A
For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth's natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside.
Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution. People began to notice the problem in the early 1970s. When builders began making houses and offices, they did not want to waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also used man-made building materials which are now known to let out harmful gases.
As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building green plants.
Scientists believe that a plant's leaves absorb the pollutants (污染物). In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants.

As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, \"Not to be touched!\" I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had
wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner. \"I, uh-I wanna climb the stone walls,\" I said. Everyone looked up. \"Can I climb the stone walls? \"Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. \"Heavens, no!\" You'll hurt yourself!\" I wasn't too disappointed; the response was just as I'd expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather's loud voice. \"Now hold on just a minute,\" I heard him say. \"Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.\" \"Go,\" he said to me, \"and come and see me when you get back.\" For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls -and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I'll never forget what he said. \"Fred,\" he said, smiling, \"You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.\" Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. \"There's only one person in this whole world like you,\" the kids can count on hearing me say, \"and people can like you exactly as you are. \"

Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please?” To this question
you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!
However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language. 71. Which one of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions? A. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”
B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school. The library is right in front of you.” C. “The post office is about five minutes from here.” D. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”
72. People in Los Angeles don’t give directions in miles because ______. A. they use landmarks in their directions instead of distance B. they prefer to lead you the way
C. they often have no idea of distance measured by miles D. they prefer to use body language 73. Greeks give directions by ______. A. using street names B. using landmarks C. leading people the way D. giving people a wrong direction 74. Where is Yucatan?
A. In the USA. B. In Japan. C. In Greece. D. In Mexico. 75. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. People in Yucatan always give right directions.
B. There are different ways to give directions in different parts of the world.
C. People in some places give directions in miles, but people in other places give directions in time. D. A person’s body language can help you understand directions.

第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 任务型读写(共10小题; 每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Shopping in the United States is always a pleasant experience. There are different types of shops that operate to cater to your different needs. To buy groceries, you can go to the convenience store, the supermarket or the mass merchandiser (such as Wal Mart). To buy some clothes and big-ticket items, you can go to the mall or factory outlets.
Every grocery store has promotions on different kinds of products every week. Usually you can find a store weekly newspaper with featured promotions for that particular week. I am a bargain hunter, forward buying a lot of daily products if I feel I need them in the future. Once, I saw a featured promotion on Pantene 2 in 1 shampoo plus conditioner (护发剂). Although I did not need it at that time,
I felt it was a great deal. So I decided to buy 2 bottles. However, I could not find any such Pantene on the shelf. I went to a sales clerk and asked if he could find any for me. He told me that the store was out of stock and it would not have any in until the next week. The unfortunate thing was that by then the promotion would be over. However, the clerk told me that I could go to the customer service counter and I would be given a rain check, which would guarantee the promotion price for me on that particular item.
A shopping mall in the States is composed of many individual specialty shops and nationwide chain stores, such as Sears and JC Penny. What impresses me most when shopping at the mall is its return policy. No matter what you buy, shoes, pants or big ticket items such as TV and VCR, if you find some problems with them or simply do not like them any longer, you can return them within 30 days. You won't be challenged at the customer service counter as long as you have your receipt. Of course there are some people who might take advantage of this return policy, especially when they need something for a momentary use. That's why you can always find a long line of people waiting to return their goods right after Christmas.
