"Nigerians cannot expect Aljazeera or BBC to report on Africa, and indeed Nigeria and China relations, the way we want," said Oloja.Mutually objective coverage will generate more cooperation and better understanding between China and Nigeria, said Li Xiaohua, a representative from China. , a leading multi-language website in China.56.

Improving our report in AfricaBOne of my China Dialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one．He was happy with his choice．It may have cost 30 yuan （just under US$4．50） - ten times the price of a filament （灯丝） bulb - but he wanted to save energy as part of his low-carbon lifestyle．And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 yuan he was spending．Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price．Will he stick to his high-cost, low-carbon lifestyle?China's environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change．But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living es at a high cost．It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods．Cost can no longer be the only standardfor purchases．An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative - whether it's a simple light bulb or the house it shines．For average consumers, even buying an ordinary bulb is a huge burden．How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich．） emissions．Their Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide （CO2responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a high-carbon life in the future．The principle of "mon but differentiated responsibility" - a basis of sustainable development - can be applied here as well．In China, low-carbon living still is resisted by a lack of social infrastructure （基础设施）. Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you acplish it．Consider energy-saving homes. You need to find out whether or not the developer has used natural materials wherever possible; how effective the insulation（绝缘物、隔热物） is; and what the green credentials of installed equipment are．You can read up a little, but you'll still be lucky to avoid being puzzled by the developers' marketing．Many so-called energy-saving buildings are nothing of the sort, and some are even more energy-hungry than the average home - as Li Taige warned in his article "Energy-efficient buildings? Not always", on China Dialogue last August．61. What may probably be the best title of this passage?A. To purchase a cheap bulb - your wise alternative．B. To choose an energy-saving residence - a must of your lifeC. To learn a low-carbon lifestyle - each citizen's responsibilityD. To learn a low-carbon lifestyle - a promising but difficult purpose62. Why does the writer say this fashion is only for the rich in the fourth paragraph?A. Because the cost is a very important standard for purchases.B. Because buying an ordinary bulb is very expensive.C. Because energy-saving products are more expensive than the mon alternatives.D. Because rich people like to follow this trend.63. What does the writer think of energy-saving homes?A. Most of them are environmentally friendly.B. They are musts of low-carbon lifestyle of Chinese.C. They are huge burdens for Chinese people.D. Many of them are more in name than in reality.64. We can infer from the passage that ____．A. Using energy-saving bulbs and appliances is a fashion．B. It's easy for most Chinese to try to learn a low-carbon lifestyle．C. All citizens in China don’t have the same responsibility in living a low-carbonlifestyle．D. Most Chinese families cannot afford to purchase an energy-saving residence.65. What is the writer's attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?A. informative and entertainingB. supportive but cautiousC. negative but wiseD. positive and activeCYou feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, the n it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset .When you take and take without giving anythingback ,you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values .I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a mitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits bees your life purpose.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be panionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a mitment to live by your being values, it bees easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calmperson might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.66. The main purpose of this passage is to ___________.A．persuade the readers to make a mitmentB．inform the readers how to be truly happyC．explain to the readers what personal values areD．instruct the readers how to make wise choices67. According to the text, living by your being values ,you would ___________.A．gain a lot of power B．fill your own needsC．seek all human virtues D．form positive personality68. The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means___________.A．a feeling of emptiness B．an absence of one’s mindC．a break of continuity D．