All but a handful of states would have worse air quality and flooding. It predicts an increase in diseases spread by tainted (腐烂的) food, bad water and bugs (臭虫).The report concludes that climate change causes real risk to human health and human system that supports the way of life in the United States. Man-made global warming is caused by greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels. At current emission (放射) levels, global temperatures are likely to rise by about 2 degrees by midcentury and about 7.5 degrees by the end of the century. The most vulnerable (脆弱的) Americans the poor, elderly, sick, very young and immigrants will suffer more. Thats at least 10 percent of the countrys population, probably more. It will be tougher for these people to get enough health care for climate-related illnesses, to cool down in heat waves, to escape extreme events such as Hurricane Katrina, and even to get enough food. While every region of America is vulnerable to global warmings health and welfare effects, more people are moving to coastal regions, which are most vulnerable to climate change because of drought and hurricanes.25. According to the report, we learn all of the following will risk humans health EXCEPT _. A. heat waves and drought B. increase in the number of bugsC. reduction in carbon dioxide emissions D. global warming and climate change26. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. All of states would suffer flooding. B. Air quality in few states is not high. C. About half of all states would have clear air. D. Flooding would occur in almost all the states.27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Global warming is caused by human beings. B. It is wise for the Americans to move into coastal regions.C. Global temperatures are increasing year by year because of carbon dioxide. D. At least one tenth of Americans are more likely to suffer climate-related illnesses.28. The writer wrote this passage to _.A. explain how the phenomenon of global warming forms B. protect the vulnerable Americans from suffering from diseasesC. provide evidence that global warming and climate change risk humans healthD. warn every American of the danger of global warming to their healthCI love charity shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you wont find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charitys appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful that it had been flooded with donations. They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find childrens books, all 10 or 20 pence each.Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they dont encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.The shops have very low running costs, and all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than 110 million a year, funding medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better places to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and step lightly on the environment.29. The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _.A. its convenient location B. its great variety of goodsC. its spirit of goodwill D. its nice shopping environment30. The first charity shop in the UK was set up to _ .A. sell cheap products B. deal with unwanted thingsC. raise money for patients D. help a foreign country31. Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops? A. The operating costs are very low. B. The staff are usually well paid.C. 90% of the donations are second-hand.D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.DWhy does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but theres no doubt Napoleon was a major influence. The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, followed their left-hand tradition.The U.S. has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift (改变) to the right. A driver would sit on the rear (后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip (鞭子) with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they travelled on the right.One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left ( the reason was stated in a 1908 catalog: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially if there is a lady to be considered).Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970.The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western worlds few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者).Several Asian nations, including Japan, use the left as wellthough many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.32. Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?A. They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century.B. Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.C. Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.D. Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition.33. Of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is _.A. Austria B. EnglandC. JapanD. Australia34. Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left _.A. in order to change traffic directions in the U.S.B. so that passengers could get off convenientlyC. because rules at that time werent perfectD. though many countries were strongly against that35. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Before the French Revolution, all the French people used the right.B. People in Britain and the U.S. travel on the same side nowadays.C. The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.D. All the Asian nations use the left at present.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 36 Try the following steps:Calm yourself. 37 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Dont wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. 38 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. 39 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view.Dont forget to forgive yourself. 40 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. How should you start to forgive?C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. Try to see things from your offenders angle.E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The family had just moved.
