第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
If you really want to go green,here’s good news:eating green is good for you.The very foods with a high carbon cost—meat,pork,dairy products,processed snacks—also tend to be filled with fat and calories.A green diet would be mostly vegetables and fruits,whole grains (全谷物),fish and lean meats (瘦肉) like chicken—a diet that is good for the environment and your figure.Eating green can be healthier and beneficial to the climate.
It may be hard to believe that a meal at a fast food restaurant produces more carbon than your trip to a faraway place.More than 37% of the world’s land is used for agriculture,much of which was once forested.Deforestation (砍伐森林) is a major source of carbon.The fertiliser (化肥) and machinery needed on a modern farm also have a large carbon footprint,as does the network of ships and trucks that brings the food from the farm to your plate.
The most efficient way to reduce the carbon footprint of your menu is to eat less meat,especially beef.Raising cattle takes a lot more energy than growing the equivalent (相等的) amount of grains,fruits or vegetables.What’s more,the majority of cattle in the US are fed on grain and loads of it—670 million tons in 2002—and the fertiliser used to feed that creates separate environmental problems.
Focus on eating lower on the food chain,with more plants and fruits and less meat and dairy.It’s simple.We can change today what goes into our bodies for the health of our planet and ourselves.
21.According to the passage,eating green will .
A.protect the animals from being killed
B.promote the development of agriculture
C.help us lose weight and gain confidence
D.be good for our health and make a change for the climate
22.What will not lead to carbon in the agriculture
A.Grains. B.Fertiliser.
C.Machinery. D.Deforestation.
23.What is the passage mainly about
A.The change of our menu.
B.How to reduce the carbon.
C.The benefits of eating green.
D.The ways of keeping healthy.
B
Since the first Earth Day in 1970,Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment.“We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many,many times,” says Gaylord Nelson,the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to the US government reports,emissions (排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programmes;today in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programmes for the environment.Today,it’s hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does not have such a kind of programme.“Until we do that,nothing else will change!” says Bruce Anderson.
24.According to Anderson,before 1970,Americans had little idea about .
A.the social movement
B.recycling techniques
C.environmental problems
D.the importance of Earth Day
25.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from
A.The grass roots level.
B.The business circle.
C.Government officials.
D.University professors.
26.What have Americans achieved in environmental protection
A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B.They have settled their environmental problems.
C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
27.What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph
A.Education. B.Planning.
C.Green living. D.CO reduction.
C
After years of research and testing,the hybrid car was developed and put on the market.It’s an interesting and exciting new improvement in today’s world as we look for better ways to protect the quality of the air we breathe and conserve our natural resources.
The quality of our air is affected by many different things.But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline which is used to power a car’s engine.The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants released into the air,and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution.
A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gasoline and an electric car that is battery powered.Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partially electric,you have to plug it in to charge it.But that’s not how it works.The 144-volt battery pack is actually recharged through the energy that is produced when the car’s brakes are used.This is referred to as “regenerative braking”,because it generates electricity.
Although the hybrid car still runs on gasoline most of the time,this helps it use less gas than a regular car.When the driver stops at a traffic light,the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel.Then,as soon as the driver puts the car in gear and touches the gas pedal,the engine starts back up.
Have you ever ridden in a car that ran out of gas That probably wouldn’t happen if you were riding in a hybrid car.It flashes a warning on its computer screen that says,“I am low on gas.” When it completely runs out,the warning reads,“YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!” Then the electric power supply kicks in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station.
28.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.The hybrid car will be put on the market.
B.Hybrid cars run faster than regular cars.
C.When the hybrid car stops at a traffic light,the driver will get a warning.
D.The burning of fossil fuels is one of the largest sources of air pollution.
29.According to the passage,the underlined word “hybrid” refers to “ ”.
A.a high-tech discovery
B.energy saving
C.a new invention
D.a combination of two things
30.“Regenerative braking” is an important process of the hybrid car because .
A.it allows the car to come to a quick stop
B.it gives the driver a smoother ride
C.it produces energy to charge the battery
D.it can control the speed of the car
31.Which of the following is TRUE about the EPA
A.They designed hybrid cars.
B.They outlawed(宣布……不合法) the burning of fossil fuels.
C.They set important guidelines that help control pollution.
D.Their main purpose is to protect endangered plants and animals.
D
During the annual political meetings,environmental protection was definitely among the biggest concerns.Actually,it was also an issue that ancient Chinese paid great attention to.In fact,the world’s earliest environmental protection concept,ministry and laws were all born in China.So,what did the ancient Chinese do to protect the environment
In early ancient China,environmental protection was promoted to the political level.Xunzi,a famous thinker in Warring States Period,brought up the concept of “managing state affairs through environmental protection”.He stated in his book that vegetations (植被) should not be damaged at will.Guan Zhong,an official 400 years ahead of Xunzi,was also an environmental protection expert.During his term of office,he claimed that “a king who cannot protect his vegetations is not qualified to be a king”.
