Bradley McConachie，a 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University．He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Beijing University two years ago．Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project，“I'm in China”．Bradley was lucky to win the most“likes”for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer．All the winners’ experie nces were filmed to produce a reality show，My Chinese Working Day，which will be broadcast by mid-September．

My Side of the Mountain is a novel about a boy called Sam Gribley. 14-year-old Sam Gribley lives in his family's crowded New York apartment. Unsatisfied with the situation, Sam plans to run away to his great-grandfather's abandoned（废弃的）farm in

the woods near the small town of Delhi.

Sam's father allows it. He strongly believes Sam will come back once he realizes what it's like———to live without things like electricity and running Water.

Then a bus takes Sam to Delhi. Sam uses fire to enlarge a tree's inside and makes it his home. To seek food, he makes traps. While checking his traps，Sam spots a falcon（猎鹰）hunting for animals. Wanting a falcon to help hunt, Sam studies falconry at the town's library. He camps for days to ferret out the falcon's nest. After finally piecing together its location, he steals a baby falcon and manages to train it to hunt for him. As winter approaches, Sam kills a deer for its skin and roasts deer meat for food.

Spring arrives. Matt, a teenager reporter, arrives at Sam's treehouse. Matt wants to write about Sam's life on the Gribley farm and spends a week with Sam. Matt is very excited to be there while Sam is suddenly sad. Matt's coming reminds him too much of life in New York City. There are his close friends and family members who were once around him, accompanying him, listening to him and talking to him.

In June, Sam's father announces that the entire family is moving to the farm. Sam is happy but also upset. It is the end of freedom.

My Side of the Mountain is called "a pleasant flight from civilization (文明社会)，written with real feeling for the woods". By 1998, the book had been translated into numerous foreign languages, and visitors to Delhi often ask to see the farm where the novel is set.

Organic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.

There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides. In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.

Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.

Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria (病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.

Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.

32. What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?

A. Freshness.

B. Price.

C. Safety.

D. Variety.

33. What is the doctors' suggestion?

A. Grow your own food.

B. Reduce the use of pesticides.

C. Buy large companies' products.

D. Make sure the food is clean.

34. Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?

A. It is more nutritious.

B. It is easier to grow.

C. It contains more fat.

D. It tastes better.

35. Where does this text probably come from?

A. A recipe book.

B. A health magazine.

C. A medical report.

D. A chemistry paper.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Saving the environment is a hot topic right now, and most companies are thinking of ways to "go green", that is, to reduce pollution and save electricity. 36

How do you reduce energy use in your home? How do you make your home eco-friendly ?

37 "Green"houses look similar to the houses we live in today, with a few noticeable differences. They have solar panels on the roofs or have some kind of wind power to produce their own electricity. On sunny or windy days when the house is not used，power is produced and stored in batteries（电池）for later use at night, while extra power is fed back into the power grid to make money. Imagine getting paid by the power company instead of paying the company. 38

One of the main reasons that we use so much power in our homes is to heat or cool them. “Green" houses are very well insulated (隔热的)，keeping the temperature inside fixed. 39 Obviously, the appliances (家用电器) used inside our houses must also be“green”to limit the energy they use and the waste heat hey send out.

40 This way, they can reduce the burden (负担) on the environment for raw

materials (原材料). You can paint your next house whatever color you like, but make sure it is “green".

A. Used plastic, paper, and rubber are included.

B. The answer might be to build a“green”house.

C. Most importantly, solar energy or wind power is clean energy.

D. Finally, “green" houses are built largely from used materials.

E. Not only large buildings but also small famil y houses are“green”.

F. In the construction industry, this practice is also becoming popular.

G. As a result, we can reduce the need for a lot of power to heat or cool them.

I could smell the turkey cooking, even in the attic(阁楼) where I was hiding out. I heard a laugh, too, and a bang from something being dropped. Our house was noisier since my new stepsister（继母）and stepmother moved in—Jen and Mom.

I called her Mom, but the word felt uncomfortable, like a pair of shoes that pinched （夹脚）.I didn't remember my own mother; she had died in an accident when I was a baby. It had always been just Dad and me. We were a team. Now, so much had changed, and sometimes I wished I had the magic to change it back.

I heard Dad's footsteps upstairs. "Do you want to take Jen skating（滑雪）?" he asked.

“I guess.“ I sighed, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent Thanksgiving Day building a big snowman. But this year, Dad was too busy helping Mom cook the turkey （火鸡）.

“Thanks," Dad said and put his arm around my shoulders. "We'll make that snowman later，” he promised.

“Yeah,” I agreed, not too sure we’d have time.

Mom handed us some homemade cookies with smiling faces as we grabbed（拿起）our skates（滑雪板）. I had to admit, Mom came up with good ideas sometimes. Even though I liked that, I still couldn't help but feel as if she were changing everything.

“No, thanks. I'm not hungry," I said, although I was, a little.

“Ready?" I asked Jen. She nodded, and we headed out the front door.

The snow crunched（吱吱作响）under our boots as we walked down the street. The silence was awkward. "Did you go skating a lot last year?" I asked, blurting（脱口而出）out the first thing that came to my mind.

Jen sh ook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom

and I always went to visit some friends on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”

Until then, I'd never even thought about how Jen must be feeling. She not only had a new stepfather and stepbrother; she had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake, and she'd had to move up north with us. She'd had more changes than me.

Suddenly, I didn't feel quite so sorry for myself.______________________________

We were so busy making the snow turkey that we didn't hear our parents come outside. _______________________________________________________________________

Dear friends,

How time flies! My name is Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union. I am more than glad to have the chance to speak here.

With our exchange program drawing to the end, all of us present, I believe, have a sense of attachment, since we have got so much from the activity. During the course, we experienced and shared a variety of differences between British cultures and Chinese cultures. Besides, the classroom witnessed our hard work and heated discussions, the dormitory heard our interesting and thrilling bedtime chats, and the playground tasted the joy of our competitions. Not only have we strengthened our friendship, but we also have extended our eyesight for the two weeks. The last thing that I want to say is that I still remember the teapots you created in the talent show. They are amazing.

So, on behalf of our school, I want to tell you, my dear friends, that this is just the beginning of our friendship. We believe that this friendship will continue to grow in the future. Parting is such sweet sorrow, happy to meet, sorry to depart, and happy to meet

again.

Welcome you to come to our school again. Thank you.

Suddenly, I didn’t feel quite so sorry for myself. She seemed sad, now that I'd taken the time to notice. I decided to do something to cheer her up. I have a better idea," I said enthusiastically. “Come on一le t’s start back. “OK," agreed Jen, and a little smile caught at the corner of her mouth. Ten minutes later, Jen and I put our skates on the front porch, and I told her we can make a big snow turkey. “This is going to be great,” Jen said, grinning at me with rosy cheeks.

We were so busy making the snow turkey that we didn't hear our parents come outside. "It's the biggest snow turkey I've ever seen.” said Mom with a grin. A moment later, we were all busy working on our giant creation. When our snow turkey was finished, Mom said to me, “Thanks for cheering Jen up. You're a good brother, and you come up with great ideas.”A happy feeling spread through me. I said, “I guess we make a good team.”The snow turkey helped me remember that everything could still work out even if it had to change.
