It was a surprising gesture. I was wondering if they were doing fund-raising. I knelt and asked them where their parents were and how much a bottle of water cost. Then two adult women came up to me explaining what the children were doing. “We are teaching the children to give without anything in return. We are teaching people to accept without giving in return.”Two mothers had bought bottled water and placed a sticker(小貼紙)on all bottles with five different quotes(引述):1.Smile at everyone. Youll never know when someone may need it.2.If Plan A does not work, there are 25 more letters in the alphabets.3.Have a thirst for life. Every day is filled with possibilities.4.In your thirst for knowledge, be sure you dont drown in all the information.5.Dig your well before youre thirsty.The bottle I have has quoted No. 5. A sudden change of attitude opened up among me, the mothers and the children. We are no longer strangers to each other. We were having such a great time chatting and I ended up helping them give away the rest of the bottled water.One young lady was so thankful that she happily accepted the water and said it was the best thing that happened to her all day since she had a bad day at work. A man refused and walked away saying “No, thanks”. A couple kept on bowing to us in gratitude. When is was all done, the children and I were giving each other high-five. It was so much fun.

The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate data obtained from the Antarctic(南極的) ice. Scientists from 10 nations have now almost pletely drilled (鉆）through a 3,000-meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to -40, has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer (層) have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past. The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740,000 years and eight warmer periods. And by paring the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15,000 years. Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years. If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise, our data say no, a new ice age is not hanging over our heads, said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future. Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level. In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today, said Dr Wolff.28. In drilling through the ice in Antarctica, scientists have found that _ .A. the lowest temperature there is -40 B. snowfalls are kept in certain patterns（模式）C. the ice has existed for 15,000 years D. the depth of ice is 3,000 meters29. The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through _ .A. separating carbon dioxide from the air B. examining the growth rings of trees C. paring temperatures in different areas D. studying the ice and air caught in each layer30. We can infer from Eric Wolffs words that _ .A. there is something wrong with the data B. greenhouse effect is always a bad thing C. a new ice age will not e in the near future D. greenhouse gas will get thick in the future31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Research over the Antarctic area. B. Warm period to last about 15,000 years. C. Report on the eight ice ages in the past. D. Hollywood movies and the global climate.DHow long has 3-D technology been around? Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D. But 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(體視鏡). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film calledLe Ariveedun Train.Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-to make 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidlyflickering(閃動(dòng))two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, bining the two pictures together into one and giving the show the appearance of depth, the third dimension.But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the childs developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children arent yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful.The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and the sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and pare them with non-watchers.With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and more frequent periods of 3-D exposure cause more changes in the visual system. We may find that the bigger problem is the introduction of a new technology that leads to even more time spent on TV rather than playing outdoors.32According to the text, 3-D technology _A. was refused by people when it first appeared. B. will soon change the way we watch TV.C. does no good to our visual system. D. has a history of nearly 200 years.33Paragraph 2 is mainly about_A. the history of 3-D technology. B. why 3-D movies are popularC. how 3-D technology works. D. the influence of 3-D technology.34Whats the method suggested in paragraph 4?A. To wait and see B. To carry out lab studiesC. To stop making 3-D movies D. To improve 3-D technology35The authors purpose in writing the text is to _A. ask children not to watch 3-D moviesB. discuss if 3-D viewing is harmful to children.C. introduce the advantages of 3-D technology.D. predict the development of 3-D technology.第二節(jié) （共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。How to use speed reading to go through newspapers or magazines? 36 You will not only save time, but also your focus will increase and you will have fun reading even the uninteresting reports. 37 This plays to the advantage of the tired reader who wants to stay current but has very little time to read. Often all you need to understand a news piece is the first paragraph. Here the reporter will tell you whats happening, who its happening to and where its happening.Sometimes you dont even need to read the entire paragraph because the first sentence or the first couple of sentences give you all the information. If you still have more time you can move on to step two. 38 Read the last paragraph. Some news pieces are follow-ups of events that were earlier reported. In such a situation, the first paragraph may not give you all the information you need. 39 Its usually in the last paragraph that the user is given the background information that leads to the story.Read the “quotes” after youve read the first and last paragraphs and you still feel you need more information or have more time to play with, you can e into middle of the piece by reading the direct speech of the sources of the news item. In all forms of writing where quotations are used, the writer leads the reader into the quotes and then leads the reader out. This takes too much space and therefore, robs the reader out of some precious time. 40 A. Read the first paragraph.B. But the last paragraph will do the job.C. The first paragraph may be not important at all.D. Otherwise, you can stop reading.E. Here are three techniques you can use.F. So glide directly to the quotation marks and read whats within them.G. If you follow these steps, its possible to get about 80 percent of a news piece.第三部分 英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用 (共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié) 完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。One day, while I was walking to work, I decided to bring some flowers that I had picked from my garden that morning. On the way, I 41 a stranger and presented the bunch to him with a smile card. 42 by the sense of joy I felt from giving flowers to another person, and may be 43 his day, I wanted to do it again.When I got to my office, I had the 44 of anonymously(匿名地) leaving flowers around the workplace. The impersonal(無(wú)人情味的) 45 of the building where I work makes me 46 . It just feels a little boring sometimes, 47 its a nice building with great light. I 48 lots of people might feel the same way, so why not put a little 49 there, and throw in an inspirational 50 while Im at it? After all, who doesnt like flowers? So, for the past month, Ive been 51 flowers in a little cup on the sink in the bathroom. Each week, I 52 the flowers and the quote. It always feels 53 for me to read quotes like Henry David Thoreaus “If one advances 54 in the direction of his dreams, he will meet with a success unexpected in mon hours.” and Gandhis “The fragrance(香味) always 55 on the hand that gives the rose.” If anything, I figured, it at least makes me 56 each time I visit the bathroom. Then today, when I walked in, I noticed 57 flowers in the cup, and a quote that someone else had written! It 58 , “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”Gandhi. This little act 59 me that, at the end of the day, were all just people with hearts 60 the various roles and different hats we may wear in the workplace.I did a little dance and I am smiling wide for the rest of the day!41.
