It sounds crazy, but there's actually a very good reason. I live in a suburb （交B 区）of Los Angeles, where people waste a lot and cause many environmental problems. Over time I have begun to feel unhappy living like that.I decided to see how simply I could live, so I stopped buying anything that came in a package or plastic bags. This helped somewhat, but there was still one big source of rubbish: food waste like fruit and vegetable peelings. It seemed a waste to throw them away. So that's why I bought the worms.I knew that earthworms did a lot of work in the soil, but I didn't think there was much fbr them to do in my apartment. After reading a book about how to recycle food waste into soil, I bought a big plastic box and filled it with dirt. Then I bought a kilogram of worms from a local fishing store and put them all into the box. I put the food waste I'd collected on top and put the cover on. That night I was so afraid the worms would escape and I would wake up to find them all over the house.But that didn't happen. What did happen was that the worms ate my food waste, digested it, and what came out was very rich soil! It was really amazing to watch my rubbish disappear like that. I started growing vegetables, and used this soil to help them grow. It was a perfect cycle and thafs how I know just how hard worms work - by feasting. Thanks largely to the earthworms, I only throw way two small bags of rubbish every two months, and live very happily because of my simplicity.24. Why did the author decide to live simply?A. Because she decided to develop a new hobby.B. Because she didn't want to produce so much rubbish.C. Because she was bored with such a wealthy life.D. Because she followed the people in Los Angeles.25. The author decided to raise earthworms because she wanted.A. to keep some earthworms as petsB. to be different from her neighborsC. to do research about how earthworms workD. to have the worms make waste food into soilHow did the author benefit from having the earthworms?A. She didn't need to buy any vegetables or fruit.B. She started a new business of raising earthworms.C. She had the food waste changed into soil for her plants.D. She made some extra money by selling her earthworms.26. Which word best describes the author?A. Confident B .Conventional. C. Creative.D. Cautious.CWhat is the difference between developed and developing countries? The question is quite a difficult one. But we can compare them in two important aspects: people and economy.In developing countries there are high rates of both birth and death. Families decide to give birth to more than one child, because many developing countries do not have the necessary systems to guarantee（保证）the life of old people. Raising more children seems to be the only way to make sure that during their later years a person will be taken care of.The situation is completely different in developed countries. Those countries have low levels of birth and?mortality. Low mortality rate is mainly because of the good health care, but low birth rate is due to the fact that supporting a family with more children is expensive nowadays. Another reason is that more and more women decide to work outside, so there is usually no time and place for a large group of children in their lives.In developed countries, most industries have high levels of technological progress, while in developing countries most GDP comes from agriculture. It is mainly due to the fact that services and many branches of industry are in the stage of development. But they have the potential to develop quickly, because they have many things to improve.Of course, the difference between developed and developing countries is not that clear, because some countries might be in the middle of great changes. When a country is in that stage, some data can define the country as a developing one, but others may show that it is a developed one.27. Why does the writer think the question is difficult to answer?A.?Because the people and economy cannot reflect the whole situation.B.?Because most developing countries are certain to become developed ones.C.?Because he can only compare them in two aspects-people and economy.D.?Because a developing country can be seen as developed one by some data.28. In developing countries, there are high birth rates because people hope.A.?their children will have a bright futureRegenerations can live under the same roofC.?they will be taken care of in their later yearsD.?the next generation can contribute more to societyWhat's the meaning of the underlined word "mortality” in Paragraph 3?A.?Death.? B.?Employment.?C. Health.D.?Survival.29. What's probably the writer's attitude towards the future of developing countries?A.?Negative.?B.? Worried.C.?Doubtful.D. Optimistic.30. This passage mainly helps us to .A. know why developed countries develop so fast.B. learn about the weak points of developed countries.C. realise our responsibilities to develop our own countries.D. tell the differences between developing countries and developed countries.DHouses have been getting progressively nsmarterH for decades, but the next generation of smart homes may offer what two Case Western Reserve University scientists are calling an nInternet of Ears.”Today's smart home features appliances, entertainment systems, security cameras and lighting, heating and cooling systems that are connected to each other and the Internet. They can be accessed and controlled remotely by computer or smartphone apps.But a group of electrical engineering and computer science professors in the Case School of Engineering have been experimenting with a new suite of sensors （传感器）.This system would read not only the vibrations （震动），sounds and even other movements connected with people and animals in a building, but also any slight changes in the existing electrical field.Although there still maybe a decade or so away, the home of the future could be a building that adjusts to your activity with only a few small, hidden sensors in the walls and floor without the need for monitoring cameras.HWe are trying to make a building that is able to6listen9to the humans inside,” said Ming-Chun Huang, an assistant professor in electrical engineering and computer science. "We are using principles similar to those of the human ear, where vibrations are picked up and our algorithms （计 算程序）recognize them to determine your specific movements. Thafs why we call it the "Internet of Ears'. ”“There is actually a constant 60 Hz （赫兹）electrical field all around us, and because people are somewhat conductive, they short out the field just a little/1 Huang said. "So, by measuring the disturbance in that field, we are able to determine their presence, or even their breathing, even when there are no vibrations connected with sound.”Huang said they have used as few as four small sensors in the walls and floor of a room. As for privacy concerns, the system would not be able to identify individuals, although it could recognize people's different ways of walking.31. What's the key part of the system in the smart home?A .The sensors.B.The vibrations.C .The electrical field.D.The monitoring cameras.32. Which is the function （功能）of the smart home of the next generation?A .Determining people's presence.B. Recognizing different people.C .Protecting individuals* privacy .D. Measuring the electrical field.33. What may be the best title for the text?A .Various Smart HousesB . Benefits of Smart HousesC .How do Smart Houses Work?D . What are Next Smart Homes like?第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从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。How to Be Cool in a High SchoolA high school has always been an imperfect society where people have been divided by social class and could not find their true value. 36 Also you can enjoy the benefits of being popularl.Bring a certain attitude.You should not care what other people think about you. This is not too easy, considering you will always care what other people think. 37 You can do this by building up your selfconfidence. If you have a strong image （形象）of yourself, you should be okay.2.Create an image.38 Stay away from an image that describes you as a bookworm. You also have to build an image of high self-respect.
