【题目】Selena Gomez and I are scheduled to meet at a lowkey coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting, I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early. As I was catching up on emails, Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me. No bodyguard. Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts. She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate.

After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot, she dived into the subject of her career. Selena declared 2012 the year of movies. She filmed three: Spring Breakers, a drama; The Getaway, an action flick; and Hotel Transylvania, a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.

Now that her Disney days are behind her, Selena is at that unstable point in a child star's career where she is trying to grow up—both as a person(she turned 20 in July)and as an artist. “Being part of the Disney Channel was such a blessing, and I'm super happy with what my show accomplished, but acting is something I would like to take on more seriously.” She continued, “I don't necessarily feel accomplished. I want to create a whole different person when it comes to acting.”

Selena has been working fulltime since she was seven years old and scored a role on Barney&Friends. In 2007, when she was offered the lead in Wizards of /span>Waverly Place, Selena, her mother, and her stepfather uprooted from Texas to LA , where they are settling now.

【3】What did Selena think of Disney days which were behind her?

B．She didn't feel very satisfied with her show in Disney.

C．She found her not accomplished in her performance in Disney.

Once a man got on a bus for New York. He hid in toilet, because he did not want to pay. But a passenger saw her. She tapped the person in front of her on the shoulder and say, "There's a bum(流浪汉) in the toilet. Tell the bus driver." The message was passing from person to person. But anywhere along the way, it changed. The bus driver was told that there was a bomb in the toilet. He immediate stopped the bus and telephoned the police. When the police came to, they told the passengers to get off the bus or stay far away. Then they closed the highway. This soon caused a 15-miles-long traffic jam. Under the help of a dog, the police searched for two hours. Of course they found no bomb!

【题目】Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don't run the streets. Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.

But despite this, our children are growing up naturedeprived(剥夺). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

We need the wild world. It is essential to our wellbeing, our health and our happiness.

【1】According to the author, people enjoy ________ to seek nature.

A．jogging on the street

B．sitting in the garden

C．shopping in the supermarket

D．running in the gym

【2】From the second paragraph, we can see that ________.

A．adults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature

B．climbing trees will certainly do good to the children

C．children probably spend less time in nature nowadays

D．children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction

【3】In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?

A．Children with ADHD can be cured.

B．A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.

C．Problems with crime and violent behaviour will easily be solved.

D．Children's performance at school is greatly improved.

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Access to nature improves our life.

B．Nature treats children for ADHD.

C．Getting close to nature reduces crime.

D．Man can't live without natural areas.

【题目】To prevent the deserts coming near, China has planted billions of trees---to replace destroyed forests and as barriers against the sand. This isn’t a cure, though, say experts, as thirsty trees can make the problem worse by taking in groundwater.

“Planting trees is one way, but it isn’t that simple. It doesn’t solve the basic issue of water resources,” says Wu Bo, a professor. “We need to calculate how much water the trees will absorb, or else it could have a negative effect.”

Villagers in Zhengxin have taken on this challenge, with limited success. When the irrigation channels began to run dry, Lu Xianglin switched from wheat to cotton on his land. He also planted trees to protect his fields from sandstorms. He says he still gets good yields（产量） using flood irrigation and earns a good income for his family.

Other farmers haven’t stuck it out（坚持到底）: about one in three have left Zhengxin in the past 10 years after their wheat crops died. Young people who can find jobs in the towns rarely return.

Last week, Mr Lu joined the other men in his village on a government-arranged trip to see the land that has been set aside for their relocation, nearly 40 miles to the south. The next day, he was back, shaking his head at the plan. The idea of uprooting his family troubles him, as does the idea of giving up the land that fed his forefathers. He prefers to stay and keep up the fight.

“With enough water, this problem can be solved,” Lu says. “We can plant trees and grass, and they will grow bigger. That will stop the desert.”

Experts say that farmers could switch to drip irrigation （滴灌）to lessen their water intake for growing crops. Elsewhere in the region, farmers have built brick greenhouses as part of a plan to grow vegetables using less water. Roadside signs urge farmers to “Save Water, Protect the Environment”.

【1】The negative effect of planting trees in deserts is that __________.

A. it can make groundwater become less

B. it can prevent the sand moving freely

C. it can stop crops growing well

D. it can get the soil to become poor

【2】Why did Mr. Lu NOT accept the idea of relocation?

A. Because the plan of relocation will cost him much money.

B. Because his family had trouble moving away.

C. Because he was reluctant to give up his land.

D. Because he would rather stay than fight against the deserts.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The deserts drive more and more people to leave their homes for their lives.

B. People have no means to fight against the land becoming desert.

C. Water is the biggest barrier for people to stop the desert.

D. Planting trees cannot solve the problem of desertification of farmland.

【4】What advice is given by experts to save water?

A. To plant more trees.

B. To build greenhouses.

C. To change crops.

D. To use drip irrigation.

Dear Peter,

I’m very glad to receive your e-mail asking for information about the host family we have arranged you to stay with.

Locating in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, the house was big enough to enable you to have a room of your own. Apart from the convenient public transportation, our private car will make your visits difficult. Because all the family members can speak fluently English and have outgoing personalities, I’m sure you will have no trouble to communicating with them. Above all, they hosted the American student last year, through that they gained lots of experience. In addition, the hostess cooking will guarantee you a wonderful chance of tasting delicious Chinese food.

Hope you enjoy your stay here.
