Over the years I've been teaching kids about a simple 16 powerful concept ─ the ant philosophy. They have an amazing four-part philosophy.

First, ants never quit. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a great philosophy it is to never quit 17 (look) for a way to get 18 you're supposed to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer. That's 19 important attitude. You can't be so naive(幼稚的) as to think summer will last forever. People 20 have a little experience are clear about this. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summ er. It’s important to be realistic. You have to think about rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead. The third part is that ants think summer all winter. During the winter, they remind 21 , "This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here." And 22 the first warm day, the ants are out. If it 23 (turn) cold again, they'll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm. They can't wait 24 (get) out. Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it 25 (possible) can.

What a great philosophy to have----the ant philosophy：never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

One of the most common complaints of apartment-dwellers(居民) is annoying neighbors. Here are some ways to handle noisy neighbors.

Accept Some Degree of Apartment Noise

Before getting worked up over the noisy neighbors in the apartment, make sure to have realistic expectations. Everyone living in an apartment building is bound to hear noise from other units' televisions, music, and children occasionally.

Give Noisy Neighbors the Benefit of the Doubt

It's probably the case that the neighbor who is driving everyone crazy doesn't realize how far his noise is carrying.Remember that noise level is difficult to control with children. Babies inevitably cry in the middle of the night.

Meet the Neighbors and Be Friendly

Making a friendly gesture will surprisingly reduce apartment noise. Neighbors who know each other will probably be much more careful not to bother each other.

Address Noise Calmly and Face-to-Face

If a loud noise needs to be addressed, go to the offending apartment personally and knock politely on the door. Being polite will usually bring a polite response Report Noisy Neighbors to the Landlord

If a noise issue becomes a constant problem or doesn't improve after a personal request, it's time to bring it up to management. Make sure to be objective and fair in your report, and be able to cite the frequency of the problem and provide details about it.

Dhaka's pedal-powered tricycles (脚踏三轮车) may not appear high-tech but they keep the commuters moving and do no damage to the environment.

Travel, they say, broadens your mind. I am not sure if it really does but it is certainly an experience in itself. Just like the food, the public transport is also an experience. Dhaka streets are full of carbon emitting buses and trucks and noisy cars.

Traffic jams are a part of daily life in Dhaka. Residents say vehicle-related pollution has been more and more serious over the last few years. Perhaps to ease the situation, some of the many non-profit non-government organizations –and the civil society ought to launch a “Save the Capital campaign”.

It is true that in Dhaka at any hour of the day and in many areas, there are always crowds of people going somewhere – or just waiting for something to happen. One thing is sure: You will never feel lonely!

One form of transport which is extremely popular, widely available, cheap, private and eco-friendly is a three-wheeled invention called rickshaw(人力车). The most interesting feature of these slow-moving pedal-powered transport is the bright and colourful “moving art” which decorates their side and back. The drawings range from romance to the wildest flights of fantasy. The scenes are common: airplanes, helicopters, and gun-battles, masked men in sports cars, rosy cheeked well-endowed women, palatial mansions, rivers and green landscape.

When you hire a rickshaw, make yourself “comfortable” and tell the driver your destinati on, you have then become a part of the moving art exhibition. The rickshaws are decorated in vivid colours, from front to back.

We cannot deny that the rickshaw art however modest it may be reaches millions everyday –something only dreamt of by the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh, Turner or Monet.

While at the local level the rickshaws provide a readily available cheap means of transport and a way out of the crowded Dhaka streets, on a broader and international level the rickshaws are contributing to help bring down the city’s pollution levels and ease global warming.

B. rickshaws will be popular all over the world soon

C. the drawings on the rickshaws covers limited topics.

D. the government has launched a “Save the Capital campaign”

With Oscar Peterson's death on the 23rd December 2007, Canada, and the jazz world, mourns.

Oscar Emmanuel Peterson was born on August 15th, 1925, in a poor area of Montreal known as Little Burgundy. His father, Daniel Peterson, earned his living as a railway worker, but spent most of his spare time playing the piano, a passion he finally passed onto his son Oscar. However, Oscar, until he was 8 or 9, thought himself a budding professional baseball player rather than a musician. He spent more time playing ball than practising endless scales with his father -- that is, until he heard some jazz on the radio.

One of the jazz musicians Peterson found himself listening to on that old family radio was the partially blind, Ohio born pianist, Art Tatum. From then on he was hooked.

But Peterson's father knew that without a good formal musical education, the talented Oscar would be at a disadvantage. To this end, Daniel Peterson arranged for Oscar to have private lessons with a famous classical pianist Paul de Marky.

By the time Peterson reached his teens he was already playing in several local Montreal jazz and dance bands, attracting audiences with his unique technique sound.

And it was at that concert, in 1949, that Peterson first played with bassist(男低音) Ray Brown - a musical partnership that was to last until Brown's death in 2002. After that concert Peterson's career went from strength to strength, with at least five long playing records coming out each year from the mid-1950s.

A highlight of his career was an invitation to write a piece of music for the marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.

Throughout his long career Oscar Peterson was given many awards for his services to music. He was also, apart from Queen Elizabeth II, one of the few people to get his picture on a Canadian postage stamp.

In 1993 Peterson suffered a stroke(中风). In the last couple of years, he was only really playing with his right hand, which sounded better, and was faster, than most jazz pianists with two good hands.