a state of confusion69. Which of the following does not belong to “your having values”?A. your success in the petitionB. the help from your friendsC. your own peaceful mindD. the friendship70. What can be inferred from the text?A．Having values are better than being values.B．The way other people think of you decides who you are.C． A calm person does not choose to plain.D．A responsible person does not care about financial security.PART Ⅳ WRITING (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Like our body, our memory needs regular exercise to be in good condition. Like the sportsman who must train to allow the body to respond to difficult times, the memory needs its own special training in order to stay in “shape” and improve.There are many factors that can cause poor memory like insomnia (失眠), depression and alcohol. However, there are simple ways which you can follow to keep your memory in shape and actually help you to improve your memory’s condition and performance.Never stop learning. Look for topics that interest you and really get involved in learning new information about them. Reading and attending lectures or programsare sources of continuous education of your brain with beneficial results to your memory.Develop your social and family relationships. The more social you are, the better it is for your brain. Studies have shown that the brain and heart have a lot to gain from good family and social relationships.Exercise your mind with games. The more you use your brain, the more you help your memory stay in shape. There are many games that can make you an intelligent person as well as entertain you such as chess, puzzles and board games.Exercise physically can improve your memory. This type of exercise improves the circulatory （血液循环的） system. Even the simple but regular daily exercise such as fast walking can improve the heart and oxygenation（供氧） of the brain. The benefits of exercise affect positively many body systems, as well as our memory and other cognitive（认知的） capabilities.Eat more fruit and vegetables. What we eat every day affects the performance and long-term condition of our memory. Fruit and vegetables are an excellent source of antioxidants（抗氧化剂） and vitamins that can help and benefit the nervous system. So our memory is like a sportsman. The more we practice our brains and memory, the better their performance will be.Title: How to improve memorySection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.The tasty cream-filled golden sponge(海绵) cakes have been an American favorite for decades. These are just a few of the sugary treats made by the beloved Hostessbrand. But after more than 80 years, Americans have to say goodbye to these iconic (标志性的) desserts. Early last week, Hostess announced it is going out of business. "Many people have worked unbelievably long and hard to keep this from happening," said Hostess CEO Gregory F. Rayburn. "Hostess Brand has no other alternative than to begin the process of getting down and preparing for the sale of our iconic brands." Along with Twinkles (奶油蛋糕) and Wonder Bread, cupcakes and other sugary treats may disappear from the shelves.In the past decade, Hostess has experienced difficulties with its management and high labor costs. The pany had money troubles in the past, but this time there was no way to recover. Along with the loss of sugary treats es the loss of nearly 20,000 jobs. Hostess fans hope that another pany will buy out the Hostess.The downfall of Hostess is due not just to the pany's financial problems, but also to a changing America. Our country's tastes and lifestyles are not the same as they were eighty years ago. Americans have bee more health-conscious, and they are demanding more healthful food products. As a manufacturer of high-calorie products, Hostess does not fit into this new way of life.To make matters worse for Hostess, Americans do not eat as much bread as they once did. "More and more people are choosing one-dish meals," said Harry Balzar. "The tradition of bread as a side dish is going out." Americans are finding alternatives to their morning toast too. Instead they’re choosing quick snacks like yogurt and energy bars.Will Twinkles bee an image of a bygone(过去的) America? Hostess fans hope that it will secure its spot on supermarket shelves for years to e. We can only wait. And maybe eat fruit for dessert instead.81. What caused Hostess to be in trouble in the last 10 years? (no more than 7 words) _____________________________________________________________________82. Can you list three disappearing sugary desserts by Hostess? (no more than 5 words) _____________________________________________________________________83. What makes Hostess's situation more severe? (no more than 9 words)_____________________________________________________________________84. What's the hope of Hostess fans about this spongy snack's future? (no more than 20 words)_____________________________________________________________________Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English position according to the instructions given below in Chinese.在生活中，你或者你的朋友都有可能遭遇过这样的尴尬：年长的人不能理解或误解你们这一辈比较流行的文化现象，比如说：“快闪（flash mob）”。

