It's 5:00 in the morning when the alarm rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, insanity (健身舞蹈)t pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my "no thank you," or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned that it's okay to just say "no." I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
8. Why is there a smile on the author's face in the morning?
A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.
B. Because she finishes her favorite exercise.
C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.
D. Because she feels a sense of achievement.

B. She likes to make others surprised.
C. Others don't understand what she does.
D. Others try to help her by offering her food.

A. Good health. B. Firm belief. C.A strong power. D. A regular habit.
11. What can we learn about the author from the text?
A. She acts in a strange way.
B. She wants to look different from others.

Haldane said he was “very surprised” at the news, adding that he was glad that their discoveries found something previously unnoticed by many, and that they revealed “more possibilities for looking for new materials.” He particularly pointed out that a lot of work was still ongoing.

The winners are given a sum of money when they receive their prizes, in the form of a document confirming the amount awarded.

In 2009, the monetary award was 10 million SEK (US$1.4 million) June 2012,it was lowered to 8 million SEK.
If there are two winners of a particular prize, the award money is divided equally between the winners. If there are three, the awarding committee can choose to divide the money equally, or award one-half to one winner and one-quarter to each of the others. It is common for winners to donate prize money to benefit scientific, cultural, or charitable causes.

Taking a break from her 39 , Danielle decided to attend a meeting at the local women's resource center. The women there had been a strong source of encouragement since she fled her home 40 for her safety. Sitting next to Danielle, Amy began to share the details of her 41 situation. She was just days away from 42 her home and her car. Her phone and electric services were both scheduled to be 43 . Her husband had gambled away their money. She had nothing left. Nothing!
As Amy described the degree of the situation, Danielle 44 God’s soft whisper in her heart: “After the meeting, give Amy twenty dollars.” Danielle immediately thought, “But I can’t. I only have forty dollars.” She heard the 45 again. Danielle knew she needed to follow. When the meeting 46 , she reached into her purse and 47 handed twenty dollars to Amy. Knowing Danielle's situation, Amy was 48 to accept it at first. But as a crowd of women 49 to give Amy hugs of support, Danielle told her that God wanted her to have it. Then Danielle left.
Now with just twenty dollars left in her wallet, Danielle decided to 50 cashing her paycheck at just one more bank before heading home. 51 she expected the rejection she had received at so many other banks, she was 52 filled with renewed confidence and optimism. Hopefully, she walked into the bank next to the women's center. Moments later, the bank 53 her paycheck with no questions asked. Wearing a big smile, Danielle returned home.

