    Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling．Recycling in the home is very important of course．However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need．We are dealing with the results of that over–consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place．
    The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005．It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK．In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard．
    Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment．The UK, for example, is running out of it for burying this unnecessary waste．If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect．Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy．The solution is not to produce such items in the first place．Food waste is a serious problem, too．Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need．However, few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example．
    But this is not just about supermarkets．It is about all of us．We have learned to associate packaging with quality．We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality．This is especially true of food．But it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary．
    There are signs of hope．As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected．We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb．
    小题1:What does the underlined phrase “that over-consumption” refer to?
    A．Using too much packaging．
    B．Recycling too many wastes．
    C．Making more products than necessary．
    D．Having more material than is needed．
    小题2:The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show ___________．
    A．the tendency of cutting household waste
    B．the increase of packaging recycling
    C．the rapid growth of supermarkets
    D．the fact of packaging overuse
    小题3:According to the text, recycling ___________．
    A．helps control the greenhouse effect
    B．means burning packaging for energy
    C．is the solution to gas shortage
    D．leads to a waste of land
    小题4:What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
    A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality．
    B．Supermarkets care more about packaging．
    C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging．
    D．Other products are better packaged than food．

    答对三题以上（含三题）才给予加分；请在完成前五部分的前提下完成该部分

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    Honesty may well be the policy, but it often deserts us when no one is watching, psychologists report today. Experiments with an honesty box to collect payments for hot drinks show that people are better at paying up when under the gaze of a pair of eyes. The surprise was that the eyes were not real, but photographed.Researchers at Newcastle University set up the experiment in secret. They attached a poster to a cupboard of mugs above an honesty box alongside a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk. Over 10 weeks, they alternated (轮流替换) each week between images of eyes and pictures of flowers.
    Dr. Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study, said that even though the eyes were not real they still seemed to make people behave more honestly. The effect may result from behavioral characteristics that developed as early humans formed social groups that increased their chances of survival. Individuals had to co-operate for the good of the group, rather than act selfishly.
    “If nobody is watching us it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we think we’re being watched we should behave better, so people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards us,” Dr. Bateson said.
    “We thought we’d get a slight effect with eyes, by it was quite striking how much difference they made. Even at a subconscious level, it seems people respond to eyes, and that might be because eyes send a strong biological signal we have evolved(进化) to respond to.”
    The finding, which researchers believe sheds light on our evolutionary past, could be turned to practical use. The psychologists say images of eyes could increase ticket sales on public transport and improve monitor systems to prevent antisocial behavior.

