A I am a college student in Shanxi Normal University(大学)now. Three years ago,1 was a senior(高中生). I liked taking part in many kinds of activities with my classmates, such as holding sports meetings, planting trees, visiting some places, watching the traffic with the policemen and donating clothes, books, pencil boxes and money to poor villages. But I can never forget a special activity-a visit to a school for the blind and the deaf. On October 3rd, 2008, the students in our class visited Anqing Blind and Deaf School. We had a party with some of the disabled students there. We played games together and had a wonderful time. I met a girl named Zhao Yang at the party. She couldn't say a word or hear. We "talked" with each other by making some gestures(手势)and writing on each other's hand. Soon we became good friends. When it was time to say "goodbye", she wrote on my hand, "Please come here as often as possible.” Most of us are kind to disabled people, and we often donate money to them. But the disabled people want more communication(交流) with ordinary(普通的 ) people. If you know any disabled people, please don't forget to visit them "as often as possible". They need your help. 41.

That's not because these artists particularly like the co lour green. Instead, they are interested in green fashion. Green fashion is about making (and wearing) clothes that are good for humans, animals, and the Earth. In the past, green fashion made people think of hippies(嬉皮士) and ugly clothes. But today, green fashion is different. It is about looking good and caring about the Earth and other people. You can have interesting clothes and be green. Around the world, green fashion is becoming popular. For example, the U. K. company People Tree sells men's and women's clothing and accessories (饰品). They are made from natural fabrics (织物) like cotton and wool. Workers who make the clothes are from countries like Nepal, Kenya, and Bangladesh. People Tree pays the men and women good money for the clothes they create. Singer Bono and his wife also started a clothing company called EDUN. When the clothes sell, EDUN uses most of the money to help people around the world. 48. According to the passage, what is "green fashion"? A. Wearing the colour green all the time. B.

They are in their shells(壳)-sleeping. Hot sun will dry out a snail's body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep. In spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers(触角)are very weak. But its sense of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens. A snail's mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin(大头针).Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can't see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones. 52. A snail_______. A. moves more slowly at night B. has thousands of feet C. doesn't move at all D. sleeps much of the time 53. In the sentence "a snail draws its body into its shell", the word "draw" means_______.
