11.Keeping a diary in English is an (61)effective(effect) way to improve our English writing ability.
(62)Compared(compare) with other forms of writing,it is shorter and takes (63)less(little) time.It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English.If we persist in this practice,gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English.In keeping a diary in English,we certainly run up against many (64)difficulties(difficulty).In the first place,(65)it often happens that we have trouble (66)finding(find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind.Secondly,there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese.And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English (67)properly (proper).

分析 在本短文中作者讲述了记英语日记的重要性,它是提高英语写作能力的有效方法,与其它写作方式相比,日记比较简短,用时较少,能帮助我们养成英语思考的习惯.当然在记英语日记的过程中会遇到很多困难,尤其是很难找到适当的单词来表达意思.就作者而言,他建议要随身携带一个笔记本和汉英词典,随时记下身边发生的事情.总之,养成写英语日记的习惯对提高我们的英语写作能力是有很大用处的.

解答 61.effective;考查形容词.所填词修饰名词way,故应该用effect的形容词形式effective (有效的).
62.Compared; 考查动词分词的用法.(be)compared with表示"与…相比较",此处用作状语.注意首字母要大写.
63.less;考查比较级.根据and和shorter判断此处应该用little的比较级less,指写日记用的时间较少.
64.difficulties;考查名词.many后面跟名词的复数形式,故用difficulties.
65.it;考查it的用法.It happens that…表示"碰巧…".在句中it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面的that从句.
66.finding; 考查非谓语动词.have trouble (in) doing sth."做某事有困难",是固定用法.
67.properly;考查词性转换.这里用副词形式修饰动词短语put into.
68.am concerned;考查固定短语.as far as sb/sth be concerned是固定短语,表示"就某人/事而言".
69.If;考查状语从句;根据上下文句义,这里用if引导一个条件状语从句,表示"如果有什么事情发生,就可以随时把它记下来".
70.of 考查介词; 此处是"be+of+抽象名词"相当于"be+形容词".

点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案.

6.In the 1990s,when an area of Brazilian rainforest the size of Belgium was cut down every year,Brazil was the world's environmental villain(反派角色) and the Amazonian jungle the image of everything that was going wrong in green places.Now,the Amazon ought to be the image of what is going right.Government figures show that deforestation fell by 70% in the Brazilian Amazon region during the past decade.If clearances had continued at their rate in 2005,an extra 3.2billion tonnes of carbon dioxide would have been put into the atmosphere.That is an amount equal to a year's emissions from the European Union.Arguably,then,Brazil is now the world leader in addressing climate change.
But how did it break the vicious cycle(恶性循环)?The answer,according to a paper is that there was no silver bullet but instead a three-stage process in which bans,better governance in frontier areas and consumer pressure on companies worked.
The first stage ran from the mid-1990s to 2004.This was when the government put its efforts into bans and restrictions.The Brazilian Forest Code said that,on every farm in the Amazon,80% of the land had to be set aside as a forest reserve.As the study observes,this share was so high that the code could not be followed-or enforced.This was the period of the worst deforestation.Soybean prices were high and there was a vast expansion of soybean farming on the south-eastern border of the rainforest.
During the second stage,which ran from 2005to 2009,the government tried to boost its ability to police the Amazon.Brazil's president made stopping deforestation a priority,which resulted in better co-operation between different bits of the government.The area in which farming was banned was increased from a sixth to nearly half of the forest.
The third stage,which began in 2009,was a test of whether a system of restrictions could survive as soybean expansion continued.The government shifted its focus from farms to counties (each state has scores of these).Farmers in the 36counties with the worst deforestation rates were banned from getting cheap credit until those rates fell.
By any standards,Brazil's Amazon policy has been a success,made the more remarkable because it relied on restrictions rather than rewards,which might have been expected to have worked better.Over the period of the study,Brazil also turned itself into a farming superpower,so the country has shown it is possible to get a huge increase in food output without destroying the forest.Moreover,the policies so far have been successful among commercial farmers who care about the law and respond to market pressures.Most remaining deforestation is by small holders who care rather less about these things,so the government faces the problem of persuading them to change their ways,too.Deforestation has been slowed,but not yet stopped.

