The US public uses about 50 billion water bottles a year and most of those 46 bottles are not recycled, according to Elizabeth Royte’s book Bott lemanid : How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought i t .
More than $100 billion is spent every year on bottled water in the US. In many developing countries where there isn’t a safe 47of tap water, bottled water is the only choice.
In the US, tap water is controlled by the government and often 48 for dangerous substances (物质). Each American drinks 79 litres of bottled water per year 49. The bottled-water industry is so successful that it has outpaced milk, coffee, and juice in the number of gallons of drinks sold—putting it behind only beer and soda.

Though the sale of bottled water is still on the rise, certain
policy makers have taken steps to reduce it and 50people to
drink tap water. In September 2009, the Australian city of
Bundanoon became the first city in the world to 51stop
bottled water from being sold in stores, building water
fountains instead.
Among the cities in America that have taken action are San
Francisco and Seattle, which 52 buy water for city use, and Chicago, which adds a five-cent tax on each bottle. Several restaurants in the those cities have also 53bottled water for tap water. Other cities are also considering taking action.

A. Choose the best answer （根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）：（ 12分）
Once upon a time if we wanted to make a phone call or wait for someone to contact us, we had to sit at home or at our desks. There were public phones in to pay for the calls. So people didn’t phone their friends as often.Mobile phones, these small pieces of electronic equipment which allow us to talk with friends and family while we are on the move, have greatly changed the way we live. Before the age of the mobile phone, our loved ones would sit around worried sick if we were late coming home. There were no quick calls to tell mum that there would be additional guests coming for dinner. We would have to depend on notes left on fridges on desks to communicate messages.
But mobile phones have also had a negative effect and what people don’t seem to realize is that we’ve lost something very valuable our privacy. Now our friends and family can contact us wherever and whenever they want to. We can never get away from them. The way people communicate with each other is totally different now. It’s difficult to have a conversation face-to-face with a friend without being disturbed every couple of minutes by the ring of their phones, most people don’t see anything wrong in having a long conversation on their mobile phone while forgetting all about the person sitting opposite. It seems the art of real conversation may be dying.
Of course, people could lave their mobile phones at home or even switch them off but no one ever does that. Why not? Because the worrying thing is we can’t live without our phones. We’ve become communication addicts, unable to spend even a few minutes out of contact, in case we miss something‘important’.
69. What does the underlined sentence tell us?
A) No all-day public phone service was provided in the street.
B) Public phones were in poor condition and not always available.
C) Public phones were everywhere but they were always in use.
D) You could always see people repairing the public phones.
70. What’s the writer’s point about using telephones before the invention of mobile phones?
A) Using a telephone was expensive. B) Phone calls were much shorter.
C) People made fewer phone calls. D) People relied on notes a
lot.
71. What does the writer think about life before mobile phones?
A) Life was less convenient. B) People were more punctual.
C) Things were more relaxed. D) Everyone managed very well.
72. What’s the writer’s main argument against mobile phones?
A) They have damaged relationships. B) We give out too much information.
C) They are harmful to our body and mind. D) It’s impossible to escape from them.
73. Which word best describes how the writer feels about the use of mobile phones?
A) Disappointed. B) Satisfied. C) Worried D) Surprised.
74. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?
A) To inform people about means of communication in the past.
B) To show disadvantages o the way people communicate today.
C) To advise readers to stop using the mobile phone.
D) To compare different types of phone conversation.
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当 的单词或词语完成短文）（ 12分）
The International Climate Champions (ICC) project began in 2007. It gives young people of school age a chance to speak publicly on climate change and to call on people to take action to reduce its 75. Each country involved selects three teenagers to be Climate Champions, who take part in local and international activities.
Climate Champion Irene Sanna lived on the Italian of Sardinia. Irene is interested in solar energy, and 76believes that Sardinia should use the waves around its coast to produce electricity. ‘We must make our plans to save our coast, which still has no pollution. We must protect the animals, birds and fish in danger from global warming. And we must recycle.’
Chinese student Ding Yinghan is the Beijing Climate Champion. Ding feels it is not 77 to say that just one country—his own—is causing climate change. He says the air pollution that leads to global warming comes from many parts of the world, including poorer countries that are now growing more quickly. He believes the only way to 78the situation getting even worse is for rich and poor countries to work together.
Sophia Angelis, a junior student in California, is a US Champion. She’s against young people’s generation lack of interest in politics and feels they need to discuss the problems that really matter to their generation. Sophia strongly believes that climate change is an important issue for her generation. For made by parents.

