Long ago,there was no tea at all in England.When tea was first introduced to England,an old couple got some tea as a special treat.But when they got it,they didn't know how it should be used.They boiled the leaves,and spread them over on a piece of chicken which they were going to have for dinner.They ate the leaves,and threw the tea away!
What a pity!In those days,a pound of tea cost so much money that only the rich could buy it.Now it's so cheap that everyone around the world can enjoy it.No matter you live in France or Germany,you can have a taste of this magic drink.To enjoy tea better,you need to have some basic information about it.
Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows mainly in China,Japan and other countries.When the tea leaves are ready to be picked,the farmers will probably get very busy.They pull off the leaves quickly and throw them into baskets.When the baskets are full,they are carried into the house.
The leaves are dried over a fire.While they are drying,workers keep turning them about.As soon as they begin to make a breaking sound,they are taken out and spread over a table.Then workers use hands to press (挤压)all the juice out of them.After being once more dried in the air,the leaves go into the pan again over the fire.At last they look as we see them.

A.They fed it to chickens. B.They drank it after dinner.

Plastic is everywhere. According to the United Nations, about 2,000 trucks of plastic waste are poured into the oceans, rivers, and lakes each day. There’s plastic waste at the bottom of the ocean and on top of Mount Qomolangma. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹).
Researchers at the University of Warsaw, in Poland have done a study. According to the study, at least 386 hermit crabs have been seen wearing trash. Of the world’s 16 kinds of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing trash. Nearly nine out of every 10 of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps. The others wore glass or metal.
Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To defend themselves from predators (捕食者), the crabs typically wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails.
Zuzanna Jagiello, one of the researchers, says that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing trash when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by doing research. They searched the Internet for photos of hermit crabs wearing trash. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by people who were just curious (好奇的). “When I first saw these pictures, I felt it was heart-breaking,” said Jagiello.
But scientists aren’t sure why hermit crabs are making homes out of trash. Maybe they can’t find enough seashells because the population of sea snails is falling. It’s also possible that they are choosing plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and habitats (栖息地) in many ways. But it isn’t clear whether the crabs are in any danger.
16. Which of the following is TRUE about the study
A. It has been done by scientists from Finland.
B. There are less than 386 hermit crabs in the study.
C. More than half of all hermit crab species wear plastic.
D. Hermit crabs prefer to wear glass, compared with metal.
17.What does the underlined word “defend” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Protect. B. Fight. C. Prevent. D. Separate.
18. How did Jagiello feel when she first saw pictures of hermit crabs wearing trash
A. Shocked. B. Upset C. Worried. D. Surprised.
19. What are the probable reasons why hermit crabs wear plastic
① They eat plastic as food.
② Seashells are not easy to find.
③ Plastic is light and easy to carry.
④ They are just curious about plastic.
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ②③ D. ③④
20. In which column of a magazine can we probably find this passage
A. FUN FACTS B. SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
C. WORLD NEWS D. NATURE & ENVIRONMENT

Leaving a store,I returned to my car only to find that I had locked my keys and cellphone inside.A teenager riding his bike saw me 21 a tire (轮胎) angrily.“What's wrong ”he asked.I explained my 22. “But even if I could call my wife,"I said,"she can't bring me her car key,since this is our only car.” He handed me his cellphone."Call your wife and tell her I'm coming to get her 23 .”“That's seven miles' round trip.""Don't worry about it."An hour later,he returned with the key.I 24 him some money,but he refused.“Let's 25 say I needed the exercise,"he said.Then,like a cowboy in the movie,

A few weeks ago,my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression "Nothing is ever easy."The next day, 26 I tried to finish my work,I happened to notice a bee on the skylight.It was high up,but I thought removing it would 27 no more than 5 minutes.An hour later,the bee still stayed there.And I was tired from 28 into the sunlight.I didn't expect to waste an hour on an insect,but by doing so,I understood what my grandfather meant.

One possible version:
My dream job
Everybody has their dream job and mine is a doctor. Last year my father fell ill and was sent to hospital. I often went there to take care of him. There I met many people who were terribly ill. It was horrible to see them live in such pain. I really want to help people like them. That’s why I want to be a doctor.
In order to realize my dream, I need a good education. So from now on I will work harder at school. Only in this way can I go to a good college and prepare myself for my dream job.
