       We need to be responsible for our environment. Being a frugal consumer(節(jié)儉的消費(fèi)者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?

Use It Up

       You can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the rube. Use the last little piece of soap. Don’t throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.

Wear It Out

       You do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You don’t have to have the latest iPhone until the old one doesn’t work any more. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.

Make It Do

       When something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken boys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.

Do Without

       Think about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up our world’s resources(資源). And, getting rid of the things we don’t want any more takes up even more resources and space.

65. Do we need to be responsible for our environment?

66. How do we deal with the last little piece of soap?

67. When do we need to get a new iPhone?

68. What should we do when something we want is not on hand?

69. What does the writer want to tell us?

       Kenny and Bobbi McCaughey live in lowa. They have a big family. Mikayla is the oldest child in the family. She is six years old. The other children are Brandon, Joel, Kelsay, Kenny, Natalie, Alexis and Nathan. They are all five years old. Why are they all the same age?   61   . They are septuplets!

       It is hard work to look after seven babies at the same time.    62    . In the beginning, many people helped them. They helped to feed, clean, and dress the babies. Every week, the septuplets used about 170 diapers(尿布)?    63    .

       Now the children are older. The septuplets started school this year. But they go to school at home, like their big sister, Mikayla. When Mikayla was ready for school, Kenny and Bobbi decided to teach her at home.     64    . Now Bobbi is the teacher for all eight of her children.

　　　 My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2 go 2 NY2C my bro, his GF&thr 3 :-@ kids FTF. ILNY, its gr8.

　　　 Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet of cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the “translation” of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it’s great.

　　　 Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming(破壞) the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).

　　　 Everyone should just relax, say linguists(語言學(xué)家). They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,” he says. “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.

　　　 Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will thing this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become “corrupted”; they simply change to meet the new needs.

　　　 However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it’s important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”

　　　 Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, “I wouldn’t use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun.”

57. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

　　　 A. To give an example of a foreign language.

　　　 B. To show an example of creative methods.

　　　 C. To express worries about using Netspeak.

　　　 D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.

58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　　 A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.

　　　 B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.

　　　 C. David Crystal things Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.

　　　 D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.

59. The expression “bet your bottom dollar” in Paragraph 5 means __________.

　　　 A. Be fairly sure　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. be greatly surprised　　　　　

　　　 C. think it a pity　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. find it interesting

60. What can be the best title fro the passage?

　　　 A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet

　　　 B. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?

　　　 C. Is Netspeak Helpful in the English Language?

　　　 D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages

　　　 What do you do if you’re stranded(處于困境的) on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.

Body signals (信號(hào))

　　　 Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means “yes”. When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means “no”. if you want the polite to know that it’s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend (彎曲) your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.

Smoke signals

　　　 The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it’s a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread. It the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

Ground-to-air signals

　　　 It’s a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(標(biāo)記). If you can’t find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:

　　　 F　　 “I need food and water.”

　　　 II 　 “I need medicine.”

　　　 I　　 “I am badly hurt.”

　　　 X　　 “I am unable to move from here.

Pilots’ replies

　　　 If the pilot lowers the plane’s wings from side to side, this means “message received and understood”. (At night, the pilot flashes the plane’s green lights.) If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means “message received but not understood”. (At night, the pilot flashes the plane’s red lights.)

　　　 However, there is no signal which means “message not received”. Why not?

54. Which picture means “it’s not safe to land”?

55. What can we learn from the passage?

　　　 A. Swinging your arm from side to side means “yes”.

　　　 B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can’t be seen.

　　　 C. If you need some medicine, make a symbol “II”.

　　　 D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.

56. What is the passage mainly about?

　　　 A. The explanation of building signals on an island.

　　　 B. The importance of making signals on an island.

　　　 C. Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.

　　　 D. Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island.

Dereck Joubert and his wife, Beverly, have made many films about wild animals in Africa. Their films and photographs are very popular and one of the photographs has been on the front cover of a National Geographic magazine.

A working day for Dereck and Beverly started very early—at 4:30 in the morning! That’s when they get up and start filming. And it’s a long day—they often work until 8:30 in the evening. In the winter it’s very cold and in the summer it can be 40C. dereck always does the filming—Beverly never does that, and she doesn’t write. But Dereck never takes photographs or records the sound. They work very well as a team, and they both believe we should shoot animals with cameras—not with guns!

When they have finished filming and taking photographs for the day, they have dinner and Dereck usually writes while Beverly looks at her photographs. At night, they usually sleep in a small tent, but they sometimes sleep in the Land Cruiser—when you’re very close to wild animals, it’s sometimes safer to sleep in the car!

Dereck and Beverly have also traveled around the world and given talks about their work. Dereck says that the animals are not just something to look at—they play an important role. Beverly thinks the wild animals can teach us a lot about ourselves.
