Energy independe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nce.It has a nice ring to it.Doesn’t it If you think so，you’re not alone，because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades，and never more so than in the past few years，when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.
“Energy independe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nce” and its rhetorical(修辞的) companion “energy security” are，however，slippery concepts that are rarely through，though.What is it that we want independence from，exactly
Most people would p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )robably say that they want to be independent from imported oil.But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere.
The first reason i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s that we need it to keep our economy running.Yes，there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available，and more may become available，but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.
Second，American ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil.They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad.Vast areas of the United States are off limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection.To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports
Third，there ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e benefits to trade.It allows for economic efficiency，and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do，we benefit.And although you don’t read about this much，the United States is also a large exporter of oil products，selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.
There is no question ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that the United States imports a great deal of energy and，in fact，relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy.When that flow is interrupted，we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices，at the same time，we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.
1．What does the author think of biofuels
A．They keep America’s economy running healthily.
B．They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.
C．They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.
D．They cause serious damage to the environment.
2．Why does America rely heavily on oil imports
A．It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.
B．Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.
C．It wants to keep its own environment intact.
D．Its own oil production falls short of demand.
3．What does the author say about oil trade
A．It proves profitable to both sides.
B．It improves economic efficiency.
C．It makes for economic prosperity.
D．It saves the cost of oil exploration.
B
What does it take to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be a good neighbour？Over the years I have had all kinds of neighbours，ones that were enjoyable and others that were to be avoided at all costs.
One of the most impo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rtant things in being a good neighbour is to respect the personal privacy(隐私)．When someone new moves into the neighbourhood，you’d better wait and see when and how to go to pay a visit.If you go rushing over as soon as they move in，they may think you are going to be one of those neighbours that come over at all times of the day，not respecting their privacy.
It is a good i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dea always to be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood.This can not only make you get along well with them，but will also be a form of protection for your family and home.If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard，it shows that you like them and try to be friendly.If you are cordial(热诚的) to them，they are much more likely to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.
Another way ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in times of need.If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of difficulty，it is good to offer your help.Even though you haven’t talked a lot to the people down the street，they are willing to take the time to help you because you have ever helped them when they were in need.
In conclusio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n，if you respect their personal privacy，treat them cordially and be helpful when you see they are in need，you will be a great neighbour and anyone would be happy to have you next door!
4．What should we do when a new neighbour moves in
A．Go to offer some advice.
B．Go to say hello immediately.
C．Wave politely through the window.
D．Wait and see when and how to pay a visit.
5．If we are always friendly to neighbours，we can ________.
A．have our own privacy
B．know more about their life
C．make close friends with them
D．keep our family members safe
6．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B．Everybody sometimes gets into trouble.
C．The neighbours should help each other.
D．People needn’t talk a lot to their neighbours.
7．As a good neighbour，a person should always be ________.
A．brave，honest and kind
B．helpful，strong and strict
C．honest，active and friendly
D．respectful，friendly and helpful

A
Three years ago wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en I was just a freshman in high school，the busy spring season was approaching quickly.I was already preparing to play the saxophone(萨克斯) in my school’s pit orchestra for the musical that year，for state solo and ensemble(合奏)，and softball tryouts(选拔赛) were just around the corner.
It was only the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )econd day of tryouts—a Tuesday.Adults were hitting pop ups in the outfield as a drill(训练)．The drill was poorly set up，however，as two lines were formed in both the right and left outfields as the adults hit fly balls from the line towards center field.When it was my turn，I stepped up and the ball was hit.I turned and started to run back，but soon realized the ball was hit way too hard for me to catch.I turned around to run and get it...Then I recall waking up on the ground.As it turns out，when I turned to retrieve(取回) the ball，I ran into another player，my front teeth piercing her forehead.As one could imagine，I was horrified! My right front tooth was very loose and about to fall out.With the musical only four days away and state solo and ensemble a week away.It was vexatious!
After going to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dentist and getting my tooth fixed，I went home and to bed after taking the prescribed painkillers.That Friday，Saturday，and Sunday，I performed in the musical.I also went to state solo and ensemble the week after and received a one (the best score one can receive)，regardless of the pain and discomfort I endured.I was determined to do what I love—play music...and I did.

