?????? Meet Stephanie Roman, Student Body President and senior at?Skyline?High School?in?Dallas,?TX.
?????? What drew you to public service and when did you first become?involved in politics?
?????? I have always dedicated time to serving others. I ran my first campaign at the age of 14. As a student at?Skyline?High School, I had the honor to serve as Class President in my freshman year and Student Body President in my junior and senior years. These leadership positions, along with my ambition, have opened many wonderful doors of opportunities.
?????? What does a day in the life of a Student Body President look like?
?????? Serving as Student Body President comes with many responsibilities. I’m responsible for carrying out daily school-wide announcements, attending school meetings, acting as a representative for the Dallas ISD Teen Board, and most importantly, planning and organizing activities for the school.
?????? Tell us a little bit about the projects you’ve lead in your school?
?????? I have organized and taken part in several service projects, including drives to register seniors to vote (投票), Trunk or Treat, where we provide candy and costumes for kids whose parents cannot afford such things, and canned food drives benefiting the North Texas Food Bank. Through these activities we teach students about the importance of civic engagement (公民参与) and we make it fun for students to be involved in bettering their communities.
?????? What are some of your political leadership highlights to date?
?????? As a student in the Advanced Social Sciences Magnet, I have had the opportunity to work closely with campaign organizers and government officials. Since my freshman year, I have taken part in block-walk campaigns to collect petition (请愿) signatures for judges. Recently I just finished a major project in which I created a brochure to educate the community around issues (问题) of homelessness and permanent (永久的) housing.

?????? Rock band Dionysus have surprised many including themselves with their sudden success.
?????? After winning the Rock Awards at the Normandy Hotel last year, the five-member rock band is competing in the Raceview Hotel “Battle?of the Bands” and is booked to perform at the launch of Disability Access Week at Jupiters Casino on 20 July.
?????? Not bad for a band that has only played together a few times.
?????? The band members are aged between 18 and 23 and consist of lead singer Tony Siciliano, drummer Michael Carmody, Joe Vanzutphen on lead guitar, Melissa Knight on base and Stephen Clarke who plays rhythm guitar.
?????? When Stephen broke his back two years ago in a car accident, the road to rock fame had to be put on the backburner (先搁置一边).
?????? “We started playing together about a year ago before Stephen’s accident. It stops things for a while,” says Joe.
?????? Stephen says recovery was a slow six-month process and changed the course of the band completely.
?????? “The accident has changed my attitude towards life. It has given me more motivation towards the band. I want to make it a bit more now. I know what I want and I want to get it.”
?????? Tony says the crowd reactions to Stephen playing rhythm guitar in his wheelchair are always amazing.
?????? “It’s not a big issue but people seem to remember and they say it’s amazing he gets up and does it and doesn’t just give up,” he says.
?????? “We don’t look at him as having a disability at all. He just sits down while he’s playing, and that’s all.”
?????? Stephen said the first time he went on stage as a paraplegic (截瘫患者), he felt out of place, but quickly got back into the rhythm.
?????? “We just make sure we don’t trip over him and that he doesn’t roll off the stage and we’re fine,” says Tony.
?????? Their music speaks for itself. They won the first rock gig (特约演奏) they ever entered and it was also only the third gig they had played together as a new band.

