I drive thoughtfully as if I’m being tested for a license. I won’t even allow myself to frown when another driver is blocking my path.My kids hav e noticed my fear in public. “Why are you looking all around Mum?’’ they asked.“You can’t be too careful,” I said. “Every single person around us is hiding one of cellphone cameras. They are glad to catch somebody doing something stupid or embarrassing. T hen they’ll put it on YouTube and a million people will see. I’m not taking any chances.”“But I don’t think anyone is interested in filming you putting on your lipstick for a YouTube video,” answered one kid.“Oh, really? Don’t count me out so quickly,” I said.Actually, in some cases, I am all for public shaming. For example, I admire the cleverness ofthe man who put up a website where he posts photos of cars and license numbers of people who occupy two parking spots. And I take secret pleasure in photos of politicians with their fingers in their noses. Throwing light on bad behavior can rouse the sleepy conscience (良知).But what about the poor guy who has already had a bad day at work and then loses his temper at a rude store clerk? What about the woman whose only crime is a terrible judgment error at the hairdresser? Do they deserve to have their images uploaded onto the Internet for all the world to see?None of this is new, of course. Allen Funt pioneered the art of catching people during unguarded mo ments back in the 1940s with “Candid Camera”. But there’s a difference. On “Candid Camera”, people are set up in staged situations, such as riding in an elevator that goes sideways. And they must give permission before they enjoy their fifteen minutes of fame. Now we are a nation of Allen Funts. This can’t be a good thing.24. What is the author like?A. She is poor at driving.B. She is a very fashionable dresser.C. She is very cautious about her behavior.D. She is sick to death of others' rudeness.25. What is the author truly afraid of?A. Making mistakes before her kids.B. Being filmed while doing something stupid.C. Getting involved in a quarrel with others.D. Watching videos on YouTube.26. From the text, the author thinks it good .A. to keep the poor’s mistakes secret.B. to download images from the Internet.C. to take pleasure in making funny videos.D. to make the public aware of bad behavior.27. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggest?A. People can be easily caught in embarrassing moments.B. We are permitted to upload images onto the Internet.C. It was once a fashion to film people in unguarded moments.D. Cellphones make it convenient to catch illegal behavior.CWearing a red nose for a day may seem like a strange way to raise money for charity. However, it seems to work in Britain. Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the series “Blackadder” as well as the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill’’. Richard’s idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Et hiopia. It’s called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money” and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the following areas: treating malaria, education, maternal health and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day telethon raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.Getting sponsored to do something is a common way to raise money on RND. If someone sponsors you it means that they agree to give you a certain amount of money for your actions. Here are some ways that people raise money: wear their pyjamas (睡衣) all day at work or in school, or grow a moustache or beard for a month.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It is all for a good cause!28.

It makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even clean your windows with it. And now, according to scientists, it may even help the planet’s population survive climate change. Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan proved that. They found growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower.The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate (醋酸盐)—the main component of vinegar.After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help fanners in dry countries keep their crops alive. “In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize…and proved successful” Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told PopularScience magazine.Kim has already been in touch with people around the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from farmers to companies and amateur gardeners. “Now we are trying to cooperate with them to make a method to apply this system, and make the process as simple as possible,” he said. Hopefully this means the end of hunger caused by bad weather in the future.32. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Vinegar may help creatures survive bad weather.B.

Scientists in Japan find from their studies that .A. the Arabidopsis could survive in dry weather because of the shapeB. soil condition could be changed by pouring vinegar continuallyC. the acetate can be used by farmers to replace the soilD. the plants treated with acetate could survive dry conditions34.

Keeping plants alive means a lot for scientists.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Japanese Scientists Find a PlantB. Vinegar Could End HungerC. Vinegar and FoodD. Plants Need Water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。
