         English families face being limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year. Households throwing away
    more waste will have to take it to the tip (垃圾站) or buy a limited number of extra bags.
         Doretta Cocks, protester of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collections, said, "They must
    think we are fools. How can they claim to be concerned for the environment when they tell people
    to drive to the local tip? And what do you do if you don't have a car? Walk?"
         The plan ignores the voice from ministers to end such heavy-handedness (笨拙).
         It is to be carried out by the Tory-led council (市政厅) in Wokingham, Berkshire, and is
    already in operation in Brozbourne in Hertfordshire.
         Many of the 180 councils that still offer unlimited weekly rubbish collections are watching the
    trial.
        Wokingham officials have told residents that 75-litre bags will be given to each household and
    anything not left in them will not be collected.
        "Every household will receive 80 bags every year," it said. "You can buy extra bags in rolls of
    ten but this will not be encouraged."
        Families of five will get 100 rubbish bags a year and households of six or more will get 120.
        Residents will have a weekly recycling collection limited to cans, paper and cards, plastic bottles
    and so on.
        Plastic packaging and glass including bottles must either go with the general waste or be taken to
    recycling points. Green waste pick-ups cost an extra £60 a year.
        The council has told residents it will save £922,000 a year under the new system. There will be
    no local consultation (商讨) before it is introduced next April.
    1. What'  Doretta Cock's attitude towards the new plan?
    A. Satisfied.
    B. Curious.
    C. Angry.
    D. Interested.
    2. What does the underlined word "this" refer to in the seventh paragraph?

    A. Receiving 80 rubbish bags every year.      
    B. Buying extra bags every year.
    C. Driving to city tips.                    
    D. Getting 100 rubbish bags a year.

    3. It can be learned from the passage that         .
    A. the new plan is agreed by most ministers
    B. the new plan will waste a lot of money
    C. the government has asked for much advice of the new plan
    D. the new plan does not necessarily do good to the environment
    4. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
    A. English families are limited to 80 bags of rubbish a year
    B. English families can't clear away their rubbish
    C. English families are angry with their government
    D. English government pays no attention to residents' interest

         Man, a land animal. But he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the
    needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the
    world. Today, nearly two-thirds of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
        In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources
    on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man's needs.
        The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is big. Oil and gas explorations
    have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready
    to be mined.
        Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and
    shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people, including people
    in China.
        Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm
    temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and
    waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
        Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong,
    new materials has made this possible.
    The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the
    problems that prevent us from exploiting (开发) fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea
    will be largely solved.
    1. The major things that the sea offers man are _________.  
    A. fish and oil                          
    B. minerals and oil
    C. warm temperature and ocean currents      
    D. the food, energy sources, and minerals
    2. We can conclude from this passage that _________.  
    A. the sea resources have largely been used up
    B. the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed 
    C. the problems preventing our using the resources of the sea have already been solved.
    D. by the year 2020, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources.
    3. The underlined words "Oriental people" in the fourth paragraph probably mean _________.
    A. the people in Asia

         Galaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when
    she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He
    told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she
    served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute (聋哑) school. Then she showed the woman the direction and
    left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.
        She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail
    sincerely. They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only
    communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.
        Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a
    bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, "Are you willing to be my girlfriend?" Galaxy was pleasantly
    surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.
        As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy
    explained, "Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards
    life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100% better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is
    still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love."
        Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later.
    When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ''I'm going to tell your parents I'll be looking after you well with all my life!" Galaxy was deeply moved.
        As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ''This is Kazrim." Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her
    in his arms tightly.
        He said, "YOU CAN TALK?" It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.
        The four people were shocked all of a sudden. As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply.
    1. How did Galaxy and Kazrim get to know each other?
    A. They met each other by chance.    
    B. They were introduced to each other.
    C. They once studied at the same university.  
    D. They both served in a special needs school.
    2. How did Galaxy probably communicate with Kazrim before she took him home?

    A. Writing words on paper.    
    B. Using the sign language. 
    C. Judging from his expression.  
    D. Speaking her native language.

    3 What did Galaxy expect her parents to do?
    A. To have a talk with Kazrim.    
    B. To prepare for her marriage.
    C. To treat Kazrim as a normal man.
    D. To accept Kazrim as her boyfriend.
    4 What can we learn about the two young people from the passage? 
    A. They fell in love at the first sight.    
    B. They cheated each other to win love. 
    C. They mistook each other for being mutes.
    D. They ignored the anger of Galaxy's parents.

        Duke Ellington is known as one of the most important composers of his time, and his work has been
    enjoyed for more than 80 years by music lovers all over the world. During his lifetime Ellington turned
    musical sounds into many compositions, mostly in the style known as jazz.
         The Early Years
         Edward Kennedy Ellington was born in 1899 in Washington, D. C. It wasn't until Ellington was a
    teenager that his interest in music grew. He taught himself to play the piano by listening to local piano
    players. Sometime around 1916 Ellington began playing the piano at high school parties. Ellington realized
    that he enjoyed entertaining people with his music. He soon became a very popular musician, playing at
    parties and other events in the Washington area. Young adults seemed especially delighted by the modern pieces he composed.
        Success in New York
         In 1923, when Ellington was almost 24 years old, he joined The Washingtonians, a five-piece group
    of musicians in Washington, and became the group's leader in early 1924. In 1927 Ellington and his
    orchestra won an engagement (雇佣期) at Harlem's famous Cotton Club. For the next three years, his
    orchestra played at the Cotton Club nearly every night.
        The Influence of the Cotton Club
        Working at the Cotton Club encouraged Ellington's creativity. Since the shows changed every six
    months, he was challenged by the need to continually develop new material. He had to compose a wide
    variety of music to accompany the various acts in the Cotton Club shows and to adapt that music to the
    strengths and weaknesses of the players in his orchestra.
         By 1928 the popular nightspot began radio broadcasts. From the broadcasts Ellington and his
    orchestra gained a national reputation.
        On the Road
         As Ellington's popularity increased, he realized that his orchestra could do well on concert tours. They
    left the Cotton Club in 1931 and toured America and Europe almost continually for the next 43 years. In
    addition to touring, Ellington made recordings and continued to compose music.
         Duke Ellington played the piano, composed music, and led his famous orchestra for more than 50
    years, until his death in 1974. Music lovers all over the world agree that the large quantity of music he
    created will be enjoyed for many years to come.
