B A small town in southwest Britain is banning plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut wastea step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.Last month, San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine panies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty (宽限期）, allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response in the town so far had been really positive.“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking told Sky News Television.The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.24. What was Rebecca Hosking?A. A photographer. B. An environmentalist.C. A sailor.D. A lawyer.25. The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probably means _. .A. acceptableB. valuableC. long-lastingD. throw-away26. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bagsB. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the worldC. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world.D. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags27. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Environmental ProtectionB. Big Cities Banning Plastic BagsC. Effect of Plastic Fags on Sea AnimalsD. British Town Banning Plastic Bags C When The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the xx Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6, it said: “Not Bob Dylan. Thats for sure.”But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition, according to the organization.Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary（文学的）writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it es to his folk songs.In his 1985 album Biography, Dylan wrote about the appeal(魅力) of folk music to him. Rock songs “werent serious enough or didnt reflect（反映） life in a realistic way, according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy much deeper feelings.Dylans music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is most famously expressed in Dylans The Times They Are a-Changin (1964), which warns the world, “Youd better start swimming or youll sink（下沉） like a stone. For the times they are a-changin!”There were plaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. But ancient “Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments - and its the same way with Dylan ,the Swedish Academys permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN. It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylans words and music have changed will surely wele the award.28. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article?A. He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.B. All of his influential works were created in the 1960s.C .His songs expressed peoples feelings well during the 1960s.D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements.29. According to the last two paragraphs, _.A .lyrics can be seen as a literary formB. a literary prize should not be given to a singerC. Dylans works were inspired by Greek poetsD .Dylan won the award because he influenced many song-writers30. Dylan found folk music attractive because_.A. it brought joy to peopleB. it reflected life on a much deeper level C. it could be used to express feelings freelyD. it needed more creativity than other types of music31. Whats the authors attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the xx Nobel Prize in literature?A. Unconcerned. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. D When we know somewhere well, we say we “know it like the back of our hand”. But new research has shown that we dont actually know as much about our hands as we think we do.Wider and shorterProfessor Matthew Longo at the University of London and his team did an experiment, covering the left hands of 100 people. Then they asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指关节）were. They made some quite big mistakes.“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. The fingers also seem shorter than they are. This mistake gets worse as you go across the hand from the thumb to the little finger. Sense of positionIt is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of our bodies are, even when we cant see them. “It tells us whether a joint is straight or not he said. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All this information es from signs from nerves in real time. Its like our brain has maps - maps that show the size and shape of our body. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” said Longo.Strength(强度) of feelingBut these maps make mistakes. These mistakes may be made because of how the brain understands different parts of the skin. “Our brains see areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” said Longo. Body parts dont appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips, for example, have more nerves than our nose. So brain “sees” lips on its map of the body as being bigger than our nose. The same thing happens for other parts of the body that have lots of nerves.Longo believes that more research in this area may help us to understand eating problem better, because people suffering from these problems may not know their bodies properly.32. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The new experiment. B. The location information.C. The mistake people made. D. The sizes of fingers and hands.33. Which of following statement is TRUE about the experiment according to the article?A. People think their body parts are larger than they actually are.B. People made more mistakes about their little fingers length than their thumbs length.C .Peoples fingers are actually shorter than they think.D. People were asked to draw their hands from memory34. We can learn from the article that_.A. the maps of peoples bodies form before they are bornB. the maps of our body are based on information from nervesC. our sense of position tells how different parts of the body work.D. how we feel about our body shape is only decided by our sense of position35. We can infer from the article that_.A. the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers doB. our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our noseC. there are more nerves in the finger than in the handD. our sense of position should not be trusted because it is too often incorrect第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Losing weight is tough.
