China’s ban on free plastic bags drew a mixed response from some shoppers and storeowners on Monday although some supermarkets across the country reported a 90 percent drop in bags consumed（消费），Under China’s new antiplastic bag laws, bags under 0.025 millimeters thick are banned and shopkeepers must charge for carrier bags. Those found breaking the law face fines.
Ultra—thin（超薄）bags are the main target of the ban because they are typically used once and then thrown away, creating “white pollution”. China consumes 37 million barrels of oil each year to produce more than one trillion plastic bags. It is following in the footsteps of countries such as Ireland and Bangladesh to introduce a ban.
“The problem is that a lot of people don’t plan their supermarket trips beforehand, so they do
not remember to bring bags from home,” said a supermarket cashier in Beijing. Supermarkets and large department stores across China have carried out the ban fairly well. Many have handed out carrier bags made of recycled cloth to customers.
But the ban was largely ignored or unheard of among small—time wet market vendors（小贩）, who said charging for the plastic bags would turn away many customers. “My tofu is only worth 50 cents a piece. It will be very hard to sell if I have to charge 20 cents for the plastic bag,”said a vendor. But according to an expert, this situation won’t last long.
41. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. White Pollution: A Global Problem
B. Plastic Bags Consumed Dropped 90 Percent

C. Wet market vendors.
D. Department store owners.
44. We know from the passage that _______________________.

BEIJING (Reuters)——Some Beijing motorists are flushed with anger over new license plate numbers that contain the letter bination “WC”, saying it gives them “unpleasant images.” Along with “OK,”“hello” and “bye—bye,” the abbreviation for the Victorian “Water Closet,” or toilet, has bee one of the most well—known English expressions in China.
Despite being on a jargon hitlist of Olympic organizers, who plan to replace the “WC” with the more bog—standard “toilet,”it remains all—too—vivid for some of the 800 Beijing car owners issued with the initials on their license plates.
“I will not make myself a laughing stock among my friends by adding such a weird abbreviation to my new car,”Xinhua quoted car owner Zhang as saying. Authorities, however, were not sympathetic.
“We will not change our policy,” a policeman in charge of issuing license plates said.
English initials on car—plates have previously proved to be problematic in China, where homonyms（同音异义）and abbreviations occasionally have unexpected associations in Mandarin （普通话）.
In Xinyang, Henan Province, “SB” was struck from license plates as the initials are regularly used in Internet chat rooms to denote Mandarin’s arguably most vulgar profanity（亵渎、咒骂），Xinhua said.
Traffic authorities in Haikou, capital of China’s palm—fringed province of Hainan, removed the number four from number plates in August as it sounds similar to “death” when pronounced in Mandarin.
46. Why were some Beijing motorists flushed with anger? Because _____________________.
A．the abbreviation for “Water Closet,”has bee one of the most well—known English expressions in China
B．the Beijing authorities have no intention to alter their on—going policies of issuing license plates
C．new license plate numbers contain the letter bination “WC” which will get laughed at by others
D．the weird abbreviation doesn’t follow Chinese traditional culture and it will offend Chinese patriotic feelings
47. From the cases in the passage, we may know _____________.
A．China is taking in more foreign traditions
B．the Chinese language has a great influence on the English language
C．languages take root in cultures
D．cultures derive from languages
48. How many cases are cited in the passage to illustrate the problem brought about cultural clashes?
A．2 B．3 C．4 D．5
49. How does the author organize the passage to make the theme of the passage more convincing? By ___________________.
A．quoting what the clients said and citing（列举）examples
B．contrasting the great difference in language uses
C．doing some researches on some motorists
D．bragging the effect of the new policies of issuing license plates
50. What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Some Beijing motorists received some researches
B．Drivers kick up stink（抗议）about “WC” car plates
C．Different languages must bring about disturbance in different countries
D．An open—minded person can accept all the alien things

