阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
In this digital age, we search almost everything online before we decide what to do. According to a US－based business reviewing website, the top searches at different times of the night in different European countries vary a lot. Below are some of the more interesting findings. Take a look.
Italy: While most Europeans are searching for restaurants or bars around 6 p．m., the Italians are searching for messages, shoes and job agencies.
Germany：Coming from perhaps the most organized and efficient country, the average German is attracted to food and drink. Having looked up restaurants and bars earlier in the evening, they have already been searching for breakfast and brunch by 9 p.m.
UK: Karaoke is one of the most popular pastimes in Asia, but in Europe, the UK seems to be the only nation to look first for Karaoke bars in its Internet searches, roughly around 9 p.m. Later into the night, Britons are going to 24－hour pharmacies (药房)by 10 p.m., and then there is a steady interest in 24－hour food stores and delivery, until 1 a.m.
France：The French call it a day online quite early, at about 10 p.m. But they don't do it until they've had a chance to put their dancing shoes on, after searching for “night club” and “dance”.
Spain: The Spanish seem to be quite practical. They search for elementary schools and dermatology(皮肤科) at 10 p．m., followed by swimming lessons at midnight.
21. A man searching for education information online often probably comes from ________．
A. Spain
B. UK
C. France
D. Germany
22. What can we learn from the text ?
A. The Italians don't like restaurants or bars.
B. UK is considered the most organized country.
C. Asian people often look for Karaoke first online.
D. Usually French people end their online search early.
23. In which section of a magazine does this text probably come from?
A. Opinion.
B. Lifestyle.
C. Society.
D. Technology.
B
On the day of college graduation, I announced to my friends and family:
I was leaving the country I had lived in since childhood. “I just need
a change,” I told them, but there was more. I was heartbroken. My relationship with the United States is the toughest one I have ever had, as a country I loved and believed in did not love me back.
Back in the 1990s’, my mother brought me from our home in the Caribbean islands to America when I was four. She worked as a live-in nanny(保姆)for two years, playing mommy for white kids whose parents had better things to do. She was thirsty to embrace her American dream, hoping that her children would be educated and she might have nannies of her own one day.
That was our path—get a “good education.”When the neighborhoods with quality schools became too expensive for my mom to afford as a single parent, we went across the United States with GreatSchools Net as our compass: New Jersey, elementary school; Texas, middle school; Florida, high school; New York City, private university.
For a long time I survived by covering myself in all kinds of labels so that people would ignore the color of my skin, yet I existed on the edge of ugly, ignorant and uncolored. “Black people don’t really know how to swim,” a white lady told me when I worked as a swim instructor at my neighborhood’s pool. “The black children don’t like to read very much,” I overheard one librarian discussing with another while l was reading.
I was never able to make America my home. When I stripped myself of the labels painfully one by one, beneath them there is a wounded colored woman who refuses to be faceless anymore. My face may be disgusting to some since it bears proof that race continues to be a problem. My hope is that it will force Americans to reexamine their “post—racial”beliefs.
25. The author gives two examples in Paragraph 4 to show
that .
A. she needed to cover herself in all kinds of labels
B. Black people and children don’t like swimming and reading at all
C. racial discrimination still exists in such a developed country
D. white people in America are ignorant and rude
26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A. The author’s mother was well educated and hoped the author could receive good education as her.
B. The author and her mother referred to GreatSchools Net when the author wanted to choose schools to attend in America.
C. The author once worked as a nanny as well as a swimming instructor.
D. The author found it easy to adapt to the life in America when she first arrived there.
27. The author writes the passage to hope .
A. immigrants get ready for more hardship
B. the US people reflect on how it treated the colored people
C. her family can understand her decision
D. the black people reexamine their ways of life
C
Forests are amazing, and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, bats (蝙蝠) or monkeys. We know a lot about their lives: how they find food or what they do at different times of the year. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film?
Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois Xavier Joly, is studying one of them---the millipede(千足虫).
The importance of leaves
When the leaves begin to die in fall, they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees. As they decompose on the ground, nutrients(营养物质) are returned to the soil and carbon dioxide to the air. Life in the forest needs these nutrients. Without them, plants could not grow and there would be no food for animals such as the millipede.
Food on the forest floor
Some living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into small pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to be broken down than others. Sometimes it takes years. So what happens to these? This is where millipede can help.
More on the menu
The millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue.
So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet.
28. According to the passage, what can we learn about the millipede?
A. It can often be seen on TV shows.
B. It mostly feeds on the nutrients in the soil.
C. It is too small to be noticed by people.
D. It lives under mushrooms in the forest.
29. What does the author want to tell us by mentioning mushrooms?
A. The millipede eats mushrooms in the forest.
B. The millipede helps to provide food for mushrooms.
C. Mushrooms play an important part in helping millipedes out.
D. Mushrooms decide what types of leaves the millipede will eat.
31. According to the author, the millipede is .
A. poisonous
B. rare
C. unimportant
D. amazing
D
There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier: “Paper or plastic?” Well, which type of bag would you choose?
While all types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true? Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped qu ickly.
There’s no d oubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what
to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”
32. The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to .
A. express the author’s doubts
B. tell readers how to save money
C. introduce points for discussion
D. show the kindness of the cashier
33. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags .
A. need more water to produce
B. require less energy to recycle
C. take more time to break down
D. have less influence on forests
34. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means “”.
A. shared
B. given up
C. discussed
D. put forward
35. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask?
A. Paper or cloth?
B. Paper or plastic?
C. A small bag or big one?
D. A new bag or your own one?

Some people get pleasure from picnics and tours. Others like to discuss various topics and find pleasure in it. But the reading of books provides us with such pleasure as we do not get from any other activity.
Books are written by learned people. They contain the best experiences and thoughts of their writers. Writers put in their books not only their own ideas and feelings, but also what they observe and find in society. 36
If we are in a cheerful mood, our joy is increased by reading. 37 They provide us with the best advice and guidance in our difficulties. Indeed, books are our best friends as they help us in our hour of need.
38 They entertain us in our spare moments. Good novels, books on poetry and short stories, give us great enjoyment. At times we become so absorbed in our books that we forget even our important arrangements. Loneliness is no trouble for a reader.
39 They give us sound moral advice. It is through the reading of books that we learn what to love and what to hate. The reading of good
books develops and improves our character.
It was the English author Bacon who said that reading makes a full man.
No one can question the truth of this saying.
40 Some books are such that instead of doing any good, they do harm
to the readers. So it is the reading of
good books alone that presents us the greatest benefit.
A. Books keep us well-informed.
B. Books contain grains of wisdom.
C. When we are alone, books are our best friends.
D. Books enable us to know the best of the colorful world.
E. When we are in a depressed mood, books comfort our troubled minds.
F. But we cannot get full advantage from reading, if our choice is not good.
G. By reading books written by great thinkers, we come in contact with their minds.

I'd like to talking about my most memorable experience. It was the trip to Australia I had three years before with my dance group to participate in international dance festival. It was the first time ago I had travelled by plane in my life. My mum worried a lot, so everything went smoothly. I stayed there for two week and it was the happiest time in my life.
