Wait until fall, until the baby birds have flown away.”The tree didnt seem like an urgent issue to me or my husband, but it was worrying our neighbor and she wanted it gone. So, with some unwillingness and a chainsaw(链锯), my husband and our sons headed to our neighbors house early Saturday morning. About an hour later, I got a phone call from my 14-year-old son. He spoke in a trembling voice, which made me worried. I grabbed my keys, expecting to be told to meet my husband and sons at the emergency room. But no, everyone was safe. My son said that birds nests had fallen out of the tree and some baby birds had been hurt. So, I grabbed an old towel and a laundry basket.I put the birds in the basket and headed for the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. The people there are not astounded to see worried people with laundry baskets containing injured animals. They sighed at my storythey had heard many stories like this. They knew exactly how to help these birds. I was relieved that the birds would be fine, but I was still upset they had been needlessly traumatized(使受精神创伤).A lesson from this experience is that we need to look at the whole picture. We must behave in ways that help meet needs without causing harm to others, Our efforts to move through our lives with more gentleness and care may make a big difference for someone, whether its a baby bird or a person.21.

Live in Harmony with NatureC. Give Our Neighbors a Hand in TimeD. Help Others without Hurting AnyoneBThe future of energy production is here and some of the materials used to supply the energy may surprise you! Companies have developed a way to tum plant wastes and other garbage into fuel. It has been called one of the most promising technologies in alternative energy. And the process is expected to become more common this year.The American-based company, Fiberight, is taking the lead in this new form of energy production. A great deal of garbage is sent to Fiberights test plant in Southern Virginia. Old vegetables, cardboard boxes and other wastes become something much more valuable through the work done at the factory. The garbage is loaded into a huge pressure cooker. The material that comes out of the cooker is mostly cellulose (纤维素)，a substance that can be made into sugar. The sugar can then be turned into ethanol (乙醇).This year, several other fuel production plants are expected to start making ethanol from the cellulose in plant materials. Madhu Khanna is an agricultural economist at the University of Illinois. She said, “Making cellulosic ethanol turned out to be harder than expected. We know how to do that in a lab. The main problem is doing that continuously and massively.”Ethanol production from cellulose has yet to meet expectations. However, this year could be the turning point. But Madhu Khanna explained, “Our cars may limit how much the industry can grow, Only a few models of automobiles can operate on high-ethanol fuel. Without more of them, there is only so much gas made from garbage that will sell.”25.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The benefit of making fuel from garbage.B. The great importance of alternative energy.C. Fiberights way to turn wastes into ethanol.D. Fiberights influence on the American energy market.26. Which of the following is the difficulty of making cellulosic ethanol?A. The high cost.B. The low productivity.C. The high pollution risk.D. The long-term mass production.27. What does Madhu Khanna think of ethanol fuel made from cellulose?A. It is cheap for most people.B. It is only suitable for cars.C. It is hard to be used widely at present.D. It is more environmentally friendly.CIn October, temperatures across China begin to drop. Do you experience a mood shift as it turns to winter?Many people do. For about one in 20 people in the northern half of the United States, cooling temperatures and shorter, darker days may signal the onset of seasonal affective disorder(季节性情绪失调), or SAD, a type of depression that typically arrives in the fall or winter, The New York Times reported.Not every mild blue feeling in winter is SAD. SAD symptoms(症状) make it difficult for people to function. It tends to start with an increased appetite for foods like French fries or ice cream, the eagerness to sleep longer hours, difficulty getting up in the morning and feeling wiped out at work, according to Wales Online.The exact cause of this disorder remains unknown. But the good news is that because SAD is tied to the changing seasons, “You can predict its onset and ward it off.” Michael Terman, a professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University, US, told The New York Times.“Theres been a fair bit of research since about the 1980s supporting light therapy (疗法) as being effective for seasonal kinds of depression,” psychotherapist Rakhi Chand told The Guardian. But she also advised using this type of therapy under the guidance of a professional.While light therapy is the first recommended treatment for SAD, getting outside regularly can offer other opportunities to sink in some light.You might want to retreat like the hibernating bear, but dont, “Norman E, Rosenthal, the psychiatrist(精神病学家) whose research team identified and named the disorder in the 1980s, told The New York Times. “Walking outside even 20 or 30 minutes each day could make a huge difference,” he added Therefore, outdoor activities like skiing or hiking are highly recommended.Also, instead of giving into sugar longing, it is important to choose foods that are known to boost mood such as dark chocolate, nuts, oatmeal and berries, according to Egypt Today.Too nervous to enter winter? Remember, SAD is seasonal.If winter comes, can spring be too far behind?28.Which of the following is a SAD symptom?A. Having a reduced desire to eat.B. Finding it difficult to fall asleep.C. Waking up early in the morning.D. Having low or no energy at work.29. What is paragraph 6 mainly about?A. The origin of light therapy.B. The benefits of light therapy.C. The definition of light therapy.D. Alternatives to light therapy.30. What is the main topic of this passage?A. Seasonal sadness in winter.B. Increased appetite in winter.C. Longer sleep hours in winter.D. Decreased temperature in winter.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。In recent years, thrift shopping(买二手货) has become quite trendy.
