Helen Keller was born on June 27，1880. Though Keller was one of the most

famous women in the world during her life, most people now don't know her as the

woman she was: the activist, peacemaker and women's rights advocate (提倡者.).

As is the case with many great women, Helen Keller has been lost in history

because we don't tell her full story. Far too often we remember famous women for

simply one thing. For instance, we remember Rosa Parks as the woman who refused

to get off the bus because she was tired. In reality, she was a long-time civil rights

activist who was tired of being mistreated because she was a "woman of color.

Behind these images are stories of amazing women who changed our world-

Helen Keller fought tirelessly for women's voting right and spent years advocating

improvements in women's and children's health. Throughout her adult life, she

supported efforts to make reproductive healthcare accessible to women in extreme

poverty and created a close relationship with Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned

Parenthood.

At a time when very few women worked outside the home and there were only

a handful of women in public office Keller--who couldn't see or hear-traveled to

39 countries, bringing hope and inspiration to millions. Most notably, she served as a

US peace ambassador to Japan after the bombing of Hiroshima (广岛)，receiving the

Presidential Medal of Freedom, America' s highest civilian honor in 1964.

Keller' s name can still be seen across the globe today. Travel to almost any

Country in the world and you' 11 find Helen Keller schools and organizations working

on behalf of women and people with disabilities. Let's remember Keller in her

entirety. Next time some people mention the “Miracle Worker", ask them if they

know what happened to Helen Keller. If they don't, it's your chance to tell her

whole story.

What is the real purpose behind buying a car? A car can be bought for conve-

nience or for the pure thrill of driving. You need to analyze and write down the rea-

sons for buying a new car. What kind of model will suit your lifestyle best? What is

the total budget you can afford to buy a new car? The kind of model you select

should be suitable for the lifestyle you lead and you should make sure your finances

will not be affected in any way.

Different car models have different advantages. Every car model had its special

features that might add to confusion while you are making a decision. The shape and

able dealer with a respectable name in the market. Look at the warranty (保单)and the

insurance rate because every model has different rates.

When teenagers begin looking for new survey sites, they go in the wrong

direction. Because of this, 95% of you will end/ up joining some of the lowest paying

places you could imagine. A simple fix (解决方法)for this is to change how you

"look" for surveys.

The -web will never lack teenagers survey sites. New ones are appearing rapidly,

which is also the problem. So many of them are flying onto the web and about all of

them are paying very low amounts for their surveys. The problem is that most people

can't find the better paying ones that open up because they still try to use a search

engine to locate the best places.

.All you get now are teenagers survey sites that might be flashy, but have very

low payments. The quick fix is to use the power of large forums. It's your instant

and total source of honest knowledge about surveys. That's right. I said "honest",

which is really hard to find when it comes to surveys. Big forums have tons of it,

though, because they hate spam (垃圾由P 件)and take all of it out of their topics.

They also clear up the false or misleading information that people leave.

That，s the huge reason why they work so well. Besides this, the archive (档案)

section of a large forum is full of topics about surveys. You can rank all of them

up, which is exactly what you need to do. You will see which are the teenagers

survey sites other boys and girls are. making the most cash with and where they are

not. You get a very nice list of top dollar places this way.

Adam Woodham is an expert on Paid Surveys and runs the resource site Free

Survey List, which features a top 5 list of the free teenagers survey sites he has

made the most amount of money on, along with a review of each.

64. The writer believes that lowest paying survey sites are .

A. economical B. educational C. useless D. personal

65. It's hard for teenagers to find better paying survey sites because .

A. teenagers couldn't afford to use them

B. there afe few better paying survey sites

C. better paying survey sites are always out of work

D. teenagers often want to find them by the search engine

66. According to the passage, large forums can help teenagers .

A. make proper surveys by themselves

B. find more information about surveys

C. speak openly and exchange ideas freely

D. know the importance of being honest in studying

67. The passage mainly tells us .

A. the function of the forum

B. what the teenagers survey site is

C. how to find better teenagers survey sites

D. how to make teenagers survey sites more effective

Economists usually study markets. Now, two Americans have won the Nobel

Prize in economics in 2009 for not studying markets. They shared almost one and a

half million dollars for their analysis of economic governance. This is the study of

how economic activity is governed within companies, communities and other groups.

