This problem results from various reasons.The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are running out of our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution. Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products.In my opinion, I think we should take measures to control the increase of population, and every oneof us should try his best to protect our environment. If all of us can do our part, I am sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.。

The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And years early as 1959,with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1,25 million tickets were sold.35. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?A. To attract great artists from Europe.B. To honor heroes of World War 11.C. To introduce young theatre groups.D. To bring Europe together again.36. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?A. They owned a public house there.B. They came to take up a challenge.C. They wanted to take part in the festival.D. They thought they were also famous.37. Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?A. An Austrian conductor.B. University students.C. A paid administrator.D. Performers of music and dance.38. We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival .A. keeps growing rapidlyB. has gone beyond an art festivalC. gives shows all year roundD. has become a non-official eventCAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio（影棚）to take part in a crowd-scene．Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things．We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path．Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position．The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby．Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path．A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow"．Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees．The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold．The next scene was a complete contrast （对比）．The way it was filmed was quite unusual．Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen （幕）．An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, as if they were at the water's edge on an island．By a simple and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us．For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!39．Who is the author?A．A cameraman．B．A film director．C．A workman for scene setting．D．A crowd-scene actor．40．What made the author feel cold?A．The heavy snowfall．B．The low temperature．C．The man-made scene．D．The film being shown．41．What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned in the last paragraph?A．More stars would act in the film．B．A new scene would be filmed．C．The author would leave the studio．D．The next scene would be prepared．DLow-Cost Gifts for Mother's DayGift No. IOffer to be your mother's health friend.

As I got older I began doing random things for people. For example, during holidays, such as Christmas, I would make an extra 21 along with the ones for my relatives. Then I would go and find someone in the grocery store and just hand it to them and walk away. It was so much fun. I admit, 22 , the first time I did itI was so 23 . I didn’t know who to give the card to. So I said a little prayer and knew that the24 person would just appear. About that time an elderly man ran 25 me with his shopping cart. It was an accident, and he 26 a million times. We smiled and he walked away, and I knew that he was the one. Later I found him in a different isle(过道), handed him the card, and smiled. I said Happy Holidays, and then walked away. It was so great, and the 27 I had afterwards was unexplainable.Then one day I came across your website (the coolest website ever) and 28 some Smile Cards. When they came in, I started a new project. When I go into a store, I locate a person who I think needs a 29 . Then, I buy a flower, a carnation, to be exact, and 30 it in the most beautiful paper they have. I tie lots of ribbons on it to make it 31 , and then slip the smile card into an envelope and 32 it to the flower. After that, I pay for it and explain to the cashier 33 it is to go to (I live in a pretty small town so it’s easy to get the help of the cashiers). They then give it to that person when they come th rough. Once in a while I’ll buy the flower and then just leave it for the cashier. That gets smiles.My favorite time was when I picked out this elderly woman who was walking around the 34 somewhat confused. I had come across her numerous times and she only smiled slightly once. When she came to the check out (I was watching from outside) her face 35 and the smile was the biggest I had ever seen. Later that week the cashier whom I had had 36 me told me that the lady had been so surprised and while she was walking out with the grocery bag to her car, she was planning what she was going to do for someone else. It was awesome.I absolutely love the random acts of kindness cards. I 37 at least two in my purse and others in my car, locker and everywhere I go. As I mentioned, my club, STARS, is doing a Random Acts of Kindness Project with the smile cards so they also are using them. I look forward to hearing about their success. It’s really great. I 38 used them in school. I bought my entire math class cans of pop after lunch one day. They came in from lunch and a can of pop and a smile card were setting 39 that day. It totally lightened the mood in the class that day 40 we were studying for a test. Thank you for all of the help that you provide. The smile cards are a great program that brings smiles into the lives of many!21. A. present B. card C. wish D. promise22. A. therefore B. anyway C. moreover D. however23.

