Since April 28, Coles Bays population of 175 and its tourist shoppers have been using reusable paper or cloth bags to carry their shopping. Ben Keamey, a local businessman who supports the bag ban, said it would cut the amount of waste and prevent damage to native wildlife that try to eat the plastic. Most businesses here come from the tourism and thats all based on the environment, so people were pretty supportive, he said. Every year Australians use more than six billion plastic bags. More than half of these come from the supermarket. Since it takes years for the bags to biodegrade(生物递减分解), tens of millions end up polluting the environment. They kill about 100, 000 sea-birds and animals, which mistake bags for food, every year. Only in the past few months have major Australian supermarkets begun cutting on their use of plastic bags. Environmental groups are pushing for a plastic bag fee like that in Ireland. There, since plastic bags cost 10 pence (about 1 yuan) each, their use has been cut by 90 per cent. Pollution caused by plastic bags is a big headache for countries all over the world. As early as 1999, Beijing said that only plastic bags of certain thickness could be used. This was to encourage them to be used again and again, since an average of six million plastic bags are used there every single day. 51. Which might be the best title for this passage? A. Deadly Plastic Bags B. The End of Plastic Bags C. How to Reuse Plastic Bags D. The Present Situation of Plastic Bags52. Plastic bags will not be used by the native people of Coles Bay because they_. A. cause the environmental pollution B. are not easy to be reused C. are not as good as cloth bags D. are not strong enough53. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Plastic bags kill many animals in Australia each year. B. Most Australian supermarkets have begun cutting on their use of plastic bags. C. People at Coles Bay think poor environment may affect their tourism. D. You have to pay for the plastic bags if you go shopping in Ireland.54. The example of Coles Bay is to show that_. A. people take serious actions to deal with the plastic bag problem B. people begin to realise the harm of using plastic bags C. Australia is the first country in solving the plastic bag problem D. Australians are aware of the importance of protecting the small town55. Which of the following measures on plastic bags is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. To forbid to use them by law. B. To charge fee for plastic bags. C. To make them thick enough to be reusable. D. To make them environmentally friendly.B Can a person make it rain? Many people believed that Charles Hatfield could. In the early 1900s, Mr. Hatfield traveled through the United States, Canada, and Mexico bringing rain to farms and cities that suffered from drought. For 30 years, people considered him the greatest rainmaker in North America. In order to make it rain, he used a secret mixture of chemicals that he placed high on wooden towers in special trays(盘). As the chemicals evaporated(蒸发), they attracted rain clouds to the area. Over his career, Mr. Hatfield even offered to help clear the fog from London and to water the Sahara Desert. One of Mr. Hatfields most amazing rainmaking accomplishments happened in southern California in 1916. Because he knew that the city of San Diego did not have enough water, Mr. Hatfield offered to give the city a hand with its water problem. He planned to create enough rain to fill the lake behind Morena Dam near the city. Since the time the dam was built, the lake had never been more than half full, but the lake could hold 57 billion liters of water if it were full. Filling the lake would help the city of San Diego with its constant water problems. Mr. Hatfield suggested that if he succeeded in filling the lake with rain water, the city would pay him $10,000. If no rain fell, the city would pay nothing. The city agreed because they had nothing to lose from the business deal, and only paying $10,000 for that much water seemed to be a steal. On January 1, 1916, Mr. Hatfield began his rainmaking procedure. It began to rain four days later The rain continued for the next five days. On January 10, it began to rain more heavily, and the rain continued for the next 10 days! The city of San Diego was flooded. Fifty people died. More than 200 bridges were washed away, and many miles of train tracks were destroyed. However, Mr. Hatfield did succeed in filling the lake. The water was within 12 centimeters of the top of the dam. Mr. Hatfield thought that he had completed his job, so he went to collect his money from the city. However, the city of San Diego backed out of the deal. They said that the rain was an act of God and not the work of the rainmaker. Mr. Hatfield tried to sue the city, but he never collected any money for his work.56. Charles Hatfield was _.A. a man who made a lot of money B. a man who sold waterC. a man who made rain D. a man who traveled a lot57.What made the rain?A. chemicals B. a dam C. a deal D. fog58.What happened when it rained in San Diego in 1916?A.

B. the rain was an act of God.C. the city was destroyed D. people died.CYouve got a problem. Youre going to go to university in a different town and you need somewhere to live. Or perhaps you just dont get on with your parents. What can you do? Have you ever thought of sharing a flat? I know all about it because Ive been sharing flats for the past four years, since I moved to Edinburgh to study. I must admit my first experience was a bit of a disaster. I saw an advert in the newspaper from a girl who had a flat and was looking for a flat mate. When I met her, she seemed really nice, and I noticed that she had lots of great CDs I wanted to hear and a big TV. However, I changed my mind about her a few days after I moved in. I came home from college one day and threw my books and jacket onto the living room sofa. My flat mate looked at them, looked at me and shouted: I hope youre not going to leave those there! It was then I found out that she was absolutely obsessive(着魔似的) about being tidy. It was obvious that we were incompatible（合不来）, as Im definitely not the worlds tidiest person. I moved out after the first month. I then decided to try sharing a house with several people. I rented a room in a big old house, which I shared with four other girls (two Brazilians，a Russian, and an Italian). It was great because the house was always full of young people from all over the world and we had lots of parties. However, there were three problems. Firstly, it was almost impossible to do any work because the house was so noisy. Secondly, there was only one bathroom, and there was always someone in it, especially first thing in the morning when I was already late for class. But the biggest arguments we had were always the day the phone bill arrived! After a year the foreign girls went home, and I decided to look for a new, preferably quieter flat! This time I decided to share with a friend, somebody I already knew well. Weve been living here now for nearly a year and we get on really well - except for her irritating(气人的) habits of eating my yogurts(milk) and finishing the coffee! But its great having someone else to help pay the rent, to share their dinner with you when youre too exhausted to cook, and who, unlike your parents or your partner, doesnt mind what time you get up or if youve left your bedroom in a mess. And best of all, when youve had a bad day or youve broken up with your boyfriend you know theres always someone to talk to.61. Why did the writer move out again from the big old house? A. Because she couldnt do any homework due to the noise. B. Because she was always late when she lived there. C. Because she always left the room in a mess. D. Because the foreign girls had left.62. What does the underlined partner mean? A. Friend. B. Roommate. C. Husband/Wife. D. Parent.63. We can know from the passage that A. the writer is a college student B. the writer is a foreigner C. the writer cant get along well with others D. the writer doesnt like to live with her friend64. What is the intention of the author? A. To persuade the reader not to share a flat. B. To tell us how to get along well with the flat mate. C. To show her opinion about sharing a fiat. D. To tell us the university life.65. What is the attitude of the writer towards flat-sharing? A. She is against it. B. She is for it. C. She is upset with it. D. She is worried about it.第二节：信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息，请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读下列的应用文：A. DETECTIVES ABROAD Read about the lives of real detectives.
