The passages have been rearranged with some going in one direction and others going in another. The passages have been pushed closer together, making it harder to get through them. All of the items have been moved from their usual spots as well.It seems that all of these changes have been for the purpose of slowing the shoppers down so they will make more impulse (冲动) buys and give the store bigger profits.As I walked through the store today, no one was smiling and everyone was unhappy about it. The change that bothered me most, however, was in the check-out passages. Only a few cashiers were left working with most sections being changed into self-scanning check-outs. It saddened me to see this. I knew that people were probably going to lose their jobs because of this change.I got in a cashier passage and patiently waited when I saw some other people struggling to figure out how the self-scanning machines worked. I vowed at that moment never to use one myself even if I had to wait longer every time I shopped there.When I finally arrived at the front of the passage I saw the cashier was someone I knew.I smiled and asked her how her family was doing. She smiled back with a warmth and kindness that touched my soul.We chatted happily when she scanned and bagged up my groceries. I felt a friendship and a connection with her that warmed my heart. I wished her well before I left and wished good luck to her and all the other hard working cashiers there.Machines can do a lot for us, but there are many things they can't do. They can't smile. They can't love. They can't touch a heart. Only we can do that. Only we can make life worth living.It is time we realize that profits aren't more important than people, and machines aren't more important than us. It is time we see that we are here not to conquer the world but to be a part of it. It is time we learn that each other, and this world is what life is all about.26. What's the purpose of remodeling the store according to the writer?A. To enlarge the size of the store.B. To increase profits of the store.C. To attract more customers to shop there.D. To make shopping there more convenient.27. What makes the writer the saddest?A. The passages have been rearranged.B. It's hard to get through the passages.C. The items have been removed from their usual spots.D. Most cashiers have been replaced by self-scanning machines.28. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The writer loved communicating with cashiers.B. Self-scanning machines sometimes didn't work.C. The cashier helped the writer save a lot of time.D. The writer struggled to figure out how the self-scanning machines worked.29. What can we learn from the passage?A. The writer wasn't pleased with the cashier.B. The writer will not shop there in the future.C. The writer waited for a long time to check out.D. It's easy for people to use the self-scanning machines.30. What can we infer from the passage?A. People can live without machines.B. The world will be better with machines.C. Profits are the most important things for stores.D. We should be connected with each other in the world.DDo you feel like your brain is in serious overdrive? If the answer is yes, it means that your mind is waving a red flag, begging you to free up some head space.Just like our cabinets and cupboards, our minds need tidying up from time to time. Getting rid of all that nonessential mental baggage is important to stay focused, motivated and productive. Here are some simple yet effective tips to help you declutter your mind in no time.⯁Set Priorities (优先次序)Famous American poet Bill Copeland said, "The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score." Prioritizing is a great way to actively take charge of your life. The first step is to figure out what are the things that matter the most to you, your life dreams and your long-term goals. Prepare a list of your top priorities. Make sure that your decisions and the actions you take reflect the priorities you set. The next step is to create an action plan to meet those set goals, and to work on how you want to divide your time to focus on each item on that list.⯁Avoid MultitaskingI know it sounds counter-productive. While there's no harm in occasional multitasking, constant juggling between tasks limits your attention span, increases stress and creates additional mess by making it difficult for your brain to filter (过滤) out irrelevant information. In fact, a study shows that heavy multitasking lowers efficiency and may damage your cognitive control. The solution is to single-task as much as possible. Make a list of things you need to accomplish that day. Keep it simple and realistic. Start with what's the most important and make your way down, completing one task at a time.⯁Share Your ThoughtsTalking to a loved one about how you feel is a great way to release depressed emotions. Sharing yourthoughts with others can also help you look at things from a fresh perspective which can help you think clearer and make better decisions.