Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book а holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you should think about. By "green" we mean the impact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency,pick up brochure (宣传册) , read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel agents directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the Internet.The Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience.You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents, however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go,i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend. You could use the telephone but you wouldn't be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent а brochure anyway.There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier.These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose. Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can't be good for the environment. In the days of the Internet, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it will do а little bit to wards saving the environment, too!1.When planning holidays, few people will think about being green.A.TrueB.FalseC.

Apartments, town homes, and other areas with little or no land are being used for gardening. This method of gardening is becoming more common as the amount of land for gardening in cities is becoming smaller and smaller.Containers, hanging baskets and raised beds are examples of items people use to create a garden in a confined space. Some cities also offer a shared community garden for people who have no room to grow plants at home.Many types of plants can be grown in containers and baskets. Tomatoes and peppers,for instance, can grow in containers on windowsills(窗台) . Plants grown on a windowsill should usually receive at least six to eight hours of sunlight daily. Herbs are often grown in containers or baskets in the kitchen. They do not require much space and can be handy for cooking.People who want to grow more plants may use raised beds which are usually made of wood pieces and filled with a mixture of soil and fertilizers. They can be built on top of any hard surface, including roof tops. People like them because the beds often cost much less than most other methods of gardening.Community gardening could be an option for anyone who does not have space for a garden at home. Most cities that offer this will rent a small plot and to someone for a fee, or allow them to use it free of charge Instead of dividing the and into separate plots, some cities allow everyone in the neighborhood to share and work on the same land.This method could be beneficial for people in the neighborhood who share the passion for growing things.11.

Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were all started before the American Revolution made the thirteen colonies into states.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men attended colleges. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard's law school. In 1852, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German, as well as Latin and Greek. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.Special colleges for women were started. New state universities began to teach such subjects as farming, engineering and business. Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are divided into smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There is so much to learn that one kind of school cannot offer it all.1).Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were the names of the _______ in America.A.statesB.citiesC.universitiesD.colonies2).The passage doesn't say so, but it makes us think that _______.A.colleges and universities have changed greatly over the yearsB.American young men are much luckier than young womenC.new subjects have already taken the place of the old onesD.Harvard University is now less important3).As knowledge increased, colleges began to teach _______.A.everything that was knownB.many new subjectsC.French and GermanD.farming4).The title of this passage would be _______.A.Famous Harvard UniversityB.American UniversitiesC.The Changing of American UniversitiesD.The American Revolution5).Which statement does the passage lead you to believe?A.The schools are still much alike.B.There is much more to learn than in 1636.C.Early students worked harder.D.Students in modern America learn only science2.Passage 3You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up”in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment. Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute failed to open, and he was killed.In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stunt girls too!1).Stuntmen are those who ______.A.often dress up as actorsB.prefer to lead dangerous livesC.often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD.often fight each other for their lives2).Stuntmen earn their living by ______.A.playing their dirty tricksB.selling their special skillsC.jumping out of high windowsD.jumping from fast-moving trains3).When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.A.he needs little protectionB.he will be covered with a mattressC.his life is endangeredD.his safety is generally all right4).Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?A.Strength。

Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse. That is why I was surprised.It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their busin ess do not follow other people’s rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way strange to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it easier to work in that way.Now the very same thing is true of literature. And the question, “How shall I begin”only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail —that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.1). A friend of the write’s drew horses .the way of his own rulethe way of Western ruleof the above正确答案:2). The writer was surprised because __________.artist began to draw at the head of the horse.artist began to draw at the tail of the horse.artist followed other people’s rules.artist did not follow other people’s rules.正确答案:3).

When you become more experienced you will ____________. ask questionbegin at the tailthe end of the storyof the beginning正确答案:5). The passage is about _____________.to draw a horseof your own powerto make your own rulesto write a story正确答案:2Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which areneeded in a , when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (两周) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.1). Which of the following statements is NOT true _________who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.who work in London prefer to live in the country.people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.正确答案:2).

The Stranger Who Changed My LifeIt was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi, looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital, I found a man running down the hospital steps, waving at me.I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “The Airport, please,” he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments, he started saying, “How do you like driving a taxi?"“It's OK,”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”“What do you do?” I asked.“I am a doctor at New York Hospital.”Many times during long rides, I'd developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help.“Could I ask a favor of you?”He didn't answer. “I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a job this summer. Is it possible that you get one for him?”He still wasn't talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Fi nally, he said,“Well, mystudents have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record.”He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.Robbie sent off his grades the next morning.And gradually this incident was forgotten. Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, Robbie handed me a letter. He was informed to call Dr. Plum for an interview.Robbie got the job. The following summer, Robbie worked at the hospital again, but this time, he was given more responsibility. Then, he worked at the hospital for a third summer and gradually developed a love of medical profession.Near graduating from college, Robbie applied to and was admitted to New York Medical College. After getting his medical degree, Robbie, the son of a taxi driver, became a doctor at Columbia Medical Center.1.The doctor shouted at the taxi driver for a ride.A.TrueB. FalseC. Not Given答案：B解析：“shout at”意为对……大喊，呵斥。

Cloze TestThe money and the time we spend on pets is simply not our own to spend as we like in a time of widespread want and starvation. A 11 organization advertises that for $33 a month they can give hospital care to a child suffering from kwashiorkor-the severe deficiency disease 12 is simply a starving for protein. Doing 13 such a pet, and then sending the money saved to a relief organization would mean 14 a life-over the years, several human lives.Children not 15 from such a grave disease could be fed with half that amount-not on a diet like ours, but on plain, basic, life-sustaining food. It is not unreasonable to believe 16 the amount of money we spend on the average pet dog could keep a child 17 in a region of great poverty. 18 what we would spend on a cat might not feed a child, but it 19 probably pay for his medical care or basic education.

