The day before Thanksgiving my dad called a family meeting. He said we needed to practice being 2 . “We are going to 3 at a homeless shelter (收容所) on Thanksgiving Day.” I couldn’t believe this was happening. 4 couldn’t we cook our own Thanksgiving dinner?

Now I’ve decided to 1 it with all of you. Before that Christmas, I was running around like a crazy person to get 2 ready. One day I took my three little kids to Walmart (沃尔玛) to buy the last things for the next day. I was terribly 3 and kept thinking to myself, “What is the true 4 of Christmas?” When I finished 5 and was walking towards the exit, I noticed an old man sitting on the bench (长凳) 6 an envelope in his hand. He handed something to a young, well-dressed man and said, “Merry Christmas!” It was a $20 bill. The young man got a(n) 7 and asked, “Are you 8 ?” “Yes, Merry Christmas,” he replied. So the young man got the money and left 9 . “What’s he doing?” I was more confused (困惑的) 10 I watched him giving more bills to some other shoppers. Just then he 11 up and walked over to me. Then he pulled a $50 bill out of his envelope and handed it to me, saying “Merry Christmas!” My face turned red and I said, “Sir, I 12 need 50 dollars.” “Well then,” he smiled and said, “find someone who does. Merry Christmas.” And he left smiling. What a 13 man he was and how many people he helped out that day! All of a sudden, for the 14 time I felt the real Christmas spirit.

Sleeping in a tent or cooking on a campfire isn’t my idea of a fun holiday, but camping is very popular in 2 and I want to know why. So this week, I spoke to a travel-lover, Kirsty Baxter, to 3 more. Why do people like camping? “There are lots of reasons for this, It’s interesting. It’s cheap and it’s 4 . It’s a great way to meet new people and spend lots of time outside. I go camping about five or six times a year. I love 5 the noise and the stress of the city. There’s no TV or the Internet so you just listen to the birds, look at the sky or talk to other people. For me, the best thing about camping is being outdoors in beautiful and 6 places.” Is there anything you don’t 7 about camping? “Sometimes there aren’t any showers or any hot water outside. 8 , you need to take lots of stuff (东西) with you-a tent, a sleeping bag, clothes, things for cooking, so your bag is usually heavy. And it’s 9 in the middle of the night.

Let’s get a move on,” said Paula’s mom. Paula asked her parents, “Isn’t Labor Day a holiday?” “Yes, Paula. It is,” 6 her dad. “But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you realize why Labor Day was made.” At first, Paula wasn’t happy with her parents’ 7 for the holiday.

Kurt Muller and his 1 Rita have spent eleven years making meals for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first began to do that in a hot summer when most Germans were away and enjoyed themselves on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at 2 , made sandwiches and some delicious food by themselves, set up a table in the street and gave the 3 to the homeless. The Mullers soon realized that food wasn’t enough. Most of the homeless people are lonely, they have no friends or relatives. “ 4 these people also need is warmth and caring,” says Rita. The Mullers gave their phone number to the street people 5 thinking and told them to phone anytime. Rita made sure there was 6 at home to answer the phone and their home was always open to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street. The couple were soon 7 all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to ask for donations. Today, over thirty companies donate food and other goods and volunteers 8 to give them away to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a backpack producer donates new backpacks. Kurt and Rita put their love to good use by helping homeless people in Berlin, they didn’t receive any payment for their hard work. “We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t expect money for helping their children.

The learner’s grandfather is nearly 80 years old, and his mother is ill in bed. So his father, a middle-aged farmer, is the main 3 of the poor family.

So he 7 his neighbors together and showed them how to fish. Everybody was very happy, as they could 8 the fish they themselves caught. At present, there are still a lot of 9 people throughout the world. But it’s not good if we give only food to them. 10 , we should give them a chance to learn new skills.

I often worried what I would do 5 I fell ill with no one around. So I decided to move here. With my friends, I don’t feel lonely. So life is 6 here.” Life is better in the nursing home. That might be true, but it’s also because there is no better 7 . Almost 8 of grown-up children live away from their parents, leaving many empty nesters (空巢老人).