⯁Limit the Amount of Media IntakeThe media you consume has a huge effect on your mental health. We spend hours online. This large amount of information can cause stress and anxiety.Limiting the amount of information you consume is necessary to get rid of all that media-related mess from your mind. You can start by setting a limit on the amount of time you spend on social media. Also, be selective about your media consumption. Avoid negative content, follow only reliable media outlets.⯁Take Some Time to UnwindLast but not least, take a break! Your brain needs to rest in order to perform smoothly. So switch off your phones and laptops. Do something that makes you feel happy, such as a long nap or a walk in the park.31. How many suggestions are given in the passage?A. Four.B. Five.C. Six.D. Seven.32. What does the underlined word "declutter" in paragraph 2 mean in the passage?A. Clear.B. Empty.C. Relax.D. Change.33. Multitasking will do harm to your mind except by ________.A. Adding messB. Increasing pressureC. Damaging emotional controlD. Limiting your attention span34. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The goal.B. The task.C. The mind.D. The list.35. Where can we find this passage?A. In a science fiction.B. In a magazine.C. In an advertisement.D. In a dictionary.EZhang Dingyu, the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, one of the hospitals in Wuhan, which is designated to admit patients infected with the novel coronavirus, has been so busy lately that he barely gets any sleep. Sometimes he goes to bed at about 2 a.m. and gets up around 4 a.m..Along with more than 600 colleagues, the 57-year-old doctor has been seeing and treating patients since the hospital received the first seven people with novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), which has caused hundreds of deaths in central China's Hubei Province.Zhang's strange way of walking shocked his colleagues and patients. He finally admitted that he had fallen ill with ALS (渐冻症) since October 2018 after constant researches. ALS is a disease that gradually blocks the connection between brain and body. People with ALS become partially paralyzed (瘫痪的) leading to respiratory failure. "My leg muscles have become weaker because of atrophy," he said.But he's doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for patients infected with the new virus in Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak. Zhang's wife of 28 years, also a medical staff working at another hospital in Wuhan, was infected with the coronavirus and hospitalized on Jan. 19. The bad news brought him to his knees, and he cried for the first time after the virus broke out. But Zhang continues working tirelessly, and though it's a struggle to move quickly, he said, "I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease." Zhang could only find time to visit his wife until three days after she got admitted to the hospital. Even then he could only stay for 30 minutes. Fortunately, the good news came that his wife had recovered ten days after treatment."I have never felt such pressure as today," he added. "For me, ALS is like a sword hanging in the air," he said. He is desperately making full use of every single minute of his life, which he knows is counting down. Zhang, an expert in infectious disease prevention, has been on the front line of medical emergencies for decades, including the devastating Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan province in 2008 and overseas medical relief missions to Algeria and Pakistan.Zhang has been on duty every day since Dec. 29. "Life is always short. I need to do more to finish the things that I might leave behind, then I would leave without too many regrets," Zhang said. "We are at the center of a storm, so we need to give all we have to protect our city and our Wuhan people. I believe we'll conquer this disease," he said confidently.36. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Zhang works in Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital.B. Zhang can't walk normally because of ALS.C. Zhang is making full use of his time to save his wife.D. Zhang's colleagues didn't know his illness of ALS at first.37. Which of the following words best described Zhang Dingyu?A. Strict and kind.B. Strong and proud.C. Serious and smart.D. Hardworking and responsible.38. In what order did the following events take place?a. Zhang began to see and treat patients infected with the NCP.b. Zhang was attacked by ALS, a kind of disease that weakened his leg muscles.c. Zhang's wife was infected with the coronavirus and got admitted to hospital.d. Zhang and his medical team performed medical services in Algeria and Pakistan.A. d-b-a-cB. d-a-b-cC. b-a-d-cD. b-d-a-c39. What does Zhang Dingyu mean in the last paragraph?A.