第Ⅰ卷客观卷一．现代文阅读（9分，每小题3分）抗生素滥用与DNA污染（1）青霉素问世后，抗生素成了人类战胜病菌的神奇武器。

然而，人们很快发现，虽然新的抗生素层出不穷，但是，抗生素奈何不了的耐药菌也越来越多，耐药菌的传播令人担忧。

xx年的一项关于幼儿园口腔卫生情况的研究发现，儿童口腔细菌约有15%是耐药菌，97%的儿童口腔中藏有耐4~6种抗生素的细菌，虽然这些儿童在此前3个月中都没有使用过抗生素。

（2）从某种意思上说，现代医学正在为它的成功付出代价。

抗生素的普遍使用有利地抑制了普通细菌，客观上减少了微生物世界的竞争者，因而促进了耐药性细菌的增长。

（3）细菌耐药基因的种类和数量增长速度之快，是无法用生物的随机突变来解释的。

细菌不仅在同种内，而且在不同的物种之间交换基因，甚至能够从已经死亡的同类散落的DNA中获得基因。

事实上，这些年来，每一种已知的致病菌都已或多或少获得了耐药基因。

研究人员对一株耐万古霉素肠球菌的分析表明，它的基因组中，超过四分之一的基因，包括所有耐抗生素基因，都是外来的。

耐多种抗生素的鲍氏不动杆菌也是在与其他菌种交换基因中获得了大部分耐药基因。

（4）研究人员正在梳理链霉菌之类土壤微生物的DNA，他们对近500个链霉菌品系的每一个菌种都检测了对多种抗生素的耐药性。

结果，平均每种链霉菌能够耐受七八种抗生素，有许多能够耐受十四五种。

对于实验中用到的21种抗生素，包括泰利霉素和利奈唑胺这两种全新的合成抗生素，研究人员在链霉菌中都发现了耐药基因。

研究发现，这些耐药基因与致病菌中耐药基因有着细微的差异。

有证据表明，耐药基因在从土壤到重危病人的旅途中，经过了许多次转移。

（5）人类已经认识到滥用抗生素对自身健康的严重威胁，并且也认识到在牲畜饲养中大量使用抗生素的严重危害。

For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, it's something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food, from the fort of your sofa. But that’s not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showroomin g”. Showrooming is something I've done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock—down price. I'm not alone in doing this. Research by a pany called Foolproof, found 24％of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in xx.Amy Cashman, Head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.” She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more petitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in—store discounts or free gifts.We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless puter screen but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!31. The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised toA. give two examplesB. introduce the topicC. pare different opinionsD. get answers from readers32. What does showrooming mean in the text?A. Trying in shops and buying online.B. Showing products in a room.C. Buying something in a store.D. Shopping on the Internet.33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Online shops will disappear.B. Free gifts will surely promote sales.C. Shops need necessary changes.D. Shops will be replaced by online shops.34. The author's attitude towards showrooming is .A. criticalB. negativeC. casualD. supportive BMy father had always been an alert (警觉的) observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad’s test. None did. Dad was always right—they didn’t pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own. That’s when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I’d dated. He could sit for hour s on the piano bench with my mother, discussing some posers. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’t a turkey like the other guys I’d brought home. Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s?Then came my mother’s birthday. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call. “Don’t worry,” he said, “but I’ve been in an accident. I’m fine, but I need you to pick me up.”When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing at a beautiful white corsage (胸花). The florist put the corsage in a box.The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. “Are you all right?” I asked. “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving? Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked. “I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he’d planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “Yes,” I whispered. We both sat dumbfounded (目瞪口呆), tear s running down our cheeks. I’d never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval.“Oh, let’s just go inside.” Jack laughed. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” we shouted. Jack handed the box to her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with tears. “Mom, what’s wrong?”I asked. “I’m sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.” “From who?” I asked. “Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged.” My eyes locked on Jack’s as I blinked away (眨掉) tears. Dad’s test? I knew Jack hadpassed.35. According to the text, we know the writer’s father was ______.A. interested in observing things aroundB. good at judging one’s characterC. strict with her boyfriendD. fond of challenges36. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Jack got the family’s approval except Dad’s.B. Jack was different from any other boy.C. Jack was getting on well with Mother.D. Jack knew a lot about piano.37. The underlined word “proposal” in Paragraph 5 means _____.A. piece of adviceB. wedding ceremonyC. celebration of birthdayD. offer of marriage38. On hearing “moving in with you”, the writer felt _____.A. pleasedB. worriedC. surprisedD. disappointed39. Why did the writer’s mother cry?A. The gift was the same as the one her husband gave her.B. She had never received such a beautiful gift.C. Her daughter found her life partner at last.D. The gardenia corsage was too expensive.CBeing a senior high school student, my future is always on my mind. To be exact, thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of fort. Steve Jobs gave a speech to Stanford’s graduating class in xx and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future.It started when I becam e a junior, when college came into view. It’s the first big step to make your life your own. So when Jobs discussed his life as a student, some fears were eased. He also felt the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well.This doesn’t mean that students shouldn’t attend college, but ratherthat they shouldn’t worry so much. You'll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding than you'd like.Jobs talked about the hardships in his work. His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: don’t panic. One particular part of his speech stayed with me. Steve Jobs quoted the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish” and it has bee my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much you've learned or experienced. There is always more to explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated.Steve Jobs’ level of success is possible to achieve, and I aim to prove that. With the will power to go into the world living every day like it’s my last and allowing the future to take care of itself, I will do great things.

