The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of, certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the worlds ecological balance.On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the areas birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species that depend on the trees flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many special are quickly dying out.On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the worlds groundwater.Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the worldH climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.24.What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques.B. It slows down the loss of shade trees.C. It leads to air pollution and global warming.D. It improves local soil conditions.25. The purpose of the text is to _ .A. entertain B. persuade C. instruct D. advertise26. Where does this text probably come from?A. A tourist guide. B. A medical journal.C. An engineering textbook. D. An agricultural magazine.27. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?CWhat is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shops scent （香味）may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via(通过) scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers intention to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Paris, scent is just as important to a brands success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience from what it used to be.Some years ago, the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants disproving attitude and dont-touch-what-you-cant-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now, a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut(椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the stores windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.28. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand stores?A. Friendly assistants. B. Attractive window display.C. Soft background music. D. Unique scents.29. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _.A. urge shop assistants to change their attitudeB. show the advantages of bricks-and-mortar storesC. push stores to use sights and soundsD. introduce the rise of e-commerce30. The underlined word destination in Paragraph 5 means _.A. a platform that exhibits goods B. a place where customers love to goC. a spot where travelers like to stay D. a target that a store expects to meet31. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. inform and explain B. examine and assessC. argue and discuss D. compare and evaluateDAs has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take direct action, even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) .Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say.We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an acceptable report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.32. We can learn from the first paragraph that_.A. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farmsB. energy policy catches much attention of the publicC. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidiesD. the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents33. Supporters think that the expansion of wind power_.A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based powerB. guarantees an increase in energy outputC. agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generationD. is expected to be much better than that of nuclear power34. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. an official report will settle the energy problemB. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against factsC. the two parties have agreed on a further negotiationD. the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms35. Which of the following reflects the authors opinion?A. Let the nation judge the facts about wind power.B. Release a statement of supporters on wind farms.C. Increase political impact on energy policy.D. Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions.第二节、七选五阅读填空（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。The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. 36 Some people are compulsive(难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.37 Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but its more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they dont need. Even though they dont have enough money, they buy everything they want.The question is: why do they have this addiction? There isnt a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. 38Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can bring out problems. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. 39 They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they dont have. 40A. Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of.B. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.C. Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity.D. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt(破产) and get sent to prison.E. It can also cause financial problems.F. However, in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.G. People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to amuse themselves.第三部分、语言知识运用（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was the fool at school，regarded as a special needs student.
