Since the introduction of the new “double reduction (双减)”education policy, the school has been reducing students’ homework and after-school tutoring (培训) pressure (压力).Now, Wang Maida journalist, is interviewing some students about the policy.
The “double reduction” policy really helps me. Our homework is clearly less than before. I can finish it at school so that I don’t have to take it home. I can now review or preview school work when I’m home. We don’t need to buy workbooks anymore and the exercises are mainly from the textbook. I’m also happy to find that there are fewer exams. ——Shen Yuzhe,13,Beijing
The best thing about the “double reduction” is that we have more time to do after-school activities such as dancing, volleyball and so on. I have joined a group called “leadership development”. I can learn all kinds of useful skills there. Teachers are also giving us more chances to learn from real life. For example, during a biology (生物) class we learned about earthworms, common long worms that live in soil. ——Zhang Hangming,13,Tianjin
I have got more time to read books and play sports after school. The art subjects are becoming more important. For example, I have been learning music for a long time. Now I feel more encouraged to do so. However, we can no longer see the rankings (排名) after each exam. There is no doubt that I feel less pressure without knowing them. But at the same time, I don’t know what level I am at. ——Cui Ruqi,12,Liaoning
( ) 51.According to the text, the new “double reduction” education policy ________.
A. helps students to do more exercises

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have bad meanings.
The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. When we are in “hot water”，we are in trouble.
“To be in deep water” is almost the same as “to be in hot water”. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in the house with dirty shoes.
“To keep your head above water” is an expression that means staying out of debt (债务).A company tries to keep its head above water during hard economic (经济的) times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.
“Water over the dam (坝)”is an expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed.
Another common expression, “to hold water”，is about the strength (长处) or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing (争论) about. If your ideas can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and not worth arguing.
“Throwing cold water” is also an expression that deals with ideas. It means not liking an idea. For example, you want to buy a new car. But your wife “throws cold water” on the idea because she says a new car costs too much.
( ) 56.Which of the following expressions has the same meaning as “to be in hot water”？
A. “To be in deep water”.

Spring has arrived in the UK but some parts of the world still seem like winter woodlands. Snow forests make up about 30% of the world’s total forest areas. These wonderful woodlands are not very famous, but they are still important. Snow forests are found in the far north of the world in areas that are quite cold and usually have a lot of snowfall (降雪).They lie across parts of Canada, China, Finland, Japan, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the US. Snow forests stretch for thousands of miles and cover about 17% of the earth’s total land area.
②Snow forests have very cold winters that can last up to six months, but even so, they are the habitat for all sorts of animals. Animals that live in the snow forests include (包括) foxes, hares (野兔),mice and wolves (狼).In the US and Canada, as many as five billion birds of more than 300 kinds live in the forests in the breeding (繁殖) season. These huge woodlands also perform a very important job: helping to take in carbon-based gases, which can cause climate change.
③However, snow forests are facing several threats (威胁).Trees are being cut down faster and faster for their wood which can be used for building. Some forests are being cleared to make space for new roads and houses. This threatens the homes of wildlife. As the world gets warmer and the weather changes, the risk of fires in snow forests threatens huge areas. In recent years, Canada and Russia have seen very serious fires spread through the forests.
④Luckily, environmental and wildlife groups around the world are working hard to make snow forests protected areas. This means that cutting down trees is controlled in some areas and the forests are seen as areas of special scientific value.
( ) 61.What percent of the world’s forest areas are covered by snow forests

C. About 70 percent. D. About 83 percent.

How to Live a Low-Carbon Life
Dear classmates，
As we all know, our country calls for us to live a low-carbon life.
It can both help us save energy and improve our environment. As students, we are able to
start with many small things around us to make it in our daily life. For example, we can turn off the computers and the lights when leaving a room. We can walk there or ride our bikes instead of
taking a bus or taxi if we travel a short distance. We should use both sides of paper at home or in
the office, which helps us save a lot of trees.
In a word, life in the future will be brighter and more beautiful if everyone can do a little. Let’s take action to work for it and enjoy the life with peace.
