I want to help out and teach people how to conserve water. Please continue reading because your organization is very influential. I had an idea that you could send some workers from your organization to schools all around the world, and they could inform the students about water usage. ‎ Did you know that every minute, 1,000,000,000 (one billion) tons of water falls to the earth from rainfall? We are lucky to have rainfall water. It helps fill up ‎ our lakes. There is about 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 (326 quintillion) gallons of water on Earth. Yes, this is tons, but it is getting wasted. I want to keep this number BIG. ‎ Everyone needs water-so why waste it? I think it is very irresponsible to let the water run when you are not at home. We can use water with respect by making good choices. Take a shower instead of a bath, use an automatic dishwasher instead of hand washing. You can buy Earth Friendly Cleaner Spray, so that our drinking water will not be polluted. If your washer isn't full then don't start it. With water being wasted every day, by the time we get to the 3000's we are going to have to survive on milk and juice!!! Won't that be boring?!?!? That means we will have to give our dogs a bowl of juice instead of water with their food. I mean, come on, we're talking real life here!!‎ Water wasting needs to come to a stop and without delay. Water Use It Wisely, PLEASE inform people about their water usage! It plays a big role in my life. It would be really great if you take part in spreading the news about this! Thanks tons!!‎ An impatient fourth grader waiting for a reply,‎ ‎ Mya Oleksiak ‎56. Water Use It Wisely is most probably ____________. ‎ A. an organization B. a person's name C. the title of a magazine D. a government department ‎57. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ____________. ‎ A. water is not effectively saved B. rainfall is the main source of fresh water C. the amount of water from rainfall is increasing D. we have 326 quintillion gallons of water each year ‎58. According to the passage, what is a proper way to save water?‎ A. Washing dishes by hand. ‎ B. Starting the washer with a full load. ‎ C. Feeding our pets with juice and milk. ‎ D. Encouraging people to use cleaner spray. ‎ ‎59. This is basically a letter of ____________. ‎ A. comfort B. complaint C. appeal D. recommendation B I had to knock on the taxi to get his attention. Finally, the driver, a man about 60, looked up from behind the wheel and apologized, "I'm sorry, but I was reading a letter." He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough. ‎ Since I was in no hurry, I told him to finish his letter. He shook his head, explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart. Curious, I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild. "This isn't family," he replied, "though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family. Old Ed and I grew up together. "‎ They were always friends. But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago, it'd generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them. A couple of weeks ago, Ed died. "I should have kept in touch." He repeated this, more to himself than to me. To comfort him, I said sometimes we just didn't seem to find the time. "But we used to find the time," he said. "Take a look." He handed the letter over to me. ‎ The first sentence "I've been meaning to write for some time, but I've always delayed it. " reminded me of myself. It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together. When I read the part where it said, "Your friendship really means a lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that", I found myself nodding in agreement. ‎ We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph. "So I thought you'd like to know that I was thinking of you. " And it was ended with "Your Old Friend, Tom."‎ ‎"I thought your friend's name was Ed," I said. ‎ ‎"I'm Tom," he explained. "It's a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he'd died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner. " His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. ‎ When I got to my hotel room I didn't unpack right away. I had to write a letter and post it. ‎ ‎60. Who wrote the letter?‎ A. Tom. B. Old Ed. ‎ C. The author. D. The driver's grandchild. ‎ ‎61. It can be inferred from the passage that the driver regretted ____________. ‎ A. missing Ed's funeral B. moving away from his neighborhood C. forgetting to send Ed Christmas cards D. not being able to keep in touch with Ed ‎62. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that the author of the passage ____________. ‎ A. often failed to write to his friends B. had no intention to write to his friends C. had many great moments with his friends D. was good at expressing feelings to his friends ‎63. What message does the passage probably try to convey?‎ A. Comfort your friends when they are feeling down. ‎ B. Life is unpredictable so live each day as if it were your last. ‎ C. Remember to always mail your letters after expressing your words. ‎ D. Always make time to value and experience your lasting friendships. ‎ C They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories（配饰）. Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies. A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age. ‎ Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, "Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s, buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get ‎ tired of things more quickly. "‎ Professor Twigg analyzed family expending data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—and 5 or 6 per cent of spending—the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply. ‎ The professor said, "Clothes are now 70 per cent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them. "‎ Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity style than in previous years. ‎ She said, "When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. There's also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago. "‎ ‎64. Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, _________. ‎ A. