Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?‎ Jane Addams (1860-1935) Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson (1907-1964) If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.‎ Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present) When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator(参议员) and ,in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.‎ Rosa Parks (1913-2005) On December 1,1955,in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.

However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests(巢) are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.‎ The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax(蜂蜡) in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.‎ Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.‎ ‎5.

Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors --silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want. It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide. Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home. My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck. I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world ‎ as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive. 13. According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today? A. Because they are traditional and safe. ‎ B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive. C. Because they are colorful and available. ‎ D. Because they are fast and environment friendly. 14. The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________. A. to ride it for fun ‎ B. to use it for transport C. to experience local skills ‎ D. to improve his riding skills 15. How did the author feel about his street crossing? A. It was boring. ‎ B. It was difficult. ‎ C. It was lively. ‎ D. It was wonderful. 16. Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience? A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.  B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding. C. The author was praised by the other bikers. D. The author took great pleasure in biking.‎ E Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment.“We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day U.S.A.   But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many ,many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day. ‎ According to U.S. government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious ‎ problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of “green thinking ” has become part of practices . Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .   Twenty–five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment .Today , it’s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program .” Until we do that , nothing else will change! ” say Bruce Anderson . 17. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___. A. the social movement  B. recycling techniques C. environmental problems D. the importance of Earth Day  18. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from? A. The grass–roots level.  B. The business circle.  C. Government officials. D. University professors.  19. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection? A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.  B. They have settled their environmental problems.  C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities. D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures. 20. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph? A. Education.  B. Planning.  C. Green living.  D. CO reduction.‎ 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。‎ Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule From my experience , there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often : ability, money , and time. 21 .Money is a topic I’ll save for another day .So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen .Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule ‎ : 1.Think ahead.The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat .So think ahead of the coming week .When will you have time to cook?
