More ice melted from the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet this year than ever before recorded, report scientists from the University of Colorado. The same team found that the extent of Arctic sea ice reached the lowest level in the satellite record in 2002, offering further proof that climate change is already changing the Arctic.

Researchers from the University of Colorado(UC)say that the speeding up melting appears to be linked to changes in Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation patterns. The study also found temperatures during the summer of 2002 were warmer than usual over much of the Arctic Ocean.

"It is likely that sea ice extent will continue to decline over the 21st century as the climate warms," Researchers added. "With these trends, we may see a 20 percent reduction in the yearly average sea ice by 2050, and by then there might be no ice at all during the summer months." The report was released on Saturday at the yearly fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, just one week after an announcement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) that sea ice is melting about nine percent faster than earlier research had showed, and could disappear entirely by the end of this century.

"This trend of disappearing arctic sea ice is one example of the environmental damage that can be linked to carbon dioxide emissions," said Morgan, "When we have the means to reduce CO2 emissions and prevent further damage, we should do our best. National leaders must act now to improve energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, before it's too late."

CU scientists judge that a change in the Greenland climate toward warmer conditions would lead to an increase in the rate of sea level rise, which will bring disasters to the human beings.

56. It can be inferred that ________.

A. scientists have found that Arctic sea ice is lower than before

B. scientists have studied the pictures of the Arctic sent by satellites

C. scientists began to do research on Arctic sea ice in year 2002

D. warm temperature has hardly any effect on the extent of Arctic sea ice now but soon will

57. Scientists fear that __________.

A. there will be no ice left at all in the Arctic Ocean at the end of the 21st century

B. disasters will happen if Arctic sea ice continues to melt faster than before

C. the temperature in Greenland will be too warm for animals and human beings to live on

D. people still think Arctic sea ice is melting slowly

58. It is thought that _________.

A. carbon dioxide emissions are one of the causes of the environmental damage

B. carbon dioxide emissions are an example of the environmental damage

C. most environmental problems are caused by carbon dioxide emissions

D. people can still have the change to solve the above environmental problem

Gary Finkle was seriously hurt in a swimming-pool accident seven years ago. A heavy-set, bearded man of 27, he is one of thousands of Americans who have lost actually all feeling and movment from their shoulders down. He lives with his wife, Micky, and a female monkey named Jo outside the village of Andes, New York.

Gary takes part in an unusual organization called Helping Hands:Simian Aides(猴子助手)for

第4页

the disabled.The organization supplies the disabled with trained monkeys that reduce the disabled person's dependence on family, friends and hired servants.

Using his mouth, Gary controls a small laser(激光)pointer fixed on his wheel-chair. With it, he directs Jo to change books or the tape-recorder. She brings him drinks from a refrigerator(冰箱)and clears away empty containers.

When asked, Jo will fetch the remote control(遥控器)for the TV and place it on Gery's working table where he can operate it with his mouthstick. This mouthstick can be used for practically everything:turning the pages of a book, dialing the telephone, changing channels on TV, working at a typewriter or computer. If Gary's mouthstick drops to the floor, Jo will pick it up and gently put it again into his mouth.

"I can't imagine living without her ,"Gary says. He will always need human assistance for such things as getting in and out of bed, bathing or changing his clothes. But having Jo reduces his dependence on Micky, making it possible for her to do things in town without worrying about her husband's safety.

59.Gary who was disabled can't .

A.stand up to shake hands

B.greet guests

C.admire the things outside

D.turn his head

Waves are beautiful to look at, but they can destroy ships at sea and houses near the shore (海岸). Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the surface of the water. The sun heats the earth, causing the air to rise and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into bigger and bigger ones.

The size of wave depends on how strong the winds is, how long it blows, and how large the body of water is. In a small bay (海湾) big waves will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up big and strong waves.

A rule says that the height (高度) of a wave (in metres) will usually be no more than one-tenth of the wind's speed (in kilometres). In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometeres an hour, most waves will be about twelve metres. Of course, some waves may work together to form very big waves that are much higher. In 1933 the United States Navy (海军) reported the largest measured wave in history. It rose in the Pacific Ocean to a height of thirty-four metres.

63. Most waves are caused by .

A. the earth's size

B. the sun heating the earth

C. the surface of the water

D. the winds blowing across the sea

64. When the winds blow across the sea .

A. little waves are made bigger and bigger

B. the air rises above the surface of the water

C. the heat of the sun is reduced

D. the body of water becomes larger

65. The size of a wave depends on all of the following EXCEPT .

A. how large the body of water is

B. how hot the body of water is

C. how long the wind blows

D. how strong the wind is

66. If the wind is blowing at 30 kilometres an hour, the height of a wave is about .

A. twelve metres

B. one-tenth metres

C. 120 kilometres

D. three metres

D

Scientists have uncovered the exact difference between man and mouse.

