In China, people usually set off firecrackers to celebrate the Spring Festival. But this year seemed very quiet. It was really different. A man called Zhang Wei was asked by a reporter in an interview. He said that his friends and he hadn’t set off a single firecracker.
“We all suffered from last month’s smog (雾霾). If we don’t call an end to the firecracker, the environment will get worse and worse during the holiday.” said Zhang Wei. He put up a notice in his community in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province. In the notice, he called on more people to set off fewer firecrackers during this year’s Spring Festival holiday.

You’re rushing to work and a man ahead of you falls down on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people neglect their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.
“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping:
● Why should I be the one? I’m probably not the most competent (能干的) person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.
● What if he doesn’t really need my help? The fear of embarrassment (窘迫) is powerful, no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.
● No one else looks concerned-this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us- but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.
“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people, you don’t have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes it’s just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, ‘It looks like we should do something,’ or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.”
44. Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?
A. I’m not the very person capable of setting the problem. B. It looks like we should do something.
C. It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned. D. He doesn’t really need my help.
45. According to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down
on the sidewalk?
A. They will call for help and then walk away. B. They will stop and offer help.
C. They will turn away their eyes and go on walking. D. They will laugh at him.
46. We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble, .
A. we should call the ambulance as soon as we can.
B. we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone
C. we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow D. we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility 47. In order to offer others your timely help, you need to .
A. ask others for help and call the police
《英语》 第 6 页 共 10 页
B. get along well with the passers-by who spot the trouble C. go directly to the police station
D. work against the first thoughts that prevent you offering help 48. The main purpose of the text is to tell readers .
A. to give others a hand B. to be more competent C. not to risk looking foolish D. to stop and evaluate the situation
C
“When I grow up, I want to be...” Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your great wishes may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. In a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011, medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most respectable members of society, and they make good money. Joining these professions is a sign of upward social mobility.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Young men worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators (指标) of a successful career.
However, not every child wants to become a doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see happiness in other areas. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of jobs--coffee shop owner, gourmet (美食家), waiter at a fast food restaurant--are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
Every choice comes with responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training. You have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills. 49. What is the passage mainly about? A. Teenagers in the UK like doctors.
B. Choosing a good job is very important. C. Careers in teenagers’ mind.
D. The choice of career needs challenge.
50. According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor
except . A. respect from others B. upward social mobility C. high pay D. the oldest profession 51. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It is amazing that banking is now one of the popular career choices.

B. Teenagers think little of being a coffee shop owner or gourmet. C. Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
D. Whatever career you choose, you should balance optimism and confidence with being
realistic about your particular talents and skills.
52. However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste.
D
The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). After immigrating (移民) from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.
The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded, but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive, though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression (萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside, far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit--Howard suggested 32,000 people, then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit, within it, each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.
53. How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities? A. Through his observation of the country life.
B. Through the combination of different ideas. C. By taking other people’s advice.
D. By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.
54. The underlined phrase “drawing on” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A. making use of B. making comments on C. giving an explanation of D. giving a description of

55. According to Howard, garden cities should be built . A. as far as possible from existing cities
B. in the countryside where the land was cheap
C. in the countryside where agriculture was developed
D. near cities where employment opportunities already existed 56. What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?
A. Their number would continue to rise.
B. Each one would continue to become larger. C. People would live and work in the same place. D. Each one would contain a certain type of business. 57. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. City and Countryside B. The Invention of the Garden City C. A New City in Chicago D. A Famous Garden City in England
58. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit--Howard
suggested 32,000 people.
