Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the earth!The earth has warmed by about 1F (华氏度) over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which makes the earth warmer. First, greenhouse effect (温室效应) is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate (气候) change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too. When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one meter by 2100.People can affect the earths air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth. （1）Earth Day is probably set for people to _. A . learn more about the earthB . make full use of the earthC . take better care of the earth.D . study the warmth of the earth（2）Greenhouse effect comes from_. A . sea risingB . climate changeC . natures unbalanceD . peoples activity（3）According to the passage, _ many affect each other. A . animals and islandB . climate and the warmth of the earthC . fridges and animalsD . sea level and the growth of plants（4）We can infer (推断) from the passage that the reasons for the warmer earth are_ now. A . not very clearB . completely secretC . well knownD . not given yet（5）The passage mainly tells us that _. A . there is more rain nowB . we should protect the earthC . we must stop pollutionD . sea level is getting higher24. （6分）阅读理解The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computersHowever, there is another difference between humans and computersComputers dont forget information they are given, but humans often doNo one remembers everything, and luckily we dont usually have toBut everyone can improve their memory if they want toHere are some suggestionsTry to use new information immediatelyFor example, if you meet someone who says Hi!

I come from China and now live in the USA.One day, my older daughter, Madison, told me she didnt want to be Chinese. Those days she was crazy about the book characters Madeline and Eloise. She kept asking me why she was Chinese and they werent, and how she could have blonde or red hair like them.This made me look for books with Asian (亚洲的) characters for Madison to read. However, I only found a few, and they were heavily cultural, and Madison didnt connect (把联系在一起) herself with any if the characters in them. And she wasnt interested in them at all. Then she told me again that she didnt want to be Chinese, and it broke my heart.In most of the books for children in the USA, the characters look like Americans. Few of them have Asian faces, although there are over 17 million Asians and Asian Americans in this country. I think its important for Asian children to see themselves in books as interesting and smart kids.So I created (创作) a book for Madison. Pepper Zhang in the book is an Asian girl. Her imagination (想象) takes her on a trip to creativity and art! I want my children to know-that being Chinese or being Asian is a great thing, too.（1）判断正误：Jerry is a Chinese living in the USA. （2）判断正误：Madeline and Eloise are two book characters. （3）回答问题：What broke Jerry
