阅读下面材料，从每题所给的 A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项
A
London has a magazine. But you can receive it on TV because it is not printed(印刷) on paper.
2
If you want to read this magazine, you have to get a decoder(解码器). Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose what you want to read about. You can choose everything you want, from cooking to the latest news.
If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index（索引）page which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100. Then you choose what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109, so you push out the numbers and you can watch the news written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and you can see a brightly colored weather map on the screen. But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But the best thing about the service is that it is being updated(更新) all the time. The whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.
London already had three services. One, transmitted(传输) by TV, is called ORACLE while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts. Though CEEFAX and ORACLE have been in use for some time, they have not been publicized. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people would agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life. 26. In the second paragraph the underlined word ―it‖ means the_____. A. decoder B. magazine C. number D. news 27. What do you have to do first if you want to read the news?
A. You should turn to page 100. B. You should press the number 109.
C. You have to turn to page 101. D. You have to push out the number 101 and 109. 28. The best thing about the service is_____.
A. you can read the news B. this magazine is changing all the time C. you can read many magazines D. this magazine is very simple to use 29. We can know from the passage that_____. A. the magazine can be got at any bookshop
B. most of the postmen in London will lose their jobs some day C. the readers can get all kinds of information staying at home D. everyone can read the magazine if you have a TV set
B
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 (废渣填埋场), 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 related expenses(费用). 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
3
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. 30. What would be the best title for the text? A. Measures of Reducing Dangerous Waste. B. Danger of Harmful Waste to Mankind. C. Dangerous Waste and Water Pollution. D. Environmental Protection.
31. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The polluting industries are not allowed to sell their products. B. Present technologies have settled the harmful waste problem. C. Everyone should obey the government rules for the problem. D. To solve the problem requires the efforts of the whole society.

For some kids, old photos and baby pictures are embarrassing. For others, they are cherished keepsakes (纪念品). But for thousands of children living in orphanages (孤儿院) worldwide, these records of the past simply don't exist. Either the kids' parents weren't around to snap photos, or the pictures have been lost. Whatever the reason is, the Memory Project is giving orphans a lasting document of their youth.
Over the last two years, the Memory Project has provided hand-painted portraits (肖像)for more than 4,000 children living in orphanages in poor countries. Ben Schumaker, 24, got the idea when he was visiting an orphanage in Guatemala in Central America. But he's not creating the portraits alone. Students in hundreds of high school art classes across the U.S. paint them using photos sent from the orphanages.
Schumaker believes that the artists benefit from the project as much as the orphans do. ―There are two purposes of the Memory Project,‖ he said. ―One is to offer a special gift to the child abroad. The other is to help open the eyes of the student who is painting.‖ Staring into the eyes of another person, Schumaker believes, it creates a real connection. This connection raises awareness in U.S. schools about the needs of the world's poor children. ―It's about planting a seed,‖ he said.
Schumaker is also working on Books of Hope, a project in which students of all ages put together homemade books for children in Uganda and India.He hopes that one day children in

Uganda and India will send books to the U.S. ―It's important to me to have it be a two-way exchange,‖ Schmnaker says.
32.Old photos and baby pictures are clearly unavailable to _ _ . A. the kids in rich families B. the kids in common families C. the kids in expanded families D. the kids without parents
33.How can the orphans in Guatemala get a continuing record of their youth? A. By hand-painted portraits that Ben Schumaker painted. B. By the photos the orphanage taken for them.
C. By the photos taken by the U.S. students in high schools. D. By the Memory Project started by Ben Schumaker. 34. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The special gifts that the world's poor children received. B. The benefits that the Memory Project brings. C. The need of the US schools. D. How to help the orphans.
35. According to the passage, Schumaker helps the kids in . A. two countries B. three countries C. four countries D. five countries

Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences.

Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.‖
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence. I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).
