A
When Josephine Cooper was growing up, she learned the importance of charity from her parents. Although they made a modest living for their family of 10, they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate. Her mother would make chicken soup and tortillas to distribute to people living under bridges.
Half a century later, Mrs. Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank, where she devoted herself to helping others. She organized and ran a distribution center from a church, helping it become the organization’s largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego. She was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited to Washington D.C. to receive the award.
“She was the main person who helped us make that progra m grow,〞 said Mike Doody, former director of the Food Bank. “She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard. She was determined and stubborn, but in a good way. She had a good heart.〞 People knew her as “Grandma〞 because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families.
“She reminded people of their Grandma.〞 Doody said.
As a widow with a young child in 1979, Mrs. Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries. “She dedicated her life to giving back,〞said her daughter, Monica Cooper. “ She loved life, and she loved people. She was very outgoing, caring and very concerned about our community.〞
It wasn’t unusual for a local church to call Mrs. Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family. “She would give people food out of her cupboard. Sometimes we would cook a meal for a fami ly living out of their car,〞 Cooper said. Although Mrs. Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work, she said being able to help others was her reward. “She just gave from her heart,〞 her daughter said.

English families face being limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year. Households throwing away more waste will have to take it to the tip (垃圾站) or buy a limited number of extra bags.
Doretta Cocks, protester of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collections, said, “They must think we are fools. How can they claim to be concerned for the environment when they tell people to drive to the local tip? And what do you do if you don’t have a car? Walk?〞The plan ignores the voice from ministers to end such heavy–handedness (高压手段).
It is to be carried out by the Tory–led council (市政厅) in Workingham, Berkshire, and is already in operation in Brozbourne in Hertfordshire.
Many of the 180 councils that still offer unrestricted weekly rubbish collections are watching the trial.
Workingham officials have told residents that 75–litre bags will be given to each household
and anything not left in them will not be collected.
“Every household will receive 80 bags every year,〞it said. “You can buy extra bags in rolls of ten but this will not be encouraged.〞
Families of five will get 100 rubbish bags a year and households of six or more will get 120.
Residents will have a weekly recycling collection limited to cans, paper and card, plastic bottles and so on.
Plastic packaging and glass including bottles must either go with the general waste or be taken to recycling points. Green waste pick–ups cost an extra ￡60 a year.
The council has told residents it will save ￡922,000 a year under the new system. There will be no local consultation before it is introduced next April.
78．What’s Doretta Cocks’ attitude towards the new plan?
A．Satisfied. B．Curious. C．Angry. D．Interested.
79．How much rubbish is a family of three limited to every year?
A．100 bags of rubbish. B．120 bags of rubbish.
C．6,000 litres of rubbish. D．7,500 litres of rubbish.
80．What does the underlined word “this〞 refer to in the seventh paragraph?
A．Receiving 80 rubbish bags every year.
B．Buying extra bags every year.
C．Driving to city tips.
D．Getting 100 rubbish bags a year.
81．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．English families are limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year
B．English families can’t clear away their rubbish
C．English families are angry with their government
D．English government pays no attention to residents’ interest
D
Many psychologists in the early twentieth century believed that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most people use only a small portion of the grey matter between their ears. It's a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries, magazines, advertisements and books over the past century.
But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded. In fact, they question how this figure was ever arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded. The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would still be able to function normally, while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in extremely serious physical injury.
In addition, most significant disorders of the brain involve only a small and very specific area of the brain. If the 10 percent argument was true, it’s unlikely that so many problems would constantly occur in that area. And if we use only 10 percent of our brains, how would this be measured? Indeed, imaging of the brain in scans shows that all parts of the brain are used for different activities and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes. Throughout the course of one day, most areas of the brain are active at some time, even during sleep. The 10 percent theory suggests that certain areas of the brain are not used, but scans show activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate
part. The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they don't affect other essential areas.
From an evolutionary point of view, it's highly unlikely that our comparatively larger brains would have evolved from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence to support the 10 percent theory.
82. How did the 10 percent theory get such widespread popularity?
A. It was promoted in various types of popular media.
B. Albert Einstein argued strongly in support.
C. It was proven in scientific research.
D. Few people could prove it wrong.
83. Which of the following is true according to the writer?
A. We use less than 10% of our brains.
B. Most brain disorders affect the same part of the brain.
C. The brain is less active during times of sleep.
D. The 10 percent theory does not make evolutionary sense.
84. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People today use more of their brain than in the past.
B. Scientific opinion about the topic of brain use is equally divided.
C. Our understanding of the brain has changed greatly in the past decades.
D. Modern scientists have a complete picture of how the brain works.
85. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To present two sides of brain theory.
B. To criticize the 10 percent theory.
C. To explain how brain works.
D. To describe the history of brain research.
第二节〔共5小题；每题2分，共10分〕
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

For some people charm is a natural gift, but for others being charming is a skill that they need to acquire in order to survive. If you want to charm someone, here are some ways on how to do it.
1. 86 In order to charm someone, you must learn some facts about that person. Determine what his likes and dislikes are. Then try to find the person’s soft spots. In this way, you can easily avoid the things that he doesn’t like and put an effort to show that you are interested in the things he likes. 87
2. 88 Eye contact is one of the best ways to connect to a person. It helps you create an image that you are confident with yourself and show that you are interested in him. By establishing eye contact with the person you want to charm, you are actually starting a conversation with him.
3. Show respect. By showing respect, you are expressing sincerity to that person. Learn how to politely introduce yourself. You don’t want to create an impression that you are overconfident.
A handshake may be the most common way to do it. However, other traditions involve other forms of introductory gestures. 89
4. Always smile. Smiling is one of the basic ways to charm a person. By smiling a lot, you are creating a positive image for the person you wish to charm. Smiling is also a way of showing
that person how glad you are to meet him. Remember to show a sincere and honest smile. 90 Faking a smile can make the person you want to charm think that you are not really interested in meeting him.
A．Establish eye contact．
B．Avoid pretending to smile．
C．Show interest and enthusiasm．
D．Learn something about the person you wish to charm．
E．Try to find out his tradition and follow it accordingly．
F．When the person sees that you have the same interests, you can easily charm him.
G．When you are having a conversation, make him feel that he is in control of the conversation.第四：写作〔共两节，总分值35分〕
