Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don’t dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
24．What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A．Help increase grocery sales. B．Recycle the waste material.
C．Stop things falling off trucks. D．Argue for the use of plastic bags.
25．What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Bans on plastic bags. B．Effects of city development.
C．Headaches caused by garbage. D．Plastic bags hung in trees.
26．What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?
A．They are quite expensive. B．Replacing them can be difficult.
C．They are less strong than plastic bags. D．Producing them requires more energy.
27．What is the best title for the text?
A．Plastic, Paper or Neither B．Industry, Pollution and Environment
C．Recycle or Throw Away D．Garbage Collection and Waste Control
C
Football is my favorite sport. I loved to watch it, but I had never played in a football game before I went to college. I lacked self－confidence and I doubted if I could do well in a team, which was why I hardly did sports together with others. I just loved practicing playing football in the backyard of my house.
About one month after I went to college, one day some of my classmates said they'd play a football game with some players of another class. I really looked forward to it but never thought I'd join them to play. That day finally came and I went to watch with my classmates. However, just about ten minutes after the game started, one member of our football team got injured and could no longer play. The other members looked worried. Then one of them came to me and asked, “Can you play?” At first, I shook my head, but then I nodded. “Great! Come and play,” he said. I followed him, having no idea at all what to do. To my joy, he asked me to play in defense (防守). Defense was my favorite because I found it more fun and less complicated (复杂的). Then the game began again. There weren't a lot of big kids on the offensive line (攻击线) of the other team and I suddenly gained some self－confidence. About five minutes later, the ball was kicked toward the guard. I thought it was a good opportunity for me. I quickly ran past the guard and got the ball. When the guard came to the offensive line, I kicked the ball. I scored and all my classmates cheered. You may not believe it, but I scored twice that time. The final score was 6—2 and we won. My teammates thought that I did very well and none of them believed I hadn't played in a game before.
That game really changed me. I am a really confident person now and often play football games with my teammates.

29．Seeing the author shaking his head at first, his classmates most probably felt ________.
A．excited B．boring

30．We infer that after playing the game, the author most probably ________.

C．was considered the best football player at school D．fell in love with joining others in playing football

Have you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.
   Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.
Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.
32．A blog is            .
A．a comment B．an Internet journal
C．a design D．a link
33．A person can do the following things in a blog EXCEPT _______.
A．talk to others B．give comments
C．read articles D．enjoy photos
34．Who is a blogger?
A．A person who posts letters. B．A person who writes articles.
C．A person who posts text or photos in a blog. D．A person who is an online publisher.
35．According to the passage, the reason why blogs are so popular is that they ____.
A．give everyone the chance to be an online writer
B．can be created by people without much knowledge of computer technology
C．enable a blogger to place news, personal thoughts, text and photos and give comments

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Exam Anxiety
Has this ever happened to you? You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. ___36___
Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. ___37___You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised.
___38___ Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.
So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test?___39___ Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. ___40___ You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating(分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.
A．The first thing you should do is to be prepared.
B．People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
C．If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!
D．Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
E．Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
F．However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.
G．After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.

72．Ladies and gentlemen,
  Thank you for attending our company's news conference. As you know, with the development of economy, people have to face various pressures. They don't have enough time to attend to the old people in their family, which has become a serious social problem. To solve this problem, our company has put out the household robot, which is designed to take care of old people. It can cook meals at a fixed time which can be adjusted according to individual needs. It can also accompany old people in having a chat, playing chess and doing exercise. Besides,it can deal with emergencies, for example, if an old man falls ill suddenly, the robot will call doctors for help.
It would be a great help for you if you owned such a robot.
Thank you

M: Thanks so much for coming to our house! My wife and I really need someone to look after the children. After we had our first baby six years ago, my wife left her job as a lawyer to care for him. Then we had a little girl — that was two years ago. But my wife has decided to start teaching at a university. So we’d like to hire someone to watch them during the day.
W: Well，I have a lot of experience taking care of children! I started babysitting my own little brothers and sisters when I was in middle school. I also looked after other people’s children to make money when I was in high school. And last year, I took the Red Cross safety course, so I know basic first aid.
M: Wow! You sound like you know what you’re doing. If you want the job, we’ll pay you twenty dollars an hour. You should work three days a week. My wife only teaches part of the week, so we don’t need you all the time.
W: That sounds perfect. I’ll take the job!

W: The world of music was never be the same since the formation of a band in Liverpool, England in 1956. The Beatles were formed by George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and John Lennon. Their first hit (风行一时的事物) song Love Me Do was recorded in 1962. The Beatles quickly became the world’s best-known pop music group and many people today still regard them as the finest band in the history of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were the authors of most of the songs the group recorded. Harrison also wrote songs, often using ideas from Indian music. The drummer of the group was the famous Ringo Starr and he occasionally sang. For six years the Beatles had hit after hit songs. Twenty-eight of their songs were on the Top Twenty record charts and seventeen of these songs reached number one on the charts. The group also had a successful movie career. The comedies A Hard Day’s Night and Yellow Submarine became very successful movies. People imitated (模仿) their long hairstyles, clothing, and humor. Almost all later pop bands learned from the Beatles. Beatlemania is the word used to describe how strong and loyal the fans were.
