You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and

street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving (节能) policemen?

A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioning (空调) no cooler than 26 ℃.

"If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That's one-third of all the usage of the city in the season," said a TV advertisement.

Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing's steps in setting up a similar police team.

From 1986 to 2005, China met 20 warm winters. It means that Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving the environmental problems every year.

At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy usage by 20％and increase renewable energy up to 10％from 7％by 2010.

To introduce a green life to the public, Beijing also held a show on energy-saving technology and productions last week. It attracted lots of attention.

"We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find right ways to do it in our daily lives," said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.

36. The job of the energy-saving policemen is ___________.

A. to set the air conditioning cooler

B. to check the use of energy in public places

C. to stop people using air conditioning

D. to make sure that more energy will be produced

37. Beijing will use ___________ million kilowatt-hours electricity in one summer.

A. 1200

B. 800

C. 400

D. 133

38. Which of the following years' winters were all warm in China?

A. 1984-1988.

B. 1999-2003.

C. 2002-2006.

D. 2005-2009.

39. According to Liu Qianguang, ___________.

A. there are few ways to protect the environment

B. it's difficult to find good ways to save energy

C. it's easy for one to do something good for the environment

D. it's not easy for one to do something good for the environment

A.20%

D.17%

We humans live in different parts of the world, but we have the same ―mother‖. She gives us everything we need in our daily life. She is our Mother Earth.

April 22 is Earth Day. The theme of this year is ―Green Cities‖.

A green city is a healthy and pleasant place for people to live, according to the United Nations.

A green city can get its energy from regenerative sources like solar (太阳能的) and wind power. Also, it is connected by clean public transportation. Moreover, a green city is made up of facilities (设施) that can save energy and reduce waste.

Around the world, many cities and countries have done well to build themselves in a green

way. Chicago is well known for its green roof (屋顶) program. These roofs are covered with plants. The plants get a great amount of rainwater. Later, the water evaporates (蒸发) to help make the air cool and clean. So far, there are about 360 green roofs in Chicago, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Curitiba, Brazil, has great transportation(运输). It opened the world’s first bus rapid transit (BRT) system in 1974. BRT runs on special lanes. This makes sure that buses are on time even in traffic jams. With the help of BRT, the city has the lowest level of air pollution in Brazil. Today, many other countries have copied BRT, including China and Mexico.

Singapore is home to the first zero-energy building in Southeast Asia. Zero energy means a building is able to create more energy than it uses. Zero-energy buildings work with solar panels (板) mainly on roofs. These panels can make electricity which powers the buildings. By 2030, Singapore plans to build 80 percent of its buildings like this.

41.What is a green city according to the United Nations?

After my husband died, my world crashed around me. My six children were 10, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was overwhelmed(压垮) with the responsibilities(责任) of earning a living, caring for the children and simply keeping my head above water.

I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly(坦诚地) I was uneasy. Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear. I felt really lonely.

One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd(牧羊犬) on our doorstep. It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home. The children took an instant（紧迫的）liking to "German" and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement(地下室) until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks. The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us.

On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. He stayed again Sunday night.

Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back. We thought we’d never see him again. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. It went like this for almost 10 months. We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home.

Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.

46.How long did the German shepherd stay with the family every week?

A.One day.

B.Two days.

C.Three days.

D.Four days.

47. What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?

A. trying to keep calm in public

B. trying to get attention from other men

C. showing her high spirit in the face of trouble

D. managing to continue to live

48. When the author’s husband died, ______.

A. she couldn’t raise the six children on her ow n

B. she couldn’t relax on the weekends

C. The housekeeper only came on weekends

D. she was too busy to feel lonely

49. Which of the following is Wrong according to the article?

A. German was fond of living with the family.

B. The writer felt safe and protected with German around.

C. The dog stayed until the writer was strong enough to go on alone.

D. The writer was too busy that weekend to go find the dog’s owner.

50. Which is the best title for the passage?

A. A homeless dog

B. A friend’s strength

C. How to keep a dog

D. Keep up when in trouble

一、阅读表达阅读短文，按要求完成短文后的各项任务。（10分每小题2分）

T ext messaging, or simply ―texting‖, which allows people to send and receive mes sages on mobile phones, becomes very popular today.

The advantages of texting are obvious. Texting helps to save money. If you have a few (1)________ to greet your families and friends on their birthdays or on some important festivals, sending messages can be cheaper than phone calling. Texting helps to save (1). Even if you want to send a message to 100 people, you can do it in one second. Texting helps you to ―talk‖ to someone when he is too busy to answer the phone. Texting can also help you to ―talk‖ to someone secretly if you don’t want others to hear what you are talking on the phone. These advantages are so amazing that many people are crazy about it. They hold mobile phones in hands all day long, send lots of messages each day, and even text while driving or walking.

However, texting has its disadvantages. Junk(垃圾) messages may come into your mobile phone box now and then. When your phone box gets too full, you can’t receive any more messages. You may therefore miss some important information.

What’s more, if you don’t do texting properly, for example texting while driving or walking, it can be dangerous. It can cause injuries and even death. (2)It is reported that about 6,000 people are killed and half a million are injured for this reason each year. In Fort Lee, a small town in New Jersey, USA, three people died because they walked into traffic while texting in 2011. Two researchers at Stony Brook University, New York found that texters are 60% more probably to have an accident than others. When people are texting, they don’t notice other people or things around them. To reduce traffic accidents, all drivers of the USA are now not allowed to text while driving. About 32 countries have passed laws restricting(限制) the use of mobile phones while driving.

Texting is a wonderful way of communication. However, only when we use it properly can we fully enjoy the fun it brings.

One possible version:

Recently, we have discussed the ways to go travelling. Here is the result.

Some students choose to take part in a team tour. Guides will arrange hotels and meals for them. It’s easy for them to go to tourist attractions. What’s more, they won’t get lost with guides’ help. Besides, they can make friends and help each other.

However, other students would like to choose a DIY tour.

That's because they can arrange their time and visit their favourite sights freely. It's also a chance for them to learn to look after themselves and improve their abilities.

For me, I'd like to travel alone. I want to spend enough time visiting the places I like. In this way, I can enjoy my vacation better.
