My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags.‎ Mom creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden. ‎ I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.‎ I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.‎ Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.‎ ‎21. Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day?‎ A. Because Mother’s Day always falls shortly after Earth Day.‎ B. To stress that all the women in her family are environmentalists.‎ C. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.‎ D. Because her mother shows her concern to nature on Mother’s Day.‎ ‎22. Which of the following is NOT related to Mom’s “green life”?‎ A. Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy. B. Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers.‎ C. Setting a caught spider free in the garden D. Picking dandelions on busy streets.‎ ‎23. We can infer from the article that ______.‎ A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well B. the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard   ‎ C. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy life D. the author’s mother used to lecture her to protect the environment.‎ ‎24. What can be learned from the last paragraph?‎ A. Tomatoes make the author think of her mother.‎ B. The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself.‎ C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment.‎ D. The author really appreciates her mother’s teaching.‎ ‎ B Among the international students in Canada who are struggling to find a job there after graduation, some of them eventually make it with relative ease. They’re the ones who’ve already built up much internship(实习)experience while still attending university, as their majors offer a co-operative program. ‎ Co-op programs, a feature (特色）of Canadian university programs, allow academic studies to be combined with work experience. During school years, students get to network with employers, gain internship experience in relevant fields, and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.‎ Co -op programs are available in most comprehensive universities, like the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and York University. These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors. Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the co-op program. “It’s easy to understand,” said a senior education counselor. He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are well -known companies or local government organizations. Moreover, the average salary for interns is as high as C$30,000 to C$40,000 a year.‎ Students can choose to work during vacations or terra times freely. The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months, or four to six months for graduate students. “The programs also benefit those students who want to apply for immigration,” added the counselor. “That’s because the policies of many provinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applicants.”‎ ‎25．What’s the main characteristic of co-op programs?‎ A. They offer a variety of jobs in different fields.‎ B. They make academic credits easier to gain.‎ C. Employers work with students on their studies.‎ D. Students get work experience while at university.‎ ‎26．What does the example of foreign applicants indicate?‎ A. Co-op programs are becoming more popular.‎ B. The average salary for interns will increase.‎ C. Co-op programs are open to all majors.‎ D. Companies welcome foreign students.‎ ‎27．Which section of a website does the text probably come from?‎ A. Business. B. Education. C. Lifestyle. D. Culture.‎ ‎ C Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.‎ According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”‎ The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.‎ Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.‎ If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.‎ Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.‎ ‎28. It can be learned from the passage that stars today_______.‎ A. are often misunderstood by the public ‎ B. can no longer have their privacy protected C. spend too much on their public appearance ‎ D. care little about how they have come into fame ‎29. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.‎ B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.‎ C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.‎ D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.‎ ‎30. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?‎ A. Availability of modern media. B. Inadequate social recognition.‎ C. Lack of favorable chances. D. Huge population of fans.‎ ‎31. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?‎ A. Sincere. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.‎ D ‎ Holding a cell phone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be dangerous to your health. This explains a warning that cell phone manufacturers include in the small print that is often ignored when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry’s manufacturer, recommends ‎ 2.5 centimeters.‎ ‎ If health issues arise from cell phone use, the possible effects are huge. Voice calls—Americans chat on cell phones 2.26 trillion(万亿)minutes annually—earn $109 billion for the wireless carriers.‎ ‎ Devra Davis, an expert who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, “Disconnect.” The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.‎ ‎ Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.‎ ‎ “Most cancers have multiple causes,” she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.‎ ‎ Children are more vulnerable(易受伤的) to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid(易吸收的液体). No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.‎ ‎ Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.‎ ‎ Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen(腹部).‎ ‎32. According to Ms Davis, brain cancer increase ____.‎ A. among children B. among old people C. in the twenties D.among pregnant women ‎33. Why do children easily be affected by radiation?‎ A. Because they haven’t grown up. ‎ B. Because they are too young to protect themselves.‎ C. Because they use cell phones more often than adults.‎ D. Because their skulls are thinner and their brains are easily hurt.‎ ‎34. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?‎ A. Pregnant women should keep cell phones away.‎ B. People should use cell phones in the correct way.‎ C. If you are a child, you’d better text than make phone calls.‎ D. When you use a cell phone, use a wired headset or the phone’s speaker.‎ ‎35. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. Be careful when using cell phones.‎ B. Don’t hold your cell phone against your ear.‎ C. Rats exposed to radiation have damaged DNA in their brains.‎ D. Low-energy radiation could damage cells that could lead to cancer.‎ 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。‎ How to Win a High School Election ‎ If you plan on running for student office, you want to know how to win a high school election.36． You need to consider the following key elements (要素) of an election.‎ ‎■Learn About Your School.‎ ‎ Before you can be an official for your class, you will need to know about your class and the school as a whole.

When I was seven years old, my family tried to 41 an ant farm at home. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we brought some ants from the backyard and placed them into the 42 home.‎ ‎ Shortly after the new 43 were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew 44 what to do. After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had particular given jobs. With my mom’s help, I kept a journal of what happened each day and 45 the ants. My favorite was the biggest, Cinderella. I drew a picture of her in my journal, which I still have.‎ ‎ On day five a disaster 46 the ant farm.

They simply could not 51 the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed. Cinderella was the last to die; she did so while carrying a dead ant on her back. ‎ ‎ Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm.
