You may have known several kinds of police, traffic police, and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving (節(jié)能) policemen?
A group of 22 of these new policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioning (空調(diào)) no cooler than 26 ℃.

"If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26 ℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That's one-third of all the usage of the city in the season," said a TV advertisement.
Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, are going to follow Beijing's steps in setting up a similar police team.
From 1986 to 2005, China met 20 warm winters. It means that Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving the environmental problems every year.
To introduce a green life to the public, Beijing also held a show on energy-saving technology and productions last week. It attracted lots of attention.
"We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find right ways to do it in our daily lives," said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.
【小題1】The job of the energy-saving policemen is ___________.

A．to set the air conditioning cooler
B．to check the use of energy in public places
C．to stop people using air conditioning
D．to make sure that more energy will be produced
【小題2】Beijing will use ___________ million kilowatt-hours electricity in one summer.
A．1200 B．800 C．400D．133
【小題3】Which of the following years' winters were all warm in China?
A．1984-1988.B．1999-2003. C．2002-2006. D．2005-2009.
【小題4】According to Liu Qianguang, ___________.
A．there are few ways to protect the environment
B．it's difficult to find good ways to save energy
C．it's easy for one to do something good for the environment
D．it's not easy for one to do something good for the environment


【小題1】B
【小題2】A
【小題3】B
【小題4】C

解析試題分析：這篇文章講述了新一類警察—節(jié)能警察。他們到城市的公共地方來(lái)檢查能源的使用情況，主要是空調(diào)的使用不低于26度，這可以大大節(jié)約電能的使用。我們國(guó)家每年要花很多的錢(qián)用在環(huán)保上，每個(gè)人在日常生活中也能做到環(huán)保。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places.他們到城市各個(gè)地方的酒店，辦公樓，購(gòu)物中心和其他公共地方的去看能源使用情況；故選B。
【小題2】判斷推理題。根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容Beijing will save 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in one summer. That's one-third of all the usage of the city in the season北京一個(gè)夏天可節(jié)約40億千瓦時(shí)的用電，這是這個(gè)城市一個(gè)季度的三分之一，故得知北京夏季的用電為120億千瓦時(shí)，故選A。
【小題3】判斷推理題。根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容From 1986 to 2005, China met 20 warm winters.從1986年到2005年，中國(guó)度過(guò)了20個(gè)暖冬；故此題選B。
【小題4】判斷推理題。根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容Each of us can find right ways to do it in our daily lives每個(gè)人在日常生活中都能找到正確的方式來(lái)保護(hù)環(huán)境；故選C，每個(gè)人都很容易為環(huán)境做點(diǎn)貢獻(xiàn)。
考點(diǎn)：社會(huì)現(xiàn)象類短文閱讀。

If you take away many sentences from somebody's written work as your own without permission, it's called plagiarism，but if you take the knowledge from a piece of work by another and change the words, then it's not plagiarism. This is the difference between using the Internet and plagiarism. If you are given homework to work out math problems, then you should use your brain without a computer! If the teacher asks you to learn something about a famous literary person, you can use the computer. If you take down the main important information of the task, it’s OK. However, if you run to the computer to do your thinking for you all the time, you don’t exercise your brain and you will forget how to work out a problem. By using a computer, students may get a useful answer fast, to finish homework, but when they have to face an exam, they will not be ready for it.
Though teachers say finding or buying homework answers online is not many in schools, an interview with school students shows only 10% hopes to finish their holiday homework by themselves. They complain that the homework is too much for them to finish. Besides, many of students have to go to all kinds of training classes during the holiday. These take away much of their time for doing homework. So they want to find or even buy answers online or copy each other's homework. Students should learn that being a student is about getting skills, but not just getting quick, cheap "answers" for homework problems. I mean we should use the computer properly.
【小題1】If you want to look up some information about something or somebody, you____.

