The government of Nepal is telling climbers they cannot leave trash on the trails. Each climber will have to come down the mountain with at the least 18 pounds of garbage. That's the average amount of trash a climber leaves behind on Qomolangma.Officials say climbers are respons ible for their own trash. “We are not asking climbers to pick up trash left by someone else,” said the Nepal Tourism Ministry. “We just want them to bring back what they took up.”More than 4,000 people have reached the 29,035-foot summit (顶峰) in the past 60 years. Leaving trash along the way helps climbers keep their bags light so they have energy to reach the summit. “The trash problem in Qomolangma is not new.” Burlakoti says. “When the people started to climb the mountain, they started to leave their ga rbage there.” They have left behind bottles, food boxes and equipment. Last year, climbers carried down a total of four tons of trash.The new rule came into effect in April, 2014. To make sure it is followed, climbers will have to deposit money (交保证金) before they climb. Once they climb back down the mountain, officials will check climbers at a return camp to make sure they have the required 18 pounds of trash. If they do, their money will be returned to them. If they do not, climbers will not receive their deposit and they will not be given a permit the next time they want to climb Qomolangma.The goal is to make sure no more litter will be left on Qomolangma. “As we offer Qomolangma to all the people of the world they should take responsibility to clean it.” Burlakoti says, “After seeing the results from this, we will also apply this rule to other mountains.”36．Why does Qomolangma get the nickname the World’s Highest Garbage Dump?A．The white snow on it looks like white trash.B．The government of Nepal transported trash onto it.C．There is too much trash left on it by climbers.D．The government of Nepal has used up the resources on it.37．Who do officials of Nepal think should be responsible for climbers’ trash? A．Climbers themselves.B．The government of Nepal.C．The Nepal Tourism Ministry.D．Environmental protection organizations.38．Climbers left trash along the way in order to ________.A．provide guidance for other climbersB．help climbers themselves find their wayC．get timely medical rescue when in dangerD．reach the summit without too much load39．If climbers want to climb Qomolangma again, they must________.A．get the climbing licenseB．have a large bagC．get the permission from the local peopleD．bring back the required trash in the last climbing40．What is the best title for the passage?A．Protect our beautiful mountainsB．Bring back your litter when climbingC．A new rule of protecting the earthD．Qomolangma belonging to the world peopleJohn was part of my childhood growing up in the 1970s and a link to sunny, fun-filled days spent on the beach at Bangor in Northern Ireland where we went for our summer holidays. To many, he was a mystery. Every afternoon John would wander to the end of the pier (码头) where he fed the seagulls and delighted in the sound of their excited cries as they flew around his head.Often I asked my family questions regarding John. Eventually I gave up as no one could tell me anything about him. As I grew up, my visits to the beach became less frequent, and my memories of John buried in a child's imagination.Last year memories came flooding back as I walked along the coastline, where I noticed a lady feeding the seagulls on the pier, and I decided to introduce myself. Then I came to know that the lady was John's daughter, and after John left this world she carried out the ritual, which had held such importance for her father.In some strange way I felt we shared a bond, each needing to remember. In return, Lucy told me of John's life, his days in the British Navy (海军) during World War I and how he almost lost hope when his ship was attacked by a German U-boat in the North Sea and he found himself in a lifeboat with five others.Close to death, he thought he heard the sound of wings. He put up his hands, only to catch a seagull that had landed on the side of the boat. The seagull saved the lives of the six men as it was used to catch fish, which kept them alive until they reach land. This period of John's life was one he never talked about. But the ritual he first performed as a young man remained a part of him until he died.Now I visit Lucy as often as I can, just to chat or very often walk along the beach to the pier end. We enjoy the comfortable silence, each lost in special memories.41．Seeing John feeding the seagulls, the author might feel__________.A．proud B．worriedC．curious D．guilty42．Why did the author introduce herself to the lady?A．She wanted to make more friends.B．She was also fond of feeding seagulls.C．She was told the lady was John's daughter.D．She was attracted by what the lady was doing.43．The underlined word ''ritual" in the third paragraph can be replaced by _______. A．tradition B．lawC．interest D．procedure44．We can infer from the text that John _________.A．once served in both World Wars B．was a man with a grateful heart C．spent his childhood in Bangor D．joined the navy in the 1970s 45．What does the author mainly tell us in the text?A．Her thanks to a seagull that saved her life.B．The story of how she made friends with a lady.C．Her memories of a man who fed seagulls.D．Her childhood spent on the beach at Bangor.Father’s Day Sunset Live Music Dinner CruiseSunday, June 16th 6:30 pm-8:30 pmJoin us aboard the 95' Dana Pride for our special Father's Day Dinner Cruise.

