters love to salt（2）Which of the following is NOT true according to the article? A . Salt is very common, but it has many uses.B . Salt was so valuable that it was once used like money.C . Although salt is cheap now, its still important and usefulD . We can use salt to produce all the products we need.（3）Whats the meaning of the underlined word rarity? A . the quality of being rareB . the quality of being importantC . the quality of being commonD . the quality of being useful18. （8分）阅读理解 Millions of Chinese have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. You play as the mother of a frog who lives alone and enjoys travelling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.The games popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness(孤独) for a short time.Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian(英国卫报), about 40 percent of American adults say theyre lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are always or often lonely, the Telegraph(英国电讯报) reported.This might be why the UK government declared(宣布) the countrys very first Minister of Loneliness in January. The ministers job is to find ways to help UK citizens feel less lonely. The ministers office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.This loneliness problem may be partly due to social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies(自拍) without us, we may compare their perfect lives with our own and feel upset and lonely.But we should remember that no one is destined(注定) to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent(陆地), a part of the main.（1）What do players do while playing Travel Frog? A . Build houses for their frogs.B . Write postcards to their frogs.C . Choose places for their frogs to travel.D . Prepare food and tools for their frogs trips.（2）The purpose of introducing Travel Frog is to . A . tell us how to play this gameB . lead in more popular gamesC . tell us how popular this game isD . lead in the problem of loneliness（3）To deal with loneliness, Minister of Loneliness . A . designed the game Travel FrogB . found ways to get people togetherC . reported the problem in the newspaperD . stopped people from using social media（4）What does the last paragraph mean? A . In fact, we are not lonely.B . Loneliness is a big problem.C . Everyone should live the way he likes.D . It is no use to compare ourselves with others.19. （10分） Once there was a huge apple tree.

He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I dont have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears “Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest.
