B Recently the sewer line ( 污水管道 ) under our house didn ’ t work. My first response was to call a repairman. made the call, expecting the man at the other end of the line to complain about such an awful job. Instead, he simply asked, “The address? ” An hour later Steve arrived in his truck. He looked exactly as I had imagined he might: broad and bearlike, in well-worn clothing. “ Can you fix it? ” I asked with a mixture of doubt and hope. Steve looked at me as if responding to my lack of faith. With a cheerful shrug that suggested my crisis was all in a day ’ s work for him, he said, “Sure. ” After a short while, Steve told me that he had to get a tool and tear up the street to the main sewer line. He would first have to get permission from the town. I registered appropriate panic. “How long will all this take? ”Again, a shrug. “ I should have it done by evening. ” I did not want to watch the digging of my property unfold and went into town to visit some fiends. I felt somewhat guilty upon driving off in my clean vehicle, leaving Steve to such a disagreeable task. Finally, when I went home, a sweeter sight I never saw; a period of newly paved street and all was tidy and relatively dry. I need to say, in my own defense, that I am not a weak father of two children. I ’ve traveled all over the world, served in the United States Navy and earned a PhD. But the broken sewer line was my limit. Then I thought about Steve. Big, rough, and how people might judge him, if not for his appearance then for his work.

Development of Music Electronic Device D Recycling is essential in today ’s world. The most important reason for this is that human progress and industry have made it possible for people to have lots of things, and when people have many material possessions, they are bound to throw some of them away. This creates a lot of garbage which in turn destroys the environment. Recycling is a way for us to keep the world clean as items are broken down and used again, preventing the littering of the environment. Instead of throwing all your garbage into the trash can, you should separate paper, metal, glass, and plastic into different containers. Compost should also be recycled as this is excellent food for farm animals and also makes for great fertilizer( 肥料 ). You should try to buy products that have been recycled. You can see if an item has been made from recycled materials by its label; if it ’s been recycled, it will say so. Also, instead of always buying new clothes, you can arrange to have a clothing swap with your friends. You bring clothes you don ’t want and pick items you want from what other people have brought. Not only does this save the environment, but it also saves your pocketbook. Remember, what is one person ’ s junk can be someone else ’s treasure! The saying can be applied to all sorts of things: books, CDS, furniture, etc. Also, try shopping at second-hand stores, because they often have lots of items still in good shape for you to choose. Many countries have made it easy for people to recycle, as alongside the normal garbage trucks, special garbage trucks come and pick up recyclables. However, in many countries around the world the responsibility is left up to the individual to recycle. Therefore, it must be made a priority (优先考虑的事 ) in society so we can continue to make our environment livable. 32. Why is more waste being made in today ’ s world? A. People dislike the updated items. B. People own abundant belongings. C. People intend to live a simple life. D. People have made great progress in industry. 33. What does the underlined word “ this ”in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Exchanging clothes with friends. B. Shopping at second-hand stores. C. Throwing away old clothes. D. Picking up new items. 34. To make the environment enjoyable, we should . A. always buy new clothes B. choose recyclable products C. go shopping at chain stores D. arrange more garbage trucks 35. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Governments do nothing in recycling. B. Normal vehicles can pick up recyclables. C. The individual seldom cares about recycling. D. Everyone should feel socially responsible for rcling. 第二节 (共 5 小题 ; 每小题 2 分，满分 10 分 ) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years, but not everything that is said about them is good. Mobiles are frequently blamed for a number of things, from thumb injuries and headaches to house fires. 36 The theory is that the bees navigation ( 导航 )systems are damaged by the radiation that is given off by mobile phones. Bees have a built-in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hive. But recently, thousands of bees have failed to find their way home. 37 The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more complicated than it at first seems. The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated ( 授粉 )by them. 38 Many beekeepers in America and Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees. Jim Piper, a London beekeeper, was recently asked how the problem was affecting him. “My business has been ruined by this, ”he explained, “twenty-nine of my forty hives are now empty. ” 39 However. the fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers is real. And we can ’ t manage without them. Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared, man would only live for four more years! 40 If the mobile phone theory is correct, we need to do something about it immediately — before it ’s too late. A. Bees are losing their way. B. Nobody has proved the theory is true. C. More evidence is provided to support the theory. D. It is believed they are dying far from their hives. E. Without bees, the crops can ’t continue to grow. F. The situation needs to be evaluated by the world ’ s best scientists. G. One theory even blames mobile phones for the disappearance of bees. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节 (共 20 小题 ; 每小题 1. 5 分，满分 30 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A 、B、 C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 This past summer I went on a journey to Canada ’s Arctic with Students On Ice.
