Dear Laura,
Thanks for your message. Yes, I’m having a great time 41 my exchange program in . It’s 42 better than I thought it would be. I was a bit nervous before I arrived here, but there was no reason to be. My host family is really nice. They go out of their way 43 me feel at home. And you wouldn’t believe 44 my French has improved! I’m very comfortable speaking French now. Although I still make lots of mistakes , 45 it doesn’t bother me like it used to. My biggest challenge is 46 how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are really 47 the way they are at home. For example, you 48 put your bread on your plate. You’re supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I’m used to it. 49 is that it is very rude to say you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “ It was delicious.” Also, you should always keep you hands , but not your elbows, on the table. I have to say, I find it difficult 50 , but I’m gradually getting used to things and don’t find them so strange any more. I’ll write soon and tell you more about life in . Hope you’re having a good school year.

VII. 阅读理解（40分）
A
In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to . During his stay in , he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood form trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs（手帕）and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
51. When he was in , Marco Polo ______.
A. discovered Cai Lun invented paper B. learned to make paper
C. saw many wonderful things D. read a lot of books
52. People in western countries first used paper money in the ___century.

53. About ________tons of paper are thrown away every day in our city.
A. 1,700 B. C. 2,800 D. 48,000
54. Which of the following is NOT the way of saving paper?
A. To use both sides of every piece of paper.
B. To use the paper bags from shops more than once.
C. To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones.
D. To grow more trees.
55. Which of the following is NOT TRUE ?
A. If we keep on wasting paper, we will have no paper to use.
B. The Chinese used paper money much earlier than the people in western countries.

D. It is never too late to plant trees for paper.

What is color? Why do some of the things around us look red, some green, others blue?
Colors are really made by deflected (反射) light. We see color
because most of the things reflect light. In the same way, if something
is green, it reflects most of the green light. If something reflects all
light, it is white. If it doesn’t reflect any light, it is black.
Some of the light is reflected and some is taken in (吸引) and
turned into (变成) heat (热能).The darker the color is, the less light is
reflected, the more light is taken in. So dark-colored clothes are
warmer in the sun than light-colored clothes.
56.When something reflects light, we can _____.
A. see its color B. see its heat C. not see its color D. see nothing
57.Something looks white because it reflects _____.
A. some light B. no light C. all light D. most light

Sociologists, working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in .
“Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men’s world,” said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study.
Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children can not be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won’t be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children.
Some women disagree. They say that want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances.
Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in ---“Women’s Liberation（解放）”. “I don’t wish I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that man do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men---usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there… or engineers ?”
