11、ities, they often suffer twicefirst from their combat injuries, next from the humiliation（羞辱）of government dependency.Wounded veterans（老兵）learn they have two basic choices: They can receive almost $ 3 ,000 a month in disability benefits along with medical care and access to other various welfare pro

12、grams, or they can try to find a job. Especially in this economy, its no wonder that many find that first option hard to turn down.Mark Duggan, an economics professor at Stanford University, reports that enrollment in the U. S. veterans disability programs rose from 2.3 million in 2001 to 3.9 millio

13、n in 2014. The percentage of veterans receiving benefits doubled, from 8.9% in 2001 to 18% in 2014. Disability services for veterans now consume $59 billion.In the 1980s and 1990s, male veterans were more likely to be in the labor force than nonveterans. But since 2000, that has changed dramatically

14、. Now there is a 4% gap between veteran and non-veteran labor participation, with veteran participation lower.Navy SEAL Eric Greitens, the founder of The Mission Continues, explains how soldiers who served their country are transformed into welfare receivers who live off their country.“When veterans

15、 come home from war they are going through a tremendous change in identity, ” he says. “Then the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and others, encourage them to view themselves as disabled.” By the time they come to Greitens non-profit organization, “We meet a number of veterans who see

16、themselves as charity cases and are not sure anymore what they have to contribute.”There are also more practical factors driving the disability boom. One is the expansion of qualification criteria. In 2000, for instance, type 2 diabetes was added as a disability because of evidence linking exposure

17、to Agent Orange with the onset of the disease. Heart disease has also been added to the list.Another possible factor is that younger veterans seem less against welfare than their parents generation. Veterans who have served since the 1990s are much more likely to sign up for disability than their ol

18、der counterparts; 1 in 4 younger veterans is on disability, versus just 1 in 7 of those over age 54.We shouldnt go back to the bad old days when veterans were afraid to admit weakness. But Lt. Col. Daniel Gade is one of many veterans who think our disability system is harmful, psychologically, to fo

19、rmer soldiers. Gade lost his leg in combat in 2005 and now teaches at West Point. He recently gave a talk to disabled veterans at Ft. Carson, in which he urged them to rejoin the workforce.“People who stay home because they are getting paid enough to get by on disability are worse off,” he warned. “

20、They are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. They are more likely to live alone.”What a waste of human potential, especially since most veterans on disability still have their prime working years ahead of them when theyre discharged（遣退）.We could solve this problem by changing the way we view-and

21、 label-veterans with disabilities. As Gade noted in a recent article, “Veterans should be viewed as resources, not as damaged goods.” He recommended that “efforts to help veterans should begin by recognizing their abilities rather than focusing only on then disabilities, and should serve the ultimat

22、e aim of moving wounded soldiers to real self-sufficiency.”O(jiān)n a more practical note, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs could reallocate（再分配）resources to spend more on job training and less on disability. Current placement programs are sadly inadequate.We are good at sending soldiers o

23、ff to war. Yet when these young men and women return home, they are essentially told, “Well give you enough for a reasonably comfortable life, but we wont help you find a job.”It is unreasonable that we are condemning thousands of young veterans who served their country to life on the dole（失業(yè)救濟金）rat

24、her than enabling them to re-enter the workforce with the necessary accommodations.1、What do more and more wounded veterans appear to do nowadays?ADepend on the government for a living.BBe treated badly in most workplaces.CAsk the government for more dole.DSpend more time on job hunting.2、How does M

28、 Below are some animals whose numbers have been rapidly dropping in recent years.Panda BearOne of the biggest reasons contributing to the decline in the panda species is the destruction of its natural habitat. Farmers in China have gradually been claiming more and more of the land. As a result, pand

29、as are forced to move away to places where it is hard to find bamboo for food.Green TurtleThe green sea turtle species has survived for several millions of years, so you might wonder why its only becoming endangered now. A major cause is the change in climate and temperature, which both affect the h

30、atching rates of turtle eggs. Climate changes also cause violent weather and rising water levels to flood areas where turtles usually go to lay their eggs. Apart from this, oil spills and other poisonous pollution, as well as increased fishing activities can cause sickness, or even death to the gree

31、n turtles.CheetahCheetahs are famous for being the fastest animal on land but even they cant run from some of the larger threats that have harmed them. Like the panda bears, cheetahs have gradually been losing their natural homes due to humans claiming land and developing in those areas. To make mat

32、ters even worse, smaller animals move away when these areas are occupied, which means that the cheetah has less food! Dont forget that other large animals, such as lions, are also fighting for any food that they can find, so occasionally young cheetahs end up as prey too.Indian ElephantElephants are

33、 extremely intelligent animals and also the largest mammals that live on land. Sadly, in Asia many elephants were killed so that people could remove their tusks to use as decorative objects. While this practice has been banned now, some people still illegally continue. Forests in India have also bee

34、n steadily destroyed and elephants are sometimes killed when they end up on human territory.1、Humans increasing demand for land doesnt affect the number of _.AIndian elephants BcheetahsCpanda bears Dgreen turtles2、We can save the largest mammals living on land by _.Aplanting more bamboosBhelping the

36、usks23（8分）What can be better than a sweet treat with health benefits? As it happens, our favourite February food, chocolate, has a few shinning characteristics. It comes from the Theobroma cacao tree (food for the Gods), from a bean that grows on that tropical tree. Chocolate originated in Mexico an

37、d Central and South America, but West Africa now produces most of the worlds cocoa. Look for fair trade chocolate that meets environmental and labour standards at natural foods markets in Kitsilano and the West End, at Karmavore in New Westminster and at Natures Fare Markets throughout the province.

