A
Around the world, people are satisfying their thirst with bottled water. In the past 10 years, sales in Asia and South America have greatly increased. In 2007, people in the United States drank more than 8 billion gallons of bottled water. The United States now uses up the most bottled water in the world, followed by Mexico, China, and Brazil. Compared to sugary soft drinks, this seems a healthy choice. But is it a wise one?
A single-serve water bottle offers great convenience. It can be bought almost anywhere, carried around for a while, and then thrown away. The influence of bottled water on the environment, however, is surprising. Around 2.7 million tons of plastic are turned into disposable (用后可抛弃的) bottles each year. This requires large quantities of raw oil and water. It also produces greenhouse gases. Although the bottles can be recycled, only a small part of them are. The United States only recycles about 23 percent. The rest are part of a growing solid waste problem.
Convenience isn’t the only reason for bottled water’s rise in popularity. Words like “pure”, together with images of mountains or glaciers (冰川), are used to market bottled water. Many people believe that it must be cleaner and more healthful than tap water from public water systems. But this is a wrong idea. In developed nations such as the United States and in Europe, rules that ensure safe water are often stricter for tap than for bottled water.
It may come as a surprise that as much as 40 percent of the water bottled in the United States starts out as tap water. Before bottling, some companies filter it, and they might add minerals for taste.
Despite its low origins, bottled water can cost anywhere from 240 to 10,000 times more per gallon than tap water. Is the bottle ever better?
Bottled water has spread around the world. While it is an important source of safe drinking water, we should not lose sight of a more environmentally friendly source: the water that comes out of our taps (水龙头).
21. What’s the author’s purpose in Paragraph one?
A. To correct some wrong views on bottled water.
B. To explain which countries lead in bottled water use.
C. To show that bottled water is growing popular all over the world.
D. To convince readers that bottled water is better than sugary soft drinks.
22. According to the text, what is the main problem with bottled water?
A. The poor quality of the water sources.
B. The waste associated with bottled water.
C. The difficulty in transporting the bottles.
D. The amount of water required to fill the bottles.
23. Why are words like “pure” used for selling bottled water?
A. To meet government’s laws. B. To show values of the buyers.
C. To present scientific evidence. D. To influence people’s choices.
24. What is the author’s attitude towards tap water?
A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Favorable. D. Negative
B
What is the tallest mountain on Earth? Most school children will say the answer is Mount Qomolangma (珠穆拉玛峰) near the border between Nepal and Tibet, China.
There is something that is three hundred and four meters taller than Mount Qomolangma. However, it is mainly underwater. It begins at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and rises more than seventeen kilometers from the ocean floor.
Its name is Mauna Loa. In the Hawaiian language, Mauna Loa means “Long Mountain”. Mauna Loa is more than half of the island of Hawaii, the largest of the Hawaiian Islands. It is also the largest and more active volcano on Earth. It has erupted (喷发) more than thirty times since records were first kept in eighteen forty-three. Today, it is not erupting. However volcano experts say it is only a matter of time before this happens once again.
Mauna Loa is not the only volcano on the island of Hawaii. There are four others. One of them, named Kilauea, is still active. It has erupted more than fifty times in the last one hundred years. At this moment, red hot lava is pouring out of Kilauea. It has been doing this since nineteen eighty-three. Sometimes the lava moves slowly. At other times it pours out very fast as huge amounts of pressure force it from the volcano. During these times, it moves almost as quickly as water moving down the side of a mountain. Experts say the volcanoes of Mauna Loa and Kilauea are a serious threat to property on many parts of the island.
Experts say the volcanoes of the island of Hawaii are proof that the changing environment of Earth is, and will always remain beyond human control.
25. By mentioning “Mount Qomolangma”, the author stresses that Mauna Loa is _______. 
A. the tallest in the world
B. the longest in the world
C. the largest in the world
D. the most active on earth
26. The underlined word “lava” in the 4th paragraph refers to _______. 
A. ash rock B. solid rock C. bed rock D. liquid rock
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Mauna Loa is mostly above water.
B. Mauna Loa is over one half as large as Hawaiian Islands.
C. Hawaiian volcanoes are under human control now.
D. Kilauea is more active than Mauna Loa.
C
Arthur Miller (1915—2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists (戏剧家) of the 20th century. Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria­Hungary, like so many others driven by the “Great American Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial (财务的) hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American society, with its aggressive (侵略的) way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment (情感): if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.

A. achieved huge success
B. won the first Tony Award
C. was warmly welcomed by salesmen
D. was severely attacked by dramatists

As a high school basketball coach, I did all I could to help the boys win the matches. To win every match was the goal. However, something following a match, in which I worked as a referee裁判), changed my opinion on wins. It was a basketball game between New Rochelle and Yonkers High in New York.
New Rochelle was coached by Dan O’Brein, while Yonkers by Les Beck. The stadium (体育馆) was crowded with people. The match was well played. Yonkers was leading by one point as I looked at the clock and discovered there were but 30 seconds left.
Yonkers, having the ball, passed the ball, shot, and missed. New Rochelle recovered the ball, passed the ball, and shot. The ball rolled around the rim (边) but fell off the rim. The fans shouted. New Rochelle, the home team, recovered the ball, and tapped it in. I glanced (瞥见) at the clock and saw that the game was over. The noise was loud. I hadn’t heard the final bell because of it. I checked with the other referee, but he couldn’t help me.
I went to the time keeper, a young man of 17 or so. He said, “Mr Smith, the bell went off as the ball rolled off the rim.”
I had to tell Coach O’Brein the sad news. “Dan,” I said, “Time ran out before the final basket was tapped in. Yonkers won the game.”
His face clouded over. The young timekeeper came up. He said, “I’m sorry, Dad. Time ran out before the final basket.”
In a short time, like the sun coming out from behind a cloud, Coach O’Brein’s face lit up. He smiled, “That’s OK, Joe. You did what you should do. I’m proud of you.”
Then he turned to me with a proud smile on his face and said, “He’s my son, Joe.”
32. What made the author miss the final bell?

B. the noise in the stadium.
C. the author’s disabled ears.

A. Because his team had won the match.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 36 I found that the two paths were different from each other.
The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. 37 Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.
38 It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 39
Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.
40 Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!
A. It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.
B. After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path.
