【题目】 In 1992, a group of architects(建筑师)and engineers in Seattle had collected hundreds of canned goods for charity. “We wanted to give back to the community,” said Deborah Ashcraft, organizer for the Construction project. Volunteers also wanted to have some “creative fun,” so they used the cans to create a huge map of the State of Washington.
Today Construction has thousands of volunteers across the United States and Canada, for the purpose of creating a world without hunger. Construction members build their delicious artwork in shopping areas and museums.
In some cities, such as Tampa Bay, Florida, Construction artists are made up of school kids, “Our class built a Wurlitzer organ(风琴)out of cans,” said Jasmine Heaggans, a student at Lanier Elementary. “We based ours on the 77-year-old organ at the Tampa Theater.”
Beginning in September, architects Danni Anstett and Danielle Williams visited class weekly. After a field trip to see the real Wurlitzer, the architects showed the class how to draw pictures of the organ from all sides. They instructed students to do a plan view. And they helped the young artists count up how many cans would be used.
On October 24, Construction workers from Lanier and three other Tampa Bay schools gathered at the local shopping area to build and display their artworks. The students got to stack (堆)cans. With 1,800 cans, Lanier students had nine hours to get the Wurlitzer ready for the judges.
“The cans had to be perfectly stacked,” student Courtney Keenam recalled, “or everything would fall.”
After four hours, the students were feeling pretty good. The organ was taking shape. Then the kids had an “uh-oh” moment. The cans were facing the wrong way. They had to be turned around.
At last, the Wurlitzer stood shiny and tall, just in time for the judges to name it “most creative.”
【1】What is the aim of the Construction project?
A.To sell canned food.B.To end world hunger.
C.To bring people much fun.D.To build better communities.
【2】How did Anstett and Williams help the young volunteers?
A.By helping design the artwork.B.By building an organ with cans.
C.By drawing pictures of an organ.D.By offering them a real Wurlitzer organ.
【3】Why did the students come together on October 24?
A.To collect cans used by the shopping area.B.To do volunteer work for the shopping area.
C.To enter a can building competition.D.To get more people to join Construction.
【4】What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.The real Wurlitzer organ.B.The 77-year-old organ at the Tampa Theater.
C.The huge map of the State of Washington.D.The Wurlitzer organ built out of cans.

【题目】 Suppose you're in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.
In seconds after you've clicked "send", you realize it in horrors and burn with shame.
Here are four common email accidents, and how to make it right.
Clicking "send" too soon
Don't waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as quickly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version(版本)
Writing the wrong name
The sooner you notice, the better. Act quickly and briefly, saying sorry for your mistake. Don't take it too lightly, as you may offend(冒犯)people, especially if your mistake suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i. e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).
Clicking "reply all" by accident
You accidentally let the whole company know what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you'd like to take. In this instance, the best way is to send a quick, light—hearted apology(道歉). But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting "reply all" to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this case, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.
Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger(愤怒). You write an unkind message about someone, planning to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you're discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations(沮丧)calmly and smartly—see it as a chance to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.
【1】If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.
A.say sorry in a serious mannerB.tell the receiver to forget it
C.learn to write the name correctlyD.send a short notice to everyone
【2】What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your "reply all" email?
A.Try offering other choices.B.Avoid further discussion.
C.Meet other staff members.D.Make a light—hearted apology.
【3】How should you solve the problem caused by an offensive email?
A.By promising not to offend the receiver again.
B.By turning to the receiver's friends for support.
C.By asking the receiver to control his anger.
D.By talking to the receiver face to face.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Describing email mistakes.B.Reducing email mistakes.
C.Dealing with email accidents.D.Improving email writing.

【题目】 We all know that we need water to live. Up to 75% of our bodies is water and we need to drink water every day to be healthy! So what will happen to the Earth’s water if global warming (全球变暖)gets worse?
About 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. When the temperature of the Earth rises, the temperature of the water rises, too. Higher water temperatures will kill the underwater plants and tiny fish. But it’s not just the fish! Higher temperatures also have an influence on animals on land. Some scientists think that because of global warming, two thirds of the world’s polar bears will never be seen on our planet by 2050.
Global warming makes the weather change, too. In some places, there will be less rain. This will cause deserts to be larger. In other places, the rain will become very strong and heavy, so we will have less farmland and not enough food for humans.
Global warming is a big problem. But we can help by making small changes like turning off the water, lights, and TV when we aren’t using them!
【1】How much of the Earth’s surface is covered with water?(不超过5个词)
________________________________________________________________________
【2】What will happen to the underwater plants and tiny fish when water temperatures get higher?(不超过10个词)
________________________________________________________________________
【3】What small changes can we make to help solve the problem of global warming?(不超过15个词)
________________________________________________________________________
