The city of Rome ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )has passed a new law to prevent cruelty to animals.All goldfish bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.2-1-c-n-j-y
This comes after a nat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ional law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert cats or dogs.
“The civiliza ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion of a city can be measured by this，”said Monica Cirinna，the councilor(议员) behind the new law.
“It’s good to do wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )atever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence with their attention，” she told a Rome newspaper.
The newspaper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go blind.
“Rome has tried t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o protect fish more than anywhere else in the world.It stands out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals who deserve(值得) our respect and compassion every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals，”said Karin Robertson，a director of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.21cnjy.com
Last year a law was p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )assed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big fines(罚款) and prison sentences.Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.
The northern cit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of up to $598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.
The new law in Rome ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )also says that owners mustn’t leave their dogs in hot cars or cut their dogs’ tails to make them look lovelier.The law also gives legal recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats.The cats live all over the city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.
60．The new law passed in Rome will________.
A．help improve fishing environment
B．guarantee better conditions for goldfish

61．People in Rome ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) believe that the civilization of a city can be judged by its________.
A．exchanges with other cities
B．protection for ancient ruins
C．awareness of animal protection
D．recognition of animal lovers
62．The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) word “compassion” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “________”．

63．People may break the law in Turin if they________.

C
Astronauts on shorter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shuttle missions(使命) often work very long days.Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day’s work.This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station(ISS)．ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year.They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible.Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework.They can communicate with family and friends by email，internet phone and through private video conferences.
While astronauts ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cannot go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit，there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy.Before a mission，the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos，messages，videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth.During their mission，the crew also receives care packages with CDs，books，magazines，photos and letters.And as from early 2010，the internet became available on the ISS，giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing(冲浪)” in their personal time.Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments，astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth.Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day，and every moment offers a new view of the Earth’s vast land mass and oceans. (2012·辽宁，B篇)

A．get more pleasure in space than on the Earth
B．find living in space a bit boring and tiring
C．regard space life as common
D．love to see the Earth from space
67．The passage mainly discusses how astronauts________.
A．work for longer missions in space

C．observe the Earth from space
D．spend their free time in space
D
Honey(蜂蜜) from the A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )frican forest is not only a kind of natural sugar，it is also delicious.Most people，and many animals，like eating it.However，the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest(巢) and take the honey from it.Often，these nests are high up in trees，and it is difficult to find them.In parts of Africa，though，people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es not actually like honey，but it does like the wax(蜂蜡) in the beehives(蜂房)．The little bird cannot reach this wax，which is deep inside the bees’ nest.So，when it finds a suitable nest，it looks for someone to help it.The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people.Once it has their attention，it flies through the forest，waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.When they finally arrive at the nest，the_follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches.Some of the honey，and the wax，always falls to the ground，and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax，but it is very determined in its efforts to get it.The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives，and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit .(2012·新课标全国，B篇)

B．it goes to church
C．it sings in the forest
D．it reaches into bees’ nests
71．What can be the best title for the text

Boiler rooms are ofte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n dirty and steamy，but this one is clean and cool.Fox Point is a very new 47 unit living building in South Bronx，one of the city’s poorest areas.Two thirds of the people living there are formerly(以前) homeless people，whose rent is paid by the government.The rest are low income families.The boiler room has special equipment，which produces energy for electricity and heat.It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air，reducing carbon emissions(碳排放)while also cutting costs.
Fox Point is ope ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rated by Palladia，a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy people.Palladia received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP)，which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers.
ECP has creat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed national standards for healthy，environmentally(环境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called the Green Communities Standards.These standards include water keeping，energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials.Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%，which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs.Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.
Michael Bloomberg，N ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ew York’s mayor，plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for 500,000 New Yorkers.Almost 80% of New York City’s greenhouse gas emissions come from buildings，and 40% of those are caused by housing.So he recently announced that the city’s Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD)，whose duty is to develop and keep the city’s supply of affordable housing，will require all its new projects to follow ECP’s green standards.
Similar measures hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e been taken by other cities，such as Cleveland and Denver，but New York’s DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.
72．What is the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) purpose of describing the boiler rooms in the first paragraph
A．To explain the measures the city takes to care for poor people.
B．To suggest that affordable housing is possible in all areas.
C．To show how the environment friendly building works.
D．To compare old and new boiler rooms.
73．What is an advantag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e of the buildings meeting the Green Communities Standards
A．Lower running costs.
B．Costing less in construction.
C．Less air to be lost in hot days.
D．Better prices for homeless people.
74．It can be learned from the text that________.
A．New York City is seriously polluted
B．people’s daily life causes many carbon emissions in New York City
C．a great number ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of people in New York City don’t have houses to live in
D．some other citie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s have developed more affordable housing than New York City
75．What is the main purpose of this text
A．To call on people to pay more attention to housing problems.
B．To prove that some standards are needed for affordable housing.
C．To ask society to help homeless people and low income families.
D．To introduce healthy，environmentally clever and affordable housing.

