There was a lot of late-night noise. It was difficult to find parking. And the rent of the apartment was high. Finally, my husband and I decided to move to the suburbs(郊区) outside Boston.We started looking for our new home. It turned out（结果） that many other people were also moving to the suburbs and it wasn t easy to find a nice house there. Finally, we went to see a small and dark house. It needed a lot of work. But it was well built and it was on a street where we could walk to Starbucks, restaurants and bus stops. Well, before I knew it, we had made an offer and the house became ours.On our first night in the house I was very sad. The house was smelly and old. And many families and old people lived around it. I thought we had made the wrong choice and I wanted to go back to the city. But after thinking of the problems we had when we were living in the city, I calmed down. Besides, our new home wasn t that bad, after all. I had a driveway of my own. There were three big bedrooms and a backyard for my dog. Oh, how lovely the sound of nothing was. I changed the house inch by inch and it became a very comfortable home.We have been in our house for over two years until now and its the best move we have ever made. While I m glad I can drive into the city in 15 minutes and enjoy all it has offered, Im always happy to return home.5.

Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I dont agree with them. Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. 9. From the passage we know that some students often _ in the school. A. eat too much B. waste things C. dont work hard D. throw rubbish everywhere10. What may happen in 100 years? A. We may have no coal or oil to use. B. We may still have enough coal.C. We may have a little oil. D. We may still have enough oil. 11. Which of the following is right? A. Students never waste things. B. China is rich in fresh water. C. Waste brings problems. D. Waste can bring no problem.12. Which is the best title of this passage？A. Stop Wasting B. School life C. Waste in the School D. Rich Resources in ChinaDInsects (昆虫) are a very healthy food. They have almost as much protein (蛋白质) as meat from a pig or cow and are low in fat. Eating insects is also very good for the environment since they need less land and water than larger animals.Marcel Dicke, who studies insects, explained in a talk how insects also produce more meat from the food they eat. For example, imagine a farmer feeds a cow 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce about 1 pound of meat for people to eat. However, imagine the farmer gives a certain number of insects 10 pounds of food. Those 10 pounds of food produce 9 pounds of meat for people to eat!Eating more insects can also help people in poor areas. Many people can raise and sell insects, which can provide jobs and food.But insects will not replace animal meat very quickly. First, people in some countries would have to change how they think about eating insects. Many people in North America and Europe eat a lot of meat like beef and pork. But they do not traditionally eat insects. In fact, for many people in the west, eating insects sounds crazy! They believe insects are dirty and dangerous. Insects make them feel uncomfortable.13. According to the writer, eating insects _.A. is unhealthy B. makes people put on fatC. helps protect large animals D. is environmentally friendly14. What does the author want to show by giving the example of Marcel Dicke?A. Food production costs too much. B. Its quite easy for farmers to raise insects.C. Raising insects is a good choice for farmers.D. There are different ways of feeding cows and insects.15. The long way eating insects has to go mainly results from _.A. their terrible taste B. peoples old beliefsC. family traditions D. eating methods第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两个选项为多余选项。Reasons you should travel while youre youngI have been very lucky to travel around the world while still young.
