【题目】The weather predictions for Asia in 2050 read like a script from a doomsday movie, which has aroused more experts' concern about this serious problem.

Many climatologists and green groups fear they will come true unless there is a concerted global effort to rein in greenhouse gas emission 排放).

In the decades to come, Asia --- home to more than half the world's 6.3 billion people – will lurch (突然倾斜) from one climate extreme to another, with poor farmers battling droughts, floods, disease, food shortages and rising sea levels.

"It's not a pretty picture:' said Steve Sawyer, climate policy adviser with Greenpeace in Amsterdam. Global warming and changes to weather patterns are already occurring and there is enough excess carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come.

Already, changes are being felt in Asia but worse is likely to come, Sawyer and top climate bodies say, and could lead to mass migration (移民)and widespread humanitarian crises.

According to predictions, glaciers will melt faster, some Pacific and Indian Ocean islands will have to be abandoned or build sea defenses, storms will become more violent and insect and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms.

All this comes on top of rising populations and increasing demand for food, water and other resources. Experts say environmental degradation(退化)such as deforestation and pollution will likely increase the influences of climate change.

In what could be a foretaste of the future, Japan was hit by a record 10 typhoons and tropical storms in this year, while two-thirds of Bangladesh, parts of Nepal and large areas of northeastern India were flooded, affecting 50 million people, destroying livelihoods and making tens of thousands ill. The year before, a winter cold snap and a summer heat wave killed more than 2,000 people in India.

【1】In the passage, the author indicates that the weather predictions for Asia are _ _

A. frightening B. exciting

C. surprising D. satisfying

【2】Which of the following is NOT included in the weather prediction?

A. Some Pacific islands will have to build sea defenses.

B. Storms will become stronger.

C. The diseases spread by water will move into new areas.

D. Two-third of Bangladesh will be flooded.

【3】The passage is intended to_ _ .

A. tell people not to believe in the weather prediction for Asia

B. inform people of natural disasters that happened in Asia

C. increase people's awareness of the severe consequence of gas emissions

D. introduce a movie to environmental experts

【4】The passage is probably taken from__ _ .

A. a newspaper B. a trade journal

C. a biology book D. a fashion magazine

Five Ways Animals Help Us Live a Happier life

Have you ever thought about the role of pets on this planet? They are not just animals; they’re creatures of God that make us feel happier in this world.There are several way pets can help us live a happier life.

Pets are the most devoted creatures

【1】 Old and wise people often joke that if you want to find a real friend and be sure that they’ll never betray（背叛you, then start keeping a pet.

They teach us to become better

Pets are very sensitive and wise creatures. 【2】 Unlike people, animals don’t create problems out of nothing. They are free of negative thoughts and inner pain. Their pure hearts are made for loving their owners. People should learn to love, care and smile selflessly, like their pets usually do.

【3】

It may seem strange, but pets have the power to heal both physical and mental human disorders. Thousands of real stories prove their healing ability. It’s scientifically proved that many pets, especially cats can feel the emotions of their owners and soothe physical and mental pain.

They make us more organized

I must confess that several years ago I was a bit unorganized person. 【4】 When Johnson appeared in my life, I became more organized, because I felt myself responsible for his life. All kinds of pets require a lot of attention and care. That’s why their owners should be more active in order to bring up a wonderful and healthy pet.

Pets can feel danger/span> and save us

The research proves that pets can feel danger in advance. Pets begin to behave strange when they feel danger, trying to give their owners a sign that something terrible is going to happen. 【5】

A. Whenever you are in a bad mood, pets are always there for you.

B. If you’re a responsible person, but suffer from lack of self-organization, then keep a pet.

C. I found it difficult to manage my time and life according to the schedule.

D. Pets can heal the wounds of our soul and body

E. Nowadays I meet more and more people totally disappointed in human friendship and love.

F. It seems to me that they know the truth of life.

G. That’s why owners should be more attentive to notice the signs given by their pets

【题目】语法填空

I set a date for a cleanup together with some other climbers . 【7】 (expect) , more than 300 people showed up . We collected about 6,000 pounds of trash over three days . It was 【8】 (amaze) how much we were able to accomplish—the park looked clean ! I often hear people complain about their surroundings . I want to say the only way to change things is by doing rather than 【9】 (complain) . We need to teach by example . We cannot blame others 【10】 we start with ourselves .

