However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.‎ In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.‎ Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements ‎ repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?‎ Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.‎ ‎21. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because     .‎ A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.‎ B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths  ‎ D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease ‎22. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?‎ A. Afraid.        B. Curious    C.   Approving.   D. Uninterested.‎ ‎23. How does the passage mainly develop?‎ A. By providing examples.           B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By following the order of time.     D. By following the order of importance.‎ ‎24. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?‎ A. To stress the role of dirt.               B. To introduce the history of dirt.‎ C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.    D. To present the change of views on dirt.‎ B ‎ The Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, some of which fight for the passing of laws that would give every American the right to a place to call home. According to the Coalitions’ studies, of over two hundred million people living in the United States, up to three million are homeless—and the number is still growing. Since the late 1970s, fast rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession have made it impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs. Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and or unable to find new affordable homes. According to another research, families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it. The old idea of a homeless person, that of the single man who gets drunk all the time, is no longer true. A much lager part of the population now finds itself homeless. Even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job, since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application.‎ ‎25. The word “address” in the first line probably means ________.‎ A. talk about B. deal with C. fight for D. write to ‎26. How many people are homeless in the U.S. according to the Coalition studies?‎ A. 39% of the population. B. 200 million people.‎ C. About 3 million people. D. About one-fifth of the population.‎ ‎27. Homeless people often have difficulty finding a job because________.‎ ‎  A. they have no home addresses ‎  B. they mostly have a drinking problem C. they aren't supported by government programs D. they often don't have enough work experience ‎28. What is the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the U.S.?‎ A. The passing of new housing laws.‎ B. The fast growth of family size.‎ C. The slow construction of houses.‎ D. The ever-rising price of housing.‎ C ‎ The global energy crisis is approaching. What can we do? Here are some steps you can take.‎ ‎ Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid (电网). Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort. Clean or replace filters monthly or as needed. ‎ ‎ For central air conditioning systems and room sir conditioners, look for the ENERGY STAR, the federal government's symbol for energy efficiency. For central air, purchase the system with the highest possible ‎ Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). ‎ ‎ Use energy-efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning Ceiling fans do a great job of circulating air. When used with air conditioning, fans allow you to raise the thermostat (恒温器) and cut costs. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms, so before you leave, turn off the ceiling fan. ‎ ‎ Let a programmable thermostat "remember for you" to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy and cresting pollution all day while you are at work.‎ ‎ Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort, make your home quieter and cleaner and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent. ‎ ‎ Cut your air conditioning load, and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixing reflective bricks on your roof. ‎ ‎ Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing windows during the day, or fix shading equipment to avoid beat build-up. ‎ ‎ Turn off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers. And use fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯), which provide bright, warm light while using at least two-thirds less energy, producing 70 percent Jess beat and lasting up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs (白炽灯). ‎ ‎ Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than $65 per year. ‎ ‎ Carpool. The average U.S. commutes (乘车上班族) could save about $260 a year by sharing cars twice a week with two other people in a car that gets 20.1 mpg-assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.‎ ‎29. According to the passage, the thermostat is used to _____.‎ A. make rooms quieter ‎ B. control room temperature ‎ C. turn off the air conditioner ‎ D. reduce room air pollution ‎30. We can conclude from the passage that the author probably discourages _____.‎ A. planting leafy trees around your home ‎ B. turning off the ceiling fan before you leave your house C. keeping your south-facing windows open during the day ‎ D. using fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs ‎31. According to the passage, you can save fuel by _____.‎ A. using energy-efficient ceiling fans B. sharing cars with others on workdays C. turning off everything not in use D. reducing 10% of your car trips every year ‎32. This passage is mainly about _____.‎ A. energy-saving tips ‎ B. fuel-saving tips ‎ C. do-it-yourself tips ‎ D. environment-protecting tips D As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. “The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friend’s house and found him not at home,  his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(语气) of airy acceptance. It’s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.‎ We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial mound.‎ Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical; the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly----tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.‎ It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence（青春期）. In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.‎ ‎33. The author and his friends were often out in the woods to ___________.‎ ‎ A. Spend their free time B. play golf and other sports ‎ C. avoid doing their schoolwork D. keep away from their parents ‎34. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?‎ ‎ A. The activities in the woods were well planned ‎ B. Human history is not the result of exploration ‎ C. Exploration should be a systematic activity ‎ D. The author explored in the woods aimlessly ‎35. How does the author feel about his childhood?‎ ‎ A. Happy but short B. Lonely but memorable ‎ C. Boring and meaningless D. Long and unforgettable 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。‎ Warren Buffett For someone who is such a successful investor, Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy. He was born on August 30, 1930 ___36___ He used to go door-to-door and sell soda water. When his family moved to Washington, Buffett became a paperboy for The Washington Post. Buffett ran his five paper routes and even added magazines to round out his product offerings.

They called their venture（企业）Wilson Coin Operated Machine Co.     ‎ Although already a successful small-time businessman, Buffett wasn’t interested in going to college but ended up at the University of Pennsylvania ---- his father encouraged him to go.  ___38___   . But he was turned down and that had to be one of the worst admission decisions in Harvard history. The outcome affected Buffett’s life, for he ended up attending Columbia Business School, where he studied under Professor Benjamin Graham, the father of securities analysis who provided the foundation(基础) for Buffett’s investment strategy.     ‎ From the beginning, Buffett made his fortune from investing. He started with all the money he had made from selling soda water, delivering papers, and operating pinball machines. Between 1950 and 1956, he grew his $9,800 to $14,000. ___39___  and then he gradually drew in other investors through word of mouth and very attractive terms.     ‎ ‎____40____He doesn’t collect houses or cars or works of art, and he disdains（鄙视）companies that waste money on expensive cars, private dining rooms, and high-priced real villas.
