A. 阅读下面的材料，根据其内容填空，完成后面的表格。

Anjiazhuang used to be a quiet village. But now, it has turned into a modern town. This is all because of the railway station.
5 years ago, about three hundred people lived in this place. There was a small hill in the east of the village. Around the hill, there were small lakes and farmland. People grew crops for a living. Children go to a small primary school with 3 grades. There were dirt (土) roads connecting (连接) the village to the town about 5 kilometres away.
Now, the hill is no longer there. At the place of the hill, people built the railway station. The government pulled down most of the low houses and built some residential(住宅) buildings for the villagers. Some highways were built, too. And the primary school is no longer there.
Since the railway station was built, more and more factories have appeared. And more and more people have flooded into this area. Now, most villagers make a living by working in the factories. They live a richer life.
But the changes have also brought many problems. Some people can’t get used to living in tall buildings. And more people and more factories bring more pollution. As there are fewer trees, more wild animals have been away from this area.

Ⅶ. One possible version:
Last week, we made a survey on students’ reading habits. We asked 100 students some quest ions. The results make me think a lot.
20% of the students never read books after school. And 40% of them read for less than an hour every week. Half of the students only read magazines or newspapers. They don’t read enough for some reasons. Some say they have to be busy with lessons and others say games and the Internet are more interesting.
In my opinion, reading can open up our eyes. Reading can help us relax as well as learn more about the world and life. We should spend more time reading.。