M：New York i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s a wonderful city，without doubt the most interesting city in the world today，but I’m afraid the weather there is not very good.21世纪教育网版权所有
W：Is it very cold in New York，Mr.Smith
M：Sometimes it’s v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ery cold，and sometimes it’s very warm.On some days in winter it seems that there is no colder place in the world，because the air is always wet.
W：And in summer it’s very hot
M：Very hot.It’s a larg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e city，and there is little wind.The air in summer is often damp and heavy.21*cnjy*com
W：But why do so many people live there
M：Most people grow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) accustomed to the weather，but there are many others who complain about it all the time.
W：Is the weather always unpleasant
M：Oh，no.On the contr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ary，there are many beautiful days in New York，especially in spring and in autumn.The sun shines；the sky is clear and blue；people walk along the streets or sit in the parks in the sun.The really unpleasant part，I suppose，is that the weather in New York changes often and so suddenly.One day it’s warm，and the next day it’s cold.One day it rains，and the next day it’s clear and sunny.There is a story which says that when a visitor to New York complains about the weather，the New Yorker always answers，“Don’t you like our weather？Then wait a minute！It’ll change.”

W：Welcome to the prog ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ram.This afternoon I’m standing in the middle of the northern Black Forest，with Rainer Sanger.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

W：Rainer，you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’re very concerned about this area of the forest.Can you tell us why
M：Well，much ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the forest was wiped out in the terrible storm last winter，as you can see.Many of the trees are dead，and more are dying because of the damage.We believe that the government isn’t doing enough right now to make this beautiful forest get into its former state.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

W：But it’s not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )just an excuse，is it？They clearly don’t have enough money for everything and the storm was an unexpected occurrence.
M：Of course，we appr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eciate that，and the point is that actually we aren’t asking for much money.We would just like their guidance—we can provide volunteers to work on the forest.

How much sleep do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )we need？We are all different.Some people need only three or four hours of sleep a night.Others need ten hours of sleep a night.Most Americans sleep an average of seven to eight hours a night.After the age of fifty，the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.
Many people ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nnot fall asleep at night.Above one in three Americans has a problem with sleep.The name of this problem is insomnia.
This is not a new ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) problem.Many famous people in history had insomnia.Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep.Benjamin Franklin，the famous statesman and inventor，had four beds.He moved from bed to bed to fall asleep.King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them.Mark Twain，the famous American writer，had a different way.He lay on his side across the end of his bed!

As can be seen in th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e picture，a tree protected by a fence is very short with only a few leaves，while the other tree without protection grows tall and strong，with a mass of branches and leaves.
The picture conve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys the message that sometimes too much protection has an ill effect on people，especially on children.It will limit their growth and independence.Children should be provided with enough space and freedom but not too much protection and limitation，since no one can grow up without experiencing hardship and challenge.It’s better for children to get more chances to develop their personalities and try to solve problems to the best of their ability.

Is a Training Class or Family Teacher Necessary
More_and_more_middle_ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )school_students_are_going_to_all_kinds_of_training_classes_or_having_family_teachers_at_the_weekend.
Our class had a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )heated debate.There are two different viewpoints about it.
Some think it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )necessary.Firstly，it’s more effective to study with a teacher than by themselves.Secondly，it can strengthen what has been learnt in class.Besides，they can learn a lot more.Others think it unnecessary.For one thing，students can easily form the habit of dependence.For another，students need time to relax from time to time.What’s more，the purpose of many training classes and family teachers is to make money.
In my opinion， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )whether a training class or family teacher is needed just depends.If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject，maybe it’s OK for you.But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher，otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.

