A
Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away．If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper．One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though there turn often comes in all unexpected form．One Sunday morning, the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later, I needed a post—office box for anew business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list．As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway．He had overheard(无意中听到)our conversation．“Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said “yes.” “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints. ’’

A United Nations representative wants international support for programs aimed at helping 28million boys and girls return to school. The children are unable to continue their education because of wars and crises around the world.
Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says schools were once safe places for children. Now, he says, they are increasingly becoming instruments of war. In the past five years, there were more than 10,000 attacks on schools.
Mr. Brown told the United Nations recently that the international community should spend money on schools safety. He proposed creation of an international humanitarian fund for education in emergencies.
“It is our moral duty to make sure that every single child in the world can enjoy the basic right to education—free of terror, free of fear, and with the support of the international community.” Mr. Brown is thinking about new uses of technology to improve school safety. A pilot program has been launched in Pakistan. Three months ago, 140 children killed were at a school in the city of Peshawar.
Pakistani officials are now working with Predictify Me, a technology company based in the
United States. Under the “Pakistan Safe Schools” program, schools will use new computers of tw are to test their safety plans. The results of the testing will help school officials prepare schools.
Mr. Brown said it is time for the international community to wake up and deal with the problems facing children. He said the world should protect their rights and stop turning its back on these young victims of war.
25. Which of the following is NOT a cause of children being unable to receive education in the passage?
A. Wars B. Crises C. Attack on schools D. Poverty
26. According to Mr. Brown, what kind of measures should the international community take tomake school safer?

C. He said the international community should send students to different schools.
D. He proposed “double shift” plan.
27. The underlined part in the last paragraph means _________.

28. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Mr. Brown proposes creation of an international humanitarian fund for education emergencies.

C. A UN representative wants international support for programs helping children’ continuous education.
D. Mr. Brown is working with the Lebanese government on a “double shift” plan.

This is the holiday season in the United States. People are buying gifts and carrying them home, usually in plastic shopping bags. They are only a small amount of the huge number of disposable plastic bags that are used all year long to contain groceries and other items.
Janet Larsen, director of the Earth Policy Institute in Washington, D.C., says too many plastic bags end up as litter, polluting waterways. “They get caught in bushes and trees. In storm water systems, they end up blocking pipes.”
In an effort to keep plastic bags out of the environment, California recently became the first state to ban businesses from giving new plastic bags to customers. Some other states and cities charge a small amount of money for every bag to encourage people to bring their own bags when shopping.
Mark Daniels is senior vice president for environmental policy at Hilex Poly, one of the country’s largest plastic bag manufacturers and recyclers. He says people should be able to get new plastic bags without paying. Mr. Daniels says it is a good environmental choice. “Every single scientific litter study that has been done always shows that plastic retail(零售) bags are a fraction of one percent.”
Some environmentalists claim that plastic bags are blocking landfills. However, Mark Daniels points to a study by the Environmental Protection Agency that is not always true.
“All plastic bags, not just retail bags, are 4/10ths of one percent the waste stream.
Five years ago, Washington D.C. placed a 5-cent fee on every plastic bag given out by businesses in the city. The money is being used to clean up the local Anacostia watershed. And the effort is making a difference. Brian Van Wye heads storm water program implementation at the city’s Department of the Environment. He says once people started to pay for plastic bags, they used less of them. Fewer bags ended up in the waterways.
29. Who is against paying for plastic bags?
A. Janet Larsen. B. Mark Daniels.
C. Brian Van Wye. D. Bill Ford.
30. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Pay for Plastic Bags
B. Keep Plastic Bags out of the Environment
C. Plastic Bags Should Be Banned
D. Plastic Bags: To Ban or Not to Ban?
31. It can be learned from the last paragraph that ______.
A. it is stupid to place a 5-cent fee on every plastic bag
B. placing a 5-cent fee on every plastic bag is beneficial
C. more bags ended up in the waterway
D. efforts made no difference
D
If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4, 000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write .However, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past by hearing about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been done by generations because most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ‘remembered history’. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful．
32. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?
A．“Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.
B．Written records of the past play the most important role in learning of history.
C．A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.
D．Where there are no written records, there is no history.
33．We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ________.
A. the people there did not know how to write
B . the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record
C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire
D. nothing was worth writing down at that time
34．“Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when _______.
A. it is written down B. no written account is available
C. it proves to be true D. people are interested in it
35 .The passage suggests that more could have been learned about our past if the ancient people had ______.
A. kept a written record of every past event
B. not burnt their written records in wars
C. told exact stories of the most important happenings
D. made more songs and dances

Walking through the park one day, I passed some children selling hot chocolate. One girl asked, “Would you like to help support our park? It’s only 50 cents a cup.” Of course, I couldn’t help being extraordinarily 41 that kids showed great interest in 42 their community.

It also reassures them that help would be 50 if they were ever in danger.

Good morning, everyone!
The topic of my speech today is “Thoughts on becoming a grown-up.”
As a child, I always hoped that I could grow up as soon as possible so that I could have whatever I wanted and do whatever I liked. Now I’m a grownup, but I find things do not go as I expected. Although I can enjoy more freedom, at the same time I realize that being a grownup not only means this, but also more responsibilities. I hope to do more for my parents and society in the future to make my life more meaningful. To reach the goal, I must first try my best to pass the college entrance examination and enter a good university.
Thank you for your listening.