Travel is fu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n and exciting，but it’s not if you get sick.You may think，“Not me，I won’t get sick in my holiday.” But，for many people，that is what happens.
Of course you d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on’t want to spend your holiday sick in bed.So what can you do to stay in good health？There are three things you should remember when you travel：relax，sleep，and eat well.
A holiday must ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be a time for relaxing.But very often it is not.Think about what you do when you are a traveller.There are many places to visit：museums，shops，parks，churches.You may spend most days walking around these places.This can be very tiring.You may have a terrible headache after a few hours.If this is the way you feel，you should take a rest.Don’t ask your body to do too much.A tired body means a weak body.And a weak body gets sick easily.So sit down for a few hours in a nice place.In good weather，look for a quiet park bench(石凳)．Or you can stop at a cafe.You can learn a lot by watching people while you rest.
Sleep is also imp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ortant.If you want to stay healthy，you need to get enough sleep.You may have trouble sleeping at night when you travel.There may be too many noises in your hotel or the bed may be uncomfortable.If this is true，don’t be afraid to change rooms or hotels.Or you may get enough sleep for another reason.You may want to stay out late at night.In many cities，the nightlife can be very exciting.Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day.The extra hour can make a big difference.
Finally，if you want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to stay healthy，you must eat the right kinds of foods but you need to be careful about how much you eat.Lots of food is not good for you.
So，remember this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，if you want to enjoy your holiday，take care of yourself.Give your body some rest.Get enough sleep and eat good，healthy food.
7．This passage is about ________.
A．how to stay healthy when you travel

(2015·河北高三教学质检)
The human body is desi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gned to move.But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around.As we know，we sit while we’re eating，we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV.And many of us sit for many hours at work.
New research ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years.Peter Katzmarzyk，a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States，says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives，meaning it is something we do all the time，everywhere.
However，Mr.Katzmarzyk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours.He also says you may exercise often，“We can’t throw away physical activity.It’s extremely important.We have 60 years of research showing us that.”
Mr.Katzmarzyk and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life.“Studies that have assessed the relationship between sitting and mortality(死亡率) or television viewing and mortality are very rare.There’s only been a few of them，actually five or six now，in the last four or five years.” They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one point four years to life.
Luckily，change is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lready coming to some offices，especially in the design of desks.A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work.Another new design is called the “treadmill desk”．A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place.Even some U．S.schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving.That’s one of the strategies that many companies are using now.
Mr.Katzmarzyk also say ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.
1．The underlined wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rd “ubiquitous” is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．dangerous B．awkward
C．comfortable D．common
2．Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr.Katzmarzyk
A．Sitting too long may help increase one’s life.
B．Exercise is important and don’t sit too long.
C．Watching TV is bad，but can broaden one’s horizons.
D．Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.
3．What does Mr.Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 4
A．It’s a relatively new area of study.
B．It’s a hot subject studied by experts.
C．It’s a study that begins too late.
D．It’s not ignored by many experts.
4．Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more
A．To give them more comfort.
B．To improve their work efficiency.
C．To offer them the chance to exercise.
D．To seek pleasure while working.

Where Has the T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ime Gone？is the hottest song that has moved thousands of Chinese.Chinese parents give their children endless love and ask nothing in return.However，sometimes，daughters and sons are too busy growing up and forget that their parents are getting older and older.What should we do？Let’s have a look at a letter of a father’s.
Dear son，
One day if you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) see me old and I am not myself，have patience and try to understand me.If I get dirty when eating...，if I cannot dress...，have patience.Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.
If，when I speak to yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u，I say the same things one thousand and one times，do not stop me and listen to me.When you were small，I had to read to you one thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep.
When I do not want t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o have a shower，neither shame(羞辱) me nor scold(责备) me.Remember when I had to chase you with a thousand excuses I invented，in order that you wanted to bath.
When you see me ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) meet something new，give me the necessary time and don’t laugh at me.I taught you how to do so many things...to eat well，to dress well...to face life.If I do not want to eat，do not force me.I know well when I need to and when not.When my legs do not allow me to walk，give me your hand the same way I did when you gave your first steps.
When sometimes I lose ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the memory during our conversation，let me have the necessary time to remember.And if I cannot do it，do not become nervous because the most important thing is not my conversation but to be with you and to have you listen to me.
Yours，
Father
5．What do the Chinese parents often do
A．They often get dirty when eating.
B．They often read stories to their children at night.
C．They give their children endless love and ask nothing in return.

3．Display your bling(战绩)．
Having visual reminder ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of your running accomplishments can help keep you motivated to get out there again (and collect more bling)．Get one of those cool medal hanging racks to keep your race medals organized and add some visual interest to one of your walls.