    Have you ever heard a news reporter talk about DNA? Reporters talk about DNA found at the scene of a crime. They talk about police finding DNA “fingerprints.” Police sometimes use DNA as a clue to find out who committed the crime.
    DNA is a substance（物质） that makes up genes. Everything alive has genes. Plans have genes. Animals have genes. You have genes.
    Genes are the basic units of heredity（遗传）. Heredity means all the characteristics you inherit from your parents. You get your genes from your parents. You inherit half of your genes from your mother. You inherit half of your genes from your father.
    Genes are a kind of code. A tree’s genes tell what shape its leaves will be. A cat’s genes tell what color its fur will be. Your genes tell what color your eyes will be. Your genes tell what color your hair will be. Everything about you comes from the code in your genes.
    Genes line up on strands（链） called chromosomes（染色体） in cells. Everything alive is made up of cells. Chromosomes are in the center, or nucleus, of cells.
    Different parts of you are made of different kinds of cells. Your muscles are made of muscle celIs. Your skin is made of skin cells. The code in your genes tells your body to make different kinds of cells. The genes in each cell tell the cell how to work. They tell the cell when to make new copies of itself.
    An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel first saw inherited patterns in pea plants. He experimented with pea plants in the 1860s. One of the things, or traits（特质）， Mendel studied was what makes some pea plants tall and some short. He said that the traits must come from units of heredity passed from the parent plants. These units were later called genes.
    In the mid-1900s, scientists discovered that genes are made of DNA. In the 1970s, scientists learned how to change DNA with genetic engineering. Scientists also learned that problems with certain genes cause diseases. Muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and hemophilia are some genetic diseases-diseases caused by problems in genes. Today, scientists are looking for ways to cure genetic diseases by changing genes through a process called gene therapy.
    小题1: What is DNA?
    A．DNA is a kind of gene.
    B．DNA is a substance that makes up genes.
    C．DNA is the basic unit of heredity.
    D．DNA is a measure to protect crime.
    小题2: Which of the following about genes is correct according to the passage?
    A．Plants, animals and human beings have the same genes.
    B．Half people inherit all genes from their mother, others from their father.
    C．Genes decide the trees shapes, the cats’ fur color and our eyes’ color as well.
    D．Genes will give you a code when you need them.
    小题3:Where are genes?
    A．Genes lining up on strands called chromosomes are in the center of cells.
    B．Genes hide in everything alive in your body.
    C．Genes can be nowhere but in your mind, controlling all your actions.
    D．Genes travel in your body and help cope skin, muscle, and eyes.
    小题4:An Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel         .
    A．first saw inherited patterns in people
    B．was interested in why plants were different
    C．first called the units of heredity from parents genes
    D．was the first who discovered genes
    小题5: We can conclude that         .
    A．scientists were less intelligent than monks in 1900s
    B．some genes are bad and can cause diseases
    C．we don’t need to worry about genetic diseases any longer
    D．the discovery of genes may be of great help in our daily life

    “You know, these cups bring to mind a tea quote(说法) I heard.” Mary’s aunt said.
    She poured tea. There were four of them and there were four totally different cups on the table.
    They took their tea cups.
    “What quote?” Mary asked.
    “Well, maybe I should rather say it is a story,” aunt said, “I heard that there was a wise teacher who took all his students for tea. They were surprised that all the cups on the table were different. Each of them took a cup and started drinking their tea, each looking at the cups of others. The teacher let them do that for a while and then said,‘ Do you notice your behavior? You are all looking at each other’s tea cup and I can see some of you with the broken ones are even envious(羡慕的) of the finer cups of others. Is this not so?’ ”
    The students agreed, amused by their own behavior.
    “You may have wondered why you all had different cups, but I put them here on purpose. You see they represent (代表) life itself. Life is like that tea and the cups are like the physical circumstances(状况) of your life. You all got the same thing in your cups — tea. And yet you can not truly enjoy it in your envy of another’s cup. It’s just the same with life. You forget to enjoy your own life when you concentrate on envying the circumstances of someone else’s life.
    So now, close your eyes, and taste your own tea. Really taste it. And tell me — did it matter from which cup it came from?”
    Aunt finished telling her short tea story and they all sat in silence for a while, tasting their tea. A sleepy fly buzzed(嗡嗡作响) past, a bird sang in the tree. And it really did not matter one bit from which tea cup they drank.

    A．should try different ways of life
    B．shouldn’t focus on envy others’ physical circumstances

    D．should work hard for a better life
    小题4: In the passage the teacher’s message to the students was that _______.
    A．life is hard and boring for everyone
    B．it is strange to be envious of the lives of others
    C．everyone should learn to enjoy his own life
    D．people act differently in different circumstances
    小题5: What can be the best title for the passage?