【题目】People are interested in eating raw foods or whole foods partly because eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation（酸堆积）in our body.

Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and processed foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes（酶）that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both cases, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat.

Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite system that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls（血管壁）and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism（新陈代谢）becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.

To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will balance the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore our enzyme balance. We need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If we truly want to change and help our body heal itself, we need to take an active approach.

【1】We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that __________.

A. it is essential for us to digest some fat

B. cooked and processed foods are healthier

C. foods with natural enzymes help us keep fit

D. absorbing many nutrients is beneficial to our health

【2】Processed foods will probably __________.

A. stop body’s metabolism B. be difficult to digest

C. destroy body’s cells D. lead to obesity

【3】The underlined word “ vicious ” in the last paragraph probably means __________.

A. harmful B. violent

C. progressive D. positive

【4】To change and help our body heal itself, we need to __________.

A. consume enough acid foods

B. identify enzyme production

C. avoid restoring our enzyme balance

D. eat the right types of raw and whole foods

【题目】Dear Friend,

The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there’s a huge market out there.

And there’s a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children’s books bought each year … plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.

Who are these needed writers? They’re ordinary folks like you and me.

But am I good enough?

I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn’t know where to turn for help.

Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing ability, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.

The promise that paid off

The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:

You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.

I really didn’t expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.

Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children’s books and over 300 stories and articles.

Free test and brochure

We offer a free ability test and will send you a copy of our brochure（小册子）describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.

Realize your writing dream today. There’s nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.

Sincerely,

Kristi Hill, Instructor

Institute of Children’s Literature

【题目】To get to the tennis court, Conner Stroud has to push his wheelchair there.

The 15-yea-old from North Carolina, US was born without legs. But when he picks up his racquet(球拍) and begins to hit a ball, you quickly see that the young man just want to win.

Stroud began playing tennis at age 5 at the small tennis club his parents own. For years, he played against able-bodied players by putting rubber on the stumps (残余部分) of his legs. Though he was a foot (30.48cm) or two shorter than many of the players he played against, he won a number of matches. He became well-known enough that he got to meet Rafael Nadal, his favorite player at the US Open in 2013.

“The most important thing is that he’s happy,” Nadal told reports about Stroud after that 15-minute meeting. “He’s playing tennis... That’s a great example of being happy even if life doesn’t give you everything.”

Stroud started playing wheelchair tennis at 13 and now he is No 1 in the US.

Earlier this summer, he played for the US in the world’s biggest junior wheelchair team tennis event --- the World Team Cup. He played six matches and won five of them as the US won the cup for the first time since 2000.

“He is a polite boy , but he will rip（撕扯）your heart out trying to beat you,” Jason Harnett, a United States Tennis Association coach, said of Stroud. “You see that attitude in a lot of the best players, whether they are able-bodied or disabled.

Teenage players can often get disappointed and angry. Racquets sometimes get thrown. Players shout at themselves after missed shots. Stroud never does that.

“ I just try to stay positive,” Stroud said. “After every point, I try to say I’m going to win the next point, or the next game, or the next game, or the whole match.

“ There’s always room to be positive . You can always win another time.”

【1】How is Conner Stroud different from other tennis players?

A. He was disabled in a car accident.

B. He has been coached by his father since the age of 5.

C. He is too short to be a tennis player

D. He was born disabled , yet he plays tennis well.

【2】What impressed Rafael Nadal the most about Conner Stroud?

A. His desire to win the match.

B. His happiness about playing tennis.

C. His faith in life, even though he is disabled.

D. The training he went through to play tennis.

【3】Which of the following words best described Conner Stroud?

A. Positive B. Independent

C. Humorous D. Considerate
