So I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a 3 , elderly voice. After a long time, the door opened. A small old man showed up before me,4 a small bag.

They are easy to plant and easy to harvest (收获). They have a good taste. When people think about carrots, a picture of a long, thin, orange-colored vegetable usually comes into their minds. But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes. And not all carrots are orange. Carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long time. The earth also should not be too hard. To prepare your carrot garden, dig up the earth and turn it over (翻土).Weather, soil, condition and time affect (影响) the taste of carrots. Warm days and cool nights are the best time to grow great delicious carrots. The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color. Usually, the brighter the color is, the better the taste is. Most people do not know that carrots can be grown during the winter months. If the winter is not cold enough to freeze the ground, you can grow and harvest carrots the same way as you do during the summer months. Carrots are prepared and eaten in many different ways. They ate cut into thin pieces and cooked with other vegetables or meat. They are also washed and eaten just as they come out of the ground. （1）Carrots are easy to plant but hard to harvest. （2）Carrots should be grown in a field without water for a long time. （3）The best way to decide if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its size. （4）Everyone knows that carrots can be grown during the winter months. （5）We can prepare and eat carrots in many different ways. 16. （8分）阅读理解 The world is getting smaller, at least when it comes to language. More and more people speak the three most common languages: English, Spanish, and Chinese. As a result, local languages are being forgotten. In many parts of the world, grandparents speak a language that their grandchildren do not understand. Because these local languages arent taught to children or spoken at home, they are slowly disappearing（消失）。A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of local children speak it. It is considered a dying language. If children no longer learn to use a language, it will have fewer and fewer speakers over time and after a long time the language will be gone.Why should we keep languages alive? Languages show how a culture understands or explains the world. You need to look at different kinds of languages, because no one language gets it all, said researcher Dr. Linda Cumberland who is working to save Assiniboine, a Native American language.According to Dr. Cumberland, a dying language needs a dictionary and people to understand and record its grammar. More importantly, you need to listen to those who still speak the language. This can be very difficult, especially if there are very few speakers of the language left. For example, when researchers were working to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico, it was hard for them to record anything. Why? The last two people on Earth who could speak the language declined to speak to each other.（1）Why are local languages being spoken less and less? A . Because people who know the languages speak to each other less and less.B . Because people prefer to learn and speak more common languages.C . Because children dont talk much to their grandparents.D . Because people use computers to communicate now.（2）When is a language considered to be in trouble? A . When it is only spoken by local people.B . When no dictionaries record its grammar.C . When about 50 percent of local people speak it.D . When fewer than 30 percent of local children speak it.（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Dr. Linda Cumberland? A . She does some research on local languages.B . She prefers to speak more common languages.C . She once worked to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico.D . She doesnt think a dictionary is necessary for a dying language.（4）What does the underlined word declined mean in the last paragraph? A . Expected.B . Decided.C . Refused.D . Forgot.17. （25分）回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词。Yearbooks in the United statesMost high schools in the United States publish a yearbook once a year, usually in the spring.

Products (产品) arc not produced in a green way and people havent realized the importance of buying and using environmentally-friendly products. These lead to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of waste like glass, paper and plastics is produced (生产). The waste problem is difficult to deal with.However, today, more and more people are choosing “green” and expecting that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this soap be bad for the environment”Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”Over 20,000 people took part in a web survey (调查) on buying environmentally-friendly products. Among them, 8129 people say that they now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. That is to say, companies must change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that the products are “green”.A few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels to show that they are green. Some companies have made the clean and safe products their main selling point in advertisements.The growing need for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.

As a result, the companies have to take action.（1）Is it easy to deal with the waste problem?（2）What do more and more people consider before they buy products?（3）In the survey, how many people prefer green products in the supermarket now?（4）Is it possible or impossible to get green products in the supermarket now?（5）Why do the companies have to rethink how to do business and take action?五、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共21分)19. （21分）根据短文内容回答问题Table manners are very different in every country.
