    After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
    Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."
    Kody is anything but alone, Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
    These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity（慈善机构）, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.
    Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."
    小题1:Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?
    A．He needs to go to the doctor every day.
    B．He studies the leading cause of diabetes
    C．has a positive attitude to this disease.

    小题3: According to the text, Kody ______.
    A．feel lonely because of his illnessB．benefits from diabeticrockstar.com
    C．helps create the online kid’s forumsD．writes children’s stories online
    小题4:What can we learn about Fight It?
    A．It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.
    B．It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.
    C．It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.
    D．It owns a well-known medical website.

    Once upon a time industrial goods were made to last forever. If you bought a car or a stove, it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment. You    51   (pay) good money for it, and you took good care of it. At the present time,    52  , industry has suggested that products shouldn’t last a long time. It’s cheaper to throw them away than    53   (repair) them. This has created a “throw-away society” which is
       54   waste of the earth’s resources. Just think of those pretty new second-hand cars that are sold daily. The owners get rid of them just    55   they are out of date. Think of the expensive packaging material that    56   (throw) away each time a new item is bought. And we have to pay for that material! This waste has got us into the trouble we are    57   now. When we have no resources
      58   (leave), we’ll then start to take care of    59   we have. But why can’t we act before this happens? Why can’t we go back to the society
       60   the prevention of waste is a virtue?

    第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
    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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。                         
    A.                                                                          
    Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
    Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.
    If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks of trees.
    An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.
    56. This passage mainly talks about ________.
    A. the change of colour in locusts                     
    B. the protective coloration of animals and pests
    C. how a certain sea fish protects itself
    D. animals or pests can dye themselves different colours
    57. Locusts are ________ but they are not easily wiped out by their enemies because ________.
    A. animals; they are powerful enough                 B. beasts; they are dangerous to their enemies
    C. pests; they take on the same colours as crops   D. birds; they fly extraordinarily fast
    58. The pests that have different colours from plants usually appear at night because ________.
    A. their enemies can easily find them and eat them
    B. they have the habit of coming out in darkness
    C. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darkness
    D. birds take their rest when night comes
    59. Bears and wolves have the same colour as barks of trees because ________.
    A. they fear other beasts                                   
    B. they like brown or grey colours
    C. they enjoy walking through forests quietly     
    D. the colours help prevent themselves from being noticed
