AA few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea.“It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.”“Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.”She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated.That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years.“While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors oftheir classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.”But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter, or someone in need who you meet on the street.1.How did the homeless man’s words affect Lichtman?A.They caused her to start KKGS.B.They pushed her to go to college.C.They encouraged her to house the homeless.D.They made her continue to give out sandwiches.2.How did Lichtman’s classmates react to her request for donation?A.Some refused it politely.B.They strongly supported it.C.Some felt quite surprised by it.D.They considered it unreasonable.3.What advice does the author offer to people?A.Take action in small ways.B.Start your own organization.C.Make donations from an early age.D.Find creative ways to help people.BFor most of us, there is no debate — bananas are yellow. Color isn’t as objective as you might think though. Our brain decides what color we are looking at based on the light that comes into our eyes, and how we see colors actually varies a lot.There are many ways color can confuse our brains. Positioning and shading can change what we think we are looking at. Two people can see the same thing very differently because of how our brains deal with light.How we see color, however, is governed by much more than just our bodies. Our emotions or even the time of year, can change how our eyes and brains react to what we see. Yellow looks different to us depending on the season, according to scientists at the University of York. In the summer yellow appears more “greenish” whereas in the winter yellow appears more “reddish”. This is the result of living in an environment where the level of green light increases in the summer. When the trees are full of leaves, our eyes need to adapt. With extra green all around us, our brain has to recheck its understanding of yellow.Researchers in Rochester, New York have found that feeling sad can impact on your ability to identify (辨别) colors. Participants were shown some small pieces of cloth which had most, but not all, of the colors removed from them. Later, they were asked to identify what color they were looking at. A group who had watched the death of Mufasa in The Lion King found it harder to pick out blue and yellow than others who had not seen the film. Psychologists believe that dopamine — which controls our brain’s reward and pleasure centers — has an impact on how we identify these colors. So while color might seem to be one of the simplest things in our world, it is actually a mystery scientists are only just beginning to solve.4.What does the passage mainly focus on?A.Why we see colors differently.B.How our brains receive colors.C.Why colors affect our emotions.D.How people can identify colors.5.Which of the following is unable to affect people’s ability to identify colors?A.Position.B.Intelligence.C.Environment.D.Feeling.6.Yellow looks different in summer and winter because of ___________.A.people’s different sightB.the different temperaturesC.the different levels of green lightD.people’s different body conditions7.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.The sad feeling weakens people’s ability to identify colors.B.We can find out the secret of dopamine in some movies.C.Scientists have found the answer to the color mystery.D.There are many ways that color can entertain our brains.CNurses play a vital role on the front lines of the novel coronavirus(冠状病毒）pandemic. But a shortage of these essential health care workers could pose challenges in countries dealing with a growing number of COVID-19 cases."One of the lessons I hope the world learns from COVID-19 is that we must invest in nurses ," said World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus during a speech Tuesday in celebration of World Health Day.WHO's new "State of the World's Nursing 2020" report has identified a global shortage of 5.9 million nurses. Many of those gaps are found in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean, and parts of Latin America.Among regions of the world, the Americas have the highest density of nurses at 83.4 per 10,000 people, followed by Europe with 79.3 nurses per 10,000 people. In contrast, there are 8.7 nurses per 10,000 people in Africa, 15.6 nurses per 10,000 people in the Eastern Mediterranean region, 16.5 nurses per 10,000 people in Southeast Asia, and 36 nurses per 10,000 people in the Western Pacific.But there are also differences within regions. In the Americas, for example, countries such as Brazil, Canada, Chile, and the US have a higher density of nurses at close to or over 100 per 10,000 people, distorting the regional average. Many of the neighboring countries in the region have less than 50 nurses per 10,000 people. In Haiti, there are only 3.8 nurses per 10,000 people.When based on country income, data in the report shows an unsurprising trend: The higher the income, the higher the nursing density. In low-income countries, the average density of nurses is 9.1 per 10,000 people, while the figure forhigh-income countries is 107.7 per 10,000 people.But training more nurses won't solve the problem, said Dr. Giorgio Cometto, WHO coordinator on human resources for health policies and standards."If the country lacks the economic capacity to employ them or to create economic opportunities for them to work as nurses ... training more nurses can just go into the direction of making labor market imbalances, resulting in unemployment among nurses. And that's a huge wastage of human capital as well as financial resources," Cometto said.The key is balancing training with the creation of employment opportunities in rural areas where there are known health worker shortages.That may be easier said than done, especially among countries that are suffering from chronic or complex emergencies, in active conflict, or struggling in the wake of conflict. But in these settings, the international aid community can arrange its assistance with national priorities and covering recurrent costs, such as salaries, within a specified period of time, Cometto said.8.How many nurses are needed according to WHO's new" State of the World 's Nursing 2020" report?A.6 million.B.8.7Million.C.3.8 Million.D.5.9Million.9.From the figures in the passage , where are nurses most needed?A.Africa.B.Haiti.C.Eastern Mediterranean region.D.Southeast Asia.10.Based on the country income what does the data in the report show?A.The higher the income ,the more nurses are.B.The higher the income,the more doctors are.C.The lower the income ,the more doctors are.D.The lower the income, the more nurses are.11.From what Cometto said, we know that___.A.It is easy to solve the problem of shortage of nurses.B.It is not easy to solve the problem of shortage of nurses.C.Training more nurses is a way to solve the problem.D.The international aid community