A
In the anima ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l kingdom，weakness can bring about aggression in other animals.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.21·世纪*教育网
From my wheelchair exp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don’t get to see this soft side of others.Often we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.【版权所有：21教育】
Last month，when I w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as driving home on a busy highway，I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，horning(按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flash ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lights，I was saying to the other drivers，“I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can.”And everyone understood.Several times，I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.www.21-cn-jy.com
Sometimes sit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way.But those are few and far between.More often，it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we’re scared.
1．The author has discovered that people will feel happy when________.
A．they offer their help
B．they receive others’ help
C．they feel others’ kindness
D．they show their weakness

A．he has a soft heart
B．he relies much on others
C．some people pretend to be kind
D．some people fail to see the kindness in others
3．In this passage，the author advises us to________.2-1-c-n-j-y
A．handle problems by ourselves
B．accept help from others
C．admit our weakness
D．show our bravery

C．Weakness and Strength

But in order to make ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )more money，people have built more and more factories.These factories send out waste smoke and water with chemicals which are harmful to the environment.The pollution is becoming worse and worse，and as a result，some animals and plants die out.With the development of agriculture，farmers spray aerosol and fertilizer，which also pollute the water and air.In the street the cars and buses are sending out heavy smoke which pollutes the air badly.Even tourism is harmful to the environment.When some tourists travel somewhere，they throw the plastic bags and rubbish onto the ground.
These behaviors are p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )olluting the environment and the environment will become the greatest problem of the world.We shouldn’t pollute the environment any more.Otherwise more and more animals and plants will disappear.And maybe my dream will come true in the future.

Pierre is a 25 year ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) old penguin at the California Academy of Sciences.The species of penguin is accustomed to warm climates，unlike many of its cousins.These birds at the academy are nicknamed “Jackass penguins” because they make sounds similar to donkeys’，quite frightened the first time you hear it there.Early this year Pierre was going bald(光秃) due to his old age，which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool.Therefore，biologists at the academy had a wetsuit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.
Unlike marine mammal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s，which have a layer of blubber(海兽脂) to keep them warm，penguins depend on their waterproof feathers.Without them，Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up shivering on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water. 21*cnjy*com
“He was cold；h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e would shake，” said Pam Schaller，a senior biologist.Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm.Then she got another idea：if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific，why not make one for Pierre www.21-cn-jy.com
Schaller des ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )igned the suit，which covered Pierre’s body and had small openings for his flippers(脚蹼)．【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
“I walked behind him ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and looked at where there were any gaps，and cut and refitted and cut and refitted until it looked like it was extremely suitable，” she said.【版权所有：21教育】
One concern was tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit，but in fact，they accepted his new look.He swam freely and got along with others well，although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.
Schaller couldn’t s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay for sure whether the wetsuit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers，but “certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been difficult for him to stay comfortable”．
1．Pierre felt too cold to swim in the pool because of ________.
A．not having a layer of blubber
B．having few feathers due to old age
C．having no wetsuit
D．other penguins rejecting him
2．The idea of making a wetsuit for Pierre came from ________.2-1-c-n-j-y
A．total invention
B．the use of wetsuits on humans
C．the use of heat lamps
D．waterproof feathers
3．What does the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )underlined word “shivering” in the second paragraph mean
A．Feeling scared. B．Staying relaxed.
C．Shaking with cold. D．Keeping warm.
4．What would be the best title for this passage
A．Wetsuit for an Old Penguin
B．Old Penguin Getting Bald
C．Unwilling to Swim
D．Strange Looks of Pierre

