         Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that's long been considered a necessary part to reading
    and writing paper.No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper.Nor are there any pencils or pens, which
    always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A"paperless classroom"is what more and more
    schools are trying to achieve.
         Students don't do any handwriting in this class.Instead, they use palm size, or speciallydesigned
    computers.The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's
    personal computer.
          Having computers also means that students can use the Web.They can look up information on any
    subject they're studying from maths to social science.
         High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn
    about the war in Afganistan(阿富汗) over one year ago.
          "We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee camps
    (难民营), "she said."Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible."
          And exams can go online too.At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own
    computers.The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to
    his own electronic grade book.
          A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher
    Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky US said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each
    student.
          "Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers, "she said. But, with all this
    technology, there's always the risk that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or
    technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hitech students.

    1. What does the part of the last but one sentence in the first paragraph, "run out of ink at the critical
         moment" mean?
    A. Pens may not write welt at the critical moment.
    B. Pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment.
    C. Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.
    D. Pens use ink, while pencils don't.

    2. In a paperless classroom, what is a must?
    A. Pens.                            
    B. Computers.
    C. Information.                                
    D. Texts.

    3. The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that________.
    A. the Web could take them everywhere
    B. the Web taught them a lot
    C. the Web is a good tool for information
    D. the Web, better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive(全面的) information

    4. The paperless classrooms will benefit ________ the most.
    A. students                                  
    B. teachers  
    C. trees                                      
    D. computers

    5. What does the phrase in the last paragraph, "break down", mean?
    A. Break into pieces.                          
    B. Stop working.
    C. Fall down.                                
    D. Lose control.

         The World Health Organization says obesity rates are rising in Pacific island countries. So, too, are
    health problems linked to being overweight.
         The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods. It says
    many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported
    processed foods.
         Dr. Temu Waqanivalu is with the World Health Organization's South Pacific office in Suva, Fiji. He
    says many of the imported products lack nutritional value.
         Temu Waqanivalu said: "In some of the places, you'd be amazed to see how a bottle of Coke is
    cheaper than a bottle of water. I think that represents the kind of offenvironment we've created that
    doesn't really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choice for the population."
         And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders only adds to the obesity problem.
         The WHO says more than 50 percent of the population is overweight in at least ten Pacific island
    countries. The rate is as high as 80 percent among women in the territory of American Samoa. Fiji had
    the lowest obesity rate at 30 percent.
         In all, almost ten million people live in Pacific island countries. The WHO estimates that about 40
    percent of them have health disorders related to diet and nutrition.
         Diabetes rates are among the highest in the world. Fortyseven percent of the people in American
    Samoa have diabetes. So do 44 percent of the people in Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand.
         By comparison, the diabetes rate is 13 percent in the United States, a country that has its own
    problems with rising obesity.
         Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemia and not enough vitamin A in the
    diets of Pacific islanders. Dr. Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet puts
    pressure on limited health resources and budgets.
    1. The main reason why obesity rates are rising in many Pacific islanders is ________.
    A. the change of society
    B. the change of eating habits
    C. the change of life style
    D. lack of exercise
    2. Imported products lack nutritional value but people love to buy them because ________.
    A. they are cheap
    B. they are popular
    C. they are tasty
    D. they are convenient to get
    3. How many people living in Pacific island countries have health disorders?
    A. 1 million.  
    B. 4 million.
    C. 6 million.  
    D. 10 million.
    4. The percentage of diabetes rates in American Samoa is ________.
    A. optimistic  
    B. steady
    C. worrying  
    D. low

         Boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy, but this one is el.ean and cool. Fox Point is a very new47-unit
    living building in South Bronx, one of the city's poorest areas. Two-thirds of the people living there are
    formerly (以前) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. The rest are low-income families.
    The boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat. It reuses heat that
    would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions (碳排放) while also cutting costs.
         Fox Point is operated by Palladia, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy,
    people. Palladia received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP), which helps build affordable
    housing by providing support to housing developers.
         ECP has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (环境方面) clever and affordable homes
    which are called, the Green Communities Standards. These standards include water keeping, energy saving
    and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. Meeting the standards increases housing
    construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. Even the positioning of a
    window to get most daylight can help save energy.
         Michael Bloomberg, New York's mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for 500,000
    New Yorkers. Almost 80% of New York City's greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings, and 40%
    of those are caused, by housing. So he recently announced that the city's Department of Housing and
    Preservation and Development (DHPD), whose duty is to develop and keep the city's supply of affordable
    housing, will require all its new projects to follow ECP's green standards.
         Similar measures have been taken by other cities such as Cleveland and Denver, but New York's DHPD
    is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.
    1. What is the purpose of describing the boiler room in the first paragraph?
    [     ]
    A. To explain the measures the city takes to care for poor people.
    B. To suggest that affordable housing is possible in all areas.
    C. To show how the environment-friendly building works.
    D. To compare old and new boiler rooms.
    2. What is an advantage of the buildings meeting the Green Communities Standards?
    [     ]
    A. Lower running costs.
    B. Costing less in construction.
    C. Less air to be lost in hot days.
    D. Better prices for homeless people.
    3. It can be learned from the text that, _____.
    [     ]
    A. New York City is seriously polluted
    B. people's daily life causes many carbon emissions in New York City
    C. a great number of people in New York City don't have houses to live in
    D. some other cities have developed more affordable housing than New York City
    4. What is the main purpose of this text?
    [     ]
    A. To call on people to pay more attention to housing problems.
    B. To prove that some standards are needed for affordable housing.
    C. To ask society to help homeless people and low-income families.
    D. To introduce healthy, environmentally clever-and affordable housing.

         China_is_going_green. In order to reduce air pollution and oilshortages, automobile manufacturers
    have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market.
    Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car.
         Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a
    rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional
    gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially
    designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.
         Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a
    traditional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide
    power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an
    electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.
         The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go
    electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas
    pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.
         The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the
    gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the
    electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries.
         As a consequence, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.

    1. The author writes this passage mainly to________.
    A. teach people how to drive a hybrid car
    B. introduce a new kind of "green" car
    C. show how to save their gasoline when driving a car
    D. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China

    2. The first sentence probably refers to ________.
    A. there will be more and more green land in China
    B. China is still young and lacking experience
    C. China's new cars are combinations of different green models
    D. China has started producing environmentally friendly cars

    3. Which of the followings is NOT true?
    A. The hybrid cars reduce air pollution and oilshortages.
    B. The car's gasoline engine doesn't work until it reaches about 24 km/h.
    C. This kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.
    D. A specially designed battery motor provides extra power when needed.

    4. What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?
    A. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.
    B. They are much quieter than traditional cars.
    C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.
    D. They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.

    5. What can we conclude from the story?
    A. The batteries can be recharged at any time you want.
    B. Using the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work.
    C. The batteries will last for 200, 000 miles without being recharged.
    D. The gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powers the car.

         A simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors.
         On one side stand those who see clothes dryers (干衣机) as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the
    environment. As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the "what-I-can do environmentalism (环境
    保护主义)."
         On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant
    to look at. They have persuaded Homeowners Associations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines,
    because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This had led to a Right-to-Dry
    Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people's right to use clotheslines.
         So far, only three states have laws to protect clothesline. Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should
    be move.
         Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious (有生态意识的) person who feeds his trees with bathwater
    and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But on July
    9, 2007, the HOA in Wake Forest, North Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighlzir had telephoned them
    about him clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warming and still dried their clothes on a line in the
    yard. "Many people e say they are environmentally friendly but they don't take matters in their own hands,"
    says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them.
         North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and
    housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worry that if
    buyers think their future neighbors can't even afford dryers, housing prices will fall.
         Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to
    change. As they say, "The clothesline is beautiful. Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged. We all have
    to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming."
    1. One of the reasons why supporters of clothes dryers are trying to ham clothesline drying is that _____.
    A. clothes dryers are more efficient
    B. clothesline drying reduces home value
    C. clothes dryers are energy-saving
    D. clothesline drying is not allowed in most U.S. states
    2. Which of the following best describes Matt Reck?
    A. He is a kind-hearted man.
    B. He is an impolite man.
    C. He is and experienced gardener.
    D. He is a man of social responsibility.
    3. Which of the following best describes Matt Reck?
    A. He is a kind-hearted man.
    B. He is an impolite man.
    C. He is and experienced gardener.
    D. He is a man of social responsibility.
    4. What is mainly discussed in the text?
    A. Clothesline drying: a way to save energy and money.
    B. Clothesline drying: a lost art rediscovered.
    C. Opposite opinions on clothesline drying.
