【題目】閱讀下面的短文，從每小題所給的A,B,C三個選項(xiàng)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

I used to work in a lab for almost 10 years. It was a well-paid job, and a “not exactly challenging(有挑戰(zhàn)性的）but safe job”. Then everything changed in 1998 when my best friend introduced me to a man who wanted to open up a computer school.

They knew I had a speech problem. I stuttered(口吃）.

For me a simple sentence was going to take longer than it should.“ Hello, how are you doing?” can take you 3 seconds(秒）， while it would take me 10 seconds. And the man just asked me if I wanted to stand in front of strangers and speak about computer technology.

Then the most amazing thing happened...

I said yes!

I have always felt I know a better way to describe difficult concepts(概念） to listeners than a lot of other people. I’m good at explaining things when I write about it. So I took the class syllabus(教學(xué)大綱）and rewrote it MY WAY! I did all I could to make it easier to understand.

In my first class I got the familiar(熟悉的）funny looks from people when I started speaking. But after 15 minutes, people were asking smart questions that showed they understood. At the end of the class when people were leaving, they shook my hand and thanked me.

You won’t get THAT from a “ not exactly challenging but safe job”!

【題目】In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.

Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. So, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.

Critics (批評家) think that Britain needs cheaper public transport. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about 100, for example. A 15-minute bus trip can cost over 1.00.

Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

任務(wù)1：閱讀短文，根據(jù)英文釋義及首字母提示拼寫單詞。

【1】d_________ to become impossible to see

【2】s_________ different from what is normal

任務(wù)3：閱讀短文，完成同義句轉(zhuǎn)換，每空一詞。

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀 閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格，每空一詞。

Mobile phone history

Not long ago, mobile phones were used mainly by business people and government officers in society. In the US, mobile phone users were about 340, 000 in 1985. Now there are 205 million mobile phone users in the US. Studies also show that over 50 percent of children in the US own their own personal mobile phones. The mobile phone explosion(激增) has led to a huge number of waste phones. The number of mobile phones users has also increased throughout the world. In the middle of 2005, the number of total users jumped to 2.4 billion worldwide.

Mobile phone waste

When people throw their mobile phones away, they usually end up in the open air. Mobile phones include some materials like lead, mercury and cadmium. They can go into public drinking water and food and do harm to people’s health. About 75 percent of mobile phone users don’t throw their phones away. Instead, they prefer to keep the waste ones sitting around the house as they are not worth very much. People are also afraid that others may know their information if they sell their waste phones. Less than 20 percent of them are recycled each year.

Benefits(益處) of recycling mobile phones

Mobile phones have valuable materials inside. The most valuable material is gold, which is used in the phone circuit boards. Recycling can reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) and keep natural resources like gold. If all of the waste phones in the US are recycled, it will save enough energy to offer over 194, 000 U.S. families electricity(電力) for one year.

How mobile phone recycling works

Many people do not know how mobile phone recycling works. One method of recycling mobile phones is to take the working parts of broken phones, then combine(使結(jié)合) them with the working parts of other used mobile phones to make one ready-to-use mobile phone. Another method of mobile phone recycling is to melt(熔化) down and separate parts of the phone, getting the valuable natural resources, such as gold and platinum. Plastic and glass can also be recycled from used mobile phones.
