Have you ever seen or used a saw, or “ju” in Chinese Do you know who invented it
The inventor was Lu Ban. He was born in the state of Lu in ancient China more than 2,500 years ago. That is where Qufu lies in the east of Jining.
Lu Ban was the greatest carpenter (木匠) in his time. Once the king ordered him and his team to build a palace in a very short time. They would be punished if they missed the deadline(最后期限). They had only axes or fuzi in Chinese, to cut the trees and prepare the wood for the palace, so work was very slow.
One day Lu Ban rushed up the hill to see how things were going. Suddenly the sharp teeth of a leaf cut his hand. Then a bright idea came into his head. Soon he made a tool with teeth along the side of a long iron bar (条状物). With this tool, work became much faster, and they completed the work before the deadline.
That is how the saw was invented.
Lu Ban invented many other useful tools for carpenters and interesting toys f children. The Wooden Bird, for example, could stay in the air for three days. That’s why he is regarded as the God of Carpentry.

In many places, people build roads through animals’ habitats (栖息地). All day long, cars and trucks pass by. The animals can’t always stay away from the road. They may need to cross it to get their food and water. The road is dangerous. If a car hits an animal, the animal would be badly hurt or even killed. The people in the car would get hurt, too. Animals need a way to get around their habitat without having to walk across the road. But how
Some people have thought of a solution (方法). They build wildlife corridors (走廊) that let animals cross roads safely. Some wildlife corridors are bridges that go over roads. People plant tees and grass on these bridges so they look like the natural habitat. Other wildlife corridors are tunnels (隧道) that go under the roads. Animals can look through them and see the habitat on the other side.
Different animals like to use different kinds of corridors. Some animals, such as moose and deer, like open spaces. They like bridge corridors better. Other animals, like black bears, like the tunnel corridors.
Wildlife corridors help animals get around their habitats to find food. They also keep people from getting into dangerous accidents. They are a great way for animals and people to live in the same area safely.
From Paragaphy1,we can learn roads through animal’s habits .
make many animals unable to find food
Make many animals leave their habitats
Let animals walk around their habitats freely
Put both animals and people in danger
55. People build wildlife corridors mainly to .
A. help animals find more food B. make animals stay in their habitats
C. provide more habitats for animals D. protect animals from being hurt
56. would like to cross the road through tunnel corridors.
A. Monkeys B. Black bears C. Deer D. Moose

Birdwatching is becoming more and more popular among people of all ages. The hobby, also known as birding, is an excellent way to enjoy nature and learn something about the flying creature.
Watching bird becoming a hobby as we know began in the 20th century. Its earlier form in the 19th century could be called "bird killing". Almost all students of birds used guns (枪) to shoot interesting-looking birds down. They could only learn about a bird when its dead body was in their hands.
Luckily, technology (技术) finally caught on—binoculars were born in 1825—and helped people learn about birds without harming them. From the 1880s, birding enjoyed a quick rise in popularity. It first became popular in Great Britain, with the US not far behind, and later in many other Western countries.
Along the way, birders have enjoyed reading great bird books. Gilbert White's 1788 book Natural History of Selborne was hot during those days. It shows birds and animals through the changing seasons in a British village called Selborne. The book is still hot today. With the most amazing bird paintings, John James Audobon's Birds of America was another best-seller. Moreover, some magazines also played a part in the growth of birders' interest.
In any event, it's clear that birdwatching has developed (发展) from a natural human curiosity (好奇) about the world around us. It used to be cruel (残忍的) , but birding today is a peaceful hobby. And more often than not, today's birdwatchers care deeply about birds' living places so they can live freely under the same sky as us.
57. Who is suitable for going birdwatching
A. The young B. The old C. People of all ages D. People living in the wetland
58. What did people do to learn about a bird before 1825
A. They killed the bird. B. They went to the forest.
C. They caught the bird in hands. D. They used the binoculars.
59. We can find ______ from Natural History of Selborne.
A. a British village’s history B. some birds' life around a year
C. all birds in the United States D. many amazing bird paintings
60. The writer writes the passage in order to ______ .
A. tell people how birdwatching developed
B. introduce some great bird books to bird lovers
C. advise people to take up birdwatching as a hobby
D. ask people to care about birds' living places

