   The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. I often hear grown-up people say, “ I could not pay attention to the book, although I wished to do so”. The reason is that the habit was not  25  in youth.

   If I were a boy over again, I’d cultivate courage. Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage; nothing is so cruel and pitiless as cowardice. Life is very much like a  29  ; if you smile upon it, it smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a  30  look in return.

三、阅读 （共两节，满分40分）

  第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

                        A

In China, environmental protection is an increasingly pressing issue. Not only are pollution and ecological degradation becoming even more serious, but also people are more and more unsatisfied about the situation. The speed with which we are polluting the environment far outstrips our efforts to clean it up. Why is this? The main problem lies in the lack of public participation in China.

The initial motivation for the world environmental protection movement came from the public, without their participation it would not exist.

But how can we promote public participation in environmental protection?

First of all, we must understand clearly that public participation is the right and interest of the people endowed by law. The government has the obligation to respond to and to protect this right. Public participation is not a charitable measure offered to the public by the government. Nor is it the old model of a mass movement driven by the government.

Secondly, environmental information must be made freely available. Disclosure is a tool for environmental management. We should recognize the public’s right to be informed about and to criticize environmental issues. By increasing the transparency of environmental information, the force of public opinion can put pressure on those who destroy the environment.

Thirdly, we must democratize decision-making on environmental issues. The Law on Evaluation of Environmental Effects, implemented on September 1 2003, is of great significance. It stipulates（规定，保证）that before approving any project that may affect the environment, the authorities must hold consultative meetings and public hearings to collect opinions from relevant organizations, experts and the public. The “environment interests” of Chinese citizens have, for the first time, been enshrined （铭记）in law.

China’s increasing public environmental awareness, especially among the younger generation, is a reflection of the progress of our socialist democracy and political civilization. It is the success of the concept of sustainable scientific development, and the hope for the future of the Chinese nation.

41. Environmental protection is an increasingly pressing issue in China, which statement is wrong about it?

A. Pollution and ecological degradation becomes even more serious.

B. The speed with which we are polluting the environment is much slower than that we clean it up.

C. Our production and consumption methods are too out of date, which cause pollution.

D. The lack of public participation in China makes environmental protection more difficult.

42. Why should the government protect the right of public participation?

A. Because public participation is the old model of a mass movement driven by the government.

B. Because public participation is a charitable measure offered to the public by the government.

C. Because the right of public participation is endowed by law and it can help protect the environment.

D. Because the force of public opinion can force those who destroy the environment to change their bad behavior.

43. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “transparency” in the fifth paragraph?

A. the quality of something that allows you to see through it.    B. quantity       C. mastery      D. knowledge

44. What can we learn from the Law on Evaluation of Environmental Effects in the sixth paragraph?

A. The public have the right to know, to understand and to supervise public policy related to their environment.

B. The public can’t take part in the decision-making process.

C. The right of the people’s participating in environmental protection is still not recognized by law.

D. Sometimes the authorities may not hold consultative meetings and public hearings to collect   before approving any project about the environment.

45. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. The bad affect of the lack of public participation in China.

B. The importance of the young taking part in environmental protection.

C. The importance of protecting the environment.

D. How can we promote public participation in environmental protection in China?

43. A  transparency 意为：“透明度”，此句意思是：通过增加环境信息的透明度，公众看法的力量会给那些破坏环境的人施加一些压力。A项意思是“透明度”。

44. A  A项的内容与第六段第三句法律规定的内容相一致。其余三项与法律规定不相符。

45. D  主旨概括题。短文的第三句是本文的主题句，概括出了文章大意。

B

Many people think that their professional success is solely dependent upon how well they personally perform. This view of a self-created destiny （命运，定数） has led to a work environment where collecting information secretly, refusing help and stepping on colleagues’ heads to get to the top become severe.
  But that is not the only way. In fact, the higher you rise on the common ladder, the more you realize that how well you do your job is in fact linked to how much you can get out of others and how well you can work with them toward a common goal. Here are some benefits of teamwork.

Working faster

It doesn't matter how smart or capable you are; if you work with others, you will find that the overall results come much faster.
  Initially, it may take more time to ensure that things are done properly. But if you work with the same team for some time, you will find that the performance gains start to kick in quickly.
  To get the best efforts and commitment out of your team members, try to align （使成一行） their goals with yours. Make it so that when you benefit, they do as well.

Building trust and communication

If you trust in them, they will trust in you. That is a golden rule of workplace relationships.  

Show your coworkers or staff that you believe in them and in the quality of their work. Trust is the first step in fostering better communication, and it allows you to maintain a greater awareness of what is going on.

Learning from others

When you are a young professional, there is always someone who is older and more experienced than you are. Just as you needed someone to teach you the ABCs as a child, there will be times in your career when you can benefit from the experience and teachings of others.
  Life is a learning process, and building new skills can open new opportunities for you.

