B The Alice Ferguson Foundation is a non-profit group that works to improve the environment by building relationships between people and nature. It teaches people ways to protect the environment. At the end of the year, it 1 / 7 designs events to help children celebrate Christmas without increasing the amount of waste they create. Hanna Seligmann works for the foundation. VOA joined Seligmann recently during one of her talks. “So let’s figure out what is in our bag of trash. ”She shows adults and children how to reduce waste during the holiday gift-giving season. ”You can sort it as a cardboard item or you can sort it as a plastic item. ”Seligmann works with volunteers. “We encourage using things that are already in your house like newspaper, old magazines, using a gift within a gift. You can wrap something in a reusable napkin, wrap something in a scarf, or a shawl(围巾)or even a reusable tote bag(大手提袋). ” Lori Arguelles is the executive director for environmental education at the Alice Ferguson Foundation. ”Over time we realized that really just doing trash cleanups was the symptom of the problem, not getting to the root cause. And so it was just a little over a decade ago that we started the initiative(项目)itself. ” One activity is called the Trash Timeline Game. It teaches children that the things they throw away do not decompose at the same rate. For example, paper dissolves in about four weeks. An apple core takes two months. A metal can takes up to 100 years. A plastic bag will not decompose for 450 years. Glass takes 1, 000 years. And, they say, styrofoam(泡沫聚苯乙烯)never dissolves. Young people taking part in the program learn that reducing waste is important not just during the holidays, but every day of the year. 24. Why is the Alice Ferguson Foundation created? A.