?????? Biorobotics is a field within robotic science that is based on the movements of living things. The most famous biorobots look and move a lot like humans. However, there are several robots that have been made to mimic (模仿) animals. While many companies develop such robots as toys, some are used for practical purposes.
?????? One example of a biorobot is a flying robot that is based on the movements of bees. The robot, named?“Carlton”, was developed by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. Built to be both light and powerful, it can hover (盘旋) like a bee in tight spaces and also change direction without losing speed. This robot’s abilities make it very useful for military and police search and rescue missions? (任务). For example,?Carlton?can hide behind a tall wall, rise up to quickly look at what is on the other side, and then hide again. It can also send video images of what it sees to soldiers in a safe location far away.
???????“Modsnake”?is a robot that was modeled on snakes. This robot was developed by the Carnegie Mellon University Biorobotics Lab. It is made to move like a snake, so it can pass through narrow spaces, move over all sorts of obstacles (障碍物), climb poles, and even swim. The way Modsnake moves makes it useful for a variety of tasks such as checking for survivors in fallen buildings, finding damaged areas inside of pipes and cleaning up oil spills in lakes and rivers.
?????? A third robot, based on cockroaches, also has several uses. “Sprawl” was designed by a research team at?Stanford?University?to take videos and recover small objects. Like many six-legged robots, Sprawl was made to move like an insect. However, Sprawl is uncommonly fast and strong for its size, just like a real cockroach. These characteristics make it particularly useful for military situations in which an enemy might try to disable it. It is very difficult to shoot because it moves quickly and is relatively small. Even if an enemy shoots Sprawl, it can usually keep functioning.
28.?What is the text mainly about?
A. Biorobots’ military uses.
B. Biorobots based on animals.
C. Biorobots’ flying abilities.
D. Biorobots that work like humans.
29.?What’s the characteristic of?Carlton?
A. Unbreakable.???????????????????
B. Changeable.
C. Weighty.?????????????????????????
D. Swift.
30.?What does the author suggest about Modsnake?
A. It has six legs.
B. It can be dangerous.
C. It is multi-functional.
D. It moves like an insect.
31.?Which of the following is true about Sprawl?
A. It is small but very tough.
B. It is smaller than a cockroach.
C. It was developed by a German research team.
D. It was originally built to destroy small objects.
D
For millions of years, animals have communicated in countless ways — from giving off chemical signals, to performing complex dances. Humans, on the other hand, have the ability to communicate using language. However, scientists don’t agree on when human language first appeared. Even if it’s unclear exactly when it began, human language has developed greatly in the past century, branching off into three different types: natural, artificial, and formal language.
?????? Natural languages, also known as man-made languages, are languages that humans have developed simply out of the need to communicate with each other. Natural languages are the languages people speak, read, write, and listen to every day, such as English, Hindi, and Russian. The vocabulary and rules of these languages have developed naturally, without the influence of an author or creator modeling or changing the languages. In short, natural languages “just happen”.
?????? Artificial languages are also man-made, but they are constructed, or made, by humans who already use a natural language to communicate. The vocabulary and grammar of artificial languages don’t develop naturally but are constructed by an author or creator. There’re a number of reasons for constructing an artificial language. In some cases, it may be a scientific experiment in language; in other cases, it may be the creation of an artist. An artificial language may also be constructed to make communication easier between people of different nationalities. Perhaps the best example of this is Esperanto, an artificial language created in 1887 by L.L. Zamenhof that was basically meant to simplify communication between Europeans.
?????? Finally, formal languages are languages that communicate something, but they are not spoken languages like natural and artificial languages. However, like artificial languages, they are constructed. Formal languages are meant to be very precise in what they communicate. An example of a common formal language is computer code. Computer code has its own set of very strict rules and serves only to “speak” to a computer — people cannot use it to communicate with others.
32.?What caused natural languages to develop?
A. The creation of special writers.
B. People’s hope to record things.
C. The influence of other languages.
D. People’s need to speak to each other.
33.?What do we know about artificial languages?
A. They didn’t appear until the 20th century.
B. They are not used in daily communication.
C. They have no vocabulary or grammar rules.
D. They are created for some specific purposes.
34.?Why does the author mention Esperanto?
A. To sing the praises of L.L. Zamenhof.
B. To give an example of an artificial language.
C. To suggest that it’s still used by many Europeans.
D. To explain how communication can be simplified.
35.?How are formal languages different from natural and artificial languages?
A. People do not speak them.
B. People cannot understand them.
C. They are constructed by a creator.
D. They are only used in computer science.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
?????? Conservation (保护) is the protection of things found in nature. It requires the sensible use of all Earth’s natural resources (资源). People who care about conservation try to protect natural resources so they will still be around in the future.
?????? Some resources are renewable. Living things, such as plants and animals, are examples of renewable resources because they can reproduce themselves.??36??For example, people might catch too many of one type of fish. If not enough fish are left to reproduce, that type of fish might die out. Conservation helps people keep renewable resources in good supply.
?????? Some resources are nonrenewable, which means they cannot be replaced. Fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum (oil), are examples of nonrenewable resources.??37??They can also look for other resources that serve the same purpose.
?????? Conservation can be hard because it can require people to give up some conveniences. For example, cars make travel easy, but they also produce a lot of air pollution.??38??Such changes can be hard when people have gotten used to a certain way of living.
????????39??For example, a timber (木材) company might be able to protect forest animals by limiting the number of trees it cuts. But the company might not be willing to do this because it will make less money.
????????40??People can recycle paper, glass, and other materials. Industries can limit the amount of pollution they create. Governments can make laws that help to keep the air and water clean.
A.??? They also try to keep the environment clean and healthy.
B.??? But renewable resources can still be damaged or destroyed.
C.??? Money is another reason why conservation can be a challenge.
D.??? Everyone can contribute to conservation in one way or another.
E.??? To have cleaner air, people can choose to drive less and walk more.
F.??? People can conserve nonrenewable resources by using them carefully.
G.??? Recycling saves resources by reusing materials that would be thrown away.

