Through her own efforts, her letter was reproduced on over 250 donated billboards （广告牌） across the country. The response to her request for help was so huge that Poe established Kids For A Cleaner Environment (Kids F.A.C.E.) in 1989. There are now 300,000 members of Kids F.A.C.E worldwide and it is the worlds largest youth environmental organization. Poe has also asked the National Park Service to carry out a “Childrens Forest” project in every national park. In 1992, she was invited as one of only six children in the world to speak at the Earth Summit in Brazil as part of the Voices of the Future Program. In 1993, she was given a Caring Award for her efforts by the Caring Institute. Since the organization started, Kids F.A.C.E. members have distributed and planted over 1 million trees! Ongoing tree-planting projects include Kids Yards the creation of backyard wildlife habitats (栖息地) and now Kids F.A.C.E. is involved in the exciting Earth Odyssey, which is a great way to start helping. “Starting the club turned out to be a way to help people get involved with the environment. Club members started doing things like recycling, picking up litter and planting trees as well as inviting other kids to join their club.” “We try to tell kids that its not OK to be lazy,” she explains. “You need to start being a responsible, environmentally friendly person now, right away, before you become a resource-sucking adult.”21.

Kids are urged to save natural resources.BIf your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, hed better offer you more money to do so or even double that depending on where you live now. Thats because Moscow has just been found to be the worlds most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting. Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment (娱乐). A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month; a CD $24.83, and an international newspaper $6.30, according to Mercer. By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger (汉堡包) is a steal at $4.80. London takes the No. 2 place, up from No. 5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar. Mercer estimates (估算) London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days. Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No. 5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly. Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the worlds most expensive cities. But both have fallen since last years study New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago. San Francisco came in a distant third at No. 54, down 20 places from a year earlier. Toronto, meanwhile, is Canadas most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide. In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No. 21 worldwide.25. What do the underlined words “a steal” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. an act of stealing B. something deliciousC. something very cheap D. an act of buying26. London has become the second most expensive city because of _.A. the high cost of clothing B. the stronger pound against the dollarC. its expensive transportation D. the high prices of fast food meals27. Which city is the third most expensive on the list?A. Tokyo. B. Hong Kong. C. Moscow. D. Sydney.28. Which city has dropped most on the list in North America?A. New York. B. Los Angeles. C. San Francisco. D. Toronto. CWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Todays leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories. In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells (细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs(器官). The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones. It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.29. According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by _.A. diseases and aging B. accidents and warC. accidents and aging D. heart disease and war30. In the authors opinion, todays most important advance in technology lies in _.A. medicine B. the Internet C. brain cells D. human organs31. Humans may live longer in the future because _.A. heart disease will be far away from usB. human brains can decide the final deathC. the basic materials of cells will last foreverD. human organs can be repaired by new medicine32. We can learn from the passage that _.A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the futureB. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells nowC. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer lifeD. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cellsDIceland has energy to spare, and the small country has found a cutting-edge (尖端的) way to reduce its oil dependency. Volcanoes formed the island nation out of ash and lava, which heats huge underground lakes to the boiling point. The hot water is piped into cities providing heat for homes, businesses and even swimming pools. The volcanoes melted ice, which formed rivers. The water runs through turbines, providing all the countrys electricity. Iceland wants to make plans to improve its cars, buses and trucks to run on renewable energy. Iceland has already started by turning water into fuel hydrogen fuel. Heres how it works: Electrodes (电极) change the water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Hydrogen electrons pass through a conductor that creates the current to power an electric engine. Hydrogen fuel now costs two to three times as much as gasoline, but gets up to three times the distance than gas, making the overall cost about the same. As an added benefit, there is no carbon only water steam. In the capital, Reykjavik, they are already testing three hydrogen-powered electric buses. The drivers are impressed. “I like these buses better because with hydrogen you get no pollution,” said bus driver Rognvaldur Jonatanlson. By the middle of this century, all Icelanders will be required to run their cars only on hydrogen fuel, meaning no more gasoline. “If we make hydrogen and use that as a fuel for transportation then we can run the whole society on our own local renewable energy sources,” said Marie Maack. Icelanders are showing the world that by making fuel from water, it is possible to kick the oil habit.33. From Paragraph 1 we may infer that _.A. Iceland lacks natural resources B. volcanoes do more good than harm to Iceland C. Iceland mainly depends on oil for energy D. all the countrys electricity is made from coal 34. The advantage for the cars with hydrogen as fuel is that _.A. the cars are environmentally friendly B. the cars are cheapC. the cars run much faster D. the cars will make useful steam35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Pollution Saying Good-bye to the WorldB. Iceland Becomes a Country Without OilC. Iceland Planning to Use Water as FuelD. Man Able to Kick the Oil Habit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，选项中有两项为多余选项。所选答案涂在答题卡36-40的位置上。When your pet is sick, you know it needs medication.

None of us will calmly sail through our lives in perfect 48 with everyone we meet.
