The ballet tells the story of a little girl who receives a nutcracker as a present on Christmas Eve. Suddenly, it transforms into a little prince, and he takes the girl on a voyage through the Land of Snow. This production is a superb performance which lived up to the mystery of the charming Russian classic.Hello SadnessTime: Ongoing until May 1Place: Shanghai Art Theater This play is adapted from the 1954 French novel Bonjour Tristesse, written by Francoise Sagan when she was only 18. The story is about a 17-year-old girl, Cecile, who lives with her father Raymond. When Raymond finally decides to settle down with a woman, Cecile worries about how her life will change, and she tries to destroy the marriage. Be prepared for a sad ending.Rain ZoneTime: Ongoing until June 19Place: Zhujiang Party Pier Beer Culture numerous “missing“ species not yet declared extinct; and the fact that present extinction rates were not calculated using the proper baseline date for when the species was first described.Taking these points into consideration, the extinction rate is closer to one bird species per year, says Pimm, the leading author of the study. And the rate could be three times as high as that if not for recent bird preservation efforts.In previous centuries, bird extinctions took place mainly on islands as Polynesian peoples expanded into the Pacific or Europeans took over the Americas, wiping out birds along the way.In recent years, scientists are seeing an increased number of extinctions on continents, again because of human activities. Habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species, and climate change combine to harm many bird species. Before human influence, the estimated rate of bird extinctions would have been only one species per hundred years, researchers estimate.Bird extinction rates are slower than for most animals, mainly because humans do more harm to other species and people take special efforts to protect birds. Still, if the present trends continue, the researchers estimate that the bird extinction rate will continue to climb to as many as 10 species per year,8. The underlined word “skyrocket“ in the first paragraph meansA. fly high B. appear soonC. increase quickly D. change regularly9. According to Pimm, the extinction rate of birds is_.A. one species per hundred yearsB. one species every yearC. three species per yearD. ten species every year10. What can we infer from the fifth and sixth paragraphs?A. Humans have started destroying bird habitat in recent years.B. Humans are doing more harm to animals than to birds.mC. Humans have made no effort to protect birds.D. Humans are responsible for the bird extinctions.- 5 -11. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Humans' Fighting against Bird ExtinctionB. Humans' Responsibilities for Bird ProtectionC. Bird Extinction Rates Far Worse Than RealizedD. Bird Extinction Occurring on Islands and ContinentsD DThere was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier: “Paper or plastic?” Well, which type of bag would you choose?While all types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, break down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true?Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper.Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.Theres no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we dont seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”12. The questions in Paragraph 1 are used to .A. express the authors doubts - 6 -B. tell readers how to save moneyC. introduce points for discussion D. show the kindness of the cashier13. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags .A. need more water to produce B. require less energy to recycleC. take more time to break down D. have less influence on forests14. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.A. shared B. given up C. discussed D. put forward15. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask?A. Paper or cloth? B. Paper or plastic?C. A small bag or big one? D. A new bag or your own one? 第二节第二节 ( (共共 5 5 小题小题; ;每小题每小题 3 3 分分, ,满分满分 1515 分分) )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。Some people get pleasure from picnics and tours.

Indeed, books are our best friends as they help us in our hour of need.18 They entertain us in our spare moments. Good novels, books on poetry and short stories, give us great enjoyment.
