Switching public spending from “grey” projects such as roads and airports, to “  21  ” schemes such as parks, tree planting and vegetables gardens, would not only   22  the government billions of pounds, improve health, and cut climate emissions(排放物),   23   it would create jobs and make British cities more attractive.

The analysis comes from two groups of government advisers, Natural England and the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, and is supported by   24  from other countries. It shows that  25  cuts are made in those areas that add to pollution, waste and ill health, and money is invested   26   in projects that save energy, improve health and reduce waste, the benefits are seen quickly.

For instance, the £10.2 billion budgeted by central government for   27   building in Britain this year will increase traffic and emissions and leave the public purse to clean up the pollution and waste. Just half of that money would pay for a new park in every local authority. Equally, the £1.28 billion   28   for widening the M25 by a single lane would benefit drivers by perhaps a few seconds a journey, but it would buy and maintain more than 3 million new street trees.

Government figures show that road traffic has increased 25% in the past 15 years, at the same time as obesity and public health costs have soared. Research also shows that in the place where people have direct   29   with the environment via animals, plants or landscapes, they are more   30  to be mentally and physically healthy. Hospital patients with views of trees rather than of brick walls stay in hospitals for far less time.

21. A. white           B. pink                  C. green                D. purple

22. A. waste           B. save                  C. spend                D. earn

23. A. but                     B. and                   C. so                  D. or

24. A. accident              B. evidence            C. statistics            D. survey

25. A. if            B. while                C. as                     D. where

26. A. however          B. instead                     C. thus                  D. besides

27. A. apartment    B. airport                     C. road                  D. car

28. A. put aside             B. put down           C. set aside         D. set up

29. A. contact               B. communication  C. effect                D. benefit

A Magical Experience

One hot August afternoon, Deena Hoagland and her son Joe sat on a floating platform at Dolphins Plus, a marine（海洋）center near their home in Florida. Nearby, a large, powerful, six-hundred-pound dolphin circled to study the mother and her child. Suddenly, it splashed the Hoaglands with water. That is when something amazing happened. Three-year-old Joe Hoagland smiled. Sitting with Joe on her lap, Deena smiled, too, as her heart leapt with joy. It was the first sign of hope she had seen in Joe since his stroke（中风）six weeks earlier.

Joe Hoagland was born with a rare heart condition that had forced him to spend much of his first three years of life in hospitals. After a series of open-heart surgeries, Joe seemed to be doing better, but the last surgery on his heart resulted in a stroke, which left him unable to move one side and to see out of one eye.

Worse still, the spirit of the child, who had bravely battled his illness until then was seemingly broken. Afraid of his doctors and unwilling to participate in efforts at physical therapy（治疗）, Joe grew listless, losing interest even in his favorite toys.

Having heard of a new therapeutic approach termed “dolphin-assisted therapy,” Deena phoned Dolphins Plus and asked permission to bring her son along. There Joe met Fonzie, the playful dolphin. With each passing visit, Joe seemed to make more progress. Before long, he was regaining some movement on his left side. Dolphins Plus trainers urged Joe to get into the water and swim with his new friend. Joe, however, was reluctant. Gradually, though, Joe became more comfortable with the large dolphin, and by mid-September, Joe was swimming with his friends.

Over the next two years, Joe fully recovered from the paralysis and partial blindness that his doctors thought irreversible. Now a healthy, active teenager, Joe lives a life similar to any of his friends. He visits and swims frequently with his friend Fonzie and helps his parent with Island Dolphin Care. Deena started Island Dolphin Care to work with Dolphins Plus to share the benefits of dolphin therapy with other special-needs children and their parents.

Many people seem to think that science fiction is typified by the Bug-eyed Monster, embodying every feature that most people find unpleasant. This is unfortunate because it degrades a worthwhile literary endeavor. Instead, the basic interest of science fiction lies in the relation between man and his technology and between man and the universe. Science fiction is a literature of change and a literature of the future, and the aspects of human life that it considers make it well worth reading and studying for no other literary form does quite the same things. What is science fiction? To begin, the following definition should be helpful: science fiction is a literary subgenre which postulates(以…为前提) a change (for human beings) from conditions as we know them and follows the implications of these changes to a conclusion.?

The first point that science fiction is a literary subgenre is a very important one, but one which is often overlooked. Specifically, science fiction is either a short story or a novel. There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction; the body of poetry that might be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger. To say that science fiction is a subgenre of prose fiction(小说) is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves the same basic functions in much the same way as prose fiction in general, that is, it shares a great deal with all other novels and short stories.

Everything that can be said about prose fiction, in general, applies to science fiction. Every piece of science fiction, whether short story or novel, must have a narrator, a story, a plot, characters, setting, and language. The themes of science fiction are concerned with interpreting man’s nature and experience around him. Themes in science fiction are constructed and presented in exactly the same ways that themes are dealt with in any other kind of fiction. They are the result to a particular combination of a narrator, story, plot, character, setting, and language. In short, the reasons for reading and enjoying science fiction, and the ways of studying and analyzing it, are basically the same as they would be for any other story or novel.?

51.From the first paragraph, we can infer that science fiction has been most popular in the 20th century because ____.?

A with the growth of literacy, the size of the reading public has increased?

B competition from television has created a demand for more exciting fiction?

C science fiction is easier to understand than other kinds of fiction?

D the increased importance of technology has given science fiction an increased relevance

52.According to the definition in the passage, a fictional work that places human beings in a prehistoric world inhabited by dinosaurs____.?

A cannot be called science fiction because it does not deal with the future?

