These three “Rs”，when used every day, can reduce the amount of waste going into landfills, reduce the litter polluting the land and water, conserve (节约) energy and save your money.Recycling is one of the easiest ways to save energy, money and time while reducing the amount of garbage going into landfills.Most communities have roadside pick-up service to recycle common household items like glass, steel, aluminum, newspaper and cardboard. By separating out the recyclable items from normal household trash, you can reduce the amount of trash entering a landfill by more than 75 percent.Recycling one aluminum beverage can saves enough energy to run your television for three hours. Even better, local recyclers or scrap-metal dealers may pay money for your metal recyclables.It is estimated that the 54 billion cans recycled last year in the US saved 15 million barrels of oil. That is equivalent (相等的) to the US oil consumption for one day. Recycling other household items offers similar savings in money and energy.Composting food waste will reduce your trash load even more. A basic compost pile built with the help of instructions from numerous resources on the web can be constructed over a weekend, using materials easily obtained from local hardware or home improvement stores. In addition to reducing your waste, this all-natural recycling provides safe, clean and organic fertilizer for your garden, eliminating the need to buy chemical-derived products.Finally, recycling other household items like computers, televisions and monitors and household chemicals like pesticides (农药) and paints will remove dangerous chemicals like mercury (水银) and lead from the landfills.If your community doesn't offer recycling programs, contact your local government to get one established.36. What's NOT true about recycling in the eyes of the author?A．It's energy-efficient.B．It's money-saving.C．It's time-consuming.D．It's environmentally-friendly.37．Recycling________aluminum beverage cans save enough energy to keep your TV on for half a day.A．three B．fourC．five D．six38．What's the possible meaning of the underlined word “composting” in the sixth paragraph?A．Turning waste into fertilizer.B．Throwing waste into dustbin.C．Making waste clean and useful.D．Finding new land to put the rubbish in.39. The passage tells us the way of living a ________life.A．happy B．richC．green D．economicalBIf a noisy neighbor is blasting music at all hours of the day and night, drowning out your phone conversations and interrupting your sleep, you can call the police. But what is a whale to do?Natural noise from waves, wind, rain and even earthquakes is common in oceans. Unfortunately, man-made noise from oil and gas drilling, sonar, and ships is also present.Low frequency noise has doubled off the California coast every decade since the nineteen sixties. The main reasons are ships' propellers (螺旋桨). They not only generate continuous low frequency sound, some propellers cavitate(形成气穴), which means they create air bubbles that collapse, creating loud popping sounds.Whales use low frequency calls to communicate across thousands of miles of ocean. They are threatened by noise pollution because it can prevent them from contacting each other and from locating their foods. Endangered humpback and right whales, which use fibrous baleen to strain food from the water, are the most at risk.Scientists studying right whales off Canada's east coast have discovered that whales are sending louder calls through the water to make themselves heard. Because they invest more energy in making calls, they have less energy available for finding food and mating. Other scientists measuring whale calls against background noise pollution have discovered that right whales have lost about eighty percent of their normal communication area. This could seriously affect survival of this already threatened species.Scientists don't have badges and guns, but they are trying to correct the noise pollution problem. By tracking ships and marine mammals and understanding how noise travels, they are creating sound maps. They hope to get shipping lanes moved so that the noise pollution ships create will not overlap with areas most important to the whales.40．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Whales are in danger because of the noise.B．Noise pollution is affecting whales.C．Natural noise is good for whales.D．How to protect whales endangered.41．The following statements are true EXCEPT ________.A．You can call the police if you are disturbed by a noisy neighbor.B．Low frequency noise has doubled off the Canadian coast every decade since the 1960s.C．Noise pollution can prevent whales from contacting each other and from locating prey.D．Endangered humpback and right whales are the most at risk.42．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A．some areas important to whales are overlapped with the ship lanesB．scientists are creating the sound maps by tracking ships and marine mammalsC．if scientists have guns, they can correct the noise pollutionD．scientists have worked out a plan to protect the whales43. According to scientists，________.A. right whales off the Californian coast have been in danger because of the loss of the energyB．right whales cannot find food and mate for they lose a lot of living areaC．there are about 20% of the normal communication areas still available for the right whalesD．the right whales always invest most of their energy for making callsCIf anything can be said about recordbreaking globetrotter (环球旅行家) Graham Hughes, it's that—throughout his travels—he's always kept his feet firmly on the ground.The 33-year-old adventurer, from Liverpool, has become the first person to visit all 201 countries in the world without using a plane.Hughes used buses, taxis, trains and his own two feet to travel 160,000 miles in exactly 1,426 days — all on a shoestring(资金微薄) of just $100 a week.He spent four days “crossing open ocean in a leaky (漏的) boat”to reach Cape Verde on the North Atlantic, was jailed for a week in the Congo for being mistaken as a “spy”，and was arrested trying to “sneak (溜；偷偷地做) into” Russia.And yesterday Graham Hughes trudged (长途跋涉) into Juba, the capital of South Sudan, to end the epic four-year journey that began in his hometown of Liverpool on New Year's Day 2009.