26、The role of a newspaper is to present and comment on the news. It is vital for keeping people well-informed on current affairs. In most Western countries, journalists try to shape the ideas and opinions of their readers, since in Western countries all newspapers are independent of the government. Some newspaper owners support liberal ideas including economic policies that help poor people. Other owners want policies such as lower taxes for rich people and less money to be given to poor people. You can almost judge the political ideas of a person in the West by looking at the newspaper he reads.

All newspapers report national and international news. They give the facts but also provide opinions on controversial issues in the editorials and columns of opinion. The readers of the newspaper can also comment on these editorials or articles. There are many informative articles too as well as reviews of new films and books, etc. These are very important, for if a film or book gets good reviews it will often become more successful.

All these articles require many journalists who are experts in different areas of life. All these articles come together and are checked by the chief editor of the newspaper. When he or she has made a decision on the articles, the newspaper is prepared for printing. All this work means that the journalists must work together as a team because there is a lot of pressure when you work in a newspaper office. There are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements, photographs and much, much more.

【1】What does the underlined word “be fitted” mean?

A. be suitable  B. be put

C. be read   D. be measured

【2】What articles comment on controversial issues?

A. Editorials and opinion columns.

B. News stories.

C. Some of the informative articles.

D. Jokes and humour.

【3】Which is true about the journalists in Western countries?

A. There’s no time limit for their report articles.

B. They have no right to influence the readers’ opinions.

C. A newspaper can come out with just a journalist working individually.

D. Journalists must submit their articles before the due date.

【4】Why are good reviews important to books?

A. Good reviews are excellent introduction to books.

B. Readers especially favour books with good reviews.

C. Good reviews can make readers feel relaxed and comfotable.

D. Good reviews can bring a large circulation of the books reviewed.

27、How much do consumers care about the carbon footprint of the products they buy? Would they care more if the goods were labeled with emissions（排放物） data? Does it matter at which stage in the lifecycle of a product the carbon is emitted? Research published in the International Journal of Environmental Policy and Decision Making offers a way to find out．

Study participants view a carbon footprint label as similar to labels that have appeared on some existing products．The label shows the carbon dioxide emissions connected with their production, transportation, usage and disposal（清理）, thus showing the buyer the likely effect on climate change of buying a particular product．

In the first group of studies, the research team proved that carbon emissions and a carbon emissions label would indeed play a role in consumer product decisions, although not as great a role as price．In a second set of studies, the team found that emissions connected with usage were most important to consumers followed by the transportation and disposal stages．The carbon footprint of the producing process was considered less important to consumers than the other stages in the product's lifecycle because it is outside the consumer's control．That is, the participants felt they were less responsible for carbon emitted during producing process．Consumers value recycling a product, but the researchers found that, overall, the consumers would prefer producers to offset（补偿） carbon emissions rather than having to address the problem directly themselves．

Consumers are increasingly concerned with climate change problems, and already carbon labeling is appearing on some products．"We find that participants not only take the carbon label into account when making product decisions, but they want detailed information on the label," the researchers explain．They suggest that companies should prepare for how carbon emissions labels might affect future consumer choice．

【1】Which of the following most affects consumer's choice?

A．Labels．

B．Price．

C．Packaging．

D．Carbon footprint．

【2】About the carbon dioxide emissions in the product's lifecycle, which stage do consumers care most?

A．Usage stage．

B．Transportation stage．

C．Disposal stage．

D．Producing stage．

【3】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "address"?

A．Look into．

B．Point out．

C．Deal with．

D．Run into．

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Companies should take carbon emissions more seriously．

B．All products have been labeled with carbon emissions data．

C．Producers will attach less importance to carbon emissions labels．

D．Products labeled with carbon emissions data will have poor sales．

28、Is your school good for the environment?

Being green wasn't easy for Kermit the Frog(a famous cartoon character)—but it is for a growing number of schools around the country.A "green" school is an environmentally friendly building that uses less energy by depending on earth's natural resources for heat,light,and power.Green schools have clean air,a lot of natural light,and renewable power sources.

New studies show that green schools are not only good for the environment,but good for you too!Kids in classrooms with a lot of daylight scored 25 percent higher on reading and math tests than students who studied in rooms with less natural light.Students in schools with more natural light took three to four fewer sick days than students exposed to artificial classroom lighting.The further study found that those students had less dental decay（龋齿）because they were exposed to more of the vitamin D produced by the sun.

