I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all, and what’s more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person, I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.
About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.

Devra Davis was an American epidemiologist(流行病学家) and writer. In When Smoke Ran Like Water, Devra Davis takes the reader from killer smoke to the serious problems of the present including breast cancer and climate change. Davis has been devoted to decreasing illness and loss of life from environmental pollution for decades. She is determined not to let figures and numbers hide the people whose lives are in danger.
One of the things that makes When Smoke Ran Like Water, her book on the battle against pollution, so powerful is that she hasn’t just only studied the statistics, but she’s lived them. As a child in the Monongahela River town, she survived the 1948 smog(烟雾) pollution that was reported to have killed 20 people. She writes, “The fifty people who died in the month following the smog are nowhere counted. The thousands who died over the following decade are nowhere counted. And there is no counting of the thousands called the non-killed —all those who went on to suffer in various poorly understood ways.”
For Davis, counting counts. She focuses on epidemiology, the science which is rooted in numbers. Her book is a series of related stories, which uses a convincing method to support her conclusions. For anyone interested in the future of human health, When Smoke Ran Like Water also provides a valuable basis for understanding and action.
33.We can learn from the text that Davis cares most about ________.
A. the measures taken by governments to fight environmental pollution
B. the permanent damage to health caused by environmental pollution
C. the number of people died in environmental pollution
D. the environmental pollution caused by the smog in 1948
34. The author thinks that When Smoke Ran Like Water is a powerful book because .
A. Davis was an expert in the study of pollution
B. Davis used real numbers to study pollution
C. Davis was good at writing interesting stories
D. Davis put her real-life experiences into the book
35. What kind of method is used by Davis to support her conclusion?
A. The reasoning method.
B. The storytelling method.
C. The statistic method.
D. The experiment method.
第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

About 2 months ago I realized how often my mother's caregiver(看护者)would do kind things for me. 36 She always does things which touch me so mush, like picking oranges and juicing them, making my bed for me when my muscles are so tight I can’t bend over easily, clearing the leaves and weeding the front yard... those kinds of things.
37 But I decided to help her, since she is paid a set wage by the agency we went through, and has a large family to raise.
I would put a dollar in a decorative box every time I see one of those kinds of things that she has done for me.
I have already changed out 20 single dollar bills for a $20 bill TWICE and have probably about $70 in there. 38 When the time comes (and it will, probably this year) when we can no longer afford a caregiver for my mother, I will have a box of money that will say thank you in a clear way.
39 She is our own precious angel. And while I know she does these things out of kindness and love for us, it will be my chance to do something out of love and kindness for her. Because it is just a dollar every now and then, it is hardly missed. But in 6 months, or however long it is before the money runs out, it will have grown to quite a bundle of love.
I don’t want the day to come when she will no longer be with us. The reason is that I will miss her presence terribly. 40 A．However, I can hardly wait to give box of money to her!
B．Not just little things, but only things.
C．It is just like all the bundles of things she has done for me.
D．We’ve had her for 2.5 years, and she's like family to us.
E．I always thank her, and she says she enjoys it.
F．That’s my own “thank you for your many kindnesses” box.
G．It hopefully will help to tide her over until she gets a new
job.

Although all the students seem very happily at our school, as far as we are concerning, the buildings would be more beautiful if the school could be decorated. We students thought the school looks like a desert and the concrete walls like the grey sky in a rainy day. We could be much happier and are able to study better if the walls of the school could be decorated with posters, photos and paintings, that could certainly broaden our horizons and enrich our lives. Original art works are too expensive, but unless we buy art posters, the cost will be low. Using only little money, it can make our school a nicer place.

Hi, Sharon,
This is Li Xia. I learned from your post that you want to improve your Mandarin. I am quite interested in it. I am Chinese, which means Mandarin is a must for me to communicate with others in my daily life. So I’m quite confident that I can help you learn Mandarin.
Learning Mandarin takes time, so if you want to learn it well, you should spend much time practicing Mandarin every day. Besides, you can also read some books in Chinese, see some Chinese films and listen to some Chinese radio programmes. Speaking and listening are very important for a language learning, by which you are sure to make great progress.
In your post, you say you can teach English as a reward. It is just what I want. We can contact each other by video chat every night for half an hour in English and half an hour in Chinese, so that we can improve our oral speaking.
Looking forward to your early reply!
Li Xia。
