分析 本文通过故事的形式说明了给予别人快乐，自己也能获得快乐的人生道理．

解答 61．were 考查动词时态和主谓一致．根据once及语境，要用过去进行时态，因主语people是复数，助动词用were．
62．to create 考查动词不定式．decide后接动词时用动词不定式作宾语．
63．using 考查现在分词．each one与use之间是主谓关系，用现在分词作状语．   
64．were collected 考查动词语态．all the balloons与collect之间是动宾关系，且事情发生在过去，用一般过去时的被动语态．
65．to  考查介词．lead sb．to some place意为"领某人到某地方"，是固定搭配．     
66．hurriedly 考查副词．search是动词，要用副词修饰．
67．a 考查冠词．balloon是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指．  　　
68．what 考查连词．分析句子结构，happen缺少主语，用what作其主语，同时引导表语从句．     
69．ourselves 考查代词．根据句意：我们可能喜欢认为自己比别人重要．用代词ourselves．
70．and 考查连词．"祈使句+and+陈述句"句型结构中，前一分句表示一种条件或假设，相当于if条件状语从句，后一分句表示一种结果或推论．

5．Is It Worth Buying Organic Food？
Organic food，grown without artificial chemicals，is increasingly popular nowadays．Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels （商标）．However，if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product，you might want to save your money．A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious，and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria，either．
The latest results，published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine，suggest that buyers may be wasting their money．"We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier，"says Dr．Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford．"So consumers shouldn't assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer．"
For their new study，Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research，including 17studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food
products，and 223studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods，including key vitamins，minerals and fats．
While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content，they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces．Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards．And both organic and traditional meats，such as chicken and pork，were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates．The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3fatty acids，a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease．However，these nutritional differences were too small，and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends．
Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices，but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product．The U．S．Department of Agriculture （USDA） states that"whether you buy organic or not，finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste．"Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic．
5．The new research questions whether organic foodD．
A．should replace traditional food
B．has been overpriced by farmers
C．is grown with less harmful chemicals
D．is really more nutritious and healthier

6．Tips to Increase Your Productivity
Do you want to get more done in your day？Of course you do．（36）G The good news is that everyone can increase the amount of tasks they accomplish in a day．Here are some tips to help you have a more productive day．
Make a plan for your day．Make sure you know how you want your day to go in advance，even before you start．（37）CTo work best，create the next day's plan the night before so that every morning you spend time performing．Not planning．
Break large task down into bits that can be accomplished easily．Do you have a large project that's just so big that you keep putting it off？Or maybe you're just unsure of where to begin，so you put it off．（38）FTherefore，you will feel a sense of accomplishment as you check the items of your list．
Always set your priorities（优先事项）．（39）DFigure out what must be done，do that first and rank the rest of your work according to importance．If you don't get to the items at the end of your list，it won't be a big problem，and you can do them another time．
（40）BIf you are the most productive in the morning that's when you should hit it hard and do as much as you can．If you work better in the afternoon，take care of some things like emails in the morning and then accomplish the important projects in the afternoon．Keep on top of your work habits．And you'll be more productive．

A．Reward yourself if you are productive．
B．Be aware when you are the most productive．
C．This can provide you a roadmap for the day．
D．It's important to accomplish the most important tasks first．
F．A good way is to break the project down into more manageable ones．
G．To stay competitive in any industry，you need to improve your productivity．
3．"City trees，popularly thought to remove pollutants （污染物）and improve urban life，may also increase the amount of polluted air that people breathe，"says the UK body which gives independent health guidance to national and local government．
"Leaves and branches slow airflow，causing pollutants to settle．They may also act as sinks for chemicals that may have direct or indirect effects on air quality．Air quality under trees may deteriorate at street level near vehicles，"says the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence （ NICE）  in new draft guidance for local government to fight against air pollution．
NICE does not recommend the government cut down trees in leafy areas to meet pollution limits，but urges planners，local authorities and developers to take into account the bad effects that trees can have on air quality if badly sited or unmanaged．
"It is not always true that trees reduce air pollution．Their effect is dependent on factors including species，time of year and wind direction．"it says．
The guidelines also question the unintended consequences of other measures often taken by cities to improve people's quality of life．"Road humps（隆起）aimed at slowing traffic and noise barriers alongside busy roads can both increase air pollution，"says NICE．
It proposes（建议）the government consider air pollution at every stage of the planning process．This could extend to where new housing is sited and recommending that developers build new houses with the living room situated furthest away from roads．
"Schools and nurseries should be sited away from main roads，"says NICE．But it also ants to see drivers educated on how to reduce pollution．This could include switching the ngine off when they are dropping people off，or making deliveries，and avoiding rapid ccelerations（加速）and decelerations．
According to the guidelines，action is needed both to insure vehicles on the road are clean nd that there are fewer of them．

