Car sharing is another way to drive green that’s gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas.People who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事)or drive on weekends benefit most from car sharing.Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are non-profit (非营利的)and informal car sharing services.Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they need one.The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation, and then go to the pickup spot.

       Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road.Members don’t drive just because they are in a car.They plan trips, and if they don’t need a car, they don’t use one.Still, a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day.Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership.They usually don’t have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance (保养), and the monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment.So if you really want to go green but aren’t ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go.

       If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!

I was listening to the radio while 1 was driving home from coaching basketball yesterday. I could tell right away that there was something  41  by the mood of the speaker. There had been a plane crash. What made the 42  even more tragic was that Bob Collins,the morning show man, was among those who had been killed. Throughout my 40-minute  43 , I listened as sincere love and affection from the audience  44 .The more I listened about how this man had influenced those around him, the more   45 I became.
That was because I wanted to know  46 we as a culture, wait until somebody has passed away before we tell them how much they  47 to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we  48 someone up after they have died? Yes,49  memory after memory about someone's good  50 does help us cope with the sadness of losing someone special to us. But as we  51 remember this person, our words fall short of the ears that most need to hear  52 .
Just once,  53 a gathering of death,1 would like to see a celebration of life,  54 stories are told, tears fall down,laughter rings out;and as the speaker  55 his or her loving tribute(颂词), the person they are  56  rises from the chair and gives them a  57 hug! Wouldn’t that be   58 !
Life is too short to leave kind words   59 . How I wish that when the unavoidable funeral finally comes,we could say  60 with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth.

第三部分:阅读理解(共16小题;每小题1.5分,满分24分)

阅读下列短文,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。  

You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday, when what they really mean is that they want one. Certainly, people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during holidays, and experience a changed environment.

However, work for many people today is office work and mental, rather than physical tasks. These people may seek much more energy-taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach. 

Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. For many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being on holiday. It may give them a “lift” in facing some difficulties in life.

Most of us also enjoy showing off the lovely tans --- dark skins we get from a holiday. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common; although we join a tan together with health, it has been fully shown that too much sunshine will result in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one’s skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.

A. love working outdoors all the time

57. When office people have holidays, they often _________ .

A. lie on the beach and enjoy sunshine
