My 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow ” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great,” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. I knew we would be best friends forever.
In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. That was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon,” she told me. But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. I got depressed for a long time. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Loggia,” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she flashed me a big smile, “My name is Laura.”
My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughter’s friend looked familiar. She was Lillian’s niece.
25. Which of the following can replace the underlined words in Paragraph 2
A. Invited me to go shopping.
B. Drew pictures with me outside.
C. Helped me out of a locked room.
D. Made me more outgoing than before.
26. What can we know about the author
A. She always missed Lillian.
B. She met Laura in Washington Heights.
C. She preferred Laura to her own daughter.
D. She moved to New Jersey because of Lillian’s death.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Terrible Trip
B. A Shy Daughter
C. A Best Friend
D. A Familiar Niece
【答案】25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一天作者害羞的女儿Donna提出要带朋友回家，作者想起了自己的好朋友Lillian，她让害羞的作者变得开朗，却意外逝世，作者一直非常思念她。第二天Donna的朋友Laura来到家里，作者发现她和Lillian很像，结果发现Laura竟然是Lillian的侄女。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Like my daughter, I was shy (和我女儿一样，我也很害羞)”和“but”可知，作者也很害羞，Lillian的出现让事情发生了转折，再结合画线词的下文“She was one of the friendliest people in school (她是学校里最友好的人之一)”可推知，友好的Lillian应该是让作者变得更加外向一些。因此drew me out意思应该是“让我变得比之前外向”，与made me more outgoing than before意思接近。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““Sure, honey, that sounds great,” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. (“当然，亲爱的，听起来很棒，”我说，想起了我最好的朋友Lillian)”和第三段中的“Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes. (每当我想到她，泪水就涌上我的眼睛)”可知，作者时常会想起好朋友Lillian，一直在思念她。故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“I knew we would be best friends forever. (我就知道我们会永远是最好的朋友)”可知，文章主要围绕作者的好友Lillian展开，讲述了一天作者的女儿Donna提出要带朋友回家，作者想起了自己一直思念的已故好友Lillian。第二天Donna的朋友Laura来到家里，作者发现她和Lillian很像，结果发现Laura竟然是Lillian的侄女。由此可知，C项“一个最好的朋友”契合文章大意，贴合文章的线索，最适合作为标题。故选C项。
C
“Roses are red. Violets are blue.” As an English poem tells us, most things we see in the world have a certain color. However, if a red rose shrinks (缩小) to the world of nanometers (纳米), chances are you might see it in orange, yellow, or blue, depending on its size. This incredible phenomenon is due to the quantum effect (量子效应).
An element’s properties (性质) are largely determined by how many electrons it has, noted the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. However, when matter shrinks to nanometers, its properties are determined by its size. Based on this effect, Alexei Ekimov from Russia and Louis Brus and Moungi Bawendi from the US received the Nobel Prize in chemistry this year for the discovery and development of quantum dots (量子点), semiconducting nanoparticles (半导体纳米粒子) that are usually 2 to 10 nanometers in size.
“Quantum dots have many fascinating and unusual properties. Importantly, they have different colors depending on their size,” said Johan Aqvist, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry.
Quanturn dots absorb light and then release it at another wavelength (波长). The smaller the dot is, the shorter the wavelength is, resulting in a bluer light. Likewise, the larger it is, the redder the light will be.
The research by the three scientists opened up a whole new world for chemistry. The light from quantum dots is pure and bright, providing more convenience and enjoyment in many aspects of our lives.
In hospitals, quantum dots are applied to bioimaging (生物成像) and traceable (可追踪的) drug delivery. They can guide doctors when they remove tumors (肿瘤). The dots are much brighter than traditional organic dyes (染料). In our homes, we enjoy pure and dynamic light from TV and computer displays using QLED technology (Q stands for quantum dots). In labs, chemists make use of light from quantum dots to catalyze (催化) chemical reactions.