?????? Throughout my years in elementary and high school, I am able to recall (回想) countless experiences which stand out in my mind as meaningful.

However, in all of my memories, a single day in the fifth grade stands out as a(n)??42??day that truly changed my life.

This basic introduction was followed by a developmental period. With my teacher’s??55?, I began to learn beginning notes and note values. Together, we worked to??56??my skills.
?????? The lesson was concluded by putting together all of the information that I had worked to develop. The random (胡乱的)??57??that I made throughout the lesson became music as I??58??my first songs.

选做题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The American writer J.D. Salinger is known for his reclusive (隐居的) nature. He has not given an interview since 1974, or published any new work since 1965. Salinger’s entire published works consist of one novel and 13 short stories, all written in the period 1948?1959. In 1997, a rumour (传闻) started that Salinger was going to bring out the first book version of his last published story. Fans became very excited. However, because of the publicity, Salinger quickly?receded?from the arrangement.
Ironically (讽刺地) for a future writer, when he was at college one of his professors insisted he was the worst English student in the history of the college. Before writing his famous book, he had only published a few short stories in magazines.
?????? Salinger established his reputation with a single novel,?The Catcher in the Rye?(1951), an immediate bestseller which still sells 250,000 copies per year. The main character, Holden Caulfield, is a sensitive, rebellious (叛逆的) teenager experiencing the growing pains of high school and college students.
?????? Salinger did not do much to help publicise his masterpiece and asked that his photograph should not be used in connection with it. The public attention which followed the success of the book led him to move from?New York?to the faraway hills of Cornish,?New Hampshire. Since the late 1960s he has tried to escape publicity. In 1974 he told a reporter that he liked to write but that he wrote for himself and his own pleasure.
?????? Later, he tried to stop the publication of a biography which included letters he had written to other authors and friends. In 2000 his daughter published a biography. In it she stated her father was not a recluse. She said he travelled often and had friends all over the world. She added that he enjoyed being with people and was friendly except where publicity and celebrity are concerned.
?????? Salinger refused to sell the movie rights to any of his stories to?Hollywood?and would not allow any of his works to be involved with film.
1. What does the underlined word “receded” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Suffered.?????????????????
B. Benefited. ???????
C. Recovered.???????
D. Withdrew.
2. What can be inferred about J.D. Salinger when he was in college?
A. He was locally well-known.
B. He didn’t do well in his studies.
C. He was deeply interested in world history.
D. He was greatly influenced by his professors.
3. What do we learn about?The Catcher in the Rye?
A. It focuses on a teenager’s psychological growth.
B. It received a great deal of criticism.
C. It brought Salinger much trouble.
D. It still tops the best-seller list.
4. Why did J.D. Salinger move to?New Hampshire?
A. To work on a report.
B. To avoid public attention.
C. To advertise his new book.
D. To return to his birthplace.
5. What did J.D. Salinger’s daughter say about him?

