Its not that I mind the hard work, or am afraid of ing into contact with toxic substances. What I fear is quickly losing hope about the work I do. However, doing field research with the toxic team, all I see and feel is filth-nothing else. Even if I close my eyes, I can smell the smell of food processing, rotting organic waste from paper mills and chemicals from clothing manufacturers. One morning, I went to investigate a discharged pipe to document and collect samples of pollutants secretly being emitted by a textile mill. I had to work with the utmost secrecy in order to avoid being discovered by the textile mill. I dipped a long measuring pole into the large polluting pipe to measure the volume of polluted water being emitted. But the surface of the water, covered in oil and filth, made me feel as if to vomit(呕吐). All of a sudden, I felt someone hit me on my back, it frightened me so much that I almost fell into the water. I grasped the pole and looked behind me to see an old man standing there. He asked: “Can you catch fish here?” I realized that he thought I was holding a fish pole, so I kept calm and said: “Yes, I heard that theres a kind of small fish living in this water, and it has medicinal benefits.” The old man grew quite curious and replied: “That may be. If a fish can survive in water as dirty as this, it must have a lot of resistance. So it wouldnt be too strange if such fish had medicinal benefits.” It was clear he was just passing by, so I answered: “Yeah, survival of the fittest. Fish that adapt can survive, just like us humans.” He kept talking to me and didnt want to leave. He wanted to see whether or not I would catch the small fish with medicinal benefits.1.The text is mainly about _.A. a research report about pollution.

D.Cigarette pack warnings that remind smokers of the fatal consequences of their habit may actually make them smoke more as a way to cope with the predictability of death，according to researchers.A small study by psychologists from the United States，Switzerland and Germany showed that warnings unrelated to death，such as smoking makes you unattractive or smoking brings you and the people around you severe damage，were more effective in changing smokers attitudes toward their habit.This was especially the case in people who smoked to boost their selfesteem，such as youth who took up the habit to impress or fit in with their peers and others who thought smoking increased their social value，the researchers said.In general，when smokers are faced with deathrelated antismoking messages on cigarette packs，they produce active coping attempts as reflected in their willingness to continue the risky smoking behavior，the study said.To succeed with antismoking messages on cigarette packs one has totake_into_accountthat considering their death may make people smoke.The study was based on 39 psychology students，aged between 17 and 41，who said they were smokers.Participants filled in a questionnaire to determine how much their smoking was based on selfesteem，were then shown cigarette packs with different warnings on them，and then after a 15minute delay，the students were asked more questions about their smoking behavior that included if they intended to quit.On the one hand，deathrelated warnings were not effective and even ironically caused more positive smoking attitudes among smokers who based their selfesteem on smoking，the study said.On the other hand，warning messages that were unrelated to death effectively reduced smoking attitudes the more receivers based their selfesteem on smoking.The researchers said this finding can be explained by the fact that warnings such as smoking makes you unattractive may be particularly threatening to people who believe that smoking makes them feel valued by others or boosts their selfimage.12Which of the following warnings on the cigarette packs can stop smoking effectively?ASmoking means death.BSmoking kills people quickly.CSmoking more，friends less.DNo smoking！No death.13Paragraph 3 in the passage tells us _.Ahow the young people smokeBwhy the young people smokeCthatsmoking does harm to the young peopleDwhen the young people begin to smoke14Which of the following about the study is NOT true?AThe participants major in psychology in college.BThe participants read the antismoking messages on cigarette packs.CThe questionnaires are difficult.DThe results are similar.15Whats the most probable title of the passage?ASmoking makes you unattractive.BStop smoking.CA result on smoking.DSmoking does harm to you.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。Are you truly happy？Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness？These are important questions for anyone who is seeking happiness to ask themselves.The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.*Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy.Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.*_16_ It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way.On the contrary，if you are around people who are happy，their emotional state will be infectious.*_17_ Truly happy people dont allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor.*_18_ These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.*_19_ Whether you treat yourself to lunch，take a long，relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance，you will be subconsciously (下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.*Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness.Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.*_20_ Being overweight or not eating nutritious foods can have a negative effect on your mood.AEveryone has unique requirement for happiness.What makes one person happy may be very different from what makes someone else happy.BThere are some tips in life that lead to happiness.CWhen something goes wrong，try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in selfpity.DKeeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness.ESpend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy.FSurround yourself with happy people.GIts also important to take some time each day to do something nice for yourself.三.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。The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my munity.

For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.32 there are many benefits, opponents 33 problems with the new requirement. First, they 34that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend35 time studying the core subjects.