    “A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right,”says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people. She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market is. In Mollie’s opinion it is necessary to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing, “If you aren’t telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed.”she says. With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,”she says. “This love goes back to early childhood. I’ve told stories all my life. I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them. I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said‘Nonsense, Mollie; dear, you’ll be a writer.’So finally I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.”
    This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical (自传体的)and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement. Thoughts of her childhood inevitably(不可避免的)brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields-sadly now covered with modern houses. “I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood. I’ll never go back,”she said.“Never.”“When I set one of my books in Scotland,”she said,“I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that’s important, because children now know so much so early that romance can’t exist for them, as it did for us.”
    小题1: What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
    A．It should not aim at a narrow audience.
    B．It should be attractive to young readers.
    C．It should be based on original ideas.
    D．It should not include too much conversation.
    小题2: In Mollie Hunter’s opinion, which of the following is one sign of poor writer?
    A．Being poor in life experience
    B．Being short of writing skill.
    C．The weakness of description
    D．The absence of a story.
    小题3:What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a young child？
    A．She didn’t expect to become a writer.
    B．She didn’t enjoy writing stories.
    C．She didn’t have any particular ambition.
    D．She didn’t respect her teacher’s view.
    小题4:In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that children now are _____.
    A．more intelligent
    B．better informed
    C．less eager to learn
    D．less interested in reality
    小题5: What’s the writer’s purpose in this text?
    A．To share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s book.
    B．To introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience.
    C．To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers.
    D．To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books.

    You may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another Earth”? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.
    ABC means American-Born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside—thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.
    Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese.
    But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas (海外) Chinese. These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.
    But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not the people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist  C.N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. The Chinese love him, but he is an American citizen.
    小题1:What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
    A．He wants to tell us something about “ABC”.
    B．He wants to show that Chinese are well respected in America.
    C．He wants to tell us some knowledge about the English language.
    D．He wants to introduce the American culture to us.
    小题2: Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because ____.
    A．their bodies are white inside but yellow outside
    B．they think like Westerners but look like Chinese
    C．they were born in China but go to study in America
    D．they like to eat bananas
    小题3:C.N. Yang is mentioned here to show that ____.
    A. American Chinese are great.        B. we love American Chinese
    C. The Chinese can win Nobel Prizes   D. American Chinese are not Chinese citizens

    Besides calling 911, here is what to do in some life-threatening emergencies when no oneis

             

     
    around to help.

    Lost in the wilderness
    First, you’ve got to acknowledge you’re in trouble. Stay where
    you can be seen clearly and remember to rest. Keeping a sense
    of humor helps too—it reduces stress and helps creative thinking.
    In a wide open area, make a colorful cross out of rocks to show
    your present position.

     

     
    Choking

    Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach, in the soft part
    below the bony upside-down V of the ribs（肋骨）. Make a sudden
    push against the chair. If you still can’t breathe after six tries, call 911,
    even if you can’t talk. Write the word choking somewhere nearby, and
    leave the line open until help arrives.


     
    Severe bleeding

    Use your hand or clean cotton, or paper towels, or a scarf,
    or any cloth you can find, and push down on the wound
    until the bleeding stops. But if you put a band around
    your leg tightly, you’re going to close the vessels（血管）
    to the entire leg. In this way, you could lose your foot.
    Bear attack


     
    If you surprise a bear, don’t run away. That invites an attack.

    Instead, stand up and back away slowly, without looking the
    bear in the eyes. If it does charge at you, stick out your chest,
    raise your arms, and spread your legs. Shout at the bear, to
    frighten it. If it’s going to attack, lie facedown, with your hands
    held firmly behind your neck. Play dead until you’re sure the bear
    is gone.
    小题1:When you see a colorful cross made of rocks in the wilderness, you know    .
    A．someone is bleedingB．someone is choking
    C．someone is lostD．someone is attacked by a bear
    小题2:If you are still choking after six tries, you should         .
    A．keep a sense of humorB．call 911 and leave the line open
    C．use your hand our clean cottonD．lie down with your hands behind your neck
    小题3:Don’t tie around your bleeding leg tightly, or you could        .
    A．stop bleedingB．reduce stress
    C．lose your footD．cause breathlessness
    小题4:The passage is mainly teaching us how to      .
    A．survive the emergenciesB．avoid a bear attack
    C．deal with a chokeD．find our way
