Cooling the computer can cost a lot. So some scientists wonder what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used.Large Internet companies (公司）such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers. As these computers deal with information, they produce lots of heat, so they need huge cooling systems(系统）. These systems send the heat into the air.A company in Holland(荷兰） thinks paying to make the computers work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So the company developed a special devicethe e-Radiator.Boaz Leupe, head of the company, says the e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money. He explains that the energy is used twiceonce to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users dont have to pay to cool their computers.Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.We pay for the computer using, so, in that way, homeowners get heating for free, Boaz says.Jan Visser is one of the homeowners. If you use the computer more, the e-Radiator produces more heat, he says. It cant provide enough heat if you dont use your computer often. But he is ready to try it. Its a great help for his family.The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55. It says the system could save its users about $440 a year.（1）58.Before the e-Radiator appears, usually the heat of a computer_.

People think the giant panda is very lovely. So it is not surprising that the World Wide Fund for Nature chose the giant panda as its symbol. The WWF tells people about animals that they are in danger and raises money to save them.The giant panda only lives in the wild in China. In the early 1980s, were only 1,000 left in the wild. The main reason why pandas are endangered is that the area where pandas can live has become smaller.The WWF works to help giant pandas in the wild in many ways. One of the ways that helps them is to increase the size of panda reserves(自然保护区). Some reserves need to be joined together by planting bamboo between them to make “corridors”. These are paths that lead from one reserve to another. No one may harm the pandas in these areas. The corridors let pandas move from one habitat (栖息地) to another to look for food. People are working very hard to make sure the giant panda does not die out. （1）How long and heavy can a giant panda grow to be?（2）将文中划线的句子改为被动句。So it is not surprising that _by the World Wide Fund for Nature.（3）Why are the giant pandas endangered?（4）Give a way to help the giant pandas in the wild, please.（5）将文中划线的句子翻译成中文。4. （8分）根据短文内容选择最佳答案。Today is the fifth day of August.

Cindy, my company wants to promote (升职) me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that youve done well and allowing you to skip (跳) a grade, but youll have to leave your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher? She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was lost in thought. The question kept me wondering for the rest of the night. I had said yes but for the first time, I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make.For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening Id eagerly wait for the phone to ring and then tell her everything happened during the day. A phone call, however, could never take her place and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large empty apartment, It was then I started to understand the difficult choices she had to make. She needed to think about both family and work. Faced with difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldnt know whether you make the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with a positive attitude.Back home, I reminded myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she managed to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be independent. I learn how to take care of myself and set high but achievable goals.My mother is now back with us. But I will never forget what the experience has really taught me. Ive learned a lot because of this separation. There are lots of difficult decisions that we have to face in our life. We need to have a positive attitude no matter what happens.（1）It was _ for the writer to say yes to her mothers decision. A . difficultB . excitedC . unusualD . happy（2）Which of the following sentence can be put in the blank in Paragraph 3? A . I thought my mother might regret her decision.B .

I realized how lonely my mother was in Brazil herself.（3）It can be learned from the passage that the writer _. A . achieved all the high goals in her lifeB . wanted to go abroad alone like her motherC . found it hard to make any decisionD . learned a lot from the unforgettable experience三、 任务型阅读。（共5题，每题1分，满分5分） (共1题；共5分)6. （5分）任务型阅读Do you know that a student can produce up to 240 pounds of school waste and lots of waste gas (气体) during a term? This includes transportation, food, paper, pens, pencils and so on.Transportation Some parents drive their kids to school every day. We all know waste gas from cars is a main cause air pollution. If parents who live in a neighborhood can take turns to drive their kids to school each day, thatll be better. Another way of going green is to walk to school if students live near their schools.Food Its surprising that only one elementary school can produce up to 19,000 pounds of lunch waste each year. Thats only one school. One way to help take care of the environment is to stop using plastic bags. There are all kinds of environmental boxes for students to put their food in.Paper, pens and pencils Lots of paper is thrown away by American students. They throw away about 1.6 billion pens every year. They waste many pens and chemicals (化学药品) in them are bad for the environment. Many more pencils are thrown away than pens. Pencils are made from trees, so if more pencils are thrown away, more trees will be cut down. So students should reuse (再使用) paper, pens and pencils instead of throwing them away.Backpacks As fashion comes and goes, almost every kid needs a new backpack every year. They can save lots of money and materials if they reuse the same schoolbags each year.How to save the environmentTransportationIf possible, parents in a neighborhood should_to drive their kids to school each day.Students can go to school _if their homes are not far from their schools.Food_can be used to keep food for lunch instead of plastic bags.Paper, pens and pencilsPapers, pens and pencils shouldnt _but be reused.BackpacksLots of money and materials can be saved if the same _each year.四、 词汇运用，根据中文用正确形式填空。（共15题，每题1分，满分 (共10题；共10分)7. （1分）January is the first_/mAn/of the year. 8. （1分）根据句意和提示写出单词，完成句子。Guilin is a very beautiful city in the s_of China.