Looking ahead, scientists believe that quantum dots could help in the making of tiny sensors and thinner solar cells. , as well as in encrypted (加密的) quantum communication. Quantum dots have been benefiting humankind in many ways. However, our exploration of them is still at an early stage.
28. What determines the color of quantum dots
A. Their sizes. B. The wavelength they emit.
C. The material they are made of. D. The amount of light they absorb.
29. In what aspects are quantum dots being used in hospitals
a. Biological imaging b. Write a prescription (开处方)
c. Tumor removal d. Dye usage e. Drug delivery
A. a, b, c B. b, c, e C. a, c, e D. a, d, e
30. What’s the main idea of this article
A. Explored the potential application fields of future quantum dots.
B. The importance of quantum effect in determining an element’s properties.
C. Introduction to three scientists who have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
D. The discovery and development of quantum dots and their applications in different fields.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了量子点的发现、发展及其在不同领域的应用。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, if a red rose shrinks (缩小) to the world of nanometers (纳米), chances are you might see it in orange, yellow, or blue, depending on its size. (然而，如果一朵红玫瑰缩小到纳米级别，你可能会看到橙色、黄色或蓝色，这取决于它的大小。)”可知，量子点的大小决定了量子点的颜色，故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In hospitals, quantum dots are applied to bioimaging (生物成像) and traceable (可追踪的) drug delivery. They can guide doctors when they remove tumors (肿瘤). The dots are much brighter than traditional organic dyes (染料). ( 在医院，量子点应用于生物成像和可追踪的药物输送。他们可以指导医生切除肿瘤。这些点比传统的有机染料要亮得多。)”可知，在医院量子点应用于生物成像和可追踪的药物输送，以及指导医生切除肿瘤，a.Biological imaging(生物影像学)，c.Tumor removal(切除肿瘤)和 e. Drug delivery(药物输送)符合，故选C。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“This incredible phenomenon is due to the quantum effect (量子效应).(这种不可思议的现象是由量子效应引起的。)”，第五段“The research by the three scientists opened up a whole new world for chemistry. The light from quantum dots is pure and bright, providing more convenience and enjoyment in many aspects of our lives.(这三位科学家的研究为化学开辟了一个全新的世界。量子点发出的光既纯净又明亮，为我们生活的方方面面提供了更多的便利和享受。)”和第六段“In hospitals, quantum dots are applied to bioimaging (生物成像) and traceable (可追踪的) drug delivery. They can guide doctors when they remove tumors (肿瘤). The dots are much brighter than traditional organic dyes (染料). In our homes, we enjoy pure and dynamic light from TV and computer displays using QLED technology (Q stands for quantum dots). In labs, chemists make use of light from quantum dots to catalyze (催化) chemical reactions.(在医院，量子点应用于生物成像和可追踪药物输送。他们可以指导医生切除肿瘤。这些点比传统的有机染料要亮得多。在我们的家里，我们使用 QLED 技术(Q 代表量子点)来享受电视和电脑显示器发出的纯净而动态的光。在实验室里，化学家利用量子点发出的光来催化化学反应。)”可知，文章主要介绍了量子点的发现、发展及其在不同领域的应用。故选D。

Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.
However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes more efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit last. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.
With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handicrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.
Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.
It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.
31. The underlined word “gadgets” s closet in meaning to ______.
A. tools B. messages C. barriers D. skills
32. The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by ______.
A. describing a process B. using examples
C. following time order D. making classification
33. What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4
A. It can destroy old traditions.
B It can lead to social progress.
C. It can be used to correct mistakes.
D. It can be used to preserve old products.
34. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.
B. People review the past with great regret.
C. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.
D. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.
