    Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the Earth.
    You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what a little we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “ accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
    At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（泄露的），which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It’s not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.
    Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
    Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
    With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.
    小题1:The underlined word “scrimping” in the third paragraph can be replaced by _____.
    A．savingB．cleaningC．cookingD．drinking
    小题2:From the fifth paragraph, we can know that ________.
    A．protecting the environment begins with small chores
    B．protecting the environment should start from childhood.
    C．wonderful life comes from environmental protection
    D．protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
    小题3:Which of the following isn’t true?
    A．The more people do their part, the greener the environment will be.
    B．Selling what you don’t want any more is a kind of recycling.
    C．To protect the environment may help you save some money.
    D．Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.
    小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
    A．The Use of Garbage Dustbin
    B．How to Save Water and Electricity
    C．How to Save the Environment
    D．Our Current Environmental Problems

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:D
    小题4:C

    试题分析：文章向大家介绍了一些如何保护环境的方法。我们生活的地球本应该更绿、更漂亮。但是，随着废水、废气的排放及乱扔垃圾，我们生活的环境出现了很多问题。我们应该尽力拯救地球。
    小题1:猜测词义题。根据“avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（泄露的），which would help greatly in scrimping.”可知，避免让水一直流，确保水龙头不漏水，这将大大的帮助节约（用水）。故选A。
    小题2:根据第五段“Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives,...”可知，第五段讲的是，保护环境要从孩子开始，把环保的意识和方法教给孩子们。故选B。
    小题3:根据第二段的“We should realize that what a little we do does count.”和最后一段的“As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.”可知，不能小看点点滴滴的小事，A项正确；根据第四段“Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process.”可知，许多废弃的东西可以通过加工过程变成有用的东西，B正确；根据第三段最后一句“It’s not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.”可知，节约用电不仅环保，也能节约电费，C正确；D“不好的习惯会对环境有所贡献”是不正确的表述。故选D。
    小题4:根据“big garbage dustbins in the streets...At home...Recycling...Pass the message of...on to kids...With environmental protection awareness in mind”可知，文章分段讲述了，把垃圾扔进垃圾桶；在家节约用电、用水；从教育孩子做起等方面来教大家如何保护环境。故选C。

    I give two examples as to why intelligent life may not actually exist, though I admit that for me, or even for a physicist who devoted his or her entire life to researching and studying the universe, it's shocking to claim that completely no life exists elsewhere.
    Keeping that in mind, I'd just like to consider conditions elsewhere in the known universe. You really only need to look at our own solar system or the Earth at certain periods in its own history to appreciate that most places are much worse and much less suitable for life than our mild, watery globe.
    So far, space scientists have discovered about seventy planets outside the solar. But it appears that if you wish to have a planet suitable for life, you just have to be very lucky, and the more advanced the life is, the luckier you'll have to be. I'm by no means a space observer, but I can recognize some particularly fortunate breaks we've had on the Earth. For example:
    We are, to a degree, at the right distance from the perfect type of star, the one that is big enough to radiate a huge amount of energy, but not so big as to bum itself out quickly. Had our sun been ten times as huge, it would have burnt out completely after only ten million years, instead of ten billion and surely we would not exist. Too near, everything on the Earth would have boiled and withered away; any further, everything would have frozen over.
    The universe is a surprising place, and our existence within it is a wonder. If a long and unimaginably complex sequence of events dating back 4.6 billion years or so hadn't happened in a particular manner at a particular time --if, to take just one example, the dinosaurs hadn't been wiped out by a meteor(流星)--we might still be a few centimeters long, with whisker(胡须) and a tail, and you'll be reading this in a cave somewhere.
    小题1:What's the best title for this passage?
    A．No Life Exists out of the Earth
    B．Seventy Planets Discovered
    C．A Place Full of Wonders
    D．Perfect Conditions for Life
    小题2:What makes the Earth more suitable for life than other planets in the solar system?
    A．The Earth is the only planet that can receive energy from the sun.
    B．The sun is at the right distance from us and in proper size.
    C．The distance between the planets was neither too long nor too near.
    D．The dinosaurs were no longer a threat to the Earth.
    小题3:What does the underlined phrase "withered away" in the 4th paragraph mean?
    A．Exploded.B．Expanded.C．Floated away.D．Dried and died.
    小题4:Where does the text probably come from?
    A．A history book.B．A magazine.C．A science fiction.D．A famous novel.

