26、As rules, laws are people’s rights and responsibilities toward society. Laws are agreed on by society and made official by governments.

Some persons look on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance. Laws seem to limit people’s freedom to do many things they would like to do. Though laws may prevent us from doing things we wish to do at the moment, laws make everyone’s life safer and more pleasant. Without laws we could not hold on to our property; we could not go to bed at night expecting to wake up in the morning and find that we had not been robbed; no stores in which we buy food, clothes, and other necessities could stay open and sell to us. Our banks would not be safe places to keep our money.

Social life would be impossible without laws to control the way people treat one another. It is not the laws that should be feared but the trouble that comes to everyone when laws are broken. Once this is understood, a citizen will not fear or hate the law. Understanding the need for good laws and the evil results of breaking laws is the first requirement of good citizenship and government.

Philosophers once believed that in prehistoric time people lived without laws in a “state of nature”. People were free to do as they pleased unless someone stronger stopped them by force. As a result, life became so dangerous and unsafe that leaders had to create laws to protect life and property.

This is no longer believed to be true. Scholars now think that as soon as people began living in small groups, they worked out rules for getting along with one another. In time everyone accepted and supported the rules. Manners, customs and beliefs controlled the living habits and behavior of the group. Such rules and habits of life are called folkways.

Folkways are probably the real meaning of human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education. As life became more complex, folkways became more complete guides to living. After thousands of years, some of the important folkways were put into writing as the earlier laws. And as life grew more and more complicated with faster transportation and the rise of modern industry and big cities, more human acts and interests had to be ruled by law. This led to a great increase in the number of laws.

But we know that unless laws are enforced, they cannot protect us. Poorly enforced laws invite crime and violence. So we agree that the best protection against crime is planned social change and law reform -- to reduce the causes of crime and to encourage people to obey the laws. Such a solution would join a sound system of law enforcement with forces working to prevent crime. To attain this goal, all citizens must understand the need for good laws and for their enforcement.

【1】Some persons look on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance, because_____.

A. they can’t do whatever they want to

B. they feel it unnecessary to have laws

C. laws only protect those who worked out them

D. laws and rules are too complicated to understand

【2】Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?

A.Without laws we may fail to hold on to our property

B. In prehistoric time people lived happily without laws in a “state of nature”.

C. Human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education, are believed to originate from Folkways.

D. Good citizens and government should be aware of the need for good laws and the evil results of breaking laws

【3】A sound system of law enforcement is necessary because_____.

A. some citizens fear or hate the law.

B. poorly enforced laws cause crime and violence.

C. we need someone stronger to stop crime by force.

D. the evil results of breaking laws are getting fewer and fewer .

【4】 What’s the best title of this passage?

A. The Origin of Laws B. Enforcement of Laws

C. Leaders and Laws   D. Laws and rules.

27、Exercising Safely

Exercise is a key part of staying healthy, but figuring out how to exercise safely can be tough. 【1】.

【2】. It’s especially important to consult a doctor if you have a history of heart, bone, muscle, joint, or other medical conditions. Ask your doctor for advice on how to safely start exercising and to recommend exercises that benefit your specific condition.

Drink lots of water before, during, and after exercising. Try to drink about 2 cups (470 ml) of water before you exercise, and 1 cup (240 ml) every 15 to 20 minutes during your workout. Your body will need extra water to help your muscles work and to replace the fluids lost as you sweat.

【3】. However, if you’re trying to lose weight, limit your consumption of sports drinks, as they contain lots of sugar and can add extra calories to your diet.

Choose clothes that suit your activity. In general, wear clothes that won’t restrict your movement or blood flow. 【4】. Wear short sleeves and light, breathable fabrics in hot temperatures, and wear layers if it’s cold.

Stop exercising if you experience pain. 【5】. If you feel any soreness or sharp pain, stop the activity. Do your best to rest the affected area until the pain starts to subside. If you believe you’ve injured yourself, you might be able to treat it at home. However, seek medical attention if you hear a pop, experience severe pain, have uncontrolled bleeding, can’t move or bear weight on a joint.

A．“No pain, no gain” is not the advice to follow

B．Also, make sure your clothes suit the weather

C．Check with your doctor before starting an exercise routine

D．Whenever you work out, always listen to your body’s limits

E．Here are some tips to help you stay safe while working out

F．Sports drinks can also help you replace salts and minerals lost in sweat

G．Loser clothes are better for strength training, brisk walking, and sports such as basketball or soccer

28、The essence (本质) of fast fashion is to make clothes inexpensively and quickly, to get new trends and styles into stores and online as soon as possible, and it comes at a high social and environmental cost. Keeping production costs low means they can make their clothes cheap, using cheap labour in unsafe working conditions, and in countries with bad environmental regulations.

Throw-away culture is deeply rooted in our society; three in five of our clothing pieces are thrown out within a year. Fast fashion brands keep the consumers hungry and feeling like they need more by attracting them with newness and convincing the consumers that they need what they’re selling. This only results in increasing textile waste as people no longer want but throw it away.

