He has been heading for Australia with only birds, fish, and sharks ever since.Crossing the Pacific is only part of his journey. Eru has decided to go all the way around the world using his own energy. He will row, bike, walk, and climb the world without help from any motors (发动机) at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents (洲) along the way. For the first part of his trip, he bicycled 5,546 miles from Seattle, Washington to Mount McKinley in Alaska and back, walked 67 miles to base camp, and climbed 20,320 feet to McKinleys peak. Now in the second part of his adventure (冒险活动), he is rowing to Australia.Why would he try to go around the world this way? He explains that he wants to encourage kids to dream their dreams and get to their own goals. He wants to show kids that there might be hard parts along the way, and sometimes they might not even get to that final goal. But they can have great adventures and learn a lot along the way. Eru has already faced some difficulties. For example, winds and waves keep pushing him westward when he wants to go south toward the Solomon Islands. If his luck doesnt change, he will cheerfully change his plan, and aim to land at Papua New Guinea. One way or another, hes sure hell get to his next goal: Australia. When his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people especially children. He has already visited many schools and shared his story. Eru encourages all kids to set their eyes on a goal and not give up. He says, “With goals, we will make progress, and we will be farther along than when we started, even if we dont get to some goals. Thats called life!”46. We can learn from the passage that Eru _ during his adventure.A. took a train B. rowed his boat C. travelled by airD. travelled by bus47. Eru takes adventures to _.

Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging (including boxes, bags, etc) comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs. Reduce To reduce means to make less rubbish. That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers (可再利用的容器), taking smaller potions (份) at dinner so you dont waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.Reuse To reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the store. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag! Recycle (回收利用) Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you dont throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else. Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones cant. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves.51. The first paragraph of the passage implies (暗示) that _. A. packaging should be given upB. Italy is too dirty for us to visitC. the US produces most rubbishD. the earth is becoming dirtier 52. If you want to reduce, you should _.

A. only as rubbish bags B. only for carrying other thingsC. mainly to have a cleaner world D. mainly to save some money54. Which of the following can be recycled?A. Food and bottles.B. Books and newspapers.C. Paper and mobile phones. D. Plastic and electrical waste.55. The passage mainly tells us that _. A. all useless things can be recycledB. the environment is greatly improvingC. the three Rs can help us clean the earth D. we should never throw any rubbish awayDCHENGDU After flying for five minutes over Wenchuan, Li Xiang finally found a landing place for his helicopter (直升机) on a hill near the earthquake-hit county.
