A survey on parking in Britain found that 70 percent of people want a ban on parking on pavements. A town south of London has already started a system to get drivers to park in a proper car park. Any motorist who parks on the pavement gets a $115 fine. However, many people say the fines do not work. Local people say car owners ignore the fine and park where they want. One woman said there would soon be a very serious accident because of a car parked on the pavement. She wants her town to be like London, which has strict rules against pavement parking.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Humans have launched themselves into the outer space. They've landed on the moon. They've built habitable space stations that orbit the Earth. The next giant leap for mankind is to reach another planet – specifically, Mars.
The problem is that it's no easy task. The planet is 586 times further away from the Earth than the moon, and it'll take around 180 to 220 days to reach Mars, depending on where each planet is in its orbit. Such long periods in space have suggested many potential health problems, including hormonal changes, skin conditions, and muscle and bone deterioration (损耗).
Here's where some furry friends come in. A wide range of animals have been in space, from fruit flies and spiders to cats, and dogs. Such experiments began as far back as the late 1940s in first tests to see if living things could withstand the extreme g-force (重力) of a rocket launch.
Mice continue to play a very important part in space experiments, mainly because the animals make excellent test subjects. They're small, which makes them inexpensive and easy to care for. In addition, their size and short life span make it possible to do the equivalent of several human years of tests in a much shorter time. Finally, because mice are mammals, they share many common characteristics with humans in terms of genetics, biology and behavior.
Astromice have hit the headlines recently, as a team of scientists led by Betty Nusgens, professor of biology at the University of Liege in Belgium, found that the mice suffered a 15 percent thinning of their skin after 91 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
This experiment was part of a wider NASA mission (任务) called the Mice Drawer System (MDS). The Italian Space Agency developed the facility, which allows six mice to be housed, monitored, and automatically fed and watered aboard the ISS, among which three survived during the mission.
The mice have participated in 20 separate experiments, to study such effects as osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), anemia (贫血) and heart health.
Results for the 20 experiments are coming in gradually. But it's clear that mice continue to play an important role in the ongoing quest to conquer the final frontier.
（1）We can infer from Paragraphs 2-3 that ______.
A.Mars is the farthest planet away from Earth discovered so far
B.animals that have been sent into space have mostly survived
C.it was in the late 1940s that animals were first sent to the ISS
D.the journey to Mars could put humans' health at risk
（2）The underlined word “withstand” in Para.3 means _________.
A.set up
B.come across
C.work out
D.hold up
（3）According to Betty Nusgens and her team, the mice aboard the ISS ______.
A.all survived for the duration(期间) of the mission
B.suffered the loss of part of their skin
C.were fed and watered by the astronauts
D.participated in 20 experiments that made great breakthroughs
（4）The main purpose of the article is to _____.
A.analyze how mice could pave the way to Mars
B.report on the results of the Mice Drawer System
C.describe the role mice play in scientific research
D.change people's traditional attitudes toward mice

A. Personally B. Basically

C. Hopefully D. Typically

A Thanksgiving Day story in the newspaper told of a school teacher asked her class of first graders to draw a picture of something they were thankful for. She (think) of how little these children from poor neighbourhood actually had to be thankful for. But she knew that most of them would draw pictures of turkeys or tables full food. The teacher was taken back with the picture Douglas handed in—a small childishly hand!
But whose hand? The class was (puzzle) by the abstract drawing. “I think it must be the hand of God brings us food,” said one child, “a farmer,” said another, “because he feeds turkeys.” Finally, when the others were at work, the teacher (bend) over at Douglas' desk and asked whose hand it was. “It's your hand, Teacher,” he said in a low voice.
She remembered that (frequent) at break she had taken Douglas, a small lonely child, by hand. She often did that with the (child). But it meant so much to Douglas. Perhaps this was everyone's Thanks-giving, not for the material things (give) to us but for the chance, in whatever small way, to give to others.

A new generation addiction(上瘾) is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism（网瘾）, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.
Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users.

They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life.

【题目】阅读理解
It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future.
But the dream didn't last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.
The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
（1）Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?
A.The frogs made too much noise.
B.They need money to buy medicine.
C.They wanted to please the visitors.
D.The frogs were easy money.
（2）What might be the cause of the children's sickness?
A.The crops didn't do well.
B.There were too many insects.
C.The visitors brought in diseases.
D.The pesticides were overused.
（3）What can we infer(推断) from the last sentence of the text?
A.Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.
B.Health is more important than money.
C.The harmony between humans and nature is important.
D.Good old days will never be forgotten.

It has been a long time since I did anything good for the environment. Feeling responsible to protect the environment, I decided to take the action again. I told my idea to my friends and we planned to plant tree on the hill in the countryside. We came to the foot of the hill and selected a place where looked suitably and settled down. We spend a few hours digging holes and placing the young seedlings. Then we wrote our wishes on cards one to one and buried it deep down the roots of the trees. We also took a lot of pictures. We were such busy that we didn't realize that it was time to go back. I felt really glad that we made difference to the environment.
