Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Smoking in indoor public places including public working place, public transportation vehicles and some other special outdoor working spaces has been banned in China since January 2011. Should smoking be banned in public places? Of course, it should be. First, banning smoking in public places will not only help in saving smokers from various kinds of heath conditions and diseases, but will also be beneficial for passive smokers.Second, banning smoking in public places will put pressure on smokers to quit. Since a smoker is forbidden from smoking in public places, he will learn how to live without smoking a cigarette for long hours. Moreover, when a smoker doesn’t see anybody around him smoking or smelling of cigarette, it might reduce his urge to smoke too. Thus, people have to quit smoking as a result of smoking ban.Smoking in public places influences non­smokers to take up smoking, especially adolescents. Since teens are in an impressionable age, when they see people around them smoking, they get encouraged to try it and then it becomes a habit, increasing the incidence of teen smoking. Moreover, asthma(哮喘) and ear infections are commonly seen in children who live around smokers, so if it’s banned in public places, these places will become safe for children and teens, healthwise.Looking from the economic point of view, since smoking is a major contributing factor to many diseases, it leads to absence from work. Moreover, employees who smoke tend to take breaks now and then to smoke, thus cutting back on their working hours. So, if employers want to increase work productivity and want to make sure that their employees remain healthy, they should ban and stop smoking in and around offices.At last, smoking cigarettes adds to the pollution of the air, so if it is banned, it will help in saving the environment from further deterioration(恶化)．81.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.A professor of environmental health and his students began studying the ideaof rooftop gardening for cities. “I think vertical farming is an idea that can work in a big way,” said Despommier.Why would we want t o build skyscrapers filled with vegetables when we’ve beenfarming on the ground for 10,000 years? Because as the world’s population grows — from 6.8 billion now to as much as 9 billion by 2050 — we could run out of productive soil and water. Most of the population growth will occur in cities that can’t easily feed themselves. And the fact that modern agriculture and everything associated with it — chemical fertilizers and transportation full of carbon — is a significant contributor to climate change, and s uddenly vertical farming doesn’t seem so magic one in the sky.“Vertical farming could allow food to be grown locally and sustainably,” saysGlen Kertz, CEO of Valcent. The result saves space — vital in urban areas--- and allows farmers to irrigate and fertilize with far less waste.At Valcent’s El Paso lab, crops grow in rows on conveyor belts. Moving themgives the plants the precise amount of light and nutrients needed, letting them grow 15 times as much vegetable as on a normal farm with 5% of the water that traditional agriculture does.Dedspommier plans to build a 30-story, city-block-size vertical farm that wouldhave transparent walls to maximize sunlight and would produce enough food for 50,000 people. But it would cost hundreds of millions to build a full-scale skyscraper farm. That’s the main drawback: construction and energy costs would probably make vertically raised food more costly than traditional crops.Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage.

Write your answers on your answer sheet.Scientists have determinedit's not advisable to hurry to marry. But what's the best age to wed?When Avril Lavigne announced she was splitting from her husbandof three years.Comments from her friends suggested that she was only21 when she tied the knot and later she said that she realized sh e’d been to young to make such a life altering decision. Could fellow young celebrity divorcees (离婚者）Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, and Britney Spears have also hit the same age-related issue?The Magic NumberThere are practical reasons for the mid-20s dividing line, and most of them boildown to two biggies: education and money.It turns out that the more years of higher education a woman has under her belt on her wedding day, the lower the chances that she’ll get divorced … and by 25, you’re more likely to have earned a degree or two. Educated women tend to be more confident about w ho they are and less willing to settle for a man who doesn’t meet their standards.Odds(可能性) are that by 25 you’re also supporting yourself, so there’s lessincentive(刺激； 鼓励)for you to rush into marriage because you’re seeking financial security from him. But the marriage­related benefits of working and havingmoney of your own go beyond feeling secure. Learning to budget your cash carefully when you’re single will help you avoid financial problems—one of the main causes of couple fights—for the rest of your life.Knowing the Real YouAt 25, you’ve had time for some crucial life experien ces, including a relationship or two that may have improved your Mr. Right. You’ve probably dated enough to have a better idea of what you don’t want in a man, which makes it easier to know what you can live with and can’t live without.Perhaps the most im portant aspect of waiting is that you’ll know what your goals and values really are. While you don’t want to marry someone just like you, marriage is a lot easier if you two share a similar outlook on life.Twenty­four and already married to the man of your dreams? Don’t worry: Many young marriages survive. But given the choice, you might consider putting off the big day until your mid­20s or later.81. What main factors influence the mid­20s dividing line?

