Last week I take part in a farm work programme with my classmates in the suburbs. Before the activity, our teacher told us some specific arrangements about the activity which theme was “Labor is the most glorious thing”. Meanwhile, he stressed on the importance and value of working by our own hand. When I got home, I packed up for trip excitedly. On the farm, we helped picking watermelons and carried them to the truck. While worked, I realized how tougher it was to work in the fields in the burning sun. When I came back home, I shared your experience with my parents during dinner. Happy and proud ，they spoke high of my behavior.

TOEFL is the most widely used language assessment exam for American universities. There are two major versions of the TOEFL test. The first is the iBT, or Internet-based Test. It is offered in most of the world and accepted by nearly every university and scholarship program in the United States. The other is called the Paper-based Test or PBT.1.
Here are some tips for getting started with TOERL:
Plan ahead —2.Do not expect a big lift in your test results in two weeks. There is no easy way to improve your score quickly. You will have to spend a lot of time and energy.
Master the basics first —3..If you score below 500 on the PBT or 70 on the iBT, study the fundamentals for a few months and come back to the TOEFL later.
Get a study guide It is easy to find study guides for the iBT. 4. The best study guides will have explanations in the answer key. PBT study guides are difficult to find because the test is being phased out.
5.— Remember, you are learning a language, not a test. You can improve your TOEFL part of your daily life. Some simple ways are listening to podcasts, watching movies, reading newspapers, sending and reading text messages in English, and writing online comments in English.
A.Know English well.
B.Use various resources.
C.It is still used in some developing countries.
D.Raising your score will take months of intensive work.
E.If you have a choice, take the iBT if it is not too pricey.
F.Pearson, Barron’s，ETS, and Kaplan all produce quality materials.
G.You should have at least an upper- intermediate English level before you attempt the test.
An increasing part of the world is becoming artificially lit. Artificial light is often seen as a sign of progress: the march of civilization shines a light in the dark; it takes back the night. But some scientists argue that unnaturally bright nights are bad not just for astronomers but also for nocturnal (夜间的) animals and even for human health.
Now research shows the night is getting even brighter. From 2012 to 2016 the earth’s artificially lit area expanded by about 2.2 percent a year, according to a study published last November in Science Advances. However, the measurement does not include light from most of the energy–efficient LED lamps that have been replacing sodium-vapor (钠气灯) technology in cities all over the world ,says Christopher Kyba, a postdoctoral researcher at the German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam.
The new data came from a NASA satellite instrument called the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIRS). It can measure long wavelengths of light, such as those produced by traditional yellow-and-orange sodium-vapor street lamps. But VIIRS cannot see the short-wavelength blue light produced by white LEDs. This light has been shown to disturb human sleep cycles and nocturnal animals’ behavior.
The team believes the ongoing switch to LEDs caused already bright countries such as Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the U.S. to register as having stable levels of lighting in the VIIRS data. In contrast, most nations in South America, Africa and Asia brightened, suggesting increases in the use of traditional lighting.
In 2016, a study showed that one third of the world’s population currently lives under skies too bright to see the Milky Way at night. Between 2012 and 2016 the median nation pumped out 15 percent more long-wavelength light as its GDP increased by 13 percent. Overall, counties' total light production correlated with their GDP.
1.Which of the following can best describe artificial light?
A.Convenient but unnatural. B.Useful but energy-consuming.
C.Progressive but uncomfortable. D.Civilized but harmful.
2.What can we know about the already bright countries?
A.Traditional lighting is not used in those countries.
B.LED lights are increasingly used in those countries.
C.Efforts to reduce harmful light work in those countries.
D.People do enjoy stable lighting in those countries.
3.Why does the author mention “the median nation” in the last paragraph?
A.To show artificial light has an association with GDP.
B.To demonstrate GDP plays an important part in the median nation.
C.To stress the median nation was to blame for the light problem.
D.To suggest artificial light should be banned in the future.
4.Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A.A biology textbook. B.A book review.
C.A science magazine. D.A science fiction.
I. M. Pei, one of the best-known architects of the 20th century, has died. He was 102. Born in China, Ieoh Ming Pei moved to the United States in 1935 to study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University.
Pei’s works around the world include museums, government buildings, hotels, schools and other structures built with stone, steel and glass. One of his best-known and most disputed works was built 30 years ago. Pei created a new entrance for the world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris. Pei first spent four months studying the museum and French history. He then drew plans for a 21-meter-tall steel and glass id, with three smaller pyramids nearby. It was a very futuristic style of work for the 12th-century building.
A French newspaper criticized Pei’s pyramids as “an annex to Disneyland”. An environmental group said they belonged in a desert. Others accused Pei of ruining one of the world’s greatest landmarks.
Pei said the Louvre was the most difficult job of his career. He argued that he had wanted to create a modern space that would not take away from the traditional part of the museum. He said the glass pyramids were based on the works of French landscape architect Le Notre. They honored French history.
The pyramids opened in the spring of 1989. Over the years that followed, the structure came to be loved by most, if not all, of its critics.
Other well-known Pei buildings include the John F. Kennedy Library in Dorchester, Massachusetts, the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the Dallas City Hall in Texas. Pei officially retired in 1990. However, he continued to work on projects—including museums in Luxembourg, Qatar and his ancestral home of Suzhou.
1.What is true about the entrance created by Pei for the Louvre Museum?
A.Pei spent four mouths drawing plans for it. B.There are four pyramids in total.
C.It’s in a style of the 12th century. D.It took 30 years to complete the work.
2.What can we infer from Pei’s words in Paragraph 4?
A.The glass pyramids were originally designed by Le Notre.
B.The glass pyramids were based on the French landscape.
C.The glass pyramids were in harmony with the Louvre.
D.The glass pyramids reflected both French and Chinese style.
3.What were most people’s attitudes towards Pei’s pyramids years after its opening?
A.Indifferent. B.Puzzled.
C.Critical. D.Favorable.
4.What do we know about Pei according to the passage?
A.He was hardworking, optimistic and easygoing.
B.He spread Chinese traditional architecture to the world.
C.He created many great works both in China and other countries.
D.He was the most outstanding architect of the 20th century.
