【題目】The International Painting Contest on Google’s homepage in 2015 may look pretty strange，but it spotlightings a very serious issue：clean water, which is unusual for an 11-year-old from Long Island．

Audrey Zhang，a fifth-grader from Levittown，N．Y，is the winner of this year’s Doodle 4 Google contest，rising to the top of some 100，000 entries on the theme of“draw one thing to make the world a better place．”

Her piece，titled“Back to Mother Nature，”describes a detailed water-cleaning machine．Zhang worked with a team of artists at Google to animate(使……生動(dòng))her drawing．

“To make the world a better place，I came up with a transformative water purifier, a machine used to remove dirty or harmful substances，”Google quoted Zhang as saying．“It takes in dirty and polluted water from rivers，lakes and even oceans，then massively transforms the water into clean，safe and pure water. When humans and animals drink this water, they will live a healthier life．”

She created a whole world around the device—one populated by humans， a whale in a top hat and dragons．

Zhang，s piece is“so vivid and so rich and so full and so complete，’’Google Doodle team leader Ryan Germick told the Washington Post．“Every leaf seemed to have life in it．”

Along with having her artwork featured on Google’s homepage，Zhang wins a $30，000 college scholarship．In addition，her school will receive a $50，000 Google for Education technology grant，and the company is donating $20，000 in her name to a charity devoted to bringing clean water to schools in Bangladesh．

On Sunday, the night before her work was revealed on net，Zhang told Newsday she was excited by the big win，but said she wouldn't be awake when her art first went online at midnight．

“I have school-tomorrow, so I can’t stay up late，”she told the paper．

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

(2011年湖北)In today's throwaway society，dealing with the city's growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council(市議會(huì))．

Recently，Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of(處理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner－largely through encouraging recycling－its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.

The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy，regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh，East Lothian，West Lothian，Midlothian and Borders) face fines around ￡18 million a year from 2013 if they don't increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind，the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant(垃圾焚燒廠) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city's waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.

After the plan was abandoned，a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city's waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar，offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.

Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015，it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned/span> it down－after 700 local objections reached them－because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.

That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013，only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targets are met，there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due to this，Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.

【1】The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ________.

A．recycling

B．restoring

C．burying

D．burning

【2】The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to ________.

A．reduce the cost of burying waste

B．meet the EU requirements

C．speed up waste recycling

D．replace landfill sites

【3】The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because ________.

A．it came from a private company

B．the council was not interested in it

C．it was not supported by EU

D．the local people were against it

【4】What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils?

A．To open a new landfill nearby.

B．To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.

C．To set up a plant for burning waste.

D．To persuade people to reduce their waste.

【題目】The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually，many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example，people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so，and have to spend money seeing a doctor.

Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet，such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits，seems to be quite important.

One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise , which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise ，such as running，walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.

In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.

However，stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all，prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.

【1】 What's the best title of the passage?

A. Prevention or Education? B. Prevention or Treatment?

C. Health or Illness? D. Exercise or Illness?

【2】 Which of the following can replace the underlined word "bankrupt"?

A. Unable to be cured.

B. Unable to pay one's debts.

C. Stronger than ever before.

D. More successful than ever before.

【3】 We learn from the passage that ______ .

A. dressing warmly can prevent diseases

B. a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise

C. the more health education，the better

D. the government's health budget should be increased

【4】 Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

CP( Central Point) P( Point) Sp( Sub-point 次要點(diǎn))C ( Conclusion)

With the help of Annie, a roommate of me, I soon get used to live without my parents around. Annie, like many other Russian girls, are nice and lively. We became friends shortly after we met each other. Although his English is a little hardly to understand, we enjoy chatting and we usually talk a lot about our friends.
