People say that one man cant make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw (人力车) driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean very much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a small forest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree every day. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also waters them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them.Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy commissioners office. They have no land of their own.Sometimes, she commands him not to plant trees but he doesnt listen. Abduls 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.Abduls neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1,253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star wished everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.“I cant do it alone. I need the help of you all,” Abdul said in his speech.24. What do we know about Abdul?A. He doesnt support his family. B. He makes a living by doing different jobs.C. He plants trees with his own money. D. He plants trees to win his neighbors praise.25. Why does Abdul plant trees on government land?A. To protect them from being cut down. B. To set a good example to people.C. To get money from government. D. To get a place from government to build his own house.26. Which of the following can best describe Abdul?A. Poor but helpful. B. Rich and reliable.C. Uncaring and stupid.D. Active but dishonest.27. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Driving a rickshaw.B. Building a better home.C. Making big money.D. Planting trees.CMost people say that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are not always there. They are only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems.Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways, to make new friends again.This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.28. In most peoples opinion, the majority of people probably have _.A. 400 internet friends in their whole livesB. Over 400 friends in their whole livesC. 150 internet friends at a certain stageD. 30 friends or fewer at a certain stage29. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?A. People with different views can become friends.B. Friendships mean different things to different people.C. Some people would die for their friends if they need to.D. There is a rule about making friends.30. We can learn from the last paragraph that most of us _.A. build friendships late in life B. need to be with othersC. are dissatisfied with our friends D. are frightened to talk to people31. What is the authors attitude towards talking to a stranger?A. Uninterested. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Uncertain.DHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environmentsmostly for entertainment purposesis fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim(声称) to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range (分布区). The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy（隐私） and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain. Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Havent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.32. In the state of zoochosis, animals _A. remain in cagesB. behave strangely C. attack other animals D. enjoy moving around33. What does the author try to argue in the passage?A. Zoos are not worth the public support.B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.34. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _.A. discussing the advantages of natural habitatsB. using evidence he has collected at zoosC. questioning the way animals are protectedD. pointing out the faults in what zoos do35. Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _.A. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD. its acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats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。As a child grows up, you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult. 36 A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others in kind, but also learns to respect himself.Show him respect.This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.37The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.Agree to disagree.38 Explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesnt necessarily mean rudeness.Control your anger.When a situation arises, stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 39Praise, praise, praise!So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that his achievements are not celebrated enough. 40A. Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.B. Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.C. Try to remember that a child wont always agree with you.D.