B. He was sociable and easygoing.
C. He had a close relationship with his fans.
D. He hoped to see his work adapted into movies.
B
?????? On 24 and 25 November, the busiest days in the American sale calendar and the unofficial start of the international Christmas shopping season, thousands of activists and concerned citizens in 65 countries will take a 24-hour consumer detox (消费者排毒) as part of the 14th yearly Buy Nothing Day, a global event that started in Vancouver, Canada.
?????? From joining zombie marches through shopping centers to organizing credit card “cut-ups” and shopaholic clinics, Buy Nothing Day activists aim to challenge themselves, their families and their friends to switch off from shopping and tune back into life for one day. Featured in recent years by the likes of CNN, Wired, the BBC, and the CBC, the global event is celebrated as a relaxed family holiday, as a non-commercial (非商业性的) street party, or even as a politically charged public protest. Anyone can take part provided they spend a day without spending.
?????? Reasons for participating in Buy Nothing Day are as varied as the people who choose to participate. Some see it as an escape from the marketing mind games and crazy consumer binge (狂欢) that has come to characterise the holiday season, and our culture in general. Others use it to show the environmental consequences of over-consumption.
?????? Two recent disaster warnings outline the sudden urgency of our dilemma (进退两难的窘境). First of all, in October, a global warming report by economist Sir Nicholas Stern predicted that climate change will lead to the most massive and most wide-ranging market failure the world has ever seen. Soon afterwards, a major study published in the journal Science forecasted the near-total collapse (崩溃) of global fisheries within 40 years.
?????? Kalle Lasn, co-founder of the Adbusters Media Foundation, which was responsible for turning Buy Nothing Day into an international yearly event, said, “Our headlong fall into ecological collapse requires a complete change in the way we see things. Driving hybrid cars and limiting industrial emissions (排放物) is great, but they are band-aid solutions if we don’t address the central problem: we have to consume less. This is the message of Buy Nothing Day.”
?????? As Lasn suggests, Buy Nothing Day isn’t just about changing your habits for one day. It’s about starting a lasting lifestyle commitment to consuming less and producing less waste.
6. What do we know about Buy Nothing Day?
A. It was founded in?America.
B. It discourages consuming.
C. It rewards non-shopping families.
D. It aims to clear shoppers from the streets.
7. What is the holiday season like?
A. Shoppers spend money like water.
B. The shopping centers are in a mess.
C. People waste time on street parties.
D. People often stage a protest march.
8. What is the focus of Paragraph 4?
A. The effects of Buy Nothing Day.
B. Recent studies on global market.
C. The possible dangers people may face.
D. Reasons for organizing Buy Nothing Day.
9. What does Lasn say about the underlying message of Buy Nothing Day?
A. Reduce carbon emissions.
B. Shop less for one single day.
C. Be more active in production.
D. Lead an eco-friendly lifestyle.

Dear Emma,
I’ve learned from the website of our school that you are looking for someone to teach you Chinese, and I’d like to help you.
First, I’ve grasped standard Chinese pronunciation, and I can speak Chinese clearly and fluently. Besides, I have a good knowledge of Chinese traditional culture, which is very important for you to know more about?China. What’s more, I have much experience in teaching because I have taught some foreigners Chinese.
In return I hope you can help me with my spoken English. And I hope I can learn something about your country and other English-speaking countries from you.
Looking forward to your reply.

?????? Not bad for a band that has only played together a few times.
?????? The band members are aged between 18 and 23 and consist of lead singer Tony Siciliano, drummer Michael Carmody, Joe Vanzutphen on lead guitar, Melissa Knight on base and Stephen Clarke who plays rhythm guitar.