Now scientists have shown that the 1 from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed to their food. Cows have one special 2 , which allows them to break down grass and other foods that humans can’t digest (消化). 3 the process (过程) of breaking down the grass also produces lots of methane (甲烷). Methane is the world’s second 4 greenhouse gas. The methane comes out of a cow’s body mainly when it burps (打嗝). The researchers studied 21 cows 5 a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from the inside of a special hood (罩), which allowed the scientists to measure (测量) the methane that the cows were 6 . They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food. The results were very good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% 7 methane. But there are still some big 8 with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in fields, where they eat the grass. That means there’s no chance to feed 9 seaweed every day. 10 , it’s very good news that something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution. 1．A．products B．pollution C．energy D．milk 2．A．skin B．stomach C．nose D．eye 3．A．Until B．If C．But D．So 4．A．best B．worst C．hardest D．softest 5．A．to B．by C．with D．on 6．A．giving off B．turning off C．putting off D．taking off 7．A．less B．more C．better D．fewer 8．A．answers B．reasons C．courses D．problems 9．A．it B．them C．us D．you 10．A．Never B．Even C．Still D．Especially 【答案】 1．B 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．D 6．A 7．A 8．D 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文讲述了科学家发现牛消化草时排放甲烷（温室气体），并在饲料中添加少量海藻能显著减少这种排放。尽管这一方法面临海藻供应不足和牛在野外放牧无法天天喂海藻的问题，但它仍然提供了一种减少污染的新思路。 1．句意：现在，科学家们已经证明，通过在牛的食物中添加一点海藻，可以减少牛的污染。 products产品；pollution污染；energy能源；milk牛奶。根据下文“the process (过程) of breaking down the grass also produces lots of methane (甲烷)”可知，奶牛的胃在分解草的过程中会产生大量的甲烷，这会造成污染，故选B。 2．句意：牛有一个特殊的胃，可以让它们分解人类无法消化的草和其他食物。 skin皮肤；stomach胃；nose鼻子；eye眼睛。根据“which allows them to break down grass and other foods that humans can’t digest (消化)”可知，消化食物的是胃部，故选B。 3．句意：但是分解草的过程也会产生大量的甲烷。 Until直到；If如果；But但是；So因此。“the process (过程) of breaking down the grass also produces lots of methane”与前文是转折关系，故选C。 4．句意：甲烷是世界上第二大温室气体。 best最好的；worst最差的；hardest最努力的；softest最柔软的。根据“Methane is the world’s second…greenhouse gas.”及常识可知，是第二大有害的温室气体，故选B。 5．句意：研究人员对一个农场的21头奶牛进行了大约5个月的研究。 to到；by通过；with带有；on在上面。on a farm“在农场上”，固定搭配，故选D。 6．句意：他们教奶牛从一个特殊的罩里获取食物，这样科学家就可以测量奶牛释放的甲烷。 giving off发出，释放；turning off关闭；putting off推迟；taking off脱下。根据“the methane that the cows were”可知，奶牛释放出的甲烷，故选A。 7．句意：在某些情况下，奶牛产生的甲烷减少了82%。 less较少；more更多；better更好；fewer更少。根据“The results were very good.”可知，结果是好的，所以是让甲烷更少了，methane是不可数名词，故选A。 8．句意：但是，用海藻喂牛的想法仍然存在一些大问题。 answers回答；reasons理由；courses课程；problems问题。根据“A bigger problem is that for most of their lives”可知，此处介绍存在的问题，故选D。 9．句意：这意味着没有机会每天喂它们海藻。 it它；them它们；us我们；you你/你们。此空指代前文提到的cows，用them指代，故选B。 10．句意：不过，像给奶牛喂海藻这样简单的事情可以帮助减少一些污染，这是一个非常好的消息。 Never从不；Even甚至；Still尽管那样，仍然；Especially尤其。根据前文介绍可知，尽管存在一些大问题，但能减少一些污染仍然是一个好消息，故选C。 Passage 6 Growing up in a village in Sichuan, 26-year-old Zheng Huan has a 1 love for nature. “Sunshine, fresh air, water, all kinds of plants and animals...They are the most valuable things on our planet.
