Traveling by train can be a romantic way to see the world. Here are some fantastic train trips to add to your travel bucket list.
Qinghai-Tibet Railway
Where it goes: Xining to Lhasa
How long it takes: 20 hours and 55 minutes
Why not start with the world’s highest train ride? The gorgeous 1,215-mile journey only makes seven stops as it passes through four different biological community.

Eurostar

How long it takes: Two hours and 15 minutes
Eurostar is a popular way for folks to get from London to Paris, but it has another draw that makes it a great bucket-list train trip.

Orient Express
Where it goes: Paris to Istanbul ( original route)
The Orient Express is one of the most famous train journeys in history, with movies and murder- mystery novels undoubtedly adding to its mystery and fascination. You can still ride its original route — all of which is included in a Eurail Global Pass.

How long it takes: Seven days
The Trans-Siberian Railway is another historically famous railroad that should be on your bucket list.

It was a cold night in Washington, D. C. , and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the signs: “Don’t give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers.” So I shook my head and kept walking.
I wasn’t prepared for a reply, but with no hesitation, he followed me and said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.
The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn’t been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being.
Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn’t help thinking of him. I tried to reason my failure to help by supposing government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you’re not supposed to give money to beggars.
Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean’s Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Bean’s? Plant a row for Bean’s. It’s clean and simple.
We didn’t keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. It’s food for the spirit and comfort for my conscience(良知).
In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program, Plant a Row for Bean’s became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry, which brought the program to national attention.
As more and more people participated, new variations cropped up. Many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the program. Donations poured in. It was then that I could really stop feeling guilty.
24. The underlined word “swindlers” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. policemen B. writers C. cheaters D. beggars
25. Why did the author think he assumed the worst of a fellow human being?
A. Because he didn’t show fair respect to a beggar treating him badly.
B. Because he could have helped a hungry man but he passed by.
C. Because he believed that no people begged because of real hunger.
D. Because he thought that charity work was the government’s duty.
26. How did the author make up for what he had done?
A. He set up a local kitchen to help the poor.
B. He planted a row of vegetables for charity.
C. He called on people to donate money to the Bean’s.
D. He started the idea of Plant a row for Bean’s.
27. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The beggar gave up the first time he was turned down by the author.
B. The author invented the program inspired by the Anchorage Daily News.
C. GWAA expanded the program concept and made it nationwide in 1995.
D. The program was later taken over by some seeding companies.
C
We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But, the fact is that it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution? It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies, it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night. Needless to mention, bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt, wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm (节奏). It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So, it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this, the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, coal or gas is used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle, some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example, while installing (安装) outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
28. What can we learn about light pollution?
A. It has little effect on plants.
B. It contributes to most cancers.
C. It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D. It affects animals’ behavior during the day.
29. Why does light pollution affect the climate?
A. It increases the temperature at night.
B. It creates clouds in parts of the Earth.
C. It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D. It is related to the burning of coal and gas.
30. How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution?
A. Forbid the use of outdoor lighting.
B. Use clean energy to produce electricity.
C. Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D. Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.
B. Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C. There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
D. Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.
D
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be good at new technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”
Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
32. Many parents teach themselves social networks because ________.
A. they are not content with their daily life
B. they regard social networks important
C. they are curious to explore new technologies
D. they want to view their children’s online activities
33. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request?
A. They can’t choose friends around them. B. They have nothing to hide.
C. They don’t want to teach their parents. D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so.
34. A recent survey suggested that ________.
A. teens value their privacy and independence
B. a teen’s rejection means they have something to hide
C. a teen’s rejection means nothing special
D. independence is everything teens desire
35. What is most likely to be talked about next?
A. How to bridge the generation gap.
B. How to make friends on social networks.
C. How to explain to parents about the rejection.
D. How to use the social networking sites.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy hank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years, I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The next morning, I took out my piggy bank and shook it. __________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Hearing the noise, my grandfather came over. ____________________________________

