阅读理解。     All sorts of things become litter(垃圾) but two of the most common and most dangerous are cigarette
butts(烟头) and plastic bags. Litter is a big problem for our environment but it is a problem that individuals can easily do something about. Not littering at all or cleaning up litter, such as cigarette butts and plastic
bags, greatly improves the quality of our environment.
     Although cigarette butts are small, they are bad for the environment. Over 1,600 billion cigarettes are
smoked each year in China and large quantities of the butts are thrown away. Worldwide, about 4. 5
trillion cigarette butts are littered every year. Apart from the fact that butts spoil the beauty of the
environment, they contain some very toxic chemicals. These find their way into the water supply where
they reduce the quality of the water and cause danger to plants and animals that live there. So, if people
have to smoke, they shouldn"t throw away the cigarette butts but put them in the rubbish bin instead.
     Plastic bags are another common form of litter that is a danger to the environment. There are several
reasons for this. They are made from oil and gas, which are non-renewable resources(资源). If they are
not recycled, these resources are lost to us. In China, 2 billion plastic bags are used every day. A large
number of these become litter. This is a huge problem because they last from 20 to 1,000 years in the
environment. They float easily in the air and water and travel long distances. They find their way to rivers,
parks, beaches and oceans. Plastic bags kill up to 1,000,000 seabirds, 100, 000 sea mammals and
countless fish each year worldwide. It is up to people not to let plastic bags become litter. It would be
better if they used fewer and recycled them.
     Cleaning up your cigarette butts and plastic bags would improve the environment. And we would
know that we were doing something to look after our planet. However, I believe the best solution would
be not to smoke or use plastic bags at all.1. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?
( 1= paragraph 1;  2= paragraph 2;   3= paragraph 3;   4= paragraph 4 )A. para1+para2,3,4      
B. para1+para2,3+para4    
C. para1,2,3+para4      
D.para1,2+para3,42. The word "toxic" in the paragraph 2 most probably mean "________"A. valuable    
B. useless      
C. extra          
D. harmful3. From  the text. we know the fact that_________ A. plastic bags cause 1 million deaths of seabirds each year worldwide
B. Chinese smokers litter up to 4. 5 trillion cigarette ends every year
C. the cigarette ends can last 20 to 1,000 years in the environment of China
D. people in the world use 2 billion plastic bags in a single day4. What"s probably the best title of the passage?A. Say Goodbye to Smoking                      
B. Protect the Sea Animals    
C. Clean Up Your Cigarette ends and Bags    
D. Use Paper Bags Now

阅读理解。      Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so
it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (食物). The old saying "an apple a day keeps the
doctor away." is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they
contain vitamins. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form (丸剂), believing that these will make them
healthy. But a good diet is made up of nutritive food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body
doesn"t need or use extra vitamins, so why they waste money on them?
     In the modern Western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw
anyt hing into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse
by bad eating habits is frightening.1. The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that        .A. eating apples regularly does lots of good to our health.  
B. the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits  
C. apples can take the place of doctors
D. an apple is a sure cure for illness2. In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know        .A. our bodies need food, or we can"t live  
B. often eating apples is a good habit  
C. taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless  
D. a good diet is of great importance for our health   3. In the modern western countries        .A. people won"t want to pay more attention to their eating  
B. people throw everything into their stomachs without chewing.
C. list of people"s illness are caused or made worse by bad eating habits

阅读理解     In the past, man did not have to think about protection of the environment. There were very few
people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
     Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural
resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals.
If we continue to do this, human life on the earth will not survive.
     Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet,
with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut
down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on land. Yet, we continue to use more powerful
machines to cut down more and more trees.
     We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in
most countries waste is still put into rivers, but there are few laws to stop this.
     We also know that if the population of the countries in the world is to rise at the present rate in a few
years, there will not be enough food.
     What can we do to solve these problems?
     If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available for everyone. Land that is
used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
     Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycle them.
     The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
     Finally, if all of us think about the problem, we will have a better and cleaner planet in the future.1. This passage mainly tells us about ______.A. the problems we are facing today about environment and the ways to solve them
B. the unlimited natural resources in the world
C. our rivers are being polluted by waste from factories
D. the ways early man protected the environment2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. If we eat more vegetables, more food can be saved.
B. In the past, there was no need for people to think about environmental protection.
C. If we keep on cutting trees, forests will disappear.
D. We shouldn’t take more and more fish out of the sea, or there will soon be no fish left.3. What is implied (暗示) in the passage?A. Man is cleverer than any other animal.
B. Man will destroy himself if he doesn’t solve the problem.
C. Modern fishing methods are helpful in our fishing industry.
D. We should make more laws in order to survive.4. From the passage we can see that the world’s natural resources ______.A. will never be used up
B. are being polluted
C. are as plentiful as in the past
D. are being used up very quickly