32．What does the underlined word"deteriorate"in Paragraph 2probably mean？A
A．worsen    
B．improve   
C．end    
D．exist

A．the size of trees          
B．the speed of wind
C．the growth rate of trees    
D．the types of trees
34．What can we infer from the text？D
A．Tall trees are beneficial to air quality．
C．The number of trees might affect air quality．
B．New houses should be built away from trees．

10．Ben Underwood is blind．Both eyes were removed when he was just three years old，leaving him with no vision at all．So how on earth does he ride his bicycle，play football and basketball？
Ben uses many common aids for the blind，like speaking software．He's also written a book and does his schoolwork on a hi-tech Braille writer．But what's unusual is what he doesn't use．Ben has no guide dog and never uses a white cane．He doesn't even use his hands．Instead，he sees with sound．Amazingly，Ben's ears pick up the echoes（回声）and he can precisely locate where things are．Ben is the only person in the world who sees using nothing but echolocation．
Ben was born perfectly healthy，with dark eyes like his mum．But，when he was two she looked into his eyes and saw something was terribly wrong．This is a rare infant eye cancer that affects only one in every six million．In an attempt to save his sight，doctors immediately began intense chemo and radio therapy，but like a lead balloon．His eyes had been removed．
Just one year after the operation to remove his eyes，in the car he asked his mum what the big building was that they were passing．Ben's ears were picking up the sounds of the city traffic reflecting from the building's surfaces．His mum let him play in the street because his sound pictures seemed to make him more aware of danger than his sighted friends．
There's nothing his friends can do that Ben Underwood won't attempt and conquer．Doctors suspect that Ben Underwood has developed super-hearing to make for his loss of sight．However，tests show that he has only normal hearing．So，has Ben's brain learned to translate the sound he hears into visual information？

31．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 3？C
A．His eye looked like a ball．
B．The doctor stopped their efforts．
C．Nothing really worked．
D．His mother was frightened．
32．What can we infer from the passage？A

12．Recently，scientists have found that dogs are smarter than cats．The reason is （25）that dogs have bigger brains because friendly，social mammals need （26）more （much） grey matter than solitary ones．
The findings come from a study into the brain size of more than 500species of living and fossilized mammals．
The scientists studied the evolution of mammal brains over the last 60million years----from a few million years after the dinosaurs （27）became （become） extinct to the modern day．They discovered that there is a strong link （28）between the size of a brain relative to an animal's body and （29）how sociable that creature is．
Sociable mammals such as whales，dogs，dolphins and humans tend （30）to have （have） much larger brains compared to their bodies．Solitary species such as tigers，cats and rhinos have less grey matter，the scientists found．
"It is interesting to see that even animals that have contact with humans，like cats，（31）have（have） much smaller brains than dogs and horses because of their lack of sociability，"said a scientist．"We humans are even more social than monkeys and apes and it is this ability （32）to get（get） on with each other that has helped us rule the planet．"

Our government is setting about addressing the growing problem with household waste by releasing a pilot plan to reduce the environmental risks，as a result of the low processing capacity．
Obviously，the move taken by our government has far reaching influence．For one thing，large quantities of household waste have been produced by the increasing population in big cities so that heavier burdens are added to the slowly developing processing capacity，endangering people's life．For another，sorting and separating the waste contributes a lot to natural resources，which causes less damage to the environment．
From my perspective，we should form the habit of separating and classifying the waste before it is thrown away，In the meanwhile，it is always advisable to buy reusable items so as to reduce waste．Last but mot least，we should do our part to influence as many people around us as possible by our own deeds．．