33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.(如今，许多人被社交网站所吸引，因为他们可以选择身边的人；我们还可以在一定程度上控制我们在现实生活中得不到的隐私。有时，当我们必须接受来自父母或家庭成员的“好友”请求时，我们会觉得隐私受到了侵犯)”可知，青少年拒绝父母请求的原因是他们的隐私就不能得到保障。故选D。
34. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”(最近的一项调查表明，如果他们的孩子无视他们的请求，父母不应该把它放在心上。“当青少年无视父母的朋友请求时，不一定意味着他们在隐瞒什么，但可能意味着这是他们生活中的一个部分，他们想发挥自己的独立性。”)”可推知，最近的一项调查表明，青少年重视他们的隐私和独立。故选A。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.(也许当你选择不把父母列入好友名单时，与他们交谈并给出解释会有助于减轻他们受到的打击)”可推知，接下来最有可能讨论的话题是如何向父母解释被拒绝的原因。故选C。
【答案与解析】本文介绍了去意大利旅游需要知道的事，包括意大利没有典型的意大利美食，而是体现在各地特色中；现金在意大利的重要性；意大利服务员在送上美食后离开并非是粗鲁；以及空荡荡的意大利餐馆并不意味着食物不好吃，而是意大利人吃饭很晚等。

Should Music Be Played During the Class Break?
Yesterday we had a heated discussion about whether music should be played during the class break or not. As for this, opinions were divided into two parts.
Most of the students argued that music should be played for it can produce better efficiency and greater relaxation as well as a lively and happy study environment. However, some held a different view that they can’t get the expected effect from playing music during a short period. What is needed most during the class break is peace rather than the noise produced by music.
As far as I’m concerned, we should choose the right kind of music and it’s better to play soft music, which is suitable for us middle school students.
【答案】
The next morning, I took out my piggy bank and shook it. “There should be a lot of money in it. This is years of my savings,” I said to myself. I was about to break it and withdraw money when my mind came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. However, thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the piggy bank broke into pieces and the coins rolled all over the floor.
Hearing the noise, my grandfather came over. I explained to him what had happened. Having known my thought, he fondly touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you.” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now.” “Thank you, Grandpa,” I was overwhelmed with happiness. From that day on, you would always see me riding my bike on the street, leaving my hearty laughter behind.

Qinghai-Tibet Railway

How long it takes: 20 hours and 55 minutes

Eurostar is a popular way for folks to get from London to Paris, but it has another draw that makes it a great bucket-list train trip.

How long it takes: Seven days
The Trans-Siberian Railway is another historically famous railroad that should be on your bucket list.

It was a cold night in Washington, D. C. , and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the signs: “Don’t give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers.” So I shook my head and kept walking.
I wasn’t prepared for a reply, but with no hesitation, he followed me and said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.
The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn’t been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being.
Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn’t help thinking of him. I tried to reason my failure to help by supposing government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you’re not supposed to give money to beggars.
Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean’s Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Bean’s? Plant a row for Bean’s. It’s clean and simple.
We didn’t keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. It’s food for the spirit and comfort for my conscience(良知).
In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program, Plant a Row for Bean’s became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry, which brought the program to national attention.
As more and more people participated, new variations cropped up. Many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the program. Donations poured in. It was then that I could really stop feeling guilty.
24. The underlined word “swindlers” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. policemen B. writers C. cheaters D. beggars
25. Why did the author think he assumed the worst of a fellow human being?
A. Because he didn’t show fair respect to a beggar treating him badly.
B. Because he could have helped a hungry man but he passed by.
C. Because he believed that no people begged because of real hunger.
D. Because he thought that charity work was the government’s duty.
26. How did the author make up for what he had done?
A. He set up a local kitchen to help the poor.
B. He planted a row of vegetables for charity.
C. He called on people to donate money to the Bean’s.
D. He started the idea of Plant a row for Bean’s.
27. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The beggar gave up the first time he was turned down by the author.
B. The author invented the program inspired by the Anchorage Daily News.
C. GWAA expanded the program concept and made it nationwide in 1995.
D. The program was later taken over by some seeding companies.
C
We all have an idea about the common types of environmental problems. However, light pollution may be a new term to many of us. But, the fact is that it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.
What is light pollution? It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.
Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies, it is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night. Needless to mention, bright light at night makes it difficult for these animals to hunt, wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm (节奏). It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So, it’s nothing less than a threat to human health.
You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this, the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, coal or gas is used for producing electricity.
While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products are part of our modern lifestyle, some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example, while installing (安装) outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.
28. What can we learn about light pollution?
A. It has little effect on plants.
B. It contributes to most cancers.
C. It is a negative fruit of light technology.
D. It affects animals’ behavior during the day.
29. Why does light pollution affect the climate?
A. It increases the temperature at night.
B. It creates clouds in parts of the Earth.
C. It stops the release of greenhouse gases.
D. It is related to the burning of coal and gas.
30. How can we contribute our part in reducing light pollution?
A. Forbid the use of outdoor lighting.
B. Use clean energy to produce electricity.
C. Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.
D. Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.
B. Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.
C. There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.
D. Light pollution needs to be dealt with urgently.
D
We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be good at new technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”
Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
32. Many parents teach themselves social networks because ________.
A. they are not content with their daily life
B. they regard social networks important
C. they are curious to explore new technologies
D. they want to view their children’s online activities
33. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request?
A. They can’t choose friends around them. B. They have nothing to hide.
C. They don’t want to teach their parents. D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so.
34. A recent survey suggested that ________.
A. teens value their privacy and independence
B. a teen’s rejection means they have something to hide
C. a teen’s rejection means nothing special
D. independence is everything teens desire
35. What is most likely to be talked about next?
A. How to bridge the generation gap.
B. How to make friends on social networks.
C. How to explain to parents about the rejection.
D. How to use the social networking sites.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get the money was to break the piggy hank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea. And he added. “The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.” He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised sincerely, “I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”
Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy hank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful presents, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away. So for almost three years, I had only put money into the piggy hank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy hank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces. I was sleepless that night. Staring at my piggy bank. I was thinking about what I could do with it.

