Adventure sports enthusiast (爱好者) Ajit Bajaj became the first Indian to ski to the North Pole. Bajaj completed his nine-day expedition (远征) from the Russian side of the Arctic with four skiers from the United States and one from Britain.

“He left India on April 14 for Norway. From there the team went to a Russian training camp and then they set off for the North Pole on skis,” his wife Shirley said. “They would ski for 10 to 11 hours a day and finally, at 4:15 am Indian time, my husband called me on satellite telephone to announce (通告) that the team had reached their destination on the North Pole.”

“It’s a very proud moment as he is the first Indian to successfully struggle against such a difficult test and reach the North Pole,” said Shirley, who operates an adventure sports club in India with her husband.

Bajaj, meanwhile, told India’s NDTV television by satellite phone that he had planted the Indian flag at the North Pole. “It was a very proud moment when I raised our national flag,” he said.

Bajaj, a downhill ski specialist, described the cold as “extreme”. “There is about a meter of ice on the surface (表面) and the lowest temperature has been -35℃, but with the very cold wind it can go down to about ?70℃ to -80℃. It’s very cold here.” In New Delhi, his wife felt unpleasantly hot with temperatures above 40℃.

There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging (包装)is the silent but persuading salesman.

There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer（消费者）, so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.

Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.

Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.

This new consumer response（反应）to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.

59. According to the passage, ______ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.
 A. the pleasing color of the package 

B. the special taste of the product
C. the strange shape of the package 

D. the belief in the product
60. If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ________.
  A. bring excitement to the consumers
  B. attract the consumers’ attention
  C. catch the eye movement of the consumers
  D. produce a happy and peaceful feeling
61. “And the word ‘green’ today can keep food prices going up.” This sentence suggests that consumers today are ________.
  A. starting to notice the importance of new food
  B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before
  C. beginning to like green vegetables
  D. paying more attention to their healthy
62. It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.
   A. vegetable dish       B. healthy juice 

C. iced drink           D. red vegetable

D

These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.

    Green building means “reducing the impact (影响) of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the U.S. Green Building Council in Washington, D.C., said. According to Holowka, building account for (占了) 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use.
   But green building can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.

    Marty Dettling is project manger for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent,”

    The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the sun’s energy into electricity,” Dettling explained.

    The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.

    Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It’s going to be big.”

63. In the second paragraph, the underlined words “the building” most probably refer to ____.
A. an ordinary building              B. an energy-saving building

C. a green-colored building              D. a building in Washington D.C.
64. A green building is often built on an area of land______.

A. which has thick forests around          
B. which has already been used for buildings

C. where people of high income live       

D. where traveling around by car is most convenient 

65. When Holowka says in the last paragraph, “It’s going to be big”, she means that green buildings_____.

A. will be more comfortable        

B. will become popular in future

C. will be more environmentally friendly     

D. will take the place of traditional building

66. What is the main subject discussed in the text?
   A. Dettling designed the first green building in the U.S.
   B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.
   C. Green building help save environment.
   D. The Solaire serves as a model of high building.

E

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?

Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats (栖息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.

Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species(物种), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布区). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.

The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.

Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖)of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?

Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.

67. In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.

A. remain in cages                B. behave strangely

C. attack other animals                  D. enjoy moving around

68. What does the author try to argue in the passage?

A. Zoos are not worth the public support.

B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.

C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.

D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.

69. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _____.

A. pointing out the faults in what zoos do

B. using evidence he has collected at zoos

C. questioning the way animals are protected

D. discussing the advantages of natural habitats

70. Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _______.

A. zoos have to keep animals in small cages

B. most animals in zoos are endangered species

C. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos

D. it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats

Dear headmaster,

I’m writing to tell you about a discussion we’ve had about whether students of Senior 3 should take physical exercise.

60% of the students think they should take exercise every day, such as doing morning exercises, playing ping-pong and basketball, but it shouldn’t take up too much time. Exercise builds one’s body and reduce diseases. Sports give the brains a chance to rest so that their revision will be more effective.

On the other hand, 30% believe taking exercise is a waste of time and energy. After having sports, they’re too tired and excited for a long time to pay attention to their lessons. It’s also possible to be hurt in sports.

In my opinion, students should take regular exercise to keep themselves strong and healthy so that they can deal with their lessons more efficiently.

                                                          Yours Sincerely,

                                                           Ma Xin
