Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.‎ On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.‎ With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.‎ Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.‎ Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance - 12 -‎ ‎ to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.‎ ‎5. What might be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Celebrating Our Green Year. B. Protecting the Planet.‎ C. Keeping Open-Minded D. Going Green.‎ ‎6. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_____.‎ A. they needed to perform unusual green tasks .‎ B. they didn't know how to educate other people C. they were unwilling to reduce their energy D. they were expected to follow the green fad ‎7. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?‎ A. They ignore others' ungreen behavior.‎ B. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.‎ C. They chose better chemical cleaners.‎ D. They sold their home-made food.‎ ‎8. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The government will give support to the green people.‎ B. Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas.‎ C. The couple may continue their project in the future.‎ D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.‎ C The number of accidents involving pedestrians (行人) wearing headphones is on the rise, a report suggests, causing fresh warning from road safety groups in Britain.‎ A US-based study found a total of 116 reports of death or injury to pedestrians wearing headphones between 2004 and 2011, jumping from 16 in 2005 to 47 in 2011.‎ Most victims were men (68%) and under the age of 30 (67%), with around one in ten of all cases (9%) under the age of 18.Some 89% of the cases occurred in urban areas and more than half (55%) of the victims were struck by trains .‎ Eighty-one of the 116 accidents (70%) resulted in the person’s death—even though a warning was sounded in around a third of the cases.‎ - 12 -‎ The study concluded, “The use of headphone may be a safety risk to pedestrians , especially in environments with moving vehicles. Further research is needed to determine if and how headphone use threatens pedestrian safety.” British road safety groups warned pedestrians to be careful.‎ Floor Lieshout, director of Youth For Road Safety, said, “ This study shows once more the importance of using all of our senses while we are near traffic. It is important that we find an attractive way to make youth learn about the risks of wearing headphones in traffic.”‎ Andrew Howard , who is the head of road safety at the Automobile Association, added that some pedestrians can be “so immersed in their own little world that they forget the world going on around them”. That can include headphone wearers, Howard said, but also people talking on phones.‎ However, Howard said that more researches needed to be done.‎ Earlier studies have shown that people wearing headphones or talking on phones can suffer “inattentional blindness” which makes them isolated (孤立) from the world around them .‎ Ian Harvey, at the charity Civic Voice, said that “ to defeat isolation and to help build a civic(文明的) society, people need to interactwith each other .‎ He said, “ A basis for any civilized society is communication—Surfing the web, listening to MP3s, reading blogs or sending e-mail is not interacting with a person; it’s interacting with a machine.‎ ‎“If people feel socially isolated, they need to have more face-to-face interactions with other human beings and in time, will begin to feel happier and more connected to the world and place they live in.”‎ ‎9. We can learn from the Us-bases study that _________ .‎ A. most accidents were caused by cars B. most victims died in the accidents C. most accidents happened in the countryside D. most victims were women - 12 -‎ 10. What does the underlined word immersed in paragraph7 mean ?‎ ‎ A. cautious B. relevant ‎ ‎ C. aware D. absorbed ‎ ‎11. Howard will probably agree that ____________ .‎ A. it is safe if you wear headphones in a proper way B. it is dangerous to talk on phones while walking C. most people wear headphones because of loneliness D. people wearing headphones are more likely to go blind 12. What Ian Harvey said shows the importance of ___________ .‎ A. beating isolation B. new technologies C. building a civilized society D. communication between people D Conventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on children’s bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.‎ Scientists measured this by studying the ends of children’s chromosomes(染色体), called telomeres, says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in MolecularPsychiatry.‎ Telomeres are special DNA sequences （序列）which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.‎ Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.‎ In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make children’s telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the children’s telomeres—in cells obtained - 12 -‎ ‎ by swabbing(擦拭) the insides of their cheeks—at ages 5 and 10.‎ Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.‎ Shalev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says. ‎ The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.‎ ‎13. The new study found that ________.‎ A. hardship can change a child’s aging ‎ B. violence leaves scars on a child’s mind C. violence can speed up a child’s aging ‎ D. hardship has a long term effect on a child’s mind ‎14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?‎ A. Violence can cause quick cell division in children’s body.‎ B. Researchers measured the children’s telomeres from their legs in the study.‎ C. Being treated badly will make a child’s telomeres shorten faster.‎ D. Children who have shorter telomeres may have a heart attack earlier.‎ ‎15. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Violence Aging Children’s DNA B. Children’s Changing DNA Patterns C. Violence and Telomeres D. The Function of Telomeres 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 the perfect selfie(自拍)‎ ‎     You can take a selfie with a hand-held digital camera or mobile phone and later share it on the Internet. So selfies have been especially popular over the years.‎ - 12 -‎ ‎ 16______. Love them or hate them, selfies show no sign of stopping.‎ ‎     After all, the selfie is the most important way to show off on holiday. Everyone has his own way to take the holiday selfies. How can you take the best holiday selfies? 17.______.‎ ‎◆ Food chew’ style ‎    Want to let everyone know how exciting your holiday food choices are? 18.______.

Opinions are divided on this topic. Now the results are as follows. ‎ ‎ 60% of the students in our class think it unnecessary to take any tonics. There are some reasons. To begin with , they argue that Senior Three students can stay healthy by taking regular exercise .In other words, there is no need for them to take any tonics. Besides, taking too much tonics will undoubtedly cause them to put on weight, which is harmful to their health. What's more, the expensive tonics will be a heavy burden for their parents.‎ However, 40%of the students hold the different idea that it’s necessary for Senior Three students to take tonics. For one thing , they have a lot of homework to do every day and so many students get tired easily and tonics can help them to refresh themselves. For another thing , they can't spare time to do sports as a result of the tight schedule ..‎ - 12 -‎ Personally, it’s unnecessary for Senior Three students to take tonics. Instead, keeping a balanced diet is more important and the best way to stay healthy is to take exercise regularly. Only by doing so, can students stay healthy..‎ - 12 -‎
