14.Climate change will bring greater extremes in weather,the Government's chief scientific adviser has warned as he called for action to deal with global warming.Professor Sir John Beddington says the effects of climate change on the weather are already being felt in the UK.
"In a sense we have moved from the idea of global warming to the idea of climate change,and that is rather important.Temperatures are increasing and there are more changes in our weather,"he said.
Even if effective action is taken now on global warming,he says there will be great climate change over the next 20 to 25 years as a result of past global problems.
"We have serious problems in the world---in 12 years there will be another billion people on the planet and we have big issues of food security,water security and energy security,and many people will start to be living in cities,"he said."These are serious problem; climate change is just going to make it worse."
He said there were some"uncertainties"in the analysis of climate and climate change."But those uncertainties are completely unimportant in comparison(比較)with a great deal of evidence that shows it is happening in the sort of ways climate models would expect,"he said."For example,the Arctic is heating up faster than other parts of the world---this is exactly what the climate scientists are predicting."
Sir John's views were made as Britain e xperienced freezing cold weather and snow,with thousands of homes across the UK without power.England and Wales experienced 10 separate flooding events between April and December last year after widespread drought gave way to the wettest summer in a century,with unusually high rainfall totals and river levels around the country.
61.Which of the following is NOT one of the things that Sir John says?D
A.We need more action to deal with global warming.
B.Climate change will make some big problems worse.
C.Climate change will bring greater extremes in weather.
D.England will experience more extremes in weather than Wales.
62.How long will it be before our planet has another billion people?C
A.25 years.B.20 years.C.12 years.D.10 years.
63.What is Sir John's attitude towards the Climate scientists'prediction?B
A.Puzzled.B.Trusting.C.Uncertain.D.Doubtful.
64.In recent years,which of the following has the UK NOT experienced?D
A.Widespread drought.
B.Many flooding events.
C.Freezing cold weather.
D.Several big earthquakes.
65.What is the main purpose of this report?A
A.To call for effective action on climate change.
B.To introduce Professor Sir John and his opinions.
C.To prove that the UK has experienced a series of disasters.
D.To show how correct the climate scientists'predictions are.

18.Everyone needs friends.There is an old saying,"Friends are God's way of taking care of us."But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends.Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree.You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow.
First,you should choose a friend.What makes a good friend?It is not because a person has money or good looks.A good friend should be kind and patient.For example,if you have a bad day,a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help.To make a friend,you cannot be too shy.You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things cannot always be happy.Even the best friends have fights.What should you do when you have a fight with your friend?You have to talk to him or her.When there is no one around,have an honest talk.If he or she doesn't want to talk,you could write a letter.
There are three steps to being friends again:
Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend has done wrong,and explain why you did this or that.Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

36.Sally wants to tell students the ways toA.
A.find friends         
B.plant trees       
C.get happy

B.be kind and patient
C.have lots of money                     
D.have good looks

A.buy a present for                      
B.never say a word to
C.have dinner with                      
D.write a letter to

8.About ten years ago,a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street.He was going a bit too fast in his shiny,black,12cylinder Jaguar XKE,which was only two months old.
He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.As his car passed,no child came out,but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jag's shiny black side door!Immediately Josh stopped the car,jumped out,seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car.He shouted at the kid,"What was that all about and who are you?That's my new Jag,that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money.Why did you throw it?"
"Please,mister,please…I'm sorry!I didn't know what else to do!"begged the youngster."I threw the brick because no one else would stop!"Tears were streaming down the boy's face as he pointed around the parked car."It's my brother,mister,"he said."He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."Sobbing,the boy asked the businessman,"Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words,the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat.Straining,he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts,checking to see that everything was going to be OK.He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk back to the black,shining 12cylinder Jaguar XKE-a long and slow walk.Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar.He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention.Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

15.Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺騙)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.
For example,some might say,"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"
This guy's a winner,right?Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought  $200worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He's really a big loser!
He didn't say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half-truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her opponents (對手) says,"During Govemor Smith's term,the state lost one million jobs!"That's true.However,an honest statement would  have been,"During Govemor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs."
Advertisers(廣告商) will sometimes use half-truths.It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,"Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache."It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often.Lt's a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
32.How much did the lottery winner lose?A
A.One hundred dollars.
B.Two hundred dollars.
C.Three hundred dollars.
D.Four hundred dollars.
33.We may infer that the author believes people shouldC.
A.buy lottery tickets
B.make use of half-truths
C.not take anything at face value
D.not trust the Yucky Company
34.What do the underlined words"net gain"in Paragraph 5mean?A
A.final increase.
B.big advantage.
C.large share.
D.total saving.
35.What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?B
A.False statements are easy to see through.
B.Half-truths are often used to mislead people.
C.Doctors like to act in advertisement.
D.Advertisements are based on facts.

12.When Zhang Ning,whose pen name was Misha,started drawing manga(漫畫) in junior high school,it was a time when Japanese cartoonists occupied most of the Chinese market.She was warned about the poor wage cartoonists earn and the risk of pursuing a career in an industry where China is not yet competitive.
But with the growth of domestic animation and manga industry in recent years,Zhang managed to draw her way up to become one of the country's top cartoonists.In 2011,the 29-year-old won the Golden Dragon award,one of the most influential awards in China's manga industry.
Looking back,the graduate of Zhejiang University of Technology said:"It was a dream come true."Zhang's success boomed along with the industry.In 2010,according to the National Bureau of Statistics,China's animation and manga industry was worth 47billion yuan.It has seen annual growth rates of more than 20percent in recent years.
These big numbers seem a far stretch from Zhang's in Hangzhou,Zhejiang province.But she thinks the very reason why cartoonists can enjoy a decent life is the country's decision to well develop the industry."The country is not giving us money directly,but it's creating a market in which we can succeed,"said Zhang.
Apart from government investment,Zhang is also benefiting from technology advances.The Internet has provided a wider platform for cartoonists to publish their work.The electric edition of Zhang's work ranked the 6th among free book apps on the Apple Store."I think the Internet has encouraged new cartoonists and given them more chances.Before we could only contribute to magazines and it was difficult to convince the editors to publish our work",said Zhang."But when you release your work online,you receive encouragement and support from many netizens.It increases your confidence."said Zhang.
New technology has also attracted more people to read comics."China has entered 3G era.It's very convenient for people to read on their smart phones when traveling around.It opens comics to a bigger readership,"said Zhang.Only last week,Zhang published her new manga based on the ancient classic Tangzi(湯子) which set during the warring states period.According to Zhang,the inspiration came from wall painting in Dunhuang,Gansu province.She hopes her works will encouraged more people especially the young,to explore the cultural treasures of ancient China."Chinese youths now need a spirit to help them to realize their dreams,"said Zhang."Like Kua Fu(夸父) chasing the sun---people can accomplish great things by choosing to something seemingly beyond their ability.I think that's my"Chinese dream"and I want to share it with the public through my cartoons."
57.When Zhang Ning started drawing manga,C.
A.she nearly finished her study in junior high school.

13.Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong.People watched him,and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach.Popeye helped sell 33percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets.Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong,but this is not true.Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake.In the 1890s,a group of people studied what was inside vegetables.This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did.The group wrote the number wrong,and everyone accepted it.
Today,we know that the little iron in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is.However,spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong.Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.
59.A good title for this reading passage isB.
A.Popeye the Sailor
B.The Truth About Spinach
C.A Mistake with Numbers
D.Folic Acid Makes You Strong
60.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A

C.Spinach had a lot of iron.
D.People liked folic acid.
