When he was still in his mothers tummy (肚子), she had had an accident, which 36 that Charlie couldnt walk. But that had never been a(n) 37 for him; he had always been happy. When he became
18、 older, they had started calling him Cheerful Charlie because of his joyful and 38 nature. He really brightened everything up for those around him.There wasnt a postman, or a taxi driver who wasnt 39 to see Charlie. “Cheer up, Mr. Postman, that way youll 40 more letters today!” he would say, or “Tha
19、t was great, Mr. Taxi Driver. You 41 that thing better than anyone else.” He also had great ideas and 42 for everything; and he shared them so 43 that, just about every day in that town, someone did a great job, or 44 something new, thanks to Charlies ideas.One day, though, he came up against a real
20、 45 . A young boy came to town on his holidays. He was known as Waterworks and was a real crybaby. No matter what Charlie said to him, Waterworks would always find some 46 to be sad: “I dont have many sweetsmy parents didnt buy me that toy” Everything seemed so bad to him. But Cheerful Charlie wasnt
21、 going to be 47 , and he kept spending more time with Waterworks, 48 trying to cheer him up, just as he did with everyone.Then, one day, when they were together in the street, someone 49 a pie from a window above by chance, and it landed 50 on Charlies head. He got such a fright that he couldnt even
22、 move his lips. He was speechless, and 51 Waterworks was just about to cry, he 52 Charlies happy words so much that he finally said, “Wow, Charlie, thats a nice clown mask (小丑面具) you just 53 !”On saying those words, Waterworks felt so 54 that he finally understood why Charlie was always so happy and

Perhaps the idea of giving up meat doesnt appeal, but you may think twice after reading
27、 this. In reality, becoming a vegetarian can help a lot.Being vegetarian could help the poor. A huge percentage of the worlds grain is fed to animals. Apparently, if just 10% of this was given to poor countries, itd be enough to eradicate world famine. Eating meat supports cruelty to animals. While
28、its nice to think that animals are killed quickly and painlessly, it isnt always true. Also, most livestock animals（家畜）spend their lives in small, cramped cages with no sunlight. Some, such as battery-farm chickens, are bred specifically for meat, and are given chemicals so they grow more quickly Ye
29、p! Its a salad Recent studies have shown that pigscows sheep and chickens are actually smarter than cats and dogs animals that most people would never dream of eating. Cows can make lifelong friends with other cows, and show genuine excitement when they learn something new; and chickens and pigs hav
30、e successfully completed complex tasks designed for chimpanzees. Going vegetarian can help the environment. Producing meat causes more than 40 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions. Thats more than all the cars, trucks and planes in the world combined. The meat industry is also responsible for the
31、 destruction of forests (which are cut down to provide land for cattle), and it also creates pollution when transporting, manufacturing and packaging the meat. Cows also emit a lot of methane gas（甲烷）, which is 23 times more damaging to the environment than carbon dioxide. In fact, one Japanese study
32、 found that a kilogram of beef is responsible for more greenhouse gas than someone driving their car for three hours as well as leaving all their lights on at home. Finally, studies show that a meat-free diet is good for your health. The excessive consumption of meat can lead to high cholesterol （胆固
33、醇）levels, and is also thought to be a major cause of serious health problems such as cancer and heart disease. In general, vegetarians are slimmer and theyre know to live six to 10 years longer than meat eaters. And its a myth（荒诞的说法）that vegetarians arent as strong or healthy as meateaters just ask
34、Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who both agree that eating a vegetarian diet is a healthy way to live.Going vegetarian helps feed the world, benefits animals, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Above all, going vegetarian is beneficial to our health. Why not become a vegetarian? Join us!56
35、. Producing meat _. A. causes over half of all greenhouse gas emissions.B. emits more methane gas than carbon dioxide.C. causes more greenhouse gas missions than all the cars, trucks and planes in the world combined.D. costs a lot of money and consumes a lot of energy. 57. According to the passage,
36、eating too much meat can lead to the following EXCEPT_.A. overweightB. high cholesterol levelsC. sleeplessnessD. heart attack58. What is the main idea of the passage?A/ Health benefits of meat-free diet.B. Reduction of greenhouse gas emission.C. Advantages of balanced diets.D. Top reasons for not ea
37、ting meat.59. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP: Central pointP: PointSp: Sub-point（次要点）C：ConclusionBNumerous academic studies have proven the positive effects that office plants can have in indoor environments. But can regular office plants really help when it comes to re