But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do whil e this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.”I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and i s strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good t hings to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, d on’t be desperate. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy. 51．While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ___________.A．keep ourselves busyB．get absent-mindedC．grow anxiousD．stay focused52．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?\A．The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B．The Forced Wait makes people passive.C．The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.D．The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.53．What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A．It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B．It doesn’t always bring the desired result.C．It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D．It doesn’t give people faith and hope.54．What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?A．Take it seriously.B．Don’t rely on others.C．Do something else.D．Don’t lose heart.55．The author supports his view by _________.A．exploring various causes of “waits”.B．describing detailed processes of “waits”.C．analyzing different categories of “waits”D．revealing frustrat ing consequences of “waits”第II卷（非选择题）四、阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Guei gained a basketball scholarship．24.What Guei said in an interview with ESPN infers that ______ ．A. his family was very wealthyB. it was very hard for him to make moneyC. he was luckier than other studentsD. he was always ready to help others．25.Where can we most probably read this passage？______A. In a storybook．B. In a newspaper．C. In a science magazine．D. In an advertisement．CA food chain is a simple way of explaining how each living thing gets its food．For example ，a simple African food chain might consist of three parts：first，trees and bushes；second，giraffes；and third，lions．Each link in a food chain is food for the next link．Food chains always start with plants and end with animals．Plants are at the bottom of the food chain．Scientists call them producers，because they use light energy from the sun to produce food from carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis（光合作用）．Animals，unlike plants，can't produce their own food．Instead，they must eat plants or other animals．This is why scientists call them consumers．Consumer animals fall into three categories．Herbivores（食草动物）eat only plants．Carnivores（食肉动物）eat only other animals．Omnivores eat both plants and animals．In addition to producers and consumers，there are also decomposers（分解者）．These organisms，such as bacteria and fungi，feed on decaying（腐烂）matter．They help the food chain by speeding up the decaying process that releases minerals back into the soil to be absorbed by plants as nutrients．Most food chains have only four or five links in them．As you go up a food chain，the amount of energy at each level diminishes，because some of the energy is lost in the form of waste or is used up by the organism at the level．That is why it takes many plants，for example，to feed a few giraffes who in turn feed one lion．Most animals are part of many different food chains，because they must eat more than one type of food to satisfy their energy needs．All of these interconnected food chains form a more complex structure called a food web．Humans，for example，are at the center of a very complex food web，because we tend to eat many different types of plants and animals．26.Which of the following tells us the African food chain？______A. Trees，giraffes and lions live on one another．B. Giraffes eat lions and lions feed on bushes．C. Lions live on giraffes and giraffes eat trees．D. Bushes live on lions and lions eat giraffes．27.In the second paragraph，the author is mainly to ______ ．A. emphasize the importance of the plantsB. compare the plants and the animalsC. present the scientists' different viewsD. explain the producers and consumers28.The underlined word "diminishes"（in Paragraph 4）probably means ______ ．A. changesB. decreasesC. disappearsD. increases29.Those that may lie in the center of the food chain are ______ ．A. omnivoresB. decomposersC. herbivoresD. carnivores30.What would be the best title for this passage？______A. The Types of Plants and AnimalsB. The Differences among the Living ThingsC. Three Categories of the ConsumersD. The Food Chain in the Natural WorldDLife can be so wonderful，full of adventure and joy．It can also be full of challenges，setbacks and heartbreaks．Whatever our circumstances，we generally still have dreams，hopes and desires -that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones．Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem，because when we go to change the way we do things，up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place．This tension between what we feel we can have and "what were seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering，the anxiety we feel．This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up．But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more．The intelligence behind that knowing is us-the real us．It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities．If you drop that，you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you're dropping "you"．So，if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns？Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time．This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges．While，deep down，we know we can do it，our mind-or the minds of those close tous-usually says we can't．That isn't a reason to stop，it's just the mind，that little man or woman on your shoulder，trying to talk you out of something again．It has done it many times before．It's all about starting simple and doing it now．Decide and act before over-thinking．When you do this you may feel a little，or large，release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way．31.According to the passage，life is always ______ ．A. full of joyB. full of challengesC. so wonderfulD. changing32.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ______ ．A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have33.What is the key to breaking the old patterns？______A.
