C, , and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. Td read the signs: "Don't give money to beggars as most of them arc swindlers." So I shook my head and kept walking.I wasn't prepared for a reply, but with no hesitation, he followed me and said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.The incident kept bothering me for the rest of the week. 1 had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn't been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, no less, I assumed the worst of a fellow human being.Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him. 1 tried to reason my failure to help by supposing government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you're not supposed to give money to beggars.Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their gardens fbr Bean's? Plant a row for Bean's. It's clean and simple.Wc didn't keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. It's food fbr the spirit and comfort for my conscience(良知).In April 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America(GWAA) held their annual meeting in Anchorage and after learning our program, Plant a Row far Bean's became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The idea then was to have every member write or talk about planting a row for the hungry, which brought the program to national attention.As more and more people participated, new variations cropped up. Many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the program. Donations poured in. It was then that I could really stop feeling guilty.24. The underlined word “swindlers” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to.A. policemen B. writersC. cheatersD. beggars25. Why did the author think he assumed (he worst of a fellow human being?A. Because he didn,t show fair respect to a beggar treating him badly.B.

But, the fact is that it does affect mankind, other living forms and the environment as a whole.What is light pollution? It presents all forms of misused man-made light. The obvious cause of light pollution is the use of outdoor lighting products improperly. It can be office lighting, car headlights, station lights, streetlights and many more.Light pollution is harmful to both animals and plants. Upon studies, i（ is found that obvious effects are observed in the behaviour of animals that are active at night. Needless to mention, bright light at night makes it difficult fbr these animals to hunt, wander and perform their regular activities. Light pollution is directly or indirectly responsible for causing several diseases. Its effects are related to disturbance in the physical rhythm （节奏）.It contributes to risks of developing cancerous cells. So, it's nothing less than a threat to human health.You have already seen the negative effects of light pollution on animals and human health. Apart from this, the actual cost of misused light is about millions of dollars every year. It also leads to the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. After all, coal or gas is used for producing electricity.While outdoor lighting and using man-made lighting products arc part of our modern lifestyle, some simple ways will surely help in reducing light pollution. For example, while installing （安装）outdoor lighting, make sure that they are pointed downwards. Also, use only the required lighting equipment for both home and offices. Believe it or not, many people living in the urban areas cannot view clear sky and stars at night. Let's contribute our part in reducing the pollution.28. What can we learn about light pollution?A.

Avoid unnecessary lights at home and offices.D. Reduce money spent on light in urban areas.31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Citizens should be banned to install outdoor lighting.B. Only simple ways can help reduce light pollution.C. There is no clear sky or stars over the urban areas.D.

Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with (he latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-lo-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be good at new technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there's also a certain amount of control over privacy that wc don't get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a "fyiend” request from a parent or family member.It's a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don't want to “reject“ their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn't take it personally if their child ignores their request: " When a teen ignores a parent's friend request, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where (hey want to exert their independence.Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.32. Many parents teach themselves social networks because.A. they are not content with their daily lifeB. they regard social networks importantC. they are curious to explore new technologiesD. they want to view their children's online activities33. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents' request?A. They can't choose friends around them. B. They have nothing to hide.C. They don't want to teach their parents. D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so. 34. A recent sun ey suggested that.A. teens value their privacy and independenceB. a teen's rejection means they have something to hideC. a teen's rejection means nothing specialD. independence is everything teens desire35. What is most likely to be talked about next?A. How to bridge the generation gap.B. How to make friends on social networks.C. How to explain to parents about the rejection.D. How to use the social networking sites.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。Most travelers face the language difficulty in Italy nowadays.36There arc a fewthings that you should know before you step out of the airport.There*s no such thing as "Italian food".In Italy each area has its own personality, its own dialect, and its own food.37Getto know what's produced locally and what's in season, and you'll be eating the freshest and best of what that area has to offer.38Most Italians pay for things on a day-to-day basis with cash from their morning coffee to dinner.
