As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal (处理) problem becomes increasingly difficult. During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾拖运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically (定期地) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped (倾倒) the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys (烟囱) to deal with the problem. Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modem society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose.Property is either too expensive or too close to residential (住宅区的) neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent (不存在). Awareness (意识) of pollution dangers has led to more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow. Recycling efforts have become common place, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 per cent of a citys reusable waste.25.The most suitable title for this passage would be _.A. Places for Disposing WasteB. Waste Disposal ProblemC. Ways of Getting Rid of WasteD. Waste Pollution Dangers26.During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for _.A. recycling itB. burying itC. burning itD. throwing it into rivers27.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?A. Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.B. There is cheap land to bury waste in modem society.C. Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same.D. Long-distance trash hauling is impossible.28.The main purpose of writing this article is to_ .A. tell people a better way to get rid of the waste.B. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing.C. call on people to take part in recycling programs.D. draw peoples attention to waste management.CNola (August 21, 1974 -November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino（犀牛） who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 2, is to raise awareness(意识) of the less than 30,000 other rhinos left on Earth.“Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,” Nolas lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. “Last year we lost over 1,200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1,000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone.”“Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans,” Kennedy says.“ Humans have either poached animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we ve taken up too much of the worlds resources ”. Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations. Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours.In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8,000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers.Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as “a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help.”At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you don t have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day. It is observed around the world, with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos, and enable them to see the animals up close.

To encourage people to protect rhinos.C. To report special events in San Diego. D. To introduce World Rhino Day.DI know what youre thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last nightsleftoversin the morning if you want to. I know lots of women who dont have breakfast, and they have many different excuses for doing it. Some say they dont have time, others think theyre “saving” calories（卡路里）, still others just dont like breakfast food.But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when youre trying to lose weight“Eating just about anything from 300 to 1000 calories would be better than nothing at all,”says Katherine Brooking, R, D, who developed the super-easy eating plan for this years“SELF CHALLENGE”And even pizza can be healthy if its loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers found that those who dont have breakfast have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal. So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last nights leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try ityou may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects33.The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means _A. food remaining after a mealB. things left undoneC. meals made of vegetablesD. pizza topped with fruit34.What can we infer from the text?A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurryB. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfastC. There are some easy ways of cooking a mealD. Eating vegetables helps save energy35.The text is written mainly for those_A. who go to work earlyB. who want to lose weightC. who stay up late D. who eat before sleep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。 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。选项中的两项为多途选项。BedroomsBedroomsareveryimportant.Infact,youspendonethirdofyourlifeinyours.Thismeansthat youprobablydontwantaboringbedroom.Youwillnotwantabedroomfullofsomanythingsthatyoucantgettoyourbed,orthatispaintedinyourleastfavoritecolor.36._Whenyouaredesigningabedroomandyoudontknowwhattodowithsomespaceinthecorner,youmaywanttoseeifyoucanfitinadeskorasmallsittingarea.37 youmightwanttofillthisspacetogetsomemorestoragespaceorhavesomewhereto havesomeprivacy(隐私).Furnitureisnottheonlythingtoconsiderwhenyoudesignyourbedroom.38._Ifyouarentsurewhattodo,justkeepyourwallsandfurniturewhite,andmakesurethatlittlethingsarealsointhesamestyle.39._Youcanputupdryeraseboards,chalkboards,andpicturestogiveyourroomsomestyle.Youmayalsowanttoputinabedsidetable.Thosearegreatwaystoshowotherssomeofyourfavoritephotosandlovelytoys.Finally,trytofindsomethingthataddsenergyandlifetoyourbedroom.40_A.Youalsoneedtoconsidercolor.B.Besides,youmighthavesomewallspacetouseup.C.Youcouldalsoputinabookshelftocreatespace.D.Dontchooseaheavy,largebedforasmallbedroom.E.Thismeansyouwillneedtoplanoutyourbedroom.F.Ofcourse,plantshelpalotandtheycanalsokeeptheairclean.G.Ifyoulovetoreadinbed,asmallbedsidetableprobablywontwork.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。In a land far away, once upon a time there was great poverty （贫困）,and only the rich could manage without great_41_.
