15．MAY 14marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel．Many Israelis，however，are not in the mood to celebrate．
Looking at the damage to her neighbor's home from a Palestinian rocket，Batia Katar，a 17-year-old Israeli girl，was in tears．"We can't celebrate （Israel's） independence when things like this are happening，"she said．
What is clear is that Israel is not a normal country．The country has a dramatic （戏剧性） history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60years．Within hours after it was  established  in 1948，Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land．It won that time，and in 1956，1967and 1973，acquiring the West Bank，the Golan Heights，Gaza and east Jerusalem．For good or ill，Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries．However，it occupied much more land than the United Nations agreed，which left local Palestinians homeless．
Different from all its neighbors in religion，Israel is also far more successful economically than its neighbors．Though，it gets a great amount of support from America and other Western countries．The country is now a world leader in many industries，such as IT and modern agriculture．
However，conflict exists，just like 60years ago．And the signal of peace is as weak as ever．Palestinian militants （武装人员） have fired more than 7，000missiles  from Gaza，mainly at Sedro，killing 13people．In the same period hundreds of Palestinian civilians  in Gaza have died in Israeli military action．
In order to create peace，the world community hopes both sides accept and follow the Middle East peace plan．Optimists believe through Israeli-Palestinian negotiations there will finally be peace．
Both Israelis and Palestinians want to live in peace without explosions that remind them that they are living in a special but dangerous place．

66．Why are many Israelis not in the mood to celebrate the both anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel？BecauseD．
A．the government didn't organize it
B．they are too busy to attend it
C．it is dangerous to celebrate it
D．conflicts and fights still exist
67．The underlined word established in the fourth paragraph meansB．
A．defeated         B．founded
C．attacked         D．accepted
68．Israel is not a normal country becauseD．
A．the country has a dramatic history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60years
B．within hours after its establishment，Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land
C．it occupied much more land than the UN agreed，which left local Palestinians homeless
D．all of the above
69．Which statement about Israel is NOT true according to the passage？D
A．It became a country in 1948．
B．It is different from all its neighbors in religion．
C．It is now a world leader in many industries，such as IT and modern agriculture．
D．No country has supported it since it was founded．
70．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
A．it is still a question mark whether Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace
B．Israel was created as a homeland for homeless Jews
C．for good or ill，Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries
D．Israel is far more successful economically that it neighbors．

分析 这篇文章讲述的在以色列成立60周年纪念日上，以色列人并不喜悦，那是因为以色列依然是一个充满战争的国家，人们依然是生活在一个不和平的年代．

解答 66．D．细节理解题．根据第五段However，conflict exists，just like 60 years ago．And the signal of peace is as weak as ever．然而，正如60年前，冲突依然存在．和平的信号同以往一样脆弱．由此可知，这就是为什么在以色列成立60周年纪念日以色列人并不兴高采烈的原因．故选D．
67．B．推理判断题．根据文章Within hours after it was established in 1948，Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land．以色列国家成立于1948年，在成立的数小时之内，以色列还是在和阿拉伯为争夺土地而战．故可知，established应该是成立的意思，故选B．
68．D．细节理解题．由第三段可知，Within hours after it was established in 1948，Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land．However，it occupied much more land than the United Nations agreed，which left local Palestinians homeless．在1948年以色列国家成立的数小时之内，仍旧在和阿拉伯国家激战．虽然，它占领了比联合国允许的要多的多的土地，但是这导致了巴基斯坦当地人无家可归．综上所述，题目中所涉及到的四个选项在文章都有体现，故选D．
69．D．细节理解题．根据第四段Different from all its neighbors in religion，Israel is also far more successful economically than its neighbors．Though，it gets a great amount of support from America and other Western countries．The country is now a world leader in many industries，such as IT and modern agriculture．以色列与他的邻国有着不同的信仰，在经济上也远远强过邻国，但是，它取得了美国和其他西方国家的大量支持，在许多工业领域也是世界的领先者．可知，B，C正确，D错误．以色列国家成立于1948年，故A正确．所以，本题答案为D．
70．A．推理判断题．由最后一段Both Israelis and Palestinians want to live in peace without explosions that remind them that they are living in a special but dangerous place．以色列人和巴基斯坦人都想生活在一个没有战争的和平国家里，这也提醒了他们仍然生活在一个特殊且危险的国家．可知，巴基斯坦人和以色列人和平的生活仍然是一个问题．故选A．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

