3.For most people,plastic bags are a necessity of any shopping trip.They might seem like an innocent way to carry groceries,but dealing with these bags can be harmful for the environment.
It's reported that the world uses about 500 billion plastic bags each year and fewer than 3% are recycled.Plastic bags that end up in oceans and beaches are harmful to fish,birds,and other animals.As a result,cities and states have been trying for years to find a way to get people to cut back on using plastic bags.
This year,New York City was prepared to add a 5-cent tax on the use of paper or plastic bags in stores,but Governor Andrea Cuomo signed a law that blocked(反對) the tax.Cuomo said the tax idea was"deeply faulty"because it would have allowed store owners to keep the money from the tax instead of putting it toward environmental efforts.Cuomo announced plans to create a task force to look into the plastic-bag problem.By the end of the year,the task force may suggest a statewide ban of plastic bags,a tax on them,or something entirely new.
Several cities around the country have either banned plastic bags or charged a fee for their use.In Washington,D.C.,the charge is 5 cents per bag.Since the fee started there,the number of plastic bags on the streets and waterways dropped by 60%.Seattle,Washington,has banned plastic carryout bags and charges a minimum of 5cents for paper.Chicago,Illinois,will soon add a 7-cent tax on paper and plastic bags.
In New York,some politicians who thwarted,a tax say it puts,too much to tress on low-income citizens and working families.They argue that those people need the money to spend on food,not on bags.

28.What do the majority of people think of plastic bags?C
A.They are easy to be recycled.
B.They do little harm to wild animals.
C.Shopping can't be done without them.
D.Handling them benefits the environment.
29.Why did Andrea Cuomo sign a law against the bag tax?A
A.Because he thought it was quite imperfect.
B.Because he thought it was something new.
C.Because he thought it would affect the sales of bags.
D.Because he thought it would increase consumers'burden.
30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?D
A.The higher bag fees are,the better.
B.Paper bags will eventually replace plastic bags.
C.More states in the USA will ban the use of plastic ones.
D.Charging bag fees helped decrease the use of plastic bags.
31.Which of the following can replace the underlined word"thwarted"in the last paragraph?B
A.desired     
B.opposed    
C.a(chǎn)bolished     
D.suggested.

Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.

When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts (選拔賽) and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.

Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投籃) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “Coach that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.

In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.

1.Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.

A. trained the team to the edge of death

B. expected the team to do well in their studies

C. asked the team to do more reading than training

D. concentrated on skill training

2.The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A. made less effort B. paid no attention

C. showed no interest D. had less passion

3.In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.

A. professional and serious B. skilled and cruel

C. hardworking and honest D. strict and helpful

10.In its early history,Chicago had floods frequently,especially in the spring,making the streets so muddy that people,horses,and carts got stuck.An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this:A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street.Asked if he needs help,he replies,"No,thanks.I've got a good horse under me."
The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system,but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level.The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.
An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12feet.
This of course created a new problem:dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice:either change the first floors of their buildings into basements,and the second stories into main floors,or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level.Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily.But what about large,heavy structures like Tremont Hotel,which was a six-story brick building?
That's where George Pullman came in.He had developed some house-moving skills successfully.To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel,Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤頂) beneath the building's foundation.One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10jackscrews.At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time,thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.Astonishingly,the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation,and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution.But in Chicago's early history,every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem.Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River,the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.
51.The author mentions the joke to showB.
A.horses were fairly useful in Chicago
B.Chicago's streets were extremely muddy
C.Chicago was very dangerous in the spring
D.the Chicago people were particularly humorous
52.The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough toD.
A.get rid of the street dirt
B.lower the Chicago River
C.fight against heavy floods
D.build the pipes above ground
53.The underlined word"hoist"in Paragraph 4means"B".
A.change
B.lift
C.repair
D.decorate
54.What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A
A.It went on smoothly as intended.
B.It interrupted the business of the hotel.
C.It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.
D.It separated the building from its foundation.
55.The passage is mainly about the early Chicago'sC.
A.popular life styles and their influences
B.environmental disasters and their causes
C.engineering problems and their solutions
D.successful businessmen and their achievements.