【分析】本文是应用文。文章介绍了四条火车之旅路线。
【详解】21.细节理解题。根据Qinghai-Tibet Railway部分中的“Why not start with the world’s highest train ride? ”(为什么不从世界上最高的火车之旅开始呢？)可知，青藏铁路是世界上海拔最高的火车路线。故选A。
22.细节理解题。根据Eurostar部分中的“For 20 minutes, you’ll actually be riding 150 feet underwater through the famed English Channel.”(20分钟内，你将在水下150英尺，穿过著名的英吉利海峡。)可知，Eurostar旅程的最特别之处是你将在水下150英尺穿过著名的英吉利海峡。故选B。

24. C 25. B 26. D 27. C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在一次拒绝一个乞讨者的请求后，内心难安，非常愧疚。利用自己在报社的工作，写了一篇专栏鼓励所有读者在自家花园里种植一排豆子，去帮助那些挨饿的邻居。
24. 词义猜测题。根据第一段“I’d read the signs: “Don’t give money to beggars as most of them are swindlers（我看到标语上写着:“不要给乞丐钱，因为他们大多数都是swindlers）”可知，作者径直走开没有帮助那个乞讨者，因为认为他们是骗子。cheaters是近义词。故选C。
25. 推理判断题。根据第一段“So I shook my head and kept walking.（于是我摇了摇头，继续往前走。）”以及第三段“The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn’t been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being.（这个星期剩下的时间里，这件事一直困扰着我。我口袋里有钱，即使他不是一个真正的乞丐，给他一两美元也不会要我的命。在一个寒冷的夜晚，我把一个人往最坏的方面想。）”可知，作者认为他假设了一个人类同伴最坏的一面是因为他本可以帮助一个饥饿的人，但他却走开了。故选B。
26. 推理判断题。根据第五段“Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean’s Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens for Bean’s? Plant a row for Bean’s. It’s clean and simple. （突然间，我想到了一个主意。Bean ’s Cafe是当地一家慈善服务厨房，每天为数百名饥饿的当地人提供食物。为什么不试着让我所有的读者在他们的花园里为Bean种植一排蔬菜或鲜花呢?种一排豆子。它干净而简单。）”可知，作者提出了“为豆子种植一排”的想法来弥补他所做的事。故选D。
27. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program, Plant a Row for Bean’s became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry, which brought the program to national attention.（1995年4月，美国园艺作家协会(GWAA)在安克雷奇召开了年度会议，在学习了我们的项目后，“为豆子种一排”变成了“为饥饿者种一排”。当时的想法是让每个成员都写或谈论为饥饿的人种植一排，这使该计划引起了全国的关注。）”可知，1995年，GWAA扩大了该计划的概念，并将其推广到全国。故选C。
【答案与解析】本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了光污染的定义、造成的危害及防治建议等。
28.细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“ It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting. car headlights. station lights. streetlights and many more.(它展示了各种形式的误用人造光。造成光污染的明显原因是户外照明产品使用不当。它可以是办公室照明，汽车大灯，车站灯，街灯等等)”可知，光污染是滥用各种人造光源而形成的，可以说是光技术的坏影响，故选C。
29.细节理解题。根据文章第四段关键句“It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all. coal or gas is used for producing electricity.(它还会导致温室气体的释放和全球变暖。毕竟，煤或天然气是用来发电的)”可知，光需要电，而电是烧煤或煤气发出来的。因此，从这个角度来说光污染会引起全球变暖，故选D。
30.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句“Also. use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices.(此外，只使用家庭和办公室所需的照明设备)”可知，在家里和办公室里只用必需的照明产品便可减少光污染，即避免不必要的照明，故选C。
31.推理判断题。根据文章最后两句“Believe it or not. many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let’s contribute our part in reducing the pollution.(信不信由你，许多生活在城市地区的人在晚上看不到晴朗的天空和星星。让我们为减少污染贡献自己的一份力量)”可知， 光污染非常严重，该问题有待紧急解决，故选D。
32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。现在很多父母进入社交网站，希望加孩子为好友，针对这一要求作者告诉了一些观点。 孩子往往拒绝这一要求，因为他们不想自己的一举一动被父母注视，他们想独立。同时作者也嘱咐孩子如果不加父母好友也要和父母多交谈。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.(然而，越来越多的父母开始意识到社交网络在他们生活中的重要性。这种认识使许多父母有动力自学社交网站)”可知，许多家长自学社交网络，因为他们认为社交网络很重要。故选B。