Your parents are unhappy with your grades; your teacher has decided to give you extra homework; there is a big test next week. What else can go wrong? Oh, now your best friend is mad at you because you’ve been too busy to call her. So many problems at the same time, what to do? Well, my dear friend, wele to the world of “pressure”.
“Pressure” means that people are expecting a lot from you. It also means that you sometimes have to do a lot of things in a short period of time. Pressure seems to be a part of modern life; everyone feels it. People feel pressure of trying to please their friends and family.
Surprising as it may sound, though, pressure can be a good thing. When you are under pressure it helps you to concentrate and think hard about the problems that have to be solved. It forces you to organize your time, to decide which problems are more important and which are less important. And, in the end, when you have faced these problems you bee a better, stronger person.
There is a saying, “The only difference between a diamond and a piece of coal is that the diamond had a little more pressure put on it.” It means that the bigger the pressure is, the better the result will be.
Of course, pressure isn’t always beneficial. Too much pressure causes stress and it can harm your health. It affects your heart, your blood circulation and your nervous system. People who suffer from too much pressure or stress have trouble sleeping and eating. When this happens, it’s necessary to get help from a doctor. The worst way to handle pressure is to keep silent, it will only make things worse.
Your attitude has a lot to do with how you handle pressure. When facing a problem, you’d better try to consider it as a challenge not an annoyance. An American president, Calvin Coolidge, said, “If you see ten troubles ing down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch （沟）before they reach you.” In other words, don’t worry about things that may not happen.
Life is filled with problems and pressure—they are never going away, so we have to face them and overe them. They make us better people and we finally can shine like diamonds.
51. Which is the proper title for this article?
A. What Is Pressure?
B. Pressure Is Hard to Overe
C. Without Pressure, Life Will Be Better
D. Learn to Live with Pressure
52. What is the attitude of the author towards pressure in daily life?
A. Pessimistic.
B. Optimistic.
C. Wait and see.
D. Let it be.
53. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. The bigger the pressure is, the better the result will be.
B. It is good for you to regard pressure as a challenge.
C. No pressure, no progress.
D. Keeping silent is the worst way to handle pressure.
D
Enjoying business
On the first day of my school life in the United States, I showed a great interest in my
marketing class. My teacher, Mrs Tolman, suggested I join a national marketing club called DECA, which attracts many students with talent and interest in business. So I did.
The first challenge was to raise money for marketing activities and petitions later in the year by selling Gold Canyon（峡谷）Candles. Mrs Tolman said that the money was due（到期）in a week and that 40 percent of the ine would go into my personal account.
At the beginning, I tried to sell some candles to my host mom. She said that if I could show confidence and do a wonderful sales presentation, she would certainly buy some. I started my presentation with a firm handshake. Then I introduced all the different kinds of candles and the special sales I could offer and convinced her that our candles were the best choice for gifts and home decorations. Finally she bought three candles.
Greatly encouraged I decided to sell my candles around the neighborhood.
On Saturday morning, with great courage, I knocked at the door of my first potential buyer. “I am a student at Skyline High School and we are raising money for the marketing club DECA, I am trying to sell…”
“Not today, sorry,” the man interrupted me and shut the door.
Embarrassed, I walked away and encouraged myself that the worst thing that might happen was being refused like that again. I could not even count how many times I was refused with reasons like “Not today”, “I don’t have any extra money right now”or “I just bought some”. However, I had to go on with the day. Finally, a woman kindly bought nearly $50 worth of candles.
I could not even hide my happiness and said “Thank you very much” to her with a bow.
After a week’s hard work, I turned in my $408 worth of sales of candles, which gave me $163 in my own account. I was surprised to find out that I was the second highest seller in all classes.
It was my first time working as a sales person. This experience let me know that worrying about difficulties was only wasting time and a barrier （障碍）on my way to success.
54. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The author’s first part—time job in the USA.
B. The author’s experience of acting as a salesman.
C. The author’s experience after graduation.
D. The author’s skills in promoting different brands of candles.
55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The author sold the candles quite smoothly.
B. It was difficult for the author to sell candles because she was very shy.
C. The author succeeded despite so many difficulties she met when selling candles.
D. The author failed because of the difficulties she had in selling candles.
56. Selling candles to her host mom ____________________.
A. involved quite a lot of preparation on her part
B. was good practice and built up her confidence
C. was really easy because they had got on really well
D. didn’t take much persuasion because she happened to need some candles
57. The author felt ______________ about her future life according to the passage.
A. pessimistic
B. optimistic
C. disappointed
D. anxious

Ten years of using a mobile phone results in no increased risk of a tumor （肿瘤）in the nerve connecting the car to the brain, researchers said on Tuesday, Reuters reported.
But among public concern about a possible link, the scientists who conducted the largest study so far on the subject said they could not rule out a higher risk over a longer period.
“The results of our study suggest there is no significant risk in the first decade after starting use,” said Anthony Swerdlow of the Institute of Cancer Research.
“Whether there are longer term risks remains unknown, reflecting the fact that this is a relatively recent technology.”
The study, published in the British Journal of Cancer, focused on the risk of acoustic neuroma （听觉神经瘤）, benign tumors which grow in the nerve connecting the ear and inner ear to the brain, close to where handsets are held.
Research has also investigated the possible association of other kinds of brain tumor with mobile phones but scientists say acoustic neuroma would be a prime candidate to be affected.
Previous independent studies have found mobile phone radiation may have some effect on the human body, such as heating up the brain and causing headaches and feeling of sickness.
But no study that could be independently repeated has proved mobile phones have permanent harmful effects and the mobile phone industry argues there is no conclusive evidence that electromagnetic radiation causes harm.
About 780 million mobile phones are expected to be sold this year, and nearly 2 billion people around the world use one.
The institute’s analysis pooled studies conducted in Britain, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden—all countries where mobile phones were introduced early.
Cancer charities（慈善团体）weled the findings.
“However, its important researchers continue to monitor phone users over ing years as mobiles are still relatively new invention,” said Cancer Research UK’s Julie Sharp.
58. What are the public concerned about?
A. Whether mobile phones do harm to their ear.
B. Whether mobile phones do harm to their health.
C. What kind of phone they should use.
D. Why the new finding is opposite to the old one.
59. The researchers have drawn a conclusion that ________________.
A. there is no risk for people to use mobile phones
B. mobile phone radiation may have effect on human body
C. so far there is no connection between mobile phones and risk
D. there is evidence that mobile phones cause harm to human body
60. The underlined word “pooled” in the tenth paragraph means “_______________”.
A. put together
B. gave out
C. sent off
D. sent together

Good afternoon, everyone. Hundreds of millions of students, from primary schools, middle schools and universities all over China join in a national student sports program, so do the students in our school. On May 5,xx, more than 1,100 students in our school took an active part in this program. The Ministry of Education calls on students to exercise for an hour every day, in the hope that they will have good health to work for fifty years and enjoy themselves the whole life. I think it is a good idea for us senior three students to have daily exercise.
Taking exercise helps us build up our body and keep a clear mind. Therefore, we can work more efficiently.
Thank you!。
