British Columbia has very beautiful scenery. Because of its different kinds of geographical conditions this province provides all kinds of activities and adventures. There are mountains to climb, rivers to swim in, beaches to play on, forests to hike in, parks to walk in and warm summer lakes to kill your time in. Campuses:ULI Campus Richmond ULI Campus Vancouver Courses:Computerized Accounting Continuing EducationGlobal Trade & Marketing Health Care Services Hospitality & TourismIT & Software DevelopmentOffice AdministrationULI has been serving British Columbia since it was created in 1996.ULI was started with the aim of providing individualized learning opportunities for people looking for a job or wanting to improve their skills.

To provide shade and improve water quality.According to experts , the ball cover will keep the water from being polluted by wildlife and dust and also help reduce sunlight-caused chemical reaction. The latter is of particular importance for Los Angeles. That’s because the lake contains a large quantity of a naturally occurring chemical called bromide(溴化物).While safe on its own, it reacts with chlorine (氧气) and the sun’s ultraviolet rays(紫外线)to form bromide, which is believed to be dangerous to humans.The half-pound shade balls that are filled with eight ounces of water to keep them in place, help block the UV rays and also prevent algae(藻类) build-up in the water. This means that they not only stop the chemical reaction from occurring, but also reduce the need to treat the water with chlorine. According to scientists, in addition to the health benefits, this will also save the city almost $28. 000 each month. The shade balls will prevent the loss of about 300 million gallons of water through evaporation （蒸发） annually.         At a total cost of $34.5 million， the cover was not cheap. But according to officials， it was a bargain compared to the alternative-a $300 million floating cover. Additionally, this low-tech solution that will protect the water for a decade requires no maintenance.24. Why did Los Angeles put “shade balls" into the lake? A. To protect the wildlife in the lake.              B. To make more output from the lake. C. To improve water quality of the lake.         D. To kill bacteria in the water of the lake.25. What can be learned about the shade  balls? A.They are empty.                                            B. They are made of plastic.C. They roll in the water constantly.                D.They sink into the water immediately26. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Benefits of the shade balls.                          B. Numbers of the shade balls.C. Costs of the whole project.                          D. Dollars the shade balls will save.27. What can we know from the text?A. Scientists applied high technology in the project. B. The project will benefit Los Angeles forever.C.The shade balls can help algae grow in water.D. A floating cover costs more than the“shade balls” cover. CIt has always been assumed that traffic noise is a problem unique to animals.But a new study by Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, has revealed that plants suffer too.Scientists have previously suspected that plants may be able to sense sound waves as they are struck by them. A number of experiments have confirmed this in recent years-plants continuously affected by ultrasound(超声波)in the lab have shown a range of negative responses including the expression of stress-related genes, abnormal growth and reduced sprouting(发芽)of seeds.Yet blasting(轰击)plants with ultrasound is not the same as growing them in the presence of actual traffic noise. To this end, Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi decided to set up an experiment to study precisely this question.Working with a team of colleagues, Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi grew two species in his lab.The plants were grown from seed and allowed to mature for two months in the same space before they were divided into two groups. One group was exposed to 73 decibels(分贝)of traffic noise for 16 hours a day.The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied.None of the plants exposed to the traffic noise did well. Analysis of their leaves revealed that all of them were suffering. The chemical compounds indicating stress in plants were found at much higher levels in the samples exposed to the traffic noise. The team also found that a range of hormones normally associated with healthy growth and development in plants were present at significantly reduced levels in the plants exposed to the noise.His findings make it clear that, though plants lack ears, the impact generated by the noise of traffic still bothers them enough to trigger strong stress responses.The next question is whether all noise pollution affects all species in the same way.28. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The process of the experiment.               B. The result of the experiment. C. The variety of the plants.                        D.The level of the traffic noise 29. What can we know about the plants exposed to traffic noise?A. They had no sprouting seeds.                  B. They had high-level hormones. C.They had rare expanded leaves.                