阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

I stayed for a while in Costa Rica years ago. One morning I was shopping in a local farmers mar- ket. I loved that market. The selection of produce was exceptional!

I had parked my car a few blocks away at Firestone. An hour into my shopping, I reached in my purse for my phone. I dug around searching and searching ... no phone!

I had butterflies in my stomach since the zipper(拉链) was not zipped on my bag and perhaps my phone fell out or got picked up by wondering hands.

I went around to all the venders (摊主) I had visited asking if they had come across a lost iPhone. But no such luck.

Disappointed, I walked out of the market with all my fresh organic produce. In front of me was an older lady walking slowly with a heavy bag in each hand. I observed many people passing her. At first I thought of doing the same, as I was worried about my phone. But then I heard a voice in my heart say- ing "help her".

In Spanish, I asked the old lady if I could give her a hand. She gladly handed me a bag and we walked on. She was probably in her late 70s and the bag I took from her was full of

produce. She asked about my family and my job. My Sparush was far from perfect. I tried to explain to her but I was not sure whether she understood.

As we came to a street comer, we had to walk in opposite directions. My mind wondered for a mo- ment and then I decided to go on helping the lady. I saw a warm smile of gratefulness on her face, which also warmed my own heart.

After a few more blocks we came to her destination. I couldn't imagine her walking so far with two heavy bags all alone!

I walked all the way back to my car at Firestone. I unlocked my door and sitting between the seats right in view was my iPhone!

B. The market was near her home.

C. The produce was inexpensive.

D. The produce was of good quality.

22. When did the author find her iPhone missing?

A. After she had shopped for an hour

B. When she was paying for her produce.

C. After she had parked her car at Firestone.

D. When she was walking into the market.

23. What prevented the author communicating smoothly with the old lady?

A. The old lady's accent.

B. The old lady's age.

C. The author's poor Spanish.

D. Their different cultures.

24. What kind of person is the author?

A. Warm-hearted and clever.

B. Kind but careless.

C. Religious and helpful.

D. Smart but thoughtless.

B

The way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are nat- ural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.

Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO of- ficials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heat- ing and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料) and coal stoves.

These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths. These fuels inrlude wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO' s De- partment of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene (煤油) fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. "New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem."

The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in suh-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Cuatemala and Peru, are also at risk.

Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to bum fuels in a more efficient way. "There are

already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精) stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company) is now being tested out. Another interest ing development is electric induction stoves."In India, you can buy an induction (屯磁) stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.

25. According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?

A. People should use an effective air cleaner.

B. People should use new technologies and clean fuels.

C. People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.

D. People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air.

26. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed ?

A. By listing numbers.

B. By following time order.

C. By describing a process.

D. By making classifications.

27.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution.

B. People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.

C. There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.

D. Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.

28. Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. The Way We Cook Is Changing

B. Cause of indoor Air Pollution

C. Indoor Air Pollution Kills Millions Each Year

D. The Development of Electric Stoves

C

A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlours (客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.

This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than hu- man food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog in- stead of his children.

There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Ani- mals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies - a disease with no known cure.

Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run

free. English farm- ers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.

Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, "keep cutting! "

29. The doggy parlours are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show _ .

A. what costly lives the pets are living

B. where Americans keep their pets

C. why children love their pets so much

D. how much pets depend on their masters

30. In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar” probably means____.

A. getting quite hot

B. becoming excited

C. feeling extremely angry

D. receiving a fashionable shirt

31. According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?

A. Food.

B. Sports.

C. Entertainment.

D. Medicine.

32. What is the author's attitude towards pets-raising?

A. Sympathetic.

B. Opposed.

C. Pitiful.

D. Supportive.

It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great ef- forts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. 36 Here are some tips to help. 37 We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps acti- vate aural(hearing) memory, which helps the memory._38 The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.

Never memorize single English words. _39 Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym or antonym. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic", ”huge" and "large". Make a sequence of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan". Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is go- ing to swallow me whole".

Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. _40 Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.

A. So take action right now.

B. Speak the word while memorizing it.

C. Memorizing new words is very important.

D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.

E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.

F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.

G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

My wife and I moved into our home two years ago. We had a _41 with a lot of rocks. Very often 42 we have flowers, Denise or I would plant some between the rocks, just to add some color to the area.

Last summer, I found a tiny little 43 in the yard that I could not 44 identify. I knew I didn't plant it and Denise said she didn't either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was.

We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the _55 to achieve our goals. Like the 56 , it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had 57 in itself that it would succeed.
