A Light in the Darkness
We were movi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng to a new state after my husband had been out of work for many months and we had no money.In fact，we had to borrow money to reach our destination town.Anyway，it was my husband,2 boys aged 4 and 2，and myself,7 months pregnant(怀孕的)，in an old Volvo station wagon(旅行车)．We had been driving for 2 days in the middle of winter (the car’s heater didn’t work)，and we had taken a route that was very desolate.There was nothing around for miles—no cars，buildings，or signs of civilization.Suddenly，our car started losing power and the gauges(仪表) went all out of order.We saw a light in the distance and managed to roll to a stop in front of this property that looked like a small simple house.Our cell phones had not gotten reception for many miles，and it was freezing outside，so I didn’t know if we were going to make it out of this situation alive. My husband got out of the car to see if there was something he could do to get us rolling again，but it was not looking good.A short while later，a man came out of the residence and spoke with my husband a bit before inviting us all into his home.He and his wife took us in，fed us，and made us feel at home as we struggled to find some way to get to our destination，which was still a few hours’ drive away. We were able to call a friend and get a ride，leaving our broken car behind，but not before the couple gave us food and water for our journey.One week later，this dear sweet couple pulled our car all the way to our place and refused to take anything in return，except for us to pay it forward...and we have，and will continue to do so forever.

Twenty five ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )years ago if you made a trip to the local library and searched for articles on global warming，you’d probably come up with a few from the leading magazines in the world.As an Internet search on global warming now shows，the subject has become as rooted in people’s mind as Madonna or microwave cooking.
With the possible exc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eption of another world war，a giant planet，or an incurable disease，global warming may be the largest danger to our planet.For decades human factories and cars have sent billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere，and the climate has begun to show some signs of warming.If steps are not taken soon to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide sent into the atmosphere，the result could terribly affect human life.We have already seen growing destruction，such as drought and death in Sudan，flooding in Asia，bush fires in Indonesia，and fierce winter storms in central Europe.
The Republic of Maldi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ves is barely above sea level.Its 250,000 citizens are scattered across 1,200 islands in the Indian Ocean.A strong typhoon could spell the end for the entire country，as could continued rising sea levels.The entire population would have to be moved away as the country disappears under the sea.
The greenhouse e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ffect is a naturally occurring phenomenon that keeps our planet at a comfortable temperature averaging 60?．Since the mid nineteenth century，however，carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased nearly 30% because of the increased use of fossil fuels to run cars，heat homes and power factories.Without controlling，the amount of carbon dioxide by 2100 may increase by 30%～150% and could lift the average global temperature by up to 2.5? in the next 50 years.
40．With the first paragraph，the author intends to ________.21*cnjy*com
A．scold people for not paying enough attention to global warming
B．draw people’s attention to global warming
C．how to search for the articles on global warming
D．point out the serious effect of global warming
41．Global warming cou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld affect human life in the following ways EXCEPT ________.
A．producing more greenhouse gases
B．causing more floods
C．making winter storms fiercer
D．starting more bush fires
42．The Republic of Maldives ________.
A．has moved away their citizens
B．will be more likel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y to be destroyed by a strong typhoon than by the rising sea level
C．is mostly likely to be destroyed by the rising sea level
D．will have to move away most of their population
43．Why is the Repub ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lic of Maldives especially mentioned in the passage
A．Because smaller cou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntries are easier to be affected by global warming.
B．Because seaside countries are in danger of disappearing.
C．Because it’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )necessary to rescue a country before the sea level rises.
D．Because the se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rious result of global warming could end a whole country.
C
When a dirty and untid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to go there and pet him.I hadn’t touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years.I spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxed.What he was expressing outwardly，I was feeling inwardly.It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care.
Over the next few ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) days，there were other prisoners responding to the cat.They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat.These were guys you wouldn’t usually find talking to each other.Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away，but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners.Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread，wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it.
The cat was obviously ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )homeless and in pretty bad shape.People said that the cat came to the right place.He’s getting treated like a king.This was true，but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us.There was a lot of talk about what’s wrong with prisons in America.We need more programs.We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds.Some may even talk about making prisons more kind.But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness.Not receive it，but give it.After more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a value that’s encouraged.It’s often seen as a weakness.Instead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weak.
The cat did my heart g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ood to see the effect he had on me and the men here.By simply saying “I need some help here”，he did something important for us.He needed us.And we needed to be needed.
44．From the text，we can learn that the author was ______.
A．the owner of the cat
B．an animal protector
C．a prison officer
D．a prisoner
45．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison.
B．The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat.
C．The prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birds.
D．The author realised the importance of practising kindness.
46．We can infer from the third paragraph that ________.
A．showing love to others can make prisoners strongwww.21-cn-jy.com
B．the American prison culture will be improved
C．the author is not content with the prison culture
D．caring for others is encouraged in American prisons
47．What is the best title for the text
A．Caring Makes Us Human
B．Prison Culture Is Important
C．Animals Need Care
D．Everyone Needs to Be Cared for

Now，I am studying Engl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ish in Vermont.I can’t believe that I am learning another language.But，I am！I am crying because studying here makes me feel happy，and it makes me smile when I remember what the doctors said to my mom：“She will never be able to speak or to learn another language.”21世纪教育网版权所有

Hunting for a Job on the Internet
Nowadays more and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) more people would rather look for a job on the Internet than in the newspapers or in a job market.There are many reasons for their preference，one of which is that a job hunter can find a job conveniently without bothering to get recommendations from relatives or friends，or registration at an employment exchange.Besides，a job hunter can get a job by simply browsing among the ads online and sending resumes by e mails.Finally，the success rate is very high，and even if one fails to find a job，it can spare him the embarrassment of being refused.
As for me，I bel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ieve that with the increasing popularity of the Internet，this new way will win favor among more and more jobless people and laid off workers for its convenience，efficiency and high success rate.21·cn·jy·com

The UK has a wel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world.But to those who are new to it all，sometimes it can be confusing.