can arrange its assistance all the time.DIf you’ve ever been on a fishing boat, you’ve probably seen crowds of birds following it, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.Researchers attached data loggers to the backs of 169 albatrosses(信天翁) in Indian oceans. Weighing only 42 grams, the devices included a GPS, which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitting from boats. That information was then sent by satellite, so the researchers could track the location of the birds—and thus the radar-emitting boats—in real time.The scientists then cross-checked that data against the known locations of boats, collected from a system boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And noticeable differences appeared frequently.More than a third of the times the birds “loggers” detected radar signals, and therefore a boat, but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds.Fortunately, such a task would be difficult. Around fishing boats,you can find hundreds of birds at any one time that are flying around. And the birds with loggers are not marked in any way. So it’s not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats. Though regulations have been established to protect against thathappening—with success—illegal boats don’t necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations.12.What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research?A.Their feeding patterns.B.Their sense of direction.C.Their greedy behaviors.D.Their habit of following fishing boats.13.For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS?A.To seek more fishes.B.To have it mistaken for another.C.To avoid being detected.D.To save the trouble of declaring itself.14.What does “such a task” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A.Identifying birds with loggers.B.Monitoring illegal boats.C.Tracking radar signals automatically.D.Fishing illegally.15.What could be the best title for the text?A.AIS: an Effective System to Locate BoatsB.Humans Are Good at Discovering Birds’ NatureC.Data Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good HarvestD.Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing Operations第二节.七选五(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。

基础篇012阅读理解+1七选五（含解析）【阅读理解①】I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others.To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright (剧作家) hopes to get across through dialogue and action.A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme.It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright.However, a variety of types is represented here.These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama.To show the versatility (多面性) of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater.More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience.The houselights dim (变暗 ).The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.21. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A. He has written dozens of plays.B. He has a deep love for the theater.C. He is a professional stage actor.D. He likes reading short plays to others.22. What does the author avoid doing in his work?A. Stating the plays’ central ideas.B. Selecting works by famous playwrights.C. Including various types of plays.D. Offering information on the playwrights.23. What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?A. Control their feelings.B. Apply their acting skills.C. Use their imagination.D. Keep their audience in mind.24. What is this text?A. A short story.B. An introduction to a book.C. A play review.D. An advertisement for a theater.【阅读理解②】For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers,”says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学)on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,”says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “ Vera Wang,Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,”adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,”she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market.If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”24. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A. It promoted the sales of artworks.B. It attracted a large number of visitors.C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.25. What does Hill say about Chinese women?A. They are setting the fashion.B. They start many fashion campaigns.C. They admire super models.D. They do business all over the world.26. What do the underlined words“taking on” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. learning fromB. looking down onC. working withD. competing against27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC. Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends【七选五③】A Few Tips for Self-AcceptanceWe all want it... to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.●37 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made. We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. 38 You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心) response? “That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.”●Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today. 39●Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?A. Feeling upset again?B. Where do you start?C . Nothing is too small to celebrate.D. Remember, you are only human.E. Set an intention for self-acceptance.F. Stop comparing yourself with others.G. When does the comparison game start?【参考答案】【阅读理解①】21、【解析】选B。

2021年高三英语暑期作业（一）含答案xx.7.15一、阅读理解AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise. For some reason, when certain show s switched into a mercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then changeit back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.2. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to mercialsD. showed all-night movies3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.B. By turning it on and off.C. By switching channels.D. BY having it repaired.4. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. Curious.B. Anxious.C. Cautious.D. Humorous.BYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage ove reating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. we eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glassthan a tall, skinny glass.5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about.A. their home fortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets6. A home environment in blue can help people .A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.C. Use smaller spoons.D. Turn down the lights.8. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年)before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in N ovember and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off th eir entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and plete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,”he said.But not everyone in happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that increase is evidence of student hardship—young people are being forced intoearning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to ￡15，000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said.9.