B cannot be called science fiction because it doesn’t deal with technology?

C can be called science fiction because it deals with man’s relation with the world?

D can be called science fiction because it places people in an environment different from the one we know?

53. Science fiction is called a literary subgenre because____.?

A it is not important enough to be a literary genre?

B it cannot be made into a dramatic presentation?

C it shares characteristics with other types of prose fiction?

D it has its limits?

54.One implication of the final sentence in the passage is that____.?

A the reader should turn next to commentaries on general fiction?

B there is no reason for any reader not to like science fiction?

C the reader should compare other novels and stories to science fiction?

D those who can appreciate prose fiction can appreciate science fiction?

55.An appropriate title for this passage would be____.?

A Man and the Universe?

B Toward a Definition of Science Fiction?

C A Type of Prose Fiction?

D The Bug-Eyed Monster??

Go on a trip. Work and family are two most important things in people’s lives. People try to tackle the two things at once, but most of them fail. Just as an old saying goes: People who know how to rest know how to work. Go out with your family and have a good time.

Many people often say there is more stress in today's society than in years past. In fact, these people are comparing our lives with that of the cave man, who didn't have to worry about the stock market or the atomic bomb. They forget that the cave man worried about being eaten by a hear while he was asleep, or about dying of hunger--things that few people worry much about today.

Actually stress is a normal state of affairs, and it's important that people understand what they are talking about when they speak about stress. Whenever anyone experiences something unpleasant, for lack of a better word they say they are under stress. Yet there is such a thing as pleasant stress--as in the case of the Olympic winner at the moment of his glory, or a conductor as his orchestra performs particularly well. They are just sending out excitement, and they are giving off all the stress hormones exactly the same as if they were in low spirits or had just heard of a death in the family. We call the pleasant or healthy kind "eustress” and the unpleasant or unhealthy kind "distress".

Then how can people deal with stress? The secret is not to avoid it but to "do your own thing". It implies doing what you like to do and what you are made to do at your own speed. For most people, it is really a matter of learning how to live and how to behave in various situations, to decide: “Do I really want to take my father's business or be a musician?” If you really want to be a musician, then be one.

64. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

A. Modern people experiences more stress than the cave man.

B. The cave man experienced more stress than modern people.

C. People don't suffer more stress today; it's just that they think they do.

D. Modern people have the same worries as the cave man did.

65. In which of the following situations will you feel "eustress"?

A. Your favorite football team has lost an important game.

B. You have failed an important examination.

C. You are informed of an accident of your best friend.

D. You have won the first prize in an English competition.

66 The purpose of writing the passage is to let us know _________________________.

A. stress does not necessarily refer to unpleasant experience

B. distress is what people call the pleasant kind of stress

C. an Olympic winner feels the same stress as one who loses a family member

D. people will feel eustress and distress at the same time

67. According to the passage, how can people deal with stress?

A. Do things that you really want to do.    B. Do whatever you're expected to do.

C. Try to do things successfully.          D. Refuse to do whatever you're told to.

Waste to Energy—JUST BURN IT!

WHY BURN WASTE?

Waste-to-energy plants generate (产生) enough electricity to supply 2.4 million households in the US. But, providing electricity is not the major advantage of waste-to-energy plants. In fact, it costs more to generate electricity at a waste-to-energy plant than it does at a coal, nuclear, or hydropower plant. 

The major advantage of burning waste is that it considerably reduces the amount of trash going to landfills. The average American produces more than 1,600 pounds of waste a year. If all this waste were landfilled, it would take more than two cubic yards of landfill space. That’s the volume of a box three feet long, three feet wide, and six feet high. If that waste were burned, the ashes would fit into a box three feet long, three feet wide, but only nine inches high!

Some communities in the Northeast may be running out of land for new landfills. And, since most people don’t want landfills in their backyards, it has become more difficult to obtain permits to build new landfills. Taking the country as a whole, the United States has plenty of open space, of course, but it is expensive to transport garbage a long distance to put it into a landfill.

TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN?

Some people are concerned that burning garbage may harm the environment. Like coal plants, waste-to-energy plants produce air pollution when the fuel is burned to produce steam or electricity. Burning garbage releases the chemicals and substances found in the waste. Some chemicals can be a threat to people, the environment, or both, if they are not properly controlled.

Some critics of waste-to-energy plants are afraid that burning waste will hamper (妨碍，阻碍) recycling programs. If everyone sends their trash to a waste-to-energy plant, they say, there will be little motive to recycle. Several states have considered or are considering banning waste-to-energy plants unless recycling programs are in place. Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York City have delayed new waste-to-energy plants, hoping to increase the level of recycling first.

So, what’s the real story? Can recycling and burning waste coexist? At first glance, recycling and waste-to-energy seem to be at odds (不一致), but they can actually complement (弥补) each other. That’s because it makes good sense to recycle some materials, and better sense to burn others.

Let’s look at aluminum, for example. Aluminum mineral is so expensive to mine that recycling aluminum more than pays for itself. Burning it produces no energy. So clearly, aluminum is valuable to recycle and not useful to burn.  

Paper, on the other hand, can either be burned or recycled—it all depends on the price the used paper will bring.

Plastics are another matter. Because plastics are made from petroleum and natural gas, they are excellent sources of energy for waste-to-energy plants. This is especially true since plastics are not as easy to recycle as steel, aluminum, or paper. Plastics almost always have to be hand sorted and making a product from recycled plastics may cost more than making it from new materials. 

To burn or not to burn is not really the question. We should use both recycling and waste-to-energy as alternatives to landfilling.

Waste to Energy—JUST BURN IT!
