阅读理解。     My family and I lived across the street from Southway Park since I was four years old. Then just last year
they city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing (用推土机推平) the trees and grass to
make way for a new apartment complex. When I saw the fence and bulldozers, I asked myself, "Why don"t
they just leave it alone?"
     Looking back, I think what sentenced the part to oblivion (别遗忘) was the drought (旱灾) we had about
four years ago. Up until then, Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming
pool. My friends and I roller-skated on the sidewalks, climbed the tress, and swam in the pool all the years I
was growing up. The park was almost like my own yard. Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and
things changed.
     There had been almost no rain at all that year. The city stopped watering the park grass. Within a few weeks
I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert. Leaves fell off the park tress, and pretty soon
the trees started dying, too. Next, the park swimming pool was closed. The city cut down on the work force
that kept the park, and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.
    As the drought lasted into the fall, the park got worse every month. The rubbish piled up or blew across the
brown grass. Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck. People said
drugs were being sold or traded there now. The park had gotten scary, and my mother told us kids not to go
there anymore. The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal, that is, everything but the
park. It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way. Then about six months ago I heard
that the city was going to "redevelop" certain worn-out areas of the city. It turned out that the city had planned
to get rid of the park, sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it.
     The chain-link fencing and the bulldozers did their work. Now we live across the street from six rows of
apartment buildings. Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction. The neighborhood
has changed without the park. The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now. Things will never be the
same again. Sometimes I wonder, though, what changes another drought would make in the way things
are today. 1. How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers? A. Scared.
B. Confused.
C. Upset.
D. Curious.2. Why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother? A. It was being rebuilt.
B. It was dangerous.
C. It because crowded.
D. It had turned into a desert. 3. According to the writer, what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park? A. The drought.
B. The crime.
C. The beggars and the rubbish.
D. The decisions of the city. 4. The last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came, _____. A. the situation would be much worse
B. people would have to desert their homes
C. the city would be fully prepared in advance
D. the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood

阅读理解。     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 decades has seen more and more forests disappearing
and 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 proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the
global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for
example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global
energy revolution. It is now tryuing 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 by 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 expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can
accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.

limits if this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product
industries. 1. The traditional business model is humful because of all the following EXCEPT that _____. A. It makes the world warmer

阅读理解。     Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word "diet"
everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet
products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for
products that harm us psychologically and physically (身体上).
     Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain
to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption
of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go
straight for the scale (秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word"diet" in food
labels.
     On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie
drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don"t have to work to get results. Diet
products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and
struggle.
     The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the
physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead
of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods
and diet pills contain zero calories only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these
wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are
potentially dangerous.
     Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about
buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this,
we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes
from using them. 1. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _____. A. diet products fail to bring out people"s potential
B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C. diet products are misleading people
D. people are fed up with diet products 2. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____. A. try out a variety of diet foods
B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. pay attention to their own eating habits
D. watch their weight rather than their diet 3. In Paragraph 3, "gain comes without pain" probably means _____. A. losing weight is effortless
B. it costs a lot to lose weight
C. diet products bring no pain
D. diet products are free from calories 4. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _____. A. are over-consumed
B. lack basic nutrients
C. are short of chemicals
D. provide too much energy 5. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A.

阅读理解。     The global energy crisis is approaching. What can we do? Here are some steps you can take.
     Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid (电网). Just as a tune-up
for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up your heating and cooling system can improve
efficiency and comfort. Clean or replace filters monthly or as needed.
     For central air conditioning systems and room sir conditioners, look for the ENERGY STAR, the federal
government"s symbol for energy efficiency. For central air, purchase the system with the highest possible
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER).
     Use energy-efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning Ceiling fans do a great job of
circulating air. When used with air conditioning, fans allow you to raise the thermostat (恒温器) and cut
costs. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms, so before you leave, turn off the ceiling fan.
     Let a programmable thermostat "remember for you" to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your
daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come home to a comfortable
house without wasting energy and cresting pollution all day while you are at work.
    Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort, make your home quieter and cleaner
and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent.
     Cut your air conditioning load, and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixing
reflective bricks on your roof.
     Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing windows during the day, or fix shading equipment to
avoid beat build-up.
     Turn off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers. And use fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯), which provide
bright, warm light while using at least two-thirds less energy, producing 70 percent Jess beat and lasting up
to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs (白炽灯).
     Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you
drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one
that gets 30 mpg will save you more than $65 per year.
     Carpool. The average U.S. commutes (乘车上班族) could save about $260 a year by sharing cars twice
a week with two other people in a car that gets 20.1 mpg-assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas. 1. According to the passage, the thermostat is used to _____. A. make rooms quieter
B. control room temperature
C. turn off the air conditioner
D. reduce room air pollution 2. We can conclude from the passage that the author probably discourages _____. A. planting leafy trees around your home
B. turning off the ceiling fan before you leave your house
C. keeping your south-facing windows open during the day
D. using fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs 3. According to the passage, you can save fuel by _____. A. using energy-efficient ceiling fans
B. sharing cars with others on workdays
C. turning off everything not in use
D. reducing 10% of your car trips every year4. This passage is mainly about _____. A. energy-saving tips