阅读理解     There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with
factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the
worst air pollution, the problem is worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud
of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away
from any major concentration (集中)of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of
the entire earth may be infected by air pollution.
     Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from
the burning of coal and oil is creating a "greenhouse effect" - raising the world"s average temperature. If
this view is correct and the world"s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice will
melt and cities such as Newk York, Boston, Miami, and Newk^ Orleans will be in water.
     Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is preventing
sunlight and lowering the earth"s temperature - a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just
a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture
difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of
these conditions will happen though one recent government reports that the greenhouse effect is very
possible. Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset(抵消)each other and the world"s
temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people don"t think about
the damage on our environment caused by the "advanced civilization". Maybe the air pollution is the price
the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worth?2. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution ________.A. caused widespread damage in the countryside
B. affected the entire eastern half of the United States
C. had damaged effect on health
D. existed only in urban and industrial areas3. As to the greenhouse effect, the author ________.A. shares the same view with the scientists
B. is uncertain of its happening
C. rejects it as being ungrounded
D. thinks it will destroy the world soon4. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that ________.A. lowering the world"s temperature only a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster
B. raising the world"s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth
C. almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade
D. the world"s temperature will remain constant in the years to come5. This passage is mainly about ________.A. the greenhouse effect
B. the burning of coal and oil
C. the potential effect of air pollution
D. the likelihood of a newk ice age

     Many solutions we seek with regard to achieving sustainability(可持续性) are within our reach.
That"s the lesson our school"s Environment Club has learned over the past two years. We"ve reduced
the amount of our waste at our school by 25 per cent.    1     We have the evidence we need to
suggest we are making a difference. If you are interested in leading your school on a similar journey
of change, here are some tips.
      2   
   Examine the garbage can to find out how much of your school"s garbage could be picked out from
the waste stream and be reused. We found that more than 80 percent of our waste could have been
reused, recycled or composted(制成堆肥).
    Prepare dustbins there.
      3    You will find you can cover the cost of the purchase of the dustbins within a few months simply
by selling the bottles and other items you collect.
    Compost the waste.
    
Start a composting system in your school. You may reduce your waste by as much as 50 percent.
Be sure to talk with your teachers and your cafeteria staff to get them onside.
    Share your success.
  
Let your community know what you"ve accomplished.    4   Ask your teachers if you can talk to
their classes, let your parent group know what you"re doing, and present a report to the president of
your school.
      5

阅读理解     Wherever life takes you after A-level results day, it"s likely to bring increased independence. That
means it"s time to take care of yourself.
     Students, take note. When you arrive at university, make sure you register with a doctor near your
term-time address. If there is a university doctor at your institution, they will be your best choice. If not,
ask student services for a recommendation. Once registered, do everything you can to make sure you
never have to pay them a visit. Don"t take unnecessary health risks.
     Cook meat thoroughly. Throw food away if it"s out of date. Clean up after yourself. Food poisoning
can be harmful, but it"s easy to avoid if you pay due care and attention.
     University often brings a certain lifestyle, and while that"s usually a whole lot of fun, it can quickly tip
into a whole lot of sorrow. Know your limits when it comes to alcohol. Habitual drinking can be
dangerous, and while every student will have nights of excess, these should be the exception, not the
norm. Look out for your friends, too. If you"re worried about alcohol or substance abuse, visit
alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk <http://alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk> or ukna.org http://ukna.org
for free and confidential support.
     Anyone living with teenagers and young adults, especially in environments such as halls of residence,
must accept that germs (细菌) will be shared. Bugs and colds will spread like wildfire. Living
communally brings certain health risks, and meningitis is probably the most serious of these. Symptoms
include a rash, stiff neck and an aversion to bright lights. It"s rare, but seek immediate medical attention
if you"re concerned (meningitis.org <http://meningitis.org>).
     Gappers, meanwhile, may need to consider specific health risks. If you"re planning a trip abroad,
especially in rural areas of poor countries, make sure you get the necessary vaccinations (预防注射) in
good time before you leave.
     Research these at www.netdoctor.co.uk <http://www.netdoctor.co.uk>. You should be able to get everything you need from your doctor, although you may have to give them notice and you may have to pay, even on the NHS (英国国家医疗服务体系). If you also need to take medication while you"re away, such as anti-malarials, do it faithfully.
      On a general note, whoever you are, wherever you are and whatever you do with your time, never walk alone at night, especially in quiet and badly lit areas. Always carry your phone. Never get in an unlicensed cab. Be careful who you trust. Respect your new independence, and keep yourself safe.1.