Criticisms of the fast fashion industry include its negative environmental impact: water pollution, the use of toxic (有毒的) chemicals and increasing levels of textile waste. Textile dyeing is the second largest polluter of clean water globally, after agriculture. Fast fashion companies rely on their products being made cheaply and quickly, so they avoid talking when it comes to being aware of their impact on the environment. Greenpeace’s recent Detox Campaign showed that many brands use toxic and dangerous chemicals in their supply chains, and many of the chemicals are either banned or strictly controlled in lots of countries.

In conclusion, the fast fashion industry has a bad effect on our environment through fast fashion brands’ ecological practices and only continues to make the problem last for a long time in the future through extreme consumerist culture. In order for change to happen, the common people need to open their eyes and take measures to prevent the fast fashion from growing.

【1】What’s one of the characteristics of fast fashion?

A．Causing a lot of anxiety.

B．Making people buy old clothes.

C．Selling most clothes through stores.

D．Producing clothes quickly.

【2】Why are fast fashion clothes cheap?

A．They are mainly sold online.

B．They are made in unsafe countries.

C．They are made by cheap labour.

D．They save the cost of advertising.

【3】How does the society think of throwing away clothes according to the author?

A．Natural.

B．Surprising.

C．Absurd.

D．Puzzling.

【4】What’s the way to change fast fashion mentioned in the text?

A．Changing fast fashion brands’ working conditions.

B．Changing clothes stores’ sales model.

C．Introducing stricter laws for factories.

D．Raising public awareness of preventing fast fashion.

29、Edible(可食用的) cities are becoming increasingly popular around the world. In the city of Andernach, Germany, anyone who lives or happens to be in the town of 30,000 people is encouraged to pick and take whatever they want from the fruiting trees and bushes in the town center. The town, which sits in the Rhine River Valley, is among the growing number of edible cities across the globe. Since the start of the program in 2010, there is more than enough produce to go around every year regardless of whether someone grabs a single pear or a bag full of potatoes.

“People here are very proud when talking to others about our edible city,” shared Bettina Schneider, city team coordinator(协调员) for the Edible Cities Network in Andernach. “The land that was changed into fruiting gardens and orchards(果园) in Andernach was previously overgrown. But today the town is covered with peach, almond and pear trees.”

Andernach’s public gardens and orchards have also inspired other cities in Germany and throughout the European Union to follow suit. Today, the Edible Cities Network—a group of about 150 cities worldwide with fruit trees and vegetable gardens in public places for anyone to access free of charge—is funded by the European Commission.

“Public green natural spaces in cities are incredibly valuable, and even more so as temperatures rise and cities become more crowded,” said Ina sāumel, a principal investigator for the Edible Cities Network. She explained that Edible Cities Network’s goal is to encourage people to get involved in their urban parks instead of only thinking of them as passive places.

Many cities in the United States have also started similar projects. There are public lands from Seattle to North Carolina where people are welcome to pick and take from fruiting trees and bushes.

【1】What can people do in an edible city?

A．Grow fruit trees and potatoes anywhere.

B．Pick agricultural products on public land.

C．Go to any restaurant to enjoy food for free.

D．Make a fortune by selling apples and peaches.

【2】What is Andernach residents’ attitude toward their edible city?

A．Favorable.

B．Intolerant.

C．Doubtful.

D．Unclear.

【3】What is the goal of the Edible Cities Network?

A．To enable people to access fresh food.

B．To make the cities cleaner and nicer.

C．To stop people from living a busy life.

D．To involve people in their urban parks.

【4】What is most likely to be discussed following the last paragraph?

A．Some edible cities in America.

B．Predictions about edible cities.

C．Evaluations about edible cities.

D．People’s dependence on edible cities.

For example, America’s most popular Chinese dish is General Tso’s chicken, which 【3】of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce, flavoured with hot red 【4】. This is probably not an authentic Chinese 【5】, however, so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese.

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.

It was a beautiful sunny day, and Mary and I were playing in her new basement because it was so hot outside. The two of us were best friends, so we naturally did what best friends do-we did everything together. We went camping together, trusted each at her and always stuck up for each other.

But that day, something changed. I'll never forget the look on Mary's face when she knocked over her mother's favorite vase that was on the table. The flowers and vase crashed to the floor, and the vase cracked into tons of tiny little pieces. I looked at Mary and said, “There's no way to fix this!”

Mary burst into tears. “What am I going to do? What am I going to say?” She looked at me while she wiped her tears and asked, “Can you say that you did it?”

I was shocked. I didn't know what to do or say, and I started to pace back and forth. “Okay, I'll do it.” I said.

That very second, her mother came downstairs to ask about the loud noise she had just heard. Mary said, “Mom, we were sitting on the couch, and Michelle put her feet on the table and knocked on the vase.”

Her mother looked at me and shook her head. “I don't know how many times I have to tell you girls, you don't put your feet on the table.”

I apologized to Mary's mother and told her I would buy her a new vase. She said not to worry, but us be more careful. I felt so bad. I knew that I had kept Mary out of trouble, but I also felt that it wasn't right. I didn't go over to Mary's for a few days, and she didn't come to my house, either. I was busy cleaning and doing extra chore (杂活)

Finally I earned enough money and set out to buy Mary's mother a new vase.
