More than 27,000 people from around the UK set off at dawn from London to begin the cycle route through Surrey to the Sussex coast.

The annual 54-mile ride raises money for the British Heart Foundation(BHF) and is Europe’s largest charity cycling event. Cyclists began the exhausting journey at Clapham Common at 6 a. m. , hoping to reach Brighton seafront within an average of six hours.

Money from today's event will help the charity to continue its vital work through heart research and the development of its care and support services. Among those taking part was BBC Breakfast's resident(居民)Dr Rosemary Leonard and several colleagues.

BHF spokeswoman Gemma Cloke said, “It was quite cold this morning, but everyone set off without any problems.” Those taking part range in age from 14 to those in their 70s. Last year cyclists raised£4. 1 million for the charity, and have raised more than£50 million since the BHF became involved in the event in 1980. The first ride was held in 1976. It is hoped this year's fund raising total could reach£4. 5 million. She added : “We have a lot of people taking part, from the more experienced cyclists to those cycling with friends and family in memory of someone and to raise money through sponsorship.”

“People are always pleased knowing the money is going to a good cause. There is so much support along the route, with local residents watching the ride. ”

“One of the highlights for participants is coming along the seafront while people are clapping, which can really help when they've been in the saddle (自行车车座) for a long time. ” 60. What can we know about the cycling event from the text? A. It is the world’s largest charity cycling event. B. Cyclists may raise more money than last year. C. The first event was held by the BHF in 1980. D. The route of the event is 54 kilometers long.

Four million children are caught up in the war in Syria. Thirteen-year-old Rabia is one of them. Tall and thin, she sits shaking in a yellow T-shirt at the Al Marj settlement, close to the Lebanese-Syrian border.

Home for Rabia was once a two-story house near Damascus. Now it is a tent shared with her nine family members.

Rabia’s face is covered with dirt, and she is tired and cold. She has just finished work, picking up potatoes that fell from a truck. Her typical day starts at 4 a.m., and she works a double shift that lasts about 16 hours, putting potatoes into bags. The only choice for her is that she can choose the first eight hours or the second eight hours. For this, she gets paid about $8 a day. Working means Rabia misses school. Back in her village, she was the best in her class and good at everything. Her favorite subjects were Arabic literature and math. But, like many children now living in the settlements—there are no official refugee(难民)camps in Lebanon —that was Rabia’s old life. Life before war, before her family moved five times to escape the bombs, before leaving behind her bedroom, her toys and her friends without packing a bag, before “half the people I know” were dead.

The old life was full of laughter with her sister, Wala. But Wala, 14, got married two days ago to an 18-year-old Lebanese. Rabia is happy for her sister. Life in the settlement is tough— the children have nowhere to play, the bathing is poor and sexual abuse is out of control. You can’t blame parents —often confused, illiterate (不识字的)and poor—who want to marry off their daughters. They fear for their safety.

Increasing numbers of Rabia’s girlfriends are getting married. Once in rural Syria, a girl got married at 16. According to UNICEF, the age is now dropping to 12 or 13. It is no secret that Lebanese men want to marry Syrian refugee girls, who work hard and don’t ask for anything. 64. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

7

A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A history book. 65. The underlined word “shift” in Para. 3 probably refers to _____.

A. the extra task

D. A travel magazine.

B. the low pay C. the potato factory. D. the working period

66. The writer's purpose for writing Para. 4 is to ________.

A. present the dream of Rabia B. show the damage of the war C. predict the future of Syrian girls D. compare the life before war and now 67. Why are so many young Syrian girls getting married? A. They have no good friends to play with. B. They want money from the husband family. C. Their parents are worried about their safety. D. Their parents are confused,illiterate and poor.

D

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.

Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground. 68. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because . A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease

69. Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?

8

A. Afraid B. Curious C. Approving D. Uninterested 70. How does the passage mainly develop?

A. By providing examples B. By making comparisons

C. By following the order of time D. By following the order of importance 71. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A. To stress the role of dirt B. To introduce the history of dirt C. To call attention to the danger of dirt D. To present the change of views on dirt

E

When I was growing up in the suburbs of New York, our first local Earth Day was organized around a drive to a town field where families were urged to empty items from their basements (地下室)for recycling rather than dropping them in the dustbin. It was an eye opening idea for a kid in 1970.