A
For many parents, the most confusing part about choosing pre-schools is trying to make sense of terms such as “Montessori Method”, “Waldorf Approach”. What do these terms mean and how can these terms help you choose a preschool?
Oftentimes, the key difference between settings is connected to the preschool’s “educational philosophy”. While educational philosophies are numerous and their definitions are not set in stone, we have provided you with definitions for some of the most popular philosophies.
The Montessori Method
Focuses on maintaining the individuality of each child in the learning process. This method believes each child learns at their own pace and educational progress should not be rendered based on comparing students to one another.
The Reggio Emilia Approach
This approach focuses on providing opportunities for problem solving through creative thinking and exploration.
The Waldorf Approach
This approach places an emphasis on imagination in learning, providing students with opportunities to explore their world through the senses, participation and analytical thought.
The Bank Street Approach
This approach places an emphasis on learning through multiple perspectives, both in the classroom setting and in the natural world.
The High/ Scope Approach
This approach focuses on letting children be in charge of their own learning. Children are taught to make a plan for what they would like to do each day and participate in a review session to discuss the success of their plan and brainstorm ideas for the next day.
Outside of the formal educational philosophy, knowing the difference between other common early childhood terms will help you make informed decisions regarding your child’s education.
56. If a pre-school stresses each child’s learning progress, it may employ ___________.
A. The Reggio Emilia Approach B. The Montessori Method
C. The Bank Street Approach D. The Waldorf Approach
57. According to the passage, which of the following is True ?
A. The Scope Approach is to let children learn all by themselves.
B. The definitions of educational philosophy remain the same.
C. To some extent, educational philosophies determine the differences between preschools.
D. The most confusing part about choosing pre-school is to choose educational philosophy.
B
High-sugar diets raise risks for heart disease, obesity and diabetes, but we do love our sweets, so health experts have tried to suggest alternatives, and honey has been foremost among them.
Honey is actually sweeter than sugar is , which means, in theory at least, that you could enhance flavor equally with a smaller quantity of honey. But honey actually has a higher calorie count. It may have more minerals, which looks better on a label but, in reality, these are such trace amounts that they don’t offer any real advantages.
Honey’s reputation as a medicine is not wholly unfounded. Some honey does indeed have antibacterial properties. One byproduct of enzymes in honey is hydrogen peroxide, a powerful germ killer. Plus, honey’s texture and consistency are good for keeping wounds clean, and bad for bugs that might want to infect them. Honey is moist and its gooey consistency mean it can easily spread over and stay over wounds while keeping the tissue from becoming dry and fragile. The sticky substance means bacteria can not accumulate and multiply easily. It is particularly well-known for fighting bacteria like staph, salmonella, E. Coliand certain bacteria that can infect the gut and cause ulcers.
However, scientists can only say this for sure about Makuna and Malaysian Tualang honey. We don’t know yet whether local home grown honey has the same potency-or safety. A hot cup of tea with some honey stirred in certainly sounds like it would make you feel better. But it’s difficult to say for sure that it will.
When you have a cold, contact with warm water (from tea) may help to bust up phlegm(痰)that blocks your airways. But some suspect the real secret to the qualities of a cuppa is in the honey. There are studies that suggest that honey does work as well or better than cough suppressant(抑制性的)drugs like Robitussin.
Most of these, however, were considered by the academic world to be widely misinterpreted by the media. One of the findings that seemed to have given the honey trend some additional legs came from a study that said there was “no difference”, statistically speaking, between honey and one particular cough suppressant.
58. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Honey has more minerals than sugar.
B. Honey can be used to treat wounds.
C. The sweetness in honey can fight bacteria.
D. All kinds of honey can act as medicines.
59. What is the author's attitude when it comes to the functions of honey?
A. Objective B. Critical C. Supportive D. Skeptical
60. What might be talked about next?
A. Honey will be widely used in other fields.
B. Honey will not be recommended in Medical treatment any more.
C. Other studies showed honey worked better than some cough medicines.
D. Other studies showed neither honey nor some cough medicines functioned well.

