A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (12分)

We talked about what low-carbon (低碳) lifestyle was last week. Our article attracted quite a few people’s attention, especially government officials, teenage students and white-collar (白领) workers. So in today’s article, we’re going to introduce some of our readers’letters. Let’s see what ways they choose to reduce their carbon footprints (碳足迹).

My name is Zheng Xiyu. I’m a secretary. Every day, it takes me

roughly 40 minutes to reach my office by bus. But I’m now thinking

of switching to a different mode of transportation --- a bicycle.

Although riding a bicycle takes 10 more minutes than using public

transportation, it’s more convenient and environmental friendly. It’s

also good exercise for me.

I’m Li Lin and work as a professor in a university. I think I’m a

champion of the low-carbon lifestyle. My office uses energy-saving

lights, which are turned off automatically when not needed. In addition,

I always make sure that the air conditioning system is turned off when I

leave the office. All these ways can greatly reduce electricity

consumption. Another way to save energy is to double print the paper,

which will save about one ton of paper per year.

I’m Lin Hui, a website designer. I always select products with longer

shelf life(保质期) when I go shopping. This is to reduce waste and

greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2. Back in my office, I work for an

environmental website which was set up by my friends and me two

years ago. It provides all kinds of information about low-carbon lifestyle

such as environmental policies besides tips on how to save energy.

( )1. From the introductory paragraph, we can know that ________.

A) the last article was about different lifestyles

B) few people showed interest in the last article

C) more people are following a low-carbon lifestyle

D) people are competing to be the green champion

( )2. The underlined phrase “switching to” means ________.

1.A) getting used to B) changing to C) finding out D) picking out ( )3 Zheng Xiyu will spend ________ minutes on her way to the office if she rides a bike.

A) 10 B) 30 C) 40 D) 50

( )4. The underlined word “this” refers to ________.

A) Buying long shelf-life products B) Going shopping online

C) Setting up a website D) Providing tips on how to save energy ( )5. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A) Zheng Xiyu thinks riding a bicycle to work is good for the environment.

B) Li Lin thinks that reducing electricity consumption is a good way to save energy.

C) Li Hui thinks that choosing products with longer shelf life can reduce waste and

CO2.

D) We can’t find any suggestions on how to save energy on Li Hui’s website.

( )6. We can probably read the passage in a(n) ________.

A) advertisement B) newspaper C) fashion magazine D) story book

B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage（选择最恰当的选项完成短文)（12分）

Once there was a boy named Jack. He loved winning more than

anything else. In order to win in everything, he had become an expert in

all kinds of cheating. Every time Jack could win without being caught.

Jack won so many times that everyone saw him as the champion.

As a result, almost no one wanted to 1 with him. One person who

did play with him was a poor boy. Jack really enjoyed beating the poor boy each time.

But soon Jack was 2 all this. He needed something more, so he took part in the national video games competition. At the competition, he was keen to show his skills but, when he tried using all his tricks, 3 of them worked. The competition judges had prevented any of the tricks from working.

Jack felt quite 4 : he was a good player, but without his tricks, he couldn’t beat a single player. He was soon eliminated (淘汰), and sat there, sad and deep in 5 . Finally, the winner was announced. It was the poor boy --- the one he had always beaten!

Jack realized that the poor boy had been much cleverer than himself. He learned from each of his defeats(失败), which provided him with much learning experience. It helped him to become a national champion.

From then on, Jack 6 changed himself, which surprised everyone around him. He no longer pursued success. He was quite happy to lose sometimes, because it was when he could learn from his failures.

( )1. A) share B) argue C) compete D) communicate ( )2. A) familiar with B) bored with C) proud of D) ready for

( )3. A) none B) all C) some D) many

( )4. A) angry B) happy C) excited D) embarrassed ( )5. A) surprise B) thought C) danger D) trouble

( )6. A) completely B) quietly C) easily D) hardly

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的

词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)（14分）

Soon, it will be easier to share your selfie (自拍) on Mount Fuji,

Japan’s tallest mountain. Staff are installing (安装) free Wi-Fi on the

mountain.

The Wi-Fi connection is designed to keep climbers s 1 .

People can stay connected when they climb up or down the mountain.

They can also check out weather warnings and get prepared for bad

weather. Free Wi-Fi also e 2 people to call for help when their mobile phones fail to work.

In fact, Mount Fuji is not the f 3 place in the world to have Wi-Fi. Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰) has had Wi-Fi since 2010. A company installed hotpots(无线热点) on it. The highest hotpot on the mountain is about 17,000 feet up. It is at the last base camp before they

make their last j 4 for the top. It is probably the highest hotpot in the world.

One of the coldest places on earth has Wi-Fi as well. The North Pole has had connection to the Internet since 2005. But in fact, it is very difficult for computers to work in such a freezing place and actually n 5 there has much of the time to use Wi-Fi.

An Israeli (以色列的) theme park called Kfar Kedem has the cutest Wi-Fi routers (无线路由器) in the world. Donkeys (驴) carry Wi-Fi hotpots around. The park s 6 people what life was like in Galilee 2,000 years ago, such as how to make traditional food and milk goats, but people can also experience the modern technology of free Wi-Fi in the park.

The International Space Station has the most distant (遥远的) Wi-Fi connection in the world. The crew don’t use the Internet connection d 7 . Instead, they connect to a computer on the ground and remotely control it. They can use it to send tweets.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)

I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on Christmas Day. It

was always quiet in the emergency room on this day, so I was not

expecting any patients. When I was complaining about working on

such a beautiful festival, five people showed up at my desk --- a pale

woman and four small children. “Are you all sick?”I asked

suspiciously (怀疑地) because they seemed all right.

“Yes,” the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.

But when they started to present their problems, things got a little vague(模糊的). The children had earaches, but they couldn’t tell me which ear was in pain. The mother complained of a cough, but she seemed to be pretending.

Something was wrong. I didn’t say anything but explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please,” the mother responded. On a hunch (出于直觉), I checked their charts (记录)--- no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless and the hospital was warm.

I looked out at the family, huddling together under the Christmas tree, smiling and chatting with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses’ station and told them that we had a homeless family in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. We took out our meals for our Christmas “patients”. We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We worked hard to exceed (超过) the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas Day.

Later, when the family was leaving, the 4-year-old girl ran back and gave me a kiss. “Thanks for ________________ today,” she whispered in my ear.

1. The author was unhappy to work on Christmas Day, wasn’t she?

____, _____________________________

2. How did the author know that the family were homeless?

__________________________.

3. Why did the family pretend to be sick?

__________________________.

4. What did the nurses on duty do for the family?

__________________________.

5. What might the 4-year-old girl say to the author?

She might say, “Thanks for ______________________________ today.”

6. What do you think of the author? Give your reason.

_________________________________________________.