D. They had more stress-related compounds 30.What will the next step of the study probably focus on?A.Reducing noise pollution.                         B.Experimenting with other plants. C. Publishing the findings                             D. Questioning the previous assumptions31. What does the underlined “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Plants can sense sound waves.                    B. Traffic noise affects animals.C. Plants produce stress-related genes.            D. Seeds can’t grow well in the lab. DIn North Carolina,it is a felony to steal pine needles.A felony is a serious crime. That might sound insane. But the needles are worth a lot of money. Some people who live there call them“brown gold".Long leaf pine needles sell for the highest price.Farmers collect the fallen needles and sell them by the bale (捆).Farmers sell the needles as“pine straw (干松叶）".Homeowners and landscapers use it as mulch（护根物)，which is spread on the ground around plants.It slows weed（杂草）growth and helps keep water in the soil. It can improve the soil too.Longleaf pine straw looks good in the garden. It holds water well and it also keeps its colour.The longleaf pine tree is valuable in other ways. It is the state tree of North Carolina. The tree' s trunk makes strong, straight pieces of wood that are perfect for power poles.Terry Bryant runs Pinestar Farms.“Trees used for wood must be cut down.Each tree can only be sold once.But full-grown pines drop their needles yearly.I could earn a one-time $4, 000 per acre for clear-cutting my pines for wood. Or I could earn $1,200 an acre for collecting pine needles from the same trees, every year. The money from pine straw has helped me keep my land.The crop is safe from many threats,"Bryant said.“But the trees take 10 years to start growing needles. Besides, much of the needle picking work must be done by hand. Workers often earn about $900 a week. One bale is worth only $3to$5.”The best thing for nature is for pine needles to stay on the ground. Still, it is better for farmers to keep their trees than to cut them down.Plus, the industry has helped public lands. Instead of selling rights to cut down the trees, state parks can sell rights to their pine straw. That keeps old, full-grown trees standing for nesting birds.32.What does the underlined word“insane"in paragraph 1 mean?A.Smart              B.Funny               C.Crazy              D.Boring33.What can we infer about fallen pine needles from paragraph 2?A.They have a variety of uses.                 B.They can help remove weedsC.They can improve water quality           D.They fall out of favor with landscapers.34.What do Bryant's words in paragraph 4 show?A.The pine straw industry is a win-win for nature and farmers.B.Selling pine straw is a quick way to make moneyC. It's best to clear-cut pines for wood.D.Collecting pine needles is risky.35.What would be the best title for the text?A.Farmers stop cutting down treesB.Pine needles are cleaned up in forestsC.Pine trees go from valuable to dangerousD.Fallen pine needles are worth a lot of money 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Easy ways to reduce your food wasteShop smart.Most people tend to buy more food than they need. To avoid buying more food than you need, make frequent trips to the supermarket every few days rather than doing a big shopping trip once a week. 36       This will help you reduce impulse buying（冲动消费）and reduce food waste as well.Store food correctly.Improper storage leads to a massive amount of food waste. Many people are unsure how to store fruits and vegetables, which can lead to their eventually going bad. For example, potatoes, tomatoes, and onions should never be refrigerated.  37__                      Don't be a perfectionist.The consumer demand for perfect fruits and vegetables has led  major supermarkets to buy only picture-perfect produce from farmers. 38      It's such a big issue that major supermarkets have started offering “ugly" fruits and vegetables at a discount（折扣） in an attempt to reduce waste.39___            Although going out to lunch with co-workers may be enjoyable, it is also costly and can contribute to food waste. A helpful way to save money while reducing food waste is to bring your lunch to work with you. If you tend to have unfinished home-cooked meals, pack them up for a satisfying and healthy workday lunch.Understand expiration（到期）dates.“Sell by” and “Best by” are just two of the many confusing terms companies use on food labels to let consumers know when a product will most likely go bad. The truth is, most food that has just passed its expiration date is still safe to eat. “Sell by” is used to inform sellers when the product should be sold or removed from the shelves. “Best by” is a suggested date for consumers to use their products by. 40_    A.Pack your lunch.B. Get creative in the kitchen.C.These items should be kept at room temperature.D.This leads to tons of perfectly good food going to waste.E. Additionally, try making a list of items that you need to buy and stick to that list.F. Neither of these terms means that the product is unsafe to eat after the given date.G. Not surprisingly, industrialized countries waste more food than developing nations. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。At New Visions，hip-hop therapy（嘻哈音乐疗法）has become part of the school culture.

