Mayor Boris Johnson Monday outlined plans to make London “the cleanest, greenest city on Earth” by the 2012 Olympics and called for commitments from other world cities at a climate change conference. Leaders of the world’s 40 largest cities are meeting in Seoul this week for a summit on combating global warming –the third to be held since 2005.
“What we should do in Seoul is that we will stop the endless addiction of mankind to the internal combustion engine (內(nèi)燃機),” said Johnson. He said at a press conference the world’s cities consume 75 percent of the world’s energy and produce 80 percent of the emissions which cause climate change. “The problem of our planet is an urban problem,” Johnson said.
He said the British capital wants to use the Olympics” to drive the greeting and the improvement of our city and noted that London is committed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2025.
Johnson said the key measure was being taken to solve problems relating to housing and commercial buildings, which accounted for 70 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in London. This involved retrofitting (翻新) ---installing lagging – in large numbers of public buildings.
Johnson proclaimed himself a “passionate cyclist” and said he would push ahead with cycle superhighways around London.
London’s air quality problem, he said, was caused by vehicle emissions from 8,300 worn and used diesel (柴油buses, which could be replaced by low-carbon vehicle. In addition, there were also 32,000 taxis running on diesel fuel, which could be replaced by electric vehicle.
Johnson said there would be a few programs in the next few years to produce a “cleaner, greener” bus for the city. “The age of the diesel bus has got to be over in London.”
68. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to this passage?
London’s air quality will be improved in the near future.
The used buses running on diesel will be replaced by electric vehicles.
London promises to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2025.
Something has been done to solve the problem of carbon dioxide emissions.
69What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?
A. resisting     B. supporting   C. agreeing        D. solving
70. The topic of the meeting in Seoul might be _____.
A. climate change                        B. global warming
C. London Olympics in 2012               D. green environment
71. If the passage was continually written, the following might be ______.
A. measures to end the age of the diesel bus
B. measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in London
C. measures to solve housing and commercial items
D. measures to replace the old and used vehicles

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the possible fewest words
If you ever felt like your doctor was trying to push you out of the examination room before you had a chance to explain your condition you are not alone.
A new study from the Mayo Clinic shows that most people agree on what makes a good doctor and it definitely isn’t one who hurries through a visit.
A doctor’s skills can affect a patient’s emotional response and recovery very positively or very negatively, a research shows. Based on the new study, which surveyed 192 patients, it can be concluded that a model doctor should be confident, sympathetic, kind, personal forthright, respectful and thorough.
“What every patient wants is a doctor who pays them personal attention” said James Li, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic Division of Allergic Diseases Li is helping to develop programs for teaching doctors how to strengthen their interactions with patients.
“It’s really the duty of the medical community to design a health care system, so that doctors are able to exhibit those qualities for the good of the patients,” he said.
Many patients nowadays are directed to urgent care facilities or , for lack of good insurance, forced to go to emergency rooms for problems that used to be handled right away. In either case, wait time can be hours and actual face time with a doctor might be just seconds.
“The days when doctors remembered their patients’ names might no longer exit , but medical schools can  fill in this crack  by adding in the seven behavioral things into their training.” Li said.
“If patients have opportunities to tell their stories, to be asked questions and have the doctors describe understanding of what has been shared , it leaves them feeling like they’re heard ” Lisaid.
(Note : Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)
81．When on duty, a doctor’s right behavior is___________.
_________________________________________________________________________________
82．What is the guarantee of exhibiting doctor’s good qualities?
_________________________________________________________________________________
83．By “fill in this crack”(underlined ) , the writer means_______.
_________________________________________________________________________________

