Anyone who wanted to change something would get a list of signatures from

7、people who agreed to the idea and either send them to the government or deliver them personally to the Prime Ministers house in London . They are always accepted at the door by one of the PMS officials. What happens then? Nothing much, usually. But petitions have always been thought of as a useful w

8、ay for those who govern to find out what the people really think. Thats why the UK government launched its e-petition site in November 2006. Instead of physically collecting signatures, all anyone with an idea has to do now is to make a proposal on the government website, and anyone who supports the

9、 idea is free to add his or her signature. The petitions soon started to flow in. The idea was for the British people to express their constructive ideas. Many chose instead to express their sense of humor. One petitioner called on Tony Blair to stop the Deputy Prime Minister eating so much.Another

10、wanted to expel ( 驱逐 ) Scotland from the United Kingdom because Scottish football fans never support England in the World Cup. Other petitioners called on the Prime Minister to abolish the monarchy. Some wanted to give it more power. Some wanted to oppose the United States . Others wanted to leave t

11、he European Union. Some wanted to send more troops to Iraq and others wanted them all brought home. Some wanted to adopt the euro ( 欧元 ). Others wanted to keep the pound. Yet if some petitions are not serious, others present a direct challenge to government policy. A petition calling on the governme

12、nt to drop plans to charge drivers for using roads has already drawn around 1. 8 million signatures. In response to that, a rival petition has been posted in support of road pricing. And that is also rapidly growing. There are about 60 million people in Britain , so it is understandable that the gov

13、ernment wants to find out what people are thinking. But the problem with the e-petition site seems to be that the British people have about 70 million opinions, and want the Prime Minister to hear all of them. Perhaps he could start a petition asking everyone to just shut up for a while. A petition

14、needs to be signed. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 17、 The Prime Minister reads petitions every day. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 18、 A petition has to be mailed to the Prime Ministers house in London . A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 19、 Petitions have been taken to be one of the ways for the B

Our bodies are estimated to be about 60% to 70% water. Blood is mostly water, and our muscles, lungs, and brain all c

17、ontain a lot of water. Water is needed to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients ( 滋养物 ) to travel to all our organs.Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects our joints and organs. 2. We lose water through urination ( 排尿 ) , respiration ( 呼吸 ),

18、 and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you do not take much exercise. Symptoms of mild dehydration ( 脱水 ) include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain,headaches, and constipation ( 便秘 ). A strong smell to your urine, along with a yellow color indicates

19、that you are not getting enough water. Thirst is all obvious sign of dehydration and in fact, you need water long before you feel thirsty. 3. A good rule of thumb ( 好的做法 ) is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces ( 盎司 ) of water per da

20、y that you need. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds , you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. If you exercise you should drink another 8 ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink coffee or alcohol, you should add at least an equal amount of water. When yo

21、u are traveling on an airplane, it is good to have 8 ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane. 4. It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day.

22、If you get bored with plain water, add a bit of lemon for a touch of flavor. There are some brands of flavored water available, but some of them have sugar or artificial sweeteners that you dont need. 23、Paragraph 1 _ 24、Paragraph 2 _ 25、Paragraph 3 _ 26、Paragraph 4 _ A.Ounces of Water Needed Per Da

25、ound. Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town. For me, Parsons Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers. Its very quiet because th

26、ere are few houses or roads nearby. I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighborhood. I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the new houses travel to work? The motorway and the railway

27、 station are on the other side of town. Therefore, these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere. The roads will always be full of traffic, there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave. Shops and hotels will

28、lose business. If the town really needs more homes, the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place. To doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But, in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan. As well as this, we will

29、lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleaisant. I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there. We must make them stop this plan before it is too late. Why has Alan written this letter? A.To

30、persuade the government to build new houses. B.To protest about a new motorway near the town. C.To encourage more people in the town to use Parsons Place. D.To inform other people about the builders plans. 32、 Why is Parsons Place particularly important, in Alans opinion? A.Because it is near the fo

31、otball ground. B.Because lots of people live near it. C.Because it is a place near the town where people can enjoy nature. D.Because local people can get there easily by car from the town. 33、 What will cause traffic jams? A.A building on Parsons Place. B.Building near the railway station. C.Tourist

32、s in the narrow streets. D.People going to the shops and hotels. 34、 Alan says that ordinary people who live in the town will probably soon_ A.open new shops and hotels B.choose to live near the station C.be able to buy new homes D.have less money 35、 Which of these posters has Alan made? A.SAVE OUR

