13.Acid rain is a very serious environmental threat faced by our planet today.Millions of people get affected by it on a daily basis.This problem is more serious in the northern hemisphere (半球) where there's a huge growth in the number of industries.Winds absorb more and more quantities of harmful gases produced by various kinds of industries.Acid rain occurs when high levels of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide enter in the atmosphere and start chemical transformation.These harmful gases are absorbed by water droplets in the clouds and they fall on the earth during rains.They can damage the natural soil by increasing the acidity levels and pollute rivers and lakes.Dead and weakened trees are a very common sign of acid rain,while in cities worn off or scarred buildings are also a result of acid rain.
Acid rain is actually a broad term which is used to describe different types of acid that fall from the atmosphere on earth.It's mainly divided into wet and dry.Parts of the world which experience wet weather have acid rain,acid snow and fog.Other parts which experience dry weather for most of the year experience acid gas and acid dust.
One of the main causes of acid rain is a sudden drop in the pH levels of water and that happens because of absorption of harmful gases by the atmosphere.The best way to bring back the pH balance of water is to limit the use of items which run on petrol.Instead use products which run on electricity.
Another great thing that all people can do is to learn how to drive cars efficiently.To reduce smoke emission from cars,drivers should ease up as soon as the yellow light rather than slamming on the brakes and they shouldn't rush away as soon as the lights turn green.These small practices help reduce the wastage of petrol.
Limit the use of buses or cars for small things,people can also make use of cycles or walk to cover small distances.
Another great tip which almost all of us can practice is to always keep the vehicle tyres full of air,which will provide users with a better fuel economy.
Turn off your lights,computers and other appliances when not in use.
Learn about the different sources of energy besides fossil (化石) fuels and try to use them in daily life.Many nations like France and Germany are using electrical,nuclear,wind and solar energy on large basis.

解答 71.affects/influences,由第一段Millions of people get affected by it on a daily basis.可知酸雨这个问题影响着上百万的人们.  
72.from,由文中Winds absorb more and more quantities of harmful gases produced by various kinds of industries. 可知有害气体是来自于各种各样的工业. 
73.earth/ground,由句子These harmful gases are absorbed by water droplets in the clouds and they fall on the earth during rains. 可知吸收了有害气体的云层下雨时就把水滴降到土地上. 
74.pollution,由句子They can damage the natural soil by increasing the acidity levels and pollute rivers and lakes. 可知酸雨会破坏自然土地和污染河流,也就是造成水污染. 
75.kill/ruin/destroy,由句子Dead and weakened trees are a very common sign of acid rain,可知酸雨也会毁坏树木.
76.Types/Kinds/Sorts/Categories,由文章第二段可知酸雨包括了潮湿的和干燥的两个方面,因此这个小标题可以是酸雨的种类或类型,故答案为Types/Kinds/Sorts/Categories. 
77.efficient,由句子Another great thing that all people can do is to learn how to drive cars efficiently. 可知要有效地使用开车资源.  
78.nearby,由句子people can also make use of cycles or walk to cover small distances. 可知短距离的地方人们可以骑自行车或走路过去.   
79.using,由句子Turn off your lights,computers and other appliances when not in use. 可知当没有使用灯,电脑或其他应用时就关掉. 
80.replace,由最后一句Many nations like France and Germany are using electrical,nuclear,wind and solar energy on large basis.可知提倡使用其他能源来代替化石燃料.

点评 在做表格阅读时,首先需要快速的浏览全文,把握文章的主旨大意;其次要学会带着问题到文中相应的地方,通过细节阅读来寻找或概括答案;最后理清作者的写作思路也非常重要;做此类题时,要多注意一些关键词的提取,以及结构上的搭配.

16.Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong  (216)iimpression.Others try to (217)cconvey certain emotions.Poets use different forms of poetry to express themselves.For example,the language of nursery rhymes is (218)concrete(实在的) but imaginative,and they delight small children because they have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition.And list poems have a(219)flexible(灵活变化的) line length and repeated phrases which give both a (220)pattern(模式) and a rhythm to the poem.Another simple form of poem is the Cinquain,which is (221)made up of(由…组成) five lines and can express strong feelings in just a few words.And of course there are Tang poems from China which you may enjoy(222)in particular(特别).With so many different forms of poetry to choose from,students may (223)eeventually(最终) want to write poems of their own.

