11、of us like the realities of dragging a 7ft Norway Spruce through the house and leaving needles all over the place.If you count yourself among the reluctant group，then it may be time to go fake (假白勺）.After all, buying an artificial Christmas tree needn, t mean accepting defeat. ThereJ s a huge range

12、of options and sizes, including pre-lit trees, which will save you the frustration of trying to string your own lights.Another big bonus of choosing an artificial Christmas tree is cost ： artificial trees can last for decades, so they work out cheaper than paying for a real tree every year. Like now

13、 retailers (零售商）are offering great deals at the moment： at Tesco, there J s 25 percent off artificial Christmas trees. Meanwhile, you can take advantage of the current 3 for 2 offer at Argos to fill your house with not one, not two, but three. You may perhaps partner up with friends who are also loo

14、king to invest.Of course, keep your tree for years and years and it will start to pay you back in terms of carbon footprint; however，a “real” one will always have to be transported，used and dealt with every year.Are there any downsides? Yes. You might think you, re saving the planet, but a fake tree

15、 is actually not an environmentally friendly option. Most are made in factories in Asia, resulting in some serious air miles to reach the UK. They re made from metal and plastic，and many end their lives in landfill.Another problem with a fake tree is that they don t look very naturaland of course yo

19、ting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice a

20、nd not a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自尊). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low se

21、lf-esteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their life. They are leaves tossed (摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever h

22、appens in your life. Losers think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believ

23、e. Thoughts and beliefs cause everything. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success depends upon our level of confidence. We are responsible f

24、or either reinforcing (强化) good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, plan

25、ting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.1、Peop

But what if those native speakers are Dora the Explorer and Diego?It turns out television and radio might be even better tools for new language

30、learners than previously thought. According to two recent studies by Scientific American, it is possible to futher your understanding of a new language without actively practicing or fully paying attention.For starters, research published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America suggests

31、that language learners who focus continuously on learning new sounds keep no more information than those who take occasional breaks. While one group of study participants practiced distinguishing three difficult Hindi sounds for one hour a day over the course of several days, another group alternate

32、ly(交替地) spent 10 minutes on learning and 10 minutes on an intentionally distracting(使人分心的) task as the Hindi sounds played in the background. When tested on the sounds, the distracted group performed just as well as the focused group.And a following study published in the Journal of Memory and Langu

33、age further validates the power of inactive learning. Researchers found that Spanish students learning the Basque accent improved less when they were instructed to repeat sounds back during their training; listening to new sounds silently actually resulted in better memory.So, is it time to lay off

34、your tutor and buy a box set of Cordon Salvaje? Not quite. While this growing body of research suggests inactive language learning is an amazing tool in your language learning, the value of focused practice cannot be ignored. “You need to come to class and pay attention,” says Melissa Baese-Berk, a

35、language expert and co-author of one of the studies, “But when you go home, turn on the TV or turn on the radio in that language while youre cooking dinner, and even if youre not paying total attention to it, its going to help you.”So get out there and learn but not too hard. While youre at it，it wo

39、orty-three years ago my mother went into labour for the second time. It was either very late New Years Day or very early on the second day of 1969 depending on how you looked at it but either way, it was a full week past her due date when my mom woke up knowing it was time to wake my dad up, get dre

40、ssed, pack up the car and head to the hospital. Her regular doctor was on vacation and when they reached the hospital they planned to deliver in were told that the doctor was on his way to another hospital so they should head there, in a neighbouring city. Most surprising to me now is that she felt

41、well enough to attend a New Years party the previous night and stayed long enough to toast in the new year!My mom and her family had immigrated to the United States just twenty years earlier from El Salvador. And that was a lucky thing for me. Not only did my mom gain access to a better education an

42、d career options here in the US for herself, each of her three daughters would also enjoy her access to quality maternity (孕产妇的) care. While the US is hardly the world leader in maternal health or birth outcomes, these days a woman faces a 1 in 2,100 risk of dying during her life and in El Salvador,

