happiest day of my life．Unfortunately my wife decided she no longer wanted to be married to me．My little boy and I had to （31），only getting to see each other every other weekend．One day，I decided to go fishing with my son，who was about 5years old，at a nearby lake．We arrived at the lake early．Getting out of the car，we brought out all of the fishing equipment and our life jackets and the cooler that had our tasty lunch in it．I could just （32）the day in my mind in hopes that it would never end．We both went out onto the dock（船坞）and I thought，"Do I put his life jacket on first or load the boat first？"I saw him skipping rocks on the water，so I decided to load the boat first．I was just finishing up when I heard the splash．I turned and looked quickly expecting to see Robert（33）standing there，but I did not see him anywhere．I jumped into the water to save my son immediately．I searched and searched but found him nowhere．I came up for a breath hoping to see him above water，now wondering how I could find him in the murky（浑浊的）water．I finally decided to go all the way to the bottom and（34）around，not coming up until I found him．Finally，there on the bottom he was，his arms wrapped around the wooden pole that holds up the dock．I brought him to the（35）and put him on the bank．While both of us were coughing and spitting out water，I just hugged him andwas （36）that I had found him in time．When things finally calmed down，I asked one simple question，"Robert，why were you （37）onto that pole on the bottom of the lake？"He looked at me with the most innocent and loving eyes and simply replied，"I was waiting for you，Daddy．I knew you would come to （38）me．"I thought that I could not be any （39）or any madder at the same time and I just told him，"I sure do love you，sweetheart．"He replied，"I love you too，Dad．" There is no amount of money or cars or jobs or any material thing that could replace being loved and （40）someone so much．I am lucky to have the ability to love on such a

did he come from？I noticed he had no collar （项圈）．Who would be so careless？I went inside and brought out a can of fish．The cat hungrily ate it up and then walked right inside the house．I wanted to get him out，but I hesitated．Our family never owned pets，but I had always wanted one．Just then，the cat meowed and jumped up onto my leg．Well，he seemed to like me!Maybe I didn't have to give him back after all!The cat kept me owing a lot．I knew I had to go to the store and get some cat food．On my way out，I saw a sign on the telephone pole：Black and white，very friendly．If you find him，please call us at 617﹣58463302．We are worried sick．"Hmm，"I thought．"If you were so worried about your kitten，maybe you should have taken better care of him!"When I walked into the pet store，I saw a group of kids hanging up notices about thissame cat there．"I can't believe I lost my cat!"a little boy in a wheelchair cried to his parents．"I couldn't get to the open door in time!"I looked at the notices on the wall．It was surely the cat I had back at home．Then the truth of the situation hit me：I had stolen a little boy's cat!Now I realized there was a lot I didn't understand．I tried to explain why I should keep the cat by convincing myself the owners deserved to lose him．Now I saw that it was all a big mistake．I walked to the little boy．"I have your cat，"I told him．"I'm sorry．I just found him and fed him．He's at my house．"The little boy began to cry with laughter．He blew his nose and gave me a great big hug．"Thank you so much!I was just about to put a new collar on him when he ran out of the