46. Which is not the bad effect of the view of self-created destiny?

A. Collecting information secretly.

B. Refusing help.

C. Try to get help from the team members when in trouble.

D. Stepping on colleagues’ heads to get to the top.

47. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “kick in” in the fourth paragraph?

A. take effect                   B. hit with one’s foot 

C. remove by kicking        D. develop

48. The higher your position is, ______.

A. the more independent you are

B. the more you help others

C. the more easily to gain a goal using your own power.

D. the more you depend on others to achieve a common goal.

49. Which statement is wrong according to the passage?

A. How well you do your job is in fact linked to how much you can get from others

B. Put your goals ahead of your team members.

C. Trust is the first step in developing better communication.

D. you should learn from the experienced people.

50. What’s the best title of the passage?

C. Professional success depends on one’s own hard work

D. How to reach a common goal

【答案解析】  

46. C  第一段的第二句告诉我们A，B，D三项的内容都是“自己创造命运理念”的不良结果，故C项符合要求。

47. A  由此句推断：如果你和同一个小组共同工作一段时间，你很快就会发现合作所得开始显现出来。kick in 意为“生效，故A项正确。

48. D  短文的第二段说明：你的职位越高，你就会越多地意识到你工作好坏实际上与你从他人那里的所得及你与团队的合作程度有关。

49. B  由” Working faster” 部分的最后一段知：要想得到队员们的最大努力和承诺，你必须把他们的目标和你的目标看得一样重要。

50. A  主旨概括题。全文主要讲述了合作的种种益处，故A项正确。

C

Although steel is used in many things and is important, it can also have negative effects on the environment and human health. And apart from the positive reduce, re-use, and recycle trends, steel can contribute to many health issues and environmental damage due to the harmful substances produced during the process of steel making. These toxic substances lead to air pollution and illnesses.
  Every one of us uses stainless steel in our daily lives, in ordinary products like cookware.  But stainless steel can cause health problems when an abrasive material （研磨材料）is used to clean the pots and pans because scrubbing can release tiny amounts of toxic metals, chromium, and nickel. 
  The number one pollutant from steel production is a toxic dust.  When coal is burned, it forms sulphuric dioxide （二氧化硫）and dust, and when these mix with fog (water particles) sulphuric acids are produced in the air.  Large amounts of dust are produced during the milling process, which is hazardous because dust contains heavy metals such as lead, which can lead to brain damage, reproduction issues, and lung cancer. 
  Another major health issue in the manufacturing process is created by one of the most toxic chemicals, called dioxin, which is happens through burning waste—especially plastic. 
  Dioxin is known as a Class One carcinogen（致癌物质）.  It may not directly cause cancer, but it destroys the immune system’s ability to recognize cancerous cells, and also interferes with pregnancy, and can cause lung problems, diabetes, and breast cancer.
 The most serious health problem from working in an extremely hot environment is heat stroke and hyperpyrexia, which leads to complete or partial loss of consciousness.  These illnesses need to be treated immediately and if not treated, it can result in damage to the brain, kidneys, and heart. 

51. How does steel making bring about many health issues and environmental damage?

A. Steel making produces harmful substances.

B. Steel making can release tiny amounts of toxic metals, chromium, and nickel. 

C. Steel making produces harmful substances and great heat.

D. Steel making produces sulphuric dioxide）and dust.

52. How are sulphuric acids produced?

A. Sulphuric dioxide mixes with fog, then sulphuric acids are produced.

B. Sulphuric dioxide and dust mix with fog, then sulphuric acids are produced.

C. That lead is released into the air lead to sulphuric acids

D. That dioxin is released into the air lead to sulphuric acids

53. What chemical produced in the manufacturing process destroys the immune system’s ability to recognize cancerous cells?

A. Lead                           B. Dioxin  

C. Chromium and nickel.        D. Sulphuric dioxide

54. Which word(s) can replace the underlined word “hyperpyrexia” in the last paragraph?

A. headache                           B. water losing  

C. unconsciousness                        D. a high fever 

55. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. The bad effects on the environment and human health of the stainless steel and the process of steel making.

B. The bad effects on health and environment of the process of steel making.

C. How to solve the health issues and environmental damage caused by producing steel.

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But still other people control their anger. They cannot or will not express it.

Recently some doctors have found that people who express anger too often and violently become, in fact, more and not less angry. This can cause medical problems. Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who deep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. ”

b)避免因误解而造成的生气；

c)理性的对待别人的错误。

[写作要求]

你可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。

Doctors say anger can lead to serious diseases like heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and even cancer. Both controlling anger and express anger strongly can be harmful to your health.

As we know, getting angry not only does harm to one’s health but also has a bad effect on the relationship between people. Sometimes expressing anger too strongly can lead to severe results. However, in many cases, anger may be avoided if we can understand each other better. For instance, someone may have done something about which you are very angry, but in fact he/she meant no harm. So it is quite unnecessary for you to get angry. If someone does do some wrong, try to put yourself in his/her position and understand him/her. If you find it really necessary to express to anger, try to do it in a calm, reasonable way. Remember losing your temper does good to neither you nor the other person.
