B 5 Facebook was running my life. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo,and five minutes later my son asked me how many "likes"it had got.His question was a wake-up call. "Likes"are signs of acceptance and approval.I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example. Before absorbed in Facebook,I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines.I checked in with friends through texts,emails and phone calls.

William Chung is a marine biologist at the University of British Columbia in Canada.He co-wrote the study,and told the Associated Press,"There are already changes that have been noticed. Warming temperatures are the biggest problem.But climate change also produces oceans that are more acidic and have less oxygen,which can also harm sea life. Much of the world depends on the oceans for food and work,the scientists say.University of Victoria biology professor Julia Baum was not part of the study,but she said the findings made sense. She noted that the possible influence of the predicted losses of animal life was huge."Climate change may cause serious new problems with ocean resource (use and food safety as the human population continues to grow,"said Baum.Marine biologist Boris Worm,who helped run the study,added that those marine animals that we used directly and cared about most deeply,were predicted to be most affected. Former computer-based studies looked at only part of the picture or used only one model.The latest study used six different computer models to give the best picture look,William Cheungn said. 61.Which of the following words can be used to describe the study? A.Well-known.B.Experimental.C.All-sided.D.Scientific. 62.From the findings,we can know that A.biologists have noticed a great change in the air B.the speed of worldwide greenhouse gas production is slowing C.the warmer the world's oceans are,the lower their biomass is D.the world's oceans will lose most of their creatures in 100 years 63.Professor Julia Baum A.is a co-author of the study B.thought the study was meaningful > C.paid more attention to seafood safety D.failed to realize the importance of climate change 64.What can we infer from William Chcung's words? A.The findings work as a call for action. B.More fish that we usually eat will die in the future. C.The latest study provided better picture than ever. D.The new study is the first one to be carried out on computers. 65.The passage mainly tells us A.ocean warming may greatly reduce sea life B.how hard marine biologists carry out the study C.the pollution of worldwide oceans is serious now D.how people's lives affect the world's oceans D If I could give today's young people three wishes,they would be:More hugs.More time outside in nature.More belief in their own power to change the world.While most people understand the importance of the first two wishes,the third one leaves some folks wondering why young people's belief in their own power is so essential. Let's start with the idea that all of us--especially young people--need heroes.We need them to be our guides on the difficult trail()we call life and to show us just how far we can go.And we need heroes today more than ever.Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero.And the difference:is vital.A celebrity is all about fame( )--temporary,superficial fame,usually for qualities that are easy to see:a pretty face,a great dance move.A hero,by contrast,is about character--qualities under the surface that aren't visible until they take action. Heroes are all around us.They truly hold our world together,through their unselfish devotion to helping others,teaching children,and protecting the environment.They don't want fame,or glory; they just want to help.In so many ways,these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail Yet,young people hear a lot more about celebrities than about heroes in the media.The hidden message they get from all this is that their self-worth comes from what they buy--which shoes,which cell phone--not who they are down inside.What gets lost in this?Young people's sense of their own potential for heroic qualitics--their own power to make a positive difference in the world.Truth is, there is a potential hero,a future difference maker,in every young person.Each of them,from whatever background,is a positive force who can do something.All it takes for that to be true is belief. How do we help young people belicve in their own power?The best way is simply to share examples,of other young people who have made a difference. Ryan,age 11,has worked tirelessly to raise money to provide clean drinking water to African villages.When he first heard about the plight()of African children who died from impure water, Ryan was only six years old.In the next five years,he raised over $500,000--enough to build over 70 water wells. Barbara,age 17,grew up on a farm in Texas.When she realized that local farmers were pouring their used motor oil into rivers,causing pollution,she organized the creation of a recycling center for crude(未加提炼的)oil.Her project has-grown to includel8 recycling centers in Texas. The list could continue.These are but a few examples of young people who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great 66.What is the author's purpose in writing Paragraph 2? A.To give examples of celebrities and heroes around us. B.To discuss the differences between celebrities and heroes. C.To provide definitions of the words"celebrity"and "hero" D.To explain the details about being celebrities and heroes. 67.What could be inferred from Paragraph 3? A.Heroes make the world go round. B.Heroes must believe in themselves. C.Heroes focus on social welfare programs. D.Heroes promote cooperation between people. 68.What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A.Heroes and celebrities are both valued today B.Society doesn't support the development of heroes. C.The media turn ordinary celebrities into real heroes. D.Young people don't have the belief in their own strength. 69.How does the author advance his view that young people have the potential to be a hero? A.By defining the qualities that make a young person a hero B.By contrasting the achievements made by different young people. C.By giving examples of young people who show the qualities of a hero. D.By providing examples of qualities that have made young people famous. 70.What is the main idea of the passage? A.More heroes are needed in the world. B.Celebrities are reported too much in the media C.Adults should become role models for young people D.Young people should believe in their ability to make a difference. 五、阅读表达（共10分，每题2分) I used to be a selfish girl and I only thought of myself.I did not care about helping others,but only about my look,clothes,money and grades. One day,I was suddenly influenced by my neighbor,who is now in college,and ended up 9 wanting to volunteer for others.He had so much fun with volunteering and told me that he felt extremely good after helping others.I hoped to get the same results,for I felt worthless everywhere then.I viewed almost cvcrything in a negative way,and I figured I had to expericnce something that would make me appreciate things that I had. I volunteered at the nursing home for a year where my neighbor volunteered.I brought snacks, coffee and games for the elderly patients,talked to them while sharing snacks,and played games like chess and checkers with them.Because they were Koreans,they often had trouble communicating with the helpers who were hired to help them.I sometimes translated things for them and offered to be their translator whenever they needed help. By volunteering at the nursing home,I changed a lot.I realized how lucky I am to speak both Korean and English and that I should help other people learn Korean as well.I had learned many life lessons through volunteering.By helping others,I felt needed in society.Not only did it boost my confidence,but it also allowed others to benefit from it. Volunteering is a great opportunity to improve oneself,others,and the whole society.So if you ever have the chance,volunteer!It's something you won't regret! 71.What kind of person was the author before volunteering?no more than 5 words) 72.Why did the author want to volunteer one day?(no more than 10 words) 73.What did the author do when the elderly patients had difficulty in communicating with the workers?no more than 10 words) 74.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4mean?no more than 3 words) 75.What do you think of volunteering after reading the text?no more than 20 words) 六、书面表达（共25分） 76.学校组织学生到社区进行志愿服务，如帮助老人、清理环境等。请你以校英文报记者的身 份，写一篇报道（词数I00词左右，题目已给)，内容包括： 1活动时间、地点和参与人员： 2志愿者们的具体服务内容： 3.活动对学生的教育意义和社会影响。 Students Shine in Community Service 10
