阅读理解。     Australia －a huge island continent that lies to the south of Asia. Australia－more than two hundred
years old, a nation that is still growing.
     Its big cities lie on the southeast coast, this is where most Australians live. Australians prefer to own
their own houses, though some live in apartments. Australians are a suburban people. The suburbs
surround the cities for many miles, and so efficient transport is of great importance. As the economy
grows, so do its industries- a higher level of production, a wider range of products.
      The Australian works hard, but he likes his leisure. The climate makes outdoor activities the most
popular.
      Canberra, the capital of Australia, is a planned modem city located inland. Australia is governed by
a parliamentary democracy. The representatives of other countries have their embassies here. Australia
wants to strengthen relations with her neighbors.
      Australia is a strange land, a land of vast expanses- fertile valleys, snow fields and deserts- also a
land with unique animal, many that can not be found on any other continent in the world today.
     Much of the continent is dry, but man has utilized the land, made it productive, with its tools, with its
technology. This is the driest continent of all, and water is a precious possession, more precious than all
other natural resources. Large dams are built to collect the water, there to irrigate the fields of pastures
and crops.
      But Australia is changing. The land of wool and wheat is now a land of large-scale industry and
mining. The costs of developing the new mineral discoveries are enormous, but the rewards are great
too.
     Australia - a young and developing nation. Australia - a nation that wants to communicate with its
neighbors.1.Australia is an island located ______ of Asia and its big cities lie ____ of the coast.A. to the south; on the southeast

阅读理解。     The January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design has come.
Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers
to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic
fabrics in their lines.
     The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with
Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials
can still be tough to finD．"Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren"t comparable fabrics
that can just replace what you"re doing and what your customers are used to," he says. For example,
organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some
popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.
     Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade
show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs (企业
家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to
designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers,
up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative
aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional (过渡型的) cotton at higher prices,
thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. "Mainstream is about to occur," says
Hahn.
     Some analysts are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists,
up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted
consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: "Not that I"m aware of."
Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she"s on the hunt for "cute
stuff that isn"t too expensive." By her own admission, green just isn"t yet on her minD．But-thanks
to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers-one day it will be.1．What is said about FutureFashion?A．It inspired many leading designers to start going green.
B．It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.
C．It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organizeD．
D．It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.2．According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that________.

A．much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials
B．they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials
C．customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials
D．quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available

3．We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion_________.A．can attend various trade shows free
B．are readily recognized by the fashion world
C．can buy organic cotton at favorable prices
D．are gaining more and more support4．What is Natalie Hormilla"s attitude toward ecofashion?A．She doesn"t seem to care about it.
B．She doesn"t think it is sustainable.
C．She is doubtful of its practical value.
D．She is very much opposed to the ideA．5．What does the author think of green fashion?A．Green products will soon go mainstream.
B．It has a very promising future.
C．Consumers have the final say.
D．It will appeal more to young people.

     Many cities in the world are benefiting from the night activities of a group of people who call
themselves guerrilla (游击队) gardeners. Armed with trowels, spades and a van full of flowers
and plants, guerrilla gardeners turn abandoned urban land into a blaze of color. In city centre
locations where there was mud, weeds and empty plastic bottles, residents often wake up to
find that the wasted area has been transformed overnight with brightly-colored bedding plants.
    In most British cities, local governments and police turn a blind eye to the effort of the gardeners,
whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall. And so far, there has been nothing
but praise from the astonished and delighted local residents when they find their neighborhood
transformed in such a striking fashion.
    Not only do the guerrilla gardeners beautify neglected places, they also return regularly to
water the plants and weed the flower beds. They also make sure that at least some of the plants
they bring are evergreens, which means that the area doesn"t look depressing in the winter months.
    The first guerrilla gardener in London was Richard Reynolds, whose day job is at an advertising
agency. Mr. Reynolds, a graduate of Oxford University, began his efforts two years ago when he
moved to a flat in a tower block in South London. From his balcony, he could see several empty
concrete pots, placed by the local governments to contain plants but never used. He went out after
midnight and filled the pots with plants, and then planted more flowers in the path leading to the
entrance to the block.
    He then set up a website to explain his plan and called upon more gardeners to join him. Cash
donations flooded in and, more importantly, volunteers rushed to be part of the campaign. Within
six months, there were five hundred people in London prepared to come out at very short notice
to restore neglected parts of the urban landscape. There are now unofficial but carefully-organized
groups in many cities in Britain and North America and there is also a website where would-be
urban gardeners can find out the location of the next expedition.

1. These guerrilla gardeners do their work ______.A. at the request of the government
B. nearby their house
C. often in return for others" help
D. out of their own free will2. Richard Reynolds decided to fill the pots with plants in order to ______.A. plant more flowers in the path
B. beautify the neighborhood
C. attract attention for his ad agency
D. make the plants a feast for his eyes3. The guerrilla gardeners often return to their night working places with the purpose of ______.A. looking after these plants
B. enjoying these beautiful flowers
C. helping plants live through winter months
D. changing the varieties of the plants4. It can be inferred from the text that these guerrilla gardeners ______.A. are mainly from the United Kingdom
B. will later get well paid
C. are still not accepted by the local government
D. become more and more organized

阅读理解。     Of course,the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and
fork,but that"s only superficial. Besides,in decent restaurants,you can always ask for a pair of knife
and fork,if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West,you
have your own plate of food,while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares.
If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you"re in the country for
the first time,he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.
     The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes,to be followed by the main courses
of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to
be followed by staple food ranging from rice,noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to
go with other dishes,you should say so in good time,for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple
food at last or have none of them at all.
     Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts
like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners,there are always "public" chopsticks
and spoons for this purpose,but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine
friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it,just leave the food in
the plate.
     People in China tend to over-order food,for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed.
When you have had enough,just say so. Or you will always overeat!1. What"s the main difference on dinner table between China and West is ___________.A. You have your own plate of food in West while in China everyone shares the dishes.
B. On Chinese dinner table,chopsticks replace knife and fork.
C. You"re treated to a formal dinner for the first time.
D. The host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.2 .If you have a dinner in a Chinese home,in which order will the food be served in China?
a. a set of four cold dishes.
b. staple food such as rice,noodle or dumplings.
c. the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.
d. serving soup.A. acbd
B. cabd
C. acdb
D. cadb3. According to the passage,we can infer that ___________.A.Chinese think it impolite for guests to leave food in the plate.
B.Chinese think it polite to put food into the plated of the guests with their own chopsticks.
C.People in China tend to over-order food,for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed.
D. Chinese all think it impolite for guests to ask for a pair of knife and fork.4. The sentence,in passage 2,"you should say so in good time" means ______.A. you should say so early
B. you should say so happily
C. you"d better say so
D. you should say so kindly.5. The "public chopsticks and spoons" are used for/to ______.A. show the politeness to the guests.

C. show the genuine friendship and politeness
D. put food into the plates of their guests
