Read the article and select the best answer. Article: You might have noticed that the cost of food has gone up.In fact the price of wheat and rice has nearly doubled in the past few years.It's thought that right now,850 million people--that's more than 10 times the population of the UK--are short of food because it's too expensive or there's not enough of it. The price of basic food such as wheat and corn has stayed the same for quite a long time,about 30 years.But as the world's population is getting bigger,there's more pressure to feed more people,plus there's less land and water to go round. Another reason is climate change.Droughts and floods make it hard to grow crops like rice and grain.The price of oil has gone up and that makes it more expensive for farmers to run their tractors and to transport the food they make.And lots of fields are being used to grow crops to make other things that can't be eaten--which is bad news for hungry people. The main losers are poor people who live in cities in poor countries,who are facing higher prices for food.Some people are doing well out of the food crisis though.Farmers in rich countries like the US,Canada and Australia are getting record prices for their harvests. World leaders are meeting in the Italian capital Rome to talk about the problem of rising food prices.Some countries are helping out with the cost of foods and international aid agencies have called for more money for food production in poor countries. Question: What is the best title for this passage? Options: A: Why is the Price of Food Going Up? B: How Many People are Short of Food? C: What Can We Learn from the Food Crisis? D: Who Can Benefit from the Food Crisis?

Q: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: We can see waste everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them. Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources , we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need and so on. Little by little, we will change everything. We can stop waste one day, if we do our best. Question: Which of the following is right? Options: A: Waste brings problems. B: Waste can bring no problem. C: China is rich in fresh water. D: Students never waste things.
A: A

Question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: The next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks like Mickey Mouse or your favorite fruit, look again. It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo -- a logo that flies. It's a new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's a different way to market your products, logos, and events. These funny logos are made with soap bubbles mixed with a little helium gas ,which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $ 2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds. Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20, 000 feet, they usually float around at 300- 500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future. Flogos are Green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment. Question: Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? Options: A: Machines -- Used for Flogos! B: Flogos -- Logos that fly! C: Advertising -- Made of Fruits! D: Clouds -- Like Mickey Mouse!

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: "Who did this?" asked my teacher. Thirty children tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher might have found out. "Who did this?" she asked again. She never became angry, but she was this time. She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, "Who broke this window?" "Oh, oh," I thought. I was the one who broke the window. I did not do it on purpose . It was caused by a bad throw of a baseball. Why did it have to be me? If I admitted it, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? "My father is going to get angry at me," I thought. I didn't want to raise my hand, but something much stronger than me pulled it up. "I did it," I said. Then I was silent. It was hard enough saying what I had. My teacher went to one of our bookshelves and took down a book. She then began walking towards my desk. I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me. "I know how you like birds," she said as she stood looking down at my face. "Here is the field guide about birds that you always _ from our school library. It is yours now. We have got a new one for the school. You will not be punished . But remember, it's only for your honesty." I couldn't believe it! I wasn't being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide, the one that I had been saving up all my money to buy. Question: What can we learn from the story? Options: A: The writer's teacher often hit her students. B: The writer broke the window when he was catching a bird. C: The writer was seriously punished after he admitted his mistake. D: The writer didn't want to admit his mistake at the beginning.