Based on a random sampling method, the survey, done in May last year, investigated about 1,095 people living in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xinjiang, Jinzhong, and Luzhou. All these people were aged between 18 and 60. The survey shows that 55.5% of the parents did not know who their children’s best friends we re. Fathers, in particular, knew even less about their children than mothers, as the survey shows only 33.8% of fathers knew who their children’s best friends were while 50.8% of mothers did so, China Youth Daily reported.Parents with little education were less concerned with their children’s life, or whom their children played with. The survey shows that among parents that graduated from primary schools or without any educational background, only 33.1% knew who their children’s best friends were. Among parents that had received middle school education, the related proportion reached 45.5%.This year’s survey was also based on random sampling. In May xx, the Horizon Research Group investigated some 1,456 families in Beijing,Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wu han, Changsha, Xi’an, Chengdu and Harbin. The survey shows that children under the age of 12 play for less time with their playmates than their parents did when they were young.The survey also shows that most children at present spend only 21.9% of their time playing with their friends, while their parents spent 36.8% of their time with their playmates when they were young. Nowadays, most children spend more time with their grandparents or babysitters than with their parents.44. The article tells us that the two surveys show the following aspects EXCEPT that ______.A. parents at present spend less time playing with their children than with the older generation.B. some parents do not know their children’s best friend.C. educated parents are more con cerned about their children’s life than those with little education.D. parents at present are concerned little about their children’s life.45. The article can be found in _________.A. a magazineB. a newspaperC. a science journalD. aschool book46. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Parents need to take their responsibilities for their children.B. Parents should provide better conditions for their children.C. Parents don’t play an important part in the growth of their children now.D. Parents should let their children have more friends.ECheaters called “pirates”often use camcorders(便携式摄像机) and cell phones to make illegal copies of blockbusters(大片) in the local theater. These pirates then sell those recordings on the street or over the Internet for very low prices. Some share them for free.“It’s unfair for people to pirate movies, ” says 15-year-old Hadaia Azad Ezzulddin. Movie piracy “takes money out of the pockets of thousands of people in the movie industry,” she notes. Victims include famous actors and directors as well as local theater owners and their employees. Hadaia came up with an idea that could help stop movie piracy. Hadaia’s idea uses infrared(红外线的) light. This range of light is invisible tothe human eye. It is visible, however, to many types of cameras. Theater owners could place small infrared lights on their movie screens. The lights would not disturb people watching the movie. It would, however, distort the recordings made by many types of cameras.To test her idea, Hadaia built a box with a movie screen inside. Then, she projected images on that screen through a hole in the box. She took recordings of those images, using nine different types of cameras. These included the types found in cell phones as well as camcorders. During some tests, she also turned on light emitting diodes(发光二极管), or LEDs. The LEDs were embedded（植入的） in a certain place behind the movie screen. They gave out infrared light.Sure enough, she showed, a pirated movie included odd stripes or spots if it had been recorded while the LEDs were on. It might be possible to use the LEDs to flash the date and time on the movie screen. The information would then appear in the illegal recordings. Theater owners or police might use the information to track down the pirates.Cutting down on piracy might get more people into theaters to watch the real movie instead of an illegal copy. Six out of every ten films nowproduced aren’t profitable. They don’t make enough money to recover how much was spent to make and market them. Such a poor payback can discourage filmmakers from producing anything but the types expected to bee blockbuster hits. It might also keep smaller theaters from showing a wider variety of movie types.47. From what Hadaia says in Paragraph 2, we can infer that _______.A. most people spend less money on pirates movesB. the pirates don’t have to pay for the movie ticketsC. theater owners will increase the price of movie ticketsD. she strongly criticizes those who video movies in the theater48. Infrared lights are put on the movie screens to _______.A. adjust the brightness of the movie screensB. make sure the images of movies are darkC. protect the eyesight of viewers in the darknessD. make illegal copies of movies unpleasant to see49. What is the correct order of the steps in Hadaia’s test?a. She projected pictures on the screen.b. She used cameras to record the pictures.c. She turned on the LEDs placed behind the screen.d. She made a special box with a movie screen inside.A. bacdB. dcabC. dbacD. bcad50. According to the last paragraph, we can know that _______.A. forty percent of movies now are profitableB. small theaters often choose to show low-cost moviesC. more and more people go to theaters to fight movie piracyD. filmmakers prefer to produce ordinary movies than blockbusters第四节：完成对话（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）—Sara, I’ve been looking forward to our yearly camp out for 3 weeks.51 .

