Nowadays air pollution is something that we hardly question any more. However, I still can’t walk down the streets in any of the big cities without 35 that people are suffering from the air pollution. It is time for the government department over the world to introduce emission(废气排除) controls on all cars and 36 the public transport system (公共交通体系) to encourage people to 37 their cars at home. A friend of mine takes flying lessons each morning and it really makes him 38 when climbs above the smog layer(烟雾层) and looks down 39 it and thinks : “I’m breathing that!”. This kind of 40 results from the bad management of resources. Waste things can, 41 should, be treated properly. House building, road construction and industrial development are all earthmoving( or earth reducing) operations and can change the balances of 42 created over millions of years. I would like to 43 serious studies done on all these main works before they are built. Also, there should be 54 national parks set up to keep the most beautiful parts of our countries in their natural 55 .

Ⅲ. 阅读（共两节）
第一节：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41—55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).
Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. "Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "
46. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.
A. twenty three hundred B. thirteen hundred
C. over three thousand D. less than two thousand
47. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _____ .
A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.
B. send students in America to travel in Germany
C. let students learn something about other countries
D. have teen-agers learn new languages
48. Fred and Mike agreed that _____ .
A. American food tasted better than German food
B. German schools were harder than American schools
C. Americans and Germans were both friendly
D. There were more cars on the streets in America
49. What is particular in American schools is that _____ .
A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
B. there are a lot of after-school activities
C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all
D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car
50. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .
A. a better education should include something good from both America and Germany
B. German schools trained students to be better citizens
C. American schools were not as good as German schools
D. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students
B
When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊)?On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages)of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits(or advantages)of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."
51. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____ .
A. they should be easy to make friends with
B. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months
C. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February
D. they must reach the age of 60
52. Doctors _____ .
A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively
B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming
C. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summer
D. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming
53. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _____ .
A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue
B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter
C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high
D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water
54. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _____ .
A. they can remain young B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter
C. they find it enjoyable and interesting D. they might meet fewer troubles in life
55. The passage is mainly about _____ .
a group of cold-water swimming lovers
B. the Polar Bears' life in New York
C. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming
D. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club
C
Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Florida's weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings' expert care, will produce a good crop of oranges this year.
But Ed has to fight against Florida's changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Ed's entire orange, crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing， Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer (层)of ice on the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.
What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is sucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method(方法)to save many orange crops.
But Ed still faces some difficulties. The trees should be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity of water must be used. Too much water can form a thick layer of ice that will break the trees' branches. Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat. So Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.
Computer technology may help Ed Rawlings with some of these worries. With equipment, air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer which can tell when temperatures drop to freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be watered. Ed Rawlings will find looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and we'll all have the benefits(or advantages)of computer-age oranges.
56. The passage is mainly about _____ .
a farmer's expert care for his orange trees
B. the different uses of computers
C. growing oranges in Florida's changeable weather
D. different ways of frost protection
57. Ed tried to protect his crop by _____ .
A. using a wind machine to drive away the cold air
B. equipping his orange trees with a computer
C. watering it at the proper time
D. picking his fruit at the first sign of frost
58. In the writer's eyes, computers _____ .
are too expensive for small farmers
B. can be a valuable tool for the farmer
C. can be used to help oranges grow bigger
D. cannot take the place of the farmer's experience and judgement
59. Which of the following is NOT NECESSARY for Ed Rawlings to do?
A. He should water the orange trees as soon as the temperature drops to the
freezing point.
B. He should decide the quantity of water for the orange trees.
C. He has to water the orange trees more often in January and February.
D. He has to judge how often he should water the orange trees.
60. According to the passage, the computer technology can _____ .
get rid of the need for frost protection
B. help the farmer get a better harvest
C. tell the farmer why outdoor temperature changes
D. prevent the temperature from dropping to the freezing point

A new study warns that about thirty percent of the word’s people not have enough water by the year 2025. A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. People live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
PAI researcher Robert Englishman says by the 2025, about three thousand million people lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have serious water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same.
The report says lack water in the future may result several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water not safe. Mr. English says there are problems all over the world because of disease such as cholera that is carried in water.
Lack of water also may result in more international conflict. Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan and Iraq. And the report says lack water would affect the ability to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.

Besides, my experience of working as a reporter for my school broadcasting station makes me easy to get along with and enjoy working together with others. So I am sure I can do the job well if I get the position. I am looking forward to your reply.
(2) A private organization from the USA shows their study that more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack water nowadays. By the year of 2025, about three thousand million people lack water. As the population of the world is increasing fast, the lack of water is getting more and more serous, which will lead to a lot of problems such as disease and international conflict.
I think it is high time that we paid great attention to this problem now because water is the source of life. Where there is water, there is life. Water can even change desert into green land. However it is very limited to human beings, especially it has kept being polluted so seriously that less and less of it can be fit to drink. If we lack water, we will face the most serious conflict, which may lead our world to great disaster. This is why we have to save water.