A．should work it out by yourself

For years and years people have been saying that railways are dead. “We can do without railways,” people say—as if cars and planes have made railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.
Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can’t fly in because we don’t have enough money to buy the oil.
【小題1】Some people think railways are dying because______.

A．planes and cars are expensive
B．oil is expensive today
C．trains are slow
D．railways look ugly
【小題2】The writer thinks that railways are much alive because___________.
A．they are cheaper and more convenient
B．there aren’t any planes or cars
C．we can have a comfortable journey
D．we feel dangerous on highways
【小題3】According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?
A．It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane
B．The railway station is usually at the center of the city.
C．When you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center.
D．No car or plane can carry as many goods as a train.
【小題4】 What does the underline word competitive prefer to?
A．參與性的B．性價(jià)比高的
C．競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性的D．對(duì)比性的
【小題5】 The best title for this passage may be __________.
A．Which is the Best, Train, Car or Plane?
B．Railways, not the End, but the Beginning
C．Trains are More Competitive than Cars or Planes
D．Oh, Super-fast Trains

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends.     . Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (專家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
【小題1】Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One?

A．What can they do about this?
B．Where do the problems come from?
C．When did they have these problems?

“Mind your own business．” we’re told．“Don’t talk about others behind their backs．”The problem with this advice is that，not only is it unrealistic，it’s also counterproductive(起反作用的)．
Common sense holds that gossip(流言蜚語(yǔ))hurts people’s feelings and damages relationships．But recent research shows the opposite—that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip．
Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior．“If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properly，his gossip is letting you in on something，”says Dr．Ralph Rosnow of Temple University．“Gossip says：these are the boundaries and you are crossing them．You’re not abiding by the rules and you’d better get back in line．” Seen this way，gossip is a way to communicate criticism(批評(píng))without conflict(沖突)，giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face．
On the other hand，what about ill-willed gossip，the kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don’t and，in nearly every country in the world，gossip magazines have huge numbers of readers．According to researchers，however，this kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正確地)．“If we read bad news about well-known people，or get the frightful details of our neighbors’ bad situation over a cup of coffee，our own problems begin to pale in comparison(對(duì)比)，”says Dr．Jack Levin of Northeastern University．
However，that doesn’t mean that gossip is necessarily a good thing，either．Researchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they’re under a lot of stress．This might be because while they’re busy talking about other people，they’re also busy thinking what other people are saying about them．
【小題1】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To encourage us to spread gossip about others．
B．To prevent us from spreading gossip about others。
C．To make a comparison between good gossip and bad gossip．
D．To recognize certain positive functions of gossip．
【小題2】According to the passage，people in general think that__________．
A．it’s a bad habit to gossip
B．nobody pays attention to gossip
C．not all the gossip you hear is worth believing
D．it’s necessary to have a nice gossip with a friend or neighbor
【小題3】The underlined phrase “abiding by” in Paragraph 3 most probably means“________”．
A．makingB．breakingC．obeyingD．changing
【小題4】It could be learned from the passage that__________.
A．people under much stress enjoy gossiping about others.
B．in a way gossip helps us deal with our own problems.
C．in fact most people tend to believe gossip.
D．the more there is gossip, the stronger relationships become between people.

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two，perhaps a few letters for a while— then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand，because friendships between us develop more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings，extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes，share their holidays，and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives，they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans，however，express their welcome usually at homes，but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes，the welcome will be full，warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans，it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants，except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!
【小題1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?　　

A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.　　
C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.　　
D．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
【小題2】 From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend，we will probably be ______.
A．warmly welcomed at the airport
B．offered a ride to his home
C．treated hospitably at his home
D．treated to dinner in a restaurant
【小題3】The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.
A．strict with time　　　 B．willing to spend time　　
C．careful with time D．serious with time
【小題4】A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.
A．Friendships between Chinese
B．Friendships between Americans　　
C．Americans’hospitality
D．Americans’and Chinese’s views of friendships
