6、itions(請?jiān)笗﹉ave long been a part of British political life. Anyone who wanted to change something would get a list of signatures from people who agreed to the idea and either send them to the government or deliver them personally to the Prime Ministers house in London. They are always accepted at th
7、e door by one of the PMS officials. What happens then? Nothing much, usually. But petitions have always been thought of as a useful way for those who govern to find out what the people really think. Thats why the UK government launched its “e-petition” site in November 2006. Instead of physically co
8、llecting signatures, all anyone with an idea has to do now is to make a proposal on the government website, and anyone who supports the idea is free to add his or her signature. The petitions soon started to flow in. The idea was for the British people to express their constructive ideas. Many chose
9、 instead to express their sense of humor. One petitioner called on Tony Blair to “stop the Deputy Prime Minister eating so much”. Another wanted to expel(驅(qū)逐)Scotland from the United Kingdom because Scottish football fans never support England in the World Cup. Other petitioners called on the Prime M
10、inister to abolish the monarchy. Some wanted to give it more power. Some wanted to oppose the United States. Others wanted to leave the European Union. Some wanted to send more troops to Iraq and others wanted them all brought home. Some wanted to adopt the euro(歐元). Others wanted to keep the pound.
11、 Yet if some petitions are not serious, others present a direct challenge to government policy. A petition calling on the government to drop plans to charge drivers for using roads has already drawn around l.8 million signatures. In response to that, a rival petition has been posted in support of ro
12、ad pricing. And that is also rapidly growing. There are about 60 million people in Britain, so it is understandable that the government wants to find out what people are thinking. But the problem with the e-petition site seems to be that the British people have about 70 million opinions, and want th
13、e Prime Minister to hear all of them. Perhaps he could start a petition asking everyone to just shut up for a while. 16A petition needs to be signed.

16、cently brings bad news about air pollution. It suggests that it could be as damaging to our health as exposure to the radiation from the l986 Ukraine nuclear power plant disaster. The report was published by the UKS Royal Commissionon Environmental Pollution. But what can city people do to reduce ex
17、posure to air pollution? Quite a lot, it turns out. 2Avoid walking in busy streets. Choose side streets and parks instead. Pollution levels can fall a considerable amount just by moving a few meters away from the main pollution source - exhaust fumes(廢氣). Also dont walk behind smokers. Walk on the w
18、indward(頂風(fēng)的)side of the street where exposure of pollutants(污染物)can be 50 percent less than on the downwind(順風(fēng)的)side. 3Sitting on the drivers side of a bus can increase your exposure by l0 percent, compared with sitting on the side nearest the pavement. Sitting upstairs on a double-decker(雙層電車)can r
19、educe exposure. It is difficult to say whether traveling on an underground train is better or worse than taking the bus. Air pollution on underground trains tends to be less toxic(有毒的)than that at street level, because underground pollution is mostly made up of tiny iron particles(粒子)thrown up by wh
20、eels hitting the rails, while diesel(柴油機(jī))and petrol fumes have a mixture of pollutants. 4When you are crossing a road, stand well back from the curb(路緣)while you wait for the light to change. Every meter really does count when you are close to traffic. As the traffic begins to move, fumes can be red
21、uced in just a few seconds. So holding your breath for just a moment can make a difference, even though it might sound silly. 5There are large sudden pollution increases during rush hours. Pollution levels fall during nighttime. The time of year also makes a big difference. Pollution levels tend to
22、be at their lowest during spring and autumn when winds are freshest. Extreme cold or hot weather has a trapping effect and tends to cause a build-up of pollutants. 23Paragraph 2 24Paragraph 3_25Paragraph 4_26Paragraph 5_AWhere you stand while waiting to crossBWhere you walkCWhere you sit on a bus an

25、ent or grandparent. Often, its accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans(孤兒)in Africa!” Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying “clean the plate” perhaps we should save some food for tom
26、orrow. According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies (肚子). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with