2．Americans like to travel on their yearly（每年的） holiday．Today，more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small house or inns（客栈）instead of hotels．They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning．
Rooms for the night in private（私人的） homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years．In the past five to ten years，these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States．Many of these America's bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms； others are much larger．Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms，others do．
Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel．Usually the cost is much less．Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone's home．The owners are glad to tell about the areas and the interesting places to visit．Many vacationers（度假者） say that they enjoy the chance to meet local families．
25．Americans take a holiday tripC．

6．Making greener choices and encouraging healthy lifestyles can promote your health and benefit the environment．Here are some guidelines to follow：
Choose foods thoughtfully
Americans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose from．Besides so many choices，we now hear about our"food print"，the amount of land needed to supply one person's nutritional needs for a year．Do we buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico or tomatoes grown locally in a hothouse？Do．we get the Granny Smiths from the fanners'market or the supermarket？Is organic produce healthier for us and the planet？
These are very complex issues that require analysis of many criteria，including the energy used in producing and transporting the food，as well as the type of soil and methods of raising the food．
Despite the complexities，there are some general guidelines you can follow．For instance，eat less meat or eat low on the food chain．Your doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consume red meat because of its too much fat content．Beyond that，there are environmental reasons，too．Raise food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more land，energy and water than a plant-based one．
Drinking plenty of fluids is significant during hot weather or when exercising．But is bottled water the way to go？You may not think so when seeing the true costs．Based on a survey，manufacturing the 30-plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than 2.5million tons of carbon dioxide and use here times the amount of water in the bottle．Adding in transportation，the energy used comes to over 50million barrels of oil equivalent （等价物）．Consequently，skip the bottled water and drink tap water，both at home and at restaurants．Additionally，bottled water is not necessarily cleaner than tap．

56．In Paragraph 2the author puts forward three questions mainlyD．
A．to prove Americans have less food to choose from
B．to show us the shopping habits of most Americans
C．to indicate Americans tend to buy food from abroad
D．to remind people to reconsider their food purchase
57．The doctor recommends eating less red meat partly becauseA．
A．it contains too much fat               B．it costs a lot in transportation
C．it is too low on the food chain        D．it isn't related to climate change
58．According to the text，which of the following is true？C
A．Americans all prefer to buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico．
B．The plant-based diet is responsible for the climate change．
C．Americans have a variety of food to choose from．
D．Organic produce is the only choice for Americans．
59．Based on the last paragraph，we know thatB．
A．bottled water is cleaner than tap water
B．tap water is economical as well as eco-friendly
C．bottled water is more available than tap water
D．tap water uses one-third the cost of bottled water
60．What is the best subtitle for the last paragraph？A
A．Skip bottled water，carry tap        B．Drink bottled water
C．Produce plastic water bottles        D．Save water resources．
3．Making greener choices and encouraging healthy lifestyles can promote your health and benefit the environment．Here are some guidelines to follow：
Choose foods thoughtfully
Americans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose from．Besides so many choices，we now hear about our"food print"，the amount of land needed to supply one person's nutritional needs for a year．Do we buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico or tomatoes grown locally in a hothouse？Do we get the Granny Smiths from the farmers'market or the supermarket？Is organic produce healthier for us and the planet？
These are very complex issues that require analysis of many criteria，including the energy used in producing and transporting the food，as well as the type of soil and methods of raising the food．
Despite the complexities，there are some general guidelines you can follow．For instance，eat less meat or eat low on the food chain．Your doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consumption of red meat because of its too much fat content．Beyond that，there are environmental reasons，too．Raising food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more land，energy and water than a plant-based one．
______________________________
Drinking plenty of fluids is significant during hot weather or when exercising．But is bottled water the way to go？You may not think so when seeing the true costs．Based on a survey，manufacturing the 30-plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than 2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide and use three times the amount of water in the bottle．Adding in transportation，the energy used comes to over 50 million barrels of oil equivalent （等价物）．Consequently，skip the bottled water and drink tap water，both at home and at restaurants．Additionally，bottled water is not necessarily cleaner than tap．

