It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
24. Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man’s job was bike racing.
B. They used it for work and daily life.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D. It was their only possession.
25. We can infer from the text that
.
A. life was hard for the young family.
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike
D. the couple worked 60 hours a week.
26. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From a newspaper.
B. From radio broadcasts.
C. From TV news.
D. From a stranger.
27. What do the couple learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of their bike.
C. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
D. News reports make people famous.
C
Going green seems to be a fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic (有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home- made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things-and help our planet.
28. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Keeping Open-Minded
B. Protecting the Planet
C. Going Green
D. Celebrating Our Green Year
29. It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because
.
A. they were expected to follow the green fad
B. they needed to perform unusual green tasks
C. they were unwilling to reduce their energy
D. they didn’t know how to educate other people
30. What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?
A. They sold their home-made food.
B. They ignored others’ ungreen behavior.
C. They chose better chemical cleaners.
D. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The couple may continue their project in the future.
B. The government will give support to the green project.
C. Some people disagree with the couple’s green ideas.
D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.
D
Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.
Nitrogen (氮) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi (真菌) networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元) in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.
Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on .which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.
“We didn’t take any notice of it” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.
32. The underlined sentence ‘"the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees
.
A. compete for survival
B. depend on each other
C. protect their own wealth
D. provide support for dying trees
33. “Mother trees” are extremely important because they
.
A. look the largest in size in the forest
B. know more about the complex “tree societies”
C. seem more likely to be cut down by humans
D. pass on nutrition to young trees
34. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to
.
A. how forestry industry develops
B. how trees grow old
C. how “tree societies” work
D. how young trees survive
35. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B. Young Trees Are .In Need Of Protection
C. Trees Contribute To Our Society
D. Trees Are More Awesome Than You Think

Film reviews of The Silver Glove
The Silver Bore
Daniel Jones
If you've ever seen a pirate film in the past, you can save your money. This is one of the most predictable films I have seen this year. The plot is totally unbelievable and the script is something very unprofessional out of filmmaker college.__36__ .Great support acting from the Frenchman Thierry Montpasse as the evil Captain Scar is the only striking aspect.
___37___
Angela Moore
I just loved this fast-moving pirate thriller. The story moves at dizzying speed from one terrifying battle scene to the next ___38___. Chief pirate, British actor Colin Williams, is given all the best, wittiest lines and the film has its share of laughs as well as scary moments. The storm scene at the beginning leaves you both exhausted and terrified.
A Hidden Treasure
Max Court
I found this film absolutely delightful. An inspiring cast is directed with great skill and invention by German Dieter Muller. The ship chase creates a lot of tension and excitement.___39___. Mystery lovers will expect their appetites to be fully satisfied.
Sharp Sword Drama
William Wilson
The Silver Glove is an action-packed pirate drama in the best traditions of this type. If you only want sword fights and buried treasure, you may be disappointed as this fascinating film also offers a complex plot which is never dull. Some of the language may be too crude for younger children, ___40___ . But this is really my only complaint. Some fine acting completes this fun movie.
Glove Sinks In The Sea B. There are plenty of surprises in the story to keep the audience guessing until the last minute. C. There is some nice photography of film making, but the Hawaiian scenery is not enough to save this film. D. which may be regarded as a warning for parents E. and you really feel as if you are on the ships with these evil thieves and smugglers F. Pirates At The Speed Of Light
G. and you knew what was going to happen in the film

Of the many interactions I had with my mother those many years ago,one stands out with clarity（明理）.I remember the_41_when mother sent me to the main road,about twenty yards away from our home,to_42_a passing group of seasonal work-seekers home for a_43_.She instructed me to take a container along and_44_dry cow waste for making a fire.I was then to_45_the meal for the group of work-seekers.

Had I_58_to provide this group of people a meal,it may have happened that,in my travels some time in the future,I_59_myself at the mercy of those very individuals.As if that was not enough to_60_me,mother continued, "Motho ke motho ka motho yo mongwe."The literal meaning:“A person is a person because of another person.”

Do you have cellphone? Do you like talking over the phone loudly in publicly? Yesterday, I went to school with a friend by bus. After I was sitting on the bus, a middle-aged man came over and sat besides me. Ten minutes later, his phone rang. I took it out and answered the call. To my surprises, he talked loudly as if nobody was around. It was so annoyed that some people turned around and looked into him, but he didn’t seem to mind it at all. Talk over the phone loudly in public isn’t a good habit. I did hope such people will change.

Dear Jack，
How are you getting along with your learning Chinese? I am glad to hear that you have also watched the Chinese Poetry Conference — a hot game shows that tests competitor’s memory and reciting of Chinese poetry. I’m excited to learn Chinese poetry interests you greatly. I am sure that you are eager to know who is my favorite Chinese poet. Well, Li Bai, a poet in Tang Dynasty is my favorite. I like his poems best, which are full of imagination and wonderful description. He stands out among all the Chinese poets. His works have been translated into many languages. By the way, welcome to China and you can experience Chinese cultures in person.
I’m looking forward to receiving your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