    Many people in the world live in big cities, which are often dirty and difficult places to live. So, some cities will get bigger. They will also get higher, and lower, because people will begin to live under the ground as well as in tall buildings. Scientists also say that men can begin to live in cities under the sea, when there is not enough space on the land. Of course, these new cities will be very expensive, and difficult to build, but they are not impossible. Already, some countries are building places to live under the ground so their people can go there if there is a new war. There are underground cities in Switzerland（瑞士）and China, built by the government（政府）to help some of the people live during a great war. 
    But will people change if they live under the ground for a long time？For example some fish go blind if they live in the dark sea for a long time. People will not go blind, because there will be light underground, but they may change in some way. Scientists say that people who live in cities today are losing their senses of smell, touch and taste. They can’t smell the dirty air, they can’t taste the chemicals（化学制剂）in their food. These senses are not as strong as before, when people lived in the country and grew their own food. The city has changed that. What will the underground city change in everyone？
    小题1:People will live under the ground because _________． 
    A．it’s neither hot nor cold there

    小题2:Some countries try to build some places under the ground so that people will be able to live there _____．
    A．when summer comes
    B．when a war breaks out
    C．because they think it’ll be safer for them
    D．when they’re fed up with the life on the land
    小题3:_________, so people who will live there won’t go blind． 
    A．There’ll be enough light under the ground
    B．It’ll be easy to go upstairs
    C．Glasses will be sold under the ground
    D．Medicine will be supplied for free

    After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
    　　There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
    　　Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
    　　If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!
    小题1:A good title for this passage is ____.
    A．SleepB．DreamsC．Good HealthD．Work and Rest

    Passage 1
    The information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services; the Web, e-mail, and software, to mention just a few. Not long ago, the information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowed road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of course, there’s Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But don’t trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.

    GCSEs not fit for purpose
    GCSEs（General Certificate of Secondary Education，普通中等教育证书）encourage "teaching to the test" and may be past their sell-by date, according to Britain's leading business organization. The Confederation of British Industry（CBI） warns that the qualification is stopping teachers delivering an "inspirational classroom experience" and should be replaced.
    John Cridland, the CBI director general, said industry faced a shortage of key skills, particularly in science and maths. The CBI（英国工业联合会）, which represents more than 240,000 companies, is also concerned about the 40% of young people who fail to achieve the benchmark of five good GCSE passes including English and maths. The percentage of pupils who reach this standard is the main measure of school success.
    Speaking at the launch of a CBI inquiry into education, Cridland argued that abandoning GCSEs could help deliver a full education. "There's something about this GCSE limitation which produces a form of learning ------ teaching for the test.’’
    "It frustrates teachers because it stops them delivering that inspirational classroom experience."
    The CBI head suggested that raising the school leaving age to 18 – a change that comes into effect in 2015 – is an opportunity to reform the system. "It seems to me that we've raised the participation age to 18 and we're left with an education system that focuses on 16," said Cridland. More than 600,000 children in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are due to take GCSEs this summer.
    Many other countries do without a public exam at 16. Finland, the highest performing school system in Europe, has just one public exam, at 18, though children are regularly tested at younger ages.
    小题1:What does the author intend to tell us in paragragh1？
    A．“Teaching to the test” should be encouraged.
    B．We should stop teachers delivering “inspirational experience”.
    C．The current qualification is out of date and should be replaced.
    D．The Confederation of British Industry should be replaced.
    小题2:What’s the main idea of the passage？
    A．The British GCSEs are no longer practical and should be reformed.
    B．In the GCSEs system , teachers don’t have freedom.
    C．Five good GCSEs is hard to achieve.
    D．The British Education Department will reform education system.
    小题3:The meaning of the underlined word “benchmark” in paragraph 2 may be ______.
    A．successB．targetC．standardD．excellent grades
    小题4:Where can we find this article?
    A．TV seriesB．radio news
    C．newspaper education sectionD．government report

