He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thoug
16、ht he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jags side door! He slammed on the brakes. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you?”T
17、he young boy was apologetic. ”Please, Mister. . . Please, Im sorryI didnt know what else to do. I threw the brick because no one else would stop” With tears dripping down his face, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “Its my brother, ”he said. “He fell out of his wheelchair and I c
18、an t lift him up. ” Now sobbing, the boy asked the executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? Hes hurt and hes too heavy for me. ” Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the boy back into the wheelchair
19、, then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. “Thank you and may God bless you. ” the grateful child told the stranger. Shaken up for words, the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchairbound brother down the s

25、n in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages(also called SMS)through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text
26、 messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting. ” A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In add
27、ition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so its common to make words shorter. In texting；a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r”for “are, “ “u” for “you, ”and “2” for “to. ”Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “10l”for “laughing out loud. ”Another
28、 characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling“please” as“pls. ” Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her
29、. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face. ”) Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in
30、 which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past. 41What is the writers opinion of text messaging?AThe writer does not give his opinions. BIt is not bad for children. CIt will make children
31、 bad writers. DIt is fun and easy to do42Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?AUsing letters to represent words.BUsing phrases to represent essays.CUsing letters to represent phrases.DUsing numbers to represent words.43Which of the following was most probably the title of
32、the students essay?AMy Smmr Hols B.CU in LACMy GFDMyGr8Tchr44Why do some people think that texting is bad?AIt costs too muchBIts not comfortable. CTeenagers wont learn to write correctlyDIts too difficult for teenagers to type45Why arent some people worried about the effect of texting?ANot many peop
33、le use texting.BSpelling in English is too difficult. CTeenagers quickly become bored with texting. DTexting will disappear because of new technology.C With fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word r
34、ubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else. The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw
35、materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well. Another new proje
36、ct is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this：First, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed then it will pass through a
37、 powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids；After that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets(磁铁), which will remove the bits of iron and steel；The rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the fina
38、l stage. The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long. 46The phrase “be well on with”(Para. 1)most probably means
39、 .Ahave completed what was startedBget ready to startChave achieved a great deal inDput an end to47What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in paragraph 3?ABreaking up whatever is breakable. BSharpening metal bars. CSeparating light elements from the heavy ones. DSorting ou
40、t small pieces of metal. 48Whats the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?ATo deal with wastes in a better way. BTo protect the environment from pollution. CTo get raw materials locally. DTo get big profits from those plants. 49The first full-scale huge recycling plants . A
41、began to operate fifteen years ago Bwill probably take less than fifteen years to build Cwill be built for fifteen years Dwill probably be in operation in fifteen years50The passage is mainly about .

42、lity of city environmentDThe North and South poles are remote and freezing places that receive lots of animal visitors but few human tourists.But even if you never plan to visit the polar bears in the north or penguins in the south, now is a perfect time to start thinking about them. Thats because 2
43、022 marks the beginning of the International Polar Year (IPY), a two-year-old activity of science projects that aim to show how important the poles are to the health of our planet. During the IPY, which will last until March 2022, thousands of researchers from more than 60 countries will conduct mor
44、e than 200 projects and expeditions to both the top and bottom of the world.In recent years, the polar regions have begun to change severely as a result of global warming. Temperatures there are rising faster than anywhere else on Earth. As a result, the ice and snow in these regions are melting at
45、record-setting rates. One result is that sea levels are rising around the world, putting animals and people at risk.Only by studying the poles, say IPY researchers, can we find ways to protect them and ourselves.Both the Arctic and the Antarctic and cold and remote, but the two regions have importan
46、t differences. For one thing, the Arctic is an ice-covered ocean surrounded by land. The Antarctic, on the other hand, is a continent of ice-covered land surrounded by water.Most polar studies have focused on the Arctic, and that is where scientists have observed the most remarkable changes in the i
47、ce. During a typical year, Arctic ice expands in the winter and shrinks in the summer. But recently, the amount of ice covering the ocean has been steadily dropping in both seasons.51Which of the following might be the best tile of the passage?AEarths Poles Interest ScientistsBThe Animals of Earths
48、PolesCEarths Poles in DangerDThe Discoveries of Earths Poles52The goal of the International Polar Year is _.Ato make it clear that the poles have much to do with a healthy earthBto provide practical theory to further develop this distant areaCto call on as many scientists as possible to do research
49、on the polesDto discover more mysteries unknown to man53What is the main factor that has caused the changes of the poles?AThe increasing number of animals.BThe development of the poles.CThe melting of the poles.DThe rising temperature.54The main idea of the fifth paragraph probably is _.Ato explain
50、the poles are cold and remoteBto show the Arctic is more importantCto tell readers the differences of the two polesDto stress the Antarctic is more remarkable55What unusual phenomenon worries the scientists?AIn summer the ice of the Arctic loses faster.BThe ice covering the Arctic decreases even in
51、winter.CThe ice of the Arctic increases less than in the past.DThe changes in the Arctic are more serious.EPeople who studied plants have found that plants carry a small electrical charge(电荷). It is possible to measure this charge with a small piece of equipment called “galvanometer”. The galvanomet
52、er is placed on a leaf of the plant, and it records any changes in the electrical field of the leaf. Humans have a similar field which can charge when we are shocked for frightened.A man called Backster used a galvanometer for his studies of plants and was very surprised at his results. He found tha
53、t if he had two or more plants in a room and he began to destroy one of themperhaps by pulling off its leaves or by pulling it out of its potthen the galvanometer on the leaves of the other plants showed a change in the electrical field. It seemed as if the plants were signaling a feeling of shock.
54、This happened not only when Backster started to destroy plants, but also when he destroyed other living things such as insects.Backster said that the plants also knew if someone had destroyed a living thing some distance away, because they signals when a man who had just cut down a tree entered the
55、room.Another scientist, named Sauvin, achieved similar results to Backaters. he kept galvaometers fixed to his plants all the time and checked regularly to see what were sending. In this way, he found that the plants were sending out signals at the exact times when they felt strong, pleasure or pain
56、. In fact, Sauvin could cause a change in the electrical field of his plants over a distance of a few miles simply by thinking about them.56What was Backersters discovery?APlants carry galvanometer.BIt is possible to measure a small electrical charge with a small piece equipment called “galvanometer
57、”CThe small electrical charge on the leaves of the other plant can change if he destroyed the leaves on one of the two plants.DHumans have a similar field which can charge when we are shocked or frightened as plant.57Backster was surprised at the result of his studies because _.Ahe destroyed an inse

62、ide.The aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing (冲突) with another voice or leaving a pause.

Improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses is another. The course is taugh
65、t for three periods a week. Despite the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter. “In the first period, we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves. No laughing at people,” said Fanny, 17. Research by the school shows it is
66、not the first to start happiness classes: they also exist at some US universities, but are mainly based on positive thinking, using findings from studies of depression. “That would be too one-sided for us. We want to show how delicious food or exercise can help, too,” the principal said.61. Whats th