Can you imagine ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a world without chocolate It’s not something I’d like to do.So I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!
The University of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Reading，in England，has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties.They must be quarantined(隔离检疫)before they can be grown.Why Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30%of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases.Now we don’t want that，do we
Demand for ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.
The University ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985，after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew，London.And it has improved its facilities.The leader of the institution’s cocoa project，Professor Paul Hadley，says，“One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean，healthy，interesting cocoa material.”
The cocoa centre has a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions.After up to two years in quarantine，clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries，including several in West Africa.That’s where 75%of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from.The crop is extremely important for the local economy：it employs about two million people.
Professor Hadley s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ays he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection.And more of us seem to count on them now.
The scientis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t says，“There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly，particularly in countries like China，where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”

On Punctuality
A punctual m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an is in the habit of doing everything at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，on the other hand，never does what he has to do at the proper time. 5 There is a proverb that says，“Time flies never to be recalled.” This is very true. 6 Time is more valuable than material things.In fact，time is life itself，and the unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his own valuable assets as well as others’．The unpunctual man is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters，or to return calls，or to keep appointments promptly. 7 He knows that he can’t get through his immense amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every appointment promptly and deal with every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
8 If a person i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s invited to a dinner and arrives later than expected，he keeps all the other guests and the host waiting him alone.This is great disrespect.

A．Failure to be punctual is a sign of disrespect towards others.
B．A lost thing may ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be found again，but lost time can never be regained.
C．He is always in a hu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rry and in the end loses both his time and his good name.
D．Unpunctuality is very harmful when it comes to doing one’s duty.
E．Of these the former are the majority.
F．But the man w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ho really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it.

(2015·河北石家庄二中一模)
Two of the hardest t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hings to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and，having gained it，to learn how to use it properly.Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well known golf club after finishing a round.It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes.But a half dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them.These same men can be found there day after day，and，strangely enough，each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth，successful in business and respected in the community.If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness，then each one should have been happy.Yet，it seemed to me，something very important was missing，or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda.They knew，each one of them，that their productivity had ceased(停止)．When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit，it is dying.And it is even so with man.
What is the answer to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a long and happy existence in this world of ours？I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible.The words were few，but they became memorably impressed in my mind；“In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”
To me，that has been a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) challenge from my earliest recollections(memories)．In fact，the battle of life，of existence，is a challenge to everyone.The immortal words of St.Paul，too，have been and always will be a great inspiration to me.At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight，I have finished the course，I have kept the faith.
1．Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph
A．Wealth results from honest effort.
B．The men sea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ted at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.
C．For some people，n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda.
D．The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.
2．The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means “ ”．
A．Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
B．No pain，no gain
C．Failure is the mother of success
D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face
3．We learn from the passage that the author .
A．was a wealthy person in the community
B．held a positive attitude towards an active life
C．was fond of associating with celebrities(名人)
D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
4．What is implied in the passage by the writer
A．To use wealth properly，eat，drink and be merry.
B．Where there is a will，there is a way.
C．As life is but like a dream，a man is like a fruit tree.
D．If you cease to struggle，you cease to live.

I was never very ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )neat，while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.Each of her objects had its place，but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled(贴标签) everything.I always looked for everything.Over time，Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my dirty clothing over，and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one even ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing.Kate came into the room.Soon，I heard her screaming，“Take your shoes away！Why under my bed！”Deafened，I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling.She yelled back louder.
The room was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )filled with anger.We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call.Kate answered it.From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill.When she hung up，she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers，sobbing.Obviously，that was something she should not go through alone.All of a sudden，a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly，I col ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and swept the floor，even on her side.I got into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up.She was watching，her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief.Then，she reached out her hands to grasp mine.I looked up into her eyes.She smiled at me，“Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oommates for the rest of the year.We didn’t always agree，but we learned the key to living together：giving in，cleaning up and holding on.
5．What made Kate so angry one evening

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Dear Betty，
My roommate’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home.I accepted the invitation，and I’m excited about going，but I’m a little nervous about it，too.The social customs in my country are different from those here，so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.
Should I bring ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a gift，such as candy or flowers？Should I arrive on time or a little late？At the dinner table，how can I know which fork or knife to use？How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness
Yours，
Knowing Nothing
Dear Knowing Nothing，
It’s a good idea t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o bring a gift when you go to a dinner party.Flowers are always welcome，or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.
You should arrive ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on time or five to ten minutes late.Don’t get there early.If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late，you should call and tell them.
Try to relax at the d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inner table.If you don’t know how to use the right fork，knife or spoon，just watch the other guests，and follow them.If you still have no idea of what to do，don’t be shy about asking the person next to you；it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.
If you like the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ood，say so.Of course，you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness.It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.
Yours，
Betty