73.Brazil is considered to play a leading role in dealing with climate change becauseC.
A.it has rainforest as large as Belgium
B.it has cut down too much rainforest
C.it has taken action to reduce deforestation
D.it sent 3.2billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air

A.a powerful weapon       B.an effective solution
C.an intelligent device   D.a golden opportunity

B.Soybean prices went up where farming land was expanded.
C.The government hired more policemen in the Amazon area.
D.The government enlarged its range of supervision in the 3rd stage.

B.All the farmers care much about forest protection.
C.Small farm holders are a headache for the Brazilian government.
D.Both the food output and the forest in Brazil have greatly increased.

3.New'York City has lots and lots of buildings,and many people live-there-almost 8 million people!Human beings take a lot of things from the earth,'and they also put a lot of things back into it,including things that pollute the air or use up natural resources.
"Eco-friendly,"or"green"buildings in New York City are good for the environment."Green"living helps save natural resources,makes the air cleaner,and helps us breathe better.
    We spend about 90 percent of our day indoors,where the air quality can actually be much worse than it is outside.
    Certain buildings have more access to natural daylight,appliances that use less energy,and encourage people to use environmentally friendly practices.Green buildings give the people who live in them cleaner air to breathe,and some even have sensors that turn lights on and off when you walk into or leave a room. The buildings also capture and reuse rainwater.
    The Albanese Organization built the first green residential building in North America in 2003.It is called the Solaire,and is located in Battery Park City.Now,in 2013,they are building another new green building in Battery Park City called the Visionaire,which is so environmentally friendly that it is being called America's greenest"high-rise building.       
     The building pud6es and reuses water,using 50% less water than a typical high-rise building. Some of the building's electricity is powered by the sun,and the fresh air is filtered to take pollutants out.
     The buildings themselves were all built using recycled materials from other construction projects,so that. those materials do not just end up in a garbage clump.  It costs more for companies to make these buildings,so the people who live in them have to pay more,too*But reduced energy bills help you save money.  And if you have allergies(过敏),you may end Lip saving on doctors'bills,too,since these buildings are healthier to live in.
"I have a history of asthma(哮喘)and hypersensitivity(高度过敏)to odors and allergens in the air,"said a Visionaire resident,Rod McCowan,52."The air is crisp and pure.  I can tell I'm breathing better."

10.The earth is dying before us yet we sit and watch.If the TV or the game system breaks,we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost.Why aren't we willing to fix our earth?Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live?Where shall we continue to live,until the end of time?
The earth is our home and cannot be replaced.We must take care of it.We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us.Take that game system we run to repair.What does it do?It occupies kids'time!The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills,forests and plains,water and land.However,instead of using what the earth has given us,and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around,we decide to ruin kids'minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours,and make them ignore their homework and chores.We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help in any way!
We have already messed up this world,we have ruined the air,water,and animals that it has so willingly provided for us.We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before.It will not be easy,but everybody can help!What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room?Recycling what can be recycled?Picking up litter?Donating money to an environmental organization?None of these things are very hard.We can't just always say,"Oh,the earth is a mess.Ah,well,those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it."Instead,we need to help out.It's not only those big companies; it's everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth.So stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!

7.Cooking programs and classes for children seem to positively influence children's food preferences and behaviors,according to a recent review.And,although the review didn't look at long-term effects of such programs,the findings suggest that such programs might help children develop long-lasting healthy habits.
This research comes at a time when childhood obesity(肥胖) rates have been rising rapidly.More than one-third of adolescents in the United States were obese in 2012,according to the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).This trend has been caused,at least in part,by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s,according to background information in the study.
Cooking education programs,such as Food Explorers,teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them.They also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day.A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group,and the kids make something based on the lesson,such as fruit or vegetable salad.Depending on the program,kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents,the review explained.
The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programs.Children in these classes were between 5and 12years old,according to the review.The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient program to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetime.The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions.This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods,which helps them build healthy habits.
The study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in(参与) their children's eating habits.Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home.Children are more comfortable at home,which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience.

