     Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the mountain." Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience(耐力).

     Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that mountain, but my father said to me, "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can't see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life."

     At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal(水晶).

     My name is Kerula. I am 10 years old and I live in Cairo, Egypt. It's the capital of my country and is the largest city in all of Africa. Egypt is very dry and hot. Most of it is covered with desert, so most of our people live near the Nile River.

Near the pyramids there stands the Sphinx(狮身人面像). It used to be facing open desert but now lots of buildings are in Egypt, and it is just facing buildings.

     Nowadays a new lifestyle called low carbon life (低碳生活) is spreading every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are low energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can't wait to express my ideas about it more clearly.

     In the first place, we should have a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. On no-car day, neither students nor teachers are allowed to drive to school. Meanwhile, just walk, jump, cycle or run. Use our legs and enjoy the fun.

     In the second place, we had better not use plastic bags any more. No one can bear the "white pollution". So, it is wise to use bags which can be reused again and again.

     Finally, one thing that we should keep in mind: every big thing comes from the subtle. Therefore, as students, we ought to turn off the lights the moment we leave, turn off the water tap in time, and reuse our textbooks and so on.

     In one word, it is necessary for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into our daily life. Just remember these: no-car day, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let's do it now.

66. What's the meaning of the underlined word "subtle"?

A. New things. B. Fashionable things.

C. Important things. D. Small things.

67. The article is probably written by                 .

A. a reporter B. a citizen C. a student D. a teacher

68. Which of following is not enjoying a low carbon life?

A. Michelle likes keeping tidy and clean, so she always uses things once and then throws them away.

B. Edward goes to work every day on foot so that she can keep fit.

C. Maria always keeps the air-conditioner at 25 degree on hot summer days.

D. Mike keeps his textbooks clean so that his brother who is one year younger than him can use it again.

七、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）

     We sometimes call the lion "the king of the jungle" because it is stronger and more dangerous than other animals. 69.                 It is the highest animal in the land food chain.

     In the sea, the shark is one of the animals at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals. 70.                

     71.                 People are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than cheetahs, so we invented cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than lions, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.

     People's inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people invented factories, and now they make the air and rivers dirty. 72.                 Dirty rivers kill fish. Then bears cannot eat the fish and die. If we kill one part of the food chain, other parts also die. Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! 73.                 We should and we could do something for the world!

     Sometimes people come into your life and you know that they are there to teach you a lesson, or to help you understand who you are or who you want to become.

     You never know these people who may be a classmate, a neighbor or a friend-but when you lock your eyes on them, you know at that very moment they will influence your life in some ways.

     Sometimes things that happen to you may seem unpleasant, painful, or frustrating at first. But in another way, you find that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your ability, strength or will power(意志力).

     The people you meet and the success you get help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.

     If someone loves you, give love back to them in the way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

     If someone hurts you, or breaks your heart, forgive(原谅) them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being careful of people around.

     Self-confidence is necessary to a person. If you're not confident,it will be hard for others to believe in you.

     Learn a lesson in life each day you live!
