28．（10分）What does it mean to be green？Green is more than just a color.It also means taking special steps to protect the environment.Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take.Deciding whether a product is green，however，isn't always easy.We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product，even after it's of no use.Here is what we may keep in mind.
The materials of a product are usually our first focus.What is it made of？Are there any harmful chemicals in it？Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals，so they can be good for our physical health.
Packing is important.How is a product packed？Is it over﹣packed？We'd better choose glass，metal and paper packing，as these can be reused or more easily recycled.We can also look for less packing or even choose unbagged products whenever possible.
Location matters.Where was a product produced？Where are we buying it？Think about how much energy was used to get it to us.Try to choose local products.When it comes to food，it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers，shop at markets and buy fruits in season.Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice，because we can go there without driving a car.
Look into what the company tells us about their product.It's easy to say that a product is "green" or "all natural"，but the words may be too good to be true.So，much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt.After all，companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible.
The greenest thing is certainly the one we don't buy.Things like food and clothing are necessary for life.But many others are not.Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store and doing without.It sends a message to the producer，keeps money in our pockets，reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy.

（1）What do we know from Paragraph 1？ 　 　
A.Green is just a kind of color.
B.Green also means taking actions to protect the environment.
C.Deciding if a product is green is easy.
D.It is a big step to buy a green product.
（2）What is talked about in Paragraph 2？ 　 　
A.Why we first focus materials of a product.
B.What green products are made of.
C.How a product is packed.
D.Where a product is produced.
（3）We'd better choose this kind of packing except 　 　.
A.glass
B.metal
C.paper
D.plastic
（4）According to the writer，we should choose a product that is 　 　.
A.made of unnatural materials
B.produced abroad
C.locally produced
D.over packed
（5）What is the best title for the passage？ 　 　
A.Reducing Energy Use.
B.Keeping Healthy.
C.Recycling Waste.
D.Buying Green.

39．（15分）Self﹣respect（自尊） is of great importance.Self﹣respect is a feeling of being happy about one's characters，abilities and beliefs.
Developing self﹣respect means developing self﹣confidence to deal with whatever life throws at us.The following are some ways we can improve our self﹣respect.
There is great stress from parents，work and society to become a certain person and to achieve certain goals.A real self﹣respect is very important and you should believe in your own values and remember what is important to you.Everyone needs to follow his or her own path.
Nobody likes criticism（批评）.To keep a sense of self﹣respect，we need to learn how to deal with criticism.Don't get sad by the things someone else says or does.Maybe it is completely untrue，so pay no attention to it.If there is some truth，we can use it to develop our characters.Jealousy（嫉妒） of other people's success will cause the loss of our happiness and self﹣respect.Jealousy is simply envy of other people's success.The truth is that there will always be some people more successful than us.The way of lasting self﹣respect is to be happy with others' success.
If you have no respect for others，how can you have self﹣respect？It isn't right to feel better by putting others down.If we look for good qualities in other people，it is easier to remember the good qualities in ourselves.
Forgive others and yourself.Don't live in the past，but move on from the past mistakes and difficult situations.If your mind is full of problems in the past，you will always feel sad.Self﹣respect comes when we get tolerant（宽容的）.
Sometimes we work with the best of motives（动机） only to be sorry for the result.It is the nature of life that things will not happen as we hoped，but it is a mistake to connect our sense of self﹣respect with the achievements.
How to develop respect for yourself
Theme
Keeping a sense of self﹣respect is a very （1）　 　part of a great life.
Idea of self﹣respect
Self﹣respect is a（2）　 　of being happy with one's characters，abilities and beliefs.It can make one develop self﹣confidence of working out all kinds of problems in one's life.
Six （3）　 　to develop self﹣respect
Being true to yourself
★Believe in your own values and （4）　 　your own path.
Learning to deal with criticism
★Never get sad by things （5）　 　do or say.
★Pay no attention to untrue criticism and try to make progress from true criticism.
Avoiding jealousy
★Jealousy is a common way of （6）　 　our happiness and self﹣respect.
★Learn to be happy when others become （7）　 　.
Respecting others
★It is （8）　 　to feel better by putting others down.
★Look for the good qualities in other people.
Forgiving
★Move on from the past mistakes made by others or yourself.
★Don't let your mind filled （9）　 　the mistakes in the past.
Remembering your motives，not your （10）

