第二部分:阅读理解(共两节;每小题2分)

第一节（共10小题；每小题2分）阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Everybody has had at least one experience from which he knows the meaning of life. This time, which took place several years ago, seems as if it just happened.

On an afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's dress and picked out a beautiful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion." he said. I guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral (葬礼) of my sister, after her unexpected death.

He took the skirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."

I'm thinking about his words, and they've changed the way I live my life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. "Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their importance on my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now.

Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold hack or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives. Every morning when I open my eyes.1 tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life.

36. Why did Jan buy the beautiful skirt but didn't wear it?

A. She waited for a special occasion to wear it on.

B. She wanted to keep it for someone else.

C. She saved it till she grew up.

D. She would give it to herself as a gift some day.

37. What does the underlined word "cherish" mean?

A. Treasure B. Waste C. Own. D. Save.

The consumer(消费者) plays a very important role in the global efforts to reduce C02 emissions(排放). Households use one third of the final energy and produce around two thirds of city waste in the European Union. Besides，housing, food，and private transport make up almost 80％ of environmental pressures. Therefore there’s no doubt that consumers can make a real difference in fighting climate change．

To direct consumers towards more environmentally-friendly decisions，we need clear and simple instructions to guide consumption behavior. Actually, two thirds of consumers find it hard to figure out which products are better for the environment, for 58% Europeans think that many businesses just pretend to be green so as to charge higher prices. Thus industry should work
