When it comes to helping developing countries，we often think about offering money in order that they can build schools and hospitals，buy food and medicine，or find clean water supplies. These seem to be the most important basic needs in their lives. However，it's far from enough. We have to come up with better ideas.

A man called Nicholas Negroponte invented a cheap laptop computer，which he decided to

invent after he visited a school in Cambodia. The laptop which Mr. Negroponte has designed is not the same as the normal one that you can buy in the shops. One difference is that it will be

covered in rubber so that it is strong and won't be damaged easily .As an electricity supply can be

a problem in developing countries，the computer also has a special handle in order that children

can wind the computer up to give it extra power when needed.

This special laptop computer will cost less than 100 US dollars and Mr.Negroponte wants to

produce as many as 15 million laptop computers in the first year .The idea is that these computers

will help the children's education as they will be able to access the Internet .These

computers

might not benefit the people in developing countries immediately，but by improving children's

education they should help people to find their own solutions to their problems in the long term.

Another idea to help children in developing countries is to recycle old mobile phones so that

hey can be used again. In the UK. and probably in many other countries too，millions of mobile

phones are thrown away every year. The waste crested by throwing away thee old phones is very

bed for the environment， so it seems to be an excellent idea to achieve two important goals at the same time，We will reduce the waste we produce and help others .In other words ,we will be able to\" kill two birds with one ”and that is always a good thing.

What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.

When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads.However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be

air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working?

These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality.

Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting

possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic

They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies

already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical

companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive.

So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes.Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we

can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.

What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination? Right. A pen.

Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.

Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.

In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.

The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.

Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.

(八) C

Thousands of years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom. There were wolves and bears,

many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.

All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty-five million. Three-quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”.

Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees which at first grew in

Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more — but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain’s forests — but soon there might be!

根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

1.What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago?

A. About 25 million. C. More than 61 million.

Do you often run outdoors to keep healthy？ Have you ever thought about how running helps to clean up the earth？

Sometimes a creative mind can bring us a win-win(双赢) situation.

Plogging, a new way to exercise, began in Sweden(瑞典). The name “plogging” comes from

two words—the Swedish(瑞典的) word “plocka”, which means “to pick up(捡起)”, and the word “jogging”, which means \"to run slowly\". A Swedish man called Erik started the movement.He saw rubbish here and

there when riding to work each day. He became worried about the dirty environment and decided not to

go to work by bike any more. Instead, he began to run to work and pick up the rubbish at the same time. To his joy, more and more people followed him and soon plogging became popular.

Many people choose plogging instead of just jogging because they think plogging is a good way to help clean up the

earth. Sometimes rubbish is difficult to collect because it may scatter all around. But if

the runners pick up the rubbish on the way, it is quite different. After all, many hands make light work. Another reason is that plogging burns more calories(卡路里). According to a research, logging for 10

minutes burns 48 calories, while usual jogging for 10 minutes burns about 39 calories.

Everyone on the earth should play a part in cleaning it up! It's time for us to take action together. So ready? Let s plog tomorrow! 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
