The grandchild will become more skillful at gardening than Grandma.B．Grandma will develop more patience in working with the grandchild.C． The grandchild will gradually become more independent of Grandma.D． Grandma's need for the grandchild's company will grow over time.CI was hurrying to our basketball game one morning when Hillary Barnes，the most popular girl，in school，stopped me. “ Are you the twin who won the art competition？” she asked.“ No， that's Christine.I'm Katie. ” I said.We were not identical twins ； we looked quite different.She could defeat Snow White in a beauty contest！Compared to Christine ， I felt like one of Cinderella's stepsisters.One Saturday Christine gave me a painting lesson because I was always attempting to be artistic too.But I knocked over the vase of flowers ， spilling water onto Christine's painting.Instead of becoming angry，though，she turned the whole mess into a dreamy masterpiece(杰作)．You could look at it five different ways and see five different things.With this brilliant creation，she won First Prize in the art competition.I really envied her，but I knew it wasn't her fault and I was the one with wild，unmanageable hair and no talent.Joining Christine's basketball team was my latest effort to be like her.On the way to the gym， I'd made up my mind to give my best performance in that day's game.I made preparations with great enthusiasm. “ Christine ， here！”I tossed her a ball.But it was too high ， she leapt for it ，it slipped through her fingers and crashed into the tape recorder that was used to play the national anthembefore each game.I muttered apologies as I picked up the broken pieces of the recorder.Coach looked at the mess and asked，“ How are we going to play the song now ？”Christine suggested，“Let Katie sing it！ She's always singing at home.”Coach asked.“ Would you ？” I found myself nodding.Coach announced the national anthem and everyone stood.Standing before a microphone ， I looked up to the flag.The notes seemed to flow from deep inside me ，and my voice was steady and clear.When I finished ，the gym was silent Then it was filled with applause.As the game started.teammates patted my back and gave me the “ thumbs up ” ura Jamison said.“ You should try out for the school musical ！” I Nodded and said that I might.The next morning Hillary Barnes stopped me in the hallway and asked，“ Are you the twin who sings？”“ Yes， that's me ，” I answered ，grining( 露齿笑 )as I walked to class.49．The authur uses “ Snow White ” and“Cinderella's stepsisters ” toshow A． how dissimilar the twins were in appearaneeB．why Christine could win the art competitionC． who was the most popular girl at schoolD． what the twins characters were like50．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A． Christine was unpleasant to her sister.B．Katie showed a lot of ability in painting too.C． The masterpiece was painted by the two sisters.D．Katie took a reasonably balanced view of her sister.51．Christine recommended Katie for the national anthem because ________.A． she knew perfectly well what Katie had a gift for.B．she wanted to repair the damage she had caused.C． she thought Katie should be punished.D． she would like to help the coach.52． What is the message of the story?A． Bad situations help become popular.B．People are talented in different ways.C． People should always be nice to others.D． Unsuccessful attempts are well worth the effort.DWhat makes a house a home?Not size ， of course.I've been in some of the grandest houses in America ， and it's clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year ，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia ，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess' bed — a home that had more warmth than any house I've been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just -

I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no！”I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.1．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A．Lady, are you rich? B．A story of Thanksgiving DayC．Don't forget how rich you are D．Does cups and saucers match well?2．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.B．The writer had thought she wasn't rich because her supplies were not expensive.C．If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.D．After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was. 3．The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to________.A．show that she was a kind-hearted ladyB．remind her that she shouldn't forget how rich she wasC．leave room for readers to think about what being rich isD．prove that she had understood what meant being rich4．It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on________.A．how much money you have made B．what attitude you have had towards life C．the way you help others D．your social relationshipBEverybody hates it, but everybody does it. A recent report said that 40％of Americans hate tipping. In America alone, tipping is a $16 billion-a-year industry. Consumers acting politely ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service. Tips should not exist. So why do they? The common opinion in the past was that tips both rewarded the efforts of good service and reduced uncomfortable feelings of inequality. And also, tipping makes for closer relations. It went without saying that the better the service, the bigger the tip.But according to a new research from Cornell University, tips no longer serve any useful function. The paper analyzes numbers they got from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants. The connection between larger tips and better service was very weak. Only a tiny part of the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.Tipping is better explained, by culture than by the money people spend. In America, the custom came into being a long time ago. It is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip at least l5% could well mean dissatisfaction from the customers. Hairdressers can expect to get l5%-20%, and the man who delivers your fast food $2. In Europe, tipping is less common. In many restaurants the amount of tip is decided by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all. Only a few have really taken to tipping.According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell papers' author, countries in which people are more social or outgoing tend to tip more. Tipping may reduce anxiety about being served by strangers. And Mr. Lynn says, “In America, where people are expressive and eager to mix up with others, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off."5. This passage is mainly about ________.A. different kinds of tipping in different countries命题人：马婷B. the relationship between tipping and customC. the origin and present meaning of tippingD. most American people hate tipping6. Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase "caught on"?A. become popular.B. been hated.C. been stopped.D. been permitted7. Among the following situations, in your opinion, who is likely to tip most?A. A Frenchman just quarreled with the barber who did his hair badly in New York.B. An American just had a wonderful dinner in a well known restaurant in New York.C. A Japanese businessman asked for a pizza delivery from a Pizza Hut in New York.D. A Chinese student enjoyed his meal in a famous fast food restaurant in New York.8. We can infer from this passage that ________.A. tipping is no longer a good way to satisfy some customers themselvesB. tipping is especially popular in New YorkC. tipping in America can make service better nowD. tipping has something to do with people's characterCPeople are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal informatio n.Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules early on you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year. The company changed its privacy rules so that many things; your city, your photo, your friends’ names were set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information. They have a “less satisfying experience.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them. At the side of the pages totally, who wants to took at ads when the y’re online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guide lines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too higha price to pay.9. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.B. It earns money by putting on advertisements.C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.D. It provides loads of information to its users.10. What does the author say about most Facebook users?A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.C. They don’t identify themselves when using the websi te.D. They care very little about their personal information.11. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?A. To provide better service to its users.B. To obey the Federal guidelines.C. To improve its users’ connectionD. To expand its business.12. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.D13. What you have just read is a _______.A. noteB. reportC. scheduleD. poster14. What is going to take place on 2 February, 2013?A. A party for close friends to meet and have fun.B. A party to celebrate a traditional festival.C. A big event to welcome a Chinese new year.D. A social gathering to raise money for wildlife.15. How much do you have to pay in total if four of you go together?A. $ 20.B. $ 40C. $ 60.D. $ 80.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。

But unlike many of his classmates at Shanghai's Foreign Languages High School, Chen did not set his sights on Harvard, Yale, or any of the other Ivy League schools；__41___ he applied to Bowdoin College, a small, elite liberal-arts college in Maine. Chen received a full scholarship to study psychology, and he later added economics as a second ___42_____.Now in his senior year, Chen has become such a devotee of the liberal-arts approach that he's made it his ___43____ to spread the word throughout China. He has coauthored a book called A True Liberal Arts Education, which essentially explains the little-known concept to Chinese students and their parents. "Most Chinese people only know about Harvard, Yale, and Princeton," he says __44____ coffee in a Shanghai café during his winter vacation. Though there have been many books about how to get into Ivy League universities, "there was not a single book in China about the smaller liberal-arts colleges," he says. Chen, 23, explains that he was won over by Bowdoin's___45_____to developing skills for life, rather than simply for the workplace. "Liberal arts is about fostering your identity," he says. "They want to__46____ your mind. You may not remember all the knowledge you've learned after four years, but they want you to know how to learn."Yet he admits that liberal arts may be a hard sell in a country with an ___47____ competitive job market. The book states that in the short term, a liberal-arts education won't improve job prospects. "In China, employers are looking for someone who can come in and start working ___48___ when they graduate, not someone who still needs to be trained in practical skills," Chensays. At the same time, he argues that many employers say liberal-arts graduates perform better over the long term.Over the past couple of years, ___49____ from China to U.S. liberal-arts colleges have risen significantly. Bowdoin now has 300 Chinese applicants a year, compared with 100 a couple of years ago.III.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers, she in special education．"Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say．In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation．It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose．Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's hometown of Sevier, Tennessee．“I thought, maybe Linda and I c ould do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls．He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder”.Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library. com．The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts．The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters．Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see．“We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda．The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama series．Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work．Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area．Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children．“Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim．“Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”65．What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?A．His health problem B．His love for teachingC．The influence of his wife D．The news from the Web．66．What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?A．Give out brochures．B．Do something similar．C．Write books for children D．Retire from being a teacher．67．Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?A．To avoid signing up online．B．To meet Dollywood board members．C．To make sure the books were the newest．D．To see if the books were of good quality．68．What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?A．He needs more money to help the children． B．He wonders why some people are so busy．C．He tries to save those waiting to die．D．He considers his efforts worthwhile(B)DONALD SLOANGates Hall University of Kansas Lawrence, KS 66045 913-243-1682 After May 2009:46 Clayton Drive St. Louis, MO 63130 314-726-8840Objective To work with the client (委托人) population in a social service position.

