12.I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free.But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed.No problem,I thought:we'll buy another.But the insurance payout didn't even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that,with the loan (贷款) we'd need plus petrol,insurance,parking permits and tax,we would make a payment as much as£600 a month.
  And that's when I had my fancy idea.Why not just give up having a car at all?I live in London.We have a railway station behind our house,a tube station 10 minutes'walk away,and a bus stop at the end of the street.A new car club had just opened in our area,and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby.If any family in Britain could live without a car,I reasoned,then surely we were that family.
  But my new car-free idea,sadly,wasn't shared by my family.My teenage daughters were horrified.What would their friends think about our family being"too poor to afford a car"?(I wasn't that bothered what they thought,and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)
  My friends,too,were ast onished at our plan.What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital?(an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events?(buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas,before saying they were sure I'd soon realize that a car was a necessity.
  Eight months on,I wonder whether we'll ever own a car again.The idea that you"have to"own a car,especially if you live in a city,is all in the mind.I live-and many other citizens do too-in a place that has never been better served by public transport,and yet car ownership has never been higher.We worry about rising car costs,but we'd be better off asking something much more basic:do I really need a car?Certainly the answer is no,and I'm a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.
24.The author decided to live a car-free life partly becauseC.
A.most families chose to go car-free        
B.he was hurt in a terrible car accident
C.the cost of a new car was too much    
D.the traffic jam was unbearable for him
25.What is the attitude of t he author's family toward his plan?B
A.Supportive.
B.Disapproving.
C.Optimistic.
D.Unconcerned.
26.What did the au thor suggest his daughters do about their friends'opinion?D
A.Argue against it.
B.Take their advice.
C.Think it over.
D.Leave it alone.
27.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?C
A.Life cannot go without a car.
B.Life without a car is a little bit hard.
C.His life gets improved without a car.
D.A car-free life does not suit everyone.
3.Once there was a huge apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He loved the tree and the tree loved to (31)D with him.

After that the boy returned and asked the tree for (39)A again and again.First,he asked the tree for a house,and the tree gave the boy all its (40)C.Second,he told the tree he needed a (41)Bto go sailing,the tree offered its trunk. (42)B,the boy returned after he left for so many years."Sorry,my boy.But I don't have (43)Cfor you any more.The only thing left is my dying (44)A,"the tree said with tears.
"Good!Old tree root is the (45)C place to lean on and rest".The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.
This is a story of everyone.The tree is like our parents.When we were (46)A,we loved to play with Mom and Dad…When we grow up,we (47)Bthem,and (48)Ccome to them when we need something or when we are (49)D.No matter what,parents will always give everything they could to make us happy.We may think that the boy is (50)Cto the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.

18.With global warming and melting ice,it isn't easy being a polar bear anymore.Some studies have predicted that polar bears could die out by the end of the century.The good news is not all researchers think the bears are absolutely disappearing.Scientists at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH) have published a new paper indicating that things might not be as bad for polar bears as some scientists expect.
To understand the reason for the researchers'cautious optimism,we must first understand the factors that are threatening the polar bear's existence.Polar bears consume a diet of mainly young seals.In order to hunt these seals,polar bears need to rest at the top of sea ice---the same ice that is increasingly melting for most of the year thanks to climate change.In another 50years,experts expect that the Arctic will be too warm for sea ice to form for half of the year,leaving polar bears without a reliable food source and in serious danger of starvation.
As it turns out,alternative food sources for the polar bears aren't completely out of the question.For as long as biologists have tailed after the animals,they've seen polar bears eating animals found on land like caribou(驯鹿) and snow geese---as well as the snow geese's eggs.
Can polar bears actually survive off these alternative food sources for long periods of time?To figure this out,researchers calculated the nutrients that a caribou and snow geese diet would provide.They found that even adult male polar bears would be able to obtain more calories than they would burn in hunting these meals.Moreover,the food would provide the food necessary to avoid starvation during the summer months.
Unfortunately,not all polar bears have tended to seek food on land.That said,the researchers expect that necessity would push more polar bears to hunt on land to avoid starvation.They also expect that the bears could learn from their fellow bears how to hunt on land until the practice becomes second nature.