Teams of scientists from around the world will publish today the draft genome of the mouse, which enables them for the first time to compare another mammal's entire DNA directly with that of humans.

The similarities are far greater than the differences—man and mouse share a common ancestor that lived more than 70 million years ago - which has allowed scientists to find treatments for a good many human diseases.

British members of the project say the draft mouse genome, published in the journal Nature, has provided the "phrasebook" for scientists to translate the language of the human genome.

"The entire biomedical research community can for the first time fully use this resource to deal with human disease. They will now have powerful tools that will serve them for many years to come," said Dr Jane Rogers, head of sequencing at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which did 20 percent of the work.

Comparisons show almost every gene in the mouse has a corresponding gene in humans - a 99 per cent similarity that should help to find how each human gene works. Already the work has been able to show that man and mouse each have about 30,000 genes yet only 300 or so are uniqueto either species, increasing the value of the lab mouse as a "model" for human genetics.

This is an extraordinary milestone. For the first time we have an opportunity to see ourselves in an evolutionary mirror. The mouse genome stands for a very important chapter in the lap notebook of evolution. By taking away genes to create sick mice, scientists have been able to reproduce a number of human disorders. Knowing the entire genomes of humans and mice will enable them to employ the technique more widely, leading to a rapid development in the understanding of illness.

67. Scientists have found that _______.

A. men and mice are actually the same kind of animal

B. mice are actually the ancestors of human beings

C. the genome of the mouse is the same as that of humans

D. humans and mice most probably have developed from the same ancestor

68. The importance of the discovery lies in the fact that ________.

A. man has finally found his true ancestor

B. it will be easier for people to find the causes of human diseases and cure them

C. it has enabled the scientists to compare human DNA with that of another mammal

D. it makes it possible for man to understand the complicated language of his genome

69. The word "unique" in the sixth paragraph probably mean ________.

A. having no like or equal

B. the same

C. corresponding

D. excellent

70. It can be inferred that ________.

A. every gene of a mouse works in the same way as that of a human being

B. it has become easier for humans to find their real ancestor

第6页

C. more mice will be used in scientific experiments

D. scientists will use less mice in their experiments to protect them

71. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. Mouse 'Book of Life' May Provide Cures for Human Diseases

B. Mice and Men Are the Same

C. Man and Mouse Share a Common Ancestor

D. The Difference Between Man and Mouse

A serious threat to farmers in many parts of the world is erosion. Erosion occurs if a large area of land is cleared of trees and is then badly treated by the farmers. The rain and winds may gradually wash away, or blow away, much of the topsoil. When this happens, crops of wheat or corn become weaker and weaker until nothing grows well. If erosion continues, it will turn good land into a desert.

In the past, when erosion appeared, farmers sometimes moved to a new place to farm. Sometimes they could not move, but continued to try to grow food in the unhealthy soil. This caused them to sink into poverty . Soon some people realized that there was little rich, fertile soil in the world, government began to try to stop erosion.

One of the first experiments to stop erosion began in the United States in 1933. The experiment was carried out in the area of the Tennessee River. Floods and bad farming in this area had ruined (毁坏) land that had once been rich. As a result, most of the people living around the Tennessee River were very poor.

The government built big dams across the river and stored the water for use during the dry season when there was no rain. The government workers also helped farmers to fertilize their soil and to learn new farming methods which could stop erosion.

At the beginning, the farmers were not interested. But soon, good healthy crops began to appear on the land where new methods were used. Ten years after the extremely prosperous, the great success of this experiment had led similar projects in the other parts of the world.

72.The word“erosion”in the first paragraph means .

A.the clearing of trees

B.excessive (极度) use of the land

C.the destruction of crops

D.gradual loss of topsoil

73.The passage tells us that erosion is a problem which .

A.first began in the United States in 1933

B.occurs mainly in river areas

C.affects many parts of the world

D.is becoming more and more serious

74.In the second paragraph,“to sink into poverty”means .

A.to lose topsoil in erosion

B.to become weaker and weaker until nothing grows well

C.to become very poor

D.to turn into a desert

75.The main purpose of this passage is to tell people .

A.how erosion occurs

B.the importance of using new farming methods

C.something can be done to prevent erosion

D.the serious outcomes (后果) of erosion

Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day.Some people buy as many as two or three different newspapers.But why do people read newspapers?

Five hundred years ago,news of important happenings took months and even years to travel from one country to another.The news passed from mouth to mouth and sometimes was not true.Today we can read in our newspapers about important events that occurred in faraway countries on the same day they happened.

第10页

Besides supplying news from all over the world,newspapers give us a lot of other useful information.There are weather reports,radio,television and film guides,book reviews,stories,and of course,advertisements.There are all sorts of https://www.wendangku.net/doc/058246323.html,rge companies pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space to bring attention to their products so that their products can go into almost every home in the country.For those who produce newspapers,advertisements make it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price.
