In one way or another, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )all our water comes from the sea. The sun heats the sea,and water evaporates to become vapour.The vapour rises and condenses to form clouds.These release their water as rain,often when they are blown over high ground.Rain goes deep into the ground,runs into streams and rivers,and flows back into the sea.Also,plants take water from the soil and put some back into the air as vapour.In this way,water is always being recycled.This is called water cycle.
Human beings also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )take part in water cycle.We build reservoirs to trap water for our houses and factories.Our waste water and sewage(污水)is put back into the sea though it is sometimes purified first.
Some water ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) takes many thousands of years to complete the cycle.It collects in huge areas of underground.This kind of water is often used by people as a source of tap-water. People around the world use tap-water in their daily life.There are many problems with the use of the tap-water.A lot of reservoirs have been built and they have brought many changes to the landscape and affected wildlife.People do not know the fact that taking too much water from underground can change the conditions on the surface.For example,it can dry out the habitats of some wildlife.If sewage or chemical waste are not made clean carefully,they can make drinking water dirty.
It is import ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ant that we should use water in a responsible way.A good water cycle is human’s luck.
28. Water evaporates to become vapor due to .
A. the sun’s heat B. its warmth
C. the wind from the sea D. the sea waves
29. The use of tap-wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ter brings the following problems EXCEPT .
A. changing landscape B. affecting habitats of wildlife
C. changing the ground conditions D. developing new crops
30. A lot of reservoirs have been built because
A. some people want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to use tap—water.B. water can be used to produce electricity.
C. cities have a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )huge demand for water.D. people want to prevent floods.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Water and People. B. The Use of Water.
C. Water Cycle. D. Water Pollution.
D
The management i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees because serving a company for life is rare now .This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce is partly a result of the way that layers of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development.
"Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule," says the Educational and Training Support Agency." Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes." says the Government- founded agency."It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills. Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes." This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills.In the United States, some companies have contracts(合同)which repuire their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date.
Contrary to thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s traditions of the past, employers in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system. At the same time, businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase."This of course," says business theory, "will also improve the productivity(生产率)of the workers and therefore the profits of the company."
32. The western w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orkforce frequently changes their jobs partly because .
A. hopping from job to job has become a new trend
B. employees are expecting to have more experiences in their life
C. workers have to take more responsibility for themselves
D. it is easy to complete themselves by doing so
33.The passage sug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gests that the present situation in society requires workers should .
A. show more loyalty to their companies
B. try to develop t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )heir skills to fit in with changes
C. go to college to have their skills up to date
D. be quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility
34.The phras ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e "autonomous learner" in the last paragraph means
A. people who have received higher education
B. people who study hard themselves
C. people who learn things very quickly
D. people who continue their study beyond regular education
panies req ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uire their employee's development mainly because
A. it will finally help to bring more profits to the company
B. it can at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tract more workers who pay special attention to self-development
C. it is good for the employees to develop their skills
D. it will make workers more responsible and loyal to the company

Guide for Teenagers
The teenage years ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) can be tough, and it’s normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don’t go away or become so intense that you can’t handle them, you may be suffering from depression. 36 . Try not to isolate yourself
When you’re depr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )essed, you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult, but isolating yourself only makes depression worse. 37 Spend time with friends, especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy
Making healthy li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )festyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a "runners high" Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression, so get involved in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class. Any activity helps! 38 As for food, make sure you’re feeding your mind with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Avoid alcohol and drugs.
You maybe try ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a "mood boost," even if just for a short time. However, substance use can not only make depression worse, but can cause you to become more depressed. 39 . You will need special treatment for your substance problem.
40 .Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition, if you have a health concern you feel you can’t talk to your parents about, see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you’re dealing with relationship, friendship, or family problems, talk to an adult you trust.
A. Ask for help if you are stressed.
B. Even a short walk can be beneficial.
C. Turn to your parents for help.
D. As you get out into ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the world, you may find yourself feeling better.
E. In short, drink ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing and taking drugs will make you feel worse--not better--in the long run.
F. The more exercise you do, the healthier you will be.
G. Help is available and you have more power than you think.

Dear Mr. Johnson,
I’d like to know i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f I could ask for a casual leave of absence from your Oral English class this Wednesday morning.
Yesterday I got a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) phone call from my uncle, who needs an interpreter for one day because his business partner from Britain has come. He knows that my oral English is so good that he wants me to have a try. I regard this as a golden opportunity to put what I have learned in your class into practice, but I need your permission of absence first.
If you allow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) me to go and help him, I am confident that I’ll do a good job and both of us will be grateful.
Yours,
Li Hua

M: OK, everyone. Tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t’s it for this year. I hope you’ve enjoyed the course and feel that you’ve learned a lot. Here’s a brochure with some tips on how to do in an exam. Before we look at that, can I also mention a few general points about preparing for an exam First of all, when you’re revising, don’t do lots and lots of practice tests. Of course, it’s good to do some practice tests but, after a certain point, you don’t learn anything new. Secondly, don’t go to a party the night before. You need to be fresh so that you can think quickly in the exam. Thirdly, don’t be late for the exam. But last year one student was two minutes late and he wasn’t allowed into the exam room. OK, now, once you’re in the exam…
