25、、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AAbout 90 percent of Chinese believe the polarization(分化) between the rich and poor is “serious” in China, according to a survey conducted by China Youth Daily. And more than 80 percent of the respondents(对象) surveyed said something must be done to narrow the expanding gap
26、 between the rich and poor, while 14.1 percent said it was necessary.The polarization has aroused wide concern among the public in recent years. The State Development and Reform Commission (国家发改委) said the Gini Coefficient had reached 0.47 for China, up from 0.29 two decades ago. Usually, a country
27、with a number above 0.4 is warned to pay attention to the income inequality problem.To find out the peoples view, the survey covered 10,250 respondents, between the ages of 20 and 30 with a college education and a monthly salary between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan. Surprisingly, most disagreed with the vie
28、w of experts who claim the urban-rural difference is causing the widening gap. More than 70 percent of the respondents believed that “ the group of special interests” is the prime reason for the polarization, followed by “people in power” 68 percent, and “bosses” 50 percent.Another unexpected findin
29、g is that almost all agreed that a good educational background and knowledge were not the decisive factors in gaining wealth. About 95 percent said rich people are not necessarily those who are able to speak English or have a college education.Today in China, rich people , accounting for 10 percent
30、of the population, control 45 percent of the total social fortune, and poor people, also 10 percent of the population, only control 1.5 percent, according to an investigation published by the National Bureau of Statistics last June.56. It can be inferred that the Gini Coefficient ( in paragraph 2) w

42、got to go, the United Nations top environmental official said Monday.Although recycling bags is on the rise in the United States , a guessed 90 billion thin bags go unrecycled a year. They were the second most common form of litter (垃圾) after cigarette butts (烟蒂) at the 2008 International Coastal Cl
43、eanup Day sponsored (主办) by the Ocean Conservancy, an ocean environmental group.“Single use plastic bags which choke ocean life, should be banned or phased out rapidly everywhere. There is simply no reason for manufacturing (生产) them anymore, anywhere,” said Achim Steiner, director of the UN Environ
44、ment Programme. His office advises UN member states on environmental policies.Steiners declaration accompanied a UNEP report that says plastic is the most common form of ocean litter. Ireland managed to cut single-use plastic bag consumption 90 percent by levying (征收) a fee on each bag that consumer
45、s use.In the United States , only San Francisco has completely banned plastic bags. Los Angeles will do so in 2010. Also, Washington, D.C.s city council is set to vote on a five-cent -a-bag tax later this month. On first reading, the bill passed completely. Similar proposals have failed in New York
46、and Philadelphia .Keith Christman, senior director for the plastics division of the American Chemistry Council , responded that the term “single-use” is misleading because most people actually reuse plastic bags.“A ban on plastic bags could also cause some unexpected results,” he said. In particular
47、, the increased demand for paper bags would double greenhouse emissions (排放) and create “a large increase in waste,” Christman said.Leading U.S. plastic bag manufacturers aim to increase the recycled content of plastic bags to 40 percent by 2015, he added. That would reduce plastic waste by 300 mill
48、ion pounds a year.“Recycling is what we see as the best approach for the US,” Christman said. “Plastic is just too valuable to waste.”63. Plastic is _ common form of ocean litter.A. the second mostB. the third most C. the fourth most D. the most64. In which place of America did the bill pass complet

51、pport from other world cities at a climate change conference.Leaders of the worlds 40 largest cities are meeting in Seoul this week for a summit (峰会) on fighting against global warming - the third to be held since 2005.“What we should do in Seoul is agree that we will stop the endless addiction of m
52、ankind to the internal combustion engine (内燃机),” said Johnson.He told a press conference the worlds cities consume 75 percent of its energy and produce 80 percent of the emissions which cause climate change.“The problem of our planet is an urban problem,” Johnson said, calling for “serious results”
53、in Seoul.He said the British capital wants to use the Olympics “to drive the greening and the improvement of our city” and noted that London promised to reduce carbon emissions by 60 percent by 2025.Johnson said the key measure was settling the problems relating to domestic (家庭的) and commercial buil
54、dings, which accounted for 70 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in London.This involved updating - fixing lagging (隔热层) - in large numbers of public buildings.Johnson said he is a “passionate cyclist” and said he would push ahead with cycle super-highways around London.Londons air quality problem,
55、 he said, was caused by vehicle emissions from 8,300 broken diesel (柴油) buses, which could be replaced by low-carbon vehicles.There were also 32,000 taxis running on diesel fuel, which could be replaced by electric vehicles.Johnson said there would be a great program in the next few years to produce

