Passage 10(2013江苏苏州常熟,C)
Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?
Text messaging or “texting” is becoming very pop- ular.But,scientists have discovered that texting can give us problems with our hands.Be careful!Too much texting can cause swelling (肿胀) in our thumbs and wrists. Our thumbs are not made for pushing small buttons,over and over. Scientists call this problem RSI.
We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson,who treats many pa?tients with RSI. She said we needed to see how much time we were spending in typing text messages. If we are spending more than 10— 15 minutes at once,we could have problems in the future.
We also talked with Dr Harjeet Deepa who treats RSI patients. He told us that the youngest patient he had treated was a five-year- old girl.She wasnH doing well at school,so her parents took her for treatrnent.lt was found that she had such bad RSI in her hands,she couldn’t hold a pencil.
As mobile phones develop,they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. Using a computer keyboard and pla?ying video games can also cause the same problem.So,more and more people couldn’t find themselves with RSI.
Many university students and teenagers have RSI,as they do not know the risks (冒险) of spending so much time using computers,video games and mobile phones.If we don't do something about this,too many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
1. What causes the problem RSI?
A. People make too many phone calls.
B. Texting is becoming very popular.
C. People type too many text messages.
D. Our thumbs were made for pushing buttons.
2. The little girl who Dr Harjeet Deepa treated couldn’t hold a pencil because .
A .she didn't go to school
B. she was only five years old
C. she had no thumbs at all
D. she suffered a lot from RSI You can probably read this passage in a .
A. comic strip B. story book
C. science book D. detective story
4. From the passage we know .
A. it is better to use a larger phone with bigger buttons
B. it is worse to spend less time typing the text messages
C. using the computer keyboard will never cause the problem RSI
D. university students who have RSI know it's dangerous to do too much texting

Passage 9(2011 盐城,四)
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息,每空一词。
We all need a healthy environment,but we produce waste every clay and it does harm to our environment.Though we are young,we can still do something to help.In fact,even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words : reduce,reuse and recycle.
Reduce means“use less”.Don’t waste things.This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new,think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good!When we do buy things,choose local products if possible,and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse meansM use againUse things for as long as possible. When we buy things,make sure that they last a long time.We should take care of them so that they will last,and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones.Don’t use a paper cup or a paper hag.Ifs better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle meansa change things into something else .Although it takes energy to change something into something else,it better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials,such as recycled paper,to help save trees.

They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world and,of course,they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in (热市’白勺) diseases are especially useful because most of MSF^ work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task,he has to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks,they might be sent on an emergency task following a disaster,such as an earthquake.
But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life and a good salary to join MSF? According to Chris,the experience you gain is a great help in your career.Besides,just like the explorers of the past,you need to keep an open mind and learn to mix well with the people you meet.Most importantly,at the end of each task,you have made a real difference to people's lives.

Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. Cliai Jing,a former news hostess with CCTV,discussed it in her documentary Under the Dome (《弯顶之F》) .
The 103-minute film was published on websites on Feb 28 ,2015.In the iilm,Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists.She concludes that burning too much coal and oil is the main cause of PM2. 5 and smog.
To make things worse,according lo Chai,the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and don't meet the standards of environmental protection. Therefore they have produced more harmful gas and particles (颗粒) to pollute the air.
To solve the problem,Chai suggests that factories should clean our coal and oil,or replace them with cleaner energy.
In her film,Chai also thought that ordinary people can do something to help control smog too.For example,we can live a greener life by using more public transportation.Or if we see something that could harm the environment,we can try to stop it.
What can we do to help beat the smog?
. Take public transportation.
. Call the hotline 12369 for complaints about environmental problems.