位敦市安定阳光实验学校中学高2014级暑期加课英语练习题一成绩：第一节：阅读理解（4*8=32分）AThis Monday, the nation will start to celebrate Presidents’ Day, just seven days before George Washington’s birthday. Everyone agrees that day is a holiday, but is it just to celebrate George Washington’s Birthday? What about Abraham Lincoln? Some government offices call it Presidents’ Day. Others say the holiday is officially Washington’s Birthday. Confused yet?George Washington was elected the country’s first Preside nt on April 30, 1789. Soon after, Americans began publicly celebrating his birthday. Presidential historians say the actual date of George Washington’s birth is February 11, 1732. But a change in the calendar system 20 years later shifted all dates，making Washington’s birthday February 22, which is now well accepted. In 1879. Congress made Washington’s birthday an official federal holiday. It was the first federal holiday to celebrate an individual’s birthday.In 1968, Congress passed the Monday Holidays Act，which moved the holiday to the third Monday in February. The new law did not change the holiday’s name.It was still called Washington’s Birthday, even though some lawmakers wanted to call it Presidents’ Day to include Abraham Lincoln，whose actual birthday is February 12.Many people argue that the holiday should celebrate all past Presidents. They feel Lincoln should be honored for his role in preserving the nation during the Civil War and helping to free slaves. Others feel the holiday should only honor Washington, the country’s first President. They say shifting the focus away from Washington would mean future generations of kids would not know about the Father of Our Country.Laws have been introduced in Congress over the years to require use of the term ＂George Washington’s Birthday.＂but none of those laws have been passed. Meanwhile, many state governments and school districts now use the term ＂Presidents’ Day.＂Many stoles also use it to promote holiday sales.Should the holiday honor Washington, Washington and Lincoln, or all past Presidents? Write to emailbag@ and tell us what you think.1. The President’s Day was originally designed to honor______.A. George WashingtonB. Abraham LincolnC. all presidentsD. the Civil War2. What can we infer from the passage?A. Washington’s Birthday is the same as Lincoln’s.B. The change in the calendar system was not wise.C. The new act changed the holiday’s name.D. This Monday is the third one of this February.3. What’s the main argument about this holiday?A. When to celebrate the holiday.B. How to celebrate the holiday.C. Which president to honor.D. Where to celebrate the holiday.4. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Why people celebrate President DayB. The history and debate behind Presidents’ DayC. To celebrate Presidents’ Day or notD. Colorful activities on Presidents’ DayBMy father was always a good gardener. One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled（翻耕的）soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground.As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden, I remember Dad pushing the tiller（耕作机）ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow com, and our favorite ― red tomatoes.As I grew into a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. As Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still took care of his garden.But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of multicolored vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed them, he simply let them be. He only planted tomatoes.For the first few years after he died, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone's garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Three years ago, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up a fair amount of soil, something caught the comer of my eye and I had to smile, It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.5. Why did the author like the garden when he was a child?A. The garden was planted with colorful flowers.B. The garden was just freshly tilled by his father.C. He loved what his father grew in the garden.D. He enjoyed being in the garden with his father.6. When all the kids started their own families, the author’sfather .A. devoted more to gardeningB. turned to other hobbiesC. stopped his gardeningD. focused on planting tomatoes7. What happened to the garden when the author’s father was seriously ill?A. The aut hor’s son took charge of it.B. No plant grew in the garden at all.C. The garden was almost deserted.D. It brought the author a great harvest.8. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. the author’s son played happily in the gardenB. the author’s son reminded him of his own fatherC. the author’s son was very glad to help the authorD. the author’s son will continue gardening as well第二节：补全短文（5*3=15分）Life getting you down?