38、ducing office noise? The answer is yes, providing you know what youre doing. For example, one small lonely office plant on the end of your desk is not really going to have much impact on noise reduction, strategically positioned office plants or planted office displays can however help you to dim so
39、und levels significantly. Plants have been used for many years externally to help reduce the levels of traffic noise from reaching offices indoors. Recent years have however, seen an increase in the number of office plants being used inside business premises as a means to reduce the levels of noise
40、generated inside a building. If you find your noisy neighbor on the next desk more annoying than the drum of cars outside you will be pleased to hear that indoor office plants can also absorb or reflect background noise inside office buildings. Not only does this create a more comfortable workplace
41、for employees but is also potentially more profitable for employers as employees that are less distracted(分心的)should be more productive. Office plant parts can actually break up sound waves resulting in a change of direction, thus a reduction in the frequency of the sound. A study at the South Bank
42、University even showed that common house and office plants could help to reduce noise levels by as much as 5 decibels!The research carried out by the South Bank University in London, looked into the benefits of plants on acoustic levels and showed that plants were,m general, more efficient at absorl
43、oing noise at high frequencies. In comparison with other building materiais the plants proved themselves superior with specific praise going to the Dracaena Marginata（马尾铁树）and the Ficus Benjamina(垂叶榕)60. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A good way to improve indoor environments B. Off
44、ice plants can reduce office noiseC. Office plants can improve productivity D. A research on the effects o office plants61. What will happen if you put a small plant on your desk? A. It can reduce noise greatly. B. It doesnt reduce noise much. C. It can reduce nearby noise. D. It can prevent noise f
45、rom coming into your ears.62. According to the researchers, plants are best at . A. reflecting background noise B. reducing noise at low frequencies C,. reducing traffic noise D. absorbing noise at high frequencies63. What do we know about the Dracaena Marginata and the Ficus Benjamina mentioned in
46、the last paragraph?A. They are the most popular plants in offices. B. They are not very welcomed by office workers.C. They are quite effective in reducing office noise. D. They are pleasant to look at.C“Success begin with belief and ends with doubt. “Larina Kase I remember reading through a book and
47、 the author was writing about being a reverse paranoid. In that particular section he mentions how he has a belief that the world hes living in, is out to give him everything he absolutely wants and desires. There are times when I think to myself, “Wow, the world is out to get me and make me miserab
48、le.” Then I thought, why cant I believe that the world is out to make me a better conversationalist. Then I started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia. When I started talking to people, I truly believed that I was the most interesting person in the room. I believed that everything I said
49、 added value to the conversation. I believed that people stayed behind and chatted with me because they found me charismatic. As a matter of fact for about five months I wrote down on my bathroom mirror the following affirmation. “People love me and respect me. It is a privilege to talk to me. Peopl
50、e find me interesting and charming and always want to get to know me better!”I would say the affirmation after I brushed my teenth. And I would continue to say it until I felt completely great about myself. There were days that I just wouldnt feel like saying it, because it would feel like a lie to
51、me. But thats the trouble, like the quote says, success ends when theres doubt. And thats why I continued until I had no doubt in my mind. Then strange things happened. I noticed that people did find me more interesting, and that I gained more confidence in talking with people. I was more assertive（
52、坚定自信的）at work. I was able to control politics and gossip at work to minimal levels, and became a much better manager, and developed better customer relation to the point that sales were up by 20% compared to the year before, on my best month sales were up by 39%, and this was a year that a recession
53、 was happening. 64. The main purpose of the author is to _. A. explain how to be a reverse paranoid.B. share his personal experience in success.C. tell us the importance of positive thinking D. advise us how to improve our communication skills. 65. Sometimes the author didnt feel like saying his aff
54、irmation because _. A. it didnt work as he had expected. B. he had become enthusiastic about conversations.C. he had felt great about himself.D. it didnt sound true to himself.66. We can infer from the last paragraph that the author _.A. didnt believe what had happened at work.B. didnt get along wit
55、h others at work.C. had his performance at work affected by the recession. D. made great progress due to his affirmation. 67. The underlined work “charismatic” has a similar meaning to _. A. charmingB. boringC. generousD. honestD People used to think that wetlands were wasted land. Developers would
