21、In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable（可持续的）ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.
Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil（棕榈油）, which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.
【1】The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______.
A．it makes the world warmer
B．it consumes natural resources
C．it makes growth hard to continue
D．it brings severe damage to forests
【2】To fully develop the low-carbon markets, governments can ______.
A．cut public expenses
B．forbid carbon emission
C．develop public resources
D．encourage energy conservation
【3】We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ______.
A．develop sustainable products
B．explore new natural resources
C．make full use of natural resources
D．deal with the major challenge
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To compare two business models.
B．To introduce a new business model.
C．To advocate sustainable development.
D．To predict a change of the global markets.
22、Your friends might be in England or may be just next-door neighbors, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed a lot for millions of young people who like to make friends online around the world. Whether you use chat room, QQ, MSN or OICQ, you are in this group.
“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my friends on QQ,” said Tears in Hand, an online name used by a girl student in China.
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China now. A report from the company which developed QQ says that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October. And probably Tears in Hand was one of them. “I log in on Friday nights, Saturdays or Sundays, when I feel bored. I usually spend about ten hours chatting online every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.” Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online because she knows that she shouldn’t believe in the strangers online easily.
Many people like to meet online when they feel they have got to know someone very well. Tears in Hand once met one online friend face to face and they went to a football match together.
A boy named Blue Sky dislikes QQ users, “I used to chat on QQ, but I found most people are talking about foolish things. Now I only chat in English in MSN with my Japanese or American friends because I want to learn more about foreign cultures. So he spends very little time chatting on QQ and he thinks it’s a waste of time and money. He said, “If you are addicted to it, you can’t concentrate on your lessons. We should know that friends in our real life are more important than those online ones.
【1】From the first paragraph, we know “…they are all just a few clicks away” means “_____”.
A．it is wonderful to see your friends by clicking
B．it is impossible to make friend online
C．it is easy and fast to get in touch with your friends
D．it is popular to live much closer to your friends
【2】Tears in Hand thinks QQ is ___________.
A．the biggest messaging service in China
B．a good place to spend her boring time
C．a safe place to chat with strangers
D．the best place to make friends
【3】Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A．All the people on QQ are talking about foolish things.
B．Chatting online is helpful and interesting.
C．We can’t believe boys or men online.
D．We should think more of our friends in real life.
23、 My name is Michelle. I'm 27 years old, and I've been writing letters to my pen pal in England for 14 years.
Yes, a pen pal. Rachel and I have been writing letters to each other since the 8th grade. My reading teacher at the time helped our class find pen pals through a company called International Youth Service (unfortunately closed in 2008).
On February 28, 2006, I received a letter back from the girl from England. Our letters started to turn into novellas(中篇小说) pretty quickly. We began spilling our guts to each other about all sorts of teenage stuff—boys, namely.
We continued writing letters throughout college, but they started to slow down with the age of the Internet and Facebook. It was both a blessing and a curse, because if I needed to share something with her right away, I didn't have to wait two weeks for a response. But there was still no better feeling than opening up my mailbox and seeing past the advertisements and campus happenings and finding a letter with her handwriting on the envelope waiting for me.
One would think that we are more connected than ever in a world of text messaging and social media—but honestly, I don't think this could be further from the truth. We are losing the personal touch, the quality of the time it takes to put into a friendship. Think about letter writing—it's not expensive. An international stamp costs $1.15.
It's not the expense. It's the time. The time it takes to go to the store and pick out a card or stationary. The time it takes to actually hand-write a letter. The time it takes to address the envelope, go to the post office, pay, and mail the letter out. And I believe this is what makes letter writing so personal and special.
【1】How did Michelle find a pen pal?
A．By reading a novel.
B．By travelling to England.
C．Through the Internet.
D．Through a company.
【2】Why did Michelle’s letter writing slow down ?
A．Because the Internet occupied more communication.
B．Because she didn’t want to wait too long for a reply.
C．Because opening up the mailbox is troublesome.
D．Because too many advertisements took up the mail box.
【3】What happens in a world of text messaging and social media?
A．We become closer to each other.
B．We are losing the quality time of friendship.
C．Letter writing becomes more expensive.
D．Letter writing becomes cheaper.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Letter writing takes too much time.
B．Letter communication needs several steps.
C．Time spent in letter writing makes it valuable.
D．Time spent in letter writing makes it expensive.

As soon as they had entered the house，Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said,“This is Kazrim. ”Just right after her speech，an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.
He said. “YOU CAN TALK?”It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask，too.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两般，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jack a clerk at the local bank, was wandering alone along the street. It was a cold, silent winter night. His mind was on his wife Linda, who had been in a car accident two months ago and was now lying in a hospital bed, waiting for more money for her operation. Jack had sold everything he had, and he had tried his best to borrow money from all the people and banks he could. But the real world is cruel. A large amount of money was still needed. To Jack, it would mean a great deal of suffer in his wife die without any help. “I have only one choice left,” Jack said to himself. Then he went to the bank, his work place, again. For several days, he observed the bank and planned a theft. (偷窃)
The next day, he went to work as usual. Everything seemed normal: he joked with his workmates and helped his customers as he always did. But no one noticed that he had brought a bigger suitcase to work, instead of the small one he always carried. At 5:00 pm, the bank closed, and the clerks and the guards had all gone home. However, at that moment, Jack was in the bathroom, and the guards didn’t notice him, of course. When the noises coming from the street were replaced by silence and everything turned dark, Jack came out from the bathroom. He first cut the lines of the alarms and monitors with tools from his new suitcase. He was all too familiar with the equipment since he had been working there for 8 years and had been studying the security(安全) system for the past 30 days. Using a special key and some other tools, he then easily opened the doors of the safes. The bank’s security system wasn’t very good, which allowed Jack to take a lot of money. Several minutes later, Jack left the bank with a heavy bag filled with money.
