Teenagers dodge security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from Britains cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls, such as the Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely. The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard. Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those menand almost all are menare now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoona slightly healthier alternative to sitting and watching football. 1.Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on trains and buses. F2.Less tags can be found in public places nowadays. T3.Because of better policing graffiti decreases. T4.Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls. F5.Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks.F 选择题（每题10分）Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life. Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team. In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests. People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.” 1.

With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonalds is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonalds, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.Thats not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonalds in India doesnt serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans. Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonalds as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonalds under construction to protest globalization and “bad food.” The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonalds, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonalds is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization. 1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? BA. McDonalds was founded in 1948.B. McDonalds has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonalds has over 30,000 locations in the world now. 2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean CA. very crowded B. very cleanC. existing everywhere 3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that AA. McDonalds designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonaldsC. the McDonalds menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big Mac 4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonalds? AA. They destroyed a McDonalds under construction.B. They protested outside a McDonalds.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonalds. 5. In C, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonalds restaurant in France. A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000选择题（每题10分）正误判断题 Ive been living in the country for more than 10 years. It means quietness, privacy, harmony and peace for me. Living in the country requires an active lifestyle. It involves activities like doing daily chores, preparing firewood for winter heating, feeding animals including pets and livestock, tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For me, the most attractive activities are fishing, hunting and hiking. I enjoy seeing what nature has to offer everyday through a simple walk down the little trail, or a relaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grass ornamented with wildlife sightings of birds, moose, bears, deer, etc. Living the country life helps us appreciate some of the simpler things, things that make us feel good about ourselves and the world. It may be just a get together on a Saturday at the local farmers market, or a project or a problem that the community might pull together to help solve. I have participated in a few community projects, like dealing with out-of-control grass fires, a roof that collapsed from a large snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with fire wood for the winter. Sometimes I am surprised by how much benefit we receive from helping others and as for this community I cant say enough. I really enjoy living the country life. I know its not for everyone, but I know its for me. 1. The author has lived in the countryside for more than a decade, and he/she loves living there. T 2. Living in the country is not busy at all. F 3. The author takes a walk or drives along country roads almost every day. T 4. People living in the country usually go shopping every Saturday. T 5.

That is really a great advice.Peter: Molly, look at this. The newspaper says we should sort trash. Molly: That would be great! I always hate it when people mixing all the trash together.Peter: E Many communities have already done that.Molly: Yeah. The benefits of sorting out trash are obvious.Peter: For instance?Molly: If trash is sorted, it can be transferred to factories instead of the disposal plant. Peter: That makes sense. BMolly: With trash separated, pollution caused by incineration can be avoided. Peter: It is high time for us to sort out the trash. Trash is trash only when everything is mixed together. C they can be useful again. Molly: A Things like paper, glass, and plastics can all be recycled. They can be reused.Peter: Sorting is good. D If people have no idea how to sort their trash, they will still put all waste in the same bag.Molly: You are right. People should be informed about how to do that in the first place. Moreover, sorting trash should be made easy for us. Otherwise, few people would bother to do it.Peter: I hope everything goes smoothly!Molly: I believe it will.单元自测3一、选择填空，从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项。（每题10分）题目1-These are certainly beautiful flowers.
