B Baggy has become the first dog in the UK-and potentially the world-to join the fight against air pollution by recording pollutant levels near the ground. Baggy wears a pollution monitor on her collar so she can take data measurements close to the ground.Her monitor has shown that air pollution levels are higher closer to ground level,which has helped highlight concerns that babies and young kids may be at higher risk of developing lung problems Conventional air pollution monitors are normally fixed on lampposts at about nine feet in the air. However,,since Baggy stands at about the same height as a child in a pushchair（婴儿车)，she frequently records pollution levels which are much higher than the data gathered by the Environment Agency. The doggy data research was the idea of Baggy's 13-year-old owner Tom Hunt and his dad Matt. The English youngster noticed that pollution levels are around two-thirds higher close to the ground than they are in the air at the height where they are recorded by the agency.Tom has since reported the shocking findings to the government in an attempt to emphasise that babies are at higher risk of developing asthma(哮喘)， Matt Hunt said he was"very proud"of his son because"when the boy gets an idea,he keeps his head down and gets on with it,and he really does want to do some good and stop young kids from getting asthma.” "Tom built up a passion for environmental protection at a very early age,"Matt added."He became very interested in gadgets ()About one year ago,he got this new piece of tech which is like a test tube.One Sunday afternoon,we went out to do some monitoring,and he said,'why don't we put it on Baggy's collar and let her monitor the pollution?So we did it." Tom said,"Most of the time,Baggy is just like any other dog.But for the rest of the time she is a super dog,and we are all really proud of her. 24.With a monitor on her collar,Baggy can A.record pollutant levels B.take pollutant readings C.process collected data D.reduce air pollution 25.What can we learn from the Baggy data? A.High places are free of air pollution B.Higher pushchairs are more risky for kids. C.Air is more polluted closer to the ground. D.Conventional monitors are more reliable 26.What is Tom's purpose of doing the research? 3 A.To find out pollution sources. B.To warn of a health risk C.To test his new monitor. D.To prove Baggy's abilities. 27.According to the passage,which word can best describe Tom Hunt? A.Modest. B.Creative. C.Generous D.Outgoing. C I am an active playgoer and play-reader,and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others.To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play. Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright (hopes to get across through dialogue and action.A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection,for that would, indeed,ruin the pleasure of reading,discussing,and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright.However,a variety of types is represented here.These include comedy,satire,poignant drama,historical and regional drama.To show the versatility()of the short play,I have included a guidance play,a radio play and a television play. Among the writers of the plays in this collection,Paul Green,Susan Glaspell,Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder,William Saroyan,and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater.More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book. To get the most out of reading these plays,try to picture the play on stage,with you,the reader,in the audience.The houselights dim ()The curtains are about to open,and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story. 28.What do we know about the author from the first paragraph? A.He has a deep love for the theater B.He has written dozens of plays. C.He is a professional stage actor. D.He likes reading short plays to others. 29.What does the author avoid doing in his work? A.Offering information on the playwrights. B.Selecting works by famous playwrights. C.Including various types of plays. D.Stating the plays'central ideas. 30.What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays? A.Control their feelings. B.Use their imagination. C.Apply their acting skills. D.Keep their audience in mind. 31.What is this text? A.A short story. B.A play review. C.An introduction to a book D.An advertisement for a theater. D 4 The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.Recent studies have found positive effects.A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio,for example,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In another,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants. The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)have taken it a step further--- changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual functions.These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater."We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT. One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow()in experiments using some common vegetables.Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-halfhours.The light, about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start.The technology,Strano said,could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps. In the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-offtreatment that would last the plant's lifetime.The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off"switch"where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight. Lighting accounts for about 7%of the total electricity consumed in the US.Since lighting is often far removed from the power source ()---such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway---alot ofenergy is lost during transmission ()Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy. 32.What is the first paragraph mainly about? A.Benefits from green plants. B.A big fall in crime rates. C.Employees from various workplaces. D.A new study of different plants 33.What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers? A.To test chemicals in plants. B.To change compositions of plants C.To make the life of plants longer. D.To detect plants'lack of water. 34.What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future? A.They will speed up energy production. B.They may transmit electricity to the home. C.They could take the place of power plants. D.They might help reduce energy consumption. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.Could glowing plants replace lamps? B.How do we live with glowing plants? C.Can we grow more glowing plants? D.How are glowing plants made pollution-free? 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 I experienced years of loneliness as a child.36 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine.With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself. A bright spot for me turned out to be reading.My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening.37 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books.I quickly graduated from typical children's books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters.Reading opened new worlds to me.38 My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted.I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me.When my mother saw my creations,she told me how creative my designs were.39 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful.It was a trait others found helpful,and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me. 40 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside,no matter the weather or season.My brother,of course,raced off to be with his friends,while I had plenty to do myself.There was making leaf houses in autumn,ice skating in winter,and so much more.They're all memories I treasure today A.I wasn't alone any longer.

One day,I was sitting in US History,totally stressing out about a midterm exam we were having the next day.I didn't even notice the headteacher come in.When he called my name,I didn't hear him Then Lisa clapped me on my shoulder.When looking up,I found a strange expression on his face. Something was wrong.I figured I was in trouble,but I couldn't imagine for what I followed the headteacher into his office.After being silent for a minute,the headteacher began to speak,"Your father has had a car accident.The doctors did everything they could to save him,but I'm afraid he didn't make it..."The news came as a big blow.I stood silently,tears rolling down my face. The next few weeks were a blur as we had the funeral (and began adjusting to life without my dad.When I went back to school,everything felt a little different.I couldn't exactly explain how, but it just did.I felt like I couldn't talk to my fiiends about the same old things and couldn't deal with listening to the same stupid jokes.I started eating lunch on the bench alone.Sometimes,I was just sitting there,eating nothing One day,at lunch time,I sat on the bench as usual,staring off into space. Lisa and I started having lunch on that bench every day.