“I love travel, and I guess my reason for doing it was that I wanted to see if this could be done, by one person traveling on a shoestring，” he told the Christian Science Monitor. “I think I also wanted to show that the world is not some big, scary place, but in fact it is full of people who want to help you even if you are a stranger.”Guinness has now confirmed that Hughes, who filmed the expedition for a documentary and raised money for charity Water Aid, has achieved the world record.“The main feeling today is just one of intense gratitude to every person around the world who helped me get here, by giving me a lift, letting me stay on their couch, orpointing me in the right direction，” Hughes added.44．Which of the following is NOT described Graham Hughes?A．Globetrotter.B．Adventurer.C．The first person traveling around the world not using a plane.D．Scientist.45．Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?A．When he traveled on the ocean, his boat was leaking water.B．He was put into prison because of being considered a spy in the Congo.C．He was caught in Russia because he stole something.D．It was in South Sudan that he ended his epic four-year journey.46．Why did Hughes make the world record that he had achieved into the film — the expedition for a documentary?A. Because he wanted to be remembered by people all over the world.B．Because he wanted to raise money for charity Water Aid.C．Because he only wanted to record his experience.D．Because he wanted to earn money.47. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．When he traveled all over the world, he got a lot of help from different people.B．He often sleeps on the coach.C．He often points the direction for others.D．He is grateful to the people who have helped him.DPassage 1As one of China's most popular and widely known legends，the Story of Monkey King is set to return to screens with 3D effects. It may feature many of the same leading actors from the earliest 1986 TV series Journey to the West.According to the producer，viewers can enjoy the 3D cinematic experience at home simply with a pair of special 3D glasses, which can be got easily in the market. The TV drama，with a total investment of 150 million yuan，will be aired on Sichuan TV. Almost 90 million yuan has been put into 3D effects with each 45-minute episode containing eight minutes of 3D. “The 3D effects notonly cost us a lot of money but also a lot of time，” director Kan Weiping said. “We had to put off its broadcasting time，which was set at first this summer.”Passage 2The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun，while providing safer driving conditions along with power. American inventors of the Solar Road said that it will power itself，and reduce the country's carbon marks. Many panels are fixed on the Solar Road. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of glass and the inventors are working together with top glass researchers to develop super-strong glass that would offer vehicles pulling power they need. The Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and, therefore, electric vehicles can be recharged at any rest stop，or at any business that uses solar road panels in their parking lots. Such parking lots will be safer at night with the light provided by LED within the road panels. The inventors say their solar roadway has many applications and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths and runways.48．What's Passage 1 mainly about?A．The origin of the story about Monkey King.B．Monkey King will return to screens with 3D effects.C．The brief introduction to the TV series Journey to the West.D．The amount of money invested on the 3D TV series Journey to the West.49．About the 3D TV series Journey to the West we can learn that ________.A．it contains 45 episodes in totalB．it will feature new actors completelyC．we could watch it on TV after the summerD．we can enjoy it at home just with normal glasses50．What can be inferred about the Solar Roadway from Passage 2?A．It will have a bright future.B．It can't work without electricity.C．Its driving conditions aren't safe.D．The electric vehicles can't be recharged on it.Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Autumn is a time when nature prepares to test and it is just the same with manypeople.With less energy or strength they have no desire to meet with friends after work，preferring to sit still in front of the television before going to bed early.And the next morning they find it hard to get up, too.For most people, this period of time passes without any major effects, but a small minority suffer from complete winter depression(压抑)．Apart from tiredness and without energy, the latter often has the following symptoms(症状)．They have an increased need for sleep and also for sweet food like chocolate.Normally, depression is along with difficulty in falling asleep and loss of appetite(胃口)．True winter depression exists when the symptoms occur repeatedly in autumn and winter.Moreover, they have to last at least two weeks.Symptoms of winter depression begin for northern hemisphere(北半球)countries in October, November or December, and reduce in January.The symptoms decrease when the days grow longer again.Lack of light during the cold months is the cause of people's depression.To reduce the bad effect of the winter depression, sufferers should spend as much time outdoors as possible.Exercise is also a tested cure for depression.A regular sleep wake cycle can help too, and sufferers should stick to it even at weekends.By getting up early, they can receive more daylight regardless of the weather.请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
