As we can see from the chart,the climate in this place had changed greatly in the past three years. I think there might be several reason,of which the biggest is environmental destruction. It mainly caused by cutting down trees,pollutes the air and the water and so on. I be?lieve that the climate here will become bad than ever if nothing is done about them. This place will become hot and dry,but it will be hard for people to live. It is sugges?ted what the government take measures to protect the en?vironment and make this place the good place to live in. Otherwise,people will have to leave for it. Do you agree with me?

  Were you the first or the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people think 47.        matters when you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children,48.      are smart and strongwilled,are very likely 49.        (succeed) . The reason 50.        this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention.   An only child will succeed for 51.        same reason. What happens to the 52.        children in the family? Middle children don't get so much attention,so they don't feel that impor?tant. If a family has many children,the middle one some?times gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child,53.       ，often gets special treatment. Often this child grows up to be funny. But a recent study saw things quite 54.        (difference) . The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn't take many chances in 55.        lives. They usually 56.        (follow) orders. Rules didn't mean as much to later children in the family. They took chances and they often did better in life.

   I have been driving for over 30 years,but I can still remember what happened that day when I drove a car for the first time. My mum had driven our big Plymouth to a 27       and deserted back road and 28        it. It was a oneway road and had a 29       built with river rocks along the side of it,but Mum knew there was little 30        of meeting any traffic on it that day. With a smile,she gave me the key and 31        seats with me. And then she told me to 32        the car,to put it into drive and to 33        push on the gas pedal.

  In spite of excitement,I 34       what "gently" meant.  After I pushed on the gas pedal,the car sped 35       . Before I could turn the 36       ,I heard the scratch of metal against the stone wall. I 37       the car and looked over at Mum. Her face was 38        and her hands were trembling. Slowly,she opened her door and began checking the car. Then she walked 39        around the car to the drivers side door. I kept waiting for her to 40        at me but she just 41        and said, "Well,that's enough for today. We'll try again tomorrow."

  As I 42        that day,I am amazed at the 43       amount of kindness,love and 44        my mum showed me. In the years that followed,I messed up many times in many ways. Often I didn't feel worthy to be 45       ,but each time I could feel Mum's gentle voice, "We'll try again tomorrow."When we fall today,don't stay 46      Rise up and be ready to try again tomorrow.

 Here are tips for a successful speech from a profes?sional speechwriter：

No speech should last more than 20 minutes. 22      The Sermon on the Mount,a collection of sayings and teachings of Jesus,for example,lasted hardly more than three minutes.

  Focus on one topic. We're human and tend to have lots of thoughts,opinions and ideas. You have to make the proper selection. 23       Include and expand only those that explain and support your viewpoint (观点) .

  24      It's important to remember that your words must be hearable and understandable the first time out.

Humour is vital. 25       Ronald Reagan always wan?ted to joke at the start of a speech because he needed the quick victory of laughter. It helped him relax. It also helped the audience relax.

Don't forget to say thanks. You should always,at the beginning of the speech,thank the person who invited you and introduced you. 26       While you're doing it,the audience gets a chance to daydream and settle down. They're going to daydream at some point anyway,and it may as well be before you get to the heart of your re?marks.

   A. Choose your words carefully.

   B. And saying thanks at the beginning has a practical purpose.

   C. First you have to work out what you're going to say.

   D. Every speech needs it,and you need it,too,probably at the beginning.

   E. Stick to one subject―the future of the soccer club,for example.

   F. This process takes time,so start once you begin thinking about the speech.

   G. The. more important the message is,the less time it requires to say it.

  While every dog owner knows their dogs can read their moods perfectly,scien?tists have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna,Austria,we finally have some convincing evidence.

  For their study,biologist Corson Mill?er and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewar?ded for touching the screen when showing a happy face,while the other half given their treat for selec?ting those that appeared angry.

  Interestingly,the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That's because the sci?entists believe humans show their eruptions on their entire face.

  After some training on how to recognize small differ?ences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expres?sions* the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.

  They also found those being trained to read angry ex?pressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting,causing them to withdraw quickly. However,once the smart dogs realized they were getting the reward,the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact,the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" that scientists had a hard time keep?ing them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.

  The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touching screen models were all fe?males,this confirmed what had been observed in previous studies―dogs are more efficient at reading facial expres?sions of people that are the same gender as their owner.

18. How did the scientists conduct the experiment?

   A. By leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry.

   B. By mixing the selected dogs together.

   C. By rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen.

   D. By showing digital pictures of women's happy or angry faces.

19. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

   A. The dogs were all provided with the entire face.

   B. According to their size,the dogs were given either upper or lower halves.

   C. The dogs could read even small changes that ac?company facial expressions after some training.

   D. The dogs couldn't read strangers' facial emotions.

20. The underlined word " trepidation”in Paragraph 5 probably means "      ".

   A. horror   B. curiosity

   C. excitement   D. doubt

21. How might the results change if the dogs with female owners are shown pictures of male faces?

   A. They could only tell emotions on partial faces rather than on entire faces.

   B. They found it hard to tell the moods on the faces of a different gender.

   C. They found it easy to tell the emotions on the en?tire face.

   D. They would be scared away at the sight of the pic?tures.

  [2015北京学年度第一学期开学] An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.

  In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all,the programme allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus,as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起) the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book" project in 1998. Her original programme used author visits,study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book,but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities,and even to Hong Kong.

  In Chicago,the mayor appeared on television to an?nounce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book,One Chicago" programme. As a result,reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US,stories emerged of par?ents and children reading to each other at night and stran?gers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

  The only problem arose in New York,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns,where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than the discussion about a book itself.

  Ultimately as Nancy points out,the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book,but by how many people are enriched by the process or have en?joyed speaking to someone with whom they would not oth?erwise have shared a word.

14. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

   A. To invite authors to guide readers.

   B. To encourage people to read and share.

   C. To involve people in community service.

   D. To promote the friendship between cities.

15. According to the passage,where would the project be more easily carried out?

   A. In large communities with little sense of unity.

   B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.

   C. In mediumsized cities with a diverse population.

   D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.

16. The underlined words "shared a word" in Paragraph 5 probably mean "      "

   A. exchanged ideas with each other

   B. discussed the meaning of a word

   C. gave life experience

   D. used the same language

17. According to Nancy,the degree of success of the pro?ject is judged by       .

   A. the careful selection of a proper book

   B. the growing popularity of the writers

   C. the number of people who benefit from reading

   D. the number of books that each person reads
