Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1Food production does great harm to our environment.There are many procedures involved in the manufacture of food that result in greenhouse gases and other pollutants.Some procedures require the consumption of large amounts of fossil fuels,such as the transportation and storage of food products.Other factors that cause great damage to our environment include the overuse of fresh water.The production of beef is more damaging to the environment than that of any other food we consume,Raising large numbers of cattle requires the production of large amounts of food for the animals.It9s estimated that producing one pound of beef requires seven pounds of feed.Land use is also a problem.If the cattle are free-range cattle,large areas of land are required for them to live on.This has led to disastrous forest cutting and the loss of rare plants and animal species,particularly in tropical rain forests in Central and South America.Another problem specific to beef production is methane emissions (甲烷排放).Although many people are aware of the damaging effects of carbon dioxide,they don't realize methane's global warming potential is 25 times worse,making it a more dire problem.Unfortunately,beef consumption is growing rapidly.This is the result of simple supply and demand factors.Specifically,there are two main causes of demand that are encouraging the production of more supply.First,the increase in the world population means there are more people to consume meat.The second factor is socioeconomic advancement.As citizens in developing nations become financially stable,they can afford to buy more meat.Therefore,one way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions is for people around the world to significantly cut down on the amount of beef they eat.1、Which of the following is TRUE?A. Raising free-range cattle is eco-friendly.B. People cut down trees for animal habitats.C. Producing beef can damage the environment.D. Carbon dioxide causes far more harm than methane.2、The underlined word “dire” in Para.4 means.A. urgentB. commonC. typicalD. avoidable3、Beef production is growing rapidly because.A. more people are in demand of beefB , developing countries raise more cattleC. more land is available to raise cattleD. the cost of raising cattle is relatively low4、The author writes this article to.A. describe the booming of the beef productionB emphasize the advantages of beef productionC. condemn the deforestation of the rain forestD. argue for a decrease in beef consumptionText 2When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around.“Hello?” she called. nCelia? Marie?nThere was no response.The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it "Forgotten Island11 because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends -her, Celia, and Marie.But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.“Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat." Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower.That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina had exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill （寒意）down her back.Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.1、What can be inferred about the island?A. It is very near the ocean.B. It is a popular place for boating.C. It is surrounded by thick forest.D. It has never been reached by others.2 Why did Lina get angry?A. Marie would not help row the boat.B. Lina was left alone on the island.C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat.D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.3、What caused Lina to feel a chill?A. Her shame about the unnecessary argument.B. The first raindrops of the approaching storm.C The idea that no one would come to save her.D. The drop in temperature as the sun went down.4、Who pulled Lina out of the water?A. Mariefs father.B. Lina herself.C. Marie.D. CeliA.Text 3We've all had cases where we've waited just a bit too long to pay an electric bill or speeding ticket. But one man, from California by reasonable assumption, who goes by “Dave”, recently took procrastination （拖延）one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a half-century after it was given.In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail. Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return address as "Wayward Road, Anytown California" under the name "Feeling guilty”.When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974. The note read, "Dear PD, I've been carrying this ticket around fbr 40 plus years always intending to pay. Forgive me if I don't give you my info. With respect, Dave.Even though the initial parking ticket was only fbr $2, “Dave” must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest.Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it were given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate.Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to out-of-state cars back then, "Dave" could have gotten away with never paying the $2 fine. But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.1、How much do we know about “Dave”?A. He lives in Wayward Road, Anytown California.B. The police are trying to find out more about him.C. His car probably came from Ohio at that time.D. “Dave” is of course the man's real name indeed.2、Why didn't "Dave" pay for the parking ticket until recently?A. He completely forgot about it in the past 44 years.B. He didn't find it until almost half a century later.C. He failed to find out who he should pay the money to.D. He didn't pay fbr it just because of procrastination.3、What drove "Dave" to pay fbr the parking ticket at last?A. A strong sense of guilt.B. Fear of being tracked by the police.C. Worry about being fined more.D. Sudden change of his financial situation.4、Which of the following can be the best title?A. Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department Shares a StoryB. Mysterious Procrastinator Finally Pays 44-Year-Old Parking TicketC. Unusual Letter Comes from Wayward Road, Anytown CaliforniaD. Parking Ticket Carried Around for Almost Half a Century from OhioText 4Every man dreams of having a good car.
