I took my 9-year-old daughter, Suzan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping centre. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, “Petting Zoo”.The kids jumped up and asked, “Daddy, can we go?”
Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said, “Sure”,giving them both a quarter. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.
A petting zoo is made up of a hundred of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure(围场)pleased with the little animals.
A few minutes later, I saw Suzan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.She said sadly, “Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter.”Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto(座右铭),which is “Love is Action!”
I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Suzan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say “Love is Action!”for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become part of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It’s not only “Love is Action”;it’s “Love is SACRIFICIAL(牺牲的)Action!”Love always pays a price. I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo. Suzan stood with her hands and chin resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!

In a research on the effect of the transport sector(运输领域)on climate，it proves that road traffic contributes the most to global warming．The aviation(航天)sector has the second largest warming effect while shipping has a cooling effect on the Earth’s Climate．
The study concludes that since pre-industrial times，15％of CO₂ emissions(排放量) made by humans have come from the transport sector．The study implies that more attention needs to be paid to the fast growing road sector．Looking only at CO₂ emissions，road traffic alone has led to two-thirds of the warming caused by total transport emissions．The reason why road transport tops
the list is mainly due to the large number of vehicles on the roads and the smaller cooling effect from their emissions．The researchers said that the road emissions of today will make Up three quarters of the warming caused by transport over the next hundred years．
Following road transport，aviation is the second largest transport contributor to global warming．However, the historical contribution from aviation emissions to global warming is more than doubled the contribution from road emissions．In fact，over the next 100 years，today’s road emissions will have a cli mate effect that is four times higher than the climate effect from today’s aviation emissions．
For shipping，the picture is more complicated．Until now，shipping has had a cooling effect on climate．This is because shipping produces a large amount of S02，which has a cooling effect．However，although the gas，until now，has given the shipping industry a cooling effect，this effect will disappear after a while，as the gas doesn't last long in the atmosphere．The long-lived CO₂ will dominate(占优势)，giving shipping a warming effect in the long run．In general，the transport sector's contribution to global warming will be continuously high in the future．
66．What can we learn about road traffic?
A．It has the second largest warming effect on climate．
B．It produces l5％of all CO₂ into the air every year．
C．It created more CO₂ emissions than aviation in history．
D．Its CO₂ emissions will probably increase in future．
67．Shipping has a cooling effect because ．
A．shipping conditions have been improved
B．the amount of ships at sea is small
C．it produces a gas which has a cooling effect
D．the gas it produces can absorb CO₂
68．The underlined phrase in paragraph 4 probably means“”．
A．after a long time B．in a tiring race
C．all the time D．during a long voyage
69．The passage mainly talks about ．
A．the effect of CO₂ on global climate
B．the effect from traffic on global warming
C．how to choose a green way to travel
D．why transport produces so much CO₂
70．Compared with the gas CO2, what’s character does SO2 have?
A．It has cooling effect and last long
B．It has cooling effect but last only for a short time
C．It gives shipping a warming effect and last long
D．It gives a warming effect but disappear after a while
D
From the health point of view we are living in an amazing age．We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases．A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine．It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases, The expectation of life has increased greatly．But though the possibility of
living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men, women and children on the roads．Man vs the motor-cars! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing．Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen．
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel （方向盘）, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man's very worst qualities．People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel They say, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish．All their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving．
The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior．Everything is done for his convenience．Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year, to be easily forgotten．
It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life．With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are unbelievably lenient（宽容的）and even the strictest are not strict enough．A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate．Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done．The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should put through strict tests for safety each year．Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person's driving ability．Present drinking and driving laws （where they exist）should be made much stricter．Speed limits should be required on all roads．Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories, as has been done in the USA．All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned．These measures may not sound good enough．But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths．After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars．
71．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists．
B．Thousands of people the world over are killed each year．
C．The laws of some countries about driving are too lenient．
D．Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents．
72．What does the author think of society toward motorists?
A．Society laughs at the motorists．
B．Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns．
C．Victims of accidents are nothing．
D．Society forgives their rude driving．
73．What does the author mean by saying " his car becomes the extension of his personality" in paragraph 2?
A．Driving can show his hidden qualities．
B．Driving can show the other part of his personality．
C．Driving can bring out his character．
D．Driving can represent his manners．
74．Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?
A．Build more highways．
B．Stricter driving tests．
C．Test drivers every three years．
D．Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications．
75．The author's attitude towards the traffic situation is ______．
A．positive B．unsatisfied C．appealing D．unclear

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions like whether to cut class (逃课), try cigarettes, or lie to your parents. Making decisions on your own is hard, but when other people try to control you one way or another, it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers (同龄人). When they try to influence how you act, or to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure (压力).
Peers can have a good influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it.
Sometimes peers influence each other in bad ways. __________, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them, or your friend might try to persuade you to try cigarettes.
