It’s an idea that is far from untrue in many families. I remember being a twelve-year-old and spending some quality time on the phone with my girl-friends, even though we’d seen each other at school. I didn’t really have anything to talk about, I guess, but I think I was just happy to have someone else to talk to and that someone wanted to talk to me.‎ We call this phenomenon (现象) of girls going on forever over the regular phone “girl talk”. And these days, girl talk has spread far beyond the old phone-teens communicate with each other pretty much nonstop through cell phone, texting，online chat. Is girl talk a good thing? According to experts, it can be-in limited quantities.‎ Girl talk has its place. But too much of it, especially the kind during which problems are talked about endlessly can be not such a good thing. Psychologists (心理学家) think that too much of that kind of talking can lead to emotional problems such as depression (沮丧) and anxiety. Girls, much more so than boys, will always think of a problem and get worried, making the problem worse other than solving it. The best way is to try to guide the conversation toward something positive, or to do something about the problem rather than sit around and chat about it endlessly.‎ ‎24．As a teen, the author used to chat with her friends ________.‎ A．over the cell phone B．through texting C．over the old phone D．on the Internet ‎25．According to the first paragraph, we know that ________.‎ A．many people think talking on the phone untrue B．many people find girl talk on the phone quite common C．girls do little housework but only make calls D．girls don’t want to talk at school ‎26．By saying “girl talk has its place” in paragraph 3, the author most probably considers girl talk to be ________.‎ A．negative B. meaningless C．active D. acceptable ‎27．In the opinion of the author, girls should ________.‎ A. take actions to solve problems ‎ B. find some boys to chat with C．ask for advice on chatting ‎ D．talk about their emotional problems ‎ C When was the last time you used plastic plates? Next time, why not try some edible ones? You'll help the environment and your guests won't go hungry."I used to work in school catering and saw a lot of money being thrown away. I thought that was criminal, so I decided to do something about it," said Italian school chef Tiziano Vicentini. ‎ Now, Vicentini has an amazing range of edible plates for schools. The plates are made out of bread dough, so you can eat them afterwards. "These dishes cost a few pennies each and are either eaten by the kids, or go into recycling bins for animal food," explained Vicentini, 50, of Milan. But now other companies are developing edible plates, too. The Edible-Plate Company offers edible plates, bowls, trays and cups. Their products are environmentally-friendly, 100% biodegradable and can be used for all types of catering and home use. And they're made from a natural plant. After use, they can be fed to animals or left to degrade naturally.‎ They also have a range of cutlery（餐具） made from corn and potato starch（淀粉）． These plates will also help reduce the amount of plastic we create. Waste from plastic causes a lot of damage to the environment, as well as costing governments millions in waste management. Plastic bags often end up in landfill sites or on the street. And the burning of plastic waste causes toxic gases that pollute the air. In response to ‎ this, governments around the world are introducing tough recycling regulations. And many shops are offering biodegradable plastic bags and eco-safe packaging on their products. To help matters, the International Organization for Standardization (the ISO) has also developed a system to evaluate the biodegradability of products, with a certification and logo scheme. Meanwhile, how about a nice plate for lunch?‎ ‎28．Which of the following is not the advantage of edible plates?‎ A．They are environmentally-friendly.‎ B．They can degrade naturally.‎ C．They are expensive.‎ D．They are made from natural plant.‎ ‎29．Which of the following statements is true?‎ A．Tiziano is from Germany.‎ B．Corn and potato starch can be used to make cutlery.‎ C．Edible plates are only used for school catering.‎ D．The Edible Plate Company doesn't produce edible bowls.‎ ‎30．What does the underlined word "this" refer to?‎ A．The damage to the environment caused by plastic waste.‎ B．The toxic gases caused by the burning of plastic.‎ C．The edible cutlery.‎ D．The air pollution.‎ ‎31．What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A．The plate solution to eating and environmental problem.‎ B．How to make edible plates from natural plants.‎ C．The ways to reduce the plastic waste.‎ D．The measures to stop the pollution.‎ ‎ D A disease called “Panama” is threatening supplies of the world’s most popular fruit – banana. Two years ago, the United Nations warned that the “Panama disease” could destroy “much of the world’s banana crop.” Since then, things have not gotten better. A new outbreak was discovered last year in Australia. The disease started in Asia in the 1990s, and later spread to Africa and the Middle East.