1.Like most new fathers,Samuel Forrest was excited to meet his son,but he had no idea just how much that first meeting would change his life.
   On 21 January,baby Leo was born with Down's Syndrome(唐氏綜合癥).
"They took me in to see him and I looked at this guy and I said,he's beautiful,he's perfect and I'm absolutely keeping him."Forrest told ABC News.
   But Forrest's wife did not share the same feelings.She reportedly gave Forrest a deadline,saying if the father wanted to keep the baby,she would divorce him.
   Forrest,from Auckland,New Zealand,said he was unaware that hospitals in Armenia"will tell you that you don't have to keep babies with Down's Syndrome."
   He's now planning to raise Leo by himself as a single father back in his native country of New Zealand,where he can be near friends and family for support.
   The new father has created a GoFundMe page called"Bring Leo Home"to collect money for the costly move.
"This really happened to me unexpectedly,"he told ABC news."I don't have a lot.I have very little in fact."The goal is to raise enough for a year so I can get a part-time job so Leo doesn't have to be in daycare and I can help care for him."
   ABC News spoke to Leo's mother Ruzan Badalyan who said that she did have a child with Down's Syndrome and that she had left her husband.She declined to comment further.
   The father's GoFundMe page has already raised over $175,000 in just nine days.The page now states that additional funds will be given out to charity.
"We'd also like to share the extra money with the only orphanage in Armenia that regularly takes abandoned Down's Syndrome babies as well as other organizations that can help these children,"it says.
24.What was Forrest's reaction when he first saw his son?A
A.Delighted.B.Disappointed.C.Embarrassed.D.Shocked.
25.Why was Forrest's wife unwilling to keep the boy?C
A.Because her husband wanted to divorce her.

A.To bring up Leo by himself.
B.To help the children with Down's Syndrome.
C.To take the money back to New Zealand.

11.What to do with dehydration (脫水)?If you can,try not to get dehydrated in the fast place.If you're going outside,it's a good idea to drink water before,during and after you play,especially if it is hot.Dehydration can happen along with heat-related illness,such as heat exhaustion.In addition to drinking  water,it's smart to dress in cool clothes,and take breaks indoors or at least in the shade.
If you're sick,keep taking small sips of drinks like water or juice,even if you're not that thirsty or hungry.Eating an icepop (冰棒 ) is a great way.Other foods,such as fruits and vegetables,contain water,too.But if your stomach is not feeling well,you might not be ready for them.

Some cases of dehydration can be handled at home,but sometimes,that isn't enough.A kid may need to go to the doctor if he or she has a heat-related illness that just won't quit.At the hospital,if necessary,you'll get a fluid infusion(補液)It will help you feel much better and recover faster.

12.Besides giving off gases and dusts into the air,humans produce waste that is poured on the environment.Often,this waste produced by major industries and people is harmful to both nature and human life.
One of the main causes of the large amount of dangerous waste is that people do not realize how large a problem it is.Because it can be simply removed and sent to a landfill(廢渣填埋場),the problem is often believed to end there.In addition,industries have often shown an unwillingness to find ways to deal with dangerous waste because of the re-lated expenses.Many industries and governments build simple landfills to store waste,and often just pour waste chemicals into nearby bodies of water.Often,chemicals used for industrial production cause dangerous forms of waste.The amount of these chemicals has increased greatly in the past,but it is often difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a way safe to human life and the environment.
Every year,major health problems result from dangerous waste.Sadly,it is often only after someone has died or become seriously ill that governments will take measures to reduce levels of harmful waste.
Some governments have realized how serious the dangerous waste problem is and are now trying to settle this problem.They are also trying to limit the amount of waste industries are allowed to produce.
Not only governments but ordinary people as well must work together to solve the problem.They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of dangerous waste,and produce less harmful waste themselves.Many scientists think that waste production can be cut.The waste can be reduced by at least one third using existing technologies and methods.
56.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.Measures of Reducing Dangerous Waste     
B.Danger of Harmful Waste to Mankind
C.Dangerous Waste and Water Pollution      
D.Environmental Protection
57.According to the text,peopleC.
A.do not produce harmful waste in their daily life
B.do not know where to place the dangerous waste

58.What troubles industries most in dealing with the dangerous waste problem?D
A.How to get government support.
B.How to increase their production.
C.How to store harmful waste.
D.How to cut down the related costs.
59.What can be inferred from the passage?A
A.To solve the problem requires the efforts of the whole society.
B.Present technologies have settled the harmful waste products.
C.Everyone should obey the government rules for the problem.
D.The polluting industries are not allowed to sell their products.

