When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill. Even though we worked so hard, the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about the difficulties we faced, and later, canals and other projects began to be built in my village, “Who are they ” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards, I moved to another city for my junior high school. The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day, my family and I made time to return. We were surprised because everything had changed. The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill anymore. The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it. When we arrived home, my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples. She told us that after the water conservation project (水利工程) was completed, a policy (政策) was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.
Nowadays, people work hard to live in a big city. However, we should not forget our hometowns where we are from.

A．They had too much work. B．It was not convenient to go up the hill.
C．They could only grow fruit trees. D．There wasn’t enough water in the orchard.

Later in the summer, Tom decided to go digging for buried (埋藏) treasure. He found Huck and told him all about the places that robbers hid their treasure and a treasure map.
One day, they decided they would start digging under a dead tree near the haunted house. They talked about what they would do with their treasure. Huck said he would spend his so his father couldn’t get any of it. They dug for a while, and then gave up and tried another place. There’s no treasure there, either. Tom realized they should return at midnight to dig again. As a result, the boys failed to find treasure that night. Finally they both agreed that the next day they would dig in the haunted house, and Huck believed they were taking chances to get treasure if they did.
They met again with their tools and went to the haunted house. They explored the downstairs, as they got ready to leave, they heard two men coming to the door of the house. Scared, the boys hid themselves upstairs to see who they were. They recognized one man. It was Injun Joe! The unknown man was saying something dangerous. Tom and Huck were scared to death, so they stayed quiet. The men were talking about some “work” that the unknown man believed to be too dangerous. Tom and Huck couldn’t believe they were watching real robbers bury treasure! It included thousands of dollars in gold and treasure.
The men wanted to bury all their treasure again when Injun Joe started wondering why there were some tools in the house. Surely someone was there, he decided to hide the money somewhere else. He then started looking around the house for the owners of the tools. He was almost up the stairs when the bad wood broke and he fell down. Then the boys walked home quickly.

Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut. The possibility of which has just got a bit closer.
However, unlike the plot of one film—which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientist’s bloodstream—this device could not be inserted into blood vessels(管) because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daiela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.
To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3, 500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus(食道) and stomach made out of silicone(硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine (肠), and contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10 mm×27 mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery bum to speed up healing.
The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to succeed.
42．According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to ________.
A．travel through a scientist’s bloodstream
B．photograph the body to convey to the doctor
C．enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairs
D．operate on a person outside the body completely
43．We learn from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A．the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal
B．the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnet
C．digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for children
D．the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice
44．What may the experiment mean to the medical world
A．The surgeries will cost patients much money.
B．Patients will suffer less for some surgeries.
C．Fewer children will swallow the button cells.
D．A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.
45．Which can be the most suitable title for the passage
A．An Experiment on Robot
B．Tiny Robot, Significant Role
C．The Fantastic Robotic Voyage
D．The Exploration of Robot Technology

The cub suddenly found himself near a Native American camp. A man saw him and came toward him. The cub was too afraid to move. The man bent down and stroked the cub. This made the cub angry and he bit the man. The man hit him very hard, and the cub cried out loud.
The she-wolf heard her cub’s cry and ran to the camp to help him. Immediately, one of the men saw her and recognized her. He shouted “Kiche!” at her. This was her name, and she remembered it. She sat down and waited to be told what to do. The man said, “This animal was my brother’s pet. When he died, she ran away. Her father was a wolf, but her mother was a dog. He walked up to Kiche and stroked her. She was pleased. She seemed to remember the man. They fed her and put a rope around her neck. She was used to being tied up.
“He has very white fangs,” looking at the cub, the man said to the other men, “We’ll call him White Fang. We’ll take him and his mother with us.”
When the dogs saw Kiche and White Fang, they ran at them. Then the dogs started to fight. The men shouted at the dogs, but they would not stop. They had to hit them with sticks and throw stones at them. At last, they drove the dogs away from Kiche and White Fang. The man checked Kiche carefully. “She has many bites,” he told his friends, “and so does the cub, but they will be all right. The dogs will soon accept them.”
Later that day, some men began putting small branches and leaves into a pile. White Fang saw something like mist coming from the sticks, and then, something bright like the sun appeared. White Fang went up to smell it and he put his nose into it. The pain was very bad. He ran away from it to Kiche. She knew what had happened and licked the burns. White Fang learned that men could make this bright thing that hurt so much. He believed that they were Gods.

Special memories of my junior high school
Looking back on the past three years, I have many special memories of my junior high school.
First, I remember the most meaningful experience is to take part in a voluntary project. The purpose of the project was to raise something necessary for children in poor areas, such as warm clothes, stationery and so on. On that day, I gave out leaflets to call on more people to care about poor children so that they could have a brighter future. It is the meaningful experience that gave me a strong sense of achievement.
What’s more, the most educational class that I will never forget is an English class. In that class, I was encouraged to find out the themes of the book A Christmas Carol. As a result, I learned about the importance of kindness and being generous.
Last but not least, I want to talk about my best friend in my junior high school. She is so confident that she is willing to take on any challenge. Besides, it is nice of her to give me confidence and encourage me to keep trying whenever I meet difficulties. Our friendship makes my school life more colorful.
I will value my special memories of my junior high school forever.