Early in the Iliad, Homer's epic poem(史詩)about the legendary, Trojan War, there occurs a famous anecdote known as the catalogue of ships, which names all the Greek leaders and contingents(小分隊) who came to fight at Troy. Before unfolding this impressive muster roll (花名冊)，Homer makes a special, public appeal to the Muses to ensure he gets the facts right:
Tell me now, Muses, who have your homes on Olympus--
for you are goddesses, and ever-present, and know all things,
and we hear only rumour: nor do we know anything
These lines reflect a central claim of epic poetry—that through the inspiration of the Muses, daughters of Memory, it can preserve the knowledge of people and the events of the past —a formidable power in the non-literate, oral cultures in which the Iliad evolved. The Iliad was composed around 750-700 BC, but its origins lie at least some five centuries earlier, deep in the Mycenaean Bronze Age---the world the Iliad poetically evokes.
The Iliad is keenly aware of its role as the keeper of memory, and credibility is central to its storytelling. The epic is a work of fiction, and relates the events of a few weeks in the tenth and final year of the Trojan War fought between Greeks and Trojans over beautiful Helen, the Greek queen who deserted her husband to elope with a Trojan prince. Its cast of characters includes not only warriors and their captives and families, but the immortal Olympian gods, who perform many supernatural acts in the course of their eager participation in the action around Troy.
The Iliad has the reputation for being an exclusively(專門地) male epic, weak on female characters, but to choose only one example—Homer's delicate characterization of Helen as a woman driven by reluctant remorseful(悔恨的) passion is as hauntingly(縈繞心頭地)credible as any Anna Karenina.
Longinus, a scholar in the 1st Century AD wrote that in recording as he does the wounding of the gods, their quarrels, vengeance, tears, imprisonment and all their passions Homer has done his best to make the men in the Iliad gods and gods men. The scene between Achilles and Priam displays this inversion and crystallises what the Iliad poets had learned in the course of the epic’s Journey. That the gods we worship might not answer, and on occasion humanity must rise to fill their place. That glory is closely associated with painful loss. That the victor shares the humanity of the most vulnerable of the vanquished(戰敗者); that there is no such thing as pure victory in war.
61. The Iliad about the legendary Trojan War, might date back to _______.
A. the third century BC B. the seventh century BC
C. the eighth century BC D. the thirteenth century BC
62. According to the passage,______________________________.
A. being reliable is essential to the storytelling of the Iliad
B. Trojan War between Greeks and Trojans lasted over a decade
C. Trojan War ended owning to the Olympian gods’ absence
D. beautiful Helen is a woman worth respecting in the Iliad
63. Why does the Iliad have the reputation for being an exclusively male epic?
A. Because it focuses only on men and war.
B. Because too few females were well depicted.
C. Because its cast of characters includes only males.
D. Because Helen was described as a passionate woman.
64. Which of the following statements doesn’t agree with the author’s idea?
A. Pure victory in war does not exist at all.
B. Glory is naturally accompanied with saddening loss.
C. The victor gains everything without any emotional loss.
D. Both the victor and the vanquished share the same humanity.
D
When Oscar Pistorius was convicted (證明有罪的)murder last month, the judge described the case as a “human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions”. The Paralympic athlete’s fall from grace made this comparison appropriate: overcoming severe disability to reach “Olympian heights”, falling in love with a beautiful model, and, in a coincidence that wouldn’t be out of place in one of the plays, taking her life on Valentine’s Day. Mr. Pistorius’s tragic flaw was that he was an excessive paranoia(偏執狂), which showed itself in an enthusiasm for guns.
Mr. Pistorius’s case is, indeed, peculiarly Shakespearean. But Justice Eric Leach, who delivered the judgment, is but one of those who have turned to the playwright in times of legal need. In 2012, Britain’s High Court quoted “King Lear” in a trial regarding a “threatening” joke on Twitter — they eventually overturned a conviction on the grounds that social-media users “are free to speak not what they ought to say, but what they feel”. A choice snippet of “Hamlet” (“a little patch of ground that hath no profit in it but the name”) was quoted in a 2008 boundary dispute. “Henry VIII” was called forth by Senator Sam Ervin Jr during the Watergate hearings. The condemnation of Dzokhar Tsarnaev, involved in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, was sealed with lines from “Julius Caesar”: “the evil that men do lives after them; the good is often buried with their bones.”
Lawyers’ love of Shakespeare is appropriate given that more of his lines are devoted to discussing law than any other profession. Some think his knowledge of the law was so detailed that the “real” Shakespeare must have been a lawyer. A study by Scott Dodson and Ami Dodson published last year set out to discover “the most literary justice” of those currently sitting(開庭), and which authors were regularly turned to for quotable wisdom. The “most abundant citer and the widest read” was found to be Antonin Scalia, and — no surprise — William Shakespeare topped the list of the often-quoted, along with Lewis Carroll. Both Shakespeare and Carroll accumulated sixteen references from five justices. Other popular authors among the bench were George Orwell, Charles Dickens, Aldous Huxley and Aesop.
The words of Shakespeare are likely to be sounded around courtrooms for decades to come as many universities — particularly in America and Britain — have included him in their law courses. Harvard Law School offers a seminar which focuses entirely on “justice and morality in the plays of Shakespeare”. King’s College London’s “Shakespeare and the Law” model is co-taught by the Literature and Law faculties, and explores “the role of the law in mediating the place of the individual within society”. There are sensible reasons behind this; the University of Southampton, in line with recent studies, states that it offers the opportunity to study law through a literary prism of Shakespeare, Dickens, Kafka and others in order to “help law students to become more ethically sharp”. A study argues that reading literary fiction makes people show empathy, challenge prejudice, and be more flexible in their decision-making. A literary sensibility enables lawyers to present clear, structured opinions and briefs.
But what is it about the work of Shakespeare, in particular, that lends itself to legal quotation and reflection? After all, as Robert Peterson pointed out in “The Bard and the Bench”, all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays have been quoted by American courts, in over 800 judicial opinions. One answer lies in the fact that Shakespeare’s status embodies high culture; quoting him seeks to invest the judgment with credibility and induce a sense of history. Mr. Peterson notes that this can “drive decisions in authentic ways”. Another option is Shakespeare’s universality — everyone has either read, or claims to have read, plays like “Hamlet”. His works have become globally shared; the term “Shakespearean tragedy” induces a rise-and-fall story even if the listener is not familiar with the works themselves. The horrifying details of Mr. Pistorius’s actions on that night, placed in a familiar Shakespearean frame, helps members of the court, and the public, to make sense of the unnecessary bloodshed.
65. Why is Oscar Pistorius mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the passage.
B. To explain why he was announced guilty of murder.
C. To show the appropriateness of Shakespeare’s comparison.
D. To highlight how Shakespeare influenced his conviction.
66. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Studying law makes people more flexible in making right decisions.
B. The quotation from Shakespeare in court will keep up in the following decades.
C. The accusation against Twitter was overturned by Britain’s High Court in 2012.
D. It is a must for law students in America and Britain to take courses in Shakespeare’s play.
67. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “embodies” in the last paragraph?
A. Creates. B. Shapes. C. Promotes. D. Represents.
68. The reason why Shakespeare is often quoted in court is that__________.
A. he is universally recognized as a productive playwright
B. the quotation from him adds credibility to the judgment
C. there are many professional legal terms in his works
D. Shakespearean tragedy is globally read by people
69. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By listing data. B. By presenting examples.
C. By analyzing phenomena. D. By making comparisons.
70. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Why Lawyers Love Shakespeare
B. Famous Quotations from Shakespeare

