Passage 1
How green are you ? Do you know how to be green ?
We all need a healthy environment,but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young , we can still do something to help.In fact , even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment . Here are some ideas for you .
Reduce
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment .Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary --- or maybe the old one will be just as good ! When we do buy things ,choose local products if possible, and try not to buy many things from abroad.
Reuse
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible .When we buy things , make sure that they last a long time .We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones .Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag .It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else” Though it makes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them . Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programs. We should also buy products made from recycled materials. Such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
So please remember these three words: reduce , reuse, and recycle.

Passage 2（2016年重庆A卷）
Many of you have heard a Cinderella (灰姑娘) story, but you may not know that there are over a hundred different ways to tell the Cinderella story. When writers tell the same story in a different way, it is called their “version” of the story. The story of Cinderella has many different versions. Let’s read two of them and find out how they are different.
The version that most people know is the oldest one written in 1697 by Charles Perrault from France. This is the version where the birds help make Cinderella’s dress and the mice turn into carriage men (马车夫) and help Cinderella go to the dance in a pumpkin (南瓜) carriage. In this version, many of the animals are Cinderella’s friends. They help her meet the Prince. Cinderella marries the Prince and they live happily together ever after.
In another version of this story written in the 1850s by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm from Germany, the birds help Cinderella in the whole story. Cinderella’s father gives her a little tree when he comes back from a party. She plants the little tree and her tears water it until it grows into a tall tree.
The birds now live in the tree and they give Cinderella a dress of gold and shoes of gold. Cinderella goes to the party to meet and dance with the Prince. Later, he finds Cinderella at home doing work for her stepmother (继母). Cinderella marries the Prince and they live happily ever after.
Now you can understand what the word “version” means and how more than one writer can tell a story in a different way. That is why there are many versions of the same story.
( )1.The Chinese meaning of the word “version” in this passage is probably “________”.
A. 人物    B. 语气    C. 方法    D. 版本
( )2. If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best? (①= Para. (自然段) 1 ②= Para. 2 ③= Para. 3 ④= Para. 4
⑤= Para. 5)
A.①; ②③④; ⑤  B. ①②; ③; ④⑤
C. ①②; ③④; ⑤ D. ①; ②; ③④⑤
( )3. According to the passage, we can infer that there can be many versions of the same story because ______.
A. there’re many authors who create stories

C. there’re different ideas from different authors

Passage 3（2017年重庆B卷）
Could the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east? Could the children in poor rural (农村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.
In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition (营养) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.
It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.
Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.
With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.

A. 逃离 B. 获益 C. 受害 D. 赚钱

A.①②;③④;⑤ B. ①;②③;④⑤

Passage 5
The Internet is changing the world. It is becoming an important part of our lives.
The Internet makes our lives more interesting. We can get all kinds of information on the Internet and share it with others. We can make friends 
and share our ideas and feelings with each other by sending emails or 
chatting online. We can also do shopping, study, listen to music and watch 
movies. This helps make life easier.
However, the Internet is not perfect.We should use it safely. Everyone can post information, and not all of it is true.Some people use the Internet to hurt others and try to get money by cheating. Some young people usually spend 
too much time playing games and so on. The Internet can change our lives for the better ,but we should use it 
carefully.
