(2011·广东卷·D)In a world with limited land，water and other natural resources(资源)，the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise．Actually，the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm．People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed，and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的)ways．That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products．In other words，we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources．
Today，sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries．According to a recent study，the global market for low carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade．China，for example，has set its mind on leading that market，hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy resolution．It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy，and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high speed trains．In addition，we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil(棕榈油)，which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest．In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown more than 50%．
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets．First，they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy．Besides，stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development．Finally，governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction，and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one．
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet．That is no small task，but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries．
1．The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ________．
A．it makes the world warmer
B．it consumes natural resources
C．it brings severe damage to future
D．it makes growth hard to continue
2．What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A．China lacks wind and solar energy．
B．China is the leader of the low carbon market．
C．High speed trains are a low carbon development．
D．Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests．
3．To fully develop the low carbon markets governments can ________．
A．cut public expenses
B．forbid carbon emission
C．develop public resources
D．encourage energy conservation
4．We can learn from the last paragraph that business have many chances to ________．
A．develop sustainable products
B．explore new natural resources
C．make full use of natural resources
D．deal with the major challenge
5．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To introduce a new business model．
B．To compare two business models．
C．To predict a change of the global markets．
D．To advocate sustainable development．

Always say “please” and try to remember some of the British bar staff pet hate．__4__They don’t like people standing foolishly against the bar when there are a lot of customers wanting for service．And they do not like people who wait until the end of the order before asking for such drinks as Guinness Stout which take considerably longer to pour than other drinks．

From the picture I can see a boy trapped by a heavy stone，on which “Laziness” was said．One of the boy’s hands is holding a balloon，which has a word “talent”．However，the balloon can’t help him fly up because of the heavy stone below．
The picture really sends a message to us．Even if you are gifted to some degree，you can’t just rely on your talent．Talent is important to your success，but can’t guarantee your success unless you work hard．Working hard is the only way to make sure you reach your goal．
So，if you want your dream to come true，you should try hard even if you are quite clever．

With the College Entrance Examinations approaching day by day，some senior three students are moving out from their dorms and living in rented apartments near their schools．
Most students think although school dorms bring them fun and friendship，the blackout rule to guarantee students sleeping hours doesn’t leave them enough time to finish their homework．Worse still，the noise in the dorms not only influences their studies but also ruins their rest．To many parents, they’d like to provide a better environment for their children so that they can study more efficiently．Besides，they can take care of their children’s daily meals and laundry，so their children can eat better and have a comfortable life．
In my opinion，whether a student should rent a house outside his school depends on his need．I am in favor of renting a house for the sake of study．After all，time is pressing．But I strongly recommend that parents should care much about their children while they are outside school．

As is known to us all，the story—Here Comes the Wolf tells us that we must be honest．However，there’re lots of phenomena of dishonesty nowadays．
Being dishonest does great harm not only to other people but also to yourself．Take the case of fake milk powder for example．After drinking this kind of milk，the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were still thin，which badly affected their health．To our great relief，the producers got accused and punished for all the serious consequences in the end．
Having the reputation of being honest and reliable will make other people trust you，which will provide you many benefits and give you opportunities that others may not get．Being honest，you will find it easier to cooperate with others and people will be friendly to you and support you．In a sense，if life is a long journey，honesty will be the backpack that should be taken along all the way．

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my Blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me．I also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts．Despite this love of technology，I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备) and truly communicate with others．
On occasion，I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers．My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas．Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom．I have a rule—no laptops，iPads，phones，etc．When students were told my rule in advance of the class，some of them were not happy．
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology．There’s a bit of truth to that．Some students assume that I am anti technology．There’s no truth in that at all．I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students．
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas．Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas．I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas．I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion．
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create．Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge，they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom．
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class，but until I hear a really good reason for the change，I’m sticking to my plan．A few hours of technology free dialogue is just too sweet to give up．
1．Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ________．
A．the course material
B．others’ misuse of technology
C．discussion topics
D．the author’s class regulations
2．The underlined word “engage” in Para．4 probably means ________．
A．explore B．accept
C．change D．reject
3．According to the author，the use of technology in the classroom may ________．
A．keep students from doing independent thinking
B．encourage students to have in depth conversations
C．help students to better understand complex themes
D．affect students’ concentration on course evaluation
4．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ________．
A．is quite stubborn
B．will give up teaching history
C．will change his teaching plan soon
D．values technology free dialogues in his class

(2011·安徽卷·E)George Prochnik would like the world to_put_a_sock_in_it．He makes his case in a new book，Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise．Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice)：
“We’ve become so accustomed to noise，there’s almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial．If you tell someone to be quiet，you sound like an old man．But it’s never been more important to find continuing quiet．Silence focuses us，improves our health，and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction．”
“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little．During a Japanese tea ceremony，the smallest sounds become a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl，the edges of a kimono (和服) brushing against the floor．”
“Deaf people are very attentive (专注的) in almost every aspect of life．If two deaf people are walking together，using sign language，they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other．They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings．Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them．If we remove the powerful blasts (一阵阵) of noise，we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps，of bird songs and ice cracking (开裂声)．It’s astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen．”
1．What does the phrase “to put a sock in it” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．To be quiet．
B．To be colorful．
C．To be full of love．
D．To be attentive to someone．
2．What does Prochnik say about us
A．We are used to quietness．
B．We have to put up with noise．
C．We do not think silence to be beneficial．
D．We do not believe lasting peace to be available．
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to Prochnik
A．We need more sounds in our lives．
B．There is nothing to be learned from the deaf．
C．We are not aware how rich the world around us is．
D．There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony．
4．It can be inferred from the text that ________．
A．we can benefit a lot from old people
B．it is a good idea to use sign language
C．there is no escape from the world of sound
D．it is possible to find how beautiful things sound