七、综合填空 根据短文内容，在横线上填入适当的单词，使短文完整、通顺。给出单词的空格不限一词，没有给出单词的空格限一词。
40．（15分）People need to drink enough water every day.Sometimes，you might not finish drinking your glass of water before （1）　 　（go） to bed.You might want to drink it the next morning. （2）　 　have you ever wondered if it is still safe to drink？
"If you have clean water in （3）　 　 clean glass，you're fine to drink it for a day or two，"Kellogg Schwab from the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute in the US told Times.
But you may find that it（4）　 　 （taste） strange.That's because after about 12 hours the carbon dioxide（二氧化碳） in the air reacts with the water in your glass，slightly lowering the PH level of water.
Also，there might be more microorganisms（微生物） in your water if you leave it out overnight.Microorganisms grow much （5）　 　（quick） at room temperature.These microorganisms can stick to your glass.They can make you get sick more easily.But if you clean your glasses very often，this （6）　 　 （not be）a problem.
In countries like the US and UK，people often drink water directly from the tap.This is OK——however，tap water can't be stored for a long time.Most experts say that tap water has a shelf life（保存期限） of six months，according to Zane Satterfield from West Virginia University，US.After six months，there is less chlorine（氯） in the water and bacteria（细菌） start to grow.You'd better （7）　 　 （not drink） the water，or you may get sick.
What about plastic water bottles？Schwab said people should be （8）　 　（care） with them.If you leave a bottle of water in the sun or a car （9）　 　a long period of time，the plastic produces a chemical（10）　 　 （call） BPA.This chemical can cause heart disease and cancer.

28．（10分）What does it mean to be green？Green is more than just a color.It also means taking special steps to protect the environment.Buying a green product is a small step everyone can take.Deciding whether a product is green，however，isn't always easy.We need to consider the whole life cycle of the product，even after it's of no use.Here is what we may keep in mind.
The materials of a product are usually our first focus.What is it made of？Are there any harmful chemicals in it？Green products are made of more natural materials which are free from harmful chemicals，so they can be good for our physical health.
Packing is important.How is a product packed？Is it over﹣packed？We'd better choose glass，metal and paper packing，as these can be reused or more easily recycled.We can also look for less packing or even choose unbagged products whenever possible.
Location matters.Where was a product produced？Where are we buying it？Think about how much energy was used to get it to us.Try to choose local products.When it comes to food，it is a good idea to order directly from local farmers，shop at markets and buy fruits in season.Buying from stores near our houses is also a good choice，because we can go there without driving a car.
Look into what the company tells us about their product.It's easy to say that a product is "green" or "all natural"，but the words may be too good to be true.So，much of the information about a product should be taken with a grain of salt.After all，companies try to make us believe that their products are environmentally responsible.
The greenest thing is certainly the one we don't buy.Things like food and clothing are necessary for life.But many others are not.Better than buying is choosing to leave an unnecessary product in the store and doing without.It sends a message to the producer，keeps money in our pockets，reduces waste and keeps the planet healthy.

（1）What do we know from Paragraph 1？ 　B　
A.Green is just a kind of color.
B.Green also means taking actions to protect the environment.
C.Deciding if a product is green is easy.
D.It is a big step to buy a green product.
（2）What is talked about in Paragraph 2？ 　A　
A.Why we first focus materials of a product.
B.What green products are made of.
C.How a product is packed.
D.Where a product is produced.
（3）We'd better choose this kind of packing except 　D　.
A.glass
B.metal
C.paper
D.plastic
（4）According to the writer，we should choose a product that is 　C　.
A.made of unnatural materials
B.produced abroad
C.locally produced
D.over packed
（5）What is the best title for the passage？ 　D　
A.Reducing Energy Use.