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%‎ B. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%‎ C. people spend 30% less than they did on clothes D. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%‎ ‎65. What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?‎ A. They are often ignored by fashion designers. ‎ B. They are now more easily influenced by stars. ‎ C. They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion. ‎ D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age. ‎ ‎66. It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly ‎ because _________. ‎ A. they get tired of things more quickly B. TV shows teach them how to change their looks C. they are in much better shape now D. clothes are much cheaper than before ‎67. Which is the best possible title of the passage?‎ A. Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans B. The More Fashionable, the Less Expensive C. Unexpected Changes in Fashion D. Boom of the British Fashion Industry D People diet to look more attractive. Fish diet to avoid being beaten up, thrown out of their social group, and getting eaten as a result. That is the fascinating conclusion of the latest research into fish behavior by a team of Australian scientists. ‎ The research team have discovered that subordinate (下级的) fish voluntarily diet to avoid challenging their larger competitors. "In studying gobies（鰕虎鱼） we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding (繁殖) rights within the group," explains Marian Wong. "All other group members are nonbreeding females, each being 5-10% smaller than its next largest competitor. We wanted to find out how they maintain this precise size separation. "‎ The reason for the size difference was easy to see. Once a subordinate fish grows to within 5-10% of the size of its larger competitor, it causes a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not, the evicted fish is then eaten up. ‎ It appeared that the smaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging the boss fish. Whether they did so voluntarily, by restraining how much they ate, was not clear. The research team decided to do an experiment. They tried to fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happened. To their surprise,‎ ‎ the gobies simply refused the extra food they were offered, clearly preferring to remain small and avoid fights, over having a feast. ‎ The discovery challenges the traditional scientific view of how boss individuals keep their position in a group. Previously it was thought that large individuals simply used their weight and size to threaten their subordinates and take more of the food for themselves, so keeping their competitors small. ‎ While the habits of gobies may seem a little mysterious, Dr. Wong explains that understanding the relationships between boss and subordinate animals is important to understanding how hierarchical（等级的） societies remain stable. ‎ The research has proved the fact that voluntary dieting is a habit far from exclusive(专有的) to humans. "As yet, we lack a complete understanding of how widespread the voluntary reduction of food intake is in nature," the researchers comment. "Data on human dieting suggests that, while humans generally diet to improve health or increase attractiveness, rarely does it improve long-term health and males regularly prefer females that are fatter, than the females' own ideal."‎ ‎68. When a goby grows to within 5-10% of the size of its larger competitor, it _________. ‎ A. faces danger B. has breeding rights C. eats its competitor D. leaves the group itself ‎69. The underlined words "the evicted fish" in Paragraph 3 refer to _________. ‎ A. the fish beaten up B. the fish found out C. the fish fattened up D. the fish driven away ‎70. The experiment showed that the smaller fish _________. ‎ A. fought over a feast B. went on diet willingly C. preferred some extra food D. challenged the boss fish E Retirement Age Retirement is the point where a person stops employment completely. The "standard" retirement age varies from country to country, but it is generally between 50 and ‎ 70, according to the latest statistics, 2011. However, for a long time, people have got into an argument about whether the age of retirement should be increased or reduced in their own countries. ‎ There are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. Many people think that older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. Besides, older employees are often extremely faithful employees and are more willing to implement company policies than the young. A more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. ‎ Allowing old people to work indefinitely(无限期地), however, is not always a good policy. Some people took the strong view that age alone is no guarantee of ability. Many young employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. On the other hand, older people should be rewarded by society for their life's labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy leisure. They can have time to do whatever they like, that is, they can have their own plans or roles and achieve their retirement goals. ‎ With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual's freedom—and right—to work. In my opinion, giving workers more choices over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual. ‎ ‎71. According to the passage, old people should go on with work because _________. ‎ A. they will help the business not to fail quickly B. they have grasped much practical experience C. they need to have a sense of achievement D. they want to learn more knowledge ‎72. The underlined word "implement" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_________". ‎ A. take over B. work on C. get rid of D. carry out ‎73. The third paragraph is mainly to tell us that _________. ‎ A. older people can't do their work well B. young people usually have new ideas C. it is better for older people to retire on time D. older people would like to do, something else ‎74. What is the author's attitude towards compulsory retirement?‎ A. positive B. neutral C. negative D. uncertain ‎75.