Over a decade our efforts to protect the environment proved fruitless. D. Over time we found the root cause of protecting the environment. 27. What’s the meaning of “decompose”? A. break down B. break out C. store up D. store away C A single blood test that can reveal a person’s susceptibility(敏感性)to cancer and identify any potentially cancer-causing genes--that is the futuristic promise made by genetic testing. It is the reason why a female executive from Wuhan, surnamed Chen, recently spent$5. 925(40, 000yuan)on a genetic test report. She was drawn by advertisements that claimed the rest could help prevent potential cancers in advance”. But without the guidance of a qualified genetic counselor, such book-length reports are almost not understood. Li Zongzhe, 30, a cardiovascular(心脏血管的)doctor at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, is about to become Hubei Province’s first intermediate-level genetic counselor. The hospital currently has only two elementary-level counselors and none at an advanced-lever. In 2004, L i attended Huazhong University of Science and Technology’s Tongji Medical College and studied under Professor Wang Daowen, director of the hospital’s genetics clini c. Now, after a day’s work, Li goes to his office on the hospital’s 24th floor to continue his research into genetic testing. He sleeps in his office, only going home twice a week to change his clothes. “I am entirely interest-driven, otherwise I wouldn’t have lasted this long, ”Li said. ”The more research I do, the more I realize that all diseases, apart from external wounds, are related to genetics to some extent. ” “Our job is to help clients understand their own genetic makeup so that we can evaluate the risks, understand the root causes, and offer the best possible treatments. ” Recently Li worked with a couple whose first child had brittle(易碎的)bone disease, and ruled out a random change as the cause of the genetic disorder. He there fore advised the family, who wanted a second, healthy child, to have a genetic test carried out on the fetus(胎儿)8 to 16 weeks after pregnancy to assess its probability of inheriting the disease. 28. Why did Chen spend so much on a genetic test? A. Because she suffered from cancer and needed to do a test. B. Because she wanted to prevent her potential of suffering from cancer. C. Because she wanted to reveal a person’s susceptibility to cancer. D. Because she was attracted by a local advertisement. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Li learned genetics from Professor Wang Daowen. B. Li is the best genetic counselor in China. C. Li’ home is on the hospital’s 24th floor. D. Li finds from his research that all diseases are related to genetics. 30. What did Li suggest the family do in the last paragraph? A. He suggested they should have a second healthy child to have a genetic test. B. He suggested the mother should have a genetic test when she wanted to have a second pregnancy. C. He suggested they should make a genetic test on their second child immediately the mother had pregnancy. D. He suggested they should make a genetic test on their second child 2-4 months after pregnancy. 31. What is the best title of the passage? A. An interest-driven doctor B. A genetic counselor C. A genetic test D. A medical guidance D If you suddenly found out you only had 6 months to live, would the things in front of you matter to you?Would the emails waiting for a response matter?Would the work you’re doing matter?Would a big car and nice house and high-paying job and cool computer and mobile device and nice shoes and clothes matter?I’m not saying they wouldn’t matter…but it’s important to ask yourself whether they would. For many of us, it’s the loved ones in our lives.If we don’t have loved ones, maybe it’s time we started figuring out why. Maybe we haven’t made time for others, for getting out and meeting others and helping others. Maybe we have shut ourselves in somehow. Or maybe we do have love ones, but we don’t se em to have the time we want to spend with them. For many of us, doing work that matters would matter. That might mean helping others, or making a vital contribution to society, or creating something brilliant and inspiring, or expressing ourselves somehow. For many of us, experiencing life would matter—really being in the moment, finding passion in our lives, seeing the world and traveling, or just seeing the world that’s around us right now. I highly recommend that you spend at least a little time now, and regularly, figuring out what really matters. Make the time for what does matter today. Put it on your schedule, and don’t miss that appointment. Make those tough decisions—because choosing to live a life that is filled with the important stuff means making choices, and they’re not always easy choices. But it matters. Spend time with your significant others;show them how important they are. Take the time to stay with your child, to read with her, to play with her, to have good conversations with her, to take walks with her. Take time to be in nature, to appreciate the beauty of the world around us. The life you have left is a gift. Cherish it. Enjoy it now, to the fullest. Do what matters, mow. 32. Why does the author ask so many questions in Paragraph 1? A. To expect readers to solve them. B. To make readers focus on the problems. C. To share his puzzles with readers. D. To arouse readers’ interest in his topic. 33. For many of us, the following things matter EXCEPT . A. enjoying life B. having a big car C. creating some great things D. being with our loved ones 34. What does the author suggest? A. We should often reflect on what is important in our life. B. We should spend a little time living a life. C. We should choose to live an important life. D. We should spend all our time with our significant ones. 35. From the writing style of this passage, we can see that it is . A. a novel B. a report C. a speech D. a poem 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。 Mistakes are not only a part of life but also necessary for a successful life. But without making use of our mistakes, we would neither go on to master any skill nor realize our goal. George Bernard Shaw said, ”A man learns to skate by staggering(摇晃)about, making a fool of himself. 36 ” But some of us, terrified by possibility of failure, lose pleasure of adventures by being too concerned with what people will think. 37 Sometimes some parents set impossible high standard to encourage top performance. They tell children so often that it will be a great disappointment if they do not reach the goal. 38 As a result it goes against their wish. One of the first things to realize is that success follows a natural course of trail and error. Impossible standards of perfection make us lose our peace of mid. The sooner one accepts that he is less than perfect, the sooner he can achieve his goal. 39 We often tell our children how great those inventors are, for they invent the products of man’s achievements. But what we forget to emphasize is the painful process by which these miracles came into being. We should stress that nothing comes out right the first time. The great successes in life are those few who accept responsibility for their mistakes. 40 Many major achievements have resulted from adventurous mistakes, which become stepping-stones of success. They gather their strength to realize their goal, never giving up. Accept mistakes, take a sense of homour, work hard and there is no doubt your success will come in end. A. They can go on with great adventure. B. In fact, no perfect things exist in the world. C. He is taking great pain that can’t be imagined. D. These parents in fact force their children into fear of failure. E. They never waste emotion on regrets when they make a mistake. F. The fact is that most people never observe us so closely as we believe. G. Indeed, he progresses in all things by not minding making a fool of himself. 第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1. 5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Have you ever been tempted to cut a corner or to take the easiest route, though you know it may not necessarily be the best one?Or have you ever made a 41 because it was quick and simple, knowing that it might come back to bite you later?

And the next… When 50 came, he heard his old companions flying overhead and an almost forgotten longing deep 51 him awoke. The duck had reduced his instinct for freedom over the 52 winter.

However, as far as I’m concerned, reading is less important than we think. First, reading can broaden our horizons. By reading different kinds of books, we can have different experiences which also enrich our life great. Second, reading is a good way to relax ourselves. When we concentrate on books that we are really interested, we will forget the troubles that we meet in the real world. Last but not least, we can get mental encouragement from reading as well as. There are many books about great men who always try their best to achieve their aims even if we are face with many difficulties.