36.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A
A.Eating out frequently causes obesity.
B.Childhood obesity is totally caused by eating habit.
C.Childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly since 2012
D.Food consumption has decreased significantly since the 1980s.
37.On cooking education programs,C.
A.children learn how to prepare foods from their parents
B.children will learn how to cook in the company of their parents
C.children may learn information unknown to their parents
D.children focus more on cooking skills than on information about healthy foods
38.Which of the following is true according to the study?B
A.Parents should let their kids cook independently at home.
B.A greater willingness to try new foods helps building healthy habits.
C.Children who participate in cooking programs are less likely to become obese.
D.Children who take cooking courses are more likely to choose fruits and vegetables as adults.
39.Which of the following categories does this passage belong to?D
A.Education Systems
B.Science and Technology
C.Parent-child Relationship
D.Public Health Research
40.The purpose of the passage isA.
A.to inform the reader
B.to entertain the reader
C.to discuss with the reader
D.to warn the reader.
8.Plastic bags that can help bread and cheese remain fresh for a long time have been developed by scientists.The technology,which uses chemicals that prevent bacteria and fungi (真霉) from growing,allows food to last longer.It could put an end to throwing away supermarket bread after just a couple of days in the bread bin and cheese that goes mouldy after just a few weeks.
The company,Janssen,has spent two years developing the technology with the plastics manufacturer,Symphony Environmental.They are now in discussion with several food factories and supermarkets about using the bags for their products.The technology could also be used to make credit cards and the new plastic bank notes more hygienic (卫生的).Tests have shown that the plastic can increase the shelf life of bread and cheese without letting the food go bad.Michael Stephen,director of Symphony Environmental,said the plastic also has the potential to do the same for fruit,vegetables and even meat.He said,"we have come up with a way of making the plastic that is antibacterial and that can be used in food wrapping.We have done a lot of tests on food packaging which have shown such plastic can reduce the mould that grows on both bread and cheese."
In Britain,around 15 million tons of food is thrown away each year,mostly because it has spoiled or gone bad.Bread is the most wasted food,with families throwing away 4.4 million tons a year-about a third of all the bread purchased by UK families.Tesco,Britain's biggest supermarket,revealed last month that almost half of the bread sold in its stores ended up in the bin.
The technology developed by Janssen and Symphony,which they have called D2P,fixes antibacterial and antifungal chemicals to the plastic.They have found it can control bacteria which can cause food poisoning.It can also control the growth of fungi on bread and others.
Mr.Stephen added,"Initially we expect that it is only used in pipes and door handles,for example,to help reduce the spread of bacteria.It can also be put into man-made fibers so we are doing some experiments to put it into clothes to stop the bacteria that can cause them to smell."
59.What would happen when people use the plastic bags produced by Janssen?C
A.The sales of bread and cheese would increase soon.
B.Bread and cheese could be stored in a fridge for years.
C.Bread and cheese could be kept for a longer time.
D.Supermarket bread and cheese would be on sale earlier.
60.Why does the writer mention the problem in Britain in Paragraph 3?D
A.To criticize the behaviour of the British.
B.To show the popularity of bread.
C.To criticize the increasing waste of bread.
D.To show the short shelf life of bread.
61.It can be concluded from Mr.Stephen's words thatA.
A.more daily uses for this technology are expected
B.this technology is only used used in pipes and door handles
C.man-made fibers should be improved by this technology
D.people's preference for this technology cannot be expected
62.The passage can be classified asB.
A.an annual review                B.a news report
C.an advertisement                D.a travel guide.
