Sisters Ella and Caitlin， aged 9 and 7， started a petition（請愿）to call on the big fast-food companies to stop putting plastic toys over kidsmeals， after they learned in school about the ????41 ????that plastic does to wildlife and the ????42 ???. Their petition had over 343，000signatures， with a ????43 ????of 500，000.

“We know our young guests ????44 ????enjoy King Jr. meals. We are working on more ????45 ????packaging and alternative toy solutions，”Burger King said， “Our company has ?????46 ????to have a more continuable toy solution ????47 ????by next year.”

McDonalds said，“In UK over the six months our Happy Meal ????48 ????will include a mixture of board games， books and ????49 ????toys—which will see an almost 60% ????50 ????in the number of hard plastic toys given away in ????51 ????to the first half of the year.”

“We eat at Burger King and McDonalds， but ????52 ????only play with the plastic toys given minutes， ?????53 ????to get thrown away to harm animals and ????54 ????the sea，”the two wrote for the petition.“We want something to be continuable and ?????55 ????our planet.

I was diagnosed（診斷）with breast cancer in February this year – it came as a huge shock. Id just turned 25， and recently finished recording an album with my ????41 ????Ishmael Ensemble. However， I didnt ????42 ????myself as a person with a disease.

I chose to make my experience as ????43 ????as possible-even wearing my ????44 ????clothes to go in for chemotherapy（化療）. I loved myself throughout this process. I called my ?????45 ????process my“dragon transformation”，because I found all the ????46 ????associated with dragons really powerful. I wanted to ?????47 ????peoples view of cancer and disease. Yes， it could be ?????48 ????and challenging， but it was also the making of me. Before I found out I took fitness and health really ????49 ????but found it difficult to ????50 ????my body. Then whenI began chemotherapy， my body started to change： my hair ????51 ????and I couldnt work out ????52 ???. It made me appreciate who I am on the ????53 ????more， and realize how amazing and ????54 ????my body is， even if I had to stand there on ????55 ????singing out with my bald（禿頭的）head.

Fortunately， I was out of danger， which was ????56 ???. I was still in discussion about having the operation. I didnt know what I should do about that ????57 ????but I would listen to my body and make the ????58 ????decision.

Now I am back in the ????59 ????recording a record with my band. I work so hard to love myself throughout this process， ?????60 ????state Im in. Im feeling content with my life because I really believe anything is possible.

Many Chinese young people are discovering the excitement of skateboarding， and skating ramps（斜坡）are being built in some parks. Those fashionable（時尚的） ???41 ????who live in ?????42 ????China also have a chance to ????43 ????a different kind of boarding —snowboarding when the winter ????44 ????puts a stop to most outdoor games.

There is so much ????45 ????for winter sports in China that the number of people taking part is expected to grow by ten to twenty times in just five years， ????46 ????between 50 and 100 million by this year. This has led to the ????47 ????of many pieces of?new equipment， and there are now more than two hundred ski slopes（滑雪場）in China， many of which ????48 ????have snowboarding runs. Although most mature people ????49 ????to ski， many of the younger generation prefer snowboarding because they say it is more creative， faster and there are fewer ????50 ???.

Of the total number of Chinese people ????51 ????winter sports， the percentage of snowboarders is higher than in any other ????52 ???， and companies who supply snowboarding equipment are ????53 ????to see this trend continue. Suppliers are doing all they can to ????54 ????the sport as a cool and trendy way of ?????55 ????for Chinas youth.

56 ???， snowboarding， like all winter sports， is still very expensive. ????57 ???， it probably will not be long before the other ????58 ????areas of China such as Sichuan， Xinjiang and Yunnan are developed， and as more equipment becomes ????59 ???， prices will almost certainly ????60 ???. So who knows？ Soon we may all be able to have a go at the hottest sport for cold weather.

In the end， ????48 ???， an army of beetles（甲蟲）attacked the tree and leveled it to the ????49 ???.

答案與解析

（一）本文作者從其父親在黑人居住區(qū)推銷保險時尊重黑人、不對黑人抱偏見，從而在其去世后還被一位黑人懷念的經(jīng)歷，得到了人生的經(jīng)驗，那就是從不評判種族的優(yōu)劣，不抱偏見和友好待人。

41. C 從第一段最后一句可以看出，作者的媽媽來到了美國;他爸爸后來才在哈萊姆（美國紐約的黑人居住區(qū)）推銷保險。

42. A從下一句的selling policies和下一段中的They dont buy insurance可以看出，他最終進入了保險業(yè)。

43. D 從后文的Give me Harlem可以看出，能夠?qū)arlem這個地盤交給作者父親的只能是他的老板。同事沒有這個權(quán)利;剛?cè)胄械谋ｋU推銷員也不可能有秘書。

44. A 由背景知識，Harlem是紐約的黑人居住區(qū)可知，或由第三段的not to look down upon the black可知，選black。

45. C 后面兩句話，都是作者父親的心理活動，所以應(yīng)該是他在想或在思考。

46. B作者的父親請求老板將哈萊姆銷售區(qū)域交給自己。

47. B他拿到哈萊姆地區(qū)之后，就在那里推銷（sell）保險。

48. D從后文作者在電視（電臺）節(jié)目中談起、回憶他的父親可知，他的父親1994年去世了。

49. A在節(jié)目中，作者給觀眾（聽眾）講述 （told） 他父親的故事。

50. C作者的父親經(jīng)常教他們不要有偏見（open-minded），不要瞧不起（look down upon）黑人。

51. D由最后一段的第一句（The letter made me ...）可知，是收到一位75歲的婦女的來信（letter）。

52. C作者收到的是信，那就應(yīng)該是寫信（write）了。

53. B由下一句的come to dinner at their house可知選house。

54. D從第一段的種族歧視、第三段的父親教我們不要看不起黑人可以看出，作者的父親是唯一一個去過她們家吃飯的白人。最后一段中她對待白人的態(tài)度，也有提示。

55. A從下句的treated her with kindness和gave her a piece of candy可知他對她很好。

56. B從下文他總是給她糖果，可知他對她很好。

57. C從上下文可以看出，作者父親很多年以前平等對待黑人的做法，被老婦人記憶至今，所以這封信使作者感動得哭了。

58. A上文說，作者的父親是去過她們家吃飯的唯一的白人，所以應(yīng)該是他對她的家人很好。

59. B本句的意思是，她對白人的態(tài)度，建立在她小時候?qū)λ芎玫哪莻€白人身上。

60. D總結(jié)全文，作者通過這次經(jīng)歷，學(xué)到了一個人生的經(jīng)驗，那就是：不要評判種族的優(yōu)劣，不抱偏見和友好待人。

（二）作者希望我們不僅對我們身邊的人好，而且要對我們的環(huán)境也要好。她號召我們從身邊的小事如坐公交車或走路等作起都可以為保護環(huán)境做出貢獻。

41. A 因“善待別人”與“忘記去善待……”是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故選A項。

42. B 由下然Global warming is quite a big issue ... 可知，是對“環(huán)境”不友好。
