sheltered from the florida sun by its own roof. about the size of a microwave oven, its pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in palm beach country estates, along the northern boundary of palm beach gardens.its a library built with love.a year ago, shortly after janey henriksen saw a brian williams report about the little free library organization, a wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “thats what were going to do for our spring break!”son austin, now a 10th-grader, didnt see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. but janey insisted, and husband peter unwillingly got to work. the 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that hed built years earlier for daughter abbies toy horses, and made a door of glass.after adding the librarys final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only little free library in palm beach county.they stocked it with 20 or so books theyd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids favorites. “i told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said janey, a stay-at-home mom.since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. the library now gets an average of five visits a day.the projects best payoff, says peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “we had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” 26. in what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”? a. it owns a yellow roof.b. it stands near a sidewalk. c. it protects book lovers from the sun.d. it uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.27. janey got the

built _. a. by a ship supply companyb. on the basis of toy horses c. like a mailboxd. with glass29. what can we infer about the signboard? a. it was made by a user of the library.b. it marked a final touch to the library. c. it aimed at making the library last long.d. it indicated the library was a family property.30. the passage tells us that the users _. a. donate books to the libraryb. get paid to collect books for the library c. receive thank-you notes for using the library d. visit the library over 5 times on average daily b the day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. it took place during the first week of the term. every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. when giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. during the previous year rita had carried out the teachers instructions perfectly. all the children knew rita would be given the best job.but there was a big surprise. each child received a normal job. but ritas job was very different. she was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, rita felt disappointed. most of her classmates felt sorry for her. even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. however, rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.one day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”that day the school was filled with joy and celebration. everyone thanked rita for having been so patient and responsible. and many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.31. what did the teacher base his decision on when giving out jobs to the children? a. their characters and interests. b. their class performance during the previous year. c. their working performance during the previous year. d. their ability of managing their accounts during the previous year.32. what does the underlined sentence mean? a. each child got an important job. b. each child

has started a website, admongo, to help children think critically（批判性地） about the advertising aimed at them. it claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment.a cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to admongo. call me haiz, he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. spacey dance music plays in the background as haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.the idea behind admongo is to teach children three things: to identify the advertiser. to know what the advertiser is really saying. and to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.children learn these things through a video game. they create their own game character. they can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. the players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.the admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. it is a complete exploration of the world of marketing. one such area is food marketing. the federal trade commission(ftc) says it is a big business. the ftc estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.the ftc says children are important for three reasons. they buy products. they influence parents and caregivers to buy. and they are the future adult buyers of the products.a recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. first lady michelle obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.36. what is the best title of the text?a. the guide of admongo b. an aducation website for childrenc. a popular online video gamed. a website aimed at children37. why did the government start the website?a. to attract the biggest market of buyers.b. to sell the products of its company.c. to help children know about advertising.d. to advertise the video game for children.38. what can players do in the website game?a. choose hair styles for their character.b. travel to a supermarket.c. eat in a fast-food restaurant.d. play video games during the trip.39. children are important for advertising because they are .a. important for the society b. the most potential buyersc. easily influenced by adsd. easily affected by poor products40. according to michelle obama, lots of food advertised for children are _. a. healthy b. of high nutrition c. yummy d. of low qualitydcutting global warming pollution would not only make the planet healthier, it would make people healthier too, new research suggested. cutting carbon dioxide emissions could save millions of lives, mostly by reducing preventable deaths from heart and lung diseases, according to studies released wednesday and published in a special issue of the lancet, a british medical journal.relying on fossil fuels leads to unhealthy lifestyles, increasing our chances of getting sick and in some cases takes years from our lives, us health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius said in a telecast briefing from her home state of kansas. as greenhouse gas emissions go down, so do deaths from cardiovascular（心血管） and respiratory（呼吸道） diseases. this is not a small effect.instead of looking at the health ills caused by future global warming, as past studies have done, this research looks at the immediate benefits of doing something about the problem, said linda birnbaum, director of the us national institute of environmental health sciences.some possible benefits seemed highly speculative, the researchers conceded, based on people driving less and walking and cycling more. other proposals studied were more concrete and achievable, such as reducing cook stoves that burn dung（粪便）, charcoal and other polluting fuels in the developing world.and cutting carbon dioxide emissions also makes the air cleaner, reducing lung damage for millions of people, doctors said.here are ways you can attack major health problems at the same time as dealing with climate change, said lead author dr. paul wilkinson, an environmental epidemiologist at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine.wilkinson said the individual studies came up with numbers of premature deaths prevented or extra years of life added for certain places.for example, switching to low-polluting cars in london and delhi, india, would save 160 lost years of life in london and nearly 1,700 in delhi for every million residents, one study found. but if people also drove less and walked or biked more, those extra saved years would soar to more than 7,300 years in london and 12,500 years in delhi because of less heart disease.41. what does the passage mainly talk about? a. how can people live longer?b. cutting carbon dioxide emissions saves lives. c. global warming threatens peoples lives.d. people should stop relying on fossil fuels.42. the new research differs from past studies in that _. a. it focuses on the immediate benefits of cutting carbon dioxide emissions b. it studies the bad effects arising from future global warming c. it is believed by more people d. it mainly targets at developing countries43. according to kathleen sebelius, _. a. sometimes it takes years to see the bad effects caused by consuming fossil fuels b. without greenhouse gas emissions, people would not die of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases c. the main reason why people get sick is that they rely on fossil fuels d. deaths from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are closely related to greenhouse gas emissions44. which of the following is the most practical way to cut carbon dioxide emissions according to the passage? a. driving less.b. walking and cycling as much as possible. c. stopping using fossil fuels.d. reducing the use of polluting fuels to cook.45. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. london and delhi have already benefited from reducing greenhouse gas emissions b. switching to low-polluting cars would save 160 lives in london each year c. walking and biking instead of driving will reduce the chance of heart disease d. attacking health problems and dealing with climate change are contradictory第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）以下是美国电视频道一些有关科学的电视节目介绍：a.b.science dark sidethe dark side of science: experiments on humans, animals and more.science
