    Having walked in the desert for several days, we felt exhausted, but we had to find a pool before water in the bottle ____.

    A．ran out ofB．ran awayC．ran out D．ran off

    C

    解析试题分析：考查短语辨析。A用完，耗尽；B跑开；C用完，耗尽（没有被动语态）；D流失；句意：在沙漠里走了好几天，我们感觉很疲惫了。可是我们要在瓶里的水用完之前找到水塘。A项后面要接宾语。故C正确。
    考点：考查短语辨析
    点评：动词的短语辨析要根据上下文的语境进行，要把短语的意思和句意相结合。同时也要注意一个短语多种意义的现象，如pick up 捡起；用车接；无意中学会；接受信号；康复。恢复；染上…；在平时的学习中要把同种类型的短语放在一起比较，如同一个动词+不同的介词/副词；同一个介词/副词+不同的动词。诸如此类的固定短语，属于最基本的知识，如果学生有错误，则应该加强背诵并平时多解题，进而加以巩固.

    阅读理解

    　　Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming．Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide．In closing she called me a hero．

    　　That got me thinking about what a hero is．Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car?If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life?

    　　Today I decided to look up the word“hero”in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant．It read“a person who does something brave”．As I read on, it also said“a person who is good and noble．”

    　　That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave．So I thought about something very important．Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy．As they passed by, I say,“How are you today?”Most of the time that would be no big deal, but this time let's say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope．That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time．

    　　Having been near“the end of my rope”, after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition．I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery．When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend．That wonderful card probably saved my life．That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero．

    　　The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy．In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero．I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages(孤儿院)．Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world．The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten．Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared．If it works, we will also become“heroes”．

    　　Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life, just by being kind and courteous to others?The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor．

    Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 12 words.
    The first fast food restaurants opened in the United Sates at the end of the 1950s. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the fast food industry continued to expand across the United Sates. Two aspects of American society that helped the fast food industry take off were teenagers and cars. Teenagers were the best workers to fill the low-skill jobs needed to work in fast food restaurants putting together hamburgers, taking orders and frying potatoes. Fast food chains also marketed themselves to people with cars by having drive-thru order windows and car hops. Car hops were waitresses who usually wore roller skates and brought the food outside the restaurant so that people could eat in their cars.
    The trend of fast food chains hiring teenagers continues today. One out of every eight Americans has worked at McDonald’s, the largest fast food chain in the United States. Fast food chains used to be found only along highways or in business areas where people need to grab a quick lunch before returning to work. Today, however, fast food restaurants can be found in sports stadiums, airports, gas stations, malls; on college campuses, cruise ships; at K-Mart, Wal-Mart; and in hospital cafeterias.
    The popularity of fast food in the United States is related to the idea that people would rather eat in a place they are familiar with rather than try a new place they know nothing about. This is the philosophy behind franchises(特许经营). When a person buys a franchise, they are paying for the use of the company’s name. This system has advantages and disadvantages for the person starting the restaurant. The new franchise owner is called the “franchisee”. The company selling its name is the “franchiser”. The franchiser brings experience, equipment, and a business plan to the deal. The franchisee puts up the money and does all the work. On the negative side, the franchiser gives up some control by not owning each restaurant or store directly. The franchisee gives up her or his ability to make personal decisions because she or he has to obey the rules of the company.

    [1] As adolescents(青少年), having a meaningful effect on the world can seem like an impossible task for the simple fact of being kids.  Changing the world does not only mean finding a cure for cancer, eliminating poverty, or finding the origin of humanity, but recycling a piece of paper as well. Going Green is a practical way that adolescents can have a real, meaningful influence in the world.  There are numerous options of how individuals can change their lifestyles to be more eco-conscious(有生态环保意识的). What follows are three simple ways young adolescents can go green and change the world.

    1. Recycle

    [2] According to a Wire & Twine online article, 63 million newspapers come out every day and of those 44 million are thrown away; recycling the Sunday newspaper alone we could save half a million trees a week.

    [3] The age of technology constantly creates new phones, iPods, or new computers.  Many will stand in line for hours if not days to get their hands on the new piece of technology, but what happens with the old ones once they are replaced?  Nothing, according to Earth911 about 75% of the old devices sit in the back of a drawer collecting dust.  By taking them to the local stores that collect them, they go to poor people which in turn removes them from landfills(垃圾填埋场) where the phones explode because of the lead and lithium-ion(锂离子) the phones contain.

    2. Go vegetarian one day a week

    [4] Instead of breaking down the pros and cons(利弊) of the vegetarian lifestyle into a long boring paragraph, here are some astonishing facts on going vegetarian for only one day.  According to Noam Mohr, a physicist at the New York University, the United States would save 100 billion gallons of water which is enough to supply all homes in New England for about 4 months.

    [5] The United States would save 70 million gallons of gas which is enough to fuel all the cars of Canada and Mexico combined and still have some to spare. The United States could prevent 3 million tons of soil erosion(侵蚀), 4.5 million tons of animal wastes, and about 7 tons of ammonia emissions (氨排放). The Environmental Defense concludes with the most interesting fact: if the entire population gives up one meal of chicken, the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated would be the same amount if more than half a million cars were taken off U.S. roads.

    3. 第63题

    [6] Most drink bottled water because of the common view that bottled water is healthier than regular tap water; actually, 25% of bottled water comes from regular tap water and all that is done extra is it going through a filter(过滤器).  Tap water has higher regulations from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration美国食品药品管理局) than bottled water does.  Companies do not need to list where they got the water from, how they purify the water, or what chemicals their plastic water bottles contain.  Plastic bottles do not get recycled 90% of the time which results in 1.5 million tons of plastic in landfills which take thousands of years to rot.  Not only are you drinking the same water as that in your house but also paying extra.  The average 24-pack of bottled water cost $3.97 at the local Wal-Mart and a reusable water bottle cost between $4.99-$7.99; just imagine how much money could be saved if reusable water bottles replaced plastic water bottles.

    [7] Changing the world for a positive has to start somewhere and while it may be hard and at times it may seem as if the small changes that are being done are not affecting the world, keep in mind what Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

    58. What’s the whole passage mainly talked about?

      A. Ways to protect environment.                B. Ways to become powerful.

      C. The importance of recycling.                        D. The importance of saving water.

    59. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

      A. Changing the world involves many questions.

    B. It’s not easy to change the world.

      C. Changing the world is not so difficult.   

    D. We can actually do everything.

    60. How much of the daily newspapers are thrown away according to Paragraph 2?

      A. About 44%.         B. About 63%.             C. About 70%.            D. About 75%.

    61. In the article, the writer _____ to tell us the benefits of the vegetarian lifestyle.

      A. does a lot of reasoning                                 B. uses many facts    

    C. borrows VIPs’ phrases                                  D. puts forward new ideas

    62. What’s the benefits of giving up just one day of eating meat according to Paragraph 4 and 5?

      A. Much water and gas would be saved.           B. Much land would be spared.

      C. More animals would survive.                         D. More cars would be on the roads.

    63. Which of the following can be the subtitle(小标题) of Paragraph 6?

      A. Drink healthy water                                B. Produce bottled water

      C. Give up bottled water                             D. Reuse tap water

    64. Why do many people choose to drink bottled water according to Paragraph 6?

      A. They think it’s cheaper.                                 B. They think it’s healthier.

      C. They think it’s more fashionable.                  D. They think it’s environmental friendly.

    65. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

      A. We should find a proper time to start action

    B. Small changes will make big differences.

      C. Personal efforts will not affect the world.

    D. A small group of people matters.