He couldn't believe his ears. The lawyer told him that his father left the 1923 Singer sewing machine（缝纫机）to him. It once belonged to his great-grandmother and his father considered it his greatest treasure. “That's very nice," David said. “But what else? What about the legacy(遗产）？The money? What does it all amount to? ”The lawyer, Mr. Jarvin , put down the will. He felt sorry for David but he thought David's father had explained the terms of the will before he died. David remembered that his father just told him he' d be passing on his riches, but he never specified the amount—that was what he was trying to find out! Mr. Jarvin said carefully, “David, no money at all." “That's impossible! ” David shouted. His father owned clothing factories all over the United States. He was rich! Mr. Jarvin explained that all the money was donated to charity under the terms of his father' s will. David was reeling(晕头转向）from the shock. He'd lived a life of wealth and now he was left with nothing but an old sewing machine ! Mr. Jarvin said to David that his father left him a letter which may explain his decision. David grabbed the envelope. His father's decision was to leave him a poor man! What kind of explanation could he possibly have for that! He drove back to his apartment just in time to see a van pull up.“Mr. David Ballesteros?” asked the man from the van. "Yes,” David said. “We have a delivery(快递）for you, sir. ”He gestured to the old sewing machine. “Where would you like it?” David was about to scream “In the trash(垃圾桶）！”but it occurred to him that the old item might be worth some money, so he ordered the man to take it up to his apartment. After the man left, David poured himself a drink and looked at the sewing machine. “I have an MBA. I'm prepared to run companies. What am I supposed to do with a sewing machine, Dad? ” he asked aloud.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。     Then he remembered the letter and opened it. __________________________________________                                                                                               ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________         When David put down the letter he had tears in his eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 CABBC     6-10 CBABB      11-15ACBBC      16-20CACAA阅读21-23 CBA         24-27 CBAD          28-31ADBA       32-35 CAAD       36-40 ECDAF 完形41-45 BACBD                46-50 ACBAC            51-55 DADCD语法填空56.getting     57.touched      58.stops     59.to       60.harder61.whose     62.achievement    63.to go    64.traditional    65.what作文第一节Dear David,How's everything been going? Our school newspaper is going to add a special column about English students' out-of-class activities. As an editor, I would also be responsible for part of that job. Thus I'm writing to ask if you could offer information and advice. You may share your ideas about how the students spend their out-of-class hours, what activities they like to do, whether they prefer to take part in group activities or not, and the support they get from their parents. I really appreciate your help!Yours, Li Hua 第二节One possible version: Then he remembered the letter and opened it. His father explained in the letter, “Our greatest legacy is our work values and our roots.” When David's great-grandmother came to this country, she bought a sewing machine and made clothes. She worked so hard and ten years later, she had a clothing factory. But when she died, David's grandfather was left with nothing except the sewing machine. He built his business on that sewing machine. “So I pass on that treasure to you. You are free to reinvent yourself without being held back by what I did,” the letter said. When David put down the letter he had tears in his eyes. He ran a loving hand over the sewing machine and smiled. David, who was a fan of surfing, started thinking about how boring some of the surfboard covers he'd seen were.  Then he took some of his old jeans and made a new cover. It was the beginning of what would soon be a best-selling brand of surfwear! Years later, David was invited to set up an exhibit, and at the very center of it all was his greatest treasure: his great-grandmother's sewing machine.