This passage is most probably ______.A. an advertisement for enrolling new employeesB. a school report at the end of an academic yearC. a self-introduction meant to apply for a jobD. a part of a recommendation letter from a university70. According to the “Experience” section, we can infer that Donald Sloan can be _____.A. a wise leaderB. a skillful performerC. a gifted scientistD. a good social worker71. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Donald Sloan is a postgraduate of University of Kansas, majoring in social services.B. Donald Sloan has performed surgeries in Danyers General HospitalC. Donald Sloan worked in Fairview Nursing Home before he assisted in Danyers General HospitalD. Donald Sloan did the voluntary work offering advice on teenager problems over the phone72. From the passage we can learn that Donald Sloan ______.A. is good at singing and dancingB. is about to graduate from a universityC. has an interest in being a surgeonD. specializes in psychology(C)Ruth Simmons joined Goldman Sachs’s board as an outside director in January 2000: a year later she became president of Brown University. For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much criticism. But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldman’s compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked? By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. The position was just taking up too much time, she said.Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful, yet less biased advisers on a firm’s board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere, they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive’s proposals. If the sky and the share price is falling, outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises.The researchers from Ohio University used a database hat covered more than 10,000 firms and more than 64,000 different directors between 1989 and 2004. Then they simply checked whichdirectors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departing a board was age, so the researchers concentrated on those “surprise” disappearances by directors under the age of 70. They found that after a surprise departure, the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases, and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive, it does not mean that such directors are always jumping off a sinking ship. Often they “trade up.” Leaving riskier, smaller firms for larger and more stable firms.But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks, even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough times may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons, once again very popular on campus.73. According to Paragraph 1, Ms. Simmons was criticized for __________.A. gaining excessive profitsB. failing to fulfill her dutyC. refusing to give inD. leaving the board in tough times74. We learn from Paragraph 2 that outside directors are supposed to be __________.A. generous investorsB. unbiased executivesC. share price forecastersD. independent advisers75. According to the researchers from Ohio University after an outside director’s surprise departure,the firm is likely to ______________.A. become more stableB. report increased earningsC. do less well in the stock marketD. perform worse in lawsuits76. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that outside directors _____________.A. may stay for the attractive offers from the firmB. have often had records of wrongdoings in the firmC. are accustomed to stress-free work in the firmD. will decline incentives from the firm(D)As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating and transmission system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases thelandownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West. 77．What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?A．Small towns along the railways became abandoned. B．Some railroad stops remained underused.C．Land in the West was hard to manage. D．Land grants went into private hands.78．What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?A．The transmission of power. B．The use of money and power. C．The conservation of solar energy. D．The selection of an ideal place. 79．What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?A．Cautious B．Approving C．Doubtful D．Disapproving 80．Which is the best title for the passage?A．How the Railways Have Affected the WestB．How Solar Energy Could Reshape the WestC．How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be ReducedD．How the Problems of the Highways Have Been SettledSection C: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. F=A+EA. Life in the blue-water worldB. Diving tours around the worldC. Options to meet various interestsD. Necessary equipment to ensure safetyE. Experiences on scuba-diving holidaysAE. Experienced staff to keep you company81.__________________________Have you ever wondered what it might be like to live under the sea? Imagine the feeling of freedom you would have swimming through the clear, blue water deep beneath the waves, admiring the different types of corals, unusual plants and the creatures that call the sea bed home. Passing turtles are swimming above you, while bright and colorful groups of fish are travelling alongside you through the depths. All of this is possible on one of our scuba（水中呼吸器）-diving holidays! 82.____________________________International Diving Tours can prepare you for the experience of a lifetime. On our scuba-diving holidays, you will have the opportunity to swim in some of the most beautiful locations in the world, where you can explore underwater caves and coral reefs, and witness some of the strangest and most wonderful creatures on the planet. Not only will you have one of the most exciting times of your life, but you will also come back from your trip feeling calm and relaxed. 83.____________________________We offer several different holiday options for you to choose from. Our sales people can plan and organize the best trip for you, all for the best price! Options include the chance to explore some of the most famous ancient shipwrecks hidden beneath the ocean, or, if you prefer the natural world, we also offer tours of the world-famous Great Barrier Reef in Australia. We even offer the chance to swim with dolphins or venture into a shark cage, where behind the safety of a metal barrier you can watch these fierce beasts go about their daily life.84. ____________________________All the necessary equipment for your underwater adventure is provided, from wetsuits designed to fit all body shapes, to the latest scuba masks to help you see when you are exploring the world beneath the sea. For longer dives, we provide tanks of oxygen that can let you dive for up to four hours. All of our equipment is checked regularly to ensure that you remain safe at all times.85.______________________________Our instructors are among the best in the world. They will show you how to swim in your scuba equipment and how to communicate with hand signals under water, which is vital for deep-sea diving. They will also make sure you understand how to return to the surface safely, since rising too quickly can cause a number of health problems. Most importantly, however, they will make sure you have fun.IV. Translation: (15%)86. 如果你方便的话，请你帮我在网上订购两张音乐会的票。

The 16 family in colonial（殖民时期的）North America was mainly concerned with survival and 17 that, its own economic prosperity. Thus, children were 18 in terms of their producitivity（生产能力），and they played the role of producer quite early. 19 they fulfilled this role, their position in the family was one of subordination(附属）.With the 20 of the society, the position of children in the family and in the society became more important. In the complex and technological society 21 the United States has become , each 22 must fulfill a number of personal and occupational 23 and be in contact with many other members. 24 , viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are 25 more as people in their own right than as those of subordination. This acceptance of children as 26 participants in the family is reflected in various laws 27 the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.This new 28 of children and the frequent contact between the members of society has also 29 an increasing interest in child-raising techniques. People today spend much time 30 the proper way to 31 children.Nowadays, the socialization of the child in the United States is a 32transaction（事务）between parent and child 33 a one-way parent-to-child training 34 .As a consequence, socializing children and 35 with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure, satisfaction, and problems.16A. poor B. ordinary C. happy D. wealthy17.

