On the way home from school, Jack always passes a park. His mother said it was dangerous to pass by the park at night, but it is the fastest way home. Today, after finishing soccer practice, Jack was walking toward the park as usual.

Suddenly, Jack heard someone calling him, “Excuse me!” Jack turned around, and there was an old woman. “Yes, ma’am.” Jack answered politely. “Don’t pass by the park tonight.” Her voice was weak and dry. “Okay, ma’am,” said Jack carelessly. The old woman held Jack’s hand strongly, and said, “I mean it!” Jack felt the hairs on his neck stand up. As soon as the lady let go of his hand, he started to run. This time, he ran so fast that he didn’t have time to think where he was going.

When he stopped, he realized he was in the middle of the park. He remembered what the old woman had said, but it was too late. He thought, “It would be okay if I run really fast.” Suddenly, he heard someone scream(尖叫). Jack was too frightened to wonder who it was. He breathed as deep as possible. The screaming continued. He heard some fast footsteps approaching, so he turned around. It was the old lady! She walked toward him, and shouted “I told you not to come here!”

Frightened to death, Jack screamed sharply and ran home like an arrow. He thought he heard not only the old lady, but also some other people shouting at him, and it made him more terrified. As soon as Jack saw his mother, Jack said, “Mom! Do you now what just happened at the park?” Jack’s mother nodded, and said, “Yes, I know. There is a movie shooting tonight in the park.”  

60. What does the story mainly tell us?

D. Mother told Jack a frightening story.

61. Why does Jack prefer to pass the park?

Probably you have seen photos of the Grand Canyon（峽谷）, the great valley in the desert country of Arizona. But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty. The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world

The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years. Slowly, the river cut down through hard rock. At the same time, the land was rising. Today the canyon is 1.5 kilometers and 445 kilometers long. The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old. The width varies from about 200 meters to 29 kilometers across. The rim or top of the canyon is about 2,300 meters above sea level on the South Rim, and about 3,000 meters on the other side. As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon. The South Rim is dry desert country. The North Rim has tall forests.

The canyon looks different at different times of day, and in different seasons and weather. At sunrise and sunset the red, gold, brown and orange colors of the rocks are especially clear and bright. In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow.

The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best. Most visitors come here and stay in campgrounds or hotels. Every point along the canyon’s edge offers a different view.

The North rim of the Canyon is quieter. It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River. On the way, you go through Navado Indian lands, and a colorful pink desert called “The Painted Desert”.

1.The best way to feel the true beauty of the Grand Canyon is to________.

A．see its photographs

B．listen to the report about it

C．watch its introduction on TV

D．go there yourself and visit it

2. The scene of the canyon is ________.

A．various depending on different time and places

B．a(chǎn)lmost the same

C．various depending on different time

3. If you want to visit the North Rim from the South Rim, you________.

A．can go there in many direction

B．won’t spend much time on the way

C．can visit The Painted Desert on the way

D．needn’t go across any bridges

4. If you want to have a visit to the Grand Canyon, you’d better go to _______.

第二節(jié)：Peter，Helen，Catherine，Elizabeth和Levin想根據(jù)各自在環(huán)保方面的興趣(61—65)進(jìn)行案例研究。閱讀下面某雜志的專題報道摘要(A、B、C、D、E和F)，選出適合他們研究的最佳案例，并在答題紙上將相應(yīng)選項的標(biāo)號涂黑。選項中有一項是多余選項。

61. Peter: Reducing plastic and other wastes through DTY

62. Helen : Making use of the heavy traffic to produce electricity

63. Catherine: Building a community without private cars

64. Elizabeth: Building houses with recycled materials and energy-efficiency systems

65. Levin: Developing a new type of urban car which bums less gas

   

A

B

Vauban

   We know cars are terrible polluters, but would you give yours up? Vauban, a community in southwestem Germany, did just that, and its 5,000 citizens are doing fine. Most streets are free of vehicles, and there are generous green spaces and good public-transport links, including fast buses and bicycle paths.  When,, people must drive, they can turn to car-sharing clubs.  All the citizens had the chance to plan their own city," says Andreas Delleke, an energy expert, "and it's just how we wanted it to be. "

 

Denmark

   During the period of gas shortage in the early, 70s, Denmark decided to become self-sufficient ( 自足). So they began a few projects making smart investments along the way.

   On the island of Samsoe, local families, fishermen and farmers bought wind turbines (渦輪機(jī)],) to produce their own energy. Within seven years these turbines were completely paid for. And can you believe just one of wind turbines  produces  enough  electricity  for 600 households?

C

D

Trey Parker and Matt Stone

  Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have built a sustainable (可持續(xù)的) castle with outer siding and inner flooring of recycled wood, recycled carpeting, high-efficiency boiler systems.

  "I think more and more today, people are willing to make a statement about the Earth and how they want to proteet it," Michael Rath, home designer and builder says. "For high-end homes in this valley, this is entirely consistent with what they cost. "

P-NUT

  Who doesn't love the name P-NUT- short for Personal-Neo  Urban  Transport?  It's  Honda's  latest attempt to create a tiny footprint for a new urban vehicle.

  This little P-NUT is unique. With a central driving position, the car is designed to move in tight settings. The l 1-foot micro car will seat three with two rear-seat passengers behind the driver.

  "The P-NUT conce, pt explores the packaging and design potential for a vehicle designed for the city lifestyle,"  said  Dave  Marek,   a  Honda  design Spokesman.

E

F

Israel Company

  Is it possible that annoying rash hour traffic could become a source of renewable energy?

  Israel's Technion Institute of Technology claims that if we placed special generators ( 發(fā)電機(jī) ) under roads, railways, and runways -- we could harvest enough energy to mass-produce electricity. A trial process has been used on a smaller scale,  in dance clubs for instance, where the pounding feet of dancers light up the floor.

  "We can produce electricity anywhere there is a busy road using energy that normally goes to waste," said Uri Amit,  chairman  of  Israel's  Technion . Institute  Of Technology.

Coffee

  Coffee. Some of us can't start our day without it, and we don't mind waiting 10 minutes in line for it.

  Here is the most effective tip to make you a superstar in environment protection.

  Get a coffee machine for your home or office, or persuade your company into buying one.  ( Tell them it will improve productivity. ) Skip the coffee line on the way to work and make something that is better-tasting and much better for your wallet.

  Plus, you Won't need those plastic cups or carrying cases that jnst get thrown away.  Better yet, use your favorite travel mug.