【答案】31. A 32. B 33. D 34. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。众所周知，发展可以为人类和社会带来各种便利，但新技术的使用对社会产生何种影响取决于人们的态度。所以作者呼吁，先进性与传统性要协调同步发展。
【31题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and ipads.(由于手机和ipad等通讯设备的存在。)”可知，后文根据所划线部分词举了例子，即“手机、平板电脑等”，而结合常识，手机和平板电脑用于沟通、交流，为电子设备、沟通工具。A项“工具”符合文意。故选A项。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”(然而，在许多人的内心深处，尤其是那些怀念“好时光”的人，效率是有代价的。)”提出观点。接着作者以人们手机，平板电脑等的使用为例加以说明，即“With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.(由于手机和ipad等通讯设备的存在，人们通常不会刻意去拜访彼此。)”，同时也举例说明了私人拜访的特点，“A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit last.(私人拜访还有一个额外的特点，那就是必须在来访者来访的最后一段时间里一直待在他的身边。)”。由此可以推出，作者是以举例子的方式说明自己的观点的。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state.(只有随着进步和新技术的发明，许多旧产品才能恢复到原来的状态。旧产品要想保持旧，就需要新技术。)”可知，新技术可以用来保持旧产品。故选D项。
【34题详解】

Recycling is good for our planet but it can be confusing. Can I recycle plastic bags What about pizza cartons Toothpaste tubes Which bin should I use There are so many questions, and more than half of Americans are unsure about how to recycle. ____35____ Here’s a handy four-step guide on how to recycle effectively:
Know what to put in the recycling bin. Keep it simple and focus on the most commonly recycled items, such as paper, glass, aluminum and plastic. ____36____ Don’t use the recycled symbol as a guide. “The number on the container is really for people to identify the type of resin (树脂). That’s not helpful for the common consumer,” said Cody Marshall, a strategist at nonprofit Recycling Partnership.
____37____ It is really important to know what you cannot put in your bin. You can always check with your city or at BeRecycled.org. If you live in the US, just plug in your postcode to search. Recycling companies struggle with the same problem items: hoses (软管), cords, needles and clothing, according to Marshall, so don’t put those items in your bin.
Wash or clean items. Do a quick clean to make sure there is no food left in containers before you put them in the bin. ____38____ Save food for composting (堆肥) in your garden.
Don’t bag it. Unless you live in a place that requires it, like New York City, keep the recyclables lost in the bin. “A lot of the time, it’s not safe for our employees to tear those bags open, or it takes too much time,” said Keller. “____39____”
A. Know what is not recyclable.
B. The answers are not hard to find.
C. A lot of bagged stuff goes right to the landfill.
D. Plastic bags can be used again or returned to grocery stores.
E. If you really don’t know if an item is recyclable, then just throw it in the garbage.
F. This is really important if you only use one bin because food items could ruin paper.
G. Hard plastics like water and soft drink bottles or anything like these can be recycled.
【答案】35. B 36. G 37. A 38. F 39. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有效回收的4个步骤：知道要把什么放进回收箱；知道什么是不可回收的；扔垃圾之前清理出食物残留；不要把垃圾装袋。
【35题详解】
前文“There are so many questions, and more than half of Americans are unsure about how to recycle.(有这么多的问题，超过一半的美国人不确定如何回收)”提及了回收时有太多问题令人困扰，后文“Here’s a handy four-step guide on how to recycle effectively(以下是有效回收垃圾的四步指南)”则说到有效回收的4个步骤。由此推知，设空句作为中间过渡句，应是与前文在句意逻辑上构成转折，且引出后文内容。B项“The answers are not hard to find.(答案不难找到)”的“The answers”对应前文“questions”，句意上与前文构成转折，且可引出后文内容，用在文中可承前启后，符合语境。故选B项。
【36题详解】
根据主题句“Know what to put in the recycling bin.(知道该把什么放在回收箱里)”可知，该段主要讲述可回收物品，G项“Hard plastics like water and soft drink bottles or anything like these can be recycled.(硬塑料，如水瓶和软饮料瓶或类似的任何东西，都可以回收)”介绍的是可回收的物品，贴合该段主题，符合语境。故选G项。
【37题详解】
设空句为该段主题句。根据后文“It is really important to know what you cannot put in your bin.(知道哪些东西不能放进垃圾桶是很重要的)”可知，本段介绍的是不可回收的物品。选项A“Know what is not recyclable.(知道什么是不可回收的)”可作该段主题句。故选A项。
【38题详解】
