V. Cloze test:

I never knew how well Mother could keep a trust until I was going through her things after she died. I discovered something I had 16 forgotten, something that happened to me as a child.

One day, as I went to sleep after my sisters and I had said our prayers, I recalled the events of the day and how 17 I had behaved toward Mother. “I must make things right now,” I thought.

Quietly I 18 out of bed and picked up the pencil and paper from the dresser, and then tiptoed into the hall. The 19 from the living room shone dimly. I knew Mother was downstairs still doing some sewing. I quickly 20 a note asking Mother to excuse me for being so 21 . I didn’t want my sisters to know my 22 so I added a postscript, “Please don’t let anyone else see this.” Then I 23 moved into my parents’ bedroom and put the letter under Mother’s pillow.

The next morning when I 24 my bed after breakfast, I 25 found a return note under my pillow. Mother wrote that she loved me and 26 me.

This became my way of apologizing whenever I talked 27 or disobeyed. Mother always left a return note, but she never 28 our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family. Even when we were 29 and when we sisters 30 our childhood, she never mentioned them.

When Mother passed away, I had to go through her personal belongings. In her desk was a bundle of notes tied with a faded ribbon. On top was a message in handwriting which read, “In the event of my death, please 31 these.” I 32 the package and glanced at the handwriting on the bottom. To my 33 , I recognized my childish writing, “PS. Please don’t let anyone else see this. Love, Edie.” I gently placed the unopened bundle in the 34 along with other things for the rubbish burner. “Lord,” I prayed, “make me like 35 .” 16. A. long B. hardly C. never D. often 17.

35. A. a bird B. an angel C. Mother D. God VI. Reading:

A simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors.

On one side stand those who see clothes dryers(干衣机) as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the environment. as a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the “what-i –can do environmentalism(环境保护主义).”

on the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. they have persuaded homeowners associations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. this had led to a right-to-dry movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect people’s right to use clotheslines.

so far, only three states have laws to protect clothesline. right-to-dry supporters argue that there should be moved.

Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious(有生态意识的) person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. his family also uses a clothesline. but on July 9, 2007, the HOA in wake forest, north Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighbour had telephoned them about him clothesline. the Recks paid no attention to the warning and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard. “many people say they are environmentally friendly but they don’t take matters in their own hands,” says Reck. the local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them.

north Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. but HOAS and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. they worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford dryers, housing prices will fall.

Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to change. as they say, “the clothesline is beautiful”. hanging clothes outside should be encouraged. we all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming.” 36. One of the reasons why supporters of clothes dryers are trying to ham clothesline drying is that ____.

A. clothes dryers are more efficient B. clothesline drying reduces home value C. clothes dryers are energy-saving

D. clothesline drying is not allowed in most US. states 37. Which of the following best describes matt Reck? A. he is a kind-hearted man. B. he is an impolite man. C. he is and experienced gardener. D. he is a man of social responsibility. 38. Who are in favor of clothesline drying? A. housing businesses. B. environmentalists. C. homeowners associations. D. Reck’s dissatisfied neighbors. 39. What is mainly discussed in the text?

A. Clothesline drying: a way to save energy and money. B. Clothesline drying: a lost art rediscovered. C. Opposite opinions on clothesline drying.

D. Different varieties of clotheslines.

第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填一个词。

Many Americans concerned about air pollution are demanding cleaner and cheaper supplies of energy. The demand has resulted in increased research about ethanol fuel. Ethanol is an alcohol that can be mixed with gas. It burns up most of the pollutants in gas. It takes the place of some of the chemicals that are known to cause cancer.

Some experts say that in the future ethanol will replace some of the oil imported into America. Today ethanol is less than one percent of the total American fuel supply. The head of the National Corn Growers Association, Kieve Hars, says ethanol will provide twenty five percent of the fuel supply by 2010. The organization is involved in the production of ethanol because it can be made from corn.

One company in American Midwest says it is starting to produce ethanol because of demands from people and from the government. The Congress approved the Clean Air Act in 1990. The company says this means the market for ethanol will expand. The company is a major producer of corn starch (淀粉) that can be used to make ethanol.

At Texas University, Professor Mark Holzapple produces ethanol from materials found in solid waste. He has developed a way to turn materials like paper into simple sugar. He then uses yeast (酵母) to turn the sugar into ethanol. Professor Holzappple says two hundred liters of ethanol fuel can be produced from one ton of solid waste.

A professor at the University of Arkansas, John Geddie, is exploring another way to make ethanol. He is using acids on paper material. He says a large factory could produce ethanol from waste paper about the same cost of that of gasoline.

Environmentalists support the use of ethanol because it turns waste into a useful product. Professor Holzapple says law makers in industrial nations need to support the development of this renewable fuel of the future.

Dear editor,

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks.

Sixty percent of my schoolmates are for the idea that an entrance fee should not be forced on the public. They believe parks are the place where the public enjoy themselves at their leisure. They think that a gate and wails are to be built if an entrance fee is to be charged. The city will not look so beautiful as it should have.

Forty percent of my schoolmates are for the idea that an entrance fee is OK, but it shouldn’t be out of control. Entrance fee can be used to pay the gardeners and buy new types of flowers and trees. For myself, I’d like to say that if we all work hard to build our city into a flower garden, who cares about the entrance fee for parks?