too soon．C．Too often we enjoy cats as good company．D．Everyone should help people in trouble．25．（8分）Need to buy something？Why go to a store？Buy it on the Internet!Need it now？Why wait？Ask for next﹣day delivery!Each day，more and more people try online shopping．In fact，online sales have doubled in the last ten years．But not everyone is excited．Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment．People are surprised to hear this．"They think，‘I don't need to drive，and the business doesn't need to build a store，so there will be less pollution，'"says Nuria Prost，an environmental scientist．"But it is not so simple．In fact，online shopping is wasteful．It also adds to air pollution．"In truth，the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems．For example，most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials．But paper use increased by 33percent between 1986and 1997．"Online shopping could have similarly negative effects，"says Nevil Cohen，a professor of environmental science．Part of the problem is what people are buying these days．In the past，people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material，such as books and clothing．But now people also shop online for large，heavy products such as televisions，computers，and furniture．These products need to be packed in large amounts of plastic and paper．This creates a lot of waste．Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution．When customers buy products and ask for next﹣day delivery，companies often have to send them by air．Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more carbon dioxide（CO2）．When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses，this creates even more travel by airplane．Online product returns are also a problem．For example，an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size．This doubles the packing material and number of airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes．"If people want to protect the environment，they need to think before they shop，"says Prost．"People need to ask themselves：Is this exactly what I want？Do I really need it tomorrow，or can I wait？"Online stores can also charge（收费）customers for returns．This may make people shop more carefully．"Online shopping is fast and easy，"says Prost，"but we can't forget the negative effects it has on the environment．"48．Why does online shopping create a lot of waste？A．Because companies charge more for product returns．B．Because people buy too many things they don't need．C．Because paper use has increased by 33percent from 1986to 1997．D．Because large，heavy products require much packing material．49．What do companies do to meet the needs of the next﹣day delivery？A．Prepare more products．B．Get more workers to pack．C．Send the products by air．D．Open more stores in cities．50．Prost probably agrees that．A．people should drive to stores to buy thingsB．online shopping adds pollution to the environmentC．online shopping saves more than shopping in a storeD．people can buy things online without careful consideration51．What is probably the best title of the passage？A．A Good Deal to Make？B．A Different Lifestyle to Keep？C．A Cleaner Way to Shop？D．A New Business to Start？26．（8分）"You expect your friends to see you in a positive manner，but they also are observers of the personalities that could cause you an early death，"said Joshua Jackson，an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences．Published in the journal Psychological Science，the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75years and that close friends are usually better than you at recognizing these traits．"Our study shows that people are able to observe and evaluate（评价）a friend's personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road，"Jackson said．"It suggests that people are able to see important characteristics related to health even when their friends were，for the most part，healthy and many years from death．"While other studies have shown that a person's view of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks，there has been little research on whether a close friend's personality evaluation might also predict the chances of a long life．To explore this question，Jackson and colleagues analyzed data（数据）from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid﹣20s．The study included wide﹣ranging data on participant（参与者）personalities，both self﹣reported and as reported by close friends．Using information from follow﹣up studies and searches of death certificates（证书），Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants．Peer（同龄人）evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self﹣evaluations of personality．"There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over self﹣evaluations，"Jackson said．"First，friends may see something that you miss；they may have some insight that you do not．Second，because people have several friends，we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthy evaluation of personality．With self﹣reports，people may miss certain sides of themselves and we are not able to counteract（抵抗）that because there is only one you，only one self﹣report．"The study also shows some gender differences in self﹣evaluation：Men's self﹣evaluations of personality were somewhat useful in predicting their lifespans（寿命），whereas the self﹣reports of women had little predictive value．"This is one of the longest studies in psychology，"Jackson said．"It shows how important personality is in influencing important life outcomes like health，and that information from friends can play a critical role in understanding a person's health issues．52．What can we learn from Paragraph 2？A．People's health is related to their friends．B．Friends can predict lifespans better than us．C．An early personality evaluation helps us live longer．D．The study shows most people can live across 75years．53．The underlined word"insight"in Paragraph 6probably means""．A．adviceB．influenceC．imaginationD．understanding54．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．People with more close friends have better personalities．B．Self﹣evaluations have advantages over peer evaluations．C．Men predict their lifespans more exactly than women．D．The findings are based on participants'disease data．55．What can we infer from the last paragraph？A．Friends'personality evaluations can help recognize health risks．B．Best friends play an important role in treating certain diseases．C．Psychology studies may influence personality development．D．Personality has little important effect on people's health．五、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．每个选项只能用一次．27．（10分）The Same But DifferentMaggie and Sarah are twin sisters．They were born just a few minutes apart，and they look exactly alike．They both have blonde hair and green eyes．（56）．Sometimes other students at school have a hard time telling them apart．Maggie and Sarah like going to the same school．This is because they are not just twin sisters，but best friends too．They have a lot in common．（57）．Both girls spend a lot of time together with their family，and they both like to play with their dog，Callie．（58）．Maggie likes to play sports．She is on a soccer team and a basketball team．Sarah doesn't really like sports．She likes to dance．There are other differences between them too．（59）．Maggie likes to read mystery books，but Sarah likes to read books about animals．Maggie gets better grades in reading and Spanish，but Sarah gets better grades in math and science．Everyone is different in her or his own way．Maggie and Sarah like being different from each other as much as they like being similar．（60）．六、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．28．（10分）Do you worry about your health？Have you tried to run or walk for exercise and then quit？If you answer yes，you should try a new type of exercise：aquatic exercise．Aquatic exercise is a kind of exercise you do in a swimming pool．For example，you can run，walk，or even do a mind﹣body practice，such as yoga．More and more people are trying aquatic exercise．In the United States，the numberhas grown by 25% in recent years．People in other countries are also doing aquatic exercise more frequently．Aquatic exercise has many benefits．First of all，it feels easier than exercising on land．Why？You weigh about 90% less in the pool．It is also better for your knees than running or walking．Aquatic exercise feels easy，but you still burn calories（卡）．Water is 1，000times thicker and heavier than air．In the same amount of time，you can burn more calories in the pool than in the gym．That's because it takes more energy to move in the water．But what if you are scared of the water？No problem!There is nothing to worry about．Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn．It doesn't require any special skills．For most kinds of aquatic exercise，you don't even need to know how to swim．In fact，most people say they feel more relaxed in the water．They stop thinking about the things that make them anxious．The cool and quiet environment makes them exercise more．Aquatic exercise is suitable for everyone．You can do it at any age．It can even help people who have been hurt in accidents．With aquatic exercise，they can move in ways they can't on land．For example，some people who can't walk can walk and even run in the water．So are you looking for a fun new way to improve your health？Why not try？Join the millions of people who are burning calories while keeping cool in the pool．61．Where do people do aquatic exercise？62．Why do people burn more calories while doing aquatic exercise？63．Is it difficult to learn aquatic exercise？64．Who is aquatic exercise suitable for？65．What is the passage mainly about？．七、书面表达29．（15分）根据中文和英文提示，写一段意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于50词的回信．信的开头和结尾已给出，其词数不计入所要完成的回信内．请不要写出你的校名和姓名．假如你叫李华，你的美国朋友Emily通过邮件想了解使你发生改变的人．请你谈谈她/他是谁，发生了什么令你改变的事，以及你的感悟．2015年北京市海淀区中考英语一模试卷参考答案与试题解析一、听力理解1．（1分）【解答】略2．（1分）【解答】略3．（1分）【解答】略4．（1分）【解答】略5．（1分）【解答】略6．（2分）请听一段对话，完成第6至第7小题．6．What's