However，having jus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t left the comfort of home and all your friends behind，the prospect of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve wracking(令人焦虑不安的)．Where do you start？Who should you make friends with？Which clubs should you join 【出处：21教育名师】
Luckily，there wil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l be thousands of others in the same boat as you are worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot.So just take it all in slowly.Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.
Here is some top ad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：
Learn rules.Mak ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e sure you know British social etiquette(礼节)．Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
Be kind.Som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
Be sociable.The mor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e active you are，the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves his room.
Bring a doorsto ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )p.Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.
So with a bit of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) clever planning and effort，Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits.
1．Which of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he following statements is FALSE according to the passage 21·cn·jy·com
A．October is generally the busiest month for universities.2·1·c·n·j·y
B．It’s a good idea to put a doorstop in your door.
C．A bit of planning can make Freshers’ Week easier.2-1-c-n-j-y
D．The first wee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k of your every year at university is called Freshers’ Week.
2．We can infer from the 4th paragraph that ________.
A．the newcomers usually miss the days living at home【版权所有：21教育】
B．most of the students in the UK spend three years in universities
C．many freshers are worried about how to fit university life
D．all the new students will make new friends and join certain clubs
3．Why does the author suggest having wine glasses and snacks handy
A．To pass the busy university life.
B．To help make friends with other freshers.
C．To show yourself a drinker as others.
D．To pass the time in a happy way.
4．The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．tell the newcomers how to make a new start in universities
B．introduce something about higher education system of the UK
C．discuss something about the Freshers’ Week in the UK
D．advise the freshers how to behave well in the beginning
B
There are proba ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bly no people on Earth who like to gossip(说闲话) as much as the British.If prying into others’ lives were an Olympic sport，then Team GB would surely take the gold medal.
And when the Brit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ish can’t watch the lives of real people with glee，they have another source of entertainment to fall back on—the soap opera.British soap operas are very different to US TV dramas.For one，they are normally longer running.The two most popular，Coronation Street and Eastenders，have been running for 48 and 24 years respectively.Both are broadcast several times a week，so remarkably there have been more than 7,000 episodes of Coronation Street.
The most obvious dif ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ference is that，unlike US dramas，the British soap operas focus on the real world.There is little glamour，the stars are rarely rich，and they normally have boring jobs.Perhaps the appeal is that the lives of the characters often mirror the lives of the audience—but with some drama added.This means the viewer can relate to the characters and feel the pain and happiness they go through on the show.
Because these so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ap operas last for decades，the cast is ever changing.The shows rarely focus on one or two main characters.Like the real world，people come and go all the time.However，there are exceptions.Coronation Street’s William Roach,76，has played the role of Ken Barlow since the very first episode of the show in 1960，and he is still a regular.21*cnjy*com
The choice of which ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) soap opera you follow is often cultural：people from the north of British tend to watch Coronation Street as it is set in Manchester；people from the south generally prefer Eastenders，which is set in the east of London.The show is generally considered grittier and is aimed at a younger audience.
5．What does this passage mainly talk about
A．British people like to know things about other people.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
B．British team can get Olympic gold medals.
C．What is British soap opera.
D．People in the nort ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h like different things from the people in the south.
6．What is the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )main difference between American dramas and British soap operas
A．American dramas are longer.
B．British soap operas are longer.
C．American dramas deal with dangerous things.
D．British soap operas deal with real people.
7．Why do British people like to watch such operas www.21-cn-jy.com
A．They can find their own life from the operas.
B．They can enjoy the operas in their free time.
C．They can watch the operas for many years.
D．They care about the fate of the characters in the operas.21教育名师原创作品
8．One characteristic of British operas is that ________.
A．the characters play the same role for a long time
B．the characters in the play often change
C．people don’t know what will happen next
D．there is only one or two characters in them

“Conditions i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n outer space such as radiation and low gravity can cause big changes in the seeds，”said Chinese researcher Jin Xing.21·世纪*教育网
But not all the see ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ds are better after going to space.After returning to the Earth，the best seeds are selected.These seeds produce much more and also grow faster than normal seeds.As the safety of genetically modified food(转基因食品)is still being debated，some people doubt the safety of these “space vegetables” because some of their genes are changed during the trip to space.
But Jin holds a m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore positive view.He said，“Unlike genetically modified crops，no new genes are introduced to the space vegetables，so they are definitely safe.” China has also been cooperating with NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to grow some super size potatoes on the International Space Station.Special growth rooms use computers to control the light，temperature and humidity.Using this technology a new，virus free potato can be produced every 40 to 50 days instead of the previous yearly crop.【版权所有：21教育】

In a world with limi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted land，water and other natural resources(资源)，the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise.Actually，the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm.People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed，and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的) ways.That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products.In other words，we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.
Today，sustainable ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )development is a popular trend in many countries.According to a recent study，the global market for low carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade.China，for example，has set its mind on leading that market，hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution.It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy，and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high speed trains.In addition，we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油)，which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest.In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Governments can ful ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly develop the potential of these new markets.First，they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy.Besides，stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.Finally，governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction，and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.2-1-c-n-j-y
The major chall ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )enge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet.That is no small task，but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

A．it makes the world warmer
B．it consumes natural resources
C．it brings severe damage to forests
D．it makes growth hard to continue
6．What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A．China lacks wind and solar energy.
B．China is the leader of the low carbon market.
C．High speed trains are a low carbon development.
D．Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests. 21*cnjy*com
