(A)

The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing.Since 2009,a new form of sharing economy has been emerging in neighborhoods throughout the US and around the world—Little Free Libraries.The libraries are boxes placed in neighborhoods from which residents can withdraw and deposit books.Little Free Libraries come in all shapes and sizes.Some libraries also have themes,focusing on books for children,adults,or tour guides.

In 2009,Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library as a gift to his mother,who was a devoted reader.When he saw the people of his community gathering around it,exchanging conversations as well as books,he knew he wanted to take his simple idea further.“I think Little Free Libraries open the door to conversations we want to have with each other.” Bol said.

Since then,his idea has become a movement,spreading from state to state and country to country.According to https://www.360docs.net/doc/d29769401.html,,there are now 18,000 of the little structures around the world,located in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe,Africa and Asia.

The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries.But an Atlantic article says the little structures serve as a cure for a world of e-reader downloads.The little wooden boxes are refreshingly physical and human.For many people,the sense of discovery is Little Free Libraries’main appeal.“A girl walking home from school might pick up a graphic novel that gets her excited about reading;a man on his way to the bus stop might find a volume of poetry that changes his outlook on life,”says the Atlantic article.“Every book is a potential source of inspiration.”

The earth provides us with almost everything that we need to eat,sleep,work and entertain.To do all this,we use the earth’s resources.Becaus e some of us have more buying power,they end up using more resources than they usually need.At the same time,we also create a great deal of waste and pollution.So we also need to think about how much land we use to deal with that waste.Then two things happen:first,large

numbers of the world’s population get much less resources than they need to live;second,the earth is damaged.

The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints.They show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not.Because a few people eat up most of the earth’s resources,the majority have to bear the consequences—like pollution.This is the ecological footprints that the earth keeps in its memory.

Some years ago,a famous expert,called William Rees,developed this idea of the ecological footprints.Today,this idea has become like a magnifying glass (放大镜).It allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape.Once the earth goes out of shape,there is no hope for human beings.

Countries like the United States and Canada have big ecological footprints.Rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a Canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce.India has a footprint of 0.4.This means that the energy and materials consumed by an Indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce.But if we look more carefully,we will find that even within India,the footprints of the city Indian are much larger than the rural Indian.

28.Which of the following is the best title for this text?()

A.Footprints on the earth

B.How to protect the earth

C.Footprints of wild animals

D.How to reduce pollution on the earth

29.Our footprints on the earth refer to .

A.the cities we build

B.the cultures we create

C.the marks we leave on roads behind us

D.the resources we use and the waste we produce

30.According to the text,rich people .

A.should give more money to the poor

B.are using too many resources

C.are helping the poor to live better lives

D.should live in rural areas with the poor

31.We learn from the text that Rees .

A.put forward the idea of the ecological footprints

B.thought highly of the United States and Canada

C.thought India was an extremely poor country

D.thought rich people made great contributions to society

(D)

Birds learn how to fly much like a human baby learns to walk:a combination of instinct (本能)and practice.Not all birds are instinctive flyers,however.Flightless birds,such as penguins and ostriches (鸵鸟),no longer have the instinct to imitate their cousins.The newborn of bird species that can fly,such as pigeons and hummingbirds,have a sense that it is a natural https://www.360docs.net/doc/d29769401.html,pare this to a human baby who instinctively understands that standing upright is a natural goal to achieve.

Most birds cannot fly until their muscle structure has had time to develop.At that time,a nest is their entire world.Baby birds are not responsible for food gathering or protection of their nest,so they develop psychological dependence.Parent birds begin to teach their baby birds the importance of flying by remaining a short distance away from the nest during feeding.If the young birds are to survive,they must step away from the nest.Frequently,this means a few hard falls to the ground followed by a long trip back to the safety of the nest.

All practice,awkward as it may seem,does teach the baby birds about the mechanics of flight.Falls to the ground become more controlled as the young bird stretches out its wings,and short jumps back to the nest become longer flight.Parent birds continue to encourage them to leave the nest for longer periods of time.Some species even adopt a tough love policy,leaving the baby birds alone to develop their own instincts.

After a few weeks of practice and imitation,young birds learn more advanced flying techniques:how to use the wind for lift and how to make controlled landings.Eventually,all of these become instinctive and young birds can start families of their own.

For birds,flying is a demanding exercise.Fortunately,many birds have air sacs (气囊)that act as human lungs,and each breath a bird takes is much more concentrated than humans’ breath.Birds also have very well-developed pectoral (胸部的)muscles for constant wing movement and a strong heart for endurance.Most birds are actually swimming through the air,using the weight of the air beneath them to keep themselves in the air.

32.What birds and human babies have in common is that they.

A.have to learn new things to survive

B.are born with some kind of instinct

C.have many goals to achieve

D.like to imitate their cousins as they grow

33.Why do parent birds stay a short distance away from the nest during feeding?()

A.To let baby birds know flying is important.

B.To make baby birds more independent.

C.To develop baby birds’ muscle structure.

D.To make baby birds become brave.

34.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?()

A.Body structure that helps birds fly.

B.The similarity between birds and humans.

C.Difficulties birds might meet when they fly.

D.The advantages birds have when they fly.

35.What would be the best title for the passage?()

A.Practice makes perfect

B.How do birds learn how to fly?

C.Birds have an instinct for survival

D.Why do some birds adopt a tough love policy?

One possible version:

Recently,we had a discussion on how to make learning English relaxing and fun.Most students believe that there are many ways to do so.First of all,we can have more interactive activities in class,such as discussions,interviews,story-telling

and role-play.In this way,we can have more fun learning English.Secondly,we can go to some after-school activities,such as English parties,speeches and so on.Thirdly,we need to find more opportunities to communicate in English with people,whether they are English teachers or classmates,foreigners or Chinese,because using English is the best way to learn.

These ideas sound reasonable and practical.From my experience,there are many other interesting and relaxing ways.For example,we can listen to English songs and watch English movies.We can also watch English programs on TV or join English clubs or make English pen friends on the Internet.

All in all,what we need is more free time and more space.
