I remember being a twelve-year-old and spending some quality time on the phone with my girl-friends, even though wed seen each other at school. I didnt really have anything to talk about, I guess, but I think I was just happy to have someone else to talk to and that someone wanted to talk to me.We call this phenomenon (现象) of girls going on forever over the regular phone “girl talk”. And these days, girl talk has spread far beyond the old phone-teens communicate with each other pretty much nonstop through cell phone, texting，online chat. Is girl talk a good thing? According to experts, it can be-in limited quantities.Girl talk has its place. But too much of it, especially the kind during which problems are talked about endlessly can be not such a good thing. Psychologists (心理学家) think that too much of that kind of talking can lead to emotional problems such as depression (沮丧) and anxiety. Girls, much more so than boys, will always think of a problem and get worried, making the problem worse other than solving it. The best way is to try to guide the conversation toward something positive, or to do something about the problem rather than sit around and chat about it endlessly.24As a teen, the author used to chat with her friends _.Aover the cell phone Bthrough textingCover the old phone Don the Internet25According to the first paragraph, we know that _.Amany people think talking on the phone untrueBmany people find girl talk on the phone quite commonCgirls do little housework but only make callsDgirls dont want to talk at school26By saying “girl talk has its place” in paragraph 3, the author most probably considers girl talk to be _.Anegative B. meaninglessCactive D. acceptable27In the opinion of the author, girls should _.A. take actions to solve problems B. find some boys to chat withCask for advice on chatting Dtalk about their emotional problems CWhen was the last time you used plastic plates? Next time, why not try some edible ones? Youll help the environment and your guests wont go hungry.I used to work in school catering and saw a lot of money being thrown away. I thought that was criminal, so I decided to do something about it, said Italian school chef Tiziano Vicentini. Now, Vicentini has an amazing range of edible plates for schools. The plates are made out of bread dough, so you can eat them afterwards. These dishes cost a few pennies each and are either eaten by the kids, or go into recycling bins for animal food, explained Vicentini, 50, of Milan. But now other companies are developing edible plates, too. The Edible-Plate Company offers edible plates, bowls, trays and cups. Their products are environmentally-friendly, 100% biodegradable and can be used for all types of catering and home use. And theyre made from a natural plant. After use, they can be fed to animals or left to degrade naturally.They also have a range of cutlery（餐具） made from corn and potato starch（淀粉） These plates will also help reduce the amount of plastic we create. Waste from plastic causes a lot of damage to the environment, as well as costing governments millions in waste management. Plastic bags often end up in landfill sites or on the street. And the burning of plastic waste causes toxic gases that pollute the air. In response to this, governments around the world are introducing tough recycling regulations. And many shops are offering biodegradable plastic bags and eco-safe packaging on their products. To help matters, the International Organization for Standardization (the ISO) has also developed a system to evaluate the biodegradability of products, with a certification and logo scheme. Meanwhile, how about a nice plate for lunch?28Which of the following is not the advantage of edible plates?AThey are environmentally-friendly.BThey can degrade naturally.CThey are expensive.DThey are made from natural plant.29Which of the following statements is true?ATiziano is from Germany.BCorn and potato starch can be used to make cutlery.CEdible plates are only used for school catering.DThe Edible Plate Company doesnt produce edible bowls.30What does the underlined word this refer to?AThe damage to the environment caused by plastic waste.BThe toxic gases caused by the burning of plastic.CThe edible cutlery.DThe air pollution.31What is the main idea of this passage?AThe plate solution to eating and environmental problem.BHow to make edible plates from natural plants.CThe ways to reduce the plastic waste.DThe measures to stop the pollution. DA disease called “Panama” is threatening supplies of the worlds most popular fruit banana. Two years ago, the United Nations warned that the “Panama disease” could destroy “much of the worlds banana crop.” Since then, things have not gotten better. A new outbreak was discovered last year in Australia. The disease started in Asia in the 1990s, and later spread to Africa and the Middle East.World health officials worry the disease could travel to Latin America, one of the top banana producers in the world. All this is a big concern because bananas are an important source of income and nutrients for millions of people. They are grown in 135 tropical nations. The United Nations lists bananas as one of the most important foods, along with rice, wheat and corn.Randy Ploetz is a professor at the Tropical Research & Educational Center at the University of Florida. Many consider him as Americas top banana expert, or, “top banana.” As he explained, Panama disease affects the Cavendish banana. The Cavendish is one of more than 500 kinds of bananas. But it is the most popular.Ploetz said reports Cavendish banana production could end are not correct. But if the disease spreads to Latin America, it could hurt the worlds economy along with food supplies for millions of people.Still, he said there is reason for hope. Scientists in Australia are working on a genetically engineered banana that might not be at risk of getting Panama disease. But Ploetz wondered if people are ready to accept genetically engineered bananas.Robert Bertram is chief scientist for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). He said bananas are important to many millions of people all over the world. “In Africa, Asia and tropical America, bananas and plantains are an important food source for more than 100 million people,” he told VOA “As a cash crop, bananas are sold in local, regional and international markets,” Bertram said. Banana exports provide jobs and foreign money that producing countries need, he said.Bertram said USAID is organizing a worldwide effort to stop the growth of Panama disease. A fungus, known as TR4, causes the Panama disease.32What makes World health officials worried about the disease?AMaking the banana disappear.BNo effective medicine.CSpreading to another continent.DNo ways to stop it spreading.33What do you know about Professor Randy Ploetz?AHe found more than 500 kinds of bananas.BHe helps farmers grow various bananas.CHe is considered to be the best scientist studying banana in America.DHe will find a better way to protect bananas.34Whats the possible measure to defeat the disease?AUsing clone technology to kill the disease.BDeveloping a new type of banana free of the disease.CLooking for effective ways to make banana healthy.DInventing new medicine to prevent the disease.35What can be a suitable title for the text?AScientists Try to Protect Banana Trees.BDisease Spreads Quickly to Latin America.CBanana Plays an Important Role in Economy.DDisease Threatens Word Banana Supplies.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。Florence Nightingale was named after her birthplace, Florence. Italy. When she was almost a year old, she returned with her family to England.Florence often helped her mother deliver (运送) food to the poor and sick. 36 Her family was shocked because nursing was not a respected profession (职业).But Florence was determined.