‎ World health officials worry the disease could travel to Latin America, one of the top banana producers in the world. All this is a big concern because bananas are an important source of income and nutrients for millions of people. They are grown in 135 tropical nations. The United Nations lists bananas as one of the most important foods, along with rice, wheat and corn.‎ Randy Ploetz is a professor at the Tropical Research & Educational Center at the University of Florida. Many consider him as America’s top banana expert, or, “top banana.” As he explained, Panama disease affects the Cavendish banana. The Cavendish is one of more than 500 kinds of bananas. But it is the most popular.‎ Ploetz said reports Cavendish banana production could end are not correct. But if the disease spreads to Latin America, it could hurt the world’s economy along with food supplies for millions of people.‎ Still, he said there is reason for hope. Scientists in Australia are working on a genetically engineered banana that might not be at risk of getting Panama disease. But Ploetz wondered if people are ready to accept genetically engineered bananas.‎ Robert Bertram is chief scientist for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). He said bananas are important to many millions of people all over the world. “In Africa, Asia and tropical America, bananas and plantains are an important food source for more than 100 million people,” he told VOA． “As a cash crop, bananas are sold in local, regional and international markets,” Bertram said. Banana exports provide jobs and foreign money that producing countries need, he said.‎ Bertram said USAID is organizing a worldwide effort to stop the growth of Panama disease. A fungus, known as TR4, causes the Panama disease.‎ ‎32．What makes World health officials worried about the disease?‎ A．Making the banana disappear.‎ B．No effective medicine.‎ C．Spreading to another continent.‎ D．No ways to stop it spreading.‎ ‎33．What do you know about Professor Randy Ploetz?‎ A．He found more than 500 kinds of bananas.‎ B．He helps farmers grow various bananas.‎ C．He is considered to be the best scientist studying banana in America.‎ D．He will find a better way to protect bananas.‎ ‎34．What’s the possible measure to defeat the disease?‎ A．Using clone technology to kill the disease.‎ B．Developing a new type of banana free of the disease.‎ C．Looking for effective ways to make banana healthy.‎ D．Inventing new medicine to prevent the disease.‎ ‎35．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A．Scientists Try to Protect Banana Trees.‎ B．Disease Spreads Quickly to Latin America..‎ C．Banana Plays an Important Role in Economy.‎ D．Disease Threatens Word Banana Supplies.‎ 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。‎ Florence Nightingale was named after her birthplace, Florence. Italy. When she was almost a year old, she returned with her family to England.‎ Florence often helped her mother deliver (运送) food to the poor and sick. 36 Her family was shocked because nursing was not a respected profession (职业).‎ But Florence was determined. She studied books on medicine. Later, she visited hospitals in France, Germany and Ireland and learned everything she could. 37 ‎ In 1854, Britain was at war with Russia,Florence went to the British hospital in Scutari and she was shocked. The hospital left men lying on the floor, and rats were running everywhere. 38 Many soldiers died before receiving help.‎ The doctors wouldn’t listen to Florence because they didn’t like the idea of women in army hospitals – until one day 500 unexpected casualties (伤亡者) arrived. 39 Florence made changes, making sure the men were washed and their injuries were cared for. Every night she would check the patients with her lamp.‎ When she returned home after the war, a fund had been set up in her honor. Many of the soldiers she had nursed had made contributions (捐款). Now she could set up the Nightingale Training School in London.‎ After years of hard work, Florence Nightingale saw cleaner and more cheerful ‎ hospitals. 40 All of this was because of the “lady with the lamp”.‎ A．Nursing became an honored profession.‎ B．There was no running water and no heat.‎ C．She knew she had much to learn about nursing.‎ D．Florence saw the soldiers’ health had improved.‎ E.

However，some students break this rule and some students even play with their mobile phones in class, which makes the teacher frustrated.‎ The disadvantages of students bringing mobile phones to school are obvious. On the one hand, mobile phones can distract students' attention. On the other hand, some students may get access to some unhealthy websites, which are bad for their development. Worse still, some students are likely to compare the brands of their mobile phones with their classmates'.‎ In my opinion, I strongly support banning mobile phones in schools. Only in this way can we devote more energies to our study and achieve our goals.‎