    As a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the USA and Canada, is now without many living things.
    Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms (生物体) to be affected are either plants or plankton (浮游生物). These organisms are the food of fish, birds, and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river’s edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening.
    Where do the substances which pollute water come from? There are two main sources, sewage(污水) and industrial waste. As more detergent (洗涤剂)is used in homes, more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas.  Detergents harm water birds by breaking down the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are many highly poisonous materials in it, such as copper and lead.
    So if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple. Sewage and industrial waste must be made clean before flowing into the water reservoirs. It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.
    小题1:Pollution in water is noticed ________.
    A．when the first organisms are affected
    B．when many fish and birds die
    C．when poisons are poured into water
    D．As soon as the balance of nature is destroyed
    小题2:Living things die in a lake or river because there is no ________.
    A．waterB．fishC．PoisonD．oxygen
    小题3:The underlined word “waterproof” in the third paragraph means “         ”.
    A．full of waterB．not allowing water to go through
    C．covered with waterD．cleaned by water
    小题4:Which of the following things is /are harmful according to the passage？
    A．Industrial waste and chemicalsB．Water in the river
    C．Coal and woodD．plastic

    Pollutants coming from automobile operation have begun to cause many environmental problems. It has been calculated, for example, that 70% of the carbon monoxide(一氧化碳), 45% of the nitrogen oxides(氮氧化合物), and 34% of the hydrocarbon (碳氢化合物) pollution in the United States can be traced directly to automobile exhausts (废气). In addition, rubber, motor oil and other materials accumulate on roadways and are washed into streams, with effects nearly as serious as those of untreated waste water.
    In an effort to improve the situation, the U.S. government has made regulations on the use of the constituents (成分) of automobile exhaust gas that are known to cause air pollution. These constituents fall roughly into three types: hydrocarbons that pass through the engine unburned; carbon monoxide, also a product of incomplete burning; and nitrogen oxides which are formed when nitrogen and oxygen are in contact at high temperatures. Besides their own poisonous character, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides react in the presence of sunlight to form harmful smog. Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are rather easily controlled by the use of higher burning temperatures in engines. Unfortunately, the conditions that produce minimum emission of hydrocarbons tend to raise emission of nitrogen oxides. In a way this difficulty is solved by adding recycled exhaust gas to the fuel mixture, thus avoiding the oversupply of oxygen that favors formation of nitrogen oxides.
    California, which has the most strict air-pollution laws in the United States, requires further special compounding of gas to control emissions, and several states have ordered that alcohol be mixed with gas, as this will reduce emissions of the carbon monoxide by 35 per cent and the hydrocarbons by 15 per cent.
    小题1:The author uses figures in Paragraph 1 ________.
    A．to reflect the rapid growth of automobile use
    B．to highlight the importance of environment protection
    C．to show the consequence of automobile exhausts
    D．to criticize the low quality of cars
    小题2:How are nitrogen oxides formed according to the text?
    A．Nitrogen and oxygen are put together in great heat.
    B．Carbon monoxide and oxygen are mixed together.
    C．Hydrocarbons pass through the engine.
    D．Nitrogen is burned incompletely.
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
    A．Carbon monoxide can be controlled in the engine.
    B．Smog will form when hydrocarbons meet nitrogen oxides in the sunlight.
    C．Hydrocarbons have no poisonous character themselves.
    D．The conditions that decease emission of hydrocarbons will increase emission of nitrogen oxides.
    小题4:According to the text, alcohol is added to gas in order to ______.
    A．increase awareness of environment protection
    B．control air pollution
    C．increase the fuel efficiency
    D．replace gas gradually