When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.2) How do you handle change?Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.3) Do you enjoy working with computers ？I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy ？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.5) How do you like to get paid?Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.C. Extreme people tend to work with others.D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.42. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph one mean?A. Before you select your job, you should assess your skills and match them with your positionB. There are more important things than assessing skills and match them with the positionwhen you select job.C. Nothing is important than assessing skills and match them with the position when youselect job.D. You should ignore your skills when you select job.43. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?A. Design.B. Changes.C. Cooperation.D. Hobbies.BI opened my new patient's chart and headed for her room. My son, Eric, had just brought home a disappointing report card, and my daughter, Shannon, and I had argued again about her getting a driver's license. For the next eight hours I wanted to throw myself into helping people who I knew had much more to worry about than I did. Rebekah, mother of three lovely little girls, was only 32, admitted for chemotherapy after breast-cancer surgery, When I gave her an injection, skills JobsEnvironment Motivation Stability?Rebekah shut her eyes tightly and murmured a prayer until it was over. Then she smiled and squeezed my hand. “Before you go, could you get my Bible from the table?" I handed her the worn book. "Do you have a favorite Bible verse?" she asked. "Jesus wept. John 11: 35." "Such a sad one," she said. "Why?""It makes me feel closer to Jesus, knowing he also experienced human sorrow." Rebekah nodded thoughtfully and started flipping through her Bible as I shut the door quietly behind me.During the following months, her hospital stays became frequent and she worried about her children. One day when I entered her room, I found her talking into a tape recorder. She picked up a notebook and held it out to me. "I'm making a tape for my daughters, " she said. I read the list on her pad: starting school, confirmation, turning 16, first date, graduation. While I worried how to help her deal with death, she was planning for her children's future. She usually waited until the early hours of the morning to record the tapes so she could be free from interruptions. She filled them with family stories and advice，trying to cram a lifetime of love into a few precious hours. Finally, every item in her notes had been checked off and she entrusted the tapes to her husband.I often wondered what I would say in her place. My kids joked that I was like an FBI agent, with my constant questions about where they’d been and who they’d been with. Where, I thought, are my words of encouragement and love?It was three o'clock one afternoon when I got an urgent call from the hospital. Rebekah wanted me to come immediately with a blank tape. She was breathing hard when I entered her room. I slipped the tape into the recorder and held the microphone to her lips. "Ruthie, Hannah, Molly, this is the most important tape." She held my hand and closed her eyes. "Someday your daddy will bring home a new mommy. Please make her feel special. Show her how to take care of you. Ruthie, honey, help her get your Brownie uniform ready each Tuesday. Hannah, tell her you don't want meat sauce on your spaghetti. Molly, don't get mad if there's no apple juice. Drink something else. It's okay to be sad, sweeties. Jesus cried too. He knows about sadness and will help you to be happy again. Remember, I'll always love you. I shut off the recorder and Rebekah sighed deeply. "Thank you, Nan, "You'll give this one to them, won't you?" she murmured as she slid into sleep.A time would come when the tape would be played for Rebekah's children, but right then, after I smoothed Rebekah's blanket, I got in my car and hurried home. I thought of how my Shannon also liked her sauce on the side and suddenly that quirk, which had annoyed me so many times, seemed to make her so much more precious. That night the kids didn't go out; they sat with me long after the spaghetti sauce had dried onto the dishes. And we talked, without interrogations, without complaints，late into the night.44. From the first paragraph we can learn that ____________ .A. Nan was in a bad state and wept a lot in her daily life.B. Nan was not on good terms with her children.C. Nan was worried about how to help Rebeka deal with her death.D. Nan laid more stress on attending on her patients than her children.45. Which of the following scenes was most likely to be seen at Nan’s home before she metRebekah?A. The family sat down in a circle and shared an interesting story.B. After dinner, the children either went out or shut themselves up in their rooms.C. The son was the headache of the parents while the daughter their comfort.D. When Eric did poorly at school, the parents comforted him and cheered him up.46. Which was the most vital message Rebekah left to her children?A. Bringing home satisfying school report cardsB. Landing a job after graduationC. Growing up healthily and happilyD. Accepting their step-mother into their lives.47. The writer learnt from Rebekah that a parent’s real concern should be.A. protecting the children from the dangers they may be trapped in.B. having encouraging and loving talks with children.C. making tape records to guide the children in their future lives.D. tolerating the children’s annoying quirks.CThe largest