1. Paragraph
2. Because global warming may be the single largest threat to our planet（the earth）. Low-lying nations could be awash in seawater, rain and drought patterns across the world could change, hurricanes could become more frequent, and El Ninos could become more intense.
2. Paragraph
3. Our factories, power plants, and cars burn coal and gasoline and spit out carbon dioxide, produce methane by allowing our trash to decompose in landfills and by breeding large herds of methane-belching cattle, and release nitrogen oxide by using nitrogen-based fertilizers.
3. Paragraph
4. The increased concentrations of greenhouse gases prevent additional thermal radiation from leaving the Earth, so cause the global warming.
4. Paragraph 7. A slight increase in heat and rain in equatorial regions would increase vector-borne diseases such as malaria; more intense rains and hurricanes could cause more severe flooding and more deaths in coastal regions and along riverbeds; even a moderate rise in sea level could threaten the low-lying islands; hotter summers could lead to more cases of heatstroke, hospital admissions and deaths among vulnerable people with heart problems or respiratory problems.
5. Paragraph 8 and 10. We can curb our consumption of fossil fuels and use technologies to reduce the emission of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides, and protect the forests in the world, and we can also advocate policies that will combat global warming over the long term, things like clean cars, environmentally responsible renewable energy technologies, and stopping the clear-cutting of valuable forests.

1. Global warming will probably be the most serious threat to our Earth, if we do not take into account of some other possible disasters, such as another world war, collision of our Earth with some small orbiting planet, or spread of incurable diseases.

Writing Practice
Read and consider the following topic sentences and then think of or search for famous quotable sayings on the Internet or from other sources. Develop each paragraph using one or two quotes for each topic.
1. It is hard to overestimate the importance of friendship.
Ideas for reference:
Friends are an indispensable part of human’s life.
Friends are the very persons that we get comforts and encouragements.
Friends are our best fans whatever we do if it is good for us.
Sample:
As the saying goes “Whoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god”, friends are an indispensable part of human’s life. “A person without friends is just like a spring without flowers, a dish without seasoning, and it is absolutely meaningless”, as an ancient writer put it. Needless to say, friends play a significant role in our life. To begin with, friends are the very persons that we get comforts and encouragements we need to go on when our own store of willpower has become depleted. No one is bound to be strong and happy all the time, for life has its own up and down. And whenever we need them, friends will be with us, if not always, at least most of the time. Moreover, friends are our best fans whatever we do if it is good for us. When we put on a play, they will be our audiences; when give a speech, they will be our listeners; when we write a book, they will be our readers. In a word, friends are the very persons that we feel flattered and relaxed no matter what stage we stand on. All in all, we have to say that it is hard to overestimate the importance of friendship and having friends is beneficial. They give us comforts and encouragements; strengths and conf idences. Actually, “Truly great friends,” said a writer, “are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.” Therefore, we should cherish our friendship.
2. Setting oneself high goals in life is important.
Ideas for reference:
Aim plays a significant role in our life.
Setting high goals makes us clearer of life.
Setting high goals helps us use our time more efficiently.
Setting high goals turns us more confident.
Sample:
As the saying goes “Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass”, aim plays a significant role in our life, especially when we want to make some achievements. For our college students, it is needless to say that setting high goals in life is important. To begin with, setting high goals makes us clearer of life. We aren’t bound to succeed if we have no goal. Only when we have some idea of our life, will we work harder for it. Furthermore, setting high goals helps us use our time more efficiently. Having an aim in mind, we will take different actions at different periods of our college life, thus making us approach our dream closer and closer. Last but not the least, setting high goals turns us more confident. Just as “Rome isn’t built in a day”, our success cannot be achieved overnight. Bearing some goals in mind, we are easier to make progress every day, thus bringing in more confidence for us. All in all, we have to say that setting high goals is extremely necessary. It gives light to our future and makes us full of energy! If we want to make a difference in life, setting high goals please, for a clear goal determines our destiny!

If we use cloning to grow a new liver, I don't think many people will have problems with that

Because B. Now that C. That is the reason why 正确 答案：C 解析：本题考核“进一步说明”的交际用法。第一个说话者并未提问，所以不需要回答原因之类内容，第二个说话者是在表述自己的观点，That is the reason why是一个同位语从句的常用句式，往往用来进一步解释，在这里表示第二个说话者同意第一个人的观点，并进一步加以解释。所以答案是C。 正确答案是：That is the reason why 题目2 题干 –What are your great strengths? – 选择一项： A. I am very shy. B. My job offers me high income. C. I am very active in discussion. 正确 答案：C 解析：本题考核“谈论优势”的交际用法。问话者询问对方最大的优势是什么，答话者应该说出自己的优点，选项A表达的是性格，不是优点，选项B表述的是其工作的优势。所以答案是C。 正确答案是：I am very active in discussion. 题目3 题干 _________ the regular classes, you can also attend many different seminars and take part in many extracurricular activities. 选择一项： A. Except for B. Including C. Apart from 正确 答案：C 译文：除了常规课，你还可以参加很多不同的讨论和课外活动。 解析：表示“除了”这个意思的词汇很多，但是含义不同，except和except for表示“除……外”，含有不包括之意；besides和apart from表示“除了……，还有……”，实际上表示两者都包含。因此选C。

Unit 8 Architecture Part I Warming up A. Tapescript: For hundreds of years, it has been an imperial capital of Europe. Its rulers raided the Western world to enrich the coffers of the empire. They spent their wealth on magnificent palaces and grand public buildings. They built an opera house that rivals any in Europe. They founded great museums and libraries. They constructed massive, ornate government buildings. And they raised opulent palaces for themselves.A tour of Vienna is a tour of these monuments to excess. Take Schonbrunn Palace, for instance. The Palace's Million Room, named after the cost of the decorations -- 1 million guilders, is a Rococo masterpiece. Inset in the paneling are 260 rare miniatures of Indo-Persian heritage. The frames are real gold leaf, and the paneling is precious wood.
