　　With an eye for style and a heart for the environment, 18－year－old Alexis Giger launched a do－it－yourself blog aimed at “reducing your environmental impact fashionably”．

　　The idea was sparked (激发) by the ecology unit in her biology class at Charlotte Latin School last year，she said,

　　which taught her about issues like deforestation and habitat destruction.“I started thinking about what I could do to stop the wastefulness in my immediate community，” the fashion lover said.

　　“The blog, ecouturieracg.wordpress.com, aims to make reusing thrift store (旧 finds or last season's pieces easy and fashionable while cutting down on the resources consumed by garment production，” Alexis said.Through online research, she discovered that a simple cottonT－shirt takes more than 700 gallons of water to make.

　　“It made me realize that the fashion industry consumes huge amounts of natural resources as it relies on producing garments quickly and in large supply—many of the garments are only intended to be worn three or four times，” she said.

　　Alexis had a number of tools to help her get started.Her mom, Kimberly, taught her to sew when she was 5.Her grandmother taught her to crochet (钩边) around the same time.Alexis said she also gained technical knowledge and inspiration from her part－time job at a clothing company that creates theater wardrobes for schools and drama productions.

　　Prior to the blog launch, she spent several months illustrating “recycling” projects by creating photo tutorials.Though Ecouturier hasn't been online long, she's been getting positive feedback．“I've had people come up to me in the hall and say，‘Hey, I saw your blog.I'm working on one of the projects right now, ’” Alexis said.

　　She said she hasn't bought a brand－new piece of clothing since last July, and her thrift store shopping has paid off with finds such as a $5 (31 yuan) dress she wore to homecoming.

　　“Taking an hour from Saturday afternoon to make something for yourself can really have an impact on the environment.A little change every day can really add up，” Alexis said.

　　阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：说明文　话题：时间的320　时间：5′

　　Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us.Physicists have created_fascinating theories,but their time__is__measured__by__a__pendulum__(钟摆) and is not__psychological time,__which__leaps__with_little_regard_to_the_clock_or_calendar.As someone who understood the distinction observed, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”

　　Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age.They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass.For example, a days at the office flies compared with a days at the beach.Since most of us spend fewer day at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured time could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older.

　　Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly.Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we've never been before.Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no idea of when we'll arrive, we experience the trip for a long time.But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time.The novelty of the journey has become routine.Thus, taking a different route sometimes can often help slow the clock.

　　When days become as similar as beads (小珠子) on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day.To handle this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day—to stop time.

　　Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passing of time.One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery.For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn't have to be.

　　【语篇解读】　文章先讲述了人们感受到的时间快慢与物理上的时间是有所不同的，并举例说明，且提出了一些能“减缓”时间的办法。

　　1．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is used to show ________．

　　A. physical time is different from psychological time

　　B．time should not be measured by a pendulum

　　C．psychological time is quite puzzling

　　D．physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time

　　2．Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?

　　A．Our sense of time changes.

　　B．We spend less time at the beach.

　　C．We have too many appointments.

　　D．More time is structured and scheduled.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。由第二段最后一句可知“随着我们的成长，我们觉得时间过得越来越快其实是因为我们的计划好的时间增多了”，故选D。]

　　3．In Paragraph 3 “novelty” probably means ________．

　　A．unfamiliarity

　　B．excitement

　　C．imagination

　　D．amusement

　　答案　A　[词义猜测题。由第三段第二句可知，这条路我们从来没来过，所以是陌生的。]

　　．Which statement is TRUE according to the article?

　　A．Expectation makes time seem to run slowly.

　　B．Sitting with a pretty girl always makes time flow fast.

　　C．A day at the office is longer than a day at the beach.

　　D．Learning a new language is a good way to slow time.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。由最后一段第一句可知“学习一些新的东西是减缓时间的一种方法”，故选D。]

　　．The purpose of the passage is to ________．

　　A．describe how we experience time psychologically

　　B．explain why time flies and how to slow it down psychologically

　　C．show the different ideas of physicists and psychologists on time

　　D．give various explanations about time

　　答案　B　[主旨大意阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：说明文　话题：全球变暖　词数：350　时间：6′

　　The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals.

　　Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas.Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way.Whales and turtles (海龟) cover vast areas of ocean.The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm.“Obviously these animals have developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years.But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough，” said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth.Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles.Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones.In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says.It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.

　　With birds, the main problem is climate－related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way.About one－fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate－related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes.

　　Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include：the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and the White－Nose Dolphin, which is out－competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.The report is not all bad news.Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover.“We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level.The clock is running.”， said Dr Hepworth.And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.

　　【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了全球变暖对迁徙动物的影响。

　　1．What is the main topic of the text?

　　A．The effect of climate change on migrating animals.

　　B.How animals are adapting to changes in temperature.

　　C．The actions required to save migrating animals.

　　D．The need for government policies to prevent global warming.

　　答案　A　[主旨大意题。根据文章大意，本文主要讲述了温度上升对迁徙动物的影响，故选A。]

　　2．By saying “the clock is running” in the last paragraph, Dr Hepworth means that “________”．

　　A．it may be too late to save some animals

　　B．it is time to start protecting the animals

　　C．there is not much time to solve the problem

　　D．it takes time to complete the actions

　　答案　C　[短语猜测题。根据前文说的“we need governments to start taking actions at the national and international level”可知作者认为政府应该采取行动解决这个问题，所以接下来这句话应该是进一步强调时间的紧迫性的，故选C。这里面要解决的根本问题是环境问题，不是保护动物的问题，故B项错误。]

　　3．According to the report, how will global warming affect turtles in the future?

　　A．They will only produce female babies.

　　B．Their food supply will gradually disappear.

　　C．Some will suffer from higher rates of cancer.

　　D．They will be in greater danger because of more violent storms.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据文中第二段最后一句话“It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.”可知水温升高导致海龟得癌症的可能性升高，故选C。文中只是说female egg会多于male egg，不是说只产female egg，故A项错误。]

　　4Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures?

　　A．More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds.

　　B．20 percent of all birds are likely to die out because of land loss.

　　C．Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly.

　　D．Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据文中倒数第一段第一句话“the White－Nose dolphin which is out－competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters”可知，水温升高使海豚之间的竞争更加激烈，故选D。]

　　5．What can be inferred about turtles from the text?

　　A．They are the only animals besides humans that suffer from cancer.

　　B．They have traditionally lived longer than other ocean－based animals.

　　C．Those born nearer a hotter area are more likely to be female.

　　D．Most kinds of turtles are likely to die out within 50 years.

　　答案　C　[推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句可知，高温使得海龟的雌性后代增加，由此可以判断在高温环境下出生的后代更可能是雌性的，故选C。]