56、drain them with ditches, fill them in with tons of soil, and build houses, schools, and parking areas on them. Then scientists began to realize the important role wetlands played in the environment. Wetlands act like giant sponges during storms. They soak up extra storm water and afterward release i
57、t slowly back into the water cycle. This helps prevent flooding. Towns where people have drained wetlands have found that in a big storm, their streets and homes are often flooded because there are no wetlands to soak up the excess water. Wetlands also act as giant filters where pollutants are absor
58、bed and dissolved over time. Though wetlands can become polluted from dumping, wastewater, and fertilizer runoff from farm fields, they are able to process some pollutants over time because of all the microorganisms and plants living there. Wetlands are especially important for providing homes and b
59、reeding grounds to millions of birds, fish, and amphibians worldwide. Many wetlands have become national wildlife refuges, where you can go to take pictures and look at birds and animals.The Everglades are a huge wetland that once covered more than four million acres of southern Florida. Sometimes c
60、alled the “river of grass,” the Everglades are a shallow sheet of water that slowly flowed across a grassy plain. In the late 1800s people began draining parts of the Everglades for development. Roads were built and towns sprang up. The Everglades shrank to half its original size. Cities like Miami
61、grew up where once there was a thriving wetland. Sewage and waste from the cities were pumped into the remaining wetlands. Over time scientists began to see the importance of the Everglades. Even with its smaller size, the Everglades filtered the pollutants coming from the cities, absorbing the wors
62、t of it like a sewage treatment plant. During storms the Everglades protected the cities from storm surge flooding. They also are just a great place to visit and see wildlife.68. The firstparagraph is intended to tell us _.A. wasted land used to be wetlands.B. people didnt know the importance of wet
63、lands beforeC. wetlands used to be undisturbed.D. wetlands can be used for building69. Why can wetlands be compared to giant sponge?A. They absorb extra water from stormsB. They become large or small in size.C. They absorb pollutants and dissolve them. D. They are made of soft soil.70. The example o
64、f the Everglades is given in the last paragraph to show _. A. the threat to wetlandsB. the protection of wetlandsC. the development of wetlandsD. the importance of wetlands71. We can infer from the passage that _.A. some wetlands can be used to build cities or towns. B. wetlands in the world are dis
65、appearing fast. C. wetlands play an important role in the ecosystem. D. wetlands are especially important to wildlife. EMarie and Michael had been dating for some time, and felt fortunate that even though they had different jobs, they were able to talk with each other through their work almost every
66、 day. Michael is a police officer, and Marie is a “911” dispatcher（调度员）, both working for the same police department. One day, Marie received a call from Michael who said he was out on the road in his patrol car. “Marie, would you do me a favor?”“Sure,” Marie answered, happy to have an excuse to tal
67、k to him. “Could you check a license plate for me? I need to see if this guy has any unpaid warrants（罚单）.” Michael explained. “Okay, spell it for me.”Michael phonetically spelled out the license plate, using code names, as all police officers do, so Marie would be sure to get the right letter: Willi
68、am Ida Lincoln Lincoln Young Ocean Union Mary Adam Robert Robert Young Mary Edward As she did hundreds of times a day, Marie wrote down the letters on a piece of paper, typed them into her computer, and started to run the license check. At first, she was puzzled. This license plate number was too lo
69、ng,even for a personalized plate. Her coworkers, who were in on Michaels “plan”, finally had to say, “Marie, what do those letters spell?” This time, Marie read just the first letters of each word out loud:W-I-L-L Y-O-U M-A-R-R-Y M-E? With a cry of joy, Marie was all smiles as she got back on the ph

71、 no “copping out”（回避） on this proposal!72Michael asked Marie to check a license plate for him because .Ahe was too busy to check out the identity of the driver himselfBhe wanted to ask her to marry him in this wayCMichael needed the information urgentlyDMichael didnt have access to a computer at tha

85、re with this view. Its true that our future is determined by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but our own attitude, determination, an hard work play a more important role. In other words, we are the master of our own future. Take Abraham Lincoln, for example. He was born in a
86、 poor family, and only received a limited education in his childhood. Yet through his painstaking efforts, he changed not only his own fate but also the history of America. Even to this day, Lincoln is regarded as one of the most inspiring figures in the world. Therefore, I firmly believe that our future is in our own hands.