38、Dark or semisweet chocolate is typically a vegan(素食) product. Because chocolate contains antioxidants（抗氧化劑） that prevent the oxidation （氧化）of LDL (bad) cholesterol（膽固醇）, it has gained a reputation of being beneficial for our heart health. Eaten in an appropriate amount, chocolate may lower blood pre

39、ssure.Chocolate is also a source of iron a “precious metal” when it comes to human health. As part of red blood cells, iron plays a central role in transporting oxygen to the body and carrying away the waste product carbon dioxide. Each day, we lose tiny amounts of iron in cells that are missing fro

40、m skin and the inner lining of the intestine(腸壁). If our intake is not enough to replace our losses, a tired feeling and sensitivity to cold may develop. With further consuming, people feel exhausted, chilly and even headaches; the skin may appear pale. Since iron absence is such an obvious conditio

41、n and easily diagnosed, if you have any doubts about your iron level, have a lab test done.We are good at recycling iron, however, losses must be replaced. Two of the Chocolate Butter Balls in the recipe(食譜) below will provide one quarter of the recommended intake of eight mg iron for the day.1、Whic

42、h region produces most of the worlds cocoa now?AMexico BCentral AmericaCSouth America DWest Africa2、Why is chocolate beneficial for our heart health?AIt contains antioxidants BIt comes from the cacao tree.CIt originates in Mexico. DIt is a sweet treat.3、What does “chilly” in the third paragraph mean

43、?Aeasy to be angry Bhaving a feverCsensitive to cold Dfeeling tired4、From which is the text probably taken?AA biology textbook. BA health magazine.CA research paper. DA travel brochure.24（8分） These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint. In order to reduce global warming,

44、we need to make our carbon footprints smaller. But how much CO are we responsible for?A new book by Mike Berners-Lee (a leading expert in carbon foot-printing) might be able to help. The Carbon Foot print of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of CO2 the

45、y produce, including the ingredients, the electricity, the equipment, the transport and the packaging. And its frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink. From Berners-Lees calculations, its clear that a pint (568 ml) of locally-bre

46、wed (釀制的) beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer. This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging. The local beer only produces 300 g of CO2-but the imported beer produces 900 g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the

47、 environment than three cans of cheap foreign beer from the supermarket.Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work. Nothing is more environmentally - friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it depends on what youve had to eat before. To ride a bike we need energy and

48、for energy we need food. So, if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65 g of CO2. However, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, its 200 g. In fact, bananas are good in general because they dont need packaging. They can be transported by boat and they grow in natura

49、l sunlight.So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not. If you cycle, you don t use your car; and the fewer cars on the road, the fewer traffic jams. And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars travelling at speed. Cycling also makes you healthy and

50、 less likely to go to a hospital. And hospitals have very big carbon footprints!So, maybe its time for us all to start making some changes. Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer, please.1、Which of the followings produces the smallest carbon footprints?AA pint of local beer.BA bottle of imported

51、beer.CA banana before a 1.5 km bike ride.DBacon before a 1.5 km bike ride.2、According to the article, the author suggests choosing the local food because it is _.Amore tastyBeasier to buyCbetter packagedDmore energy-saving3、The purpose of writing this article is to _.Apromote a new bookBadvertise th

His good grades made him eligible for an unusual competitio

53、n: A free-throw contest in the Compton High gymnasium. The top prize: 40,000 in scholarship money.Guei, whose parents immigrated to the United States from the Ivory Coast, knew how much that financial aid could mean for his family. He was also feeling a fair share of pressure as students and teacher

54、s crushed into the gym to watch Guei and seven other randomly compete against each other.Guei won the free-throw contest by one basket and netted the 40,000. But its what he did next thats truly astonishing.In the weeks following the March free-throw competition, Guei learned that hed scored a full-

55、ride basketball scholarship to California State University-Northridge. NCAA(全國大學生體育協(xié)會)rules allowed Guei to accept the athletic scholarship and also keep most of the 40,000 he had won.But Guei couldnt stop thinking about the seven talented runners-up from the free-throw contest. They, too, had dream

56、s and very real needs. So, he asked Principal Jesse Jones to make a surprise announcement at Compton Highs graduation ceremony: Geui wanted to donate the 40,000 to the other seven students.“Ive already been blessed so much and I know were living with a bad economy, so I know this money can really he

57、lp my classmates,” Guei said in a statement. “It was the right decision.”Guei elaborated on his decision to give the money away in an interview with ESPN(體育電視網(wǎng)): “I was already well taken care of to go to school, to go to university for free.I felt like they needed it more than I did.”1、While studyi