To begin with, extensive studies show that blood plays a vital role in medical operation. In donating our blood we are actually saving the precious lives of the sick. Next, being a healthy person, losing 200ml of blood is only a small sacrifice and helps to improve our metabolism(新陈代谢). Finally, donating blood helps us in forming good character and developing our sense of social responsibility. Blood donation isn't a complicated issue, but we need to keep a few instructions in mind.First, don't go for blood donation with an empty stomach. We can eat anything and after having a right diet we'll feel strong and comfortable to donate blood. For the required hemoglobin (血色素) in the body, we can drink lots of fruit juice. For a good blood flow in the body, let's drink at least 6-7 glasses of water daily.Completely avoid taking alcohol or caffeine a day before and after donating our blood. We shouldn't smoke half an hour before making blood donation.When we’re going for blood donation, first tell the nurse to check our hemoglobin level. During the injection we need to take a deep breath and try to calm ourselves down . During blood donation, keep ourselves cool and calm.Blood donation is a very fast process, but we need to take care of ourselves after blood donation. For example, take a rest for 15 minutes after the donation. Eat something and drink juice leaving the blood donation centre. Make sure not to skip meals after blood donation .Smoking should be avoided up to one hour after blood donation.At last be proud of ourselves that we've done a great task in making an attempt of saving someone's life. Blood donation is a social responsibility for every citizen, especially for us, young students. We should do it voluntarily not because it does us no harm but because it is a noble thing to do and it helps others a great deal.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Many of the problems facing today’s world aren’t news to us. The environment is in dire need of help because it’s being damaged, hunger is widespread throughoutthe world, and workers in third world countries are continuously being exploited. Therefore, individuals across the globe need to band(团结) together for a cause and use their collective efforts to make all the difference in the world.For instance, one person recycling a can or a bottle doesn’t seem like much. But if every household in a given city were to recycle and conserve energy, that city could make a huge positive impact on environmental damage. Similarly, there are countless ways to help fight world hunger—whether it’s to donate money to a dedicated worldwide charity, donate canned goods to your local charity, or even make lifestyle changes like going vegetarian. World hunger is a massive problem—but it doesn’t mean individuals themselves can’t make a difference.Worker exploitation is another huge problem. All across the world—particularly in third world countries—workers are forced to labor long hours, with close to no pay. Yet these workers continue to show up to such a way of life, because they have no other options.So, how can people like us help fight such a big problem? Simply raising awareness of the products you buy in stores—from clothing to food—is a massive start. For example, if you see two similar products side by side in a food shop, but one of them is labeled “fair trade”，you’ll know immediately that the w orkers who labored to produce that product were given a fair price for their goods. And true, fair trade products might cost a little bit more, but buying them is a significant start to help fight worker exploitation.In short, each of us should be socially conscious to make a difference to widespread social problems.81.What problems facing today’s world are mentioned in the first paragraph？(No more than 8 words)82. What should be done to fight world hunger? (No more than 15 words)83. How is the product which is labeled “fair trade” different from other products? (No more than 13 words)84.

Write your answers on your answer sheet.Bicycle rental companies in Beijing are going broke, because nobody wants to hire their services. Major rental operators have invested about 100 million yuan （$14.7 million） in almost 20,000 bicycles but are now struggling to survive.A spokesman from the Bird of Freedom Bicycle Rental said the company has already sold most of the 400 bicycles. “Th is is a difficult business, especially when it is cold. The cold weather almost killed the business,” he said.Bigger rental companies are also facing challenges. Beijing Bicycle Rental Co Ltd, which owns 8,000 bicycles, has invested more than 30 million yuan over the past year. Wang Yong, chairman of the group, said his company had not made a profit since it began in 2005.Almost all bicycle rental companies in Beijing require deposits of 300 to 400 yuan and then customers need to pay 10 yuan or more per h our. “I don’t want to pay 400 yuan to rent a bike. It’s too dear,” said Zhang Yu, a student in Communication University of China, who does not own a bike and often takes motorized rickshaws. “If renting for one day will cost 20 yuan and I rent a bike for f ive days, I can use the money to buy a new one."Although facing economic ruin, some enterprises are still hoping that conditions will improve.BikeMedia, one of the biggest bicycle rental companies in China, also investedtens of millions yuan in Beijing and has more than 10,000 bicycles. Li Weiwei, general manager of BikeMedia Beijing, said his company has a policy of no deposit and no payment. He said the company tried to put advertisements on the bicycles and in this way, they could make profits. But they had not made a profit yet because of its small scale. However, customers must pay 20 yuan per card and also show proof of good personal credit.In early July, the Beijing municipal government announced plans to develop a 50,000-bicycle rental operation across the city. “The bigger network we have, the more citizens will rent bikes,” Li said. “This will make rental easier to citizens and we strongly need help from the government.”81.In which season is the bicycle rental business the most difficult in Beijing?

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.D. R. Gaul Middle School is in Union, Maine, a blueberry-farming town where the summer fair finds kids competing in pig scrambles and pie-eating contests. Gaul, with about 170 seventh- and eighth-graders, has its own history of lower level academic achievement. One likely reason: Education beyond the basic requirements hasn’t always been a top priority for families who’ve worked the same land for generations. Here, few adults have college degrees, and outsiders (teachers included) are often kept at a respectful distance.Since 2002, Gaul’s students have been divided into four classes, each of them taught almost every subject by two teachers. The goal: To find common threads across disciplines to help students create a big picture that gives fresh meaning and context to their classwork -- and sparks motivation for learning.Working within state guidelines, each team makes its individual schedules and lesson plans, incorporating non-textbook literature, hands-on lab work and field trips. If students are covering the Civil War in social studies, they’re readingThe Red Badge of Courage or some other period literature in English class. In science, they study the viruses and bacteria that caused many deaths in the war.Team teaching isn’t unusual. About 77 percent of middle schools now employ some form of it, says John Lounsbury, consulting editor for the National Middle School Association. But most schools use four- or five-person teams, which Gaul tried before considering two-person teams more effective. Gaul supports the team concept by "looping" classes (跟班) so that the same two teachers stick with the same teens through seventh and eighth grades. Combining teams and looping creates an extremely strong bond between teacher and student. It also, says teacher Beth Ahlholm, "allows us to build an excellent relationship with parents."Ahlholm and teammate Madelon Kelly are fully aware how many glazed looks they see in the classroom, but they know 72 percent of their eighth-graders met Maine’s reading standard last year -- double the statewide average. Only 31 percent met the math standard, still better than the state average (21 percent). Their students also beat the state average in writing and science. And in2006, Gaul was one of 47 schools in the state to see testing gains of at least 20 percent in four of the previous five years, coinciding roughly with team teaching’s arrival.Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.
