near the beach. police temporarily (暂时的) protected the shark while oceanographers decided whether it was a species belonging to state protection. fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed that it was a whale shark and therefore not under state protection. the shark was believed to have drifted into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused last week by typhoon imbudo. it had no open injuries but experts said they believed it suffered from internal (内部的) bleeding. local police officer fu chenggeng said beachgoers should not feel threatened by sharks because the fish never attack human beings on their own initiative. fu said he had never heard of any shark attacks at the sanya beach since he first started work there eight years ago. however, police said they will improve the security system to safeguard tourists safety on the beach. 1. the underlined word confirmed probably means _. a. said b. believed c. thought d. made sure 答案:

laying stress on environmental concerns.two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.this may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. and the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a companys environmental reputation was not good enough.harry morrison, chief executive (主管) of the carbon trust, sympathizes: “i understand this situation where survival is very important now. but from environmental considerations, the clock is ticking-we dont have much time. in addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions (排放) . those that have taken early action will have a head start. more than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. this suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.the carbon trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “when companies are granted (授予) the standard, they can use a logo (标识) in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” mr. morrison said.63. whats the main idea of the passage?a. businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.b. companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.c. firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.d. firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers environmental awareness.64. the underlined word “inform” in paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.a. affect b. change c. disturb d. reject65. according to harry morrison, businesses .a. should buy carbon allowances for shoppers b. will benefit from cutting carbon emission c. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsd. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere66. we can learn from the passage that businesses will .a. have a strong desire to reduce costsb. use the same logo in their marketingc. gain advantages by taking early actiond. attract more shoppers by storing goods参考答案 63. d 64. a 65. b 66. c*结束if women are mercilessly exploited（剥削） year after year, they have only themselves to blame. because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned dresses. skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.no one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability （耐用）. they are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. there can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes.when comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability（稳定耐用）? that is for you to decide.45. designers and big stores always make money _.a. by mercilessly exploiting women in the clothing industryb. because they are good at predicting new fashionsc. by constantly changing the fashions in womens clothingd. as they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing46. to the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _.a. a waste of money b. a waste of timec. an expression of taste d. an expression of beauty47. new fashions in clothing are created for _.a. the commercial exploitation of womenb. the womens strength of characterc. basic qualities of inconstancy and instabilityd. an important contribution to society48. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. womens inconstancy in choosing clothes is often laughed atb. women are better able to put up with discomfortc. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersd. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion参考答案 45-48 cbad *结束 loneliness has been linked to depression（抑郁）and other health problems. now, a study says it can also spread. a friend of a lonely person was fifty-two percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. and a friend of that friend was twenty-five percent more likely to do the same. earlier findings showed that happiness, obesity(肥胖) and the ability to stop smoking can also spread like infections within social groups. the findings all come from a major health study in the american town of framingham, massachusetts. the study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression. the new findings involved more than five thousand people in the second generation of the framingham heart study. the researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. the results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends. for example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. the loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. the study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men.the average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year. the study found that having a lonely friend can add about seventeen days. but every additional friend can decrease loneliness by two and a half days.lonely people become less and less trusting of others. this makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends and more likely that society will reject（排斥）them. john cacioppo at the university of chicago led the study. he says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. he says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks. 57. as an average person, if you have 2 more common friends, how many days a year might you suffer from loneliness?a. 48 days. b. 17 days. c. 65 days. d. 43 days.58. what can we infer from the passage about lonely people?a. they can overcome loneliness themselves.b. they will decrease loneliness day by day.c. they are in great need of help from people around.d. they can help others to repair their social networks.59. whats the best way to help lonely people according to this passage?a. put them together. b. make friends with them. c. help them stop smoking. d. ask them to loose weight.60. which of the following would be the best title for the passage?a. lonelinessthe cause of depressionb. how loneliness can affect social networksc. lonelinessa serious social problemd. how people can help a lonely person参考答案5760 dcbb*结束book 1 : brack obama grades: 3-5our price: $ 8.95his mother came