According to a record in the Qing Dynasty,the environmental protection ministry in early ancient China was called “Yu”,standing both for the institution and the official title.Although most functions were similar to such ministries today,the administration range of it was much larger,including the mountains,forests,rivers,lakes and so on.
The nine ministries established by Shun,an ancient Chinese king,already included “Yu”,the environmental protection ministry.The first “Yu” official was a man called Boyi,who was indeed an environmental protection expert.He was a capable assistant to Dayu,an ancient Chinese water-control expert.He invented wells,protecting people’s drinking water from pollution.He knew a lot about animals and also called for animal protection.
Environmental protection laws dated back to the ruling period of Dayu,which was more than 4,000 years ago.During his rule,he issued a ban,forbidding people to cut down wood in March or catch fish in June,the time when they were supposed to boom.
In Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period almost 3,000 years ago,“environmental protection laws” appeared in its true sense in Qin,which was recorded in Law of Fields and regarded as China’s earliest “environmental protection laws”.
32.Which statement would Xunzi probably agree with
A.Vegetations shouldn’t be damaged at all.
B.Much attention should be paid to people’s drinking water.
C.The king who failed to protect the environment should be removed.
D.Ruling a country and environmental protection should be combined.
33.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“it”inparagraph3referto
A.TheQingDynasty.
B.TheministryofYu.
C.Theofficialtitle.
D.Themodernministry.
34.Whycouldn’tfishbecaughtinJuneduringDayu’srule
A.Fishdidn’ttastedeliciousinJune.
B.ItwastoohottocatchfishinJune.
C.FishhadaperiodofrapidgrowthinJune.
D.Fish-catchingtimehadalreadypassedinJune.

When Susan told her 12 years old son Andy their family were visiting New Delhi,a dreamlike place for teenagers,his little face was shining with indescribably wild joy.He had long expected to explore the imaginative kingdom,especially the Stone Forest,three kilometres east of the town,where lay various stones in different colours and sizes.
The two-day trip was very tight—first met their old friends,the Millers and then met Andy’s expectation.When they reached their house it was already 3 pm.Miller and his wife were happy to meet them after a long time.They sat in the drawing room and chatted about old times.Their son soon bored with adult conversation,went out to play with the host’s children—Eric and Daisy—both of whom were around Andy’s age.
But Andy’s appetite seemed never to be satisfied.As his name Andy conveyed,he was courageous and adventurous.Andy was impatient to inspect the route to the Stone Forest ahead so as to be a tour guide for his parents the next day!He forgot the grand dinner the Millers prepared the evening.
Dinner time Eric and Daisy came running back,both excited about the special dinner,but Andy wasn’t with them.Alarmed,Miller asked them about Andy,but between their panicked questions and excited voices they became nervous,unable to convey anything.From the little they were able to explain,they guessed that the children were riding their bikes in the neighbourhood lanes (小巷),while Andy ran after them.At some point,Andy must have fallen behind,unable to keep pace,taken a wrong turn and lost his way.
Panic-stricken,they all ran out in search of Andy.At the same time,Susan’s mind raced with all sorts of horrible situations—a part of the road was dug up for some construction work;what if Andy had fallen in How far had he wandered How alone and scared he must be in a strange town!
Actually,AndynowwasenjoyinghimselfintheStoneForest.

第一节
Dear Tom,
I’m delighted to learn that you are interested in our tree-planting activity.
The activity is held annually with different themes.This year’s theme is “Building a Green Home”.The activity was held on March 12,our National Tree-planting Day.Early in the morning,all the teachers and students gathered on the West Hill,where we spent the whole morning digging,planting and watering.Eventually about 200 trees were planted.Seeing the trees waving in the warm wind,we all felt excited and proud despite tiredness.
Undoubtedly,we benefit a lot from the activity,which not only brings us the pleasure of labour but also helps us to develop team spirit.Hopefully you can join us next year.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Actually,AndynowwasenjoyinghimselfintheStoneForest.He was overjoyed to come to the long-anticipated place!Everything in the kingdom was so magic that he could not take his eyes off.The stones here were really unique,one of which looked like a tiger,with two fierce eyes and sharp teeth.Andy stared curiously at it,lost in thought.He wondered how it came into being.Maybe...Suddenly,he realised it was late and he had to say goodbye to the Stone Forest.
Onthehalfwayback,Andyheardhismum’scalling.Then Andy quickened his steps,responding with greetings.The moment Susan caught sight of her son,she felt relieved with sparks in her eyes.Andy threw himself into Mum’s arms,saying in a thoughtful voice,“I’m sorry,Mum.I should have told you my plan earlier.” When Andy told his mother he was a brave boy,Susan realised Andy had grown up,a warm flow spreading inside.All the way,Andy shared what he discovered in the Stone Forest and volunteered to be the guide the next day!
