　　Part ⅠWriting

　　Do We Have Our Privacy?

　　When it comes to the sensitive issue of privacy, different people may have different opinions. Teenagers and young adults are often heard complaining that their own privacy has been infringed by parents and teachers, with their diaries pried into, their calls overheard, or their personal letters opened in their absence. In other words, their privacy is not duly respected by the adult world.

　　However, parents and teachers think otherwise. In their eyes, children and young students will never be old enough to mind their own business. As the members of the older generation, they should ensure that the younger generation grow up and prosper in a favorable climate. It is a responsibility from which they ought not to escape. Equipped with this mentality, teachers and parents are inclined to interfere in the privacy of the adolescent.

　　As far as I am concerned, there is something on both sides. Sure enough, everyone has his or her privacy to a certain extent, and there is no exception with children and young people. But we can not go too far on this issue and regard everything as part of the inviolable privacy. On the other hand, parents and teachers have the right to know us on the basis of respect for our reasonable privacy.

　　Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

　　1. N 根據文章第一段中的overexploits the world’s resources(過度開發(fā)世界上的資源)和 beyond our ecological means(超出我們的生態(tài)承受力)可判斷本說法與原文不符。

　　2. Y 根據句意定位到原文第三段，其內容大致是說一個經濟學基金會根據每個學術團體的研究成果計算出“人類即將吞噬地球”的日期是10月9日，由此斷定本題表述與原文相符。

　　3. NG 本題指出環(huán)保人士針對自然資源的利用與人們生活水平的提高二者之間的關系做了大量的研究，而原文第四段只是說他們發(fā)出了警告，根本沒有說到研究，因此本題答案為NG(沒有提及)。

　　4. Y 根據原文第五段內容可以看出過度消耗自然資源會引發(fā)一系列的問題，如氣候變化，森林被毀，農業(yè)產量下降等等，因此本題內容與原文所說相符。

　　5. Hurricane Katrina 本題是細節(jié)題，涉及文章中的一個例子，根據devastated，New Orleans這幾個詞可定位于文章第七段第二句的后半部分“…such as Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in August year, are being attributed to global climate.”由此可確定答案。

　　6. 23 percent 本題是細節(jié)題，涉及地球的資源和人類的過度使用，根據Global Footprint，overusing，the Earth’s resources 和by等線索定位于文章第九段第一句“Global Footprint estimates that the human race is overusing the Earth’s resources by 23 percent.”由此可確定答案。

　　7. the limit of the Earth’s endurance 本題是細節(jié)理解題，應當根據人名和關鍵詞搜尋，答案依據在第十段。

　　8. 19 December，1987 本題是細節(jié)理解題，涉及可維持性和時間，根據這兩個因素和人名搜尋,可確定答案依據為第十二段第二句“Humanity started living beyond its means on a global lever in 1987.”
