Increased vehicles have made the air polluted. Citizens find it difficult to breathe. Dumping harmful chemicals into the river has polluted the drinking water and ground water.All of us, as concerned citizens, have discussed these problems in various meetings. We have come up with the following proposals（提议）.The green roads are no longer green. Many trees and bushes have been cut. We propose restricting the movement of vehicles. Besides, we should make it compulsory（强制性的）to use anti-pollution devices on all vehicles. We should also plant more plants and trees along roads.The Bada Nadi River has become a dumping ground of harmful chemicals from some factories. These harmful chemicals have killed nearly all the life in the river and polluted our drinking water and ground water. We propose that the Bada Nadi River be declared a protected water body. All the dumping should be banned and heavy fine should be imposed on the offenders（违法者）. To tackle the problem of managing harmful waste, we propose setting up a water treatment plant so that only clean water is discharged into the river. Cleaning up the river and introducing various fishes and plants to the river will bring it back to life.Lastly, the noise pollution caused by honking（鸣）horns and blaring loudspeakers has caused distress to one and all. Many people have suffered from noise-related illnesses. We propose a blanket ban on the use of loudspeakers. And“no horn zones”should a lso be declared in residential hospitals and school areas.I would request you to seriously consider our proposals and act accordingly.Thank you!Sincerely yours,A kind-hearted citizen56.

The underlined word“tackle”in the fourth pa ragraph means“_______”.A. put offB. deal withC. set upD. turn downBIt's a name that needs no address.Everyone knows Santa Claus lives at the North Pole.So letters sent to Santa Claus find their way to the small town of the North Pole deep in Alaska，including those simply sent to st year，120,000 letters arrived from 26 countries，not including the thousands with no return addresses.Those who have return addresses usually get a reply and a North Pole postmark（邮戳）that has delighted children all over the world for many years.They feel happy to receive Santa's reply.Letters arrive all the year around in the town of 1,600，where streets have names such as Santa Claus Lane and Kris Kringle Drive. Around Thanksgiving，they start getting there by the thousands each day as Christmas comes. Even letters without stamps get through，an exception（例外）for the U.S. Postal Service.“This is special because it has Santa's name on it,” said Debra Cornelius，an officer at the main post office in nearby Fairbanks，where the letters are kept during the holiday.Gabby Gaborik is among several dozen volunteers who are busy sending off replies to children who sent return addresses.In his 10 years as a volunteer，Gaborik has seen every kind of wish. There are children who want the latest toys they see on TV. There are children who ask for miracles（奇迹），some wanting their mother back for Christmas or their father back from Iraq，even though he died there.Replies get a North Pole postmark，including a halfmoon drawing of Santa's face. Even late letters get a reply，Gaborik said，“It says something like …Thanks for writing. Santa's been really busy，‟anything the children might want to hear，”he said.59.

Maybe you show up at each event and still feel challenged by the process. You aggressively talk to people, give out your cards, call endlessly to schedule an appointment but have no real success from your efforts. To help you gain a different future, here are ten habits you should avoid.Ineffective networkers：1. Lack patience. They expect immediate results and want business now, not tomorrow.2. Constantly “selling” something. They see dollar signs every time they shake hands with someone.3. Too many choices. If they offer a variety of products, they might try too hard to tell about all of them. Offering too much information sends a confusing message making it difficult for people to send referral (指点). Opportunities are all around us but when you're networking, only focus on one.4. Change positions too often. If they move from company to company or do something totally different, it might be difficult for people to keep up with them.5. Lack manners and respect. They interrupt others, talk with food in their mouth, aren't very polite and appear unprofessional. They call people during dinner or on the weekends without thinking whether the occasion is suitable.6. Distribute too many cards and sales literature. They come while loading with brochures, flyers (传单), catalogues and samples.7. Focus on themselves. Too much self-promotion can leave the other person to feel unappreciated. Every sentence begins with “I” and is all about their business.8. “Talking” instead of “giving”. They don't realize what other people sense when they are being very selfish. Others may think that they are being taken advantage of.9. Lack authenticity (可靠性) and personal values. They may create unrealistic expectations and not deliver on their promises. Sometimes doing things without integrity (诚实) possibly twists the truth.10. Poor communication and interpersonal skills. They have trouble speaking effectively, building relationships and following up.Networking is a process that is an investment of time and money. If you find you're doing any of these habits, consider learning how to improve on these and maximize your results while networking. You'll start to get better at connecting with people and obtain more referrals.62. This passage is meant for people who ______.A. want to do more businessesB. often take instead of givingC. have poor communication and interpersonal skillsD. want to improve their interpersonal relationship63. According to the second habit, we shouldn't ______ when we are networking.A. sell thingsB. talk about dollarsC. pay attention to money onlyD. shake hands with everyone64. When talking with others, you should ______.A. give out your cards and brochures every now and thenB. talk about the quality of your product as much as possibleC. interrupt others when they make a mistakeD. let other people express themselves completely65. Which of the following is NOT correct about a salesman's behavior?A. He offers too much self-promotion during the conversation.B. He considers carefully when he can get what he expects.C. He only focuses on one opportunity when networking.D. He keeps his promises and doesn't expect too much from others.第Ⅱ卷（共45 分）第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个．．最恰当的单词。