56．In Paragraph 2 the author puts forward three questions mainlyD．
A．to prove Americans have less food to choose from
B．to show us the shopping habits of most Americans
C．to indicate Americans tend to buy food from abroad
D．to remind people to reconsider their food purchase

C．The man ever visited the Windsor Castle．
7．How has smoking been controlled in recent years？
People were asked to stop smoking in a range of public places-such as doctors'surgeries，cinemas，theatres and churches-over the second half of the 20th century but it was after the King's Cross Underground fire on November 18，1987，caused by a cigarette end which resulted in 31deaths，that restrictions on smoking in public places gained rapid and widespread acceptance．
How did a ban on smoking in public places come into place？
In 1998the Smoking Kills White Paper set out a national strategy to reduce smoking prevalence （流行） and passive smoking，including in public places．The measures were voluntary and poorly carried out．After a public conference in England in 2004，the Government decided to choose for lawmaking．Scotland went first，with a ban in 2006，followed by the other nations a year later．
What is the current law？
Any person who smokes in enclosed public places，including pubs，offices，on public transport and work vehicles，is breaking the law．It does not extend to private houses．It is also an offence for people in charge of premises （营业场所） to permit others to smoke in them．
How was it received？
It was welcomed by most organizations-except for some pub owners and restaurateurs．Many workplaces in the UK had already introduced smoke-free policies consistent with the legislation （法律，法规） before it was carried out，while others have gone beyond its basic requirements．
All railway facilities，including platforms，footbridges and other areas-whether or not fitting the definition of an enclosed public space-are covered，as are all football grounds and some cricket and athletics stadiums．School grounds are not required to be smoke-free under the legislation，but the majority now are．
How has it been forced？
Compliance （服从） in public premises has been high，with inspections suggesting that 99per cent of places were sticking to the rules．The number of people charged for smoking in cars has been very low，which was due to the problems defining and identifying"work"vehicles．They said that a total ban on smoking in vehicles would end this confusion．
Has it improved health？
Studies in early adopters of the law，including in Scotland，suggest a reduction in hospital admissions for heart disease，which has been shown to be linked to passive smoking．There is also strong evidence of improved rates of smoking end and a drop in the number of cigarettes consumed by those who continue to smoke．

63．When did the first law come out to ban smoking in public places？D
A.1987．           B.1998．
C.2004．           D.2006．
64．Which of the following behaviors may NOT be against the law？C
A．Jack often smokes in the office when he is alone．
B．A taxi driver is smoking with a lady in his car．
C．Tom smokes while thinking of his future at home．
D．Max smokes for relaxation during time-out in the stadium．
65．Who might feel unhappy about the law according to the article？A
A．A restaurant owner．          B．A company manager．
C．A car owner．                  D．A policy maker．
66．What can you infer from the article？B
A．Most heart diseases have been proved to be linked to passive smoking．
B．A new law will soon come out with a total ban on smoking in vehicles．
C．The 1987fire has convinced more people that smoking is bad for health．
D．Most of the school grounds are not smoke-free，as it is not banned in the law．
4．Many animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth．Finless Porpoise （江豚） is one of these endangered（46）animalsthat are dying out．As a student，I am asking you to pay attention （47）tothe situation of Finless Porpoises．Finless porpoises in the Yangtze River are in danger of becoming extinct because they are seriously （48）affected（affect） by human activities．To our disappointment，only about 1，000 are still living at present．We sincerely hope that WWF can play a role in （49）protecting（protect） this endangered species．Firstly，we find （50）itimportant to get sponsorship（赞助）．If the government pays the farmers，they will allow tourists hunt only （51）acertain number of animals．But more importantly，we need information from experts in WWF to help us better understand the animal．In that case，we can take （52）better（good） care of them than before．And prizes will be given to the organizations （53）that/whichcan protect them well．What's more，more workers should（54）be employed（employ） to help us．（55）Although/Though/Whilethe task is challenging，we are confident that we will succeed sooner or later．
5．Nowadays，more and more students choose to take a gap year．That is，they take a yearoffbetween the ending of high school and the beginning of university．
