第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Every few years, two groups do a study of how many Americans wash their hands after using the toilet. These groups are the American Society for Microbiology and the American Cleaning Institute, formerly the Soap and Detergent Association.
There was good news in the latest study. Researchers found that eighty-five percent of adults washed their hands in public restrooms last month. That was the most yet since the studies began in nineteen ninety-six.
Researchers visited restrooms at a baseball park in Atlanta and a science museum and aquarium in Chicago. They also visited two train stations in New York City and a large farmers market in San Francisco. In all, they observed about six thousand adults.
The researchers found that seventy-seven percent of men and ninety-three percent of women washed their hands. That was up from sixty-six percent of men and eighty-eight percent of women in the last study three years ago.
The lowest rate of hand washing among men was at Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves baseball team. Only sixty-five percent of men washed their hands, compared to all but two percent of women.
Chicago and San Francisco had the most hand washers -- eighty-nine percent of adults. Atlanta followed at eighty-two percent. New York had the lowest rate, at seventy-nine percent of the adults observed at Grand Central Station and Penn Station.
The findings of the observational study conflicted with the findings of a separate telephone survey of about one thousand people. Ninety-six percent of them said they always wash their hands after using public restrooms. Almost nine out of ten also said they always wash after using the bathroom at home.
Hand washing can help prevent the spread of many different infections. To clean your hands well, wet them first and rub in soap for at least twenty seconds, including between the fingers and under the nails. Then rinse under running water. In a public restroom, if you dry your hands with a paper towel, you should also use the towel to shut off the water and open the door.
26. What is the good news in the latest study?
A. Almost all of the Americans wash their hands after using the toilet.
B. There are more people washing their hands in the toilet than before.
C. More than four-fifths of American adults wash their hands after using the restrooms.
D. There are more people washing their hands in America than in other places.
27.If there were 1000 women involved in the latest study at Turner Field, how many of them would wash their hands?
A. 20 B. 650 C. 350 D. 980
28. According to the latest study, _________ had the most hand washers.
A. Chicago B. Atlanta C. New York D. Washington
29. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The findings of the observational study were inconsistent with those of the telephone survey’s.
B. Two groups- The American Society and the American Cleaning Institute, do the survey.
C. The studies of how many Americans wash their hands after using the toilet began two decades ago.
D. About 90% of the Americans in the observational study washed their hands after using the toilets.
30. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Why we should wash hands. B. How we should wash hands.
C. When we should wash hands. D. Where we should wash hands.
B
The Internet is redrawing the media landscape and will be for decades to come, but traditional media will not be left out of the picture, argue two University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, journalism professors. Ed Mullins, chairman of the Journalism Department, and Jim Stovall, the founder of Dateline Alabama, the news website of the College of Communication and Information Sciences, agree that the future of the web is still a mystery, but argue that, in the near future, it will serve more as a helpmate to traditional media.
“Nobody knows where the web is taking us, but when it comes to journalism, old media will be dominant (most noticeable) players in the new media game.” Mullins believes. “A report goes that most Americans go to sites operated by old-line media when looking for news on the web.”
Just as national old media dominate the web at that level, local old media run mostly by newspapers and, to a lesser degree, by television stations dominate those markets. Is there a pattern here? Yes, says Mullins and Stovall. “At least in the first decade of the web, newspaper companies dominate web journalism,” Mullins explains. “Why? They specialize in news, and that gives them an advantage. What most readers go to websites for is news and e-mail, a form of person-to-person news, especially in the form of chatting.”
The reason for newspapers dominance in web journalism, Stovall points out, is that they put the biggest money in news. “The Birmingham News, for example, with about 175 positions, has more journalists on its payroll than all of the state’s broadcast, cable, and web.”
31．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Internet won’t get rid of print media B．Internet challenges traditional media
C．Looking national local news on the web D．Journalism should be dominated by web
32．What is the author’s attitude towards the future of traditional media?
A．Doubtful B．Worried C．Concerned D．Optimistic
33．Traditional media dominate web journalism because ________.
A．news and advertising are their only business
B．they hire more journalists to work for them
C．web companies dare not compete with them
D．they enjoy special advantages in journalism
34．What role does the Internet play in journalism according to Paragraph 1 ?
A．It will someday dominate the media market.
B．It is likely to threaten the future of print media.
C．It will become a helpful partner of print media.
D．It will revolutionize traditional journalism.
35．The following prove that old media still dominate web journalism except _________.
A．people prefer traditional media when looking for news
B．old media have the most important position in local markets
C．newspaper companies have more control in web journalism
D．few people go to websites to get national and local news
C
Many parents try hard to protect their kids from TV and Internet advertising. But how can you protect a child from a giant fast-food ad painted on her school locker? Or a toy on the side of his school bus?
As school budgets get smaller, a growing number of schools around the country are selling, or selling, advertising space on lockers, buses, gyms or cafeterias. It is an easy way for schools to make money. And ads may provide a relief for parents exhausted by running?fundraiser after fundraiser?or making?cash donations?to prop up schools.