The Willow School in N.J. is a school that was built as a green building in 2002.Parts of the building are made wholly from recycled materials.To help trap heat,for example,building workers filled the walls with material from old blue jeans instead of the traditional insulation（绝缘物）made of chemicals.Every classroom has skylights to allow most sunlight,and solar panels（太阳能电池板）line the south end of the building.It uses about 70 percent less energy than a non-green school.This helps the school cut down on high energy costs.

Kate Burke Walsh,head of the Willow School,says,"Sunlight has an impact—you're happier."The clean,natural surroundings help both students and teachers "handle stress and stay relaxed and focused…it's a very calming atmosphere."

【1】The question asked in the first paragraph is used to .

A. show the writer's curiosity about your school

B. care about the environment of your school

B. It makes full of natural resources.

C. No energy is wasted everywhere.

D. The buildings are painted green.

【3】What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. A student at a green school gets better grades.

B. A green school absorbs more sunlight.

C. How can students benefit from a green school.

D. How a green school is beneficial to the environment.

【4】What's the purpose of writing this passage?

A. To change people attitudes on green schools.

B. To introduce the advantages of green schools.

C. To explain why green schools are popular.

D. To persuade people to build green schools.

29、For the business traveler who’s all about efficiency: check in these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum trouble. When you’re for pressed time on a business trip, nothing can anger you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a quicker check-in process.

● Marriott Detroit Airport

Another choice for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in”. When you arrive, you get an warning that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.

● Hyatt Regency Minneapolis

I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk(自助终端) check-in works. The kiosk asks you to insert (插入) your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with an iPad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line.

● Radisson LaCrosse

The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a bar code by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the bar code to get your key without any other steps required. It’s super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well.

【1】Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?________

A．Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse.

B．Marriott Detroit Airport and Yotel New York.

C．Marriott Detroit Airport and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.

D．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson LaCrosse.

【2】Which hotel will send you a receipt by email?________

A．Yotel New York.

B．Marriott Detroit Airport.

C．Radisson LaCrosse.

D．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.

【3】What is the best title for the passage?________

A．Fast Ways To Check-in

B．Three Hotels With Easy Check-in

C．Comfortable Hotels At Your Service

D．Hotels For The Travelers

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Ant Bites

“Ow! Ow!” I shouted as I broke my jump rope rhythm: “Something, in my shoe is biting me.” I cried.

The first graders waiting to jump and the two rope turners circled around me on the dirt playground. My teacher, Miss Bell, heard me and hurried over.

“It’s still stinging me.” I cried as the circle of children opened for Miss Bell.

“Which foot is it?” she asked.

I stuck up my right foot as she bent down to inspect it. Just then, feeling a new sting, I yelped in pain.

“Here. Let’s take off your shoe.” instructed Miss Bell, squatting(蹲) down to get the shoe.

Then, I remembered the holes in my socks. Welfare socks didn’t last long. Holes in socks were a common thing for our family in the years following the Great Depression. Shoes got fresh paper inserted every Saturday to cover the holes in their soles. But socks with holes were just accepted. Socks with holes in the heels got pulled down so the hole wouldn’t show. Where there was a hole, there would soon be a blister. Every week as she washed our clothes, Mama would say, “Even if we’re poor and our clothes are worn out. We can still be clean.”

I began to cry from the pain in my foot, but I refused to let Miss Bell take off my shoe. I could not bear for her and the others to see the hole in my faded red sock.

“Come on, then. Let’s go inside to the office.”

A trail of first graders followed after us until Miss Bell told them to stay on the playground. I did my best to control my tears. Yet, each time the thing in my shoe stung me, I would let out a loud, “Oh, oh, oh!” Tears raced down my contorted(扭曲的) face.

Miss Womble, the fifth--grade teacher, came into the office. “Can I help? I know her. She lives next door to me.”

Miss Womble was a great neighbor. She had even played games with us on occasion. She put both hands on my shaking shoulders and looked into my distressed, red eyes.

注意: 1. 续写词数应为150 左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答;

“Must be sock-eating ants. Oh, yes, I had a bite from one of those ants” she said.

Miss Bell handed her the first aid kit.
