【题目】D
With America's national debt continuing to climb, Congress is constantly debating ways to save money. The Dollar Coin Alliance, a lobbying group, says billions could be saved if dollar coins were used instead of paper bills.
But many people won't use them. The U.S. government tried to push dollar coins again in recent years, but then suspended almost all production in 2011.
American likes paper dollars, but Jim Kolbe, co-chairman of the Dollar Coin Alliance, thinks switching to the coin is worth it.
“The coin does cost more to produce, roughly on the neighborhood of 17 cents versus the 5 or 6 cents that a paper dollar costs to produce," he said. "However, the coin lasts 35 years, and it’s made of mostly recycled metals, and the paper has to be produced from new materials, and we shred 3 billion of those every year because they wear out.”
For years, the former Arizona congressman has been pushing legislation that would prop up the dollar coin by phasing out the greenback — a move that has met resistance from both politicians and the public. But today, he said, the climate has changed, and a recent poll indicates 61 percent of Americans like the idea.
“When they learn of the savings that can be involved with this, they will support the idea of substituting the coin for the paper dollar,” he said.
Major savings
Kolbe points to a study by the Government Accountability Office, which investigates how the government spends taxpayer dollars. The GAO estimates taxpayers would save more than $4 billion over 30 years, and that figure could be much higher. That appeals to taxpayer Christy Thompson, who said, “I’d probably say, yes, we need to do it.”
But plenty of people aren't convinced, including Kim Doering of Alexandria, Virginia. “It’s easier to carry the paper bill than a bunch of coins. They’re louder; they’re heavier in your pocket,” she said.
Washington, D.C. restaurant owner Sue Fouladi doesn’t like the idea of having more dollar coins in her cash register.
"It’s very inconvenient," she said. "If I don’t have a choice, then I’ll do it, but I’ll be a very unhappy person.”
Adding to the problem is that the gold- and silver-colored metal coins are about the same size as the 25-cent quarter. Robert Blecker, an economics professor at American University in Washington, says the dollar coins should be a different size and thickness.
“And if we can design a dollar coin that’s not so big and bulky, probably Americans would like it better,” he added.
But that doesn’t bother college student Emily Sturgill.
“Sometimes they fit into your pocket easily and you don’t have to worry about them slipping out, like a dollar bill would if you brought your keys or your phone out,” she said.
【1】Which of the following is the advantage of dollar coins according to the passage?
A. They cost less than paper bills .
B. They are convenient to carry.
C.They are not easy to wear out.
D.They are produced from new materials.
【2】What does the underlined sentence” the climate has changed” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. America's national economy has changed.
B. Most of Americans support using dollar coins.
C.Only small percentage of Americans subscribe to using dollar coins.
D. The majority of Americans are for paper bills.
【3】Which of the following is in favor of using dollar coins?
A. Kim Doering B. Emily Sturgill.
C. Sue Fouladi D. Robert Blecke
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Dollar Coins or Paper Bills
B. Different Opinions about Coins
C. Ways to Solve America's National Debt
D.The Advantages of Dollar Coins.

【题目】Australia’s koalas could be wiped out within 30 years unless urgent action is taken to stop the losing in population, according to researchers They say development, climate change and bushfires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply. The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. Previous estimates (估计) put the number of koalas at more than 100,000, but the latest calculations (计算) suggest there could now be as few as 43,000.
The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of searching.
The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional (营养的) value of their staple food, eucalyptus leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them.
Koalas, which live in the forests in Australia’s east and south, are very fussy (爱挑剔的) about what types of the leaves they eat.
Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. It’s really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you don’t have any koalas.”
She is hoping the new figures will persuade the government’s Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koala’s status as one of the country’s favourite animals would not be a factor. “There’s a number of species which are attractive and people have special feelings towards them. We don’t consider that,” Mr Beeton was reported as saying by the AFP agency.
【1】The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _____.
A. the forests are being damaged heavily
B. the environment is being polluted seriously
C. the number of koalas is dropping quickly
D. koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas
【2】Global warming is an important cause of koalas’ reduction because _____.
A. koalas can hardly stand the hot weather
B. koalas cannot get enough water to drink
C. the leaves koalas eat are losing nutritional value
D. the leaves koalas eat cannot grow in hot weather
【3】According to Bob Beeton, _____.
A. koalas are his favourite animals
B. a decision will be made to protect koalas
C. they needn’t pay special attention to koalas
D. koalas needn’t be protected at all

A middle school in Yueyang in central China's Hunan province charges students 1 yuan per day for napping in lunch break. Students had to pay 138 yuans per semester after the school enforced a compulsory hour-long midday break from 12.40 to 1.40 pm. But students could only nap at their desks, in classrooms with no internal heating system.
Meanwhile, students were asked to pay around 400 yuan per person for extra-curricular lessons during winter vacations. The authority also revealed that the school has also asked parents to buy their Parents' Guidebook priced at 29 yuan. Students also had to pay 30-yuan per semester for drinking water.
The school later justified charging a fee, saying that the money was used to gave an extra bonus to the teachers, who had to sacrifice their lunch break to watch over the students as they napped.
School added that some students live far from the school and therefore cannot go home during the mid-day break.