27、 value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little. Barbara Rolls, a nutrition(營養(yǎng))professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the l970s.the same time that t
28、he American waistline(腰圍)began to expand. Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4.000 people surveyed believed
29、restaurants served portions that were too large;23 percent had no opinion;20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who cant afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150, 000 per year prefer smaller portions;
30、 but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25, 000 want smaller. Its not that working class Americans dont want to eat healthy. Its just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck(薪金支票)to paycheck, happy to save
31、 a little money for next years Christmas presents. 31Parents in the United States tend to ask their children Ato save food for tomorrow. Bto wash the dishes. Cnot to waste food. Dnot to eat too much. 32Why do American restaurants serve large portions? ABecause Americans associate quantity with value
32、. BBecause Americans have big bellies. CBecause Americans are good eaters. DBecause Americans are too weak. 33What happened in the l970s? AThe US government called on its people to reduce their weight. BHealth experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions. CThe United States produced more
33、grain than needed. DThe American waistline started to expand. 34What does the survey indicate?A Many low-income Americans want large portions. B Twenty percent of Americans want smaller portions. C Fifty-seven percent of Americans want large portions. D Forty-five percent of Americans want smaller p
34、ortions. 35Which of the following is NOT true of working class Americans?AThey work long hours.BThey live from paycheck to paycheck. CThey dont want to be healthy eaters. DThey want to save money for presents. 第二篇A New Immigration Bill The US Senate is considering a new immigration bill. It will val
35、ue the economic promise of immigrants over family ties when considering US residency and citizenship. The legislation, which was proposed by President Bush and a group of senators, contains a point system. The proposal aims to increase the number of immigrants with graduate degrees, earnings or job
36、skills. The proposed point system would use a l00-point scale. According to a draft of the law, merit applicants could earn up to 47 points for things like occupation, or year of work for a US firm. They could earn up to 28 points for their education, 15 points for English and US civics(公民學(xué)), and l0
37、 points for family ties. The system has stirred up debate. Critics on the left say it opposes family unity and American values. Critics on the right complain that it does not reflect the needs of high-tech employers. The current kinship(血緣關(guān)系)-based system puts pressure on the US, as it attracts low-
38、skill workers who consume more public services than they pay back in taxes. It allows a variety of uneducated people in from Mexico and Central America. The immigration bill would allow eight years to clear the current backlog(積壓)of application for a permanent resident card, or green card. After tha
39、t, only the children and spouses(配偶)of legal immigrants would be able to apply for family visas. Adult children, siblings(兄弟姐妹), parents, and other relatives would have to apply in the general queue (排隊(duì)). Under the proposal, immigrants from Asian, countries would likely fare well(很有利). For instance,
40、 over half of recent immigrants from China and India have a bachelors(學(xué)士的)or higher degree. Immigrants from Latin American countries would likely face more difficulties. Immigration point systems have been in use in Canada, Australia and New Zealand for years. The UK adopted a similar approach in 20
41、01. One thing that Canada and other nations have discovered is that their system needs to fit the needs of their economy. Too often they find that they attract highly-educated people who end up finding work that doesnt use their skills. Some end up driving a taxi. 36One of the reasons for proposing
42、the point system isAto give priority to immigrants from China. Bto protect the US from terrorist attacks. Cto attract skilled immigrants. Dto increase population. 37What do critics on the right say about the proposed point system?AIt opposes family unity. BIt is very difficult to apply. CIt opposes
43、American values. DIt does not meet the needs of hightech employers. 38Which statement is NOT true of the current system?AIt is kinship-based. BIt puts pressure on the US. CIt drawslow-skilled workers. DIt attracts highly-educated people. 39Who can apply for family visas in future?AThe uncles and aun