campaign of killing rats in history is set to poison millions of rats on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. Scientists say the campaign planned for 2013 and 2014 will restore beautiful South Georgia to the position it once held as the world’s most important nesting sites for seabirds.It was sailors in the late 18th century who unintentionally introduced rats to what had been a fresh environment. “If we can destroy the rats, at least 100 million birds will return to their home on South Georgia,” says Tony Martin, a biology professor at the University of Dundee who was invited to lead the project.South Georgia is by far the largest island to get rid of animals that destroy native wildlife after being introduced deliberately or accidentally by people. Though rats and mice have done the most damage, cats, foxes, goats, deer, rabbits and other species have been targeted in the campaigns around the world.South Georgia is seven times the size of New Zealand’s Campbell Island, currently the largest area ever killing rats. The successful war against Campbell Island rats was carried our in 2001 with 132 tons of poison dropped from five helicopters.“New Zealand pioneered the techniques for ridding islands of rats and in fact our operation on South Georgia is based on New Zealand’s technology.” Says Martin. “Some New Zealanders will be helping our campaign, including our chief pilot, Peter Garden, who was also chief pilot for the projects at Campbell Island and Rat Island, in the Aleutian chain of the north Pacific.”The second and third stages in 2013 and 2014 will involve dropping as much as 300 tons of poison from the air onto every part of the island where rats might live. It is a huge operation, carried out during the stormy southern autumn when the rats are hungry and the risks of poisoning native wildlife are less than in the spring and summer months. “Ideally we’d do in winter but the weather makes that too risky,” Martin says.The ecological payback will be priceless. But Martin says, “The full benefits will take decades to arrive, because some of these birds are slow to hatch.”48. According to the passage, how did the rats appear on the sub-Antarctic island of SouthGeorgia ?A. They were attracted there by wildlife.B. They escaped there from Campbell Island.C. They were introduced there by sailors accidently.D. They were brought in by people deliberately.49. Which of the following is True about Peter Garden ?A. He is in charge of the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.B. He will be the only pilot for the project on the sub-Antarctic island.C. He will benefit a lot from the campaign on the sub-Antarctic island.D. He made great contributions to the project at Campbell Island and Rat Island.50. The operation of ridding South Georgia of rats is to carried out in autumn because _________.A. the war against Campbell Island rats failed in all seasons except autumn.B. only then do the New Zealanders to help the operation have the spare time.C. rats then need more food and the operation does less harm to native wildlife.D. the poison kills rats more effectively than it does in any other season.51. What can we infer from the passage?.A. The campaign of killing rats will benefit the native wildlife in a short time.B. Rats aren’t the only species to be blamed for the disappearance of wildlife.C. The first stage of killing rats on the sub-Antarctic island didn’t make great achievements.D. The campaign in South Georgia will fully follow in the footsteps of that on CampbellIsland.DAccording to a study by SallieMae, 84 percent of undergraduate students have credit cards, and by the time they are seniors, they have accumulated US＄4,100 in debt, on top of whatever student loans they may have taken out.Credit cards are the most convenient form of payment, and they are aggressively marketed to college students. Reportedly, a typical college student carries 4.6 credit cards and US＄3,173 in credit card debt.Credit cards seem to be a fact of life, not just student life. In the long term, using a credit card properly and paying off the balance can help establish a card history and increase your credit score, which will come in handy when you need an important loan, for a house or car, for example. Your credit score can affect even unrelated things like insurance rates. Credit cards also offer more protection for users than debit cards （借记卡）.Under federal law, the credit card holder is only responsible for the first US＄50 in fraudulent(欺诈的)purchases in cases of theft or loss. However, debit card users are responsible for the first US＄500.SallieMae found some good news in the fact that two thirds of students had discussed credit issues with their parents, but 84 percent said they needed more information. Those who didn’t get any guidance were more likely to be surprised when they found out how much they owed.While credit cards offer the easiest access to money, they make it easy to live outside your means. Less than a fifth of students surveyed paid off their balance every month, and carrying a balance brings finance charges, sometimes at a very high interest rates.SallieMae found that almost 40 percent of students chose their first credit card based on direct mail, which is probably why students get credit card offers in the mail. But when the credit card offers flow in, be sure that you read the fine print. Offers of low or no interest rates can disappear, leaving you a debt that climbs beyond your ability to pay it off.52. What does the first paragraph imply?A. Most of the senior students are shocked to see how much they owed.B. Students can only take out loans from credit cards.C. Most of students’ loans come from credit cards.D. Credit cards have a bad effect on college students.53. The underlined part “come in handy” in the third paragraph probably means “_______”.A. bring troubleB. make mistakesC. be importantD. be useful54. According to SallieMae, what is the possible reason why students get so many credit cardoffers in the mail?A. Many students’ first credit card is based on direct mail.B. It costs the banks little to mail out credit cards.C. Students don’t like to go to the bank to open a credit card account.D. Banks have no other way to let students use their credit cards.55. What is the theme of the third paragraph?A. The advantages of using debit cards.B. The similarities between credit cards and debit cards.C. The advantages of using credit cards.D. Credit cards are the most convenient form of payment.