He said “Hi, Joe.” And I said “Hey, hows it going?” And I moved on down the hall feeling 29 about how well I was coping with not knowing his name, when I heard a 30 voice behind me.“I dont know you!”It was Sylvia, one of the kindest, most 31 people I know.

When other nine-year-old kids wer

19、e playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has in

20、spired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the hous

21、e. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.Liz

22、 went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets.“What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small

23、part of the society,”she wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two yea

24、rs and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all

25、 the time.”Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.41In which order did the following things happen to Liz?a. Her mother died of AIDS.b. She worked at a petrol station.c. She got admitted into Harvard.d. The movie about her life was

D Love and respect for her parents.44When she wrote “What drove me to live on.I had only experienced a small part of the society”, she meant that _.Ashe had little experie

28、nce of social lifeBshe could hardly understand the societyCshe would do something for her own lifeDshe needed to travel more around the worldBDo you ever wonder why the English have one word for some animals and a different one for their meat? Why do they use pig and pork, cow and beef, and sheep an

29、d mutton. To find out, we have to go back to 1066. In that year, the Norman French invaded England and put a French king on the English throne. The French not only changed the government but they also changed the language. French became the language（王位） of the upper classes of society. And it remain

30、ed that way for 300 years. Only these high society people could afford to eat meat. As a result, French words like porc (pork) and beouf (beef) came into the English language. However, poor English farmers raised the animals. So, the English language retained the words pig and cow from the native An

31、glo-Saxon.The Norman French added about 10,000 French words to the English language. Seventy-five percent of them are still in use today.Language experts estimate that English speakers who have never studied French already know 15,000 French words! Between one-third and two-thirds of all English wor

32、ds have French origin. Some words such as possible and avenue are the same in French and English; only the pronunciation changes. Other words such as ballet or a la carte retain their French pronunciation in both languages.In French grammar, nouns have either a male or female gender, so adjectives（形

33、容詞） take different forms for each. English has only one adjective that does this, and it came from French. The world blond describes someone with light-colored hair. Blond is used for men, and blonde describes women. And they are also nouns.Some French words that entered the English language have ta

34、ken on completely different meanings. The French phrase a la mode means “in style.” In English, the phrase means “with ice cream.” Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!Now, as you learn English, youre on your way to learning French!45French was once popular among the

35、 upper classes of the UK because .Atoo many Frenchmen moved to Britain.Bthe French brought animals with themCthe king and his officials spoke FrenchDthe king allowed French to be spoken46The underlined word “retained” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”?AadoptedBkeptCintroducedDdeserted47Why

36、 does an English speaker find French easy to learn?ABecause English and French share similar pronunciation.BBecause English grammar and French grammar are similar.CBecause English has great influences on the French language.DBecause a large number of English word have French origins.48From the diffe

37、rence in grammar, we can infer that .AEnglish nouns have different adjective forms.BEnglish nouns have a male or female gender.Cin French, the adjective mush agree with the noun in gender.Dthe French word “flancee” is used for men and “fiance” for women.49What conclusion can we draw from the text?AL

38、anguage is closely related to history and culture.BLanguage is controlled by the upper classes of society.CFrench and English words dont have much in common.DEnglish combines French and the Native Anglo-Sanxon.CHow often do you travel by plane?How much electricity do you use? These days everyone is

39、worried about the size of their carbon footprint. In order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footprints smaller. But how much CO2 are we responsible for?A new book by Mike Berners Lee(a leading expert in carbon footprinting) might able to help. How Bad are Bananas? The Carbon Footp

40、rint of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of CO2 all of the following created: the ingredients, the clectricity used in the brewery, the equipment, the travel and commuting of the beer, and the packaging. Its amazing how many different things need to b

41、e included in each calculation. And its frightening how much carbon dioxide everything procuces.But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink. From Berners-Lees calculations, its clear that a pint(568ml) of locally-brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer. T

42、his is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging. The local beer only produces 300g of CO2-but the imported beer produces 900g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign lager from the supermarket.Berners-

43、Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work. Nothing is more environmentally-friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it depends on what youve h ad to eat before. To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food. So if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a ha

44、lf, our footprint is 65g of CO2. However, if we eat becon before the bike ride, its 200g. In fact, bananas are good in general because they dont need packaging, they can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely no

45、t, For a start, if you cycle, you dont use your car, and the fewer cars on the road, the few traffic jams. And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars travelling at speed. Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital. And hospitals have very big carbon footp

46、rints!So maybe its time for us all to start making some changes. Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer, please.50According to Berners-Lee, which of the following produces the most carbon dioxide（CO2）？AA pint of local beer we drink.BA pint of imported beer we drink.CA banana we eat before a bike

47、ride.DThe bacon we eat before a bike ride.51Why are bananas good in general?AThey grow naturally.BThey produces less CO2CThey dont need packaging.DThey provide energy for cycling.52The underlined word brewery in Paragraph 3 most probably means “ ”.Aa factory where beer is madeBa machine which makes

49、&BANANASBSTARTING MAKING CHANGESCHOW BIG IS YOUR CARBON FOOTPPINT?DTHE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF EVERYTHINGDI try not to be biased（偏見）but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His social worker assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee. He was

50、short, a little fat, with the smooth facial features and thick-togued speech of Downs Syndrome（唐氏綜合癥）. I thought most of my customers would be uncomfortable around Stevie, so I closely watched him of the first few weeks.I shouldnt have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped aroun

51、d his stubby little finger, and within a month my regular trucker customers had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot. After that, I really didnt care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but f

52、ierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a bread crumb or coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only problem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished. Over time, we learned

53、that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home. Thats why the restaurant was a gloomy place that morning last August, the first morning in three y

54、ears that Stevie missed work. He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a heart surgery. His social worker said that people with Downs Syndrome often had heart problems at an early age and there was a good chance he would come through the surgery in good shape and be back at work in a few month

55、s.A ripple of excitement ran through the staff later that morning when word came that he was out of surgery, in recovery, and doing fine. Frannie, my head waitress, did a little dance when she heard the good news. Belle Ringer, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at her and asked, “Okay, Fr

56、annie, what was that all about?”We just got word that Stevie is out of surgery and going to be okay.I was wondering where he was. I had a new joke to tell him. What was the surgery about?Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers sitting at his booth about Stevies surgery, then sighed: Yeah, Im glad he is going to be OK, she said. But I dont know how h