?????? Biorobotics is a field within robotic science that is based on the movements of living things. The most famous biorobots look and move a lot like humans. However, there are several robots that have been made to mimic (模仿) animals. While many companies develop such robots as toys, some are used for practical purposes.
?????? One example of a biorobot is a flying robot that is based on the movements of bees. The robot, named?“Carlton”, was developed by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. Built to be both light and powerful, it can hover (盘旋) like a bee in tight spaces and also change direction without losing speed. This robot’s abilities make it very useful for military and police search and rescue missions? (任务). For example,?Carlton?can hide behind a tall wall, rise up to quickly look at what is on the other side, and then hide again. It can also send video images of what it sees to soldiers in a safe location far away.
???????“Modsnake”?is a robot that was modeled on snakes. This robot was developed by the Carnegie Mellon University Biorobotics Lab. It is made to move like a snake, so it can pass through narrow spaces, move over all sorts of obstacles (障碍物), climb poles, and even swim. The way Modsnake moves makes it useful for a variety of tasks such as checking for survivors in fallen buildings, finding damaged areas inside of pipes and cleaning up oil spills in lakes and rivers.
?????? A third robot, based on cockroaches, also has several uses. “Sprawl” was designed by a research team at?Stanford?University?to take videos and recover small objects. Like many six-legged robots, Sprawl was made to move like an insect. However, Sprawl is uncommonly fast and strong for its size, just like a real cockroach. These characteristics make it particularly useful for military situations in which an enemy might try to disable it. It is very difficult to shoot because it moves quickly and is relatively small. Even if an enemy shoots Sprawl, it can usually keep functioning.
28.?What is the text mainly about?
A. Biorobots’ military uses.
B. Biorobots based on animals.
C. Biorobots’ flying abilities.
D. Biorobots that work like humans.
29.?What’s the characteristic of?Carlton?
A. Unbreakable.???????????????????
B. Changeable.
C. Weighty.?????????????????????????
D. Swift.
30.?What does the author suggest about Modsnake?
A. It has six legs.
B. It can be dangerous.
C. It is multi-functional.
D. It moves like an insect.
31.?Which of the following is true about Sprawl?
A. It is small but very tough.
B. It is smaller than a cockroach.
C. It was developed by a German research team.
D. It was originally built to destroy small objects.
D
For millions of years, animals have communicated in countless ways — from giving off chemical signals, to performing complex dances. Humans, on the other hand, have the ability to communicate using language. However, scientists don’t agree on when human language first appeared. Even if it’s unclear exactly when it began, human language has developed greatly in the past century, branching off into three different types: natural, artificial, and formal language.
?????? Natural languages, also known as man-made languages, are languages that humans have developed simply out of the need to communicate with each other. Natural languages are the languages people speak, read, write, and listen to every day, such as English, Hindi, and Russian. The vocabulary and rules of these languages have developed naturally, without the influence of an author or creator modeling or changing the languages. In short, natural languages “just happen”.
?????? Artificial languages are also man-made, but they are constructed, or made, by humans who already use a natural language to communicate. The vocabulary and grammar of artificial languages don’t develop naturally but are constructed by an author or creator. There’re a number of reasons for constructing an artificial language. In some cases, it may be a scientific experiment in language; in other cases, it may be the creation of an artist. An artificial language may also be constructed to make communication easier between people of different nationalities. Perhaps the best example of this is Esperanto, an artificial language created in 1887 by L.L. Zamenhof that was basically meant to simplify communication between Europeans.
?????? Finally, formal languages are languages that communicate something, but they are not spoken languages like natural and artificial languages. However, like artificial languages, they are constructed. Formal languages are meant to be very precise in what they communicate. An example of a common formal language is computer code. Computer code has its own set of very strict rules and serves only to “speak” to a computer — people cannot use it to communicate with others.
32.?What caused natural languages to develop?
A. The creation of special writers.
B. People’s hope to record things.
C. The influence of other languages.
D. People’s need to speak to each other.
33.?What do we know about artificial languages?
A. They didn’t appear until the 20th century.
B. They are not used in daily communication.
C. They have no vocabulary or grammar rules.
D. They are created for some specific purposes.
34.?Why does the author mention Esperanto?
A. To sing the praises of L.L. Zamenhof.
B. To give an example of an artificial language.
C. To suggest that it’s still used by many Europeans.
D. To explain how communication can be simplified.
35.?How are formal languages different from natural and artificial languages?
A. People do not speak them.
B. People cannot understand them.
C. They are constructed by a creator.
D. They are only used in computer science.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
?????? Conservation (保护) is the protection of things found in nature. It requires the sensible use of all Earth’s natural resources (资源). People who care about conservation try to protect natural resources so they will still be around in the future.
?????? Some resources are renewable. Living things, such as plants and animals, are examples of renewable resources because they can reproduce themselves.??36??For example, people might catch too many of one type of fish. If not enough fish are left to reproduce, that type of fish might die out. Conservation helps people keep renewable resources in good supply.
?????? Some resources are nonrenewable, which means they cannot be replaced. Fossil fuels, such as coal and petroleum (oil), are examples of nonrenewable resources.??37??They can also look for other resources that serve the same purpose.
?????? Conservation can be hard because it can require people to give up some conveniences. For example, cars make travel easy, but they also produce a lot of air pollution.??38??Such changes can be hard when people have gotten used to a certain way of living.
????????39??For example, a timber (木材) company might be able to protect forest animals by limiting the number of trees it cuts. But the company might not be willing to do this because it will make less money.
????????40??People can recycle paper, glass, and other materials. Industries can limit the amount of pollution they create. Governments can make laws that help to keep the air and water clean.
A.??? They also try to keep the environment clean and healthy.
B.??? But renewable resources can still be damaged or destroyed.
C.??? Money is another reason why conservation can be a challenge.
D.??? Everyone can contribute to conservation in one way or another.
E.??? To have cleaner air, people can choose to drive less and walk more.
F.??? People can conserve nonrenewable resources by using them carefully.
G.??? Recycling saves resources by reusing materials that would be thrown away.

This basic introduction was followed by a developmental period. With my teacher’s??55?, I began to learn beginning notes and note values. Together, we worked to??56??my skills.
?????? The lesson was concluded by putting together all of the information that I had worked to develop. The random (胡乱的)??57??that I made throughout the lesson became music as I??58??my first songs.

