    People living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in this country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do while there can either benefit or harm the environment.
    While on holiday
    Many of the things you can do to be greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:
    ●Making the most of locally produced food and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you are visiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport;
    ●Switching off any air conditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect;
    ●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats.
    Endangered species
    Some gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if in doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid and illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.
    Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting
    There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment;
    ●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats;
    ●When you are away, or if you are looking for somewhere to visit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.
    60．According to the passage, we can ________ to help reduce climate change effect.
    A．save electricity                                    B．buy local food and drink
    C.  make good use of water                       D．go around on foot

    A．sometimes they are of poor quality
    B．they may not be typical local products
    C.  some of them will do harm to our health
    D．they may be made from endangered animals or plants
    62．We can infer from the passage that ________.
    A．it is not easy for people to travel abroad
    B．not everyone can tell an illegal souvenir
    C.  green holidays have been accepted by people
    D．volunteer work is a must for protecting natural habitats
    63．The passage is mainly about ________.

    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21----40各题所给的4 个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    A farewell party was going on. Sylvia Calver hated being the center of any pubic show where she didn’t know anyone. It made her  36  hot and she always felt she wanted to go away somewhere. But on an occasion like this when she knew  37 , there was no  38 to feel shy.  39she had made up her mind to  40  people’s attention for once in her life. Unlike others, Sylvia didn’t have any sad feelings herself at leaving Palmeira Court Hotel or saying goodbye to its 41  — she had left so many other  42 , and known too many people in her life to get upset by such things now.
    Yet this  43 was a particular occasion, and she hadn’t had so many of those in her  44. She had put on her  45  black dress and her long earrings. She had wanted to enjoy being the center of  46 for one evening, but now they had  47  old Miss Hutton of all people to give the  48 speech, whom she disliked. Even so, she thought there was no sense in getting  49  about it, for it was the first rule her  50 had given her — avoid all anxiety, take things easy. So, surprising herself by enjoying her own well-rounded white arm as  51 showed through the sleeve of her  52  dress, she took a taste of her drink and then sat back comfortably with her cigarette. And her doctor’s orders worked! For 53  out slowly, she put Miss Hutton off the end of her  54  with a cloud of tobacco smoke, so that she smiled to herself at the old girl’s funny expression. She  55 herself quite well that night, even to her own surprise.

    Uncertainty spreads through our lives so thoroughly that it dominates our language，Our everyday speech is made up in large part of words like probably, many, soon,great,little.What do these words mean? 
    Such verbal imprecision is not necessarily to be criticized. Indeed, it has a value Just because it allows uw to express judgments when a precise quantitative statement is out of the question.
    We have been trying to pin down by experiments what people meari by these expressions in specific contexts, and how the meanings change with age. For instance,a subject is told "There are many trees in the park" and is asked to say what number the word may mean to him. Or a child is invited to take "some" sweets from a bowl and we then count how many he has taken. We compare the number he takes when he is alone with the number when one or more other children are present and are to take some sweets after him, or with the number he takes when told to give
    “some" sweets to another child.
    First, we find that the number depends, of course, on the items involved. To most people some friends means about five, while some trees means about twenty. However, unrelated areas sometimes show parallel values. For instance, the language of probability seems to mean about the same thing in predictions about the weather and about politics: the expression is certain to( rain,or be elected)signifies to the average person about a 70 percent chance; is likely to, about a 60 percent chance; probably will, about 55 percent.
    Secondly, the size of the population of items influences the value assigned to an expression.Thus, if we tell a subject to take "a few" or“a lot of" glass balls from a box, he will take me if the box contains a large number of glass balls than if it has a small number, But not proportionately more: if we increase the number of glass balls eight times, the subject takes only half as large a percentage of the total.
    Thirdly, there is a marked change with age. Among children between six and fourteen years old, the older the child, the fewer glass balls, he will take. But the difference between a lot and a few widens with age. This age effect is so consistent that it might be used as a test of intelligence.
    51. What's the right attitude towards the words like probably, any and soon ?
    A. They are inaccurate and we should avoid them.
    B. They are necessary since we cannot be always precise.
    C. They should be criticized because there are too many of them.
    D. Their value is not yet clear since we don't know their meaning.
    52. Why do we do experiments with the words many and some?
    A. To prove that people are insensitive to these words.
    B. To prove that the words dominate our everyday speech.
    C. To find out how the meanings vary with age and contexts.
    D. To find out whether the words can mean a precise quantity.
    53. Which of the following expressions means a larger chance in weather broadcast?
    A. Possible.   B. Probable.   C. Be likely to.  D. Be certain to.
    54. Which of the following is similar to the underlined word signifies in its meaning?
    A. makes    B. means     C. predicts    D. indicates
    55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
    A. Uncertainty in the Language Use.
    B. How to Use Language in an Uncertain Way
    C.Uncertain Words and their Use in Specific Contexts
    D. Experiments on Relationship between Uncertainty and Language Use

    Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.
    　　One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train its obedience. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
    Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack（群）by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate（从属的）role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to
    pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
    　　Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.
    51. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.
    A. be just part of their nature
    　 B. worsen in modern society
    　 C. occur when they go wild
    　 D. present a threat to the community
    52. The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.
    　 A. teach the dog to perform clever tricks
    　 B. make the dog aware of its owner’s authority
    　 C. provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior
    　 D. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior
    53. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______.
    　 A. essential to solving the dog’s behavior problems
    　 B. the foundation for dogs to perform tasks
    　 C. a good way to teach the dog new tricks
    　 D. an extreme measure in obedience training
    54. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
    　 A. To avoid being punished.
    　 B. To show their affection for their masters.
    　 C. To win leadership of the dog pack.
    　 D. To show their willingness to obey.
    55. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.
    　 A. can give the dog more rewards
    　 B. will enjoy a better family life
    　 C. can give the dog more freedom
    　 D. will have more confidence in himself

During the test , these people were given all kinds of breakfasts , and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts.

    E  
    Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
    The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
    In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
    The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
    Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
    Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
    Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.
    Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.
    77.For children who receive allowances, they’d better not ________.　　
    A. waste money to buy gifts for their parents or friends　　
    B. buy their favorite clothing or electronics for themselves　　
    C. save money like their parents or other adults　　
    D. ask for the next allowance before the decided date.
    78．Many parents give children an allowance regularly to ______.　　
    A. meet children’s basic need for life       
    B. give control over their children　　
    C. see whether they have financial mistakes  
    D. help children learn how to manage money
    79.If children are required to save their allowance, they ______.　　
    A. can experience three things related to money　　
    B. can understand the relation between goals and sacrifice　　
    C. will do more work around the house　　
    D. help themselves found the basis for their future life
    80. What is the best title for the passage?
    A. Be Generous to Pay Your Children
    B. Be Wise to Avoid Financial Mistakes
    C. Saving Allowances Does Good to Children
    D. Allowances Help Children Learn about Money
