    　　What do a 15-year-old high school sophomore named Tanja Vogt and Thomas Paine have in common?The answer is that both inspired major changes in their societies by writing an essay．

    　　In October 1988, Vogt － a student at West Millford High School in New Jersey － read an article in her local newspaper that disturbed her．The article reported that the Board of Education had decided to use polystyrene(聚苯乙烯) trays in the lunchroom because they were less expensive than paper．

    　　Vogt knew from her science class that polystyrene can have harmful effects on the environment．In the first place, it is not biodegradable, meaning that it can’t be broken down by natural biological processes．In addition, some polystyrene products release gases called chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) into the air．Scientific evidence indicates that these CFCs break down the protective ozone layer (臭氧层)of the atmosphere．

    　　Vogt decided to write a paper for her social studies class on the issue of polystyrene．Her teacher, Carl Stehle, read her paper to the class．After reminding students that Thomas Paine had had to persuade many hesitant colonists to support the American Revolution, Stehle challenged his class to do something about the polystyrene problem．

    　　Vogt and her classmates immediately conducted a survey in the high school and middle school．They discovered that a large majority of students said they wanted to switch back to paper goods in the cafeteria．When they presented their findings to the Board of Education, the board’s business administrator did a survey of his own．He found that roughly 80 percent of the students in the two schools would be willing to pay an extra nickel to eat their lunch from paper trays．As a result, the board voted in December to change to paper trays in all the township’s schools as of February 1, 1989．

    Their round bodies, round flat noses and large ears often remind us of bears every time we see koalas. Probably that’s why these animals are often referred to as koala bears. Koalas are natives of Australia. However, they aren’t found all over the continent. The habitat of koala bears spans (横越) over eastern regions of Australia that include states like Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria and also in the state of South Australia.

       Koalas are found where are enough forests of eucalyptus(桉树) trees. The association of koalas and eucalyptus trees is due to the fact that these animals feed on the leaves of eucalyptus trees. But that’s not all. In addition, the trees also serve as the homes of the koalas.

       Koalas grow around 27 to 36 inches tall and weigh 5 to 9 kilograms on average. Male kaolas are larger than the females. Life expectancy can stretch up to 17 years.

       Like many other animals, the habitat of koala bears is fast decreasing due to deforestation and quick urbanization(都市化). However,efforts by some scientists and animal lovers have successfully introduced these creatures back in certain parts of Australia.

    NUNCHAKU (《双截棍》) is one of Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou's most popular songs. In the upcoming Hollywood movie The Green Hornet (《青蜂侠》), Jay Chou will use nunchaku to fight crimes. He will play the role of Kato, which his idol Bruce Lee (李小龙) played in the 1960s' TV series.

    In The Green Hornet, Kato is a martial arts master. He drives a special car called Black Beauty for his friend Britt Reid. They fight crimes with martial arts and weapons to make the society peaceful.

    Jay Chou entered the movie business as the lead actor in Initial D (《头文字D》) in 2005. He won Best Newcomer at the Golden Horse Awards. After that, Jay's performing talent has made him even more famous. In his self-directed movie A Secret That Can't Be Told (《不能说的秘密》), Jay starred as a talented high school student who plays the piano. This movie has won him more die-hard fans.

    第二节 回答问题（共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分）阅读下面短文，根据第58至第60小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。

    If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.

        When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

        If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault.

        Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

        So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering.

    58. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, what will happen ? (不超过5个单词)

    第三节回答问题（共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分）

    阅读下面短文，根据第58至第60小题的具体要求，简要回答问题，并将答案转写到答题卡上。

    In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. But how do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities(品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).

    Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

    At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

    Sometimes you will meet “fair weather friends”. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. So, I think another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on(信赖) a good friend. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

    There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. A good friend likes the same things I like. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

    When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!

    58. According to the author, what good characters should a good friend have? (回答词数不超过9

    Do you have a goal for life? What's it? Do you want to become a writer, singer or just become a rich person?

    A recent survey shows that in modern society, most people pick up practical goals, such as “earning money to buy a house and a car”, “to improve one's life quality”, “finding a good job”.

    Wang You worked in a small firm (商行) in Nanjing. The job was good and he didn't have to work for extra hours. However, he felt the work was not exciting at all and the life was boring. So he gave up his job and went to Beijing in February, 2007. When he arrived in Beijing, he set his new goal as finding a good job.

    Nowadays more and more people want to live a better life. This fact shows that the society is making progress and people's life goals have become more practical. One researcher says, “Everybody has his/her own life goal, which will be surely different from people to people. If one is poor, one's life goal will be to earn more money; if one doesn't have a diploma, studying hard to get a diploma will become his life goal; and if one doesn't have love, his life goal will be to look for it. But if one has no life goal, he will idle away (虚度) his lifetime. {007}”

    58. What will a poor man’s life goal be according to this passage? ( 回答词数不超过4个)
