two of us going green is not a fad but a lifestyle On April 22 2011 we decided to go green every single day for an entire year This meant doing 365 different green things and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things Rather than recycle and reduce our energy we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task With the idea of going green every single day for a year Our Green Year started My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps Over the course of Our Green Year we completely changed our lifestyle We now shop at organic 有机的 stores We consume less meat choosing green food We have greatly reduced our buying we don t need We have given away half of what we owned through websites Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice with no chemical cleaners We make our own butter enjoying the smell of home made fresh bread In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet 21 What might be the best title for the

infer from the last paragraph A The government will give support to the green people B Some people disagree with the couple s green ideas C The couple may continue their project in the future D Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign B A very disruptive 调皮捣蛋的 six year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand said one teacher I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs said another Many people have heard stories like this But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents Every child regardless of the circumstances into which they are born has the right to achieve their potential regardless of their parents wealth and class And we recognize that as a nation it is a long way to achieve this goal But with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter 4 Far too many children are behaving badly at school even to the point of being violent to staff This is terrible enough but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behaviour of their parents Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork unused to eating at a table and unable to use the lavatory 卫生间 properly We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof The bedroom once a place to sleep has become the living space for the young Spending hours in front of computer screens on social networking sites or being immersed 沉迷于 in computer games children and young people spend little time with their parents Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents Both parties need to work together Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children s behaviour and sticking to those boundaries They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for

females than males In this country women outlive men by about seven years Throughout the modern world cultures are different diets are different ways of life and causes of death are different but one thing is the same women outlive men It starts before birth At conception male fetuses 胎儿 outnumber female by about 110 to 100 at birth the rate has already fallen to about 105 boys to every 100 girls By the age of 30 there are only enough men left to match the number of women Then women start taking a lead Beyond the age of 80 there are nearly twice as many women as men If you look at the top ten or twelve causes of death said Deborah Wingard a disease expert at the University of California at San Diego every single one kills more men She listed out one sad fate after another heart disease lung cancer and so on Each kills men at roughly twice the rate of that it does women More than a century ago American men surpassed and outlived the women But in the 20th century women began living longer primarily because pregnancy 怀孕 and giving birth to children had become less dangerous The gap grew steadily In 1946 for the first time ever in the United States females outnumbered males Parts of the reasons are self made Men smoke more drink more and take more life threatening chances than women Men are murdered usually by other men three times as often as women are They commit suicide at a higher rate and have more than twice as many fatal car accidents as women do Men are likely to be involved in alcohol related deaths But behavior doesn t explain away the longevity gap Today some scientists studying the gender gap believe that the data point to one conclusion Mother Nature may be partial 偏袒 to women Every living thing is assembled according to instructions on its chromosomes 染色体 and humans have 23 pairs of them But in males one of these is a weak non matching pair expressed by xy The agreement pair in females is xx and its genetic backup power is sometimes listed as a clue to woman s superior restoring force If the male s single x chromosome isn t perfect it is possible for a serious genetic disorder to appear Some blood diseases for instance are diseases caused by a shortcoming in a single gene on the x chromosome They are far more common in males than females 32 What may the underlined word outlive in Paragraph1 mean A Become stronger than B Live longer than C Be wiser than D Be born more earlier than 33 What can we infer from the second paragraph A Female fetuses are more than male B The female are surpassing the male with age increasing C By the age of 30 the female are more than the male D Over 90 men are more than women in the United States 34 How many exact diseases are mentioned as examples killing twice men than women A Two B Three C Ten D Five 6 35 The best title for this passage is A Why women live longer than men B Women are different from men C American men once lived longer than the women D Men smoke and drank more than women 第二节 共 5 小题

all of the research has been completed and all of the sentences are structured well but the paper still lacks some pizzazz 活力 it can be boring to grade If you are searching for ways to help your students find their voices why not try making students themselves the topic of the writing 36 Who are you One of the most difficult questions for students to answer is Who are you 37 In doing this through writing students will start to see their personalities differently and hopefully be able to add a feature to their writing Dear John 38 Encourage them to write to a famous person they ve always admired and then the one they absolutely hate Explore how their language changes between the two letters When students know their audiences it is much easier for them to add the kind of personality their audience wants to see 39 When students write about what matters most to them they will often give you the best writing you ve ever seen You ll get those when you ask questions that hit home When students have something to say about a given topic it can be easier for them to get their ideas down and then work on their writing style Get the words on paper and then edit them The most valuable lesson students can learn is to write first and edit later Have students write for five minutes about their topics If they can get their ideas down on paper that s 90 of the battle 40 This can help them realize that once they have the ideas down the rest is just fine tuning 微调 Once they have this skill mastered it s easy for them to start adding their own personal voices to their papers A What matters to you B What style is taught in class C When they write about themselves students voices often shine through D Writing letters is a great way for students to explore their writing style E Have your students explore who they are and what makes them unique F Voice is that magical quality which is able to make a creative writing idea sing G After that have them edit these ideas into a really strong introductory paragraph 第三部分第三部分 英语知识运用英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空 共 20 小题 每题 1 5 分 满分 30 分 Tony Tomei was well known in Los Alamos N M for his heroic action when the forest fires swept