“Whatever your job is, the chances are that one of these machines can do it faster or better than you can.”
As innovation accelerates, thousands of jobs will disappear, just as it has happened in the previous cycles of industrial revolutions. Machines powered by narrow AI algorithms can already perform certain 3-D tasks (“dull, dirty and dangerous”) much better than humans. This may create enormous pain for those who are losing their jobs over the next few years, particularly if they don't acquire the computer-related skills that would enable them to find more creative opportunities. We must learn from the previous waves of creative destruction if we are to lessen human suffering and increasing inequality.
For example, some statistics indicate that as much as 3% of the population in developed countries work as drivers. When automated cars become a reality in the next 15 to 25 years, we must offer people who will be “structurally unemployed” some sort of compensation income, training and re-positioning opportunities.
Fortunately, the Schumpeterian waves of destructive innovation also create jobs. History has shown disruptive innovations are not always a zero-sum game. In the long run, the loss of low-added-value jobs to machines can have a positive impact in the overall quality of life of most workers.
The ATM paradox is a good example of this. As the use of automatic teller machines spread in the 1980s and '90s, many predicted massive unemployment in the banking sector. Instead, ATMs created more jobs as the cost of opening new agencies decreased. The number of agencies multiplied, as did the portfolio of banking products. Thanks to automation, going to the bank offers a much better customer experience than in previous decades. And the jobs in the industry became better paid and were of better quality.
This optimist scenario assumes, however, that education systems will do a better job of preparing our children to become good at what humans do best: creative and critical thinking. Less learning-by-heart and more learning-by-doing. Fewer clerical skills and more philosophical insights about human nature and how to cater to its infinite needs for art and culture.
To become creative and critical thinkers, our children will need knowledge and wisdom more than raw data points. They need to ask “why?”, “how?” and “what if?” more often than “what?”, “who?” and “when?” And they must construct this knowledge by relying on databases as cognitive partners as soon as they learn how to read and write.
Thus, the future of human-machine cooperation looks less like the scenario in the Terminator movies and more like a Minority Report-style of “augmented intelligence”. There will be jobs if we adapt the education system to equip our children to do what humans are good at: to think critically and creatively, to develop knowledge and wisdom, to appreciate and create beautiful works of art. That does not mean it will be a painless transition. Machines and automation will likely take away millions of low-quality jobs as it has happened in the past. But better-quality jobs will likely replace them, requiring less physical effort and shorter hours to deliver better results.
No, artificial intelligence won’t (71) _______ your children’s jobs

Authorities have called for nationwide enforcement of food standards in schools amid an ongoing investigation into a Shanghai-based food supplier accused of serving low-quality lunches with expired ingredients at a private school in the city.
The Shanghai Municipal Food and Drug Administration confirmed in a statement on Tuesday that students at the SMIC Private School in the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park were served expired food, including rotten and moldy produce. Expiration dates on the packaging of some products had been altered. The investigation confirmed what the students’ parents reported during a surprise inspection of the school’s kitchen on Friday.
The State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Education urged local education and food authorities on Tuesday to strengthen inspections of campus canteens to ensure their safety. On Saturday, SMIC Private School apologized to students, staff and parents and promised to take full responsibility for failing to supervise the vendor, according to its website. The principal of the school has been dismissed.