B
I am a person who does not like to wait in line. However, I realize anger will get me nowhere. Considering this, I have decided to turn my frustration(沮喪) to productive ends. In short, I am constantly hunting around for what I call “waiting in line books”, especially those that are designed for being read in snippets(文摘), so there is no extended story line to lose track of. Another requirement is that they be small enough to slip neatly into my back pocket.
The other day I went to the supermarket and was surprised to see that the place was crowded with shoppers, but no worries. I parked my cart behind five others and pulled out my vocabulary builder. Within a few seconds I was totally absorbed, and rather than seething at the 15 minutes it took to advance to the cashier, I learned that nankeen is “a yellow cotton cloth”, or, in the plural, “trousers made of it”. The acquisition of new words led me into a place where I would otherwise not have enjoyed myself so much.
Once, at a yard sale, I found two small pocket books titled Sidelights on American History (copyright 1919). The seller approached as I looked through the pages. “You want them?”
“First I need to see if they fit,” I told him. He watched as I slipped Volume 1 into my back pocket. “Perfect. I’ll take them.”
10 minutes later, I was at the carwash, where the waiting line was six vehicles long. Thank goodness for my books! By the time my car was being soaped and power sprayed, I had learned about the Annapolis Convention, the early life of Aaron Bur.
The more the world demands that I wait, the more I learn from my waiting library. In fact, I have become so fond of my “waiting” books that my spirits actually rise when I see a long line I must stand in. It is most likely I would be regarded as a bookish, lonely soul. But little would they realize that I was enjoying the company of those “waiting” books. And just as Disraeli said, “Everything comes if a man will only wait”.
60. When buying a book the writer _____.
A. has his own rules                        B. prefers books of small size
C. chooses books by famous writers            D. has no particular appetite
61. The truth behind the story is that the writer wants to tell us _____.
A. reading is not only important but also practical
B. one is expected to learn to adjust oneself rather than complain
C. reading is the best way to kill time
D. knowledge is power and wisdom is fortune
62. The underlined expression in paragraph 3 “seething at” probably means _____.
A. angry at                   B. delighted at              C. surprised at        D. excited at
63. The sentence in Paragraph 2 “there is no extended story line to lose track of” shows that _____.
A. what the writer reads is not difficult to understand
B. the writer likes to read interesting stories while waiting in line
C. the writer can stop wherever needed with no plot to leave out
D. the writer does not necessarily reach his understanding

I don’t know. They all book interesting. Er, I think I’d like to go on the wildlife safari(游獵).
Really?
I prefer not places, you know, like South Africa.
Mm, I think the most exciting one is the trip to go to Greenland.

I mean you can really explore somewhere which isn’t full of people, especially other tourists.

Oh, come on. Rafting is great in Colorado. You can’t complain about it.

A
In the early morning of September 7, 2006, Akif woke suddenly．"Where am I?" she thought, confused, only to realize she'd fallen asleep in the children's bedroom in their east-end Montreal apartment．There was a sharp and acrid （刺鼻的） smell in the room．Could that be smoke? She leaped up, opened the door and began to cough．She ignored the flames that lit up the apartment as she raced across the small hall to her own bedroom, where a window was already open, "Help!" she cried into the dark．But it was 3:30 in the morning and nobody was around to hear．She was on her own．
Later, she'd say she thought of nothing at all．It was female's instinct （本能）that helped her uncover a supermum strength she never knew she had．She had no choice; her children would surely have died had they waited in their own bedroom for rescue．She ran back through the flames for her children, first lifting Sami, still half asleep, into her arms and carrying him to the open window in her room and dropping him to the ground from the second floor．Then, she turned back for Majda．
By then, a neighbour had called 9-1-1．Looking out of the window, Akif knew that jumping would be her only chance of survival．She also knew if she didn't, the very reason her family had moved out from Morocco five years earlier—— to make a better life and give the children opportunities they wouldn't have had back home ——would be for nothing．But why couldn't she move her left leg? She didn't know that her polyester pants had caught fire and melted into her body．All she knew was that she had to get out of the apartment．
56．After finding her house was on fire, Akifwent to her own room to _______.
A．save her children                            B．wake up her husband
C．a(chǎn)sk for help                                  D．escape from the fire
57．We can infer from the passage thatAkif__________．
A．was bom a brave lady                   B．was brave as a mother
C．liked to be independent                        D．was careless about her children
58．Why did Akifs family move to the country where they live?
A．Because they longed for a better life and more opportunities．
B．Because they had to continue their study abroad．
C．Because they were forced to leave their motherland．
D．Because they were fond of moving to new places．
59．What follows the last passage is probably about __________．
A．why Akif was praised                    B．what made Akif so brave
C．how the fire was put out                  D．how Akif was saved

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red?___71___ Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist（悲觀者）. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. ___72___If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
___73___A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.___74___ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
___75___It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A．On the other hand, black is depressing.
B．They tells us that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up——we are born with our preference.
C．The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
D．If you do, you must be an optimist（樂觀者）, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
G. Colors do influence our moods——there is no doubt about it .
