I was from a small town in Ontario and had just moved to the big city about three months earlier. It was one week before Christmas and I was going home on the last streetcar of the evening. I remember looking at my paycheque(工资单) and asking myself how it was going to endure. At that time in my life I hardly had enough money to exist on. Bread for supper and oatmeal for breakfast was the only way I kept hunger at bay. I got off the streetcar and started walking up the street, when I suddenly noticed a man was running after me. I stopped, turned around, seeing that he was black. I snapped, “What do you want?” The man answered in a soft voice, “I am returning your wallet. You left it on the streetcar seat.” Because of that mans thoughtfulness, I was allowed the comfort of going home by bus for the summer holidays. Otherwise, I would have stayed alone in my small room with a hog plate. I have never been so ashamed of myself, and that poor, kind man had to walk, who knows how far, home. I recognized immediately that this was wrong of me and it changed my ways forever. 41. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. The writer had no job when the story happened. B. The writer were leaving the big city for her hometown. C. The writer had little money when the story happened. D. The writers parents were very poor when she was young. 42. What does the underlined word “snapped” most probably mean? A. To speak in a soft voice. B. To shout angrily. C. To scream for help. D. To whisper. 43. Why was the black man running after the writer? A. To rob her. B. To scare her. C. To make friends with her. D. To return her wallet. 44. What is the writer trying to tell her readers? A. Never judge people by their appearance. B. She had been struggling to her success. C. She had changed a lot since that night. D. Being kind to strangers will pay back. B There is a growing problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, computers, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment. Electronic trash,or e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or computers so they throw them in the trash.National Solid Wastes Management Association(NSWMA) state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans produce is not unexpected.The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills(垃圾填埋场) and create recycling programs. They can be torn apart and sorted for useable parts. Mike Fannon who runs the plant in Baltimore, says, There are a lot of valuable metals that can be recovered and reused instead of just putting them in the landfill, and in certain components there are some materials that should not really be in the landfill, Fannon explained. Fannon says nearly 20 percent of electronic waste is recycled nationwide.Thirteen years ago, it was only about 6 percent. Recycling rates continue to rise as more communities have banned electronics from landfills in an effort to keep e-waste poisons like lead(铅) and mercury（汞） out of garbage dumps. This year several states like Vermont imposed a ban on electronic waste in landfills. More than 25 other states have also adopted landfill bans, e-waste recycling programs or both. Chaz Miller says more can be done to boost electronic waste recycling.We can do much better, noted Miller. I think clearly our goal should be to do as well as we do recycling newspapers. 45. Which of the following does NOT belong to e-waste? A. Old televisions. B. Old computers. C. Old cell phones D. Old newspapers. 46. Why is e-waste banned from landfills in many states? A. Because it can not be recycled. B. Because it might damage the environment. C. Because it can be shipped to other countries. D. Because the landfills are already full. 47. According to Mike Fannon, what might be the best way of dealing with e-waste? A. Recycling it. B. Selling it. C. Burying it. D. Breaking it. 48. What can we learn from the passage? A. At present, less then 10 percent of e-waste is recycled. B. Chaz Miller works for EPA. C. All states in the US have banned e-waste from landfills. D. Experts are optimistic about the future of e-waste. CMonkeys are very similar to us in many ways. We enjoy watching them because they often act like us. In fact, scientists say monkeys and humans share a common ancestor.Monkeys make us smile, too, because they are creatures full of playful tricks. This is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts. One of these expressions is monkeyshines, meaning tricks or foolish acts. So, when a teacher says to a group of students: Stop those monkeyshines right now!, you know that the kids are playing, instead of studying.You might hear that same teacher warn a student not to monkey around with a valuable piece of equipment. You monkey around with something when you are touching or playing with something you should leave alone. Also, you can monkey around when you feel like doing something, but have no firm idea of what to do. Monkey business usually means secret, maybe illegal, activities. A news report may say there is monkey business involved in building the new airport, with some officials getting secret payments from builders.You may make a monkey out of someone when you make that person look foolish. Some people make a monkey out of themselves by acting foolish or silly.If one monkey has fun, imagine how much fun a barrel of monkeys can have. If your friend says he had more fun than a barrel of monkeys at your party, you know that he had a really good time.Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear. In earlier years, performing monkeys tight-fitting, colorful jacket looked similar to a military uniform. So, people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit.49. Which of the following can best state the main idea of the passage? A. Monkeys are connected with our life. B. Due respect should be paid to monkeys. C. Some English expressions about monkey. D. Monkeys share a common ancestor with us. 50. How many expressions about monkey are introduced in the passage? A. 5. B. 6. C. 7. D. 8. 51. The expression “monkeyshine” has the closest meaning to _. A. mischief B. laziness C. making noise D.diligence 52If you drew a funny picture on your friends face while he was sleeping, you were _. A. monkeying around B. doing money business C. enjoying a barrel of monkeys D. making a monkey out of him DFather upset by Manchester schools Victorian wall of shameJosie Robinson, who appeared on a so-called wall of shame at her school in south Manchester, was in tears. Her father has hit out at the Victorian methods. Chorlton High School put up pictures of year 10 pupils who teachers believed had behaved badly. Children singled out for praise were placed on the wall of fame. Its head teacher said the scheme (策划) was designed to motivate pupils. Carlo Robinson, whose daughter Josie was put on the wall after missing lessons, wants to make a complaint. The teenager had been missing school and turning up late because she was upset that her mother was ill. She said: I thought it was embarrassing. Mr Robinson added: She was in tears. She couldnt tell me at first - it took her about an hour- because she wasnt sure what I would think of it. When she told me I was really shocked. I contacted at least 20 friends and they all agreed it was wrong - its like Victorian times.Head teacher Andy Park said: Weve successfully used a similar scheme in the past with Year 11 students to incentivise pupils and it really did make a difference - pupils took it in the right spirit and were motivated by it to improve their performance. Obviously this latest scheme wasnt intended to cause offence to pupils. It was actually developed to praise the students moving forwards successfully and to support pupils who needed to make improvements. No parents have complained directly to the school and Id be very happy to meet with any parents to discuss further.Mr Robinson told the reporter he had contacted the school to schedule a meeting with the head teacher. 53. What does Mr. Robinson mean by saying this is the “Victorian” methods? A. The methods ignore womens rights. B. The methods are totally out of time. C. The methods have a long history. D. The methods worked well in the past. 54. Why had Josie been missing school, according to her father? A. She got up late. B. She hated the wall of shame. C. She wasnt on the wall of fame. D. Her mother was not well. 55. What does the underlined word “incentivise” most probably mean? A. To encourage. B. To exchange. C. To hurt. D. To force. 56. What can we learn from the passage? A. The scheme proved successful before. B. Most students didnt take the scheme in the right spirit. C. Twenty other parents have similar complaints. D. The school has apologized to Mr. Robinson. EA powerful earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan at2:46 p.m. local time on March 11th. Japans Meteorological Agency released its first tsunami warnings just three minutes later. The country has one of the best earthquake early warning systems in the world. More than4,000 Seismic Intensity Meters provide information within two minutes of an earthquake happening. There are also concrete sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami. Costas Synolakis is a tsunami expert in the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He says: Japan is one of those most well-prepared countries on earth in terms of tsunami warning. They had a warning. I think what went wrong is that they had not anticipated the size of this event.He says there are two reasons for this. First, scientists had not expected such a large earthquake. The9.0 magnitude earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded worldwide. It was also the worst ever to hit Japan. The tsunami waves reached as high as13 meters in some areas.Second, Japans concrete sea walls were not built to handle such high waves. In Sendai(仙台), they were about three meters. At least in that area they were not expecting such a sizeable wave because they would have built a higher seawall. A tsunami wave can travel as fast as800 kilometers per hour. To get to higher ground people would often have to travel for many kilometers. This can take more time than a fast traveling tsunami will permit. This is especially true in cases like Japan. The tsunami waves followed almost immediately.Experts say early warning systems will continue to be limited by these facts until earthquakes and tsunamis can be predicted. 57. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. A powerful earthquake hit Japan. B. Japan has the best earthquake early warning system. C. Japan can report an earthquake before it happens. D. Better equipment should have been used. 58. According to Costas Synolakis, _. A. Japan had a warning of such a serious earthquake B. Japan has experienced the worst earthquake worldwide C. the Japanese should have built higher seawalls D. The Japanese were not really prepared for such a disaster 59. According to the writer, why hadnt people got to higher ground? A. Because tsunami doesnt leave much time for them. B. Because they thought the seawalls were reliable. C. Because higher ground cant be reached at all. D. Because didnt know there woul
