    【题目】 Tired of seeing so much garbage along the bank of River Schie in Rotterdam Dutch artist Tommy Kleyn decided to step up and do something about it. He alone organized a cleanup of the entire bank without leaving any garbage, proving that anyone can indeed make a difference if they want to.

    Kleyn would cycle past a part of the Rotterdam riverway and see so much garbage along the bank. The situation troubled him, so he decided to spend 30 minutes every day cleaning the place up, filling one garbage bag a time. And when he posted pictures of his work on Facebook, a few of his friends volunteered to join as well. In five weeks, they had a 100 meter riverbank clean and completely rubbish-free.

    Kleyn's action has received great support online, and he has managed to turn it into a small movement. He has set up a Facebook page through which he challenges people to spend 30 minutes a year to fill a garbage bag with rubbish. “It feels great and you'll make a big difference," he wrote. “People are free to share their 'before' and 'after' pictures on the page. The challenge has attracted people in countries The people came from as far as China to respond with their own photos and stories!"

    “I want to show how easy it is to remove rubbish," he added. “Hopefully there will come a time when makers are thoughtful and their goods are no longer wrapped in layers of plastic."

    Local officials praised Kleyn's work on the riverbank and helped him raise money for future projects as well. “People can sign up to help me one day a year. For this, they received a coupon, like going to a local restaurant at the lowest price. You can imagine what I've man- aged to do in 22 days, and what 22 men could do in a day. he said.

    【题目】Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

    We Americans ingest an average of 25 pounds of rice a year-and a portion of that comes from drinking beer. Yes, rice is a sample in our diet. But is it a safe one? Consumer Reports recently found "troubling" levels of inorganic arsenic, a known human carcinogen (a substance which can cause cancer), in almost every rice-containing food it tested. 【1】 But rice takes up arsenic from soil and water more readily than other grains do.

    Health-conscious consumers rely on brown rice, which has even more arsenic. In the Consumer Reports test, a quarter cup of uncooked white rice had from roughly 1 to 7 micrograms of inorganic arsenic, while brown rice had from 4 to 10 micrograms. Why the difference? 【2】.

    What about rice cakes? They contained from 2 to 8 micrograms per serving, while hot and ready-to-eat rice cereals had 2 to 7 micrograms. These levels are at least five times higher than those found in other cereals, such as oatmeal.

    Studies show that people exposed to large amounts of arsenic for many years are more likely to die of cancer. In Bangladesh, people who drank tap water that contained 50 to 149 micrograms of arsenic per liter for 20 or 30 years, for example, were 44 percent more likely to die of cancer. 【3】 (The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency limits the total amount of arsenic in drinking water to 10 micrograms per liter.) But our total risk is unclear. There isn’t enough data to set a limit on inorganic arsenic in food, says the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.

    The Bottom Line: 【4】 Consumer Reports recommends that adults eat no more than 11 /2 to 2 cups of cooked (brown or white) rice a week. And here is a way to lessen risk: Rinse your rice, cook it in six parts water to one part rice until it reaches eating texture, and then pour off the extra water. This can remove about half the arsenic.

    A.You might wonder what one conscious portion of rice could do for your whole body.

    B.Americans are lucky to be exposed to lower levels of arsenic.

    C.This poisonous element is in a wide range of food-including fruits, vegetables and grains.

    D.Until more studies are done, curb your consumption of arsenic.

    E.Brown rice appears to be the most effective whole grain for the healthy growth of human beings, but its darker color can easily absorb too much arsenic.

    F.Brown rice tends to have more arsenic because the metal concentrates in the outer layers, which are burnished off in white rice.

    【题目】Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed (展现) herself as she did nowhere else.

    After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate(巨头)Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career（职业）in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some idea about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading.

The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography(自传), Moonwalk.

    Jacqueline may have been hired for name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth.

    D.Jacqueline’s role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor

    【题目】 I believe that my actions show my beliefs, not my words.

    I wrote a letter to my kids a few years ago. It’s three pages long, and it sums up my life experience of four decades. By the time they reach adulthood, they will have heard most of their father’s advice in that letter: live in the moment, do not attach yourself to physical things, treat others the way you would like to be treated, etc. I sealed the letter in a white envelope, and wrote instructions that nobody should open it unless something horrible happened to me.

    As a police officer, I have seen life disappear in an instant. I realize that could happen to me at any time. Yet knowing that letter is there in my locker makes me more comfortable with my own death.

    Every day, when I open my locker, I see the letter. It makes me aware that I should be careful at work, and show my children and the people I have connection with that I try to practice everything I have written. If that day comes and my children finally read the letter, I hope that because of my actions, they will take my written beliefs to heart and improve upon my example.

    But for me, it’s not enough to write down my beliefs. I try to be the best person I can be every day---even in very difficult circumstances. I am more successful some days than others, but sometimes I curse too much. Sometimes I am cynical, unwilling to believe that people have good and honest reasons for doing something. I also get stressed and upset, yelling at my kids sometimes, and sometimes I am not as loving or as sympathetic as I should be. In fact, I am far from perfect, but I hope my children will eventually realize that perfection is an illusion. What really matters is that, instead of just writing down our beliefs, we all take action to be the best humans we can be.

    【1】Which of the following can best describe the author?

    A.Hardworking and humorous.B.Courageous and sensitive.

    C.Selfless.D.Considerate.

    【2】Why did the author open the locker to see the letter every day?

    A.He wanted to confirm his beliefs.

    B.The letter served as a reminder.

    C.He kept adding something new to it.

    D.His kids asked him to check it.

    【3】What can we learn about the letter written by the author?

    A.The author was in his forties when writing it.

    B.The kids were too young to understand the tips in it.

    C.The author was sure of its positive effects on his kids.

    D.The author hoped it wouldn’t be opened until bad things occurred.

    【4】Which can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?

    A.Doubtful about others’ motivations.

    B.Curious about everything around.

    C.Particular about himself.

    D.Unsatisfied about his profession.

    【5】What is the author’s understanding of life?

    A.That fathers should take care of their children.

    B.To become a perfect man.

    C.To be better today than yesterday.

    D.That bad guys deserve to be punished.

    Texting while walking is something that most of us are guilty of. We can't help replying【1】the message we have just received.

Our reaction time is also likely to be much slower. If we are about to run into someone or something else, we may not have time to act【8】it's too late.
