Some of you may play Ant Forest. It is a game on Alipay. Users collect “energy” to make their “trees” grow. When the “energy” reaches a certain (某种) level, some organizations will plant a real tree in a desert area of China. To users, it’s an easy work, but it’s extremely (极其地) difficult to plant trees in deserts. However, there are some heroes in the deserts. They have been working hard on controlling the deserts. Bai Chunlan is one of them.
Bai Chunlan is a common farmer, born in 1953. She married when she was 18 years old. She lived in a village. The village was so poor and short of water. One day in 1980, the villagers decided to plant trees to control the desert with ten other families. Early in the morning, they went into the desert to plant trees. At noon, strong sun seemed to burn everything. They didn’t have time to think about themselves, because those young trees needed protection. The next spring, a heavy sandstorm destroyed all the trees. In 1997, her husband (丈夫) died from hard work. Her eldest son died of cancer in 2008. But Bai wasn’t disheartened (灰心丧气).

I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in the town of Italy.
As we enjoyed our coffee, a man entered and sat down beside us. He called the waiter over, saying, “Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall.”
We heard his order with interest and saw that he was served with one cup of coffee, but he paid for two.
When he left, the waiter put a piece of paper on the wall, saying “A cup of coffee.”
While we were still there, two other men entered and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two but paid for three. This time also, which made us feel so curious about what was going on there.
After a few days, we had a chance to enter this coffee shop again. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man who appeared homeless entered. He looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the wall.”
The waiter served a cup of coffee to this man with respect（尊敬）. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all of this as the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it into the bin.
Now it was no surprise for us—the matter was very clear. The people of this town showed great respect for those who needed help.
Just think about what this man wanted. He didn’t have to lose his face to ask for a free cup of coffee. Without asking or knowing who was giving him this cup of coffee, he only looked at the wall, put an order, enjoyed his coffee and left.
It’s a truly beautiful thing—probably the most beautiful wall anywhere in the world.
31．How many cups of coffee did the first man order ________
A．None. B．One.
C．Two. D．Three.

B．He threw a piece of paper from the wall.
C．He was amazed to watch the homeless person.
D．He asked the homeless person to pay for the coffee.
33．What does the word underlined “curious” mean in Paragraph 5 ________
A．兴奋的 B．恼火的 C．好奇的 D．无聊的
34．Why did people in the shop order more than one cup of coffee needed ________
A．Because they were so rich people.
B．Because they ordered for the waiter.
C．Because they ordered for themselves next time.
D．Because they wanted to leave it to those who needed help.
35．What’s the best title for the text ________
A．The Person without Home
B．The Coffee from the Wall
C．The Waiter in the Coffee Shop
D．The People in the Town

All over the world in the twenty-first century, people can get new energy in many ways.
Energy from the wind. People use the power of the wind. 36 However, if the wind does not blow, there is no wind energy.
37 When water moves from a high place to a lower place, it has the power to make electricity. Waterpower produces enough energy for 40,000 people in a town. 38 However, people have to build dams (大坝) to use this energy, and building dams is very expensive.
Energy from the earth. There is heat in the rocks under the earth. Scientists use the heat to make geothermal (地热的) energy. 39 This kind of energy is cheap, but it is only possible in a few places in the world.
Energy from the sun. Solar panels (太阳能电池板) on the roofs of houses and buildings can turn energy from the sun into electricity. 40 Solar power is clean and plentiful, but when the weather is bad, it can’t produce power.
