19、選項，并在答題 卡上將該項涂黑。ADear Sir,There is a plan to build a new supermarket on the edge of the Whitefields housing estate 住宅區(qū),on the land where the local library nowis. I live at Whitefields, and I would like to express my concern about this pla n. It is not that I am completely aga inst the idea of build

20、ing a supermarket I just think that asa community 社區(qū) we need to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages beforecommitti ng ourselves.It is clear that the library is under-used and in poor condition. It is also clear that there are very few shops near here and a supermarket would be a good thing to

21、have. But the people who want to build the supermarket seem to thi nk that no one wants the library any more, andthat it isn ' t a must because ofthe In ternet and so on. Is this n ecessarily true, especially for elderly people? What about young people who don ' t have the Internet at home a

22、nd need to go to the library to do their homework?Where can they study if they have to share a room with a youn ger brother or sister?On the other hand, there is an argument that a new supermarket would not only bring more choice of shopp ing and more convenience for local people, but it would also

23、bring somemuch-needed jobs for younger people in the town and this is a good point. What we n eed to do is con sider the effect a supermarket will have on our quality of life. Certainly local people, including me, will find shopping a lot easier and more convenient. But there will also be extra traf

24、fic. In a few years from now, the roads in and around will be full of cars in the daytime and delivery lorries at night, and not only that we will have got used to L, too. Are more jobs and more convenience worth such an in flue nee on our daily lives? Perhaps, but this is what we have to ask oursel

25、ves.I believe that all the people of Whitefields, and the authority, need to discuss this question in an open-minded way and I hope that by the time a decision is take n, we will have had a full and fair discussi on of the issues invo Ived, and that the local authority will have really liste ned to

26、every one' s view.Is that too much to ask?Yours faithfully,Tom Watki ns36. The supporters of the supermarket probably think.A. the library is no Ion ger n eededB. the library is too poorto be rebuiltC. the supermarket brings dow n goods priceD. supermarketin creases local workers ' in comeA.

Why is the letter written?A. To promote effective public reading.B. To call for concernover an urban project.C. To

28、 discuss ways of improving life quality.D. To expressdissatisfaction with public equipment.BMost kids love breaks, but for HannahKristan, a break was her least favorite part of the school day.“Inever got to do anything except sit there, sherecalls.Hannahwas born with a disease that kept the bones in

29、 her back from forming properly. She uses a wheelchair. Sadly, for kids like her, most playground equipment is off limits. In fact, Hannah is one of 5 million kids in the United States who cannot use traditional playground equipment because of some type of disability.Then Hannah heard about Boundles

30、s Playgrounds playgrounds without limits for children with disabilities. The wonderful group behind Boundless Playgrounds helps communitiescreate special playgrounds for children of all abilities. There are swings and sandboxes specially designed for kids with physical disabilities. Kids with vision

31、 problems can enjoy the movement of swings and also use musical activities such as chime walls. Since her hometown in Connecticut had nothing like it, Hannahhelped raise moneyfor this new kind of playground.The inspiration for Boundless Playgrounds was a playground created by Amy Jaffe Barzach. It i

32、s named Jonathan 's Dream in honor of her son. Jonathan'sDream and many Boundless Playgrounds around the country have a glider swing that can be used by kids who use wheelchairs and their friends. The glider swing at Jonathan 's Dreamwas designed by Matthew Cavedon, who wasn't even 1

33、0 years old at the time. Matthew was motivated because he used a wheelchair himself and wanted to be able to have fun at playgrounds with other kids, regardless of their physical abilities or disabilities.The basic idea behind Boundless Playground is that play is both part of the joy of childhood an

34、d an important way for children to learn about the world. Kids who are kept away from playgrounds are denied this enjoyment as well as the learning. Far from being a place of happy excitement, traditional playgrounds are often places of separation and loneliness for those who can't join in the f

35、un.Con trary to some strict ideas about what a playgro und for childre n with special n eeds should be like, a Boun dless Playgro und is every bit as colorful and challenging as a traditional playground. That' s why it is inviting andfun for all childre n. And for Hanna, Matthew, and other kids

39、ll makes you want to are com monly known asearworm songs those sticky tunes that continue to play in your head. A recent study finds that more than 90% of adults report heari ng earworm songs on a weekly basis.Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying o

40、r even maddening. “Somepeople are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life, says Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, a professor at theUn iversity of Arka nsas who has studied earworm son gs.Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thi ng, they tend to b

41、e small parts of a song not the whole track. And“the songs you ' ve heard recently also have the most possibilityto get stuck in your memory, she says.But sometimes someth ing stra nge and un predictable can also start a track playing in your head. “Once I was at the doctor ' s office and sa

42、w a poster of a manwho I thought looked like Gast ona character from Beauty and the Beast, Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and she realized shecouldn ' t get“Be Our Guest , the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadn' t thought of the tune in years. In that in sta

43、 nee, she was able to ide ntify her earworm' s trigger : the Gast on -looki ng manin the poster. “ But the conn ecti ons can be really unclear, she says.Margulis points out that, in all of humanhistory, recorded music is a very newphenomenon.She says somehave inferred that earworm songs are also

44、 newthe unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why humanbeings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs.“ Findin

45、g a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts attention away from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks that don't require their full attentionstuff like doingthe dishe s, Margulis says.Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our he

46、ads, it's almostlike we 're singing along with it. If you make your mouth do something else chewing gum, eating a meal or talking with a friend that can kick outthe earworm.You could also face your enemy. By listening to the full track that includes the passage stuck in your head, you may fi

With rapid growth in the number of passengers, the number of cruise ships at sea, and the increased variety of destinations, the

50、fast growth in the industry follows with increasing influences on the environment.Like manytravel industries, the negative influences on the environment seem to outweigh the positive ones. Even though the cruise industry is relatively small compared to the airline industry, cruise ships and their pa

51、ssengersgenerate more waste and pollutant emissions 排放物 while travelling and docked in port. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a one-week voyage generates more than 50 tons of garbage, and during that same week million litres of waste water is produced. That is water wh

52、ich is harmful to the ocean life and cannot be poured back into the ocean without being treated. These numbers are multiplied by more than 200 cruise ships sailing the world 365 days a year.Due to pollution, coral reefs珊瑚礁 are taking a significant damage.There are 109 countries with coral reefs. In

53、90 of them, reefs are being damaged by cruise ships. It is said 70% of cruise destinations are in the spots with the existence of a wide variety of sea plants and animal species.However, it is not the amount of pollutiongenerated by cruise ships thatis most concerned, but rather, the way cruise ship

54、s deal with their waste. The way cruise ships get rid of waste is highly unregulated. Waste can be poured a few short miles off shore, which is later brought back to shore due to ocean currents. In most cases, there was no monitoring or administration from local authorities if cruise ships violated

55、the pollution standards. The cruise industry continues to promote itself as environmentally friendly; the truthis, there are many examples of cruise ships breaking the law.Processing waste onboard is not impossible for cruise industries. Since the increased harmful effects on the environment have co

56、me to light, some cruise industries have done their part and as technology increases, their ability to become more eco-friendly has become the most important.Holland American Line has invested $ million into a program called Seawater Scrubber Pilot. This program looks for opportunities to reduce eng

57、ine emission on its ships. The Sea Water Scrubber system uses the natural chemistry of seawater to remove all harmful materials in the seawaterbefore it is poured overboard. Even though it is only a small step, it makes a big difference.The environmental impact of the cruise industry on the destination has negative effects. However, with effort made, there is still hope that these effects can be limited, oras we wish, reduced.47. What ad ds to cruise ships' pollution?A. Lack of proper