However, I still can’t walk down the streets in any of the big cities without 35 that people are suffering from the air pollution. It is time for the government department over the world to introduce emission(废气排除) controls on all cars and 36 the public transport system (公共交通体系) to encourage people to 37 their cars at home. A friend of mine takes flying lessons each morning and it really makes him 38 when climbs above the smog layer(烟雾层) and looks down 39 it and thinks : “I’m breathing that!”. This kind of 40 results from the bad management of resources. Waste things can, 41 should, be treated properly. House building, road construction and industrial development are all earthmoving( or earth reducing) operations and can change the balances of 42 created over millions of years. I would like to 43 serious studies done on all these main works before they are built. Also, there should be 54 national parks set up to keep the most beautiful parts of our countries in their natural 55 .

第一节：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41—55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).
Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. "Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "
46. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.
A. twenty three hundred B. thirteen hundred
C. over three thousand D. less than two thousand
47. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _____ .
A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.
B. send students in America to travel in Germany
C. let students learn something about other countries
D. have teen-agers learn new languages
48. Fred and Mike agreed that _____ .
A. American food tasted better than German food
B. German schools were harder than American schools
C. Americans and Germans were both friendly
D. There were more cars on the streets in America
49. What is particular in American schools is that _____ .
A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
B. there are a lot of after-school activities
C. students usually take fourteen subjects in all
D. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car
50. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .
A. a better education should include something good from both America and Germany
B. German schools trained students to be better citizens
C. American schools were not as good as German schools
D. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students
B
When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊)?On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages)of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits(or advantages)of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."
51. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____ .
A. they should be easy to make friends with
B. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months
C. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February
D. they must reach the age of 60
52. Doctors _____ .
A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively
B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming
C. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summer
D. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming
53. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _____ .
A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue
B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter
C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high
D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water
54. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _____ .
A. they can remain young B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter
C. they find it enjoyable and interesting D. they might meet fewer troubles in life
55. The passage is mainly about _____ .
a group of cold-water swimming lovers
B. the Polar Bears' life in New York
C. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming
D. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club

Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Florida's weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings' expert care, will produce a good crop of oranges this year.
But Ed has to fight against Florida's changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Ed's entire orange, crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing， Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer (层)of ice on the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.
What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is sucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method(方法)to save many orange crops.
But Ed still faces some difficulties. The trees should be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity of water must be used. Too much water can form a thick layer of ice that will break the trees' branches. Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat. So Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.
Computer technology may help Ed Rawlings with some of these worries. With equipment, air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer which can tell when temperatures drop to freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be watered. Ed Rawlings will find looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and we'll all have the benefits(or advantages)of computer-age oranges.
56. The passage is mainly about _____ .
a farmer's expert care for his orange trees
B. the different uses of computers
C. growing oranges in Florida's changeable weather
D. different ways of frost protection
57. Ed tried to protect his crop by _____ .
A. using a wind machine to drive away the cold air
B. equipping his orange trees with a computer
C. watering it at the proper time
D. picking his fruit at the first sign of frost
58. In the writer's eyes, computers _____ .
are too expensive for small farmers
B. can be a valuable tool for the farmer
C. can be used to help oranges grow bigger
D. cannot take the place of the farmer's experience and judgement
59. Which of the following is NOT NECESSARY for Ed Rawlings to do?
A. He should water the orange trees as soon as the temperature drops to the
freezing point.
B. He should decide the quantity of water for the orange trees.
C. He has to water the orange trees more often in January and February.
D. He has to judge how often he should water the orange trees.
60. According to the passage, the computer technology can _____ .
get rid of the need for frost protection
B. help the farmer get a better harvest
C. tell the farmer why outdoor temperature changes
D. prevent the temperature from dropping to the freezing point

A new study warns that about thirty percent of the word’s people not have enough water by the year 2025. A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. People live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
PAI researcher Robert Englishman says by the 2025, about three thousand million people lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have serious water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same.
The report says lack water in the future may result several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water not safe. Mr. English says there are problems all over the world because of disease such as cholera that is carried in water.
Lack of water also may result in more international conflict. Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan and Iraq. And the report says lack water would affect the ability to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.

（1） I think I am fit for the job which I am quite interested in. As a student, I have read a lot and have much knowledge in many fields like doing well in both spoken English and written English. Besides, my experience of working as a reporter for my school broadcasting station makes me easy to get along with and enjoy working together with others. So I am sure I can do the job well if I get the position. I am looking forward to your reply.
(2) A private organization from the USA shows their study that more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack water nowadays. By the year of 2025, about three thousand million people lack water. As the population of the world is increasing fast, the lack of water is getting more and more serous, which will lead to a lot of problems such as disease and international conflict.
I think it is high time that we paid great attention to this problem now because water is the source of life. Where there is water, there is life. Water can even change desert into green land. However it is very limited to human beings, especially it has kept being polluted so seriously that less and less of it can be fit to drink. If we lack water, we will face the most serious conflict, which may lead our world to great disaster. This is why we have to save water.
