阅读理解

    Pisces is the twelfth star sign. There is a legend about its name.

    Long, long ago, there was a war between gods and a bad monster (怪物). It lasted ten years. One day, the gods were surprised to find that the monster was coming towards them. The goat god Pan shouted a warning and tried to change himself into a fish. One god, Aphrodite, took her little boy Eros and tried to hide among the bushes near Euphrates River. She was the god of love and her son was the god of war. It is said that two fish swam to carry Aphrodite and her child to safety. Some people also believe that Aphrodite and Eros changed into fish themselves and swam away to safety. Later the fish represent Aphrodite and her son Eros.

    As they appeared in the sky, the two fish were tied together by a rope (绳子). Some said that Aphrodite tied the little boy to her body so that he would not get lost as they swam away to safety. That's the story about Pisces.

    In Western countries, some people believe people will share similar characteristics if they have the same star sign. So if you're born between February 19th and March 20th, your star sign is Pisces. It means that you are generous, easy-going and creative.

The People's Bank of China came out the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(five ) edition of the RMB from August 30, 2019. The paper money has brighter colors and new safety features.

We've been using paper money for about 1,000 years. Back in the Northern Song Dynasty, Chinese people {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(make) the worlds earliest paper money to replace metal coins. The paper money {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(call) jiaozi at that time. Paper money is cheaper to make and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(easy) to carry. These advantages made it more popular than other {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(form) of money. But now, in the digital(数码) age, paper money seems {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be)disappearing for the same reason. China seems to be heading towards becoming a cashless society. From supermarkets to street stores, people pay by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(use) the We Chat Wallet and Alipay apps on their mobile phones. Sweden is even {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(close ) to a future without paper money than others. Many Swedish banks even no longer have cash on hand.

But there are worries about creating cashless societies. Some say it is unfair to the poor and people without much education. It's not easy for them to open bank accounts or use mobile phones {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( pay). And if all of your money is "digital", it may not be safe enough. Is paper money going away? Although paper money is used less than electronic payment in some countries, it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( not disappear) at once in most parts of the world.

 阅读下面的短文,然后从方框中所给的A~E五个选项中选择正确答案(其中一项是多余选项) ,将其序号填入小题, 并回答问题。

 We all have heard of the global warming. We also know that pollution is a big problem, such as air pollution and water pollution. We know the Earth needs help. There are many small things we can do as persons to make a difference.

 Reuse things. Buying used things is cheaper than buying new ones. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Reuse plastic, glass bottles and cups instead of throwing them into the dustbin(垃圾桶).

 Avoid taking cars when possible. Don't ask your parents to drive you somewhere when you can easily walk or ride your bike there. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} On the other hand, getting more exercise will be good for your body, too.

 Recycle paper. Newspaper, old magazines and draft paper(草稿纸) can be recycled.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} It means that recycling just half of the world's paper will save about twenty million acres(英亩) of forests! Forest products are used in our daily lives. They not only help make our lives more convenient, but also make our Earth more beautiful and comfortable.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. Shut off lights, radios, TVs, computers and other electrical things when you leave the room. When you finish using your computer at night, shut it down. This uses less electricity than letting it"sleep".

 What we do today affects(影响) the Earth and future generations. Let's take actions now to save the earth!

A. Save energy.
