注意：每空不超过3个单词。      What is eco-fashion? Eco-fashion is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the term covers
two aspects of fashion-"ecological" and "ethical" (伦理的). Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (织
物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues (议题) surrounding them; ethical
fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes.
     What are the problems with fashion? Firstly, the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily.
Cotton-planting uses pesticides; sheep-farming and wool-cleaning contribute to global warming; synthetics-
making (人造纤维生产) brings about harmful waste. Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a
significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy, and some also involve harmful
chemicals. In addition to this, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of
polluted water. Thirdly, growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects.
We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural
environment, and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.
     Then, how to solve the problems? To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power
and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce
their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting
sustainable (可持续使用的) materials and choosing local suppliers, to recycle and minimize waste. On the
other hand, as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and
reducing clothing consumption.
     Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food
free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our personal health. In fact,
choosing eco-fashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping
the health of the planet.

阅读理解。     In today"s throw-away society, dealing with the city"s growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge
for the city council (市议会).
     Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250,000 million tons of waste
a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner-largely through encouraging recycling-
its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.
     The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be
disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian, Midlothian and Borders) face fines
around ￡18 million a year from 2013 if they don"t increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this
in mind, the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half
of the waste produced in their districts. But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK
government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city"s waste should be disposed of in
this way by 2025.
     After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city"s
waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge
waste site near Portobello.
     Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh
Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it down-after 700 local objections reached them-because
it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.
     That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013, only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to
be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targets are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.
Due to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant
as time to find a solution is fast running out. 1. The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is _____. A. recycling
B. restoring
C. burying
D. burning 2. The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to _____. A. reduce the cost of burying waste
B. meet the EU requirements
C. speed up waste recycling
D. replace landfill sites 3. The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because
    _____. A. it came from a private company
B. the council was not interested in it
C. it was not supported by EU
D. the local people were against it 4. What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian Councils? A. To open a new landfill nearby.
B. To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.
C. To set up a plan for burning waste.
D. To persuade people to deduce their waste.

According to the US government, wind farms off the
Pacific coast could produce 900 gig watts of electricity
every year. Unfortunately, the water there is far too deep
for even the tallest windmills (see picture) to touch bottom.
An experiment under way off the coast of Norway, however,
could help put them anywhere.

You may be surprised to learn that one of the best steps you can take to protect your health is to step outside and spend some time in the grass, dirt and water. Our ancestors enjoyed the healing power of nature, and now scientists are starting to catch up. According to research in recent years, just having a view of nature has been shown to improve hospital patients" recovery and reduce illness rates among office workers. Also, exposure (曝露) to wildlife, horseback riding, hiking, camping and farms can be helpful for a variety of health conditions in adults and children. Much of this type of research is focusing on children, and in fact an entire movement has quickly developed to connect kids with the healing power of nature. Obesity (肥胖). Rates of childhood obesity have grown sharply in recent years, and this is partly because of reduced outdoor activity time. Increasing the time students spend learning about nature, both in and outside the classroom, would help solve this problem. Such lessons are often more attractive for students and often lead them to become more active outside. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (注意力缺失症). Exposure to ordinary natural settings (环境) in the course of common after-school and weekend activities may be effective in reducing attention deficit symptoms in children. Participation in green activities-such as nature walks-helped ADHD patients from a wide range of backgrounds to stay focused and complete tasks. Stress. Access to nature, even houseplants, can help children cope with stress. Depression and seasonal emotional disorder. Major depression requires medical treatment, but physical activity, especially outdoors, can help ease symptoms. For your average case of winter blues, experts suggest spending time outside every day and, if possible, taking the family to a sunny vacation spot in mid-winter. Experts emphasize that you needn"t go to wilderness preserves to enjoy nature"s benefits-simply walking in a city park or growing in a rooftop garden can make a difference.
1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that _____.
A. ancient people were not familiar with the healing power of nature B. modern people are not familiar with the healing power of nature C. the healing power of nature works better on children D. the healing power of nature works better on office workers
2. According to Para 4, lessons about nature _____.
A. should engage parents in them B. should take place outdoors C. are used widely at schools D. are liked by students
3. Exposure to green areas in neighborhoods can _____.
A. improve children"s skills at learning B. help reduce ADHD symptoms C. treat major depression D. cure winter blues
4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. You can only enjoy nature"s benefits in the wilderness. B. A common natural setting is beneficial to your health. C. A city park and a rooftop garden have different benefits. D. Too many people in the wilderness will reduce the benefits of nature.

Nuclear energy is a controversial topic. There has been widespread public debate over it. It seems that the nuclear energy is either a gigantic disaster waiting to happen or the all-powerful way of the future. It is often believed that unclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society with a huge demand for commercial products of all kinds. Besides, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase assumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe nuclear energy provides an endless and economical source of power and that it is therefore fundamental for an industrially developing society. Among other advantages is that unclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents a great step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, opponents (people who oppose something)of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct danger not only to the environment but also to civil liberties. Environmentalists argue in the long run nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the ecology to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human race. Furthermore, it is questionable whether unclear power is a cheap source of energy when everything is considered. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America, in Britain and, of course, in Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium (铀) in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market. In spite of the case against nuclear energy above, nuclear energy programmes are expanding, which assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments in both sides, it seems that there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.
1. What"s the writer"s attitude toward nuclear energy?
A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Tolerant. D. Appreciative.
2. According to the opponents, which of the following is true of nuclear energy?
A. Primitive. B. Endless. C. Cheap. D. Unsafe.
3. Some people believe that nuclear energy is the most important because _____.
A. nuclear power stations can be run and maintained by relatively few staff B. it can meet the growing demand of an industrially developing society C. it represents a huge step forward in our scientific evolution D. it provides a perfect way out to increase employment
4. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