However, there is no doubt that my English teacher has changed me a lot.To begin with, I used to be such a shy girl that I was afraid to speak in public, so when my English teacher asked me to have a speech, I was not sure if I could handle it by myself. She encouraged me to try my best. What’s more, she helped me with my speaking ability, and it improved quickly. At last, I became confident enough to stand on the stage. As everyone clapped for me, I was filled with a strong feeling of satisfaction, I made it!!!As far as I’m concerned, I learn that nothing is impossible if we put our hearts in it . Moreover, believing in ourselves plays an important role in our daily life, with these, we can not only get stronger but also succeed.。

My friends and I wanted nothing less than perfection.In high school, we joined the gymnastics team, and our 36 because even more important to us. We had no fat, only muscle. On the weekends, we would go to the beach, 37 of our flat stomachs.One summer day, all my friends were at my house 38 . At one point, I was running back to the pool. I 39 on a bee, and while it was dying under my foot, it stung (蛰) me. I instantly started to feel 40 . That night, I began to run a high fever and my leg and foot were red, hot and swollen.

Less and less would I want to hear my friends talk about 49 and who was wearing what. More and more I expected visits from other kids in the hospital, who were quickly becoming my friends.One girl came to visit me 50 . Every time she came, she brought flowers. She was recovering from cancer and felt she should come back and 51 the other patients.She still had no hair, and she was swollen from medications she had been taking. I would not have given this girl a second 52 before. I now loved every inch of her and looked forward to her 53 .Finally, I was improving and soon I went home. My leg was still swollen, 54 I was walking, and I had my foot! When I would go back to the hospital, I often saw my friend. She was still visiting people and 55 good cheer.

Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sou nds of the English language. ―I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.‖At the time, most scientists didn’t believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn’t have t he ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves.―That’s why I started my studies with Alex,‖ Irene said, ―Some people actually called me crazy for trying this.‖Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex the parrot became a very good talker.Thirty years after the Alex studies began. Irene was still giving him English lessons up until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry he could say ―want grape‖. Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. ―He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them.‖ Irene said, after pronouncing ―seven‖ for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say ―seven‖.Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.One theory for dogs’ ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving (进化). While animals can’t do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.56. Irene wanted to find out __________.A. what a parrot thinksB. why a parrot can speakC. how parrots make soundsD. if parrots speak English57. Alex learnt new words by __________.A. singing themB. reading themC. writing themD. rehearing them58. The two dogs mentioned in the article could _______.A. understand some wordsB. recognize strange voicesC. copy human gesturesD. tell different colors59. The article concludes that ___________.A. our pets understand what we sayB. dogs may speak to humans one dayC. humans are related to chimpanzeesD. mental ability can evolve in animalsCoaches are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, ―coach, that was the best practice I ever had.‖ I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that on other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.60. Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.A. concentrated on skill trainingB. trained the team to the edge of deathC. expected the team to do well in their studiesD. asked the team to do more reading than training61. The underlined phrase ―slacked off‖ in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. paid no attentionB. showed no interestC. had less passionD. made less effort62. In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.A. strict and helpfulB. hardworking and honestC. skilled and cruelD. professional and seriousAs we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Ye re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, fir st came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the ―what‖ and the ―why‖. Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book ―brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.‖It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience –by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once. We treasure m essy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.63. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to __________.A. attract the attention of readersB. introduce the topic of the passageC. provide some background informationD. show the similarity between re-readers64. The underlined expression ―crack their spines‖ in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A. recite themB. re-read themC. recall themD. retell them65. It can be learned from the passage that __________.A. reading benefits people both mentally and physicallyB. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC. we know ourselves better through re-reading experienceD. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do66. The purpose of the passage is to __________.A. call on different understandings of old booksB. focus on the mental health benefits of readingC. bring awareness to the significance of re-readingD. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old booksEvery day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation, the medium of radio is making a great comeback.―We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio,‖ said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast (播客). These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the pres ent day’s digital podcast format. The term ―podcast‖ was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities (功能). You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTurns. ―I listen while I’m wandering around the house doing something else. It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable… And it’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the rest of the world,‖ she said, ―I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I’ve also been listening to This American Life and Serial. They have a special skill to really draw you in.‖Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this owes to the podcast’s ability ―to create close relationship and emotional connection.‖ Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees. ―When you’re listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly to you.

Technology of Podcast第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）House SittingIn many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 71 So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 72 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.73 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 74 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.75 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.A. I have done house sitting many times.B. Thousands of people do this all the time.C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节(15分)假设你是校图书馆馆长的学生助理李华，图书馆要进行网络系统升级，请在阅览室向在场的留学生口头通知相关事宜，并请他们转告其他留学生。

The lakeThe day when Robert was born was the happiest day of my life. Unfortunately my wife decided she no longer wanted to be married to me. My little boy and I had to 31 , only getting to see each other every other weekend.One day, I decided to go fishing with my son, who was about 5 years old, at a nearby lake. We arrived at the lake early. Getting out of the car, we brought out all the fishing equipment and our life jackets and the cooler that had our tasty lunch in it.I could just 32 the day in my mind in hopes that it would never end. We both went out onto the dock (船坞) and I thoug ht, “Do I put his jacket on first or load the boat first?”I saw him skipping rocks on the water, so I decided to load the boat first.I was just finishing up when I heard the splash. I turned and looked quickly expecting to see Robert 33 standing there, but I did not see him anywhere.I jumped into the water to save my son immediately. I searched and searched but found him nowhere. I came up for a breath hoping to see him above the water now wondering how I could find him in the murky(浑浊的) water. I finally decided to go all the way to the bottom and 34 around, not coming up until I found him.Finally, there on the bottom he was, his arms wrapped around the wooden pole that holds up the dock. I brought him to the 35 and put him on the bank. While both of us were coughing and spitting out water, I just hugged him and was 36 that I had found him in time.When things finally calmed down, I asked one simple question, “Robert, why were you 37 onto that pole on the bottom of the lake?”He looked at me with the moat innocent and loving eyes and simply replied, “I was waiting for you, Daddy.I knew you would come to 38 me.”I thought that I could not be any 39 or any madder at the same time and I just told him, “I sure do love you, sweetheart.” He replied, “I love you too, Dad.”There is no amount of money or cars or jobs or any material thing that could replace being loved and 40 someone so much.

Who would be so careless?I went inside and brought out a can of fish. The cat hungrily ate it up and then walked right inside the house. I wanted to get him get, but I hesitated. Our family never owned pets, but I had always wanted one.Just then, the cat meowed and jumped p onto my leg. Well, he seemed to like me! Maybe I didn’t have to give him back after all!The cat kept meowing a lot. I knew I had to go to the store and get some cat food. On my way out, I saw a sign on the telephone pole:LOST CATBlack and white, very friendly. If you find him, please call us at 617-58463302. we are worried sick.“Hmm,” I thought, “ If you were so worried about your cat, maybe you should have taken better care of him!” When I walked into the pet store, I saw a group of kids hanging up notices about the same cat there.“I can’t believe I lost my cat!” a little boy in a wheelchair cried to his parents. “I couldn’t get to open the door in time!”I looked at the notices on the wall. It was surely the cat I had back at home. Then the truth of the situation hi t me: I had stolen a little boy’s cat!Now I realized there was a lot I didn’t understand. I tried to explain why I should keep the cat by convincing myself the owners deserved to lose him. Now I saw it was all a big mistake.I walked to the little boy.“I have your cat,” I told him. “I’m sorry. I just found him and fed him. He’s at my house.” The little boy began to cry with laughter. He blew his nose and gave me a great big hug.“Thank you so much! I was just about to put a new collar on him when he ran out of the door. I couldn’t chase him!

