In the book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable（可持续性） Living, New Zealand-based architects Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological 41 as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter limousine. Calculating that modern house pet 42 through about 164 kg of meat and 95 kg of cereals a year, the Vales estimated the ecological footprint of cats and dogs, based on the amount of land needed to grow pet food. “There are no recipes in the book,” Robert Vale said, 43 , in a telephone interview. “We’re not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We’re just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.” With pets’ diets under the control of owners, how can their unsustainable appetites be cut down? Changing their diets into 44 ones, the Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping “greener”, smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish, chickens or rabbits. The book’s playful title, and 45 suggestion that pet animals may be usefully “recycled”, by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not 46 to animal fans. Annoying as the idea may be, the question 47 from the planet’s growing population and limited resources, Robert Vale said. “Resources issues are 48 becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. It’s not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket,” he said. “It’s about much more challenging and difficult issues,” he added. “Once you see cats and dogs fit in your overall 49 of things —— you might decide to have the cat but also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself.” III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. People often fall ill because of me. However, they can hardly blame me; it is largely their own 50 . A tired person may get caught, especially when he goes to crowded places with polluted air. A sudden change in 51 is another factor. In hot summer, people turn on the air-conditioner upon returning home. They will catch a cold easily. My latest victim is an energetic student. After school, he played football hard for two hours. Though 52 , he still went to the cinema. Then he got back home and took a cold shower immediately. I seized this golden chance to 53 him.

Yes, it’s Top of the Pops! Top of the Pops is an amazing 34 years old. Pop stars from all over the world appear on this successful TV programme. After 1,800 shows, it’s still the most popular pop music show in Britain. So what’s the secret? “We get lots of bands to perform live in the studio,” says producer Chris Cowey. “That just doesn’t happen on other shows.” Chris starts planning the programme over a week before it goes out. His first job is to decide which bands to have on the show. When the chart of the top twenty songs is produced on Sunday, Chris can start to book the bands. Monday starts with Chris meeting his sound, lighting and camera workers. They listen to each song and plan the show. Tuesday is paperwork day. There are bookings to make sure of letters to answer and lots of phone calls to make. The show is on Thursday. Bands arrive at the studio from 10 o’clock in the morning and start practising. Tonight’s presenter, Jo Whiley, practices too. First the bands go to make up. Judy and Issy are the make-up artists. “We see the stars with no make-up on, looking terrible,” says Issy. Then the bands go to the costume department where Marianne dresses the stars. Back in the studio things are happening. The audience are practicing their dance moves! It takes over two hours to record the whole programme, then Chris edits it all night long. The final version is exactly 29 minutes long. 68.

And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. Half a century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear. The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other? These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years —— but unless we meet the truant officer （学监） , we may well think that we should go to school due to social customs and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working” , but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes（构成） “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law —— as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess. 72. By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be.” in Paragraph 1, the writer means that __________. A. work time is equal to rest time B. many people have a day off on Monday C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear 73. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people __________. A. fail to make full use of their time B. enjoy working overtime for extra pay C. are unaware of the law of time D. welcome flexible working hours 74. According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they __________. A. need to acquire knowledge B. have to obey their parents C. need to find companions D. have to observe the law 75. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Our life is governed by the law of time. B. How to organize time is not worth debating. C. New ways of using time change our society. D. Our time schedule is decided by social customs. Section C Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. 76. The weather forecast, a story about the candidates in an election, and movie reviews are examples of messages from the media. A communication medium, of which the plural form is media, is a means of communicating a message. Examples of media are television, radio, newspapers and books and the telephone. The media that can reach many people at once are called mass media. 77. It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media. Every day we get hundreds of them. Think about advertisements, for example. We see and hear these messages almost everywhere we go. Advertisements are important messages, even though they are sometimes annoying. They help us compare and evaluate products. 78. Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom. Think, for a moment, about how you learn about local news and events. Do you depend on other people or the media? What about international news? What is the most important source of information for you? People who are asked this question usually answer, “Television.” 79. Think of all the messages you received today. Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you read advertisements on billboards on your way to school. Did you listen to a weather forecast or the sports news on the radio this morning? Right now you are getting information through a very important medium of mass communication —— a book. 80. We use the information we get from radio, television, newspapers, and other media to make decisions and form opinions. That is why the mass media are so important. Editorials and articles in newspapers help us decide how to vote, consumer reports on television help us decide how to spend our money, and international news on the radio makes us think and form opinions about questions of war and peace. Section D Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the possible fewest words. It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of mode