I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, so my injured sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me. Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions. When kids played games, I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me.Yet Mom would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to rely on thatsaying. As a child, I thought mum meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking.”As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster.All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance.”My mom’s love was the spark that gave me confidence. I had faced hardships, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion (同情) for others.“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my Mom gave me lives on.26. The word carefree in the first line probably means “__________” in Chinese.A.⽆忧⽆虑的B. ⽆拘⽆束的C. ⼩⼼翼翼的D. 与众不同的27. Why did the writer imagine that everyone looked down on her?A. She felt bad about her appearance.B. She found it hard to act as a monster.C. Kids refused to play games with her.D. People always asked her embarrassing questions.28. Why did the writer’s mum say “Hold your head up high” to her?A. To tell her to be careful.B. To help her hide the shame.C. To stop her from getting hurt.D. To make her more confident.29. From the story, we can know that__________.A. the writer understood the saying very well as a child.B. the writer felt like everyone else in high school.C. the writer is living with a warm and brave heart now.D. the writer has deep compassion for other all her life.30. The passage is mainly about__________.A. what the writer experienced when she was 15.B. what the writer did to show thanks for mum’s gift.C. how the writer changed herself with mum’s love.D. the writer has become confident with her great efforts.BThere are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one．It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in ourmind' and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. The n why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light witha certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refusethe colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll benervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.31. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us __________.A. a red box is heavier than a white oneB. a color has weight in one’s mindC. white paper is lighter than red paperD. you can know the weight of a color by holding it32. Why did the scientist say colors have smell?A. Because people can sense the light from colors.B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.33. If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will __________.A. riseB. fallC. stay the sameD. change now and then34. It can be implied from the text that __________.A. colors have orders in weightB. colors can change the weight of an objectC. people would stay longer in a room with red windowsD. colors can affect our mood and health35.

（A）“Can I have a glass of hot water?” This is a very common question in a restaurant. For many Chinese people, nothing is more common than drinking hot water every day. However, the simple habit is like a mystery to people from other countries.For many Westerners, the idea of drinking hot water is very strange. However, most Chinese people think the Americans’ habit of dri nking ice water is also strange and even unhealthy. Some old people would carry a tea kettle (茶壶) when they travel. Chinese doctorsare encouraging more people to take on the habit of drinking hot water, especially for women.But in Western countries, drinking hot water isn't common. Westerners often have drinks with ice, not just on hot days but almost every day.There is a story online about a British man, who has been in Beijing for over five years. He visited a local café when going back to England. He asked for a glass of hot water in a British accent (口音). But this request surprised the waitress. “To...to...to drink?” she doubted.Finally, the man received the hot water but felt cold stares from every corner of the café.Westerners wonder why Chinese people drink hot water as Chinese are wondering why Westerners drink cold water. This cultural difference is not a simple problem, but related to (与……有关联) history, culture and science.As matter of fact, many teenagers now depend on bottled water for daily drinking. With the younger generation growing up, will drinking hot water become a less popular life habit? Who knows?26.What do most Chinese think of dinking icy water from the passage?A.Normal and healthy.B. Strange but healthy.C. Normal but unhealthy.D. Strange and unhealthy.27.Who is especially advised to drink hot water by Chinese doctors?A.Westerners.B. Students.C. Women.D. The elderly.28.What's the meaning of the underlined part in the fourth paragraph?A.Other people in the restaurant were angry at the man's request.B.Other people in the restaurant laughed at the man.C.Other people in the