A Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat a nd others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them. 2011 年蚌埠市普通高中自主招生考试（英语试题）第 2 页共 7 页Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源） , we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. In our everyday life, we can do many things to stop waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps（水龙头） when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little,.everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. 36． From the passage we know that some students often in the school.

A. students live a happy school life B. waste should be stopped in t he school C. students should study harder in the school D. China is rich in some resources B The wedding（婚礼）between Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29 is on everyone’s lips now. A common girl is marrying a prince and living in a palace as a princess（公主）. Queen Elizabeth II as well as her family has made full preparations for the wedding. The.wedding menus are secret, but it has been told that the wedding party will include two cakes: a traditional fruit cake as the wedding cake and a chocolate cake preferred by Prince William. Kate and William have chosen two choirs（唱诗班） , an orchestra, and other musical groups for the wedding at Westminster Abbey. UK Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife have been invited to the wedding, but US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have not. Among the 1,900 guests are football star David Beckham and his wife who could probably make William and Kate seem less important. Kate is keeping silent about her wedding dress. But William is very likely to wear a military uniform（军装） for the wedding. The wedding day has been made an official public holiday in Britain and the whole world will watch it on the big day. 41． The underlined words “on everyone’s lips”probably means .

Here are six ways for you to find more pleasure in your life. Play that song you love so much. As we all know, repetition can lead to pleasure. When you experience something more than once, you notice more information about it each time, and it increases your enjoyment. That’s why you love revisiting that jazz club, the favorite restaurant, and the old Woody Allen movie. Of course, you can’t overdo it. Don’t buy boxed sets of DVDs. Economist（经济学家）Tyler says that much of the joy we get from buying things lies in the experience of choosing them, getting them.home, and opening them up. If you receive 18 DVDs in one package, you’ll use up the excitement all at once. Buy things one at a time and pleasure follows. Look outside. Our ancestors spent almost all of their time outside with trees, water, and sky around. The world in which most of us spend our time nowadays is unnatural and can harm the spirit. Getting close to nature makes you happy. . Staying with animals works wonders. You can pet an animal. It increases the brain chemicals connected with pleasure and decreases those connected with stress. People can get some of the effect by hanging out for a few minutes with pets. Smile. Well, like it or not, smiling improves your mood（心情）. Here’s why: when you look happy, people do better to you, which in turn leads you to be happy. What’s more, looking happy fools your brain into thinking that you are happy. 46．According to the writer, buying things one at a time can . A. help us save some money B. spare time for other activities C. increase our experience of happiness D. give us more time to consider buying things 47．What’s the best title for Paragraph 5? A. Pet an animal B. Exercise the brain C. Decrease work stress D. Hang out more often 48．What.does the underlined word “decrease”in Paragraph 5 mean?A.提高B. 聚积C. 排除D. 减少49．Which of the following is right? A. Smiles fool others’mood.B.Repetition results in pleasure.C. Animals add to your stress.D. Spending time outside harms your spirit. 50． What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? A. The effect of pleasure on life. B. The writer’s own experience. C. Another way to find pleasure. D. Reasons for finding more pleasure.D Have you ever heard an echo（回声）o f your voice? An echo is a reflected（反射） sound. Stand in a very large, empty hall with nothing on the walls. Then shout. The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. These reflected sounds are called "echoes". We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a watch about 50cm from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way in all directions. It does not travel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard. Make the roll of cardboard about 50cm long. Put one end over your ear and hold the watch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone in all.directions. It is reflected down the roll to your ear. A megaphone（喇叭筒）works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound into a beam（光束）which can travel a long way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice travel. 2011 年蚌埠市普通高中自主招生考试（英语试题）第 4 页共 7 页Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far. We use reflected sound in many ways. We use it to measure the depth of the sea, for example. Among the animals, bats（蝙蝠）and whales use reflected sound to tell them where they are and what things are near them. 51．What is called an “echo”? A. Very loud voices that are made by man. B. Very loud voices that are made by animals. C. The sound that comes from the walls. D. The sound that is made by man or animals comes back from some place. 52． We can hear our echoes if we shout . A. in a small room B. in the open air C. in narrow valleys（山谷） D. in a large house full of things 53．Which is the right order of hearing our echo in a very large, empty hall? . a.

A. bats use reflected sound to fly and get food B. people haven't made use of reflected sound yet C. reflected sound is useful only to blind people D. whales don't use reflected sound as they live in the sea 55．If you haven't got a megaphone, will help you to make your voice travel farther.