前文“Do a quick clean to make sure there is no food left in containers before you put them in the bin.(在你把容器放进垃圾桶之前，快速清理一下，确保容器里没有食物残留)”提及要将食物残留清理出来，那么，设空句应解释这样做的原因。选项F“This is really important if you only use one bin because food items could ruin paper.(如果你只用一个垃圾桶，这一点非常重要，因为食物会破坏纸张)”解释了原因，符合语境。故选F项。
【39题详解】
前文“A lot of the time, it’s not safe for our employees to tear those bags open, or it takes too much time(很多时候，我们的员工撕开这些袋子是不安全的，或者需要花费太多时间)”提及袋装垃圾有危害性或浪费时间。由此推知，设空句应讲述为了安全或不浪费时间，袋装垃圾的去处。选项C“A lot of bagged stuff goes right to the landfill.(很多袋装的东西直接被扔进了垃圾填埋场)”讲到了袋装垃圾不会经过人工处理，直接被扔进了填埋场，符合语境。故选C项。
第四部分 书面表达（共三节，42分）
第一节（共4小题；第60、61题各2分，第62题3分，第63题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
In college, Spring Break (春假) is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program. It places college students communities both at home and abroad.
The Program allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy (识字), homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research.
The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the opportunity to learn about members of communities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate (融合) their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the Program aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society.
In the spring of 2006, about 36,000 students in the USA participated in the Alternative Break Program.
Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Program has been on five alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and Dominican Republic. “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Program. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences.”
The Program began in 1991. Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States.
40. Who may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program
________________________________________________
41. What is Samantha’s attitude towards the Program
________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.

________________________________________________
【答案】40. Students who wish to do something productive and rewarding.
41. She thinks highly of the Program.
42. The purpose of the Program is to encourage students to be active citizens and make a difference to the Program.
The Program aims to encourage students to engage themselves in making a difference in society.
43 I am interested in collecting data for environmental research because the environment should be protected. The matter of environmental protection is of great urgency because of the danger that the environment is in right now.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Alternative Break Program这个项目对大学生在不同方面的历练和它受欢迎的程度。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program.(然而，那些希望利用休息时间做一些有成效和有益的事情的学生，可以选择参加“替代休息计划”)”可知，希望做一些有成效和有回报的事情的学生。会参加Alternative Break Program。故答案为Students who wish to do something productive and rewarding.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Program has been on five alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and Dominican Republic. “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Program. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences.”(Samantha Giacobozzi现在是这个项目的负责人，她自己已经参加了五次替代性的假期旅行，包括去新奥尔良、印度和多米尼加共和国的旅行。她说:“我是一名学生，我的课余旅行完全改变了我的生活。”“每年，我们都会遇到很多参加过这个项目的学生。你可以看到他们生活中的变化与他们的另类休息经历有关。”)”可知，Samantha高度评价了这个项目。故答案为She thinks highly of the Program.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“In a word, the Program aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society.(总而言之，该项目旨在鼓励学生成为积极的公民，参与到改变社会的活动中来)”可知，错误的部分为“make a difference to the Program”，项目旨在鼓励学生成为积极的公民，参与到改变社会的活动中来。故答案为The purpose of the Program is to encourage students to be active citizens and make a difference to the Program.The Program aims to encourage students to engage themselves in making a difference in society.