While parents can always turn off the tube or the laptop, however, they can’t block out advertising allowed into a school. This isn’t the first time the issue has come up. For example, a news program for teens has been criticized for including ads in its 12-minute classroom broadcasts. And parents’ groups successfully fought a plan by a company called?Bus Radio?to put music and ads into school buses.
But now things are different. Just last month, Los Angeles approved a plan to allow companies to advertise in the district’s schools. Officials say the plan could provide as much as $18 million for the schools.
In?St. Francis, Minn., schools recently agreed to cover 10% to 15% of their lockers with ads. Time says. Edward Saxton, a teacher in the school, says, “So far, parents are accepting this as a way to bring in needed money. The money pays for programs like arts, sports and music. Parents don’t like to see programs getting cut. Neither do I. Besides, schools are thinking about the effects on kids all the time.”
However, Susan Linn, an educational expert, says, “Kids have already seen enough ads on TV, in magazines and the products they use daily. School is no place for advertisements at all.”
Readers, what about you? Would you rather help run yet another school fundraiser, or expose your child to ads on lockers and buses? Is keeping ads out of schools worth raising taxes, or increasing your own cash support through donations?
36. Schools allow ads into schools to ________.
A. reduce parents’ burden B. solve their financial problems
C. offer kids a wide choice of goods D. improve their students’ living conditions
37. Edward Saxton holds the view that __________.
A. schools choose ads carefully B. ads in schools shouldn’t be too many
C. schools should be a place free from ads D. in-school ads do no harm to young kids
38. How do parents feel about in-school advertising according to Edward Saxton?
A. It is bad for kids’ health. B. It should be encouraged.
C. It is interesting. D. It is acceptable.
39. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The bad effect of ads on kids. B. Efforts to stop in-school ads
C. whether ads should be allowed in schools
D. Whether parents should run fundraisers for schools.
40. Who are the intended readers of the passage?
A. Parents B. Teachers. C. Educators D. Businessmen
D
The UN Environment Program says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals．
Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas．Birds may fly from one part of the world to another，perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way．Whales and turtles cover vast areas of ocean．The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm．“Obviously these animals have developed their traveling patterns over thousands of years，but climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough，”said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth．
Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles．Scientists have found that at higher temperatures，turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones．In parts of Malaysia， turtle birthing sites are producing only females，the report says It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer．
With birds，the main problem is climate related damage to important areas at either end of the travels of at resting places along the way．About one—fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate related changes including rising sea levels，land loss and more violent storms，the report concludes．
Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include：
·the North Atlantic Right Whale，whose main food(tiny shrimp)is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and
·the White Nose Dolphin，which is out—competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters
The report is not all bad news．Even with major climatic changes．protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover．‘‘We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level．The clock is running．”said Dr． Hepworth．And some animals ale already adapting，with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviors，finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat．
41．What is the main topic of the text?
A．The effect of climate change on migrating animals．
B．How animals are adapting to changes in temperature．
C The actions required to save migrating animals
D The need for government policies to prevent global warming．
42 By saying“the clock is running”in the last paragraph．Dr．Hepworth means that_____.
A. it may be too late to save some animals
B. it is time to start protecting the animals
C there is not much time to solve the problem
D. it takes time to complete the actions
43．According to the report，how will global warming affect turtles in the future?
A. They will only produce female babies．
B. Their food supply will gradually disappear．
C. Some will suffer from higher rates of cancer
D. They will be in greater danger because of more violent storms．
44 Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures?
A. More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds．
B. 20 percent of all likely to die out because of land loss．
C. Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly．
D. Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins．
45．What can be inferred about turtles from the text?
A. They are the only animals besides humans that suffer from cancer．
B. They have traditionally lived longer than other ocean based animals．
C. Those born nearer a hotter area are more likely to be female．
D. Most kinds of turtles are likely to die out within 50 years．

To accomplish your task at hand, a work plan is important in planning and management. The work plan structures your task with an outline of what needs to be completed. Where more than one person is involved in the task, a work plan provides transparency to each member on the team about what is being done and why.
A work plan is important in identifying points for communication. For example, if one of the tasks involved is the decision-making procedure on the purchase of supplies, an office worker may need to hear the points in the work plan and she may want to provide input to the administrative process. A work plan provides details on opportunities for feedback.
Effective work plans are current. You can determine where your project stands by taking an account of all the work done to date, its progress and scheduling of tasks. Regular communication with the team about the work plan's schedule will help to keep you on track or revise your schedule for more realistic time lines or to implement overtime if the schedule cannot be changed. Either way the work plan will help get the job done.

读写任务：
The passage tells us that a work plan is very important, especially for those who work in a team, helping them to keep on track and get the job done.
As for me, I think it necessary to make a relatively detailed and appropriate study plan to improve our study efficiency, because making plans will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly, and make full preparations in advance for unexpected cases.
I’ve made some plans in my studies. I found that I could finish my task and homework efficiently every day according to my study plans. I also avoided too much time playing computer games or surfing the internet.
To carry out our plan well, we should first make a plan that can be reached after we try our best, or it will be in vain. Second, we must stick to our plan except that something more important happens.
