As global warming continues to be a major concern for the future of our planet，people are starting to turn to green living practices to help save it for future generations．Green living involves every aspect of our daily life from driving to work to mowing（割草等）our lawns．
Making the switch to green living all at once might scare most people away from carrying out those earth-friendly changes．There are many ways to ease into this practice and still help save the earth’s environment．
Air pollution is a major problem for some cities．A lot of it comes from the factories, but that’s not the only way contributing to global warming．Automobiles give off a fair amount of pollutant（污染物）into the air．When you have a lot of cars driving around on the city streets, you’re multiplying the amounts of pollutant being emitted（发出）by each car that’s destroying our ozone（臭氧）．If you want to save the environment，you can start by either car pooling，walking more instead of driving or even purchasing hybrid（混合的）models that don’t do as much damage．
Then let’s take a look at your home．What kinds of bulbs are you using? The standard bulbs we use only contribute to higher electricity bills and more carbon dioxide．If you switch at least some of your standard bulbs with the compact fluorescent（荧光）bulbs，you can save the environment while saving on your electric bill．
Recycling is also an excellent way to save our environment．Try to buy as many products as you can that can be recycled．The less trash that has to be burned or buried into our soil，the better off our planet will be．
These small changes may seem that they couldn’t help much for the environment，but they can help tremendously．Every little bit we do is a much-needed step toward reserving（保留）natural resources for our future generations．
68．According to the first paragraph we can learn ．
A．few people are concerned about the environmental problems
B．more and more people are interested in green living practices
C．what green 1iving practices in modern society are
D．green living practices don’t help in our daily life
69．Most people will be frightened if ．
A．they are asked to do something to save the environment
B．they can’t drive to work any more
C．they are required to turn to green living completely at once
D．they are made to pay for the pollution they cause
70．In order to give off less harmful gas into the air, we can ．
A．close all the factories that may cause pollution
B．limit the car production
C．forbid too many cars to run in the streets
D．choose those cars which may cause the least pollution
71．The author recommends recyclable products because ．

Ⅳ、阅读理解（每小题2分; 满分30分）
A
Beijing’s markets will soon be flooded with more and cheaper colorful fruit such as orange mangos and green durian all year around.
Thanks to a new free trade agreement signed last Monday between China and the Association of Southeast Asia Nations(ASEAN), more and more tropical（热带的）South-east Asian fruit will enter the country.
The agreement means that from July 1, 2010, China and ASEAN countries will begin to cut tariffs（关税）. There are about 7,000 products included in the cuts.
As global communication develops, countries are trading more and more goods with each other. When products are sold across national boundaries（边界）,countries put a tax on them. This type of tax is called a tariff.
Just like removing an obstacle（障碍）from the path of these goods, the reduction of tariffs will encourage trade between China and ASEAN countries. It means more productions and lower prices.
The agreement will bring real benefits for Chinese customers, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman. “In the Beijing markets you will easily find more tropical fruit like durian, which used to be very, very expensive. Now they will be cheaper.” The current tariff rate on durian is 22 percent but will fall to zero in 2010.
In the first 10 months of this year China did US $84.6 billion of trade with ASEAN countries. Experts believe this may reach US $100 billion next year.
Founded in 1967, ASEAN now includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos.
56. More and more tropical fruits will enter China because_________.
A. there are too many of them in foreign countries
B. an agreement to cut tariffs was made
C. Chinese people are rich enough to afford them
D. The trading business is developing^
57. Which of the following statements about the agreement is NOT true?
A. It will lead to an increase in trade between China and ASEAN countries.
B. It might cause the prices of ASEAN products to fall.
C. It may greatly benefit the Chinese customers.
D. It won’t bring any benefits to producers of ASEAN countries.
58. We can infer from the story that_______ .
A. China is short of fruit
B. tariffs are an important factor in foreign trade
C. tropical countries have cheaper fruit
D. China prefers to trade with ASEAN countries
59. The best title for this passage is
A. Tariff Cut Increases Trade B. Best Ways To Sell Fruits
C. Tropical Fruit To China D. China Joins ASEAN

Easter(复活节 ) is still a great day for worship, randy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.
And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.
Take the Lower Keys March rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer — it lives on the islands! — but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0. 6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.
The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators（捕食者）.As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies arc being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.
American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the firs' of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 7-8 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (迁徙) to higher ground — but they already occupy the mountaintops. They can't go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats up.
The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.
Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.
【小题1】The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to_______.
| A．show the importance of Easter Day | B．introduce the issue about bunnies |
| C．remind people of Easter traditions | |
| D．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies |
| A．criminal | B．judge | C．victim | D．producer |
| A．are exposed lo more skillful hunters |
| B．have moved to habitats with fewer plants |
| C．haven't adapted themselves to climate change |
| D．can't change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring |

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has declared October 15 as Global Handwashing Day in 2005．The first Global Handwashing Day is on October 15 of 2008.Activities are planned over twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the UN Children's Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unilever and Procter and Gamble. The goal is to create a culture of hand washing with soap.
Hand washing can prevent the spread of disease. Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
When people get germs on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then they can infect others.
The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs. The correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at least twenty seconds.Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air. Soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. It also helps to break up the grease and dirt that hold most of the germs.And it usually leaves a pleasant smell,which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.
Washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea(痢疾) by almost half. And it could reduce deaths from pneumonia and other breathing infections by one-fourth. Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year. Pneumonia is the leading cause, killing about two million children under five each year. Hand washing can also prevent the spread of other diseases.
50.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that _______.
A.the first Global Handwashing Day was held in 2005
B.many originations support the idea of Global Handwashing Day
C.Global Handwashing Day was founded by many soap makers
D.the content of Global Handwashing Day is to wash your hand frequently
51.The underlined phrase “critical moments” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A.the turning points
B.schedules
C.the arrangement of a time
D.the necessary parts in health
52.The main purpose of the story is to tell us ________.
A.hand washing is very important
B.to create a culture of hand washing with soap
C.germs can infect ourselves and others
D.soaps play an important role in everyday life
53.The last paragraph implies that ___________.
A.a soap is a kind of medicine to prevent a disease
B.it is important for children to wash hands in a correct way
C.Pneumonia kills about two million children each year
D.Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths.

Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal's number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer.
This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothes—clothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended (混合) with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The results are electronic garments.
If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100% shock proof, they say.
The Electrotextiles team has also created the world's first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These “lap-tap” gadgets (器具)are all set to take over laptop computers!
Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear include the denim(牛仔布) jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(风帽) and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.
Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?
1.The electronic garments are similar to other electronic devices in that________.
A．they use electricity to generate power
B．they feel smooth and soft
C．they can be washed in water
D．they are made from flexible materials
2.How will researchers improve these high-tech clothes?
A．A tiny nine-volt battery will work.
B．The wearer will not get shocked.
C． Body heat will be used to generate electricity
D．They will get charged automatically.
3.What does the underlined phrase “This handy invention” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．The laptop computer.
B．The electronic ski jacket.
C．The shirt-cum-mobile phone.
D．The world's first cloth keyboard.
4.If you are going on a ski adventure, which device do you need?
A．The cloth keyboard.
B．The electronic ski jacket.
C．The necktie to be used as a mouse.
D．The denim jacket with earphones.
5.The main purpose of the text is________.
A．to advertise for an English company
