A cobbler passed his time in singing from morning till night; it was wonderful to see, wonderful to hear him; he was more satisfied in making shoes than anyone else. His neighbor, on the contrary, who was rolling in wealth, sang but little, and slept less. He was a banker; when by chance he fell into a sleep at day-break, the cobbler awoke him with his song. The banker complained sadly that God had not made sleep a saleable product, like foods or drinks. Then he visited the cobbler and asked him, “How much a year do you earn, Master Gregory?”
“How much a year, sir?” said the merry cobbler laughing, “I never count my income in that way, living as what I like from one day to another; somehow I manage to make the ends meet throughout the year; each day brings its meals.”
“Well then! How much a day do you earn, my friend?” asked the banker continuously.
“Sometimes more, sometimes less; but the worst of it is that a number of days occur in the year on which we are forbidden to work, so we won’t earn any money during these days, without which our earnings would be better.”
The banker, who was laughing at the cobbler’s simplicity, said that “In the future, I will satisfy what you want. Take the hundred coins, preserve them carefully, and make use of them in time of need.”
The cobbler was very delighted and fancied that he possessed all the wealth which the earth had produced in the past century for the use of mankind. Returning home, he buried his money and his happiness at the same time. No more singing; he lost his voice. The banker could now have a sound sleep. However, at that moment, the cobbler realized that what he acquired now was the source of sorrow. Sleep broke up with him; and cares, suspicions, and false alarms took its place. All day, his eye wandered in the direction of the treasure, even at night, if some naughty cats made noises, he would think somebody was robbing him. At last, the poor man ran to the house of his rich neighbor; “Give me back,” said he, “sleep and my voice, and take your hundred coins.”
24. Which of the followings is the best title for this story?
A. Taking and giving. B. Helping those who are in trouble.
C. The cobbler and the banker. D. Cats and the noises.
25. What does the underlined phrase “make the ends meet” mean?
A. don’t have enough money B. balance between the expense and the income
C. have too much money D. the expense is more than the income
26. Why did the banker visit the cobbler?
A. Because he wanted to stop the cobbler from disturbing his sleep by not singing.
B. Because he liked the cobbler very much.
C. Because he wanted to know how much did the cobbler earn per year.
D. Because he wanted to make the cobbler richer.
27. At last, what happened to the cobbler?
A. He worried about his money day and night.
B. He buried all the money and was very happy.
C. He wondered how to use all the money.
D. He realized the source of his sadness and returned the money.

According to the most recent count, more than 6,500 homeless people sleep on the street or in shelters in San Francisco, and there are only eight shower facilities(设施) specifically available to the homeless, and most of these have just one or two stalls(淋浴间)and aren’t open every day. Now San Francisco-based company Lava Mae, is trying to change that with a simple but smart idea—turning retired city buses into mobile showers for the homeless. The idea known as Lava Mae, is a response to the need of the homeless in the city.
It all started two years ago when Sandoval got in a cab after a meeting in the SoMa district of San Francisco, where the homeless mainly lived. “My driver turned around and said, ‘Welcome to the land of broken dreams.’ ” Then Sandoval awoke from her imagination and started really look at the people around her. “ A woman I passed was crying and saying that she would never be clean”, Sandoval said. She took what the woman said as a sign that she should focus on the problem of hygiene(卫生), one of the most pressing needs for the homeless.
After doing some research, Sandoval hit on the idea of a mobile unit that could be equipped with shower facilities. According to the company’s founder Doniece Sandoval, every bus will be renewed and equipped with two separate private areas, each with a shower stall, sink, changing areas, toilet and bench. Sandoval says that if everyone sticks to a five-minute shower, a single Lava Mae bus could provide service for about 100 people during each 8- to 10-hour shift.
The project has been several years in the making as it has not been easy to get officials to agree. In addition, it is also difficult to ask the bus company to donate buses. Now she has reached an agreement with a bus company, which will donate the buses being retired in the next four years.
While Lava Mae is now focused on the city of San Francisco, there is no reason that the idea cannot be spread all over the world.
32. The main idea of this passage is that ____________.
A. the homeless lived a comfortable life in San Francisco
B. the bus company shows great support to Lava Mae
C. Lava Mae creates shower service to help the homeless
D. Sandoval made great achievements in her career.
33. ____________ contributed to Sandoval’s idea of creating mobile shower service to help the homeless.
A. The benefit of her company
B. The requirement of the government
C. The poor woman that she met in SoMa district
D. The meeting she had in the SoMa district of San Francisco
34. What is TRUE about the project of Lava Mae?
A. A single Lava Mae bus could provide service for 100 people at a time.
B. The project has met a lot of difficulties.
C. The officials strongly support the project.
D. The idea of Lava Mae will not be spread all over the world.
35. What is the author’s attitude about Lava Mae’s development?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Uncertain.

A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference． 36
Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. 37 After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants. 38 That means harmful material may get into our food supply.
39 Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also works—where old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.
The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 40 And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.
But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.
A. Then, fish may eat the plastics.
B. It asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use.
C. The plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters.
D. The report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.
E. Plastics should be gathered together and reused.
F. But people can make a big difference.
G. It is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.

The Internet has another 63 (advantage). Anyone can create a website, so you can find websites about whatever you can imagine. Unfortunately, a lot of what 64 (write) on them isn’t always true!
At the same time, the Internet provides many other things. On some websites, you can download music and films. They are usually very cheap 65 some are even free. On some other websites, you can connect with people 66 all over the world. And there are some great online shops, too. For example, on eBay, people sell used clothes, CDs and even cars at very low prices.
It is true that the Internet 67 (change) the way we work and communicate. But we shouldn’t depend on 68 too much. Some people are also afraid that 69 (surf) the Internet has taken the place of other healthier activities, 70 (especial) for young people.

Good afternoon, everyone:
First, I’m very glad to stand here talking with all of you.
As everyone knows, health is the most important thing in our life. Firstly, by doing sports, we get our body trained. Secondly, doing proper activities keeps us physically fit. Lastly, when taking part in sports, we can learn not only the spirit of cooperation and optimism, but also how to deal with difficulties.
What’s more, nowadays the Ministry of Education carries out a national campaign of the students’ sports. The motto is that “doing sports for one hour each day, you will work healthy in fifty years and live a happy life forever.”
As for me, I enjoy doing sports because this is a good thing for all of us. Some students in Grade Three think it is a waste of time, but I don’t think so. Doing sports can not only let us relax ourselves but also get more chances to breathe fresh air and appreciate the natural beauty. We can’t study all the time .We will be tired and have little progress if we don’t relax. Relaxing can make better progress, and it’s good for our study. So, let’s do sports together and make our life more colorful.
Thank you
