Meanwhile, the Coca- Cola Company recently made a two-minute advertisement showing itself as part of the solution to Americas obesity（肥胖）problem. Food writers and doctors eyed it with disapproval. Oh, please!” wrote famous author Marion Nestle. There really isnt anything to say about drinking soda (汽水). A super-sized drink with 123 grams of sugar is short cut to heart disease and obesity. One in three Americans today is obese, compared to one in five in 1990. Theres no single cause for this increase, but one is almost certainly the linking for soda drinks. Other nations drink soda more responsibly. Japan drinks 34 liters per person, compared to 165 liters per person in the United States. More examples are Russia (30 liters per person), Italy (49 liters per person) and South Korea (27 liters per person). In the United States, soda is the most consumed drink; they drink almost twice as much as they do bottled water. Soda outside America isnt necessarily healthier. Its in the way that people drink it. As with most things like food and drink, the Italians do soda better. It has 23 grams of sugar in a standard-sized bottle. They drink it as a mid- afternoon treat in limited quantities, which is how Americans used to drink it. They dont have it like water at every meal. The problem is not soda but the people. Yes, the industry targeted children by placing machines in schools. Yes, they spent millions protecting sales of their products. But, with all the evidence, were the ones who are buying it.24. Marions words Oh, please! show that she _ A. hopes Americans will fight obesityB. thinks the soda argument should stop C. disagrees with Cola- Colas statementD. is angry with the prohibition on sale25. In America, soda seems to _. A. contain more sugar than before B. be more popular than any other drinks C. be considered as the root of health problem D. have an increasing number of consumers26. How do the Italians drink soda in a responsible way? A. They drink a limited quantity at every meal. B. They drink bottled water at the same time. C. They cut down the amount they drink. D. They drink it mainly in the middle of the day.27. What is the authors opinion on soda? A. It should be forbidden from selling. B. It is actually healthier than he thought. C. Americans think too much about the bad effects of it. D. Americans should change their ways of dealing with it.CElectricity bills can be highly expensive and the power we consume comes at an even greater cost to the environment when you consider that over 85% of the electricity produced in the United States comes from fuels. Whether youre concerned about cleaning up the environment or you simply want to reduce your electricity bill，residential wind power generators（发电机）could be a solution.Producing wind power at home will not work for everyone. If you live in a over-populated residential area，there may be certain laws and zoning requirements that prohibit the use of windmills (风车). If you live on 1 acre of land or more, you probably wont have any issues but you should investigate carefully to make sure that wind power generators are both legal and practical where you live. Even if there are no laws or regulations prohibiting wind power generators you still need to be in a location that gets enough wind on a regular basis.Some producers of wind generators recommend that you live in an area with wind speeds that average at least 10 mph. Newer models have been developed recently that can operate with wind speeds as low as 4 mph but maximum efficiency is achieved at higher wind speeds. Before you fix a wind powered system, you will have to determine your power requirements. Will you be using it to charge a small battery for a boat or vehicle or will you need enough power to run your entire household and be completely off the grid (电网)? Once you know what your power requirements are，you can start shopping around for a system that can meet those needs.Wind power generators are a great solution for a lot of people. Theyre an ideal solution for remote locations where it would be impractical or simply too expensive to tap into the grid. They are quiet and totally clean，producing no pollution. They require no fuel and very little maintenance. Residential wind power offers a lot of benefits but its not for everyone. Youll have to have some money up front to pay for the system and equipment; however, you could save quite a bit of money if youre able to do much of the work yourself. Youll also need to live in an area that gets enough wind to make the equipment worthwhile. Youll need to do your homework before you make a purchase, but wind power generators could be a great solution for producing clean, low-cost energy.28. What is the main idea of the first paragraph？A. Electricity bills can be highly expensive.B. Most of the electricity in the US comes from fuels.C. Generating electricity does harm to the environment.D. Residential wind power generators are useful and necessary.29. What can we infer from the passage？A. wind power generators enjoy a lot of benefits.B. you can place wind power generators wherever you want.C. wind power generators are affordable to most families.D. wind power generators are an ideal solution for everyone.30. What attitude might the writer hold towards residential wind power generators？A. Negative B. Supportive C. Skeptical D. Cautious31. What is the best title for the passage？