restaurant thought the man's request was strange.D.Other people in the restaurant were interested in the man's request.29.What can be inferred (推断) from the passage?A.Drinking hot water is very good for health.B.Drinking cold water is very harmful to health.C.Different drinking habits are probably related to different cultures.D.More and more people will take a tea kettle for daily drinking.30.What's the best title for the passage?A.Different Drinking HabitsB.Drinking Hot Water in ChinaC.Healthy Life HabitsD.How to Drink Water（B）The history of Chinese characters dates back to ancient times, with the history of at least several thousand years.There are many tales and legends about the origin of hanzi, Chinese characters: there is Cangjie, the legendary inventor of Chinese charater; the ancient practice of knot-tying; the eight trigrams (八卦); and ancient painting legends to name a few. It is generally agreed thathanzi began as simple pictures, images that the ancient Chinese people drew, painted or carved to describe nature or their lives. Other ancient cultures developed picture-based writing systems as well, such as the hieroglyphs ( 象形文字) of ancient Egypt or the script of theancient Mayan civilization. Hanzi, however, is the only one of these ancient writing systems to survive.Today, Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used system of writing in the world. Researchers generally agree that the oldest symbols recognizable as Chinese charactersare those found on ancient oracle bones (甲骨文). These 3000-year-old symbols, known as, jiaguwen, were carved on turtle shells or bones of animals. The jiaguwen can give all of us in the modern era insight into how ancient Chinese saw the world around them and into their great creativity in expressing their observations. Take, for example, the modern character jia, meaning home or family. The jiaguwen character looks like a house with a nice pig inside, originating from the ancient idea that a good family home has plenty of food. Over thousands of years, this hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms but finally developed in a more stable manner after the unification of China under Emperor Qinshihuang,When you first look at Chinese characters, you will most likely feel that they are very complicated. However, if you know just a little about how these characters are formed, youwill find that they are not nearly as difficult as they seem. About 80% of Chinese charactersare composed of smaller parts, known ns radicals (部首), which are combined in many different ways to form tens of thousands of hanzi. Fortunately, you need to know only about two or three thousand characters for use in daily life!As China takes its place in the international community, the Chinese writing system has spread toother countries. Today, many international students are studying Chinese, both the spoken and written language, and are coming to appreciate China's fascinating culture. And,as China's culture and society have continued to develop, the amazingly versatile (多功能的)Chinese characters (hanzi) have been adapted for use in digital format on computers and other devices. And so written Chinese lives on, spreading Chinese culture wherever it goes.31.According to the passage, we can learn that Chinese characters .A.have a long history with seven thousand yearsB.began as simple picturesC.are the only one ancient writing systemD.are so complicated that nobody can understand32.Why did the writer mention Emperor Qinshihuang in the passage?A.Because he was the inventor of Chinese characters.B.Because hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms.C.Because he helped developed hanzi in a more stable manner.D.Because he unified China and created hanzi.33.What can we learn from the underlined sentence (划线句子) in Paragraph 4?A.Radicals are smaller parts which can be combined to form hanzi.B.Chinese characters are composed of radicals.C.Chinese characters can be combined.D.Radicals can be combined into thousands of hanzi only.34.What may the writer probably talk about Chinese characters in the next paragraph?A.The relation between Chinese characters and Chinese culture.B.Tips for foreigners on how to learn Chinese well.C.Another Chinese traditional culture.D.The origin of Chinese characters.35.What is NOT true about the jiaguwen?A.The jiagnwen is known as the oldest Chinese character.B.From the jiaguwen, we can know how ancient Chinese saw the world.C.The, jiaguwen was invented 3000years ago.D.We can find the jiaguwen on turtle bones.（VolunteersWe Need Your HelpAbout the activity:The sports and mentoring (辅导) program (S.M.P) was set up to help left-behind children(留守儿童) in schools.Place and time:●Each volunteer will be sent to one primary or middle school in Jurong GRC.●Weekday afternoons.●Volunteers will have one meeting weekly, 1.5 hours per meeting.Requirements:●Age 18 and above.●You should be there for at least six to nine months.●A four-day training course will be held at Boys' Town to train volunteer mentors.