The winners are Elinor Ostrom of Indiana University in Bloomington and Oliver

Williamson of the University of California, Berkeley. The prize in economic sciences

has gone to sixty-three men since it was first awarded forty years ago. Elinor Ostrom

is the first woman. And, like other winners over the years, her training is not limited

to economics. She is a professor of political science and of public and environmental

affairs.

Today, economic theory suggests that good resource management requires

ownership, either private or public. If not, as the thinking goes, then self-interest will

lead to overuse and destruction of shared resources. Garrett Hardin described this

idea in 1986 as "the tragedy of the commons".

Elinor Ostrom showed how local decision making can reduce the tragedy. Her

research has deepened understanding of how people balance their needs with those of

others who depend on the same resources. She studied communities, like fanners in

Southern California who depended on a common water supply. She documented how

people who use resources often develop ways to share them. One example is forest

management.

Oliver WUliamson has studied big companies and found that they often are better than markets at doing complex jobs. Under his theory, businesses act as structures for conflict resolution (解决) For example, companies that own their suppliers can avoid long -term contracts and quarrel over prices. This can make production more efficient and make better use of limited resources. But businesses can also overuse their power. Professor Williamson says the best way to deal with this is not by limiting the size of companies, but through industry regulation.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said economists need to do more than

study markets and prices. The Nobel judges urged more research like the kind they

recognized with this year's award.

68. The two people. who won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2009 . .

A. have studied markets for a long time

B. got a prize of about 1.5 million dollars each

C. are famous for studying how economic activity is monitored

D. are well-known for their economic governance in groups

69. Which of the following may Elinor Ostrom agree with?

A. Excellent resource management needs both private and public ownership.

B. Shared resources will be likely to lead to self-interest.

C. Garrett Hardin' s opinion of "the tragedy of the commons".

D. Local decision is good for people to share resources.

70. In Oliver Williamsion' s opinion, big companies .

A. can balance people's needs

B. will lead to overuse of shared resources

C. will make better use of resources ‘

D. will make price higher

71. It can be inferred frim the text that .

A. not all economic Nobel Prize receivers are good at studying prices

B. doing complex jobs is a difficult problem for big companies

C. in the author's opinion, Garrett Hardin's theory is out of date completely

D. Nobel judges think more research should be done to prove Oliver Williamsin' s

theory

There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the

past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could

cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world' s leading cities are facing

disasters like floods and heat waves.

Lcmdoii

London's flood defenses are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year, and according to Environment Agency predictions, by

2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.

There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London' s flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.

Paris

Over a six-week period in July and August, 2003', more than 11,400mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration (脱水)and extremely high body

. V •

temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity (强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?

One solution is to have air conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this

is considered a short -term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions (排放). ‘

In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building "Flower Tower", which uses a covering of bamboo to aet as a natural air conditioner. Shan^im

Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million

and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea level is predicted to rise by 20cm within

the next century.

An estimated 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year hunting for jobs,

placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal-fired power

stations, but these emissions increase temperature and, in turn, Waraieii seas increase

the risk of typhoons.

72. What problem should be settled now in London?

A. How to protect the city's property.

B Where to build its flood defenses.

C. .How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city.

D. How to improve the function of its flood defenses.

73. Which of the following can NOT solve the heat wave disaster in Paris according

to the passage?

A. Limiting the amount of carbon emissions from factories or cars.

B. Having air conditioners installed in elderly care homes.

C. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower".

D. Encouraging architercts to design new types of buildings. •

74. The major threat to Shanghai is according to the passage.

A. the increasing population and the need for jobs

B. rising sea level and typhoons

C. extremely high temperature and rising sea level

D. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons

75. The purpose of the passage is to . •

A. tell us how to protect the big cities

B. give advice on how to defend against natural disasters

C. explain what causes flood and heat waves

D. warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities
