Hundreds of years ago,life was much harder than it is today. People didn^ have modern machines. There was no modern medicine,either.

Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It killed our fish and a our drinking water. b pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It^'s hard to all the living things in the world. Cars,planes and factories all pollute our air every day; (2) sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt (被子) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is poured away. They mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air.

We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. (3) 如果开车的人更少了，空气污染就更少了。

B(2015 •河南安阳二模) 

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.A man goes shopping because he needs something. All men simply walk into a shop and ask for what they want. If the shop has it,the salesman quickly finds it,and the business of trying it on continues at once. All being well,the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes.

For a man,small problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. Then,the salesman tries to sell the customer something else. “I know this jacket is not the style (款式) you want,sir,but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the colour you mentioned. ^?,Few men have patience with this treatment,and the usual reply is,^uThis is the right colour and maybe the right size,but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. ”

However,a woman does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on (以......为基础) need,and she is only“having a look around”. She is always open to persuasion;really she believes in what the saleswoman tells her. She will try on any number of things. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected sale. Faced with a roomful of dresses,a woman may easily spend an hour going from one room to another,often going back over again,before choosing the dresses she wants to try on. It is always tiring,but obviously (明显地) enjoyable. Most dress shops provide chairs .for the waiting husbands.

III.阅读理解(8小题，共24分)

A  (2015 •湖北随州)

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my brother's education and mine. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. For them,I love you” is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen.

One day,my mother was repairing a quilt (被子) . I silently sat beside her and looked at her. “Mum,may I ask you a question?” I said. “What?” she replied,still doing her work.

Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise. She didn't answer my question at once. Then,she bowed her head and continued to do her work.

I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings. I felt so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words：

“Look at this thread (线) .Sometimes it appears,but most of the time,it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt,then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime,but it's really there. ”

Once I thought love meant flowers,gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience,I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside,making life strong and warm.