The chimp died on Tuesday night, according to Roger and Diborah Fouts, co-founders of The Chimpanzee and Human Communications Institute in Washington, where she lived.Washoe was born in 1965 in Africa, where she was captured by the Air Force and taken to the US for research use in the space program. In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language (ASL) in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington University’s Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu,31, Loulis, 29, and Dar,31.Primate (灵长类) researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts’ book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Goger, through his ongoing conversations wi th Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzee’s mind,” Goodall said.Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoe’s language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans. Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language.36. As for its first task, Washoe was involved with_________A. some space researchB. a study on African animalsC. an ASL projectD. the program of training the Air Force37. In Goodal l’s opinion, teaching Washoe ASL _________A. was not successfulB. led to the book Next of KinC. won honor for FoutsD. made a difference38. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means _________A. supportedB. studiedC. questionedD. discussed39. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on WashoeB. Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signingC. Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or soD. The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Washoe was the first animal to be taught human languageB. Washoe, the chimp, was named in honor of a placeC. There were four chimps in total at Ellensburg CampusD. Chomsky believed primates only perform silent signsBSustainable management is seen as a practical and economical way of protecting species from dying out. Instead of depending on largely ineffective laws against poaching(偷猎), it gives local people a good economic reason to preserve plants and animals. In Zimbabwe, for instance, there is a sustainable management project to protect elephants. Foreign tourists pay large sums of money to kill these animals for sports. This money is then given to the inhabitants of the area where the hunting takes place. In theory, locals will be encouraged to protect elephants, instead of poaching them because of the economic benefit involved.This sounds like a sensible strategy, but it remains to be seen whether it will work. With corruption in these developing countries, some observers are skeptical that the money will actually reach the people it is intended for. Others wonder how effective the locals will be at stopping poachers.Sustainable management of forests requires controls on the number of trees which are cut down, as well as investment in replacing them. Because almost all tropical forests are located in countries which desperately need funds from logging, there are few regulations and motive to do this.One solution might be to confirm wood comes from sustainably managed forests. In theory, consumers would buy only this wood and so force logging companies to go “green” or go out of business. Unfortunately, unrestricted logging is so much more profitable that wood prices from managed forests would cost up to five times more ---an increase that consumers, no matter how “green”, are unlikely to pay.41. Which of the following statements is TRUR in understanding the “sustainable ma nagement”?A. Sustainable management is usually used in commercial unitsB. Sustainable management is more powerful than lawsC. We will probably meet many problems in the course of applying SustainablemanagementD. It is likely that Sustainable management will replace the laws in protectingliving things42. The example of Zimbabwe is mentioned in the first paragraph is to _________A. prove that Sustainable management is ineffectiveB. explain what Sustainable management isC. show that tourism there is boomingD. illustrate (阐述) that people there are good at making money with elephants43. The phrase “go green” in paragraph 5 probably means ________A. a company begins to make money instead of being in redB. making the forests always green in colorC. operating in ways which do not damage the environmentD. starting from the very beginning44. What is the passage mainly about?A. What environmental protection mainly includeB. The feasibility (可行性) of Sustainable management in environmentalprotectionC. Different people’s attitudes towards Sustainable managementD. How people can protect animals and plants45. What attitude does the author take towards the Sustainable management?A. PositiveB. PessimisticC. NegativeD. UncertainCA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of somefour-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated(沮丧) and inflexible(固守己见的)。