But as an environmental reporter, I'm bored of the large amount of deals and promotions that arrive by email or in my office or home mailbox on Earth Day. Like Valentine's Day, Earth Day has become a huge marketing opportunity—a way to promote consumption.

In fact, Earth Day is such a good sales opportunity that some shops, like Target, have expanded Earth Day into Earth Month.

There isn't time to give you a variety of the Earth Day shopping opportunities I was informed of this past week. They included deals on buying bottled water and earth-friendly wipes. My award for the silliest promotion: a plan to gift 25 of the most environmentally conscious stars with unique, useful and “green” products and services, including skin care products, cheese- cake and artwork. My guess is most of the stuff will end up in celebrities' garbage.

Is buying and selling a good way to celebrate and protect the environment? I would argue that Earth Day might be an occasion to consider giving up purchases or habits that are environmentally questionable or that we could happily do without. How about not buying bottled water, but refilling a water bottle? How about not buying foods—even “organic” foods—that are packed in non-recyclable plastic?

Don't get me wrong. The company of Bridgestone is celebrating Earth Day by promising to repurpose a spent tire(利用废旧轮胎)for every tire that it sells. Verizon will plant a tree for each cell phone you trade in. Some coffee stores will even refill reusable cups at no charge. Target is giving out free reusable bags without requiring a purchase.

But few shopkeepers are taking the next step-charging a fee at the cash register for

disposable plastic bags, a common practice in Europe-to encourage customers to use those new reusable bags.

Earth Day is transient(短暂的). If you only showed love on Valentine's Day, would that

really mean anything at all?

72. The author's first local Earth Day was celebrated by ___________.

9

A. driving to the town field C. looking for good ideas for reuse

B. emptying waste for recycling D. clearing items from their basements

73. Why do some people expand Earth Day into Earth Month? A. Because many activities are organized for the day. B. Because they intend to make many sales strategies. C. Because they want to have more selling opportunities. D. Because they have to deal with too much waste.

74. According to the author, it's environmentally friendly to . A. buy packed organic foods C. refill water bottles

B. offer stars green products D. ask for free plastic bags

75. It could be inferred from the text that Bridgestone and Verizon .

A. are likely to misunderstand the author B. have a good way to celebrate Earth Day C. are devoted to making money on Earth Day D. make wrong promotion plans on Earth Day

第一节 任务型阅读(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。

We often see top students around us and everyone knows about them. Let us take Jenny as an example. She is the monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class. But she still gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that? When I asked her, she said, “Hard work is not the whole story. It’s not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It’s what you do while you are sitting.” Indeed, we can see many top students actually spend fewer hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable tips.

If your math teacher assigns five problems you should do six. If your Chinese teacher assigns eight pages of reading, you should read nine. The more you practice, the more you learn.

Studying is a matter of personal preference, so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. Still others like studying as soon as they arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way suits you, try to do your best.

Studying is your business and business comes before entertainment. When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks ignored. Studying is the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull your attention away from studying.

10

Studying is like eating, you chew it one bite at a time. You can plan what to today, but don’t do too much. When you can’t finish the work you planned to do, you will feel disappointed and may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you arrange your time.

The students who hand in a clearly written paper is already half way to an A. Neat papers are likely to get higher marks than sloppy ones. When you write neatly and do your work carefully, the thoughts in your mind are clear. You are able to avoid making some mistakes.

A survey suggests that more than 70 percent of children today have little contact with the natural world, and that this is having a huge impact on their health and development. I think it is time for us to take action against this trend and get close to nature.

When we are outdoors and in the natural world, we can not only breathe fresh air and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also broaden our horizons and develop new skills. There are many different ways we can get out into the natural world, such as backpacking, cycling, camping and mountaineering. Visiting farms is also a good way of getting out and about, as they are places where you can enrich your knowledge and enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables. Many people also find that playing sport outdoors is a good way of enjoying the open air while being part of a team.

Whatever you do, though, remember to stay safe. When you’re outside, it’s better to be accompanied by parents or friends.
