    To pollute or not to pollute? That is the question. In order to survive, we all need to cause pollution. Factories that process the food we eat, clothes we wear, and cars we drive have to cause pollution. The environment has the ability to absorb our waste or the pollution, but its absorption ability has its limits. If the pollution level is higher than what the environment can cope with, then that's the time when pollution is bad.

    If the pollution level becomes too high, human health can be affected badly. Then, the productivity level of the sick people is low and the economy suffers. The economy suffers not only because of the lost productivity of the people, but also because the government must pay for the damage the pollution has done to its people.

    This is the reason why the government prefers taxation policy. Imposing（征收）a tax on firms that pollute the environment can be considered a good strategy, as long as the tax covers all the external costs or the cost of the damage the firm has created during production.

    Taxation, if enforced（执行）really well, can make firms create a technology that may reduce pollution, if they find out that it will be cheaper than continuously paying the tax. The disadvantage of this policy, however, lies in the possibility that some big firms will find the tax cheap and then they will just produce more and pollute the environment more. If other small firms find the tax expensive, thus closing down, their production will be eaten up by those firms which can afford the tax.

    Therefore, it is important that lawmakers in each country, when deciding to impose a tax on pollutant emissions, first review and analyze very carefully the real cost of the damage.

    1. We can infer from the first paragraph that

    A. for human beings pollution is unavoidable

    B. it's not easy to figure out how bad pollution is

    C. humans should reduce the use of everyday products

    D. we can survive without causing pollution.

    2.The underlined word "absorb" here refers to”____”．

    A. reduce B. fit in

    C. avoid D. deal with

    3.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

    A. The effects of pollution on human health.

    B. The relationship between people and their government.

    C. The effects of pollution on economic development.

    D. The relationship between human health and economic development.

    4.Which of the following can be the result of imposing a higher tax according to Paragraph 3 ？

    A. Firms may reduce the prices of their products.

    B. Firms may develop some environmental technology.

    C.A big firm will be broken up into small firms.

    D.A small firm will try to pass the tax on to consumers.

    What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English maybe good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

    Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.

    Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not ignore it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

    1.What is the passage mainly about?

    A. The importance of working hard at school.

    B. Choosing a career according to one’s strengths.

    C. How to face one’s weakness.

    D. The value of school work.

    2.The writer thinks that a student’s part-time job is probably_____.

    A. a good way to find out his weak points

    B. one of the best ways of earning extra money

    C. of great use for his work in the future

    D. a waste of time he could have spent on study

    3.From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he ______.

    A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities

    B. will be regretful about his bad results

    C. may also do well in his future work

    D. should restart his study at school

    4.The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in Para.3) probably means “______”.

    A. be clumsy at doing things

    B. be skillful in doing things

    C. be not interested in certain things

    D. be easily bored in doing things

    As the capital of China's Shaanxi Province, Xi'an's long history was properly summed up by our English-speaking guide: "If Xi'an is the grandmother of cities, Beijing is a youth and Shanghai is just a baby in the womb. "

    However, it was not until 1974, following the chance discovery of the Army of Terracotta Warriors by well-digging farmers, that Xi'an was once again pushed onto the international map. Three decades later, the local government is pouring funds into the tourism sector. Ancient monuments and museums are being restored, and various copies of Buddhist and Tang heritage are being constructed to help Chinese tourists rediscover their national heritage.

    One of those ancient monuments is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda-Xi'an's most sacred (神圣的) monument-which was built in 652 by the monk Xuanzang ,who travelled across India for 18 years and returned with a precious collection of Buddhist sacred texts. In 1966,the Red Guards burnt the pagoda's scriptures, silk wall hangings and other relics in a bonfire that raged all night. But that destruction has largely been forgotten as tourists flock to the newly restored pagoda. The only original remainders-the empty shell of the seven-storey pagoda-light up at night, standing out in the city's skyline.

    Xi'an is also displaying the glories of the ancient Tang Dynasty, with a 165-acre Tang Paradise Theme Park that is visited by flocks of tourist groups. Although every bit of this Tang heritage is recreated, it is artistically pleasing, landscaped with ponds and lakes, classical gardens, bridges, palaces and pavilions. Explore the vast area on a golf cart, hopping on and off to see shortened operas from the Tang Dynasty days, laser shows on the lake, highly structured man-made waterfalls, as well as murals and statues of historical figures ,philosophers and poets.

    A 36km drive northeast takes you to Xi'an's most famous attraction, the Army of Terracotta Warriors. They were made to order in 221BC by the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi, who used the forced labour of 700,000 subjects to create a mausoleum(陵庙) guarded by an entire army.

    1.From the passage we can learn that a large sum of money of the local government in Xi'an is being ploughed into .

    A. restoring the monuments

    B. restoring the Pagoda

    C. tourism industry

    D. exploring the history

    2. How many historical sites in Xi'an have been referred to in the passage?

    A. Three. B. Four. C. One. D. Six.

    3. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph about the Tang Paradise Theme Park?

    A. Visitors are pleased with the survivals from the Tang Dynasty.

    B. The natural waterfalls in it are very attractive.

    C. It is totally recreated but is artistically pleasant.

    D. Visitors can appreciate the full Tang Dynasty operas.

    4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

    A. Make a visit to ancient sites at once.

    B. China's ancient capital rises again.

    C. Travel to the Army of Terracotta Warriors.

    D. Take a view in the modern city.