●Retirees ( 退休人员), working professionals and university students are welcome to take part in itas well.Volunteers’ Advantages:You will learn how to understand and better communicate with children.If you are interested, please call Ms. Yao at 6567-4166 or send an e-mail to cindy@ for an interview.C）36.If you become a volunteer in the activity, you should work for at least .A.1.5 hours per dayB. four days a weekC. half a yearD. a year37.The purpose of the volunteer activity is to .A.give a hand to poor peopleB.help left-behind childrenC.keep children in school safeD.solve children's money problems38.What should a volunteer do before being sent to a school?A.Take a training course.B.Work on weekend afternoons.C.Give up his own job.D.Pay some money.39.From the poster, we can learn about .A.volunteers’ backgroundsB. volun teers’ level of healthC. volunteers’ advantagesD. volunteers’ payment40.It’s clear that .A.volunteers have to attend a meeting once a monthB.Work on weekend afternoons.C.volunteers will have an interview with Ms. YaoD.volunteers should be at least 20 years old（D）Tsunami (海啸)：Killer WaveThe warnings are few. The signs are sudden. The ground shakes. The tide goes into reverse. A great roaring sound fills the air. And then… It strikes. Wave after wave of crashing, crushing water. And when it is over, nothing is left. A tsunami.The word in Japanese means “harbor wave”. Japan has been hit by many tsunamis in its history, as a result of its location. It lies across the edges of4 tectonic plates (地光板块). Mostearthquakes are born in such places. When two tectonic plates push together, the earthquake sends enormous amounts of energy up through the ocean. A series of waves expands in all directions. In deep water, these waves travel fast —up to 500 miles an hour —but reach a height of only a few feet. A passing ship may not even notice them. But as the waves enter shallow waters and come into contact with the ocean floor, their speed is reduced but their height is raised. As they move onto land, the waves can rise as high as a 10-story building.A tsunami wave doesn't break like an ordinary wave. Instead, it advances like a wall of water, crashing over everything in its way, sometimes reaching more than a kilometer inland. More damage is caused when the wave moves back out to sea. It drags everything in its path underwater and out to sea. Most tsunamis have several waves. They arrive between 10 and 60 minutes after the first strike —just when survivors think the danger has passed.The deadliest tsunami ever recorded occurred in December of 2004. An earthquake off the coast of Indonesia caused a tsunami that rushed across the Indian Ocean and reached as far as the coast of Africa. Whole sections of cities were destroyed. More than 200,000 people died.Most had no way of being warned. Five thousand miles away in Hawaii, scientists at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center monitor the earth’s movements 24 hours a day. They hope to prevent a similar disaster from happening in the Pacific region.

One of them showed us how 5 in through the windows into our room. It seems that the hotel has no locks on the windows. 6 we were a little worried, our concerns were forgotten 7 when we saw a good-sized bed, a flat-screen TV, a spa bath which more suggested a comfortable stay.Things started to go from bad to worse the following morning when I found the restaurant only served low-fat meals: six days of rabbit food and only 8 meat and fruit. What had I let myself in for? Nobody had told us what the food 9 like before we booked. I ordered my breakfast 10 my will anyway, but I had waited forty-five minutes for it to arrive. This was not the service 11 I had expected.That afternoon, when we returned from a tour around 12 university nearby, we found that nearly £200 13 from our room.

Her bike was too 1 , and it needed repairing as well. As Christmas 2 , her dream for a bike seemed to disappear(消失), we thought, for she didn't say it again. We were busy 3 some beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than 4 .Now we didn't know 5 to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing 6 presents, parents'presents, a brother's present and friends' presents till midnight. So there was 7 time to take to buy the "right bike" for our little girl. Thinking we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we felt sorry and 8 .Suddenly my husband had an idea. "What about making a little bike with clay (黏土) and writing a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one?" So he spent the next five hours carefully 9 with clay to make a small bike.10 Christmas morning, we were so excited for Tracy to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the 11 loudly. She looked at me and said, "So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real 12 ?" Smiling, I said, "Yes!" Tracy had tears in her e yes when she replied, ‘I would 13 trade in this beautiful bike Daddy made me. I 14 keep it than get a real bike.

