Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people change their attention and keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping. Why should I be the one? Im probably not the most competent（有能力的） person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. What if he doesnt really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. No one else looks concerned-this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you dont have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes its just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, It looks like we should do something. Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.”21Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?AIm not the very person capable of setting the problem.BIt looks like we should do something.CIt must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.DHe doesnt really need my help.22According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?AThey will call for help and then walk away.BThey will stop and offer help.CThey will turn away their eyes and go on walking.DThey will laugh at him.23We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble, Awe should call the ambulance as soon as we can.Bwe should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone.Cwe should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow.Dwe should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility24The main purpose of the text is to tell readers Ato give others a handBto be more competentCnot to risk looking foolish Dto stop and evaluate the situationBSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment . “We didnt know at that time that there was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it, ”says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA. But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement . Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times, ”says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day. According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10. 3 million tons a year to 5. 5 tons . The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 . Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place . A kind of “Green thinking ” has become part of practices . Great improvement has been achieved . In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6, 600 . Advanced lights , motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution . Twenty five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment . Today , its hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program . ” Until we do that , nothing else will change! ” say Bruce Anderson . 25. According to Anderson , before 1970, Americans had little idea about _A . the social movement B . recycling techniquesC. environmental problems D. the importance of Earth Day 26 Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A. The grass roots level B. The business circle C. Government officials D. University professors 27 What have Americans achieved in environmental protection ?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest B. They have settled their environmental problems C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities. D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures . 28. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph ?A. Education B. Planning C. Green living D.

Unfortunately, the same mental power that tells us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that “someday” never actually arrives. John Lennon once said, “Life is whats happening while were busy making other plans.” When were busy making “other plans”, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. 38 Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal (带妆彩排) for some later date. It isnt. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. 39 Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future we wont have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever. 40 Practice keeping your attention on the present. Your efforts will pay off.A. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds.B. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless.C. Tomorrow is a mystery, yesterday is a history, only today is a gift, and that is why we call today is the present.D. Most of us are used to resting hope on future, ignoring the present moment.E. Living in the present moment is where you are always, regardless of what happened yesterday, and what may or may not happen tomorrow.F. In short, we miss a lot in life.G. To get over fear, the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present.第三部分 语音知识运用（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、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。When I came to my new school three years ago, I was surprised at how lonely I felt.
