He was quite busy these days and not just with homework. He and his 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign(“光盘行动”). The students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still havent got enough to eat? Please dont waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day. The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January, 2013. It calls on people to reduce food waste.China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who eat all they order a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers(剩饭剩菜) home.To reduce food waste is a big task and it needs time. Its important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today? ( )49. _ classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign.

The owner of a restaurant in Xinjiang _ to support the campaign.A. will have dinner with those who eat up their food B. offers a free meal to the guests who finish all their food ten times C. gives stickers to the guests who ordered small dishes D. encourages customers to take leftovers home CIts only $79.99! How many times have you heard those words on TV or read them in a newspaper ad? The word only is supposed to make you think that this is a great price for the product. But think about this. How long does it take you to earn (赚取) $79.99? What do you have to do to get that money? The little thing thats only $79.99 is worth (值) almost 12 hours of your work! And if you are making less than this, how long will it take to earn that much money? So as you stand in a shop, telling yourself that you have to buy something, think about how long you must work to earn the money to pay for it. Is that $85 T-shirt really worth the time to earn $85? You could probably find a similar shirt at another shop for under $35, right? Even if your parents are still buying you clothes, someone has to work for the money. If you spend money on one thing, you dont have money to spend on anything else. So if you spend $85 on those jeans, you cannot put it in the bank, and you cannot go snowboarding or to the movies with friends because you dont have the money to go.( )53. Saying that its only $79.99 may make you think that it is . A. expensive B. important C. cheap D. suitable( )54. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. The ads may use some words to promote sales(促销). B. The $ 79.99 T-shirt doesnt have good quality. C. The T-shirt may make you spend the money you will use for some other things. D. You can find a similar T-shirt at another shop for a lower price.( )55. From the passage we know that . A. the T-shirt isnt worth buying B. the T-shirt is too expensive C. we shouldnt believe the newspaper ad D. we should think about what it is really worth before buying( )56. We can probably find the passage in a(n) . A. advertisement B. Youth Newspaper C. Year-book D. story-bookD“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in 53 AD wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?Picture this. Youre rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no car, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.The grandmother, Lyn, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a trendy (时髦的), beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.( )57. The writer uses the quote (引证) at the beginning of the story to _.A. tell us a truth about our lifeB. tell us what life was like long time agoC. point out what causes such a thing to happenD. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same( )58. The family chose to spend some time in a 1940s house because _.A. they loved to live simple livesB. they wanted to know how people lived without modern inventionsC. they were troubled by modern inventionsD. living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them( )59. According to the passage, which is NOT right?A. People who live far away from noisy cities often seem to be happierB. An unknown Roman was sure that the quality of life would get betterC. The family had some changes when they lived in a 1940s houseD. With the improvement of our lives, we often feel stressed and tired( )60. The passage is mainly about _.A. problems with technologyB. improvements of our lives with technologyC. changes happening to technologyD. the importance of technology五、词汇（每小题1分，共15分）A) 请根据句意或括号中的中文提示、英文释义，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。61.You should _(分开、隔开) the white clothes from the dark clothes before washing them.62.