43、 its 1 in 350-6 times worse. In 1969, that difference was even greater.However, I was pregnant with my second child in El Salvador six years ago when I realized how very different my life might have turned out if Id lived there when I delivered my first child. I travelled down there with CARE, the h

44、umanitarian relief organization, whose efforts my mom had long supported, to see some of their principal programmes in action. Among them was one in particular that remains with me today. It was a water project where pregnant women, many of whom had walked miles to access this clean water, receive s

45、ome basic care before or after childbirth. Here these women were, facing the exact same physical challenges as me but still carrying the full work load of the family and with little to no resources for information, care, transportation or comfort during or after their pregnancies.By this time, I was

46、 all too aware of what a challenge childbirth could be. After delivering my daughter in 2003, I survived a hemorrhage (大出血), the leading childbirth-related complication that takes the lives of thousands of other mothers all over the world. One girl or woman dies every 90 seconds in pregnancy or chil

47、dbirth from what is in most cases a preventable death. I was as shocked as you are when I discovered this fact but I was also grateful. Grateful because I had been in the care of a team of health workers when I needed them most.I thought of my mothers life. While she had been born in a good hospital

48、 in San Salvador in the 1930s, at that time pregnancy-related deaths were common even in the US. My great grandmother also hemorrhaged, only after delivering her fifth child and she died. Her husband, my moms grandfather was a physician at the time. He would give up practising medicine forever when

49、he couldnt save her.But it wasnt only my mom and her family that I thought of as I considered my own fate and good fortune, it was all those women Id spent the day with in the rural community Id visited with CARE. Wed made a connection that day, we mothers, as women. These women did not have access

50、to the simple interventions (介入) that could insure their survival and thats what concerned me. It did more than concern me, it woke me up and begged this question, why should any one life be of different value than any other?And so, I made the commitment right there and then to do all I could to imp

51、rove maternal health and reduce the number of maternal deaths around the globe.1、The underlined phrase “went into labour” in Paragraph 1 means “_”.Asuffered from a disease Bgave birth to a babyCtook up an offer of work Dtidied up the house2、According to the passage, the writer felt fortunate enough

52、_.Ato enjoy the best maternity care in the worldBto attend better schools in the United StatesCto live in a developed country permanentlyDto have a better sense of maternal security3、When she returned to her motherland six years ago, the writer _.Aregretted not delivering her first child thereBwas v

54、some women5、The writer is obviously determined to _.Abe a physician different from her great grandfatherBchange the situation in the field of maternal healthCrequest more people to care about maternity careDvolunteer care during or after womens pregnancies6、What conclusion does the passage lead you

55、to?APregnancy-related deaths can hardly be kept from happening.BBirth and death went hand in hand with each other very often.CPhysicians failed to save patients from various curable diseases.DWomen would rather have no children for tear of a hemorrhage.25（10分）Every day, Americans throw away 500 mill

56、ion plastic straws, enough to circle the Earth twice. They are almost never recycled, and simply contribute to the great problem of plastic pollution; eight million tons of plastic is dumped into the oceans every year.Plastic straws are now the target of a growing movement to reduce their use. Possi

57、bly the first of such campaigns, Be Straw Free was started in 2011 by Milo Cress, who was only nine years old at the lime.“I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restaurant, it would usually come with a straw in it, and I don I usually need a straw,” he said. “This seemed like a huge waste.

58、Straws are made of oil, a precious and finite resource. Is making single - use plastic straws, which will be used for a matter of minutes before being tossed away, really what we want to do with this resource?”Cress started asking restaurants in Burlington, Vermont, where he lived at the time, to st

59、op providing straws automatically to customer and make them optional instead. Many agreed and his request made ripples (涟漪) nationwide. The restaurants that make the switch report a reduction in the number of straws they use between 50 and 80%.The anti - straw sentiment has crossed borders into the

60、UK, where straws have been included in a government plan to ban ail plastic waste by 2042.Last year large pub chain Wetherspoons announced that it would replace plastic straws with paper alternatives across 900 outlets. After the announcement, many smaller chains and pubs across the country followed