Is there something that you’ve always wanted to try but just never had the time？Well，make plans to try it now since you are on summer vacation．Not all vacations call for taking a tour bus to take photos of famous landmarks．Some vacations allow you plenty of opportunities to learn．
The most difficult aspect of a learning vacation may be choosing one because the possibilities are endless．If you enjoy cooking，various companies can take you to Italy，France，Spain，Mexico or even Peru．Once there，you can learn to prepare the local cuisine(烹饪)．Trips are often planned to fit in with local food festivals or special events．
The term “learning vacation” often brings language to mind．The best way to learn a language is in an environment where it’s spoken．Study Spanish，French or English．Or attempt a more unusual language like Polish，Estonian or Thai．You’ll be able to learn about the country and absorb the culture at the same time．
If you are fond of sports，you can polish your skills or learn new ones．Golf and tennis schools welcome players of all levels．If you want a bigger thrill，you can learn to surf，go climbing or race cars．It’s even possible to learn the art and techniques of bull fighting while on vacation!
You can also discover your inner artist．Many places offer painting classes in different mediums．The scenic locations of the schools offer plenty of subjects that provide inspiration for practice．
If you prefer capturing the world on film，take a photography vacation．Travel with a small group to photograph beautiful animals or scenery．You can also practice your technique on people or at historical sights．
Once you decide on a vacation，choose a company carefully．Request names of recent customers you can contact，and then ask them for an evaluation (评价)．The more you know before you go，the better prepared you’ll be．Then go out and learn something!
1．Why is it hard for you to decide on a learning vacation
A．Because it is hard for you to make plans．
B．Because the possibilities are unlimited．
C．Because there are many good foods from abroad．
D．Because there’re too many food festivals or events．
2．The advantages of learning a language in its native country is that ________．
A．the environment is fit for you to use the language
B．you are able to learn the original foreign language
C．native speakers offer you a lot of chances to practice

3．Which of the following sports suits you if you don’t like thrills
A．Car racing． B．Playing tennis． C．Rock climbing． D．Surfing．
4．The structure of the text would be________．
5．The purpose of writing the text is to________．

How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings
Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts，feelings and behaviors．But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的，实证的) basis．They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity，keep people focused，and lead to relaxation．
Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity．In 2007，Joan Meyers Levy at the University of Minnesota，reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think．Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely，which may lead them to make more abstract connections．Low ceilings，on the other hand，may inspire a more detailed outlook．
In addition to ceiling height，the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate．Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention．
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically，and it seems to，according to a study led by C．Kenneth Tanner，head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia．Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary，language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots．
Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim (暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up．If that is true generally，keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation．Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax．
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings．“We have a very limited number of studies，so we’re_almost_looking_at_the_problem_through_a_straw(吸管)，”architect David Allison says．“How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad，generalized use of them？That’s what we’re all struggling with．”
1．What does Joan Meyers Levy focus on in her research
A．Light． B．Ceilings．
C．Windows． D．Furniture．
2．The passage tells us that ________．
A．the shape of furniture may affect people’s feelings
B．lower ceilings may help improve students’ creativity
C．children in a dim classroom may improve their grades
D．students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed
3．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ________．
A．the problem is not approached step by step
B．the researches so far have faults in themselves
C．the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect
D．research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns
4．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage
CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Sub point(次要点) C：Conclusion

Chinese senior high school graduates have different opinions on how to choose their majors and universities．
According to a survey we made，about 35% of the students believe the choice should be based on their own interest．They say interest is the mother of success．Besides，it is a miserable thing to have to spend most of your time studying what you have no interest in．
More students (around 45%)，however，insist that more consideration should be given to the needs of society，for，they argue，not everyone can find the job they like best．What’s more，interest can be developed and lost．
Interestingly，there are about 20% who find it too difficult to make a choice and would rather depend on their parents or teachers to make a decision．