33. 细节理解题。根据第三段“These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.(如今，许多人被社交网站所吸引，因为他们可以选择身边的人；我们还可以在一定程度上控制我们在现实生活中得不到的隐私。有时，当我们必须接受来自父母或家庭成员的“好友”请求时，我们会觉得隐私受到了侵犯)”可知，青少年拒绝父母请求的原因是他们的隐私就不能得到保障。故选D。
34. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”(最近的一项调查表明，如果他们的孩子无视他们的请求，父母不应该把它放在心上。“当青少年无视父母的朋友请求时，不一定意味着他们在隐瞒什么，但可能意味着这是他们生活中的一个部分，他们想发挥自己的独立性。”)”可推知，最近的一项调查表明，青少年重视他们的隐私和独立。故选A。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.(也许当你选择不把父母列入好友名单时，与他们交谈并给出解释会有助于减轻他们受到的打击)”可推知，接下来最有可能讨论的话题是如何向父母解释被拒绝的原因。故选C。
【答案与解析】本文介绍了去意大利旅游需要知道的事，包括意大利没有典型的意大利美食，而是体现在各地特色中；现金在意大利的重要性；意大利服务员在送上美食后离开并非是粗鲁；以及空荡荡的意大利餐馆并不意味着食物不好吃，而是意大利人吃饭很晚等。
36. 根据第一段“There are a few things that you should know before you step out of the airport.”“在你踏出机场前，你要知道这几件事”可知，上文应是去意大利旅游，故选E。
37. 根据第三段“In Italy each area has its own personality,its own dialect,and its own food.”“在意大利，每个区域都有各自的特色，各自的方言，以及各自的美食”可知，意大利美食并非人们通常想象的，故选G。
38. 根据第五段的描述可知，意大利人买东西用现金而非信用卡，所以前面标题应该是说现金的重要性，故选A。
39. 根据第七段“This is not the waiter being rude.”“这并不是服务员无礼”可知，下一句应是解释服务员这样做的原因，是为了让顾客随心所欲地享受美食，故选F。
40. 根据最后一段中的“The dinner hour in many cities doesn't start until at least 8 pm.”“很多城市的晚饭直到晚上8点才开始”可知，前面应该是说意大利人吃饭的时间晚，故选C。

Should Music Be Played During the Class Break?
Yesterday we had a heated discussion about whether music should be played during the class break or not. As for this, opinions were divided into two parts.
Most of the students argued that music should be played for it can produce better efficiency and greater relaxation as well as a lively and happy study environment. However, some held a different view that they can’t get the expected effect from playing music during a short period. What is needed most during the class break is peace rather than the noise produced by music.
As far as I’m concerned, we should choose the right kind of music and it’s better to play soft music, which is suitable for us middle school students.
【答案】
The next morning, I took out my piggy bank and shook it. “There should be a lot of money in it. This is years of my savings,” I said to myself. I was about to break it and withdraw money when my mind came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. However, thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the piggy bank broke into pieces and the coins rolled all over the floor.
Hearing the noise, my grandfather came over. I explained to him what had happened. Having known my thought, he fondly touched my head and said, “Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you.” He continued, “My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let’s buy that bike together now.” “Thank you, Grandpa,” I was overwhelmed with happiness. From that day on, you would always see me riding my bike on the street, leaving my hearty laughter behind.