A. Ways of Fully Using Wind PowerB. How to Reduce Your Electricity BillC. Alternative SolutionWind PowerD. Function of Wind Power GeneratorsDThough there are about 400 languages from all over the world that are in danger of disappearing completely，ZoqueAyapaneco，a native Mexican language is considered the most likely to become extinct，because the only two people in the world that speak it fluently do not talk to each other!And，its not because they live in different countries，states or even villages. In fact，Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez，both in their 70s，live within 500 yards of each other，in the village of Ayapa in the Southern Mexican State of Tabasco. They，however，refuse to communicate because they simply dont have much in common. Segovia is apparently a little flank in nature while Velazquez is described as shy.Segovia was at least able to talk in ZoqueAyapanece with his brother until he passed away about 12 years ago，and still manages to practice it with his family，especially his son Manuel，who for the last five years has been trying to learn it and hopes to become fluent enough to teach it to the next generation. Velazquez on the other hand，has not been heard speaking in the language with anybody.The two men say the language used to be widely spoken in the village，but the younger generation shunned it for fear of being laughed at，and it therefore began to die a slow death，as the elders passed away.Unless the two men get their acts together，the only way to hear the language will be to either listen to Manuels not-so-fluent statement or see them talk in a documentary entitled “Lengua Muerta” (Dead Language) that is being filmed to capture Zoque Ayapaneco and 364 other native Mexican languages that are in a similar state.We sure hope Segovia and Velazquez soon find something common to talk about. Maybe the fact is that the language is dying and that they should start encouraging and teaching the next generation together.32What do we know about Zoque Ayapaneco?AIt was widely used twelve years ago. BIt is a Southern American language.CIt will be popular in Mexico in the near future.DIt will be dying out if no effective measures are taken.33The underlined word “shunned” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”AfavoredBidentifiedCwere reluctant to learnDdenied34From the passage，we can conclude that_.Aaltogether 365 languages are becoming extinct in the world.BSegovia and Velazquez will communicate with each other soonCthe government cares a lot about the protection of Zoque AyapanecoDwe can hear the language from Manuel or documentary “ Lengua Muerta”35Whats the main idea of the passage?AWorlds endangered languages are being filmed.BVillagers are trying to protect their old language.CAn endangered language is spoken by only two people.DThere are a lot of languages in Mexico.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。（请将答案涂在答题卡上E=AB F=AC G=AD）Recycling: Beyond the DustbinRecycling is very important and necessary in todays world. The most important reason for this is that human progress and industry have made it possible for people to have lots of things, and when people have many material possessions, they are bound to throw some of them away. _36_Recycling is a way for us to keep the world clean as items are broken down and used again, preventing the littering of the environment. Instead of throwing all your garbage into the dustbin, you should separate paper, metal, glass, and plastic into different containers. _37_ They can be turned into valuable compost(堆肥), which is the perfect plant food and soil disease fighter._38_ You can see if an item has been made from recycled materials by its label. If its been recycled, it will say so. Also instead of always buying new clothes, you can arrange to have a clothing exchange with your friends. You bring clothes you dont want and pick items you want from what other people have brought. Not only does this save the environment, but it also saves your money. _39_ This saying can be applied to all sorts of things: books, CDs, furniture, etc. Also try shopping at second-hand stores, because they often have lots of items still in good shape for you to choose.Many countries have made it easy for people to recycle, as alongside the normal garbage trucks, special garbage trucks come and pick up recyclables. However, in some countries the responsibility is left up to the ordinary people to recycle. _40_ Recycling represents just one way in which we can help the environment. But it is an effective one and one that we can actively influence.A. Fallen leaves can also be recycled.B. Having too many things causes a lot of garbage. C. You should try to buy products that have been recycled.D. Products made with recycled materials are as good as new products.E. This creates a lot of garbage which in turn destroys the environment.F. Remember, what is one persons unwanted object can be someone elses treasure!G. Therefore, it needs attention in society so we can continue to make our environment livable.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：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。 That holiday morning I didnt have to attend school.

He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.Several thoughts 49 my mind as I watched him work. He wasnt well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) 50 T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern 51 would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed 52 with life. There he was, working hard at his small business 53 at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then 54 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.There was a noticeable touch of 55 in the way he seemed to be doing things 56 the windscreen, then standing back to admire it; scrubbing the wheels and 57 , standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.It was a 58 to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a 59 if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt 60 of myself.