33、 SPORTS GROUND B.SAY NO TO HOUSES ON PARSONS PLACE C.WE NEED HOMES NOT HOTELS D.USE THE TRAIN NOT THE ROAD Gendergap The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto , California , all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are

34、victims of what the researchers call a major new gender ( 性别 ) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving,rather than to di

35、scover new ways in which to understand information. After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than bo

36、ys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom. An instructor of a computer lab says hes already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will h

37、arm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow. Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould says, The number one reason girls told us they dont like computer games is not that theyre too violent, or to

38、o competitive. Girls just said theyre incredibly boring. Purple Moon says it found what girls want, characters they can relate to and story lines relative to whats going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says, What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic

39、 ( 固有的 ) reason why they wouldnt want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing. The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century. Accordi

40、ng to the passage, girls are victims of the gender gap in technology because _ A.they can not discover new ways to use computers B.they have the same access to computers as boys C.they are likely to be less comfortable with computers D.they can only use computers for word processing 37、 The research

41、 on girls and computers is _ A.based on a few recent articles B.presented by one person C.based on thousands of studies D.not considered well grounded 38、 Girls often feel _ A.bored with computer games B.comfortable using computers C.it hard to use computers in word processing D.worried about using

42、computers 39、 The software company seems to think girls would be more interested if _ A.girls had an equal chance of playing games B.the software was more violent C.the software content was changed D.the character were funny 40、 The gender gap needs to be closed because _ A.it isnt fair that boys ar

43、e allowed to use computers all the time B.there isnt enough money for upgrading computers C.most of the causes may boil down to a question of money D.the ability to use computers is important in todays world Something about Vocation If you like to take lots of vacation, the United States is not the

44、place to work. Besides a handful of national holidays, the typical American worker gets two or three precious weeks off out of a whole year to relax and see the world-much less than what people in many other countries receive. And even that amount of vacation often comes with strings attached. So wh

45、ats going on here? A big reason for the difference is that paid time off is demanded by law in many parts of the world. Germany is among more than two dozen industrialized countries - from Australia to Japan - that require employers to offer four weeks or more of paid vacation to their workers, acco

46、rding to a 2009 study by the human resources consulting company Mercer. Finland , Brazil and France are the champions, guaranteeing six weeks of time off. But employers in the United States are not obliged under federal law to offer any paid vacation, so about a quarter of all American workers dont

47、have access to it, government figures show. That makes the U. S. the 0nly advanced nation in the world that doesnt guarantee its workers annual leave. Most U. S. companies, of course, do provide vacation as a way to attract and retain workers. But the fear of layoffs and the ever-faster pace of work

48、 mean many Americans are reluctant to be absent from the office-anxious that they might look like theyre not committed to their job. Or they worry they wont be able to cope with a pile of work waiting for them after a vacation. Then, theres the way we work. Working more makes Americans happier than

49、Europeans, according to a study published recently in the Journal of Happiness Studies. That may be because Americans believe more than Europeans do that hard work is associated with success. So despite research documenting the health and productivity benefits of taking time off, a long vacation can

50、 be undesirable, scary, unrealistic or just plain impossible for many U. S. workers. According to the passage, the United States is a nation _ A.that prefers relatively longer vacations B.that has fewer national holidays C.where workers do not have paid time off D.where employers are not required to

51、 offer paid vacation 42、 The phrase with strings attached (Para. 1 ) probably means “ _ ” A.with specified conditions B.with full freedom C.with many options D.with work in mind 43、 Which of the following countries offers the longest annual leave to its workers? A.Germany. B.Japan. C.France. D.Austr

52、alia . 44、 Many Americans are hesitant to take a vacation because they _ A.are afraid of losing their jobs B.enjoy the fast pace of work C.are devoted to their jobs D.like the challenges in work 45、 According to the author, Americans chance of taking a long vacation is _ A.uncertain B.slim C.good D.

Shortly after I began a career in business, I learned that Carl Weatherup, president of PepsiCo ( 百事可乐公司 ), was speaking at the University of Colorado. I tracked down the person han

54、dling his schedule and managed to get myself an appointment. (46) So there I was sitting outside the universitys auditorium, waiting for the president of PepsiCo. I could hear him talking to the students., and talking, and talking. (47) He was now five minutes over, which dropped my time with him do

55、wn to 10 minutes. Decision time. I wrote a note on the back of my business card, reminding him that he had a meeting.You have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2:30 pm. I took a deep breath, pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle ( 过道 ) toward him as he talked. Mr.

56、 Weatherup stopped. (48) Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the group that he was running late.
