19、 涂黑。2分，共30分）A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项Dear Sir,There is a pla n to build a new supermarket on the edge of the Whitefields hous ing estate（住宅区），onthe landwhere the local library now is. I live at Whitefields, and I would like to express my concern about thispla n. It is notthat I am completely aga

20、inst the idea of building a supermarket I just think that as a community （社区） we n eedto weigh up the adva ntages and disadva ntages before committi ng ourselves.It is clear that the library is un der -used and in poor con diti on .It is also clear that there are very few shops n ear hereand a super

21、market would be a good thing to have. But the people who want to build the supermarket seem to thinkthat no one wants the library any more, and that it isnt a must because of the Internet and so on. Is thisn ecessarilytrue, especially for elderly people? What about you ng people who dont have the In

22、ternet at home andn eed to go tothe library to do their homework? Where can they study if they have to share a room with a younger brother orsister?On the other hand, there is an argume nt that a new supermarket would not only br ing more choice of shopp ing andmore convenience for local people, but

23、 it would also bring some much-needed jobs for younger peoplein thetown and this is a good point. What we n eed to do is con sider the effect a supermarket will have on our quality oflife. Certainly local people, including me, will find shopping a lot easier and more convenient. Butthere will alsobe

24、 extra traffic. In a few years from now, the roads in and around will be full of cars in the daytime and deliverylorries at night, and not only that we will have got used to it , too. Are more jobs and more convenience worth such an in flue nee on our daily lives? Perhaps, but this is what we have t

25、o ask ourselves.I believe that all the people of Whitefields, and the authority, need to discuss this question in anope n-min dedwayand I hope that by the time a decisi on is take n, we will have had a full and fair discussi on of the issuesin volved, and that the local authority will have really li

To express dissatisfaction with public equipment.BMost kids love breaks, but for Hannah Kristan, a break was her least favorite part of the school day.“ Inevergot to do anything except si

29、t there, ” she recalls.Hannah was born with a disease that kept the bones in her back from forming properly. She uses a wheelchair.Sadly, for kids like her, most playground equipment is off limits. In fact, Hannah is one of 5 million kids in theUnited States who cannot use traditional playground equ

30、ipment because of some type of disability.Then Hannah heard about Boundless Playgrounds playgrounds without limits for children with disabilities.The wonderful group behind Boundless Playgrounds helps communities create special playgrounds for children ofall abilities. There are swings and sandboxes

31、 specially designed for kids with physical disabilities. Kids with visionproblems can enjoy the movement of swings and also use musical activities such as chime walls. Since herhometown in Connecticut had nothing like it, Hannah helped raise money for this new kind of playground.The inspiration for

32、Boundless Playgrounds was a playground created by Amy Jaffe Barzach. It is namedJonathans Dream in honor of her son. Jonathans Dream and many Boundless Playgrounds around the countryhave a glider swing that can be used by kids who use wheelchairs and their friends. The glider swing at Jonathansdmoti

33、vatewas Matthew time. the at old years 10 even wasnt who Cavedon, Matthew by designed was Dreambecause he used a wheelchair himself and wanted to be able to have fun at playgrounds with other kids, regardlessof their physical abilities or disabilities.The basic idea behind Boundless Playground is th

34、at play is both part of the joy of childhood and an importantway for children to learn about the world. Kids who are kept away from playgrounds are denied this enjoyment aswell as the learning. Far from being a place of happy excitement, traditional playgrounds are often places of separation and lon

35、eliness for those who cant join in the fun.Contrary to some strict ideas about what a playground for children with special needs should be like, a Boundless Playground is every bit as colorful and challenging as a traditional playground. Thats why it is inviting and fun for all children. And for Han

36、na, Matthew, and other kids like them, a playground like this is also a dream that comes true.40. What did Hannah Kristan do?A. She designed Boundless Playground.B. She invented a swing for the disabled.C. She collected money for the playground.D. She donated equipment to her hometown.41. We can lea

To acquire understanding from their fellow students.CYou cant walk into the office without Rihannas voice singing “work work work work work work ” in yourhead. And that one line from Lady Gagas “Bad Romance ” still makes you want to

39、scream. These are commonlyknown as earworm songs those sticky tunes that continue to play in your head. A recent study finds that morethan 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis.Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying or even mad

40、dening.“ Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life, ” says Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, a professorat the University of Arkansas who has studied earworm songs.Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing, they tend to be small par

41、ts of a song not the whole track. And “ the songs youve heard recently also have the most possibility to get stuck in your memory, ” she says.But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track playing in your head. “ Once I was atBeauty and thea character from the doctors offic

A couple min utes passed, and she realized she could nt get “ Be OurGuest ” , the song inthe movie, out of her head, eve n though she had nt thought of the tune in years. In that in sta nee, she was able toiden ti

She says somehave in ferred that earworm songs are also new the uninten ded con seq

44、ue nee of being able to hear the same songplayed everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why huma n beingsexperienee earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well -established ways to cast off the earwormson gs.“ Finding a men tally dema ndin

49、.C. When we hear earworm songs.D. How to get over earworm songs.DThe cruise （邮轮） tourism is the fastest growing industry in the travel industry. With rapid growth in thenumber of passengers, the number of cruise ships at sea, and the increased variety of destinations, the fast growth inthe industry

50、follows with increasing influences on the environment.Like many travel industries, the negative influences on the environment seem to outweigh the positive ones.Even though the cruise industry is relatively small compared to the airline industry, cruise ships and theirpassengers generate more waste

51、and pollutant emissions（ 排放物） while travelling and docked in port. Accordingto the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a one -week voyage generates more than 50 tons of garbage,and during that same week 3.78 million litres of waste water is produced. That is water which is harmful to theo

52、cean life and cannot be poured back into the ocean without being treated. These numbers are multiplied by morethan 200 cruise ships sailing the world 365 days a year.Due to pollution, coral reefs （珊瑚礁） are taking a significant damage. There are 109 countries with coralreefs. In 90 of them, reefs are

53、 being damaged by cruise ships. It is said 70% of cruise destinations are in the spotswith the existence of a wide variety of sea plants and animal species.However, it is not the amount of pollution generated by cruise ships that is most concerned, but rather, the waycruise ships deal with their was

54、te. The way cruise ships get rid of waste is highly unregulated. Waste can be poureda few short miles off shore, which is later brought back to shore due to ocean currents. In most cases, there was nomonitoring or administration from local authorities if cruise ships violated the pollution standards

55、. The cruiseindustry continues to promote itself as environmentally friendly; the truth is, there are many examples of cruiseships breaking the law.Processing waste onboard is not impossible for cruise industries. Since the increased harmful effects on theenvironment have come to light, some cruise

56、industries have done their part and as technology increases, theirability to become more eco -friendly has become the most important.Holla nd America n Line has in vested $1.5 millio n into a program called Seawater Scrubber Pilot. This programlooks for opportunities to reduce engine emission on its

57、 ships. The Sea Water Scrubber system uses the naturalchemistry of seawater to remove all harmful materials in the seawater before it is poured overboard.Eve n though itis only a small step, it makes a big differe nee.The en viro nmen tal impact of the cruise in dustry on the dest in ati on has n egative effects. However, with effortmade, there is still hope that these effects can be limited, or