【43题详解】
考查开放题。根据“如果你参加这个项目，你会对哪个项目感兴趣？解释为什么。”可回答：我对收集环境研究数据很感兴趣，因为环境应该受到保护。环境保护问题是非常紧迫的，因为环境处于危险之中。故答案为I am interested in collecting data for environmental research because the environment should be protected. The matter of environmental protection is of great urgency because of the danger that the environment is in right now.

The Cowrie Hotel is built right on the beachfront, and many rooms have wonderful ocean views. If swimming and surfing are not enough for you, the hotel also offers horse rides on the island, and a discount membership of the golf club.
The Rain Forest Adventure Holiday
Every year Broughton holidays offer twelve days of unforgettable adventure in a tropical rain forest. You may have a choice of Borneo, Malaysia, Indonesia, or even to the greatest rain forest of them all, the mighty Amazonian forest.
You will fly to our special base camps at the edge of the forest, where you will be given five days of survival training, and talks on the local wildlife.
Then you take a bus into the forest. You will have to walk the final five miles to the camp sites to avoid disturbing the local ecology. All of the camp sites have been carefully built to cause the minimal amount of disturbance to the local wildlife.
Remember that these adventure holidays take you deep into the wilderness, and they are not suitable for families with young children. Also remember that no more than two dozen guests can stay at any camp at one time, so if you want to go on one of these very special holidays, you will need to book early!

My 10-year-old Donna said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow ” Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell.
“Sure, honey, that sounds great,” I said, thinking back to my own best friend, Lillian. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. I knew we would be best friends forever.
In senior high school, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. That was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon,” she told me. But three days later, Lillian’s sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn’t come out any more. I got depressed for a long time. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey. Whenever I thought of her, tears came into my eyes.
The next day Donna brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Loggia,” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she flashed me a big smile, “My name is Laura.”
My daughter’s new friend was so much like Lillian. I was still puzzled when Laura’s mom came to pick her up later that afternoon. I opened the door to let her in. “Judy!” she cried. “It’s me, Lillian’s sister, from Washington Heights.” Yes, my daughter’s friend looked familiar. She was Lillian’s niece.

“Roses are red. Violets are blue.” As an English poem tells us, most things we see in the world have a certain color. However, if a red rose shrinks (缩小) to the world of nanometers (纳米), chances are you might see it in orange, yellow, or blue, depending on its size. This incredible phenomenon is due to the quantum effect (量子效应).
An element’s properties (性质) are largely determined by how many electrons it has, noted the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. However, when matter shrinks to nanometers, its properties are determined by its size. Based on this effect, Alexei Ekimov from Russia and Louis Brus and Moungi Bawendi from the US received the Nobel Prize in chemistry this year for the discovery and development of quantum dots (量子点), semiconducting nanoparticles (半导体纳米粒子) that are usually 2 to 10 nanometers in size.
“Quantum dots have many fascinating and unusual properties. Importantly, they have different colors depending on their size,” said Johan Aqvist, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry.
Quanturn dots absorb light and then release it at another wavelength (波长). The smaller the dot is, the shorter the wavelength is, resulting in a bluer light. Likewise, the larger it is, the redder the light will be.
The research by the three scientists opened up a whole new world for chemistry. The light from quantum dots is pure and bright, providing more convenience and enjoyment in many aspects of our lives.
In hospitals, quantum dots are applied to bioimaging (生物成像) and traceable (可追踪的) drug delivery. They can guide doctors when they remove tumors (肿瘤). The dots are much brighter than traditional organic dyes (染料). In our homes, we enjoy pure and dynamic light from TV and computer displays using QLED technology (Q stands for quantum dots). In labs, chemists make use of light from quantum dots to catalyze (催化) chemical reactions.
Looking ahead, scientists believe that quantum dots could help in the making of tiny sensors and thinner solar cells. , as well as in encrypted (加密的) quantum communication. Quantum dots have been benefiting humankind in many ways. However, our exploration of them is still at an early stage.
