6.Plastic bags are everywhere!Every day,we are handed countless plastic bags:when we go to grocery stores,clothing stores,book stores and restaurants.Yes,sometimes,they are  convenient,but most of the time,they are avoidable.A plastic bag is just not necessary for that apple you are about to eat or that soda you are going to drink right away.Consider these questions:
    Do I need to take as many plastic bags in supermarkets?
    Do I need a plastic bag for an item purchased that is already well packaged?
    Could I bring my own shopping bag when making purchases?
    Plastic bags are the cause of major environmental concerns.It is thought that an average person uses around 130 plastic bags per year.Using fewer plastic bags is a must in solving environmental problems.
Reasons why you should limit your use of plastic bags:
  1.Plastic bags account for a major part of our waste in landfills(垃圾填埋場(chǎng)).Plastic
    bags are light and hard to contain.Because of this,plastic bags fly easily in wind,float along in the currents of rivers and oceans,and get caught in trees and fences.
  2.Plastic bags are made from a non-renewable natural resource(資源):oil.Therefore,this contributes to the disappearance of our natural resources.
  3.Countless plastic bags end up in our oceans and cause harm to our sea life.Many sea animals and birds mistakenly eat and choke on plastic or become tied up in plastic bags that are floating around.
  4.There are many better alternatives to plastic bags.Paper bags hold more than plastic bags.But the best alternative to using plastic bags is using cloth bags.

46.What's the main idea of the first paragraph?A
A.Plastic bags are uncontrollable
B.Plastic bags are unnecessary.
C.Plastic bags are inconvenient
D.Plastic bags are dangerous.
47.Which of the following is NOT the reason for limiting the use of plastic bags?D
A.They speed up the disappearance of oil
B.They threaten the lives of sea animals.
C.They do harm to trees and fences
D.They pollute the environment.
48.The best thing people can do to help solve the plastic bag problem is toC
A.stop making plastic bags from oil
B.use paper bags instead of plastic bags
C.bring their own cloth bags when shopping
D.pick up plastic bags found in rivers and oceans.

2."Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low-carbon economy.In terms of energy saving and green economy,China doesn't lag behind developed nations,"said Zhou Changyi,director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
"While we can learn many aspects from developed nations,they also should learn something from us,such as water conservation,"Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China's Industrialization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair.
He said industrialized nations and China are dealing with different issues to fight climate change.The United Kingdom,for example,is oncerned about transport,buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emissions.For China,the most urgent task is how to realize new type of industrialization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized.
Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product life-cycle assessment,or LCA,which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing(制造業(yè)) stage through its usage and recycling.
Tobias Becker,head of ABB's process automation division for North Asia and China,said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.
LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its life-cycle instead of on its initial investment.
Richard Hausmann,North East Asia CEO of Siemens,said,"The color of future industrialization is green."
The Germany company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6billion Euros ( US 8.8billion) for intelligent power networks,Smart Grid,over the next five years.Siemens has set a 20percent market share target for the global smart grid business.
A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology,advanced sensors specialized computers that save energy,reduce costs and increase reliability.The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid.

14.A group of students in Japan have created an eerily (怪異的) realistic robot baby to motivate young people to start planning a family and boost the country's birth rate.The automated doll developed at the University of Tsukuba,called Yotara,giggles (咯咯地笑) and"wakes up"when a rattle(撥浪鼓) is shaken.
He can become angry and doze off (打瞌睡)like a real baby and smiles when his stomach is rubbed.The robot can also sneeze and have a runny nose,thanks to a heated water pump system.The students of the Graduate School of Comprehensive Human Sciences created the robot with touch sensors.A projector beams ( 照射) the facial features onto a warm silicon balloon which makes up Yotara's face.The robot's facial expressions and body movements change according to pressure applied to different parts of its body.
The information collected through touch sensors under the silicon skin is processed by a special programme.It then changes the baby's expression projected onto the balloon-face from behind.Its head with a bonnet(童帽),a colourful blanket covers the robot's limbs which stimulate wiggling with the help of a geared motor."We wanted to create a new type of robot that is soft,cuddly and cute,"said project leader Hiroki Kunimura.
"We'd like people to experience the innocent,joyful expressions typical of small babies.Through this experience,it would be great if some people started feeling that they wanted to have their own baby,if they started feeling that working is not everything."
Japan's birth rate is among the lowest in the developed world at 1.37%,compared to 2.12% in the United States and l.84% in Britain.According to a ministry of labor and welfare report,Japan is facing serious economic consequences with over a quarter of its citizens expected to be aged over 65by 2015.The population is expected to shrink by a third within 50years if the birth rate does not increase.

