But once you look at them with some p
2、erspective, you will certainly feel easy. Here is a normal boarding day. Early Morning: Usually boarders get up around 7: 00 am and have around an hour to take a shower and put on their uniform before breakfast. Lessons: Classes start at 9: 00 am and every lesson lasts for 50 minutes. After two less

6、edtime: In most boarding schools, the lights go out around 10: 30 pm. Being nervous just before you go to a boarding school is completely normal and understandable.

9、uce a new school life. D. To advertise for boarding schools. BOnline, English has become a common language for users from around the world. In the process, the language itself is changing. There are now thought to be some 4.5 billion web pages worldwide. Some language experts predict that within 10
10、years English will occupy the internet but in forms very different to what we accept and recognize as English today.Thats because people who speak English as a second language already outnumber native speakers. And increasingly, they use it to communicate with other non-native speakers, particularly
11、 on the internet where less attention is paid to grammar and spelling and users dont have to worry about their accent (口音).Users of Facebook already socialize in a number of different “Englishes” including Indian English, Spanish English and Korean English. While these different styles have long exi
12、sted within their cultures, theyre now expanding and coming online. Technology companies are introducing newly-developed English words with products aimed at enabling users to add words that are not already in the English dictionary. And most large companies have English websites, while smaller busi
13、nesses are learning that they need a common language English to reach global customers.The increasing popularity of the internet allows more languages to develop quickly.“Most people actually speak several languages its less common to only speak one,” says Mr. Munro. “English has taken its place as
14、the worlds common language, but its not pushing out other languages.” Instead, other languages are pushing their way into English, and in the process creating something new.24.

English will become the only language in the world.D. Chinese used to be the worlds common language.CThere is a restaurant in my Maine t
18、own that has done little to update itself over the past 80 years. This is part of its charm, as is the wooden phone booth that sits neglected (忽略) in the age of the cellphone. Ah, the phone booth. We need it now more than ever.For me it symbolizes that phone calls were once private affairs, even if
19、the information being shared was not sensitive in any way. It was simply assumed that a phone conversation was meant for two people, and two people only. Growing up in the 1960s, we had only phone in the house. As a kid, I didnt get, or make many calls because all my friends live within earshot and
20、I could just yell out the window if I wanted their attention. I do, however, remember answering the phone, asking for the identity of the caller, and then handing the phone to my mom. Shed take it, say “Hello, Mrsone moment please,” and then as she placed her hand over the receiver, she turned to me
21、, and directed, “This is for me. Why dont you go outside and play?”Flash forward to what cellphones have done to our life. Within the space of a few years, overhearing private conversations seems to be normal. Not long ago I was sitting in Bostons South Station, near a man who was on his cellphone,
22、waiting for my train.The following is what the man had to say, “Yes, thats right. The red and yellow roses.” Then he continued to recite his card number and deadline. I stared at the fellow. He glanced at me and asked, “What?” My response was immediate: I recited his card number back to him, along w
23、ith the deadline.There is no longer a sense of personal borders or limits. The cellphone has become a megaphone (扩音器), and I have been privy (私下知情) to details of peoples lives that I would rather not know. Maybe phone booths could serve as cellphone harbors today.28. What feature does the restaurant
24、 in Maine town have?A. It is very popular. B. It is old-fashioned. C. It will close down. D. It has been neglected.29. As a kid, the author _.A. had few friends B. often called his friendsC. was not allowed to answer the phoneD. learned that phone conversations are private30. What is the authors att
25、itude towards cellphone?A. Critical. B. Tolerate. C. Optimistic. D. Approving.31. What did the author do in Bostons South Station?A. He talked to an old friend.B. He bought some colorful roses.C. He overheard a mans personal information.D. He helped a stranger who was making a call. DSteven Stein li
26、kes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is guarding an indus
27、try behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are banned in some 90 cities in California, including LosAngeles
28、. Seeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people think.Among the bag makers reasons: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require
29、 more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the
30、longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists do not dispute (质疑) these points. They ho
31、pe paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.32.What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.33. What does the word “h
32、eadwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags in trees. 34. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less
33、 strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste Control 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项
