19、 new supermarket on the edge of the Whitefields housing estate （住宅區(qū)） , on the land where the local library now is. I live at Whitefields, and I would like to express my concern about this plan. It is not that I am completely against the idea of building a supermarket I just think that as a community

20、 （社區(qū)） we need to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages before committing 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 have. But the people who want to build the supe

21、rmarket seem to think that no one wants the library any more, and that it isn t a must becauseInotfetrhneet and so on. Is this necessarily true, especially for elderly people? What about young people who donInternet at hotmheavaendthneeed to go tothe library to do their homework? Where can they stud

22、y if they have to share a room with a younger brother or sister?On the other hand, there is an argument that a new supermarket would not only bring more choice of shopping and more convenience for local people, but it would also bring some much-needed jobs for younger people in the town and this is

23、a good point. What we need to do is consider 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 traffic. In a few years from now, the roads in and around will be full of ca

24、rs in the daytime and delivery lorries at night, and not only that we will have got used to it, too. Are more jobs and more convenience worth such an influence on our daily lives? Perhaps, but this is what we have to ask ourselves.I believe that all the people of Whitefields, and the authority, need

25、 to discuss this question in an open-minded wayand I hope that by the time a decision is taken, we will have had a full and fair discussion of the issues involved, and that the local authority will have really listened to everyone' s view. Is that too much to asYours faithfully,Tom Watkins36. Th

26、e supporters of the supermarket probably think.A. the library is no longer neededB. the library is too poor to be rebuiltC. the supermarket brings down goods priceD. supermarket increases local workers ' income37. What does the underlined "it " in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Shopping conve

27、nience.B. Job opportunity.C. Life quality.D. Traffic condition.38. What is the author ' s attitude toward the plan?A. Approving.B. Neutral.C. Sceptical.D. Confident.39. Why is the letter written?A. To promote effective public reading.B. To call for concern over an urban project.C. To discuss way

28、s of improving life quality.D. To express dissatisfaction with public equipment.BMost kids love breaks, but for Hannah Kristan, a break was her least favorite part of the school day. got to do anything except sit there,“ she recalls.Hannah was born with a disease that kept the bones in her back from

29、 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 Boundless Playgrounds p

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

31、njoy the movement of swings and also use musical activities such as chime walls. Since her hometown in Connecticut had nothing like it, Hannah helped raise money for this new kind of playground.The inspiration for Boundless Playgrounds was a playground created by Amy Jaffe Barzach. It is named Jonat

32、han 'Dssam in honor of her son. Jonathan 'Dseam 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 Dream was designed by Matthew Cavedon, who wasn' even 10 years old at the tim

33、e. Matthew was motivate d 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 and an important way fo

34、r 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 fun.Contrary to some stric

35、t ideas about what a playground for children with special needs should be like, a Boundless Playground is every bit as colorful and challenging as a traditional playground. Thatinvitingand fun for all children. And for Hanna, Matthew, and other kids like them, a playground like this is also a dream

36、that comes true.40. What did Hannah Kristan do?A. She designed Boundless Playground.B. She invented a swing for the disabled.C. She collected money for the playground.D. She donated equipment to her hometown.41. We can learn from the passage that Boundless Playgrounds .A. provide training instructio

37、ns for the disabledB. borrowed the idea from Jonathan am s DreC. were invented by Amy Jaffe BarzachD. are financed by communities42. What is Hanna and Matthew s dream?A. To overcome their disabilities.B. To receive special physical training.C. To get equal chances of playing and learning.D. To acqui

38、re understanding from their fellow students.CYou can t walk into the office without Rihanna s voice singing “ work work work work work workhead. And that one line from Lady Gaga Bad Romsan“ce ” still makes you want to scream. These are commonly known as earworm songs those sticky tunes that continue

39、 to play in your head. A recent study finds that more than 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis.Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying or even maddening.“ Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life,” s

40、ays Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulat the University of Arkansas who has studied earworm songs.Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing, they tend to be small parts of a song not the whole track. And “ the songs you ve heard recentlyhaavlseothe most possibil

41、ity to get stuck in your memory, ” she says.But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track playing in your head. “ Once I was at the doctor s office and saw a poster of a man who I thought looked like Gaston a character from Beauty and theBeast, “ Margulis recalls. A couple

42、 minutes passed, and she realized she couldn ' t geBe Our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadn ' t thought of the tune in years. In that instance, she was able to identify her earworm triggers : the Gaston-looking man in the poster." But the connections c

43、an be really unclear,she says.Margulis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new phenomenon. She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also new the unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again.

44、So far, the convincing explanation for why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs.“Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind o n it usually shifts attention away from internal music. People tend to

45、 get earworms when performing tasks that don' t require thsirffulkattenngnthe dishes, “ Margulis says.Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our heads, it' s almost like we ' re singing <you make your mouth do something else chewing gum, eating a meal or talking with a fri

46、end that can kick out the earworm.You could also face your enemy. By listening to the full track that includes the passage stuck in your head, you may find “ closure " and relief.43. Which of the following is most likely to be an earworm song?A. A song made up of simple words.B. A song heard fr

47、equently these days.C. A song sung by a most famous singer.D. A song learned during one ' s childhood.44. What does the underlined worda trigger"4 mePa?agraphA. Type.B. Tune.C. Cause.D. Characteristic.45. We can infer that earworm songs may.A. result from modern technologyB. be experienced

48、over mealsC. help regain lost memoriesD. hurt one's hearing46. What is mainly talked about in the last three paragraphs?A. Why we hear earworm songs.B. Where to find earworm songs.C. When we hear earworm songs.D. How to get over earworm songs.DThe cruise （郵輪） tourism is the fastest growing indus

49、try in the travel industry. With rapid growth in the number of passengers, the number of cruise ships at sea, and the increased variety of destinations, the fast growth in the industry follows with increasing influences on the environment.Like many travel industries, the negative influences on the e

50、nvironment seem to outweigh the positive ones.Even though the cruise industry is relatively small compared to the airline industry, cruise ships and their passengers generate more waste and pollutant emissions （排放物）while travelling and docked in port. Accordingto te United States Environmental Prote

51、ction Agency, a one-week voyage generates more than 50 tons of garbage, and during that same week 3.78 million litres of waste water is produced. That is water which is harmful to the ocean life and cannot be poured back into the ocean without being treated. These numbers are multiplied by more than

52、 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 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 wi

53、de variety of sea plants and animal species.However, it is not the amount of pollution generated by cruise ships that is most concerned, but rather, the way cruise ships deal with their waste. The way cruise ships get rid of waste is highly unregulated. Waste can be poured a few short miles off shor

54、e, 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 the pollution standards. The cruise industry continues to promote itself as environmentally friendly; the truth is, there are many e

55、xamples of cruise ships breaking the law.Processing waste onboard is not impossible for cruise industries. Since the increased harmful effects on the environment have come to light, some cruise industries have done their part and as technology increases, their ability to become more eco-friendly has

56、 become the most important.Holland American Line has invested $1.5 million into a program called Seawater Scrubber Pilot. This program looks for opportunities to reduce engine emission on its ships. The Sea Water Scrubber system uses the natural chemistry of seawater to remove all harmful materials

57、in the seawater before 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, or as we wish, redu

Why did the author mention Holland American Line?A. To stress environmental protection matters.B. To evaluate the effects of natural chemistry.C. To introduce the Sea Water Scrubber system.D. To prove some anti-pollution measure works. 49. What is the