The sun was shining and filled the kitchen with a warm light. It was a perfect day for having a picnic or going surfing. But in the Turners' kitchen, no one seemed to be paying attention to the 16 ."Okay, girls," said Mrs. Turner. "I can tell by the expressions on your faces that you have a pretty good idea of why we need to have this family 17 ." Linda and Kala exchanged looks and slowly nodded."Your mom and I have had many talks lately about the possibility of 18 ," said Mr. Turner. "We were hoping that it wouldn't come to this, 19 we don't have other choices.""But Dad," said Kala, "Kilauea has been an active volcano （火山）since 1983! Nothing has happened to us or to our house yet. I think we'll be 20 here.""But your dad and I care about all the recent warnings giving by the government. Even though we've been safe up to now, there is no way to guarantee （保证）that a larger eruption （喷发）isn't coming up," said Mrs. Turner."Mom, this is our 21 . I can't even remember living anywhere else!" Linda said, fighting back tears.Mrs. Turner put an arm around her daughter's shoulder. "This won't go 22 for any of us," she said. "Dad and I love this house, too. We have so many happy memories here. But we're tired of living with such uncertainty. The most 23 thing in the world to us is that our family stays safe."Mr. Turner 24 . "Girls, there are other places in Hawaii where we'll feel safer. We'll have to 25 our house, but you know home is wherever we go as a family. We'll make new 26 , and we'll find things to love about our new home."The girls were quiet for a moment as they considered 27 it would mean to move. "There are so many things I'll 28 here," said Kala quietly."We all will," said Mrs. Turner. "But one of the places that your dad and I have looked at is only a few minutes' walk to the beach."Kala and Linda couldn't help 29 when they heard that. They both spent every spare minute they had surfing. If their parents told them that they could actually live in the water, they would have been perfectly happy.Mr. Turner walked around to the other side of the table. He put one large hand on each of his daughter's shoulders. "I'm proud of you two," he said. "Thank you for trying to 30 why this is so important to your mom and me."Linda and Kala smiled.

Simard and her colleagues have made the major discovery that trees and plants really do communicate and interact with each other.Trees live on through their group work and support, passing around the resources such as nitrogen and carbon “depending on who needs it by miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is cut down, it affects all.Simard talks about "Mother Trees". These are the largest, oldest trees that rise above the forest, a concept explained in the movie Avatar. These “Mother Trees" are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down "Mother Trees" without paying attention to these highly complex "tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are losing the chances to save the whole forest."We didn't take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly. “Mother Trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could send this message tothe forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.31．Trees can share resources with other ones by________.A．the help from animals B．underground fungi networksC．the communication with people D．neurons in the system of brains 32．"Mother Trees" are very important because they________.A．bring wealth to the scientists B．pass on nutrition to young trees C．get more from the complex “tree societies”D．seem more likely to be cut down by humans33．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to________ .A．how trees grow old B．how "tree societies" workC．how young trees are saved D．how forestry industry develops 34．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Trees Are Rich in Resources B．Trees Are Good for Our Society C．Trees Are in Need of Protection D．Trees Are More Complex Than We Think Pollution inside homes and other buildings kills more than 4 million people each year．Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood﹣powered ofcoal﹣powered stoves．One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun．Crosby Menzies，a solar power expert in a South African company，described his latest solar cooker called t he“Sol.4”，”It is four square meters of mirrors，six to eight meters in length．It is quite a large cooler．”The“Sol.4”works by reflecting （反射）light from the sun off large mirrors．The mirrors direct （把…对准）the light at a cooking pan．Then the light heats the pan with solar energy．Within two minutes，the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions．In just four minutes，water can be boiled．That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity．The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because peo ple do not have to stand in the sun to use it．And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal．Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke．At present，the cooker only works when the sun is shining．But engineers are working on a试卷第6页，总10页way to make it work without sunlight ．Each cooker costs about $2000，which is a large amount of money for most Africans ．To solve that problem ，Crosby Menzies has crated a non ﹣governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa ．It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment ．35．This passage is mainly about ． A ．solar cookers B ．smoke pollution C ．solar power experts D ．breathing illnesses36．The “Sol ﹣4”is m ainly used to ． A ．shorten the time of cooking B ．reduce the cost of making cookersC ．raise money through donations to help African peopleD ．reduce the number of deaths caused by harmful smoke ．37．The underlined word “individuals“ most probably means“ ” A ．cookersB ．mirrorsC ．peopleD ．experts38．Which of the following about the “Sol ﹣4”is TRUE ？ A ．It is six to eight square meters of mirrors ． B ．It can work in any weather condition now C ．It can also heat the pan by lighting firewoodD ．It is more environment ﹣friendly than other cookers ． 39．From the passage ，we can infer that ． A ．the “Sol ﹣4”will be designed in a smaller size B ．more African can use the solar cookers in the future C ．the “Sol ﹣4”is the first product of the south African company D ．the African government will provide poor people with solar cookers ．My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3: @ kids FTF. ILNY, it's gr8.Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad. Neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: thelanguage of computerized communication found on Internet or mobile phones. To newcomers, it may look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the ‘translation' of the sentence above? It means: My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York, it's great.Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）.Everyone should just relax, say linguists（语言学家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"40．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A．To give an example of a foreign language. B．To show an example of creative methods. C．To express worries about using Netspeak. D．To lead in the topic of Netspeak. 41．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.B．Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.C．David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.D．James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.试卷第8页，总10页42．The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ________.