Here’s the story from the e-mail.
Recently I overheard a father and a daughter in their last moments together at the a 81. They had announced the departure.
Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the father said, ‘I love you, and I wish you enough.’
They kissed and the daughter left. The father walked over to the window where I was seated. I tried to leave him some privacy, but I could not keep m ‘When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.’ May I ask what that means?’
He began to smile. ‘That’s a wish that is p 83on from generation to generation. My parents used to say it to everyone.’
He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in d 84, and he smiled even more.
‘When we said, ‘I wish you enough,’ we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to carry them on.’
T 85， slowly turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude b ,86, no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the s 87of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
D. Read what Claire did and answer the questions （根据 Claire 所写内容回 答下列问题）：（12分）
My stay in the rainforest
Last year, I left my job and went to Borneo to work without pay in the
rainforest. So many people have said to me, ‘I would love to do something like that.’ and I say, ‘If you want to, just do it.’They always reply, ‘I can’t.’But, if you really want to do it, there are ways to make it happen.
After three day’s training, I started work on an environmental project with a
group of young people. The accommodation was very basic and we had to build our own place to sleep. This consisted of a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects (昆虫) out.
It was never dangerous there, but it was very chal lenging (挑战的). There
were things that we didn’t think we would manage to do, but we did. I had some of my worst moments there, but also some of my best—it made me feel alive. I didn’t miss my home comforts as much as I’d thought I might. We had food, water, somewhere to stay, about three sets of clothes and really good
conversation. We were in the most beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy. We didn’t need any more.
One of the teenagers said, ‘Before we came here, it was really important to
me what clothes I wore and who my friends were. I was always thinking about shoes, but really none of that matters. Here, people accept me for who I am, what I believe and think, not for what kind of clothes I’ve got.’ When she said that, it summed it up for me.
88. Did Claire get any money from the work in Borneo?
89. What did Claire do before she started work on an environmental project?
90. How was Claire’s ‘bedroom’ in the rainforest.’
91. What did the teenager care about before she came to Borneo?
92. How did Claire feel about the experience of living in the rainforest?
93. What do you think might be the worst moments Claire had during her stay in the rainforest?

Someone sent me a group e-mail the other day. One of those that end with: send this to 10 friends…I like the story and it really got me thinking.
Here’s the story from the e-mail.
Recently I overheard a father and a daughter in their last moments together at the a 81. They had announced the departure.
Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the father said, ‘I love you, and I wish you enough.’
They kissed and the daughter left. The father walked over to the window where I was seated. I tried to leave him some privacy, but I could not keep m ‘When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.’ May I ask what that means?’
He began to smile. ‘That’s a wish that is p 83on from generation to generation. My parents used to say it to everyone.’
He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in d 84, and he smiled even more.
‘When we said, ‘I wish you enough,’ we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to carry them on.’

My stay in the rainforest
Last year, I left my job and went to Borneo to work without pay in the
rainforest. So many people have said to me, ‘I would love to do something like that.’ and I say, ‘If you want to, just do it.’They always reply, ‘I can’t.’But, if you really want to do it, there are ways to make it happen.
After three day’s training, I started work on an environmental project with a
group of young people. The accommodation was very basic and we had to build our own place to sleep. This consisted of a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects (昆虫) out.
It was never dangerous there, but it was very chal lenging (挑战的). There
were things that we didn’t think we would manage to do, but we did. I had some of my worst moments there, but also some of my best—it made me feel alive. I didn’t miss my home comforts as much as I’d thought I might. We had food, water, somewhere to stay, about three sets of clothes and really good
conversation. We were in the most beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy. We didn’t need any more.
One of the teenagers said, ‘Before we came here, it was really important to
me what clothes I wore and who my friends were. I was always thinking about shoes, but really none of that matters. Here, people accept me for who I am, what I believe and think, not for what kind of clothes I’ve got.’ When she said that, it summed it up for me.