28. What determines the color of quantum dots
A. Their sizes. B. The wavelength they emit.
C. The material they are made of. D. The amount of light they absorb.
29. In what aspects are quantum dots being used in hospitals
a. Biological imaging b. Write a prescription (开处方)
c. Tumor removal d. Dye usage e. Drug delivery
A. a, b, c B. b, c, e C. a, c, e D. a, d, e
30. What’s the main idea of this article
A. Explored the potential application fields of future quantum dots.
B. The importance of quantum effect in determining an element’s properties.
C. Introduction to three scientists who have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
D. The discovery and development of quantum dots and their applications in different fields.
D
Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person’s ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.
However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes more efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit last. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.
With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handicrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.
Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.
It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.
31. The underlined word “gadgets” s closet in meaning to ______.
A. tools B. messages C. barriers D. skills
32. The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by ______.
A. describing a process B. using examples
C. following time order D. making classification
33. What can be learned about technology from Paragraph 4
A. It can destroy old traditions.
B. It can lead to social progress.
C. It can be used to correct mistakes.
D. It can be used to preserve old products.
34. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. Progress can suit the needs of daily life.
B. People review the past with great regret.
C. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.
D. Technology should be introduced in a fixed way.

Recycling is good for our planet, but it can be confusing. Can I recycle plastic bags What about pizza cartons Toothpaste tubes Which bin should I use There are so many questions, and more than half of Americans are unsure about how to recycle. ____35____ Here’s a handy four-step guide on how to recycle effectively:
Know what to put in the recycling bin. Keep it simple and focus on the most commonly recycled items, such as paper, glass, aluminum and plastic. ____36____ Don’t use the recycled symbol as a guide. “The number on the container is really for people to identify the type of resin (树脂). That’s not helpful for the common consumer,” said Cody Marshall, a strategist at nonprofit Recycling Partnership.
____37____ It is really important to know what you cannot put in your bin. You can always check with your city or at BeRecycled.org. If you live in the US, just plug in your postcode to search. Recycling companies struggle with the same problem items: hoses (软管), cords, needles and clothing, according to Marshall, so don’t put those items in your bin.
Wash or clean items. Do a quick clean to make sure there is no food left in containers before you put them in the bin. ____38____ Save food for composting (堆肥) in your garden.
Don’t bag it. Unless you live in a place that requires it, like New York City, keep the recyclables lost in the bin. “A lot of the time, it’s not safe for our employees to tear those bags open, or it takes too much time,” said Keller. “____39____”
A. Know what is not recyclable.
B. The answers are not hard to find.
C. A lot of bagged stuff goes right to the landfill.
D. Plastic bags can be used again or returned to grocery stores.
E. If you really don’t know if an item is recyclable, then just throw it in the garbage.
F. This is really important if you only use one bin because food items could ruin paper.
G. Hard plastics like water and soft drink bottles or anything like these can be recycled.

In college, Spring Break (春假) is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friends. Students who wish to spend their break doing something productive and rewarding, however, may choose to participate in the Alternative Break Program. It places college students communities both at home and abroad.
The Program allows students to take part in various projects dealing with issues such as literacy (识字), homelessness and the environment. It includes helping kids with their lessons, raising money for families in need and collecting data for environmental research.
The hope is that, by getting themselves involved in different environments, students will have the opportunity to learn about members of communities and broaden their view. In turn, they will incorporate (融合) their experiences and lessons learned into their own communities. In a word, the Program aims to encourage students to be active citizens and engage themselves in making a difference in society.
In the spring of 2006, about 36,000 students in the USA participated in the Alternative Break Program.
Samantha Giacobozzi, now director of the Program has been on five alternative break trips herself, including trips to New Orleans, India and Dominican Republic. “I was a student who went on alternative break trips and had my life totally transformed by that experience,” she said. “Every year, we meet many students who have attended the Program. You can see changes in their life that are connected with their alternative break experiences.”
The Program began in 1991. Today, it has become increasingly popular with college students in the United States.