The Secret Garden is written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. She was born in 1849 in Manchester, England. When her father died suddenly, life became difficult for her family. In 1863, the family moved to Tennessee, the USA. When Frances was sixteen years old, she began writing stories for ladies’ magazines and soon she was making enough money for all of the family.
In 1884 she wrote her first children’s story, Little Lord Fauntleroy. The book was very popular. After 1887, Frances lived in a large house with a lovely garden called Great Maytham Hall in England. This house and its garden inspired (启发) her to write The Secret Garden.
The Secret Garden was published (出版) in 1911. At the time it was not as popular as Little Lord Fauntleroy. However, today it is one of the most popular children’s books.
In the story, Mary Lennox’s parents die in India and she arrives at her uncle’s house in England. She is ten years old, thin, angry and spoilt. She finds the secret garden. She starts to work in the garden and Dickon, a local boy, helps her. Then she finds her cousin Colin. He is ill and can’t walk, but with the help of Mary, Dickon and the secret garden, he gets well.
Mary is like Frances as a child. Both of them had to move to a strange new country because of the death of their parents. Both loved reading and were imaginative (富有想象力的).
When she wrote the book, Frances was interested in some new ideas. She believed the power of nature. Another new idea was thinking positively. People thought it made illness go away. In the story, the garden changes Mary from an angry child into a happy child, and Colin walks again when he begins to think about what is good in life.
61. How did Frances make money when she was young
A. By looking after sick children. B. By working in the garden.
C. By writing stories for magazines. D. By selling ladies’ magazines.
62. What gave Frances the idea for The Secret Garden

A. How Mary found the secret garden. B. Why The Secret Garden is popular.
C. Where the secret garden was. D. What The Secret Garden is mainly about.
64. What does the underlined word “positively” mean
A. hopefully B. carefully C. hopelessly D. carelessly
65. What did Frances and Mary have in common (共同)
A. They didn’t like reading. B. They could both think of new ideas.
C. Both of them had a happy childhood.
D. They moved to the same place after their parents died.
五、信息还原题。
People say that the eyes are the windows of our soul. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very pretty. 66 Here are some ways to help you.
Pay more attention(注意) to your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. 67
Moreover, some vitamins（维生素）A and B2 are also very useful.
Enough sleep is a must. Sleep helps the body to repair its tired tissues (组织). When you are sleeping, your eyes can get enough rest. Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. 68
You must exercise your eyes every day. Exercising makes the eyeballs watery, and gives them a good wash.
69 For example, if a small thing goes into our eye, we start rubbing(揉搓) it, it is wrong. Rubbing is bad for your eyes. Don‘t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses because sunlight can make eyes tired. Too much reading, writing, watching TV or working on the computer can also make our eyes tired.
70 Your life will be very colourless without your eyes.

Protecting Tigers
Good morning, everyone! Today I am very happy to be here to give a report on protecting tigers. Tigers are the kings of the animal world. They are big and strong. They have very bright eyes. They have orange fur with dark strips. They can run very fast, but only for a short while. They are able to swim and climb. Tigers like to live alone. They live on animals like deer, sheep.
Sadly, there are not many tigers left in the wild now. They are in danger because hunters catch tigers for their fur, bones or other parts of the body. Also, some people want to make the forests smaller and smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less space for tigers.
Moreover, so we should take action to protect tigers. If we do nothing, soon there will be none left. We should encourage the government to make laws to provide cover and food for them. What’s more, We should also prevent the hungers from hunting them. Last but not least, we should build more reserves to protect the forests so that tigers can have enough living space. Wild animals are our friends. It’s our duty to help them live a happy life in the wild.
That’s all. Thank you very much!