It is called “Citta Slow”. “Citta” in Italian means city. The concept of “Citta Slow” aims to improve people’s quality of life by creating a more caring and ecologically correct environment through the enjoyment of food art, theatre, community gathering places and so on.Slow cities are characterized by a way of life that enables people to live slowly. Traditions and traditional ways of doing things are valued. Slow cities have less traffic, less noise and fewer crowds.These cities stand up against the fast pace of life often seen in other cities throughout the world.Towns in Italy have banded together to form an organization called the Slow City Movement. The global organization hopes to help the world by deciding which cities can call themselves Slow Cities and which cities cannot.The principles of the Slow City Movement are those we would like all cities to live by. Hopefully the movement will continue and cities that cannot meet the strict criteria will continue to work towards these principles.The Slow City Movement is already very popular around the world. London is one of the cities that are taking part and it has its own website. The website says: “There are people in cities all over the world who have found all sorts of ways to bring a sense of relaxation to places where it can often be stressful to live. Slow London provides a place for these people to meet and share their ideas.”65．“Citta Slow” is .A．a movement started in some Italian citiesB．a new trend already popular around the worldC．a way of life that enables people to live slowlyD．a concept against the fast pace of life66．According to the passage, to improve people’s quality of life, it is effective to .A．practise as your previous generations didB．persuade all people to travel on footC．pay a single visit to the theatreD．put emphasis upon the fast pace of life67．Which of the following statement is NOT true about the Slow City Movement?A．The Slow City Movement was initiated in Italy.B．London is taking part in the Slow City Movement.C．The Slow City Movement is trying to form the standard of slow cities.D．Only some cities are slow ones by the criteria.68．Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A．Citta SlowB．Slow CitiesC．Slow Cities and the Slow MovementD．The Slow City MovemetBDepartment of Homeland SecurityU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services I – 797 C, Notice of01/31/05)69．What does this table allow you to do?A．T o apply for a visit to America.B．T o apply for immigration to America.C．To apply for a visit to the People’s Republic of China.D．To apply for immigration to the People’s Republic of China.70．You can get to the destination on .A．May 25,1975B．January 31,C．June 18,D．July 18,71．Suppose you plan to change your applicant status, you have to .A．notify U.

