On his first day the zoo boss took him to the gorilla(大猩猩) cage. But it was empty. The gorilla was sick and couldnt be there for the next week. The boss asked the student to put on a gorilla suit and sit in the cage. This way the people would at least have something to look at.“It sounds interesting to me.” said the student.The next day, he put on the gorilla suit and climbed into the cage. Soon there was a crowd of children coming to see the gorilla. “I need to do something to make them happy.” thought the student.Then, he grabbed(抓) a rope in the cage and started to swing(摇摆). He swung higher and higher. All of a sudden, he flew out of his cage and dropped right into the lions cage! He was so scared that he quickly got up and ran to the front of the cage.

The energy from sunlight, known as solar energy, can also be used to produce electricity or heat water.WaterYou drink water every day. All living things must have water to live. People need water for farming, manufacturing(创造业), transportation, and business. Almost everything we do on a daily life requires water, so it is important for us to have a clean source of usable water to support our lives.WindThe wind results from the suns energy, and it has energy. This energy can be used to pump(输送) water or produce electricity. Producing electricity from wind power does not pollute the environment. No chemicals enter the air or the water, so no waste disposal(废料) problems develop. Also, wind is a renewable resource(可再生能源).ForestsTrees provide energy when burned, and they are used for building and paper-making. Trees and green plants also release(放出) oxygen, which is important for clean and healthful air, and forests provide a home to many different kinds of animals. Some trees are also the sources of medicines and other important substances(物质). 36. The energy from _ can help most plants to make food. A. waterB. sunlightC. windD. forests37.

While this sounds funny, its a popular English stereotype(刻板印象). From the supermarket to the subway, waiting in line is a common sight on the streets of Britain.Here in China, waiting in line is normal, too. It is a part of everyday life. People wait in line most of the time, from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant.But in certain situations, youll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd, such as getting onto the subway. Even away from the busy subway platform(站台), waiting in line is different. One day I was standing in line at the supermarket. I left a small space in front of me. Within seconds, a girl walked by and took her place in that small space.I was surprised at first, but later I found these experiences very interesting. It is with these small, everyday differences that I get to live and learn within a new culture.Back in Britain, every person spends six months of their life waiting in a line, according to the auction site MadBid.

She gives us everything we need in our daily life. She is our Mother Earth. April 22 is Earth Day. The theme of this year is “Green Cities”. A green city is a healthy and pleasant place for people to live, according to the United Nations. A green city can get its energy from renewable(可再生的) sources like solar(太阳能的) and wind power. Also, it is connected by clean public transportation. Moreover, a green city is made up of facilities(设施) that can save energy and reduce waste. Around the world, many cities and countries have done well to build themselves in a green way.Chicago is well known for its green roof(屋顶) program. These roofs are covered with plants. The plants get a great amount of rainwater. Later, the water evaporates(蒸发) to help make the air cool and clean. So far, there are about 360 green roofs in Chicago, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.Curitiba, Brazil, has great transportation. It opened the worlds first bus rapid transit(BRT) system in 1974. BRT runs on special lanes. This makes sure that buses are on time even in traffic jams. With the help of BRT, the city has the lowest level of air pollution in Brazil. Today, many other countries have copied BRT, including China and Mexico.Singapore is home to the first zero-energy building in Southeast Asia. Zero energy means a building is able to create more energy than it uses. Zero-energy buildings work with solar panels(板) mainly on roofs. These panels can make electricity which powers the buildings. By 2030, Singapore plans to build 80 percent of its buildings like this.66. Whats the theme of Earth Day this year?_67. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, how many green roofs are there in Chicago?_68. Which city has great transportation?_69. Singapore is home to the first zero-energy building in Southeast Asia, isnt it?_70. From what can a green city get its energy?_Passage 2 根据短文内容填表格，并将答案写在答题卡的相应位置。What can personalities tell about us? Are you creative, shy, outgoing? Our personalities show a lot about who we are. But whats surprising is that our personalities can also say something about our health. Thats according to researchers at Duke University US.During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed(评定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years.Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet.From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure(高血压). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems.According to the report, if doctors assessed ou