If cars had wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ngs，they could fly and that just might happen，beginning in 2015.The company Terrafugia，based in Woburn，Massachusetts，says it plans to deliver its car plane，the Transition，to customers by the end of 2015.21cnjy.com
“It’s the next wond ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erful vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh.“Anybody can buy a Ferrari，but as we say，Ferraris can’t fly.”
The car plane has w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute—and fold back up for driving.A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies，although it is both.The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations，and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.【版权所有：21教育】
The company is aiming ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports：You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go.When you land，you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.
The car plane is d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esigned to fly primarily under 10,000 feet.It has a maximum take off weight of 1,430 pounds，including fuel and passengers.Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界的) conditions.
The Transition’s pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ice tag：94,000.But there may be additional charges for options like a radio，a transponder or a GPS.Another，option is a full plane parachute.
“If you get into a v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ery awful situation，it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said.
So far，the compan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y has more than 70 orders with deposits.“We’re working very closely with them，but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.
1．We can learn from the first paragraph that________.
A．car planes will be popular in 2015
B．people might drive a car plane in 2015
C．both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D．Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
2．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true
A．The car plane needs a runway to take off and land.
B．To meet aircraft regulations，the company has been working with FAA.
C．The car plane may fly as high as normal planes.
D．People can park the car plane in the garage at their home.
3．The underlined w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ord “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to________.
A．the radio B．the transponder
C．the GPS D．the full plane parachute
4．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Cars with Wings May Be Just Around the Corner
B．Which to Choose：A Ferrari or a Car plane
C．A More Convenient and Cheaper Way to Fly
D．Cars with Wings Can Fly As Fast As Planes

A
Planetary chang ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es which will have an influence on many are drawing near because of the poor ecological state of the planet.Actually change has already begun through climate changes，but most humans haven’t noticed this yet.Climate changes have begun to influence the world already and will begin to worsen within the next few years.Around 2011 most people will begin to see that the results of climate changes will be far more serious than now understood.
As the planet is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )under big geological(地质的) stresses，which are continuously increasing，it will in the future no longer be able to support its population.Scarcity of resources，over farming，lack of clean air，not enough clean drinking water and drought are some of the issues that will all play a much greater role in the near future.
Humans have ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )used large ecological devastation (破坏)．The lifestyles of many people are improving at a fast speed；however，this will finally result in a lack of some precious resources.When this scarcity begins to happen，people will no longer be able to have sustainable lifestyles.
It’s important to unde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rstand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life.Each person’s decision can finally affect the future.These decisions，all combined，can have a very good effect on what the future will be like for humans.So the future depends on the choices we make at the present moment.
While more and more p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eople are becoming aware of climate changes and other environmental problems related to global warming，not all are fully understanding how far reaching its effects will be.Unfortunately，most of the humans are aware that the planet isn’t functioning well，but they don’t understand that this is creating a major problem for the future survival of humans.
So，every person should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) make the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future.
1．It can be known from the first paragraph that________.
A．planetary changes are caused by global warming
B．climate changes will affect the life of humans in the future21*cnjy*com
C．the ecological state of the earth has been destroyed
D．most people don’t realize the dangers of climate changes
2．What opinion does the author most probably hold
A．Humans shouldn’t try to improve their lifestyles.
B．The future we’ll have depends on every one of us.
C．The ecological devastation is coming to a stop soon.
D．The future of humans can be determined ahead of time.
3．In the last paragraph the author is trying to__________.
A．encourage people to make efforts to protect the environment 21*cnjy*com
B．call on people to work hard to make their future better
C．warn people of the dangers of ecological devastation
D．tell people the right way to protect the environment
4．The author’s attitude in this text is________.
A．indifferent B．negative
C．serious D．humorous
B
If you like the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) idea of staying with a family，joint rent might be the answer.Good landladies—those who are superb cooks and launderers，are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guests and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity.The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes.If you are lucky，the food will be adequate，some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and companionship.For the less fortune，house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to visit，and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row provoking if tidy and untidy guests are living under the same roof.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
The same disadvantages ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) can apply to flat sharing，with the added difficulties that arise from deciding who pays for what，and in what proportion.One person may spend hours on the phone，while another rarely makes calls.If you want privacy with guest，how do you persuade the others to go out；how do you persuade them to leave you in peace，especially if you are student and want to study
Conversely，fl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at sharing can be very cheap，there will always be someone to talk to and go out with，and the chores，in theory，can be shared.
5．What is the additional disadvantage of flat sharing
A．Problems of sharing and paying.
B．Differences in living habits.
C．Shared cooking and bathroom facilities.
D．Restriction to invite friends to visit.
6．Which of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of flat sharing
A．Rent is affordable.
B．There is companionship.
C．Housework.
D．There is peace and quiet.
