Dear Sir or Madam,

          I am glad to hear that you’re calling for volunteers to do something for the elderly in nursing homes. I sincerely hope I can join;in and do something helpful.

          I think I can do a good job there. First,I 5 have grandparents at home,so I know what;the elderly think about and how to talk with;them. Besides,I have taken part in several similar activities before and gained much experience. More importantly,I have patience and love getting along with the elderly.

           When getting there,we can first help clean their rooms, and help them have a bath. Then we can invite them to take a walk outdoors,during which time we can entertain them with songs or dances.

           I'm looking forward to your reply.

                                                            Yours,

                                                            Li Hua

Dear Sir / Madam,

              I live next to your school in Grasmere Road and I am writing regarding the very bad behaviour of some of your younger students. In addition to this,I should like to bring to your attention to the irresponsibility of certain members of your staff when supervising (监督) students,evening activities.

              Firstly,concerning the students' behaviour,I should like you to make it very clear to those students walking along Grasmere Road towards the station that my front garden is not a place where people are allowed to leave their rubbish. When they leave school in the afternoons,they pass my house and throw empty cans,waste paper and even cigarette packets(although most of them are below the age for smoking) on my grass.

               Could you also please ask your students not to .... shout and use bad language in the street,as this is harmful to the reputation of both your school and the area?

               Regarding certain members of your staff,you are perhaps unaware of the fact that their evening activities sometimes continue well beyond ten and the noise is too loud. Last Thursday night the noise did not stop until 10:30 pm. Surely the members of i staff supervising these activities could bring the events to a close at a suitable moment.

               I know that I am speaking for many families in the area when I ask you to speak to your students and staff about these matters.

               Should they continue to be so inconsiderate,I shall be forced to take matters further and shall have no choice but to write to the council(地方议会) .

                                                 Yours  faithfully,

                                                 Mrs J Barker

33. The text is a letter of.

   C. invitation   D. thanks

34. Which of the following is destroying the area's reputation in Mrs J Barker's eyes?

   A. Throwing rubbish.

   B. Smoking cigarettes.

   C. Making too much noise.

   D. Shouting and using bad language.

35. What is Mrs J Barker going to do if these matters are not solved?

              Crime-fighdng technology is getting more sophisticated(高级的) and rightly so. The police need to be equipped for the 21st century. In Britain we ve already got the world's biggest DNA database. By next year,the state will have access to the genetic(基因的) data of 4. 25 million people: one British-based person in 14.Hundreds of thousands of those on the database will never have been charged with a crime.

              Britain is also reported to have more than four million CCTV (closed circuit television) cameras.

There's a continuing debate about the effectiveness of CCTV. Some evidence suggests that it's helpfiil in reducing shoplifting and car crime.It has also been used to successfully identify(识别)terrorists and murderers. However,many claim that better lighting is just as effective when it comes to preventing crime, and that cameras could displace (转移) crime. A police report said that only one crime was solved for every l,000 cameras in London in 2007. In short,there's conflicting evidence about the effectiveness of cameras,so it's   likely that the debate will continue.

              Professor Mike Press,who has spent the past decade studying how design can contribute to crime reduction,said that,in order for CCTV to have any effect,it must be used in a targeted way.

Most cameras that simply record city centres continually — often not being watched 一 do not produce results. CCTV can also have the opposite effect of that intended,by giving citizens a false sense of safety and encouraging them to be careless with property(财产) and personal safety.

              Professor Press said:“All the evidence suggests that CCTV alone makes no positive influence on crime reduction and prevention at all. The weight of evidence would suggest' the investment is more or less a waste of money unless you have lots of other things in place.”He believes that much of the increase is driven by the marketing efforts of safety companies who promote the crime-reducing benefits of their products. He described it as a “lazy approach to crime prevention" and said that authorities should instead be focusing on how to change the environment to reduce crime.

28. Why did Britain set up a DNA database?

   A. To beat crime.

   B. To lead the world.

   C. To access other countries’ database.

   D. To improve their medical technology.

29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

   A. CCTV has many negative effects.

   B. CGTV is ineffective in reducing crime.

   C. People's views on the effectiveness of CCTV vary.

   D. Better lighting leads to a greater crime reduction than CCTV.

30. What is Professor Mike Press's attitude toward CCTV?

   A. Unconcerned. B. Unsatisfied.

   C. Positive.    D. Cautious.

31. According to Professor Press,a good way to prevent crime is .

   A. to change the environment

   B. to use more cameras in the future

   C. to promote the marketing of safety products

   D. to remind citizens to be careful with their property

            You will probably never find his name in a history book,but to this day,Walker Lee continues to contribute to American heritage (遗产) .Walter Lee is an old-fashioned,modern-day blacksmith(who makes and repairs things made of iron) , still practicing the fine art of shaping metal over a hot fire.

            Walker Lee began his career in hand-forged (手工锻造的) ironwork at the age of 30.The idea of creating an object out of iron,an extremely hard material,appealed to him. He started on this new business by collecting and reading every book he could find that described the process of black-smithing,including its history,its practical and decorative uses,and the equipment.

            During the course of his research,Lee discovered a tool necessary for the success of any blacksmith: the anvil,a heavy block of iron or steel on which a blacksmith shapes the hot metal with a hammer(锤子) .

            Lee bought his first anvil from 84-year-old Hurley Alford Templeton of Philadelphia. It weighed 100 pounds. The anvil cost him $100,and four months later,he paid $75 for another anvil from Cornell University in New York.

            When building his blacksmith shop,in the interest of economy,he constructed it out of inexpensive wood. It was a simple little building that stood for only nine years. Lee replaced his first shop with a finer one made of more expensive wood.

            The very first object Lee forged in his shop was a long,pointed Hudson Bay knife. As he recalls that event he says, “From the minute I first saw the thing take shape,I was attracted ...still am. There's something magic in it. You heat it up and pound it with a hammer and it goes where you want it to go."

             Years later,at a family event,Lee,discovered that his Italian ancestors were expert coppersmiths (铜匠) .During the gathering,Lee's great uncle Johnny said that Lee’s love for blacksmithing was “in the blood,” and he happily presented Lee with a new 125-pound anvil.

2. Lee learned blacksmithing.

   A. by teaching himself

   B. from his great uncle

   C. from an 84-year-old man

   D. by studying at a university

3. How do blacksmiths use the anvil?

   A. They put it on a hammer and hit hot iron.

   B. They place iron on it and shape the iron.

   C. They use it to produce a hot fire.

   D. They use it to make hammers.

4. The underlined words “that event” refer to.

   A. the family event
