Jack and Betty Williams are going through some difficult times. They were both laid off from their jobs last month. As the days go by, they're becoming more and more worried about their futures, since Jack hasn't been able to find another job yet, and neither has Betty.
The layoffs weren't a surprise to Jack and Betty. After all, Jack's company hadn't been doing very well for a long time, and neither had Betty's. However, Jack had never expected both of them to be laid off at the same time, and Betty hadn't either. Ever since they have been laid off, Jack and Betty have been trying to find new jobs. Unfortunately, she hasn't been very successful, and he hasn't either.
The main reason they're having trouble finding work is that there simply aren't many jobs available(有用的) right now. He can't find anything in the wanted ads, and neither can she. She hasn't heard about any jobs opening, and he hasn't either. His friends haven't been able to help at all, and neither have hers.
Another reason they're having trouble finding work is that they don't seem to have the right kind of skills and training. He doesn't know anything about computers, and she doesn't either. She can't type very well,and neither can he. He hasn't had any special vocational(职业的) training, and she hasn't either.
Despite all their problems, Jack and Betty aren't completely discouraged(失意). She doesn't have a very pessimistic(悲观的) outlook on life, and neither does he. They're both hopeful that things will get better soon.

These days haze(雾霾) is around us here and there. In fact, everyone has the power to change their living habits to help reduce it. Many local governments call on their people to take action to make the air cleaner.
Transport is one of the biggest contributors(促成物) to haze. When, where, how, why and what you drive all affect air quality. When one drives to work for one year, he uses as much energy as a bus rider uses in 10 years. So walk or ride your bicycle to work or school whenever possible. If it is necessary, you can use public transport instead of your car. Each person using public transport for a year instead of a car can save nearly a tonne of pollutants, including CO2 , from going into the atmosphere.
Carpooling is another way to reduce carbon emissions(排放). Carpooling is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. It immediately reduces your car's emissions by half.
What you do inside your living space can have a big effect on the air quality outside it. You can do a lot of things inside and around your home that will help you pollute less and save some money.
A large amount of our energy supply comes from burning coal, another contributor to haze. By cutting down your electricity use, you are cutting down on haze. So you may try to reduce your use of electricity by turning off lights, using your air conditioner wisely during the summer months, or updating some of your electrical appliances to low-energy models. For example, you can use energy-saving lamps that require less energy and last 10 times longer than common bulbs.
113. Which does the writer think should play an important role in reducing haze
A. City cleaners. B. Haze producers.
C. Local governments. D. Common people.
114. We can infer(推断) from the passage that the writer thinks .
A. cars can be used only when people have to
B. cars should be given up as soon as possible
C. cars must be improved to reduce air pollution
D. cars may cause the most serious pollution of all
115. We should reduce the use of electricity mainly because .
A. we can save a lot of money by using less energy
B. coal is now becoming rarer and rarer on our planet
C. harmful things come out while electricity is produced
D. electrical appliances send out something harmful to our air
116. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. What Are Causing Haze Around Us
B. What You Can Do to Reduce Haze
C. How Dangerous Haze Is to Our Life
D. How Important It Is to Reduce Haze
八、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）
It is well-known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.
There is an old English saying, "117. " Then what's time Time is something that we can't see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say "118. ", but time is even more precious(珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless(无价的).
We should always remember: Future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master(主人) of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And "119. "
As we all know, "120. " If you waste today, you will regret(后悔) tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember, "121. " Today's hard work is the cause of tomorrow's harvest(收获).
A. Never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
B. No pains, no gains.
C. Gain time, gain life.
D. Time and tide wait for no man.

When you wanted to buy something in the past, what would you do You would go out and buy them in a store or supermarket. But now in 21st century, there is a new way to do—It is to buy it online. How incredible(不可思议), isn't it
There are many good reasons to shop online. First of all, it is convenient(方便的).

Then you choose what you want and buy it with just a click of your mouse. Shopping online can help you save lots of time, money and energy.