四．任务型阅读（10分）(每空填一词)Young people are definitely less courageous (勇敢的) than they were 30 years ago. Why is this? It’s because they are spoiled, and take for granted everything that they have or are giv en.Thirty years ago, there wasn’t nearly as much blatant (公然的) disrespect for elders, peers, or other people in general. At that time, young people were taught that to get anything or get anywhere in life, they’d have to work for it and earn it.If young people aren’t being taught the basics of respecting others, and aren’t being taught that they need to work to make a living, then where are they to learn courage?Courage isn’t necessarily about risking your life, for whatever reason. It is about being abl e to face any kind of hardship, and to make decisions and face the consequences of those decisions.Courage means being able to learn from hard times, and to take those lessons with you through life. It means having the resourcefulness (足智多谋) to find ways to deal with your problems yourself, and not being afraid to do so.Too many young people now rely on parents, siblings, older relatives and others to get them through life. Too often they turn to these figures whenever they get into trouble, and expect to have their problems solved for them.If we are to help our young people become more courageous, we should stop spoiling them, stop doing everything for them, and teach them the skills necessary to make basic life decisions on their own.Once these basic principles are instilled (灌输) in our young people, I think we’ll find that they are more courageous than we could have dreamed, and more like the young people of thirty years ago than we had ever imagined.It’s time to go back to older val ues and ideas, and to bring courage back into our young people and society.Theme (56)_____________ with young people 30 years ago, those are less courageous.The behavior of young people today *They generally show (57) ___________for elders and other people.*They take for granted whatever they have or receive.*Many of them are too (58) ____________ on their parents or other relatives to get them through life.(59)____________ *They are not (60) ________ of the basics of respecting others.*They are not taught to work hard to (61)__________ their dreams *They don’t have the (62) _______ to make wise decisions and overcome difficulties independently.*They tend to expect others, such as their parents or siblings, to help them out when they are in (63)___________.Tips *Never (64) ____________ them; only help them when necessary. *Teach them the skills they need to make basic life decisions by themselves.Conclusion It’s time we went back to older values and ideas, and (65)___________ courage back into our young people and society.五．单词拼写（10分。

The mother can do nothing but stand behind the boy, depressed.It is the exact reflection of lack of communication between parents and children. Several reasons contribute to it. First, the Internet provides us with a place where we can communicate with different people, in which case we are addicted to the virtual world and keep our distance from people around us. Besides, pressure from study drives us to seek excitement on the Internet. Also, parents, busy with their work, spare little time to stay with their children.As far as I’m concerned, some effective measures should be taken by parents and children. In terms of children, we should cut back on the time when they play computers and be aware of the negative effects of the Internet. Parents and children should exchange their ideas and feelings regularly.听力材料：Text 1M: Would you mind if I borrowed your car?W: Well, when exactly?M: Until Monday or Tuesday of next week.W: I’m sorry, but my family is going out this weekend.Text 2W: How do you feel about your moving to Los Angeles, Jack?M: Well, I’m really looking forward to it.

The quickest way to get around London is no doubt ‘the tube’, London’s way of saying the Underground train. The tube is made up of twelve lines, each bearing a name and a color on the tube map. For example, the Central Line is red. And as its name suggests, it runs from east to west, taking in central London. The Circle Line is yellow, and is the only line which runs in a complete circle. About 2.5 million people use the tube each day. If you want to travel fast around London, taking the tube will get you to wherever you want quicker than bus or taxi. Trains generally leave every 3 or 4 minutes, less frequently at weekends and late at night. There are maps at each station, as well as inside each train, to make sure that you can see where you are going and that you are on the right train. If you find yourself going in the wrong direction, simply get off at the next station and cross the platform to the other side. Every train will show its direction on the front of the train. So, it is a good idea to look at the train as it is coming into the station.。
