Protecting our environment

With the rapid development of world economy, many people come to realize that we have got the development at the cost of our environment. It is often reported that we are suffering more and more disasters because of the damaged environment.

If we human beings are clever enough, we should take measures to protect our environment right now. If we didn’t, the earth would come to an end. We should pass laws to forbid cutting down trees. Those who pollute rivers and seas should be punished. Wild animals should be well protected. Everyone should know the importance of protecting environment.

As is known to all, if we act soon enough, we can still have a bright future. If we don’t, one thing is certain. We will be punished by nature.

One possible version:

　 The government pays special attention to its transportation. Some traffic bridges have been built; and the main streets have also been widened. To protect nature, the government has managed to transform or move the factories far away which polluted the air and water much. Also, many other measures are being taken to prevent pollution. To meet the need of the development, all kinds of experts and skilled workers are to be brought in.

I believe the people in my hometown will have a better life and will surely be richer and happier.

A possible version

Last week, we had a sport meet. Many admirable students moved us greatly. Li Hua was one of them. When Li Hua decided to take part in the 3,000­-metre race，everyone was very surprised. One of his classmates said，“Li Hua，you are not strong enough to run the 3,000 metres.” But Li Hua said，“I don’t think I will win，but I’m determined to finish it.”

During the race，each step seemed difficult for Li Hua. Suddenly he fell，breaking his glasses and his chance of winning the race. But he didn’t give up. He stood up，put on his broken glasses and kept on running. “Come on，Li Hua. You can do it！” Everyone on the sports field was cheering for him. Although Li Hua was the last one to cross the finishing line，he won the Courage Cup with honor.

I was deeply touched by Li Hua’s great determination. In my mind，winning in life shouldn’t be measured by the final score；it should be based on how you play the game.

答案：63-66 BBCC　　　　　　

E

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world?

That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners -- some in electronic form -- to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.

To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time -- like money -- slips all too easily through our fingers. And time -- like the weather-- is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.

65. What can we learn about the students in their teens and early 20s?

　　　 A. All of them are addicted to using cellphones.

　　　 B. They will get rid of the habit once they go to work.

　　　 C. They are greatly different from the past generations.

　　　 D. Most of them check Facebook more than 10 times a day.

64. What does the underlined word “subconscious” mean?

　　　 A. dangerous　　　　 　　 　B. purposeless　　　　　　　　　　 C. popular　　　　　　　　　　 D. impolite
