The 16­year­old Canadian high school student，Daniel Burd，from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade(分解) in as few as 3 months，a finding that won him first prize at the Canada­Wide Science Fair，a $10,000 prize，a $20,000 scholarship，and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue. Burd’s strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade，it must be eaten by microorganisms(微生物)．If those microorganisms could be identified，we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions. With this goal in mind，he ground plastic bags into a powder and concocted(调制) a solution of household chemicals，yeast(酵母)and tap water to encourage microbes growth.Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months.Finally，he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags，exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control.Sure enough，the plastic exposed to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks. The inputs are cheap：Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work，and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide. “Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door，I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me.One day，I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags.The answer：not much.So I decided to do something myself，”said Daniel Burd. 36．Daniel Burd won first prize at the Canada­Wide Science Fair because________. A．he found a new kind of microorganism B．he contributed much to environmental protection C．he found a way to degrade plastics in shorter time D．he could encourage microbes growth in an easier way 37．Daniel Burd exposed one plastic sample to dead bacteria to________. A．make the live bacteria work better B．test how effective his method was C．know which bacteria worked faster D．control the temperature in the process 38．Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because________. A．plastics can get hot easily B．microbes can produce heat themselves C．much carbon dioxide is produced D．the temperature can be controlled 39．Daniel Burd got his idea from________. A．his school textbook B．the failure of researchers C．his everyday work D．the practice of other people B It used to be that Christmas，with a little help from Blue Peter，was about adding the personal touch.We’d sit there for hours making cards and gifts for family and friends，knowing that the thought put into them would be properly appreciated.

Water shortage，already serious in Egypt and Sudan，will soon influence several other countries in the watershed as well.Today，about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living.Within the next 25 years，the district’s population is expected to double，adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture.The frequent drought adds to the urgency. Water quality is also a problem.Precious soil is washed out to sea.Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution.Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils.Water­borne diseases continue unchecked.In areas where it’s hot and damp，water hyacinths choke off lakes，dams and other sections of the river，making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward. Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day.They’ve seen the river change course，and their only source of water thickened with mud.They’re very poor and have few choices. But a new program，the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI)，is offering very practical assistance.The program is more than just a water­management project.It’s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district：It concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them. These are whole ecosystem problems，calling for united solutions.Half the Nile Basin’s countries are among the world’s poorest nations；yet，somehow，they must find the resources，skills and political will to overcome these challenges. 44．What are the great challenges the Nile Basin faces? A．The development of shipping industry. B．Overfishing of native people. C．Water shortage and water quality. D．Increasing population and tourism. 45．The underlined word “hyacinths” (in Paragraph 3) refers to “________”． A．animals                                      B．plants C．rocks                                        D．salts 46．The program NBI is mainly aimed at________. A．preventing water pollution B．changing the river course C．improving living conditions of the poor D．preventing land from becoming desert 47．What would be the best title for this passage? A．People’s Life in Egypt and Sudan B．Frequent Drought in Egypt and Sudan C．The Poorest Countries in the Nile Basin D．The Ecosystem Problems in the Nile Basin D Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most loved children’s books of all time，and many adults enjoy it as well.It tells the story of a young girl named Alice，who follows a rabbit entering a magical world called Wonderland.She has many experiences which seem to change the rules of reasoning or common sense.The popularity of the book comes from its imagination，interesting story，and art work. The writer of the book is Lewis Carroll.In fact，Lewis Carroll was not the writer’s real name.His real name was Charles Dodgson.One day，he took a boat ride down the Thames River to have a picnic with three little girls who were friends of the family.To keep them entertained on the ride，he told them a story in which Alice，the middle child，was the main character.They enjoyed the story very much. Charles later wrote the story down under the name Alice’s Adventures Under Ground and gave it to Alice as a Christmas present.Later，he gave a copy to his friend George MacDonald.George read it to his children and they loved it.George suggested to Charles that he make a book from his story.Charles then wrote more parts to the story until it was around 35,000 words.It was first printed in 1866，with art work by John Tenniel，under the name Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.The book was an immediate success. One of its first fans was Queen Victoria.She immediately requested a collection of all of Lewis Carroll’s works.She was surprised to find that they included many works on math.In fact，Charles Dodgson was a highly respected mathematician.This can be seen in many puzzles and plays on reasoning that appear in his books and poems. Since the story was first printed，it has kept selling up to the present day.It has been translated into over fifty languages and has had several movies based on it.The story is even mentioned in the popular 1999 film The Matrix by the character Morpheus. 48．The passage is mainly about________. A．Charles’ family life B．a girl’s adventurous experiences C．a magical world called Wonderland D．the birth of a book and its lasting influences 49．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．The writer published his works under his real name. B．The character Alice originated from George’s child. C．John contributed partly to the popularity of the book. D．Charles offered a copy to George for advice. 50．We can learn from the passage that________. A．Queen Victoria asked for a few of Charles’ writings B．Charles had a gift for reasoning and writing C．Charles had all his works translated into fifty languages D．The Matrix was based on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Ⅳ.阅读填空 You must practice your language skills，or there is no point learning.__51__ It is by constantly repeating words and phrases until they all start to make sense.The same is needed by people who are trying to learn a foreign language.There are many different things to do for each of the four parts of language learning. __52__ If you are learning French，then next time you go to France，buy a lot of newspapers and books.Read them—it is as simple as that.If you read with a dictionary next to you，you should be able to look up words when you don’t know them and at least follow what is being said.

Best to you all. Yours， Liu Mei 参考范文 Psychological Problems of Students The_bar_chart_shows_what_we_have_found_out_about_psychological_problems_of_students.We can see from the chart that more and more students have psychological problems as they become older.For example，only about 10% of children aged 5 to 6 may have psychological problems，while the figure has shot up to about 60% when they reach the ages of 17 to 19. In my opinion，many reasons may contribute to the sharp increase.As the children grow older，more and more pressure is put in their studies.If they don’t have enough instructions from their teachers or parents，the pressure may add up to psychological problems. To solve this problem，teachers and parents should pay enough attention to it.Besides，the students themselves should seek proper ways to let out their pressure before it becomes too serious.