A1. Who is organizing the Festival of Books?A. Book TV.B. The Los Angeles Times.C. Natural History Museum.D. Los Angeles Public Library.2. How are the best book prizes chosen?A. By a group of experts.B. By a vote of the authors,C. By the reading public.D. By festival sponsors.3. What is true about tickets to the festival?A. They are only for published authors.B. They include transport to eachevent.C. They can only be applied for onlineD. They can be purchased at the eventlocation.BIn 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city —Beijing —had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point —more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively —crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offering solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people” reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages.Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The history of modern cities.B. Changes taking place within cities.C. How cities have grown over time.D. Why modern cities are changing.5. How have experts’ attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.6. Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.B. City people get along better with each other.C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.7. According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?A. Economic production would be reduced.B. There would be less farmland available.C. People would travel less frequently.D. House values would fall greatly.CIt was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started social ising with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.German troops held up Christmas trees with signs, “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it described.You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.8. The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.A. they couldn't bear the meaningless killingB. it was the best way to avoid being killedC. they feared that they would be caughtD. their enemies were from similar backgrounds9. How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socialising?A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.10. The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.A. satisfiedB. shockedC. amusedD. confused11. The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.A. are not trustworthy under stressB. are naturally aggressive and war-likeC. are basically caring and kindheartedD. will always do what is in their own self-interestDEarlier this year, the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organisations —including The New York Times, The Guardian, and the BBC—to place news stories directly into users’ personal Facebook webpage. Stories published using Facebook Instant will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher, who will keep all the advertising income the stories earn —at least for now. The deal shows how important social, media has become to news organisations, and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing —and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002, many saw it as the death of the newspaper. It had no human editor. Instead Google used, and still uses, a secret computer program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests. More recently, Associated Press and Yahoo!have been punishing computer-written articles. Both use special software to automatically produce stories about company financial results and sports reports —areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments? I think we should. One concern is that facebook, Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline, a way of putting people in front of advertisements. It isn’t their primary function —so if it stops making them lots of money, they're likely to stop doing it.There’s also a concern that computer-written articles are not actually journalism at all, because what a human news team produces is actually quite complex. A well-written news story puts information in context, offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a computer-written story over a carefully shaped article —at least for daily news —I don't think the computers will be writing any in-depth articles for a while yet.12. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To report on a new computer service offered by Facebook..B. To advise readers against reading computer-written news.C. To express concern about recent trends in online news.D. To describe the process of online news reporting.13. Computer-written news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because ________.A. these are the most popular topics for online readersB. there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasC. information on these topics is more easily availableD. writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas14. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Journalism.B. Advertising.C. Facebook.D. Business.15. In Paragraph 4, which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a well-written news article?A. The information presented is up-to-date.B. The author's opinion is clear.C. Different views on the topic are presented.D. The language used is vivid.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分l0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。