16.A group of police blocks off narrow streets with their cars.They move quietly,spot the target,and close in,taking a group of smugglers(走私販) by surprise.A few seconds later,the victims are discovered.
The location:a street market in the city of Sao Paulo,Brazil.The victims:birds,American lizards,and tortoises snatched(搶走) from the wild.The smugglers planned to sell them at the market.
"People who want to own a wild animal increase the illegal wild animal trade,"says Juliana Machado Ferreira,a National Geographic explorer who works to fight the illegal wildlife trade.Removing too many animals from the wild upsets the balance of nature."If people truly love wildlife,they will want them to be free,"she says.
Each day illegally caught wild animals are carried thousands of miles to be sold as pets,food,or ingredients for traditional medicines."Wildlife illegal trade is one of the largest illegal trades in the world,worth about 20billion dollars a year,"says Matthew Pritchett of Freeland,an organization that fights the illegal wildlife trade."The United States is one of the top three markets in the world for illegal wildlife products."
Smugglers use special ways to take the animals through airport security checks.But smart police use their own tricks to catch them.Read the following story.
How many finches-small singing birds-can you fit inside a purse?At least 25,as it turns out.When a woman from Guyana,a country in northeast South America,started acting nervously at JFK airport,U.S.customers and border protection agents x-rayed her bags.They found birds called seed finches stuffed inside hair curlers!The agent called FWS (Fish & Wildlife Service) officers to take the birds,which will live at a zoo.The woman,however,was singing a different song.
33.What is Paragraph 1mainly about?A
A.Police catching smugglers.
B.A game of hide-and-seek.
C.Victims being found.
D.A scene of a movie.

B.could be in prison
C.tried to disturb the inspection

6.Aside from doing schoolwork and studying,American students must also participate in various extra-curricular activities.Many students get involved in their communities by doing volunteer work at various local organizations.In fact,the school I attend even requires students to perform a certain number of hours of volunteer work per semester.It is part of our study hall(自修課) grade,as well as a graduation requirement.
There are many places to do volunteer work in the community.Some of my classmates volunteer at the local animal shelter,the community table (which provides free meals for needy families),charity(慈善) stores,and many others.Finding a suitable place to volunteer usually depends on what's available,as well as personal interests.For example,a friend of mine who enjoys swimming volunteers at the recreation center to teach young children how to swim.
With all these options out there,I ended up doing most of my volunteer work at a school library and a non-profit bookstore called Friends of the Library.This bookstore sells donated books at cheap prices,and all the profits made are donated to the local library.
I thought it was very fitting that I do my volunteer work at a library and a bookstore,because reading has always been very important to me.I love working in the bookstore now,because every sale we make helps our public library expand,and gives it the funds needed to purchase new books.
I think everyone should have the opportunity to read,and that we each should do our part to help those who don't have the chance.There is a charity event,called One Book for A Window of Opportunity,in which Chinese students can donate a book to the children of the poor village Fangmaping.They don't have a lot of resources,so reading can be a challenge.To find out more about this event,please visit:http://bbs.enfamily.cn/thread-739278-1-1.html.

54.This passage is written byB.
A.a(chǎn) Chinese student
B.a(chǎn)n American student
C.a(chǎn) Chinese teacher 
D.a(chǎn)n American teacher

13.Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.A man goes shopping because he needs something.His purpose is settled and decided in advance.He knows what he wants,and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration.All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want.If the shop has it in stock,the salesman promptly produces it,and the business of trying it on follows at once.All being well,the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes,with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
For a man,slight problems may begin when the shop doesn't have what he wants.In that case the salesman,as the name implies,tries to sell the customer something else,he offers the nearest he can to the article required.No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill:"I know this jacket is not the style you want,sir,but would you like to try it for size?It happens to be the colour you mentioned."Few men have patience with this treatment,and the usual response is:"This is the right colour and may be the right size,but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on."
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes?In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based on need.She has never fully made up her mind what she wants,and she is only"having a look round".She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her,even by what companions tell her.She will try on any number of things.Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.Contrary to a lot of jokes,most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes.They are always on the lock-out for the unexpected bargain.Faced with a roomful of dresses,a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another,to and fro,often retracing her steps,before selecting the dresses she wants to try on.It is a laborious process,but apparently an enjoyable one.Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

29.When a man is buying clothes,heD.
A.doesn't always know what to buy
B.puts price in the first place
C.is easily persuaded by the salesman
D.may finish the deal quickly
30.What will happen if a man cannot get exactly what he wants?B
A.He will take the salesman's advice to buy another one
B.He will usually leave the shop without what he wants
C.He will choose a similar one in size or in colour
D.He will spend more time to find what he likes
31.When shopping for clothes,womenC.
A.have their husbands wait for them
B.don't enjoy the tiring process
C.welcome suggestions from anyone
D.don't always care about price
32.What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?D
A.Men buy things of good quality while women don't.
B.Women bargain for their clothes while men do not.
C.The fact whether they try on clothes before buying.
