In the spring of 1870, a young man called Jacob Riis traveled across the Atlantic Ocean to New York City, who came from Denmark. He was just twenty-one years old. In his first years in America it was difficult to get a job. Jacob Riis had to go from place to place seeking work. At last, Jacob Riis got a job writing for a newspaper in New York City.
This was his chance. He finally found a profession that would lead to his life work—making the world a better place for poor people. The newspaper sent him to police headquarters for stories. There he saw life at its worst, especially in a very poor part of New York which was known as Mulberry Bend. People had no way of finding out how terrible the lives of people were in Mulberry Bend. But as a newspaper reporter, he could find the truth. And he wrote many stories about the life there. Riis started a personal war against slum houses (贫民窟), the sort he saw in Mulberry Bend. He also worked to get laws against child labor, and made sure that these laws were obeyed. And he helped establish centers for older people.
His book, How the Other Half Lives, was published in 1890. He became famous. Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, called Riis the most useful citizen in New York City. Riis continued to write about conditions that were in need of major reform. His twelve books, including Children of the Poor, helped improve conditions in the city. The books also made him popular as a speaker in other cities. Jacob Riis’s concern for the poor kept him so busy writing and speaking around the country that he ruined his health. He died in 1914.

Beijing was once a city of bikes, known as the Bicycle Kingdom for the millions of two-wheelers that dominated (支配) urban transport. Decades of remarkable economic growth, beginning in the 1990s, led to a huge flood of cars in cities like Beijing. And as the economy developed, autos pushed bikes off the roads, creating heavy pollution and miserable traffic. Now, Beijing may be returning to its roots with a modern twist. Thanks to about two dozen technology start-ups, brightly-colored shared bikes have flooded Beijing since last year, dotting a normally dull cityscape with flashes of bumblebee yellow, kingfisher blue and tangerine.
Costing as little as 7 cents per half-hour and designed to take people the last leg from public transport to their places of work or entertainment, the bikes have the potential to transform urban living and even shape people’s decisions about where to live and work. Those are vital issues in this area of about 20 million people, many of whom spend hours a day commuting (通
勤)．
Riding the bikes requires only a few taps on a smartphone. Customers download one of the start-ups apps,electronically transfer a deposit and then pay per ride by using a bike’s individual code. Bikes that rely on mobile technology feel right at home in a place like Beijing, where even elderly people are often early adapters of technology. Some companies offer booking services and even GPS to enable riders to find the nearest pair of wheels. If a rider finds one, he or she can pick up the bike and then ride and drop it off anywhere he or she likes, locking the back wheel, with no need to find a stand or retie it, in contrast to city bike programs in Paris or New York.
1.What’s the author’s purpos e in writing Paragraph 1?
A. To talk about Beijing’s rapid development.
B. To introduce several technology start-ups.
C. To express his opinions about shared bikes.
D. To tell us Beijing’s returning to cycling past.
2. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 refer to ________.
A. colors of bikes
B. names of cities
C. brands of cars
D. sights of Beijing
3. How much will you pay if you ride a shared bike for one hour and a half?
A. 7 cents.
B. 14 cents.
C. 21 cents.
D. 28 cents.
4. What is a must if you want to use a shared bike?
A. Enough cash.
B. A smartphone.
C. High technology.
D. GPS receiver.

Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years,but not everything that is said about them is good.Mobiles are frequently blamed for a number of things,from thumb injuries and headaches to house fires.1
The theory is that the bees navigation(导航) systems are damaged by the radiation that is given off by mobile phones.Bees have a built-in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hive.But recently,thousands of bees have failed to find their way home. 2
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more complicated than it at first seems.The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated(授粉) by them.3Many beekeepers in America and Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees.Jim Piper,a London beekeeper,was recently asked how the problem was affecting him.“My business has been ruined by this,”he explained,“twenty-nine of my forty hives are now empty.”
4However,the fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers is real.And we can’t manage without them.Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared,man would only live for four more years! 5If the mobile phone theory is correct,we need to do something about it immediately—before it’s too late.
A.Bees are losing their way.
B.Nobody has proved the theory is true.
C.More evidence is provided to support the theory.
D.It is believed that they are dying far from their hives.
E.Without bees,the crops can’t continue to grow.
F.The situation needs to be evaluated by the world’s best scientists.
G.One theory even blames mobile phones for the disappearance of bees.

第二节概要写作(共1小题；每小题25分，满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

In places like California, the Rocky Mountains, and the Southern United States, wildfires are an unavoidable reality.
Wildfires can cause damage to property and human life, but they have many beneficial effects on native vegetation (植被), animals, and ecosystems that have evolved with fires.The forests, including pine barrens, lodgepole pine forests and many more, require fires to reproduce because the trees in the forest are adapted to only produce seeds following a major fire event.Therefore, without them many of these forest types would decline.
A fire renews the watershed (集水区) in ways including, but not limited to, recycling of nutrients, increasing food sources for fish in streams，supplement to stream－side vegetation，spread of fire－adapted plants，etc.not to mention renewal of the soil chemistry which is vital to the forest and the watershed.The basis is that of someone who has studied wildfires and streams since the 1988 Yellowstone wildfires.The science backs up how natural wildfires can be favorable through research publication after publication.
It’s like“resetting the clock”on the ecosystem，allowing the forest to function smoothly all over again for another 200 years.By the way, a stand burning fire such as the Yellowstone fires of 1988 also results in the landscape of younger forest mends which act to reduce the spread of future wildfires and can stop a major wildfire in its tracks.
The bo ttom line is that we may need today’s natural wildfires to prevent more serious catastrophic fire events in the future.That lesson was learned in Yellowstone in 1988 which was a year of disastrous large－scale fires after more than 50 years of fire suppression (压制)．。