In spite of its location beside the sea, several studies have shown that this region is the driest place in the world. In the Antofagasta Region of the desert, the averageannual rainfall is just 1 mm and some weather stations have never received rain at all. Atacama is so arid that the surrounding mountains that reach up to 6885 m, have absolutely no glaciers! In the region, the river beds have been dry for over 120,000 years.However, unlike the Sahara Desert,Atacama is surprisingly not that hot. It has an average daily temperature between 0'C and 25℃! If you find that surprising, you'd be shocked to find out that this desert has lakes!When there was rainfall in the region (many year ago), this accumulated water created what we now know as the Salt Lakes. The name of these lakes was given as a result of the effect of the Atacama environment: the long dry period makes the water evaporate(蒸发),resulting in the higher concentrations of salt in the remaining water.This region has been tested by scientists to see if life is present in the Atacama soil with the same instruments that would be used to detect life in the soil on Mars! As a result of the soil's similarites to that of Mars,the Atacama land is used to test instruments for future Mars missions. In addition, the region has been used in movies as a set for filming Mars scenes, most famously in the television show Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets.The Atacama Desert is truly a u nique place, due to its lack of rain as well as its similarities to Mars. You would think that this place would be a bare ghost town (鬼域), but think again! Many people have lived here for centuries, giving this desert its own culture and economic significance.56. What does the underlined word "arid" in the first paragraph mean?A. Big.B. Dry.C. Hot.D. Long.pared to the Sahara Desert, the Atacama Desert is _____.A. smallerB. wetterC. less famousD. less hot58.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. origin of the Salt Lakes.B. rainfall in the Atacama Desert.C. the weather in the Atacama Desert.D. The current situation of the Salt Lakes.59.The TV program mentioned in the text____.A. tells Atacama's similarities to MarsB. focuses on the soil of MarsC. explores life in AtacamaD. was filmed in Atacama60.According to the author, the Atacama Desert ___.A. is a very frightening placeB. is as mysterious as MarsC. is somehow livableD. has many poor townsBWhile nature lovers across th e world wish all humans to realize the significance of their natural surroundings, many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.Julie Astonis, an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example. Even though autumn is approaching Australia's Brisbane in April, one can still watch colorful blooming (盛开的) flowers in Julie's little garden, as she tells that in her community, "Each of us has a beautiful yard. The whole community, from children to elderly people, takes care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden.""Gardening is the most popular club in our community，" she says. "A lot of retired people don't just regularly organize gardening lectures，but also personally visit families in the community to provide gardening training. So you can see that flowers continue to blossom in our gardens throughout the year."Talking about her people's sense of caring for the environment, Julie says when people in thecommunity take along their dog, they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog's waste. "In our community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass," says Julie with a smile.“T aking care of the the dog’s waste can also help to develop children's sense of responsibility!”As to protecting water resources, the Australian goverment has made strict rules for families. Julie says, "We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!" She says almost every family in her c ommunity has a huge tank used to store rainwater，which is later used as the resource of all outdoor water use，including car washing and watering the garden. This year, they also asked people to connect the water tank with their toilets.61.From the first three paragraphs we learn t hat_____A. gardening is popular in most parts of AustraliaB. April is a great time for people to enjoy flowersC. it's not easy to keep a garden without proper trainingD. Julie's community has a deep sense of caring for nature62.Why can flowers be seen all year round in Julie's community?A. Gardening lessons are often given by professors.B. Families are taught how to take care of their gardens.C. The local government provides free gardening training.D. There is enough rainwater to water the flowers regularly.63.What do we know about Julie from Paragraph 4?A. She takes pride in her community.B. She once stepped on a dog's waste.D. She is quite in favor of raising a dog. D. She finds it embarrassing to walk on the grass..64.From what Julie says in the last paragraph, we know___.A. rainwater is not the best resourceB. her community owns a public tankC. her community makes full use of resourcesD. it is not necessary to water flowers very often65.Whanvould be the best title for the text?A. Love nature, the Australian wayB. How Australians save resourcesC. How Australians lead their lifeD. Protect nature, a must of lifeCXiangzi –Lucky, in English - is appropriately named. His owner Qiu Hong, a sports marketer,lets the dog enjoy two daily walks,a collection of imported American toys, $300 worth of monthly food and treats and his own sofa in her high-rise apartment. When Ms. Qiu feels bored, she takes Xiangzi out for a long run in her car.In a sense, Xiangzi is not just a dog, but a social phenomenon – and, perhaps, a marker of how quickly the Chinese nation is booming through its transformation from poor farmer to first-world citizen.Twenty years ago,there were hardly any dogs in Beijing, but now there're 900，000 registered dogs with countless thousands of others unlicensed. How this came to be is, in some ways, the story of modern China as well."People used to be focused on improving their own lives, and they weren't really acquainted with raising dogs，" said Ms. Qiu. "But with the improvement in the economy，people's outlooks (观念) have changed."Having a dog can be a way to relieve the stress in people's lives, but mostly Beijing dogs have, as in the West, become objects of affection - even devotion - by their owners. It's easy tofind dog-treat stores, dog Web sites, dog social networks, dog swimming pools – even, for a time recently, a bring-your-dog cinema and a bring-your-dog bar on Beijing's downtown nightclub row.The doglike devotion of pet owners here seems to have softened the city government heart. In 1994，Beijing officials relaxed their no-dog policy to "severely restrict" dogs. In ,it was changed again to a llow anyone to own a dog，but to limit city dogs to no mo re than 35 centimeters in height. And nowadays the restriction seems to be loosely carried out.As for sti-fried Pekingese (京叭狗) - well，that dog,too, may have seen its day.