One possible version:
A private school located in Shanghai provided low-quality food for students, raising the concern of administrative departments. They conducted an investigation and demanded food criteria among schools be enforced.
Campus food safety is of vital importance to students. On the one hand, safe food is beneficial to students’ healthy growth, which lays a solid foundation for their sustainable development. On the other hand, if they were offered low-quality food, they couldn’t keep fit on campus, making their parents worried a lot and compromising their academic performances.
Ensuring students having access to safe food is a top priority. To begin with, the government should make stricter rules. Besides, the school leaders should attach importance to the issue. What’s more, schools are supposed to invite parents and students to supervise school canteens regularly. Only when we join forces can campus food safety be guaranteed.
In conclusion, we can’t emphasize the importance of campus food safety too much.

W: I think I want to go back to school, Paul.
M: Well, that’s a nice idea, Cindy. But what would you study?
W: I’m not sure. I’ve always been interested in psychology. I think I’d do really well.
M: Uh-huh. It’s not that I don’t believe in you, sweetheart. You were always a good student. But it’s different when you’re an adult going back to school.
W: Well, I don’t think I’d have any problems making friends. Lots of older folks get a second BA. degree later in life, just like I would be doing. And besides, I’ve always been young at heart. I’m sure I’d get along with the other students. And I think I’d be an even better writer and test-taker now than when I went to college in my late teens and early twenties.
M: Yeah…but that’s not what I’m worried about, honey. Have you given any thought to what you’d do when you graduate?
W: I suppose I’d look for a job.
M: And what do you know about jobs in the field of psychology?
W: Not too much, I guess. But I could start small and work my way to the top.
M: That sounds like something a person might say about a big company on Wall Street. Psychology is different. There just aren’t that many jobs in that field right now, and the ones that are out there don’t pay much unless you have a Ph.D. I mean, we have two kids to feed, you know?

If you miss a lecture, you can come to the Monday and Wednesday class, but please make sure you let me know so I can make a note of it. You are only allowed to miss one class, and after that, every time will affect your grade. We have two main exams, plus one paper of six pages. The amount of work is not too bad, but I will tell you that most students say that my expectations are higher than most of their other professors. I want to challenge you in here, and to do that, I need to make the tests harder than you may be expecting. If you need to reach me outside of class time, the best way is by email.

Rain beat against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department.
My boss appeared. “You probably know we’re cutting back,” he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.” “Fine,” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say.
I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart (小車) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job!
At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.” When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off I was than this poor woman.
I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you’re looking for work …”
24. How did the author feel on that rainy day?
A. Nervous. B. Excited. C. Awkward. D. Proud.
25. What was the author asked to do?
A. Take care of patients. B. Leave earlier that day.
C. Resign from the hospital. D. Help the laid-off workers.
26. How did the author help the Cookie Lady?
A. He offered her a high-paid job. B. He gave her advice on job hunting.
C. He made her story known to others. D. He taught her how to pass an interview.
27. What does the story tell us?
A. Good deeds have their rewards. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Little people can make a big difference. D. Love brings more joy to people than work does.