Waste-to-energy plants generate (产生) enough electricity to supply 2.4 million
59、households in the US. But, providing electricity is not the major advantage of waste-to-energy plants. In fact, it costs more to generate electricity at a waste-to-energy plant than it does at a coal, nuclear, or hydropower plant. The major advantage of burning waste is that it considerably reduces
60、the amount of trash going to landfills. The average American produces more than 1,600 pounds of waste a year. If all this waste were landfilled (在垃圾填埋地上处理), it would take more than two cubic yards of landfill space. Thats the volume of a box three feet long, three feet wide, and six feet high. If th
61、at waste were burned, the ashes would fit into a box three feet long, three feet wide, but only nine inches high! Some communities in the Northeast may be running out of land for new landfills. And, since most people dont want landfills in their backyards, it has become more difficult to obtain perm
62、its to build new landfills. Taking the country as a whole, the United States has plenty of open space, of course, but it is expensive to transport garbage a long distance to put it into a landfill. TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN? Some people are concerned that burning garbage may harm the environment. Like
63、coal plants, waste-to-energy plants produce air pollution when the fuel is burned to produce steam or electricity. Burning garbage releases the chemicals and substances found in the waste. Some chemicals can be a threat to people, the environment, or both, if they are not properly controlled. Some c
64、ritics of waste-to-energy plants are afraid that burning waste will hamper (妨碍，阻碍) recycling programs. If everyone sends their trash to a waste-to-energy plant, they say, there will be little motive to recycle. Several states have considered or are considering banning waste-to-energy plants unless r
65、ecycling programs are in place. Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York City have delayed new waste-to-energy plants, hoping to increase the level of recycling first. So, whats the real story? Can recycling and burning waste coexist? At first glance, recycling and waste-to-energy seem to be at odds
66、(不一致), but they can actually complement (弥补) each other. Thats because it makes good sense to recycle some materials, and better sense to burn others. Lets look at aluminum, for example. Aluminum mineral is so expensive to mine that recycling aluminum more than pays for itself. Burning it produces n
67、o energy. So clearly, aluminum is valuable to recycle and not useful to burn. Paper, on the other hand, can either be burned or recycledit all depends on the price the used paper will bring. Plastics are another matter. Because plastics are made from petroleum and natural gas, they are excellent sou
68、rces of energy for waste-to-energy plants. This is especially true since plastics are not as easy to recycle as steel, aluminum, or paper. Plastics almost always have to be hand sorted and making a product from recycled plastics may cost more than making it from new materials. To burn or not to burn
69、 is not really the question. We should use both recycling and waste-to-energy as alternatives to landfilling. Waste to EnergyJUST BURN IT!WHY BURN WASTE?Advantages of waste to energyThough at a high (71) _, waste-to-energy plants can produce enough electricity for 2.4 million UShouseholds.Burning wa

(79)_ Whether to burn or not to burn, we should (80) _ landfilling with both recycling and waste-to-energy to deal with garbage. 第五部分书面表达（满分25分）目前，不少人在写作文或交流时喜欢使用网络语言。就此现象，你班最近举行了一场讨论。请根据下表的提示，客观地介绍讨论的情况及你的观点。40%的同学认为60%的同学认为

75、eOne possible versionNowadays, with the development of the Internet, there has come a kind of language called Web Language. Recently, our class has held a discussion on whether its good for students to use Web Language in writing compositions or communication.40% of the students are not in favor of
76、the idea of using Web Language, thinking it ridiculous to see or hear words which are not commonly used in our daily life. Worse still, its hard for them to make themselves understood. In their opinion, it is against Chinese grammar, and its not beneficial to students studies.However, the rest of th
77、e students are fond of it. They think what they say will sound humorous, which makes the language more lively. Moreover, it is of special help for them to express themselves freely.In my opinion, it is a phenomenon worth thinking about. I dont think it good to use Web Language. It may be fashionable