Sometimes we make a judgment too soon.C. Too often we enjoy cats as good company.D. Everyone should help people in trouble.CNeed to buy something? Why go to a store? Buy it on the Internet! Need it now? Why wait? Ask for next-day delivery! Each day, more and more people try online shopping. In fact, online sales have doubled in the last ten years. But not everyone is excited. Some scientists now say that online shopping is bad for the environment.People are surpri sed to hear this. “They think, I don’t need to drive, and the business doesn’t need to build a store, so there wi ll be less pollution,” says Nuria Prost, an environmental scientist.“But it is not so simple. In fact, online shopping is wasteful. It also adds to air pollution.”In truth, the Internet is not always as good a friend to the environment as it seems. For example, most people thought that the Internet would help offices use less paper and other materials. But paper use increased by 33% between 1986 and 1997. “Online shopping could have similarly negative effects,” says Nevil Cohen, a professor of environmental science.Part of the problem is what people are buying these days. In the past, people bought things on the Internet that did not require much packing material, such as books and clothing. But now people also shop online for large, heavy products such as televisions, computers, and furniture. These products need to be packed in large amount of plastic and paper. This creates a lot of waste.Another problem caused by online shopping is air pollution. When customers buy products and ask for next-day delivery, companies often have to send them by air. Airplanes use much more fuel than cars and produce more car dioxide(CO2). When people buy a lot of different things from different online businesses, this creates even more travel by airplane.Online product returns are also a problem. For example, an online shoe store may allow customers to return shoes without extra pay if they are the wrong size. This doubles the packing material and number airplane trips required to sell one pair of shoes.“If people want to protect the environment, they need to think before they shop,”says Prost.“People need to ask themselves: Is this exactly what I want? Do I really need it tomorrow, or can I wait?”Online stores can also charge(收费) customers for returns. This may make people shop more carefully. “Online shopping is fast and easy,”says Prost, “B ut we can’t forget the negative effects it has on the environm ent.”48. Why does online shopping create a lot of waste?A. Because companies charge more for product returns.B. Because peopl e buy too many things they don’t need.C. Because paper use has increased by 33% from 1986 to 1997.D. Because large, heavy products require much packing material.49. What do companies do to meet the needs of next-day delivery?A. Prepare more products.B. Get more workers to pack.C. Send the products by air.D. Open more stores in cities.50. Prost probably agrees that .A. people should drive to stores to buy thingsB. online shopping adds more pollution to the environmentC. online shopping saves more than shopping in a storeD. people can buy things online without careful consideration51. What is probably the best title of the passage?A. A Good Deal to Make?B. A Different Lifestyle to keep？C. A Cleaner Way to Shop?D. A New Business to Start?D“You expect your friends to see you in a positive manner, but they are also observers of the problem that cause you an early death.” said Joshua Jackson, an assistant professor of psychology in Arts & Sciences.Published in the journal Psychological Science, the study shows that your personality at an early age can predict how long you will live across 75 years and that close friends are usually better than you at recognizing these traits. “Our study shows that people are able to observe and evaluate(评价) a friend’s personality exactly enough to predict early death years down the road,” Jackson said.“It suggests that people are able to see important characteristics related to health even when their friends were, or the most part, healthy and many years from death.”While other s tudies have shown that a person’s view of his or her own personality can be helpful in evaluating death risks, there had been little research on whether a close friend’s personality evaluation might also predict the chances of along life.To explore this question, Jackson and colleagues analyzed data(数据) from a longitudinal study that in the 1930s began following a group of young people in their mid-20s. The study included wide- ranging data on participant(参与者) personalities, both self-reported and as reported by close friends.Using information from follow-up studies and searches of death certificates(证书), Jackson and colleagues were able to record dates of death for all but a few study participants. Peer(同龄人) evaluations of personality were stronger predictors of death risks than were self-evaluations of personality.“There are two possible reasons for the advantage of peer evaluations over self evaluations,” Jackson said. “First, friends may see something that you mi ss; they may have some insight that you do not. Second, because people have several friends, we are able to average the characteristics of any one friend to get a more trustworthy evaluation of personality.