For the last eight months, farms near Kisarazu City in Japan have been home to a terrifying robot wolf. But don’t worry. It wasn’t created to terrify local people, although, from the looks of the thing, it probably did. Its official name is “Super Monster Wolf” and engineers designed it to stop animals from eating farmers’ crops.
In truth, the story of the robot wolf is more than a little sad. As Motherboard reports, wolves went extinct in Japan in the early 1800s, which was caused by an eradication(根除) movement. Now, parts of Japan are overrun with deer and wild boar. They love to feed on farmers’ rice and chestnut crops. Obviously, farmers hate this. That’s why humans have created the robot wolf to replace the species they killed off. The first official test of the robot wolf just ended. Asahi Television reports, it is such a success that the robot wolf is entering mass production soon.
Ultimately, the tests showed that the robot wolf has an effective radius(半徑) of just about one kilometer, making it more effective than an electric fence, but the robot wolf is immobile. And if you want a robot wolf of your own, you can buy one for about $4,480. The price is, admittedly, a bit steep; however, the company has more affordable monthly renting choices. Of course, it would have been far cheaper if the species had not been eradicated, but it’s a little late for that.
The robot wolf is about the same size as an actual one. It also has long and thin hair and an impressive set of white teeth. It uses solar batteries to provide itself with energy, and it discovers enemies with its ray sensors. Once the robot wolf senses a creature nearby, it uses a wide range of sounds, including a gunshot, a howl, and a human voice, to frighten away the would-be diner. Of course, humans who are unfortunate enough to enter the area nearby are also likely frightened away by the claps of gunshots.
28. Why did engineers create the robot wolf?
A. To terrify local hunters. B. To control other animals.
C. To protect farmers’ crops. D. To stop pets stepping on fields.
29. What can we learn about the eradication movement?
A. It helped bring in more species. B. It has been organized recently.
C. It was welcomed by local farmers. D. It destroyed the balance of ecosystem.
30. What can we know about the future of the robot wolf?
A. It will replace the electric fence. B. It will help farmers get rich harvests.
C. Its price will fall in the near future. D. Its renting business can be available.
31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The size of the robot wolf. B. How the robot wolf works.
C. How the robot wolf makes sounds. D. The appearance of the robot wolf.
D
Debates over the benefits of recycling started in 1996 when a writer called John Tierney said “recycling is garbage”. According to him, “Recycling programs offer mainly short-term benefits to a few related groups while diverting money from real social and environmental problems. It doubles energy consumption and pollution while costing taxpayers more money than dealing with old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”
Environmental groups were quick to respond to Tierney by issuing reports detailing the benefits of recycling and showing how municipal (市政的) recycling programs reduce pollution and the use of resources while decreasing the amount of garbage and the need for landfill space—all for less, not more, than the cost of regular garbage collection and disposal.(處置)
But in 2002, New York City, an early municipal recycling pioneer, found that its much-praised recycling program was losing money, so it eliminated glass and plastic recycling. According to the Mayor, the benefits of recycling plastic and glass were outweighed by the price—-recycling cost twice as much as disposal. Meanwhile, low demand for the materials meant that much of it was ending up in landfills anyway. NYC closed its last landfill and brought in a more efficient system, with more famous service providers than it had used previously.
The lessons learned by New York are applicable everywhere. Some early recycling programs waste resources and lead to new trash. But the situation has improved as cities have gained experience. If managed correctly, recycling programs should cost cities and taxpayers less than garbage disposal for any given amount of material. Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are various, individuals should keep in mind that it better serves the environment to reduce and reuse materials before recycling even becomes an option.
32. John Tierney thought that recycling___________.
A. is a waste of money B. leads to a lack of employers
C. is beneficial to the environment D. will become popular in the future
22. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 3?
A. Required. B. Forgot. C. Encouraged. D. Cancelled.
34. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. We should make recycling an option.
B. Public recycling programs are in a bad situation.
C. We should develop the awareness of resource saving.
D. Cost-saving should be considered first in recycling work.
35. What can be the best title for this passage?
A. The harm of recycling
B. Is recycling really beneficial?
C. The recycling work in New York City
D. Is environmental protection making progress?

Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by. Newspapers, magazines and sports programs on TV frequently cover boxing matches. _____36_____
It seems to me that people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identify the winning boxer, and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. It is a fact that many people have feeling of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives. _____37_____
However, there is a negative side to boxing. _____38_____Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. _____39_____ Sometimes even if a boxer has never been knocked out, he might have suffered brain damage without knowing it.
_____40_____ I think it would be better if less time were given to aggressive sports on TV, and we welcomed more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.
A. It can be a very dangerous sport.
B. Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression.
C. It is likely to threaten personal safety of people.
D. I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing.
E. Furthermore, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing.
F. In my opinion, boxing can be so thrilling that many people dare not have a try.
G. Professional boxers earn a lot of money, and successful boxers are treated as big heroes.
