It was a winter morning just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005 While most people were warming up their cars Trevor my husband had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work On arrival he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does After putting in 10 hours of labor he returned to find his bike gone The bike a black Kona 18 speed was our only transport Trevor used it to get to work putting in 60 hour a week to support his young family And the bike was also used to get groceries saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story Shortly after that several people in our area offered to help One wonderful stranger even bought a bike then called my husband to pick it up Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity 人性 as a whole And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we too can share with others No matter how big or how small an act of kindness shows that someone cares And the results can be everlasting 5 Why was the bike so important to the couple A The man s job was bike racing B They used it for work and daily life C It was a nice Kona 18 speed D It was their only possession 6 We can infer from the text that A life was hard for the young family B people were busy before Christmas C the stranger brought over the bike D the couple worked 60 hours a week 3 7 How did people get to know the couple s problem A From a newspaper B From radio broadcasts C From TV news D From a stranger 8 What do the couple learn from their experience A Strangers are usually of little help B One should take care of their bike C An act of kindness can mean a lot D News reports make people famous C Going green seems to be a fad 时尚 for a lot of people these days Whether that is good or bad we can t really say but for the 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 the 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 lifestyles 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 9 What might be the best title for the passage A Keeping Open Minded B Protecting the Planet C Going Green D Celebrating Our Green Year 10 It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because 4 A they were expected to follow the green fad B they needed to perform unusual green tasks C they were unwilling to reduce their energy D they didn t know how to educate other people 11 What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year A They sold their home made food B They ignored others ungreen behavior C They chose better chemical cleaners D They tried to get out of their ungreen habits 12 What can we infer from the last paragraph A The couple may continue their project in the future B The government will give support to the green project C Some people disagree with the couple s green ideas D Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign D Would it surprise you to learn that like animals trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest Simard shows just how wrong he was In fact the opposite is true trees survive through their co operation and support passing around necessary nutrition depending on who needs it Nitrogen 氮 and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi 真菌 networks making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons 神经元 in our brains and when one tree is destroyed it affects all Simard talks about mother trees usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow When humans cut down mother trees with no awareness of these highly complex tree societies or the networks on which they feed we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest We didn t take any notice of it Simard says sadly Dying trees 5 move nutrition into the young trees before dying but we never give them chance If we could put across the message to the forestry industry we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future 13 The underlined sentence the opposite is true in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees A compete for survival B depend on each other C protect their own wealth D provide support for dying trees 14 Mother trees are extremely important because they A look the largest in size in the forest B know more about the complex tree societies C seem more likely to be cut down by humans D pass on nutrition to young trees 15 The underlined word it in the last paragraph refers to A how forestry industry develops B how trees grow old C how tree societies work D how young trees survive 第二节 共第二节 共 5 5 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 2 分 满分分 满分 1010 分 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 选项中有两根据短文内容 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项 选项中有两 项为多余选项 项为多余选项
