• 2．Like most of us，I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste.The arugula（芝麻菜）was to make a nice green salad，rounding out a roast chicken dinner.But I ended up working late.Then friends called with a dinner invitation.I stuck the chicken in the freezer.But as days passed，the arugula went bad.Even worse，I had unthinkingly bought way too much；I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
     In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry，"food waste goes against the moral grain，"as Elizabeth Royte writes in this month's cover story.It's jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away - from "ugly"（but quite eatable）vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.
     Producing food that no one eats wastes the water，fuel，and other resources used to grow it.That makes food waste an environmental problem.In fact，Royte writes，"if food waste were a country，it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world."
      If that's hard to understand，let's keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator.Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time - but for him，it's more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days.Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington.D.C.，which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals.Last year it recovered more than 807，500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished（有瑕疵的）produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields.And the strawberries？Volunteers will wash，cut，and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.
      Such methods seem obvious，yet so often we just don't think. "Everyone can play a part in reducing waste，whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won't eat." Curtin says.
  
  （1）What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story？

  
  A．We pay little attention to food waste.
  B．We waste food unintentionally at times.
  C．We waste more vegetables than meat.
  D．We have good reasons for wasting food.
  （2）What is a consequence of food waste according to the text？

  
  A．Moral decline.
  B．Environmental harm.
  C．Energy shortage.
  D．Worldwide starvation.
  （3）What does Curtin's company do？

  
  A．It produces kitchen equipment.
  B．It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
  C．It helps local farmers grow fruits.
  D．It makes meals out of unwanted food.
  （4）What does Curtin suggest people do？

  
  A．Buy only what is needed.
  B．Reduce food consumption.
  C．Go shopping once a week.
  D．Eat in restaurants less often.

• 3．As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica，she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins （企鵝） longing to say hello.These gentle，lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
     Ever since her childhood，Ginni，now 71，has had a deep love for travel.Throughout her career（職業(yè)） as a professional dancer，she toured in the UK，but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest，she decided it was time to take the plunge.
     After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts，Ginni began to travel the world，eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego，the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. "I just decided I wanted to go."she says， "I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous，I just wanted to do it.And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way."
     In March 2008，Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she'd never met before，to begin the journey towards Antarctica."From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises，the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has，" Ginni says，"I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale；it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater."
     The realization that this is a precious land，to be respected by humans，was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
  
  （1）Which of the following best explains "take the plunge" underlined in paragraph 2？

  
  A．Try challenging things.
  B．Take a degree.

  （2）What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica？

  
  A．Lovely penguins.
  B．Beautiful scenery.

  （3）What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey？

  
  A．It could be a home for her.

  C．It should be well preserved.
  D．It needs to be fully introduced.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

• 4．Sometime in the early 1960s，a significant thing happened in Sydney，Australia.The city discovered its harbor.Then，one after another，Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there - broad parks，superb beaches，and a culturally diverse population.But it is the harbor that makes the city.
     Andrew Reynolds，a cheerful fellow in his early 30 s，pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living.I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor.After our third run Andrew shut down the engine，and we went out separate ways - he for a lunch break，I to explore the city.
     "I'll miss these old boats." he said as we parted.
     "How do you mean？" I asked.
     "Oh，they're replacing them with catamarans.Catamarans are faster，but they're not so elegant，and they're not fun to pilot.But that's progress，I guess."
     Everywhere in Sydney these days，change and progress are the watchwords （口號），and traditions are increasingly rare.Shirley Fitzgerald，the city's official historian，told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s.Sydney swept aside much of its past，including many of its finest buildings. "Sydney is confused about itself，" she said， "We can't seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one.It's a conflict that we aren't getting any better at resolving （解決）."
     On the other hand，being young and old at the same time has its attractions.I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony."Many people say that we lack culture in this country." he told me."What people forget is that the Italians，when they came to Australia，brought 2000 years of their culture，the Greeks some 3000 years，and the Chinese more still.We've got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country.It's a pretty hard combination to beat."
     He is right，but I can't help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
  
  （1）What is the first paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．Sydney's striking architecture.
  B．The cultural diversity of Sydney.
  C．The key to Sydney's development.
  D．Sydney's tourist attractions in the 1960s.
  （2）What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds？

  
  A．He goes to work by boat.
  B．He looks forward to a new life.
  C．He pilots catamarans well.
  D．He is attached to the old ferries.
  （3）What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney？

  
  A．It is losing its traditions.
  B．It should speed up its progress.
  C．It should expand its population.
  D．It is becoming more international.
  （4）Which statement will the author probably agree with？

  
  A．A city can be young and old at the same time.
  B．A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
  C．Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
  D．Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

第二節(jié) 七選五，根據(jù)下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

• 5．Endangered species An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. （1）

  Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don't do anything to save them.There are many reasons why species become endangered.
     Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways.When humans move into a new area，the animals' habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. （2）

  Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals' homes and food supplies.
     （3）

  Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly-valued meat，fur，bones or skin，or just for sport.Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures like whales and sharks becoming endangered species.
     （4）

  We should take care not to pollute natural areas，and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial penalties.The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals' body parts.Governments can help，too，by making it against the law to hunt，fish or trade in endangered species.They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries，to protect animals from extinction by breeding more endangered animals，which they later release into the wild. （5）

  
  
  A.Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution.
  B.Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing.
  C.Eventually，all the creatures on Earth will enjoy being together.
  D.Recent changes，however，have helped to improve the situation.
  E.So what can individuals and governments do to protect endangered species？
  F.Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.
  G.If we all cooperate and take these steps，we will protect these animals for future generations.

     "Ada!Milk!" Mama called.
     Milk.It was Ada's turn to get it.Ada sighed and shut her first-aid book.Her head hurt from reading in the dim morning light，but how else was she going to learn？
     Ada tied the cow close to a tree.Somewhere down the mountain，some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses.Ada heard Betty drive off hours ago. "She should have taken me with her.She thinks I'm too young，but she's wrong.I am already 16!" Ada thought.
     Ada carried the milk back to Mama，then wandered up the road.Roy，a village boy，had gotten a donkey，and some kids had gathered around to see it.Roy was always doing something to get attention.Like now：he was trying to stand on the animal's bare back.
     "No wonder they don't trust kids with anything important"，Ada thought，sighing.She had just turned away when she heard a thud and a few screams.Roy lay on the ground nearby moaning in pain.The donkey stood several meters away. "Roy!" The kids nearby ran towards him. "Get Betty，" one said.Ada shook her head. "Betty's gone to the city." The other kids seemed frozen in place.
     Ada ran to where Roy was lying.She dropped to her knees on the dusty road. "Roy!Can you hear me？" Roy moaned in agony.Ada saw that one of his legs was crooked，bent a little sideways between the knee and the ankle.A broken leg!
     She remembered what the first-aid book had said about broken legs：if there is no ambulance，straighten the bone before moving the victim.There certainly wouldn't be any ambulance here.Ada looked back up the road.The other kids were still standing there，watching. "Victor!" Ada called to one of the boys. "Go get Roy's mama，and find someone with a truck." She turned to the others. "Give me your shirts.We need something to tie his leg with."
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