60.What is the purpose of creating such a robot baby in Japan according to the text?A
A.To increase Japan's birth rate.
B.To give small children a great deal of pleasure.
C.To comfort the young people who are lonely.
D.To help old people who live alone.
61.It can be inferred from the text thatB.
A.the robot baby's head is covered with a bonnet and a colourful blanket
B.some people think working is everything in Japan
C.Japan's birth rate is the lowest in the world
D.people would like to experience the innocent,joyful expressions typical of small babies
62.What is Japan's problem according to the author?D
A.Most young people don't want to have a family.
B.Japan's birth rate is increasing at present.
C.The lifetime of Japanese will decrease in future.
D.Japan will lack workforce by 2015.
63.From the text we can learn that YotaraC.
A.can react at what you say to him                  B.show no emotion of human beings

1.American children aren't the only couch potatoes.According to a study of over 70,000teens in 34nations,nearly 1/3of children globally spend three hours a day or more watching TV or on computers.From Argentina to Zambia,Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children aren't getting enough exercise and it made no difference if they lived in a rich or a poor country."With regard to physical activity levels,we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries,"Guthold said."Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity."The study,published in The Journal of Pediatrics,looked at 72,845schoolchildren aged 13to 15from North an South America,Asia,Europe,and the Middle East.The children were surveyed between 2003and 2007.

15.Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it?Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind.How can you use this to increase your brain power?Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words,you are telling yourself the logic(邏輯)behind what you think,feel,or only partly understand.Often,explaining a thought is the process of understanding.In other words,you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power."
Try this experiment.Explain how you'll increase your brain power,even if you have no idea how right now.Just start with anything,and create an explanation.For example,start with"I'll learn chess,"or"I'll read an article on the mind every week."Explain how that will help.You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan,and if you actually do this,you'll have a better understanding of your brain from now.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.Many,if not most,highly productive people are always taking notes.You can try keeping it all in your head,but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project,you'll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic?Write a book about it.That's an extreme example,but if you are learning something new,write a letter to a friend about it,and you will understand it better.Want to invent something?Write an explanation of the problem,why you want to solve it,and why it is worth solving,and you're half-way there.
Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.Often,they write about something because they want to understand it.You can do the same.Writing will help bring you to an understanding.Give it a try.
56.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.A Way on How to Write.
B.Increase Your Brain Power through Writing.
C.Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing.
D.How to Start Your Writing.
57.According to the text,writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPTC.
A.the increase of your brain power   
B.the ability to remember
C.the development of your interest in study   
D.the better understanding of a topic
58.If a writer writes something,it means that he or sheB.
A.has understood it very well          
B.needs to understand it better
C.wants to remember it in his or her mind  
D.is exercising his or her"explain power"
59.The underlined sentence"you're half-way there"in the fifth paragraph implies thatD.
A.you are already successful           
B.you still need to work hard
C.writing can help you walk half way 
D.writing is important to solve problems
60.What's the main purpose of the writer writing the text?A

C.To persuade readers to become writers.
D.To increase readers'brain power.

16.If you want to stay young,sit down and have a good think.This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors,who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and,as a result,we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age,and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University,he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain,which have something to do with intellect and feelings,and decide the human character.As we all know,the back part of the brain,which controls task like eating and breathing,does not contract with age.
Contraction of front and side parts-as cells die off-was seen in some people in their thirties,but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction-using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns."Those with least possibility,"says Matsuzawa,"are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors.White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are,however,as possible to have contracting brains as the farm worker,bus driver and shop assistant."
