The sky is grey. It’s another day of smog (雾霾). Is there a dome (穹顶) to protect us from the dirty air outside?
Yes, there is! An international school in Beijing has built a big dome outside of its four tennis courts. It cleans the polluted air and makes it healthy for students inside.
Smog has become a serious environmental and health problem in China. People are trying to stay
away from it. However, the dome used by the school is expensive. It’s impossible for everyone to have such a place. But the good news is that the government has begun the fight against pollution.
In a government work report, Premier Li Keqiang said it was a war. The government will start the war by cutting down PM10 and PM2.5 emissions (排放).
PM is short for particulate matter (颗粒物). PM10 and PM2.5 are an important cause of smog, which mainly come from human activities.
To fight against pollution, China will cut the use of coal and make better use of energy. Also, old cars give off more waste gas than new cars. So China plans to remove 6 million old cars from the roads, though much more money is needed.
A clear sky is not a faraway dream.
( )46. An international school in Beijing has built a dome to keep parts of the school away from smog.
( )47. Not everyone can be protected by a dome because living in a dome costs much.
( )48. According to a local work report, the government will make laws to prevent PM10 emissions.
( )49. PM10 and PM2.5 are mainly caused by human activities.
( )50. We can infer (推断) from the report that the problem of smog won’t be solved in the future. 四、阅读下面两篇短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。(共10小题,每小题2分;计20分)

Ireland is strong and rich in music. The Irish people love to sing, to dance and to make music of all kinds. The harp (竖琴) has always been a very important musical instrument in Ireland. During the wars between the Irish and the English, it was like a national flag for the Irish. In the seventeenth century it became more than that. One very famous harpist was O’Carloan. He was born in Westmeath in about 1670. When O’Carloan was about sixteen years old, he became blind. With the help of a kind, rich lady he learned to play the harp. He also wrote poetry and music for the harp. People have saved a lot of his music and many harpists still play O’Carloan’s beautiful songs.
When we hear the word “nocturne”, we usually think of Chopin. Chopin’s nocturnes are famous but the first nocturne came from an Irishman. He was John Field. He was a pupil of the great piano player and teacher, Clementi. He was one of the really great pianists in London. We can’t hear him today because there was no record of music in his time.
Ireland also has its great pop and rock musicians. A very successful rock group is U2. It started in Dublin in 1976. It knows the young people of Ireland and the things that they feel and want. It speaks for young Irish people but it’s famous all over the world. Today there are many Irish musicians. A lot of them are internationally famous, and that is wonderful for a country with only five million people.

We all know that recycling rubbish is very important. But sometimes it is not so convenient when we can’t find a recycling bin anywhere.
Now a team of middle school students from the US has solved that problem by designing (设计) their Recycling Bin app (应用程序).
This app encourages people to recycle. It provides users with a map of local recycling centers. And it allows them to save places as favorites on it. This app also reminds users to recycle.
The group of nine sixth-graders is from STEM Center Middle School. They came up with the idea as part of a school project for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. Their school provided professional app training. It gave 10 teams Samsung tablets (平板) as prizes.
The challenge wanted to develop students’ interest in science, technology and engineering. In this contest, students showed an app design that could solve a problem in their school or city. The nine students came up with the idea for Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling.
“We thought that this would really help a lot of people,” Jaden Hilkemann, 12, told Time For Kids.
They kept their design easy so that anyone could use it. Now the free Recycling Bin app has been put into use in the Google Play app store for Android phones or tablets.
“I was so excited when it went up at the app store,” Seralyn Blake, 12, said. “A lot of my family members downloaded (下载) the app. It was pretty cool.” ( )56. Recycling Bin app is designed by some . ( )54. What can we learn from the passage?

Animals are unlike people. They can’t speak. They are not able to express themselves even if they feel pain and sadness. (1) Now, we can learn from Sophie Smith and be animals’ true friends—a volunteer working for animals.
On Feb 3, 2014, a girl from Massachusetts, the US, said that circuses (马戏团) should no more use hooks (钩子) or chains on elephants. And the government should do something.
(2) They can’t walk freely. And chains bring them great pain. Some people even use hooks when they train elephants. The hooks are sharp and bring elephants much more pain. Circus actors even push a hook into an elephant’s body to move it along during a show. “After some time, the elephant’s skin breaks down. (3) It can’t say no to those cruel people,” Sophie told local newspaper Marblehead Reporter. She also said that it would be bad for children.
(4) Back in 2011, as a sixth-grader, she searched for different animal protection groups online and helped them.
So when she spoke in front of 70 people at the state house, Sophie was not afraid. She was full of courage.

A. Since they cannot talk, I speak for them. B. They just need people’s help. C. That’s why they get them to perform. D. Some elephants are kept in chains. E. Sophie’s love toward animals started a long time ago. F. It feels the pain, but it can’t say anything

The Earth is the only planet that we could live on. We can do a lot to change our lifestyle to help save the Earth. And little changes in what you buy, how you get around and what you use can make a big difference.
Walk or ride a bike to work or school instead of driving. Driving pollutes the air. Driving less saves money and energy. You can also take the bus or train. If you can’t travel by public transportation, consider buying an environmentally friendly (环保的) car.
Eat less meat. Meat-based diets need more land, water and energy to go on. Animals need more space and use more resources (资源) than plants. Factory farming pollutes the area around, and spreads chemicals and waste into nearby rivers or lakes. So meat may be not safe for us to eat.
Buy environmentally friendly products. Do not support companies that pollute the Earth. Buy things in large amounts (数量) to save more gas than buying in small amounts. Buy things with fewer materials for packing to reduce waste. Buying local food can reduce transportation costs.
Reduce your overall energy use. Make your clothes dry outside on a clothes line instead of using the dryer. If you need some fresh air in the room, open the windows instead of using the air conditioner. Take shorter showers and reduce the amount of water in your home.

And try to avoid using plastic bags which are harmful to the environment. In a word, going green is very important. Let’s work together to create a greener world from now on.
