9、ostly mad about getting pinched, but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patricks Day.I panicked. What am I going to do? I dont have time to change. Ill get pinched all day long! Well, Tex said, taking the old green baseball hat off his head, you could borrow my lucky hat.”Bu

10、t its your favorite! I said.I know,” said Tex. Just promise to give it back after school.No problem, I said, glancing in the mirror on my way out the door. I look like a fool in this thing !A lucky fool.” said Tex.Hum. I grabbed my backpack. Thanks, I think?Now, before I go on, you should know that

11、Im not a superstitious （迷信的）person. I dont believe that thirteen is an unlucky number or that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck.Anyway, I was racing to catch the school bus, and I saw a dollar on the sidewalk! I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it, but people just kept s

12、tepping on the poor thing, so I decided to rescue it. I had found pennies before, but never a dollar!My luck didnt stop there. Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me, quizzing each other on spelling words.I turned around and said, You guys know that test isnt till tomorrow right?It got switched t

13、o this morning, said Jacsksn. Remember?Thats right. I totally forgot! I said. Im so lucky that I sat in front of you.

My audition couldnt have gone better.Wow, Arizona!

16、 said my friend Mareya. I cant believe how amazingly you just did! You are so getting a major part in this play!Thanks! But honestly. the only reason I did OK is because I had my lucky hat.”What lucky hat?” asked Mareya.“This one,” I said, reaching into my backpack, where I thought Id put Texs hat s

Also luckily. I discovered that I could be lucky with or without a goofy-looking hat.So it wasnt the hat, said Mar

18、eya. This is just a wild guess, but maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month.”Hmm,” I said. “Its possible.”So, dear friend, I guess you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared, believing in yourself. and maybe just a tiny bit of magic!

23、 to those who are well-preparedRecently, a coalition of business and advocacy groups from around Washington gathered to kick off a campaign to enact a carbon pricing program in the capital. Known as the Climate and Community Reinvestment Act of DC, the plan would place a new tax on all fossil fuels

24、bought or sold, with the hope of ultimately discouraging the use of these polluting energy sources.The big-picture goal of this campaign is admirable: to address the ever-deepening crisis of humanity-driven climate chaos by dissuading the continued use of coal, oil and gas, the filthy substances rap

25、idly warming our planet. But unfortunately, the approach one based in a world of financial markets, trading schemes and enticing new public revenue streams is deeply and inherently flawed. Simply put, carbon pricing is a false solution to climate change and a distraction from real, effective climate

26、 solutions we must urgently pursue.To date, there is scant(不足的) evidence to indicate that carbon taxes lower greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, the opposite is true. RecentlyFood & Water Watch reviewed the British Columbia carbon tax program, often cited by advocates as an example of success. From 2

27、009 (the first full year of the tax) to 2014, emissions from taxed sources grew by 4.3 percent. And in the seven years after the carbon tax took effect, total gasoline sales increased by 7.37 percent.Supporters of such plans like to focus on a deceivingly simple notion that increasing the price of a

28、 consumer good will automatically reduce its use. But this just isnt the case when it comes to the purchase of necessities. People must heat their homes in winter, and they must commute to work, regardless of the cost.Those backing the DCcarbon pricing plan like to note that revenue from the new tax

29、 would go toward investment in clean energy sources. But only 20 percentof the generated funds would be allocated in this manner. The rest would be divvied(分摊) up in tax breaks for businesses and rebates(回扣) for consumers, another factor undercutting the notion that increased costs up front would ch

30、ange consumer behavior in the long run.Meanwhile, fossil fuel giants such as ExxonMobil are increasingly coming out in supportof carbon pricing. This should be cause for alarm for anyone concerned with stamping out the use of the dirty energy sources these corporations profit from. Exxon knows that

31、carbon taxes will do little to change the business-as-usual dependence on oil and gas that it relies on to continue operating and enriching shareholders. Furthermore, corporations such as Exxon rightly view carbon pricing schemes as a means of diverting energy and interest from tougher regulations t

32、hat might actually encroach on(侵犯) their business plans and bottom lines.Despite what many well-intentioned activists and community leaders want to believe, there is no convenient, market-friendly solution to our dire climate condition. There is only the hard truth that we must tackle the problem at

33、 its source: We must stop using fossil fuels, and soon. The latest science indicates that in order to avoid the worst effects of deepening climate chaos, society must transitioncompletely to clean, renewable energy by 2035.10Food &Water Watch found that _ .Acarbon taxes could limit greenhouse gas em

34、issionsBtaxing carbon emissions did not reduce pollutionCcarbon emissions grew at a lower rate than gasoline salesDBritish Columbia carbon tax program achieved lasting effect11Which of the following is true, according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?AConsumers will use less of a good when its price increases.

35、BCarbon taxes will benefit the development of clean energy.CIncreased cost will do little to change the use of necessities.DThe dependence on fossil fuels will decrease automatically.12Fossil fuel giants _.Aare expressing dissatisfaction with carbon pricing schemesBare reducing their dependence on d

36、irty energy sourcesCview clean renewable energy as their future source of profitsDsee carbon pricing as distraction from tough rules against them13The most suitable title for this text would be _.AThe Carbon Tax Fallacy(谬论)BThe Climate Change MythCThe Call for Clean EnergyDThe Causes of Climate Chao

37、sEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, sometimes we need to be alone. We dont always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends dont

38、 get along well. That doesnt mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends.

39、 It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of th

40、ese people when we go to these places.Theres more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who dont have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares about you. If someon

41、e cares about you, you take better care of yourself.14The first paragraph tells us _.Anone need friendsBwe always need friends around usCmaking friends is the need in peoples lifeDwe need to be alone15Which of the following is not TRUE?APeople are happy when their friends leave them.BPeople may neve

42、r see their friends after their friends move away.CPeoples sometimes name their children after a close friend.DPeople like their friends very much if they get to know them.16This passage tells us _.Athat people are all friendsBthat people need friendsChow to get to know friendsDhow to name a place二、

43、七选五Critical thinking means absorbing important information and using that to form a decision or opinion of your own. _17_ But luckily, its something you can train yourself to do better.One of the most important parts of thinking critically is learning what details matter. Were exposed to so much inf

44、ormation and so many different opinions every day that its really easy to get lost in the details. _18_Knowing which details matter is the first part of critical thinking, but its pretty useless if you dont know what types of questions to ask next. _19_ Its important to always ask yourself why somet

45、hing is important and how it connects to things you already know. As you do that, you train your brain to think critically about more information you come across.As with anything, if you want to get good at critical thinking, you need to practice it every day. _20_ This could be casual observations

46、or a notebook with opinions, but the point is to write every single day. Likewise, participating in a healthy debate with friends is great practice._21_ The more knowledge you gain, the better youll become at thinking about it. That doesnt mean that you should be constantly thinking about thinking,

47、but the end result is a brain that automatically forms better arguments, focused ideas, and creative solutions to problems.ACritical thinking doesnt end.BIt doesnt always come naturally to us.CCritical thinking cant be learned in school.DYou should question all the provided details.EOne easy way to

48、do this is to keep a journal of some kind.FAfter all, thinking critically and asking questions go hand in hand.GSubsequently, we need to train ourselves to learn which details matter.三、完形填空I stood behind the curtains listening to the applause to the previous act.