44、ts of legal immigrants. BThe brothers and sisters of legal immigrants. CThe spouses and young children of legal immigrants. DThe parents and grandparents of legal immigrants. 40Which country adopted the point system in 2001 ? AThe UK. BThe US. CCanada. DAustralia第三篇Political SpinsLast week, US White
45、 House spokesman Tony Snow sent journalists digging for their dictionaries. He called recent criticism by the former President Bill Clinton “chutzpah”(大膽放肆). With just one sentence, Snow managed to make headlines, a joke and a defense of President George W. Bush. Interestingly, this is how battles a
46、re fought and won in US politics - with carefully-worded one-liners(一行字幕新聞)made for TV which often lack substance and clarity(清晰度). “The amount of information that candidates attempt to communicate to people is actually getting smaller and smaller,” said Mark Smith, a political science professor at
47、Cedarville University. This has been accompanied by a changing media environment, Smith said. In l968, the average TV or radio soundbite(演講中的句子或短語)was 48 seconds, according to Smith. In l996, the average soundbite had shrunk(縮短)to 8 seconds. Thus, politicians wanting publicity try to make their publ
48、ic communication as quotable as possible. Campaigning politicians also use 30-second TV ads and clever campaign slogans(口號)to boost their messages. Republican presidential candidate John McCain rides to campaign stops in a bus named the “Straight-Talk Express”. McCain hopes the name will convince vo
49、ters he plans to tell people the truth - whether its in fashion or not. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has chosen the campaign slogan “Let the conversation begin”. She hopes it will help her appear open-minded and friendly. But one-liners, TV ads and campaign s
50、logans all have a single key ingredient: something commonly called political-“spin”. Brooks Jackson, a former journalist and the current director of the non-partisan(無黨派的)website FactC, calls spin “just a polite word for deception(欺騙). ”“I do believe that very often politicians believe their own spi
51、n. ”said Jackson. “Strong partisans suffer from a universal human tendency:They ignore the evidence that would force them into the uncomfortable position of having to change their minds and admit that they were wrong.”41Which statement is NOT true of one-1iners? AThey are unclear. BThey contain a lo
52、t of information. CThey lack substance. DThey are carefully constructed. 42What changed from l968 to 1996? APublicity. BInformation. CCommunication. DThe average soundbite. 43The campaign slogan “Straight-Talk Express” aims at convincing voters that the presidential candidate is Ahonest. Bfriendly.
53、Copen-minded.Dwarm-hearted. 44According to Brooks Jackson, all campaign slogans are Aattractive. Bimpressive. Cdeceptive. Dinformative. 45Which statement best describes strong partisans?AThey are very funny. BThey are very healthy. CThey are very aggressive. DThey are very stubborn(頑固的)第5部分:補(bǔ)全短文(第46

Three Thai citizens were killed and more than 30 injured. Among the injured, six we
55、re foreigners. No Chinese casualties were reposed, the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok, the capital, said on Monday. (46)But other embassies have advised their citizens to avoid traveling to Bangkok. “There is a possibility of further attacks in coming days, ” said a travel advisory(公告)from Australia. “A
56、ustralians are urged to avoid unnecessary travel in Bangkok.”No terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombings by Tuesday . (47)Bombings and shootings occur almost daily in Thailands three southernmost provinces. Yala, Naarathiwat and Pattani have a dominant Muslim population and have long
57、complained of neglect(忽視)and discrimination(歧視)in the largely Buddhist(佛教徒的)nation. They have asked for independence and a separate Islamic(伊斯蘭的)state. Since 2004, the insurgents(叛亂者)have carried out numerous attacks in the south and more than l,900 people have been killed. (48)But Thai Prime Minist
58、er Surayud Chulanont said on Monday that domestic politics rather than the Muslim insurgency was behind the bombings. “It is likely related to people who lost their political benefits,” Surayud said, referring to Thaksin Shinawatra. (49)Surayud was later appointed interim(臨時(shí)的)prime minister. Thaksin
59、, however,still enjoys widespread support, especially in the countryside. (50)Thaksins lawyer, Noppadol Patama, denied his clients involvement in the bombings, according to a local website. ASome believe the explosions were the work of Muslim separatists. BSome believe that several senior army offic
60、ers loyal to Thaksin plotted the bombings with ousted(趕下臺)politicians to discredit(敗壞名聲)the government. CThaksin was ousted in a military coup(政變)last September. DThe Thai Government has been unable to control the violence, though thousands of troops have been sent to the south. EThe embassy issued