选做题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The American writer J.D. Salinger is known for his reclusive (隐居的) nature. He has not given an interview since 1974, or published any new work since 1965. Salinger’s entire published works consist of one novel and 13 short stories, all written in the period 1948?1959. In 1997, a rumour (传闻) started that Salinger was going to bring out the first book version of his last published story. Fans became very excited. However, because of the publicity, Salinger quickly?receded?from the arrangement.
Ironically (讽刺地) for a future writer, when he was at college one of his professors insisted he was the worst English student in the history of the college. Before writing his famous book, he had only published a few short stories in magazines.
?????? Salinger established his reputation with a single novel,?The Catcher in the Rye?(1951), an immediate bestseller which still sells 250,000 copies per year. The main character, Holden Caulfield, is a sensitive, rebellious (叛逆的) teenager experiencing the growing pains of high school and college students.
?????? Salinger did not do much to help publicise his masterpiece and asked that his photograph should not be used in connection with it. The public attention which followed the success of the book led him to move from?New York?to the faraway hills of Cornish,?New Hampshire. Since the late 1960s he has tried to escape publicity. In 1974 he told a reporter that he liked to write but that he wrote for himself and his own pleasure.
?????? Later, he tried to stop the publication of a biography which included letters he had written to other authors and friends. In 2000 his daughter published a biography. In it she stated her father was not a recluse. She said he travelled often and had friends all over the world. She added that he enjoyed being with people and was friendly except where publicity and celebrity are concerned.
?????? Salinger refused to sell the movie rights to any of his stories to?Hollywood?and would not allow any of his works to be involved with film.
1. What does the underlined word “receded” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Suffered.?????????????????
B. Benefited. ???????

D. He was greatly influenced by his professors.
3. What do we learn about?The Catcher in the Rye?

B. It received a great deal of criticism.
C. It brought Salinger much trouble.
D. It still tops the best-seller list.
4. Why did J.D. Salinger move to?New Hampshire?

C. To advertise his new book.
D. To return to his birthplace.
5. What did J.D. Salinger’s daughter say about him?

D. He hoped to see his work adapted into movies.
B
?????? On 24 and 25 November, the busiest days in the American sale calendar and the unofficial start of the international Christmas shopping season, thousands of activists and concerned citizens in 65 countries will take a 24-hour consumer detox (消费者排毒) as part of the 14th yearly Buy Nothing Day, a global event that started in Vancouver, Canada.
?????? From joining zombie marches through shopping centers to organizing credit card “cut-ups” and shopaholic clinics, Buy Nothing Day activists aim to challenge themselves, their families and their friends to switch off from shopping and tune back into life for one day. Featured in recent years by the likes of CNN, Wired, the BBC, and the CBC, the global event is celebrated as a relaxed family holiday, as a non-commercial (非商业性的) street party, or even as a politically charged public protest. Anyone can take part provided they spend a day without spending.
?????? Reasons for participating in Buy Nothing Day are as varied as the people who choose to participate. Some see it as an escape from the marketing mind games and crazy consumer binge (狂欢) that has come to characterise the holiday season, and our culture in general. Others use it to show the environmental consequences of over-consumption.
?????? Two recent disaster warnings outline the sudden urgency of our dilemma (进退两难的窘境). First of all, in October, a global warming report by economist Sir Nicholas Stern predicted that climate change will lead to the most massive and most wide-ranging market failure the world has ever seen. Soon afterwards, a major study published in the journal Science forecasted the near-total collapse (崩溃) of global fisheries within 40 years.
?????? Kalle Lasn, co-founder of the Adbusters Media Foundation, which was responsible for turning Buy Nothing Day into an international yearly event, said, “Our headlong fall into ecological collapse requires a complete change in the way we see things. Driving hybrid cars and limiting industrial emissions (排放物) is great, but they are band-aid solutions if we don’t address the central problem: we have to consume less. This is the message of Buy Nothing Day.”
?????? As Lasn suggests, Buy Nothing Day isn’t just about changing your habits for one day. It’s about starting a lasting lifestyle commitment to consuming less and producing less waste.
6. What do we know about Buy Nothing Day?
A. It was founded in?America.
B. It discourages consuming.
C. It rewards non-shopping families.
D. It aims to clear shoppers from the streets.
7. What is the holiday season like?
A. Shoppers spend money like water.
B. The shopping centers are in a mess.
C. People waste time on street parties.
D. People often stage a protest march.
8. What is the focus of Paragraph 4?
A. The effects of Buy Nothing Day.
B. Recent studies on global market.
C. The possible dangers people may face.
D. Reasons for organizing Buy Nothing Day.
9. What does Lasn say about the underlying message of Buy Nothing Day?
A. Reduce carbon emissions.
B. Shop less for one single day.
C. Be more active in production.
D. Lead an eco-friendly lifestyle.
