Mom was a teacher most of her life. When she wasn’t in the classroom, she was educating her children or grandchildren: correcting our grammar; starting us on collections of butterflies, flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most recent “Book of the Month Club” topic. Mom made learning fun.

It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her suffering in later years. At eighty-five, she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that.

Two days before she died, my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair. While we waited for the staff to lift her back into bed, Mom fell asleep. Not wanting to wake her, we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.

After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a sound coming from across the room. We stopped talking and looked at Mom. Her eyes were closed, but she was clearly trying to communicate with us. We went to her side.

“Whirr,” she said weakly.

“Where?” I asked. “Mom, is there something you want?” “Whirr,” she repeated a bit stronger. My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.

Mom opened her eyes, sighed, and with all the energy she could maser said, “Not was, say were!”

It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim’s last sentence. “If it was up to me…”

Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek. “Thanks, Mom,” he whispered. We smiled at each other ----remarkable teacher.

36. When Mom said, “Whirr”, what did she really want to do?

A. She wanted to tell her sons her will.

B. She wanted to have something to eat before she died.

C. She wanted to correct the mistakes Jim made while talking.

D. She wanted to teach her sons more because she was dying.

37. Which of the following statements is NOT right?

A. Mom was a good teacher and never wanted to stop her teaching.

B. Mom was always making her teaching fun.

C. Mom didn’t forget her teaching until she died.

D. Mom was no longer a teacher when she was at home.

38. What does the writer think of his mother?

A. He loved her but was tired of his mother’s teaching at home.

B. His mother should forget her teaching and enjoyed the rest of her life.

C. His mother was great because she devoted herself to teaching.

D. His mother was an excellent teacher before she was retired.

39. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. Once a teacher, always…                      B. Mom’s will

C. A teacher’s life                                     D. A teacher’s devotion

（山西省金谷中學(xué)2010屆高三第一次練兵考試）

Every time you go to the supermarket, you come away with your purchases in plastic bags. But wouldn’t it be kinder to the environment if you asked for paper bags instead?

The answer is not the easy as it might seem. Environmentalists say there are drawbacks to using both plastic bags and paper bags.

According to the American Plastics Council 80 percent of groceries in the US are packed in plastic bags.

 “The numbers are becoming huge,” said Vincent Cobb, a businessman from Chicago who set up “reusable bags. com” on the Internet. He notes that consumers use between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags per year worldwide.

Some experts believe that all these bags harm the environment. Plastic takes hundreds of years to break down and, as it does so, poisonous materials are released into the water and soil.

Further damage is caused if plastic bags enter the sea. For example, endangered sea turtles cannot tell the bags from jellyfish(水母), their main source of food, and often choke on（噎死 ）them.

Floating plastic bags have been spotted as far north as the Arctic Ocean and as far south as the southern end of South America. One expert predicts that, within ten years, plastic bags will wash up in Antarctica!

However, this kind of bag does have its advantages.

 “Plastic grocery bags are some of the most reused things around the house,” explained Laurie Kusek of the American Plastics Council.

According to the Film and Bag Federation, a trade group in the US plastics industry, paper bags use more energy and create more waste than plastic bags. Plastic bags require 40 per cent less energy to produce and cause 70 per cent less air pollution, the group explained. They also release as much as 94 percent less waste into the water than paper ones.

But paper bags do break down more quickly than plastic bags. They don’t endanger wildlife, either.

So what should we do? One possible solution would be to use biodegradable(可降解的)plastic bags. But until biodegradable technology improves, it might be easier to pack things you buy in reusable cloth bags.

44. The best title of the passage is _____.

A. Paper Causes Less Pollution          B. Plastic Causes Less Pollution

C. Paper and Plastics Cause Pollution      D. Paper Bags Break Down More Quickly

45. The underlined word “drawbacks” might mean “_____”.

A. Advantages       B. disadvantages    C. air pollution       D. waste

46. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Plastic takes longer to break down than paper.

B. Sea turtles usually mistake the plastic bags for jellyfish.

C. Paper bags require less energy than plastic bags.

D. You’d better pack things in reusable cloth bags.

47. Which of the following shows that paper bags are better than plastic ones?

A. Paper bags take less time to rot. B. Paper bags cause less air pollution.

C. Paper bags are more reusable. D. Paper bags cause less water pollution.
