Nowadays, Guangzhou residents(居民) will be testing a pilot (试点的) project to reduce the amount of garbage(垃圾) produced in the city. Dump（倾倒，扔弃） more, pay more.‎ ‎"The new system requires local residents to pay more when they dump more garbage, and pay less if they dump less," said Bao Lunjun, chief engineer of the Guangzhou Administrative Committee of Urban Management.‎ Under the new system, each family in the pilot housing estates (住宅区)will receive 60 personalized trash bags - 30 for kitchen waste and 30 for other garbage - each month. Currently, every family in the city pays for them. “Only garbage in the special bags can be dumped in the housing estates' dustbins, or families will be fined,” Bao said.‎ ‎“The fees collected will be used to fund the collection program,” said Chen Jianhua, mayor of the city, in response to some residents’ worries that the fees would be pocketed by corrupt officials.‎ ‎“The new system is expected to cover the entire city and will help reduce the amount of trash dumped by local residents,” Bao said.‎ Another official said, “Authorities should raise residents’ environmental awareness and urge residents to sort garbage before it reaches the bin.‎ Residents who have sorted the garbage at home and reduce rubbish should be rewarded while asking those who dump more garbage should pay higher rubbish fees." ‎ But the fee increase has been questioned by local residents who oppose（反对） the new system. "The hike（涨价） of the rubbish fees will increase the burden of the city's low-income families," said Chen Hongyun, a Guangzhou housewife, “A public hearing should be organized before the new system is formally introduced,” she added.‎ ‎ “But the increasing amount of garbage is already beyond the treatment ability of existing landfills and incinerators（焚化炉）,causing a great threat to the health of local residents,” said Li Tinggui, director of the committee. “It’s urgent for the city to reduce garbage, and a charge for the amount of trash dumped by residents is a good way to realize this goal.” Li said.‎ ‎25. Why do Guangzhou authorities want to carry out the pilot project?‎ ‎ A. To reduce the amount of produced rubbish ‎ B. To raise money to build the city ‎ C. To cut down the use of plastic bags ‎ D. To make the city beautiful ‎26. How many people expressed their opinions in the passage?‎ ‎ A. Three B. Four C. Five D. Six ‎27. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?‎ ‎ A. The present rubbish fees for each household in Guangzhou ‎ B. The exact amount of daily treatment of rubbish ‎ ‎ C. The ways to deal with those who throw less or more rubbish ‎ D. People’s concern about how the collected money will be used ‎28. The author reported the new system in a(n) __________voice.‎ ‎ A. supportive B. objective C. disapproving D. indifferent C Winters are long and unforgiving in North Dakota. The winter of 1996 was especially brutal. It was a hard time in my own life too. A neck injury had kept me flat in bed for nearly a year. “Just in time for Easter,”my husband, Dick, said. But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment ahead? I was doing the dishes one day, feeling hopeless when there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of the troublesome cottonwood (棉白杨).Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (分支）then, an eight-foot stick（木棍）. The people who'd briefly occupied the house before us had placed the pipe from the pump next to it. The earth was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its bare root system pointing skyward, and blowing hopelessly back and forth in the cold wind. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I protested.（抗议） “Look at how hard it's trying!” I said, pointing to the way it strongly kept hold of the earth. “It deserves a chance.”‎ ‎ Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree and put up some stakes (桩) into the ground, making it stand upright. That winter was still terrible. Surprisingly, in the ‎ spring my “rescue stick”put forth a few leaves,then with lots of branches. The year after that, we were able to remove the stakes. By the 1990s that little stick was a giant, towering （高耸）over the house. Now the tapping（轻敲声） at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up, almost as though to tell me to look up. At last, I did. I caught my breath. In the window against the icy blue sky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind. ‎ The tree was bursting with life and I had a wonderful Easter. 29. What is the meaning of the underlined word "brutal" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A. busy B. hard C. long D. warm ‎30. How did Dick rescue the new subdivision?‎ A. By supporting the stick firmly. B. By watering the stick regularly.‎ C. By distributing chemical fertilizer. D. By gathering sticks day and night.‎ ‎31. What is the author's purpose in writing the last paragraph?‎ A. To inform us of the current condition of her cottonwood.‎ B. To imply that she’d spent the hardest time and felt hopeful.‎ C. To tell us that the tree had survived from the awful winter.‎ D. To suggest what she was going to do for the coming festival.‎ ‎32. Which of the following can serve as the main idea of the passage?‎ A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. There is no garden without its weeds.‎ C. Success is the accumulation of sweat. D. Where there is life, there is hope.‎ D To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.‎ Nobody knew who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, back in the eleventh century BC. ‎ We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its uses: it became a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.‎ In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again It became a symbol of power.‎ Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have ‎ become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.‎ ‎33. Ancient people first used umbrellas as __________ .‎ A. a symbol of honor B a symbol of power C. protection against the sun D. protection against the rain ‎ ‎34. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in accident __________. ‎ A. Babylon B. China C. Egypt D. Rome ‎35. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. The sales of the umbrella. B. The history and the use of the umbrella.‎ C. The invention of the umbrella. D. The differences among umbrellas.‎ ‎ ‎ 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。‎ 注意：如果此题有选E则在该答题卡中用2B铅笔涂黑AB两格；选F则涂黑BC两格；选G则涂黑CD两格。‎ Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock.