Reading ComprehensionPassage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “Why didn’t I realize that Paul was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make up feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hidestheir real meaning. If we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky boy” or “You’re a lucky girl”, that’s being friendly. But there’s a bit of envy in “lucky dog.” Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His gesture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you many save another mistake.21. According to the writer, when people look back it is too late, because .A. mistakes have already been madeB. mistakes can made them feel badC. they are unaware of their mistakesD. they are doubtful of their friends22. People make mistakes when they fail toA. deal with others with due friendlinessB. hide their true feelings in what they sayC. realize they deserve what they have gotD. see the real meaning of what others say23. Judging from the phrase “just think of all the things you have to be thankful for”, it is clear that the speaker actually lacks .A. optimismB. sympathyC. motivationD. courage24. To be a successful listener, one is advised toA. ask the speaker as many questions as he canB. observe the speaker as carefully as possibleC. listen to the speaker as attentively as he canD. challenge the speaker as actively as possible25. The passage aims to tell readers how to .A. interpret what people sayB. interpret what money meansC. avoid mistakes about peopleD. avoid mistakes about moneyPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Doctors have long known that eating fish helps protect against heart disease. What they don’t know is why fish are beneficial. For years they figured it was a simple question of substitution: folks who replace red meat with fish are naturally cutting down their intake of saturated (饱和的) fat. But a growing body of evidence collected over the past 30 years suggests fish contain healthful elements called omega-3 fatty acids.Omega-3 fatty acids belong to a group of compounds known as polyunsaturated fats. These fats serve as the raw material for a whole host of essential structures in the body, from brain cells to molecules (分子) that regulate blood pressure.Since our bodies cannot manufacture their own supply of omega-3s, we have to get them from the food we eat, mostly from fish but also from plant sources like soybeans (大豆).The American Heart Association has recommended that everyone eat two 85-g servings of fatty fish a week. But the A.H.A’s expert panel wasn’t ready to declare that taking omega-3 pills will protect your heart. It’s just too easy to get more omega-3 than you need from pills, and the panel was worried that an excess could cause serious side effects, such as internal bleeding.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, allowed manufactures of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise the fat’s benefits—as long as the label does not suggest taking more than two grams per day.One thing is clear whether you get your omega-3s from pills, oils or fish: they are not cure-alls. You still have to eat a well-balanced diet that’s lower in total fat than most Americans currently consume. Otherwise, you’re fishing for trouble.26. Doctors have long been puzzled by .A. why red meat is harmfulB. how beneficial fish areC. what makes fish healthfulD. how red meat is replaced27. We can learn from the passage that .A. human beings get omega-3s from their foodB. omega-3s are only found in fish and soybeansC. omega-3s are the raw material for saturated fatsD. polyunsaturated fats constitute human molecules28. The A.H.A. didn’t recommend omega-3 pills, becauseA. it had no knowledge of the safe dose of omega-3B. it had no evidence that they can protect the heartC. the pills contain too little omega-3 to be helpfulD. one is likely to get too much omega-3 from the pills29. The FDA allowed manufacturers of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise omega-3’s benefits on condition thatA. their suggested dose is printed on the labelB. their suggested dose is within the safety limitC. the fat’s potential side effects are mentionedD. the products contain side effects are mentioned30. The writer seems to suggest thatA. omega-3s can balance one’s dietB. omega-3s can serve as a supplementC. an unbalanced diet is made worse by omega-3sD. a well-balanced diet contains enough omega-3sPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It was a terrible tragedy, six times more deadly than the Titanic (泰坦尼克号). When the German ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes (鱼雷) fired from a Russian submarine (潜水艇) in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people---mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Germany—were packed aboard. An ice storm had turned the dicks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into sea as the ship listed and began to go down. Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to get aboard. Most people froze immediately. “I’ll never forget the screams,” says Christa Nutzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors. She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its darkgrave—and rarely mentioned for more than half a century.The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable—and necessary. By unreservedly confessing their country’s horrible crimes Germans have managed to win ac ceptance abroadand make peace with their neighbors. Today’s unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled history. For that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay. But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they’ve now earned the right to discuss the full historical record. Not to identify German suffering with that of its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.31. The Wilhelm Gustloff went down becauseA. it ran into an ice stormB. it was hit by another shipC. it crashed into a submarineD. it was attacked by torpedoes32. Most passengers on board the Wilhelm Gustloff took the voyage toA. taste the luxury of the shipB. seek protection in another placeC. escape the cold winter back homeD. enjoy their holidays abroad33. As the ship began to sink, some passengersA. set the decks on fire as a signal for helpB. fought fiercely on the decks for lifeboatsC. jumped into sea and swam to a nearby shipD. prevented others from getting on their lifeboats34. The Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy remains a near secret for more than half a century because GermansA. preferred to say nothing about itB. were requested to keep silent about itC. spared not effort to cover up the storyD. were denied access to the whole story35. It can be inferred from the passage that Germans no longer think thatA. it is too early to claim responsibility for the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedyB. the German tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nation’s pastC. they will be misunderstood if they talk about the German tragedyD. Germany is responsible for the horrors it caused during World War II第二部分非选择题IV.

Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book a holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you should think about. By“green”we mean the pact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up brochures（宣传册)read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel agents directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the InternetThe Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents, however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend. You could use the telephone, but you wouldn’t be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier. These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can’t be good for the environment. In the days of the Internet, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it will do a little bit towards saving the environment, too!1. When planning holidays, few people will think about being green.A. TrueB.