4.The fact that people are no longer tied to specific places for functions such as studying or learning,says William Mitchell,a professor of architecture and computer science at MIT,means that there is"a huge drop in demand for traditional,(51)C,enclosed spaces"such as offices or classrooms,and simultaneously"a huge rise in demand for semi-public spaces that can be informally appropriated to ad-hoc workspaces".This shift,he thinks,amounts to the biggest change in (52)Bin this century.In the 20th century architecture was about (53)Astructures-offices for working,cafeterias for eating,and so forth.This was necessary because workers needed to be near things such as landline phones,fax machines and filing cabinets.
The new architecture,says Mr Mitchell,will"make spaces intentionally(54)C".Architects are thinking about light,air,trees and gardens,all in the service of human connections.Buildings will have much more varied shapes than before(55)B,people working on laptops find it comforting to have their backs to a wall,so hybrid(混合的) spaces may become curvier,with more nooks(角落),in order to (56)Cthe surface area of their inner walls.
"This(57)Dis what separates successful spaces and cities from unsuccessful ones,"says Anthony Townsend,an urban planner at the Institute for the Future,a think-tank.Almost any public space can assume some of these features.For example,a not-for-profit organization in New York has(58)BBryant Park,a once abandoned but charming garden in front of the city's public library,into a hybrid space popular with office workers.The park's managers noticed that a lot of visitors were using mobile phones and laptops in the park,so they (59)AWi-Fi and added some chairs with foldable lecture desks.The idea was not to distract people from the flowers but to let them customize their little bit of the park.
The academic name for such spaces is"third places",a term originally coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his 1989 book,"The Great,Good Place".At the time,long before mobile technologies became widespread,Mr Oldenburg wanted to (60)Dbetween the sociological functions of people's first places (their homes),their second places (offices) and the public spaces that(61)Asafe,neutral and informal meeting points.As Mr Oldenburg saw it,a good third place makes admission free or cheap-the price of a cup of coffee,say-offers creature comforts,is within walking distance for a particular neighborhood and (62)Da group of regulars.
As more(63)Dplaces pop up and spread,they also change entire cities.Just as buildings during the 20th century were specialized by(64)A,towns were as well,says Mr Mitchell.Suburbs were for living,downtowns for (65)Band other areas for playing.But urban nomadism makes districts,like buildings,multifunctional.Parts of town that were monocultures,he says,gradually become"fine-grained mixed-use neighborhoods".

18.I wandered into the small store where I usually buy milk,when the store owner received a call from a customer.The customer and his wife had shopped there several months earlier.He noticed that his wife really liked one thing in the store,so he wanted to buy it as a surprise.
But the customer was in Tennessee,far away from the store which was in Maine.What's more,he had been to the store several months earlier,and it was difficult to believe that the store owner would remember him,or what he was looking for.
The store owner took a few close-up photos with her camera,and e-mailed them to the customer on the computer.The customer looked at the photos,decided which one he wanted.They talked and discussed a price over the phone.She took care of the credit card transaction(交易)online,and promised the gift would be shipped out that afternoon.
The store owner was really smart.She was willing to push herself to find new ways to make the transaction actually happen.And it did work.However,it was the first time she had ever done it.
I was amazed that the store owner discovered a creative solution that could lead to a new way of doing business.I was impressed by what she did---so easily,but how difficult it is for many of us to make that leap(飞跃,跳跃).I'm not just talking about technology,but about learning how to adapt to change.Most people hate or fear change unless they get to know exactly what change needs to be made.However,we should realize that challenge and opportunity go hand in hand.
21.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?B
A.The owner often did business by using her camera.
B.The customer had ever been to the store before
C.The owner and the customer discussed the price on the computer
D.The gift was sent out by train that afternoon
22.The author was impressed by the store owner becauseD.
A.she was always ready to help others
B.she told the writer how to run a store
C.she was a successful businesswoman
D.she managed to find a new way when facing change
23.What's the correct order of the store owner's solution?C
a.e-mailing the photos to the customer on the computer
b.taking care of the credit card transaction online
c.taking a few close-up photos with her camera
d.talking about the price of the gift with the customer
A.bcda                
B.abcd           
C.cadb          
D.cabd
24.Which of the following words can best describe the store owner?A
A.Creative              
B.Humorous      
C.Confident     
D.Honest.

14.The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important.Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview.They judge you by your appearance,attitude and manners.
A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important.A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.
When you introduce yourself,make eye contact with the interviewer.Some interviewers offer a handshake.Others don't.
Try to be as natural as possible.But pay attention to your body language.The way you sit,walk,gesture,use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language.It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in.Are you feeling positively about yourself?Your abilities?Your interest in the job?
Speak clearly and loudly enough.Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice.When you speak,look at the interviewer.Also,don't say negative things about yourself,or former employer.
Listen to questions carefully.If you don't understand a question,ask the interviewer to repeat or explain:"I'm sorry,but I didn't catch that.""I'm not sure exactly what you mean."
Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview.Interviewers know that.They don't expect you to be totally calm and relaxed.But they expect you to try to control your nervousness.They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.
At the end of the interview,thank the interviewer for her or his time.
It's a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview,or deliver it by hand.
Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week.Ask if they have made a decision about the job.
Good luck!

21.It can be inferred from the passage thatD.

C.employers understand and like employees'nervousness
D.the first impression is very important in an interview
22.Why should we pay attention to our body language?C
A.Because it is needed by our employer.
B.Because it can help us feel about the employer.
C.Because it can help us win the employer's positive impression.
