Pakistani youth activist Malala Yousafza

11、i was awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, October 10. She is the youngest Nobel winner in history. Malala shares the prize with Kailash Satyarthi, a 60-year-old man from India who has helped lead a movement to end child slavery around the world.Malala Yousafzai has never been ordinary. Whe

12、n she was just 11 years old，she started blogging about the Taliban takeover of her hometown of Mingora, in northwestern Pakistan. Taliban members follow an extreme version of Islam, 4and believe young girls like Malala should not go to school Classrooms throughout the Swat district of Pakistan, wher

13、e Malala was living, were closed for several months. Malala spoke publicly about her desire to go back to school “All I want is an education， ” she told one television broadcaster.When the Pakistani government regained control, Malala was able to return to class. She continued to blog and speak out

14、about girls, right to education. But on October 9，2012, the Taliban tried to silence her. A gunman boarded her school bus and shot her on the left side of her forehead Malala survived, and showed great courage and optimism during her long recovery. During this time, she became a symbol of the strugg

15、le for girls rights all over the world.Malalas mission for peace is unstoppable. Nine months after she was shot, she gave a now-famous speech at the UN. “They thought that the bullets would silence us. But they failed,” she said. “And then, out of that silence came thousands of voicesWeakness, fear

18、ientists attending a meeting in Chicago presented new studies showing how food and its production affect global warming. They offered some suggestions for how to eat in a more environmen-tally friendly way.5For many years, scientists have warned us that our planet is getting warmer. If current trend

19、s continue,animals may start to die off and life could get very difficult for everyone. The temperature is rising because humans have been releasing massive amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which surround the planet and keep heat from escaping. One of these gases is carbon dioxide.Mo

20、st carbon dioxide we produce comes from the process of making and eating food, the scientists reported in Chicago. The production of meat contributes to a lot of carbon dioxide. And much of meats contribution comes from beef, which is responsible for releasing even more greenhouse gases into the atm

21、osphere.The process of making a hamburger, for example, requires a lot of energy. A cow has to be fed and raised, and cows wastes are a major source of greenhouse gases. After the cow is killed, the meat has to be processed and shipped to a consumer, which takes fuel. And most of the cow wont even b

22、e used for meat that people eatBy the time a hamburger finally lands on a dinner plate, it has taken a heavy toll on the environment It is believed that the process of making a half-pound of beef burger adds about 19 times the weight of hamburgers in carbon dioxide.The message is clear： We can great

23、ly reduce the production of greenhouse gases by eating less beef. Other kinds of meat like pork and chicken do less harm to the environmentat least in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases released. Nathan Pelletier，a scientist at Dalhousie University in Canada, reported that if everyone in indust

24、rial countries ate chicken instead of beef, we would cut the earths greenhouse gases by more than half.All kinds of meat, the scientists reported, are harder on the planet than vegetables. To grow and eat a pound of potatoes, for example, sends less than one quarter pound of carbon dioxide into the

25、air. So shifting our diet to less meat and more vegetables may do the world some good.624. What is likely to happen if the climate is getting warmer according to the passage?A. Sea level will continue to rise sharply. B. Human beings wont have enough food.C. It would be very hard for man to survive.

26、 D. All the animals and plants will disappear.25. Why does the author mention the process of making a hamburger?A. To show meat is usually part of a hamburger.B. To show that our food contributes to greenhouse gases.C. To prove making a hamburger is a complex process.D. To suggest a lot of energy is

27、 needed when making a hamburger.26. The author believes one effective way to fight global warming is .A. we should eat no pork and no chicken B. we should eat more chicken than beefC.we should eat not meat but vegetables D.we should eat less meat and more vegetables27. Which of the following stateme

28、nts would Nathan Pelletier agree to?A. Eating pork and chicken is more environmentally friendly.B. Meat consumption is the main cause of greenhouse gases.C. People in industrial countries consume more beef than fish.D. Eating more beef is a more efficient way to save more energy.CSo long as teachers

29、 fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading ability on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists

30、that reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the 7climate that will make it possible for children to th

31、ink up the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity. It can be seen and observed. .Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of th

32、e mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which

33、means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience to children ”.When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is removed Learning to read is

34、made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.28. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that .A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless

35、 hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading29.

36、e a difficult task when A. children become highly motivatedB. reading enriches childrens experienceC. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable8D. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge31.The main idea of the passage is that .A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping st

37、udents leam to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believedDFor kids and many adults, a San Diego vacation means theme parks and other attractions.

Then you are probably quiet，shy, and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be pessimist (悲观主义者）.At least, this is what psy

47、chologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours 10have on human beings. 37 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.38

48、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. 39 A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀）than any other bridge in the area-until it was
