What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?_____________________________________
After the Spring Festival,I found some of my mom's daily habits have changed.
Her cooking way was different.Vegetables that had been cooked crisply (脆) became very tender and soft.Fish that had been fried(煎炸的) became soup.Her old shredded(切成细条的) potato turned into diced potato...Feeling strange,Dad and I asked Mom the reason for the change.But all she said was,"Just trying a different taste." Then she was silent.
But it wasn't just her cooking way.____ After dinner,instead of watching films on TV as usual,she would put on her newly-bought sports clothes and asked Dad to go out for a walk.After they came back home,Mom would lose herself in magazines or newspapers about healthcare.Mom almost never gets sick.Why was she suddenly interested in medicine?
I couldn't understand her "abnormal" behavior.Then one day I came across her micro blog(博客)."While visiting my parents during the Spring Festival,I suddenly realized that they are in their 70s now," my morn had written."They move slowly and it is hard for them to do the housework.I should visit them more often..."
"Some cooking should be changed to keep them healthy.They like fish soup,diced potato,tender and soft vegetables..."
"I must also keep fit by doing physical exercise.If my parents are too weak to move around,I can be strong enough to take care of them.When I am old,my son can also pay less attention to taking care of me..."
When I read this,I felt very sorry.I used to complain that Mom didn't understand me and couldn't give me everything I wanted.I always thought there was a wide gap(沟) between us.But now I completely understand her.How great she is! She always thinks of others before herself.Everything she does is to help the people she loves live better lives.How unselfish her love is!Which of the following can be put into the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A.Mom also changed other habits. |
B.Mom didn't want to do anything else. |
C.Mom began to take interest in sports. |
D.Morn complained she was very tired. |
Why did mom change her cooking way?
A.Because she wanted to try a different taste. |
B.Because she wasn't interested in cooking any more. |
C.Because she was suddenly interested in medicine. |
D.Because she tried to find a cooking way suitable for her parents. |

A.Morn has changed her daily habits |
B.Mom's love can be great and selfless |
C.a wide gap between Morn and me |
D.the importance of Mom's cooking way |
Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing? No paper,no books,no test paper.Nor are there any pencils or pens which always seem to run out of ink at the important moment.
A "paperless classroom" is what more and more schools are trying to achieve.Students don't do any handwriting in this class. Instead,they use hand-sized or specially-designed computers.The teacher downloads information from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer.
Having computers also means that students can use the Web.They can look up information on any subject they're studying from math to social science.High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida,US,described how her class used the Web to learn about what's going on in the world.
"We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee(难民) camps," she said."Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible " And exams can go online too.At a high school in Tennessee,US,students take tests on their own computers.The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own grade book on the Internet.
A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper.High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky,US,said she used to give about900 pieces of paper each week to each student.
"Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers," she said.But,with all this technology,there's always the risk that the machines will break down.So,paper books are still widely available for these hi-tech students.In a paperless classroom,what is a must?
A.Pens. | B.Computers. |
C.Information. | D.Books. |
The high school teacher,Judy Herrell,used the example of her class to show that ____.
A.the Web could take them everywhere |
B.the Web taught them a lot |
C.the Web can help students have online exams |
D.the Web can help students get the latest news |
Which of the following is NOT the writer's opinion?
A.The paperless classroom will be good for trees. |
B.There are some differences between the paperless studies and those in the usually way. |
C.Paper books are no longer useful. |
D.Paper-free studies are popular with more and more schools. |

Since the first Earth Day started on April 22, 1970, people around the world have been encouraged to protect the environment and natural resources.Gaylord Nelson started this holiday.On the first Earth Day,20 million people took part in Earth Day events.
Earth Day activities can include learning something about technology like cars that are more environmentally friendly and special houses that save energy and water.An organization called the Earth Day Network encourages people to use clean energy which doesn’t pollute the environment.Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels (化石燃料) that are found underground.Coal, oil and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.Fossil fuels come from plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.Burning fossil fuels to create energy pollutes the air and water.Many scientists think that burning fossil fuels also increases the temperature of the earth.To reduce the use of fossil fuels.scientists are experimenting with hydrogen-powered (氢化发动的)cars.These cars don’t pollute the air like gas-powered cars.
Some scientists guess that by 2025, fossil fuels will run out.When people can no longer use gasoline, they may use fuel cells instead.Fuel cells use hydrogen to create energy.People do not need to worry about hydrogen running out, because it is renewable and replaceable.
In Washington,D.C., a few people drive cars that run on fuel cells.When these cars need more energy, drivers can go to a hydrogen pump.The first hydrogen pump for the public opened in November 2004, marking an important step toward a cleaner environment.what can we learn from the passage?
A.Fossil fuels don’t pollute the air.
B.Hydrogen-powered cars make less pollution.
C.Many drivers are driving hydrogen-powered cars.
D.We can find many hydrogen pumps in the USA.How long may people still be able to use fossil fuels?
A.Twenty years. | B.Over thirty-eight years. |
C.More than ten years. | D.About seventeen years. |
Which of the following is not mentioned?
A.Scientists are producing more hydrogen-powered cars. |
B.Some people drive fuel-cell cars in Washington. |
C.Fossil fuels come from plants and animals. |
D.We can learn about environmentally friendly technology from Earth Day activities. |
When do fossil fuels pollute the air?
A.When we use them to create gasoline. |
B.When people get them from the underground. |
C.After being burned to get energy. |
D.After getting them from a hydrogen pump. |
Because hydrogen is renewable, we don’t need to worry that ________.
A.it will be used up |
B.it can be used for creating energy |
C.it will pollute the environment |