B．If you let out your real name，trouble may arrive．

When are kids ready for friends，
and how can parents help
__1__The roots of friendship reach far earlier into a child’s life．When babies like my daughter play，even alongside other children，they’re still playing by themselves．It’s called parallel play．By the time a child is two，she’ll be interested in taking turns and playing cooperatively．__2__This helps kids learn languages and other skills from each other．
Children between the ages of three and six play directly with each other．Their games have rules．And friendship only gets more important from there on out，as kids gain the life skills that will lead to future independence from their parents．
__3__Weston’s three advice books for girls，list a few things parents can do to instill friendship skills．
“They can be role models themselves by enjoying their own friends and showing that friendship is part of their own lives，”Weston says．“Small children need to learn to say thank you and wave bye bye，”Weston says．__4__
Weston’s point here is important：__5__They’re not focused on being liked as much as they actively like others．
A．Kids who make friends easily take an interest in other people．
B．If Sally jumped off a cliff，she will feel very sad．
C．She’ll still do some similar playing，though．
D．All the time，parents can help ready their children for successful friendships．
E．It’s well known that kids in middle schools place a high value on friendship．
F．And they can pass on some of those unwritten rules of friendship．
G．Older kids need to learn about hurt feelings．

As we know，a growing outbreak of H1N1 flu has been sparked in many countries．An increasing number of cases are being reported every day．
It’s thought that H1N1 flu spreads in the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses do，that is，spreading from person to person，mainly through the coughs and sneezes of people who are sick with the virus．
Faced with this severe disease，here are some everyday measures we should take to stay healthy．First，cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze．Wash your hands often with soap and water，especially after you cough or sneeze．Avoid touching your eyes，nose or mouth．Germs spread that way．If you get sick，stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them．
Finally，H1N1 flu is not a terribly deadly disease，which is curable．So，don’t be nervous and just keep calm as usual．

A
(2011·天津卷·B)In the fall of 1985，I was a bright eyed girl heading off to Howard University，aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere．Twenty one years later I am still a bright eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell．
My grandma，an amazing woman，graduated from college at the age of 65．She was the first in our family to reach that goal．But one year after I started college，she developed cancer．I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her．It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait．
Then I got married with another dream：building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children．In 1999，we adopted our first son．To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional．A year later came our second adopted boy．Then followed son No．3．In 2003，I gave birth to another boy．
You can imagine how fully occupied I became，raising four boys under the age of 8！Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo．Not surprising，I never did make it back to college full time．But I never gave up on the dream either．I had only one choice：to find a way．That meant taking as few as one class each semester．
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys．They often wanted me to stay home with them．There certainly were times I wanted to quit，but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives．
In 2007，I graduated from the University of North Carolina．It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
I am not special，just single minded．It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge，but when you’re in the midst of it，it just seems normal．Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day．It’s a process．Remember：little steps add up to big dreams．
1．When the author went to Howard University，her dream was to be ________．
A．a writer B．a teacher
C．a judge D．a doctor
2．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college
A．She wanted to study by herself．

A．She was busy yet happy with her family life．
B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons．
C．She wanted to remain a full time housewife．
D．She was too confused to make a correct choice．
4．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph
A．Failure is the mother of success．
B．Little by little，one goes far．
C．Every coin has two sides．
D．Well begun，half done．
5．Which of the following can best describe the author
A．Caring and determined．

(2011·湖南卷·B)My father was Chief Engineer of a merchant ship，which was sunk in Word War Ⅱ．The book Night of the U boats told the story．
Memories
In September,1940，my mother，sister and I went to Swansea，where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail．We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him safe．
Then I remember my mother lying face down，sobbing．She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷)．
I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报)，which in those days always brought bad news．My grandmother opened it．It read，“Safe，Love Ted．”
My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee，his arm in a bandage．
He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war．For as long as I can remember，he had a weak heart．Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes．He said it was because of the cigarettes．Whichever，he died suddenly in his early 50s．
Ten years later I read Night of the U boats and was able to complete the story．
Torpedo
One torpedo struck the ship．Father was in the engine room，where the third engineer was killed．He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned．
By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone．Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck fast．When he tried to cut it free，it swung against the ship，injuring his hand and arm．He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket．
Three days later，he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow．All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph．
A Toast
In my room is the book and the photograph．Often，glass in hand，I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion，a sinking ship，a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue Lest(以免) we forget，I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war．
1．We can infer that the mother and children went to Swansea ________．
A．to meet a friend
B．to see the father off
C．to take a family photo
D．to enjoy the sailing of the ship
2．What did the author learn about the father from the telegram
A．He was still alive．
B．His knee was broken．
C．His ship had been sunk．
D．He had arrived in Glasgow．
3．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refers to the father’s ________．
A．weak heart
B．taking a shore job
C．failure to return to sea
D．injury caused by a torpedo
4．What can we know about the author’s father after his ship was attacked
A．He lost his arm．
B．He repaired the engines．
C．He managed to take a lifeboat．
D．He was the last to leave the ship．
5．What is the passage mainly about
A．A group of forgotten heroes．

C．A ship engineer’s wartime experience．
D．A merchant’s memories of a sea rescue．

Nowadays，with the growing popularity of computers，teachers，students and their parents are paying less and less attention to their handwriting．
According to a recent survey，about 85．8 percent of middle school students think that their handwriting is poor．Yet for various reasons，many students don’t want to improve their handwriting．51．5 percent of the students think that they can just use a computer，so there is no need to waste time improving their handwriting，and 32．3 percent believe that they are so busy with the study that they do not have time to practice．10．9 percent think that practicing handwriting is useless．
As the saying goes，writing style shows the man．Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial，especially for middle school students．Therefore，in my opinion，more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future．
