【题目】A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.

A biodegradable(生物所能分解的)mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.

Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.

Engineers have designed a small transparent(透明的)window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.

As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature, according to the scientists.

“The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.

请阅读以下圣诞购物者的信息,然后匹配这些购物者和他们拟买的礼物。

【1】 Anna is decorating her Christmas tree. But she finds she hasn’t bought any stockings yet. She needs to hang the stockings on the tree and some on the chimney so that children can find their gifts from Santa Claus.

2Martin is looking for a Christmas gift for his six-year-old nephew. He is a loyal fan of David Beckham.

3Nick’s sister, aged 4, is fond of cartoons(卡通). She has got a collection of Snoopy, Winne the pooh. Nick wonders what would be the best Christmas gift for her.

4Sabrina’s considering buying a Christmas gift for her younger brother. He, at the age of 9, is crazy for video games. He has already had an X-box, but he wants more games.

【题目】Every day, life is made and lost. Every day, life goes on. Every day we experience some of the most important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren't just important to us; they make the world what it is.

Scientists say that gravitational(重力的)force makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes it go round. Love can be found anywhere: in families, friends, even complete strangers. Even if you can’t see it, you know it's there.

Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity? Whether after a national disaster, or a school fund-raiser, one thing is certain--it is better to give than to receive. Generosity is found everywhere and whether it's a large or small act, it makes a difference. Most of all, being generous is not something you need any qualifications for, but no matter what you do, it can make a difference, Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.

Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing an essay, these are all finished with perseverance. Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists to discover cures for diseases, and athletes to become champions. You may fail, but every time you make a mistake, that's one less to make the next time.

There is an infinite(无穷的)number of things we value, but without love, generosity and perseverance, we just don't think that our life or the world would be the way it is.

【1】The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______ ”.

A. the world B. gravitational force

A. Perseverance is the only thing that can help us to achieve success.

B. People don't understand the life they are experiencing at all.

C. We can find love in complete strangers sometimes,

D. What the world is like depends on gravity and love.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Success and Failure. B. Three Values.

C. Endless Love. D. Life full of Hope.