39．（15分）Self﹣respect（自尊） is of great importance.Self﹣respect is a feeling of being happy about one's characters，abilities and beliefs.
Developing self﹣respect means developing self﹣confidence to deal with whatever life throws at us.The following are some ways we can improve our self﹣respect.
There is great stress from parents，work and society to become a certain person and to achieve certain goals.A real self﹣respect is very important and you should believe in your own values and remember what is important to you.Everyone needs to follow his or her own path.
Nobody likes criticism（批评）.To keep a sense of self﹣respect，we need to learn how to deal with criticism.Don't get sad by the things someone else says or does.Maybe it is completely untrue，so pay no attention to it.If there is some truth，we can use it to develop our characters.Jealousy（嫉妒） of other people's success will cause the loss of our happiness and self﹣respect.Jealousy is simply envy of other people's success.The truth is that there will always be some people more successful than us.The way of lasting self﹣respect is to be happy with others' success.
If you have no respect for others，how can you have self﹣respect？It isn't right to feel better by putting others down.If we look for good qualities in other people，it is easier to remember the good qualities in ourselves.
Forgive others and yourself.Don't live in the past，but move on from the past mistakes and difficult situations.If your mind is full of problems in the past，you will always feel sad.Self﹣respect comes when we get tolerant（宽容的）.
Sometimes we work with the best of motives（动机） only to be sorry for the result.It is the nature of life that things will not happen as we hoped，but it is a mistake to connect our sense of self﹣respect with the achievements.

【分析】本文主要讲述了最好不要喝隔夜水。
【解答】（1）考查动名词。句意：有时，你可能还没喝完睡前的那杯水。介词before后跟动名词。go to bed去睡觉。故填going。
（2）考查连词。句意：但你有没有想过喝这杯水是否仍然安全？根据前句You might want to drink it the next morning.（你可能想第二天早上再喝。）以及后句have you ever wondered if it is still safe to drink？（你有没有想过喝这杯水是否仍然安全？）可知，前后句之间存在转折，用转折连词but，位于句首，单词首字母大写。故填But。
（3）考查冠词。句意：如果你在一个干净的杯子里有干净的水，你喝个一两天是可以的。根据glass可知，该处表示"一个干净的杯子"，glass是辅音音素开头的单词，用冠词a。故填a。
（4）考查动词。句意：但你可能会发现它尝起来很奇怪。主语it是第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，主谓一致。故填tastes。
（5）考查副词的比较级。句意：微生物在室温下生长得更快。much修饰形容词/副词的比较级，表示"更......得多"；用副词quickly的比较级形式修饰动词grow。故填more quickly。
（6）考查一般将来时。句意：但是如果你经常清洗你的杯子，这就不是问题。根据But if you clean your glasses very often（但是如果你经常清洗你的杯子）可知，此处是if引导的条件状语从句，要满足主将从现的原则，主句用一般将来时，其结构为will do，其否定句结构为will not/won't do。故填will not/won't be。
（7）考查动词。句意：你最好不要喝这个水，否则你可能会生病。you'd better not do sth.最好不要做某事，是固定句型。故填not drink。
（8）考查形容词。句意：施瓦布说，人们应该小心使用它们。be careful with小心，是固定搭配。故填careful。
（9）考查介词。句意：如果你把一瓶水长时间放在阳光下或汽车里，塑料会产生一种叫做BPA的化学物质。根据a long period of time可知，修饰一段时间，用介词for。故填for。
（10）考查动词。句意：如果你把一瓶水长时间放在阳光下或汽车里，塑料会产生一种叫做BPA的化学物质。根据a chemical...BPA（一种......BPA的化学物质）可知，用call的过去分词called表被动，表示"被叫作"。故填called。
【点评】题目要求用所给词的适当形式填空，考查学生对语法知识的掌握及对词性转换能力。做题时，要根据题干中的相关提示来确定空缺处单词的词性及单词的形式，然后对所给单词进行适当的变形，从而得出正确答案。
