15、When we consider the plastic packages we use every day, we might think about the harm to the environment. But few of us wonder whether or not these packages might actually be bad for our health. In fact, scientists in the UK believe that “plastic pollution could be about to get personal” for British teenagers.
According to a report in the Sunday Times in February, scientists at Exeter University tested 94 students aged 17-19 and found mark of a chemical called Bisphenol A(BPA,双酚 A) in the bodies of
86% the teenagers..
BPA, explained Science Daily, is widely added to plastic packages to make them strong. The chemical can be found in plastic bags and water bottles. DVDs, CDs and sunglasses also have BPA.
To understand the possible dangers of BPA, we have to understand the human endocrine( 内分
泌的) system. The endocrine system produces something special which affects our growth slowly. Once inside the body, BPA influences the human endocrine system and may affect some body functions.
The US Food and Drug Administration has banned the use of BPA in the making of baby bottles in order to stop BPA going into baby bodies. And some worry BPA may cause diabetes(糖尿 病) and heart conditions, but they are not sure. So, if you really want to continue using plastic bottles,
you can do that, but don’t forget to recycle them.
1.Which of the following things don’t have BPA according to the article?
A.Plastic bags. B.Glass bottles. C.Sunglasses. D.Water bottles.
2.What did the scientists at Exeter University find?
A.BPA makes no difference to the students.
B.It’s hard to get rid of BPA inside the body.
C.BPA causes great harm to teenagers’ health.
D.Many tested teenagers have BPA in the bodies.
3.What can we learn about BPA from the article?
A.It’s just harmful to our environment.
B.It’s widely used in plastic packages.
C.It’s added to plastic to make it clearer.
D.It’s no longer allowed in food packages.
4.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined “banned” in the article?
A.禁止. B.管理. C.控制. D.减少.
5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A.Plastic prevents the body from growing fast.
B.BPA will cause diabetes and heart diseases.
C.BPA may make the body behave differently.
D.We must keep away from the plastic bottles.

16、A blind boy sat there with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins and dropped them into the hat .He then turned the sign around and wrote something on it. He put the sign back and walked away.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boyrecognizedhis footsteps and ask, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you do?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth in a different way.”
What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can’t see it.”
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second one told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second one told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

17、Elephants losing tusks
People killing elephants for their tusks has long been a problem worldwide. Although laws have been introduced to ban the selling of tusks, they have not been enough to save the elephants.
But the giant animals have now “developed” their own solution to stay safe from hunters----by not growing tusks at all.
Scientists found that among female African elephants, as many as 98 percent of them now have no tusks, reported The Independent newspaper. The number was 15 percent in 1998 and only 1 percent in 1930, according to the BBC.
But this solution has less been developed by elephants themselves, and more by evolution.
Evolution is all about natural selection(选择). When an environment changes, for example, animals and plants that can deal with the change will stay alive while others won’t. And for elephants, the change came when hunters started killing them for their tusks. As a result, elephants with big tusks couldn’t stay alive because hunters wanted to shoot them. Those born with tusks managed to stay alive and give their “tuskless” genes(基因)to their babies. As a result, more and more elephants are now being born without tusks.
But this solution, as effective(有效地)as it might be, is a high price to pay for elephants. Tusks are important and play a number of roles, especially for male elephants, including fighting with other males, lifting and digging things up.
This is why scientists hope there can be other ways to protect elephants against hunters. They believe that when they are less likely to be killed , elephants will be able to grow tusks again.
To David Cowdrey, head of Policy and Campaigns at the International Found for Animal Welfare UK, however, this is not very likely to happen in the near future.
“Unfortunately, it comes down to the markets,” he told The Guardian. “As long as people will pay high prices for products that come from endangered animal and plants, they’re going to have price on them and that causes the hunting.”
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Elephants learned to lift and dig things up without tusks.
B.Elephants chose not to grow tusks because of their dangerous environment.
C.Elephants with no tusks had a greater chance of passing down their genes.
D.A tuskless elephant gives birth to more baby elephants than an elephant with big tusks.
2.The underlined word “evolution” in paragraph 4 means “_________” ?
A.gradual change B.sudden development C.complete loss D.rapid growth
3.What can you learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.We should work out a better solution to protect elephants.
B.People should pay lower prices for products made with elephant tusks.
C.Elephants’ living environments will soon be improved.
D.The key to elephant protection is stopping the trade in tusk products.

19、Last Sunday afternoon, I went to Tianjin Library to read my favourite books there. When I was on the second floor, I found some uncivilized phenomena. I saw a boy who was about 4 years old shouting and running noisily. He didn’t read the books at all. What’s more, his mother didn’t stop him and just talked on the phone loudly. What should I do then? I walked towards the little boy and told him that it was wrong to do so. The boy said “sorry” and went back to his seat quietly.
In my point of view, this mother set a bad example for her child. It is important for her to tell his son some public rules. As long as everyone follows these rules, all of us will be in a civilized society.