Oscar Peterson died on the Sunday before Christmas from renal failure at his home in the Mississauga suburb of Toronto.

36. Who was disabled?

A. Oscar Peterson.

B. Paul de Marky.

C. Art Tatum.

D. Ray Brown.

37. Which of the following statements about Oscar Peterson is TRUE?

A. He was born in a rich area of Montreal.

B. His picture was on a Canadian postage stamp.

C. He always dreamed of becoming baseball player.

D. He had cooperated with Ray Brown for a short time.

38. What does the underlined word "hooked" most probably mean?

A. Attracted.

B. Surprised.

C. Shocked.

D. Annoyed.

39. Which is the right order of the following statements?

a. Oscar Peterson suffered a stroke

b. Peterson first played with Ray Brown

c. Oscar Peterson had lessons with Paul de Marky

d. Oscar Peterson played in local Montreal jazz and dance bands

e. Oscar Peterson wrote music for the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer

A. d-c-b-e-a

B. d-c-b-a-e

C. c-d-b-a-e

D. c-d-b-e-a

40. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

A. Oscar Peterson's career took off after the concert in 1949.

B. Oscar Peterson was given many awards for his success in music

C. Oscar Peterson’s father had a great influence on his road to success.

D. Oscar Peterson’ poor health prevented him from playing the piano after 1993.

If you’re trying to fi nd out what to study in college, a new report suggests you would do well choosing a major in science, technology, engineering or math.

The report, based on Census and National Science Foundation data analyzed by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, shows that professions that depend heavily on skills learned in these fields are the second-fastest growing occupational group in the United States, after health care.

While traditional fields like computer engineering and laboratory research make up about 5 percent of the work force, demand for science, technology, engineering and math skills is spreading far beyond, to occupations in manufacturing, transportation and mining, as well as to

sales and management. As a result, the study argues that there is a shortage of so-called STEM workers.

With a shortage of people trained in such fields, many technology and scientific companies in the United States are forced to employ people from abroad, the study’s authors say.

According to the study, people with talent in science, technology, engineering or math don’t often major in such subjects during college in the first place. Of those graduating with such degrees, only 10 percent go into related fields such as engineering, physical science or architecture.

Compared with many other fields outside of these majors, STEM workers can earn higher wages. On average, 65 percent of those who hold a bachelor’s degree in such fields will earn more than those who hold maste r’s degrees in other subjects. Among those with associate’s degrees in the science and technical fields, 63 percent earn more than those who hold bachelor’s degrees in other subjects.

“I’m used to thinking of liberal arts as the foundational degree that gi ves you lots of choices in a career,” Mr. Carnevale said. Increasingly, he said, science, technology, engineering and math are important to a wide-ranging career. “You get a bigger bump going in, and almost at every stage you have other choice s,” he said.

But don’t count philosophy or literature out, either. Mr. Carnevale said that in surveys of employers, one of the biggest complaints about technical workers is that they “can’t talk and can’t write a memo and have horrible interpersonal skills.” So maybe t he best course of study is

a double major.

41.According to the report, which is the fastest growing occupational group?

A. Education

B. Health care

C. Science

D. Accounting

42.What do many technology and scientific companies do in the USA because of a shortage of

STEM workers?

A. They .plan to train STEM workers by themselves.

B. They hire STEM workers from foreign countries.

C. They persuade colleges to train more STEM workers.

D. They want to give up hiring STEM workers .

43. We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A. A science degree is gaining a rising value.

B. Everyone should major in science, technology, engineering or math.

C. People with a science degree will have the best future.

D. Most people with a science degree go into related fields.

44. Mr. Carnevale believes that ________.

A. philosophy and literature are not so important for people with science degree

B. employers focus only on workers practical skills in related fields

C. employers pay little attention to technical workers’ interpersonal skills

D. people with science degree will have other choices in their career

45.What is purpose of this passage?

A. To persuade.

B. To educate.

C. To inform.

D. To advise.

With 75.5 million students enrolled in school in the U.S., 3.6 million tons of waste are produced by U.S. colleges and universities alone each year. Most of this waste comes from paper and more than half of the waste produced could be recycled, but instead winds up in the trash. The second biggest waste product that comes from schools is food waste. A single elementary school in the U.S. produces about 13,360 pounds of food waste. In a close third, is the energy that schools waste –about $1.5 billion is wasted every year by leaving the air conditioning, heating, and lights on when nobody is there!

Use simple and easy ways to stop contributing to your school's waste. You can't change it all, but change what you can. It does make a difference. For example, there are so many energy efficient ways to get to school. Since most of us live close to the school we go to or send our children to, ride a bike to get there or walk. You get a little exercise and save almost 100,000 gallons of gas per day. You can also take the bus.

第二节读写任务(共1小题，满分25分)

From the passage we can know that there is a serious problem of wasting energy in schools in the U.S . The author also gives suggestion to stop this phenomenon.

In our daily life, we can see that people waste many recourses. For example, people order more food than they can eat. People go out without turning off the electricity and water, and so on.

There is no denying that wasting recourse is harmful. Many students get into the bad habit of wasting recourse and lack the sense of environmental awareness. It is bad for the development of themselves. What's worse, if these continue, we will have not enough energy in the future.

As a student, I will try my best to make contributions to save energy in my daily life. First, I would start from doing some small things, such as collecting used items for recycling, turning off the lights, and saving water. More importantly, I will educate my schoolmates to save energy.