More than one million of them die, mostly young children and pregnant women in Africa.For several years in sub-Saharan Africa, the Global Fund and other groups have been paying for bed nets treated with long-lasting insect poison. Malaria is spread by mosquito bites. The groups have also invested in antimalaria drugs for A.C.T., artemisinin-based combination therapy.Recently, a team from the World Health Organization visited Ethiopia, Ghana, Rwanda and Zambia. These countries were the first to distribute the bed nets and medicine. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis(肺结核) and Malaria requested a study to see if the interventions were helping.The researchers found that the answer is yes. They looked at records of children under five. They found that malaria deaths fell by sixty-six percent in Rwanda between two thousand five and two thousand seven. Deaths fell by fifty-one percent in Ethiopia, thirty-four percent in Ghana and thirty-three percent in Zambia.The team reported that limited supplies of bed nets could help explain the more limited effects in Zambia and Ghana. But the findings in Ghana were more difficult to explain, because deaths from causes other than malaria fell more sharply. The report says this was in keeping with general improvements in health services.The full report can be found at who. int, on the page for the global malaria program.In another new study, researchers reported that vitamin A and zinc treatments might also help protect young children from malaria. Scientists in Burkina Faso found that malaria reinfection rates fell by thirty – four percent in a group of children treated with vitamin A and zinc.The findings appear in Nutrition Journal, an open access publication that can be read free of charge at nutritionj. com.72．Which is probably the most useful in fighting malaria according to the passage?A．Bed nets.B．Medicine.C．Vitamin A and zinc treatments.D．Killing mosquitoes.73．Why did a team from the World health Organization visit the African countries?A．T o help the African countries to fight malaria.B．T o identify whether their effort to fight malaria was effective.C．To study which people tend to be infected with malaria.D．To study what measures can be taken against malaria.74．What can be concluded from the passage?A．Malaria only appears in Africa.B．Malaria is no longer a threat to African countries.C．The researchers are disappointed with the result of the study.D．People all over the world are trying to treat malaria.75．Which one summarizes the passage best?A．A Success Story for Malaria Control in AfricaB．Malaria in AfricaC．Say No to MalariaD．How to Treat MalariaDFarmers in the United States sometimes plant switchgrass as a border crop. But could this tall grass lower the nation’s dependence on foreign oil?The Department of Energy plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to help produce fuels from materials that are not part of the food supply. Growing corn, or maize, for fuel has raised concerns about the supply and cost of corn available for food and animal feed.Fuel made from switchgrass or forestry waste like sawdust(锯屑) is known as cellulosic(有纤维质的) ethanol(酒精). Department officials say it contains more energy and produces fewer greenhouse gases than ethanol made from corn. Switchgrass is also easier to grow.Last month, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a study of switchgrass grown on low-quality land. Government scientist Ken Vogel was the lead author. The study says the switchgrass produced five times more energy than was needed to grow it. Also, it says switchgrass, over its lifetime from crop to fuel, produces much less carbon compared to gasoline.Fossil fuels like oil take carbon from the ground and release it as waste gas when the fuel is burned. Biofuels(生物燃料) like corn and cellulosic ethanol also produce greenhouse gases, through growing crops and making the fuel. The difference is that biofuels remove carbon from the atmosphere through the growth of the feedstock, the material for the fuel.Science magazine just published two studies of biofuels and the heat-trapping gases that scientists link to climate change. One of the reports notes that most studies have found that substituting biofuels for gasoline will reduce greenhouse gases.But it says the earlier studies failed to count the carbon released into the atmosphere as farmers worldwide react to higher prices. They are clearing forests and grasslands to make way for new cropland to replace the grain used for biofuels. Doing so can release much of the carbon stored in the plants and soil, and sacrifice future storage.The study found that corn-based ethanol could increase greenhouse gases for years from land use change. And it found that biofuels from switchgrass, if grown on American corn land, could also increase emissions, though by less.The study team, led by Timothy Searchinger at Princeton University, says the result shows the value of using waste products for fuel. The other report says carbon savings depend on how biofuels are produced.76．Switchgrass is a better fuel than corn in all the following aspects except .A．switchgrass grows on low – quality landB．switchgrass produces more energy than cornC．switchgrass produces fewer greenhouse gases than cornD．swiotchgrass is easier to grow77．It is implied in the underlined sentence that .A．an increasing number of people worry about the use of corn as fuelB．there will be an increase in price of corn for food if it is used as fuelC．there will be an decrease in quantity of corn for food if it is used as fuelD．all the above choices are right78．Biofuels produces much less carbon compared to Fossil fuels in that .A．biofuels produce less greenhouse gases than fossil fuelsB．fossil fuels release carbon while biofuels not when burningC．biofuels take in carbon from the air when they are growingD．biofuels produce greenhouse gases only when they are burning79．The passage indicates that .A．we’d better make full use of biofuels to protect the environmentB．the value of using biofuels remains to be further studiedC．it’s costless to grow biofeulsD．biofuels are just switchgrass and cornSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A –John Graham won the annual competition of tall tales, which is held at the Bridge. Inn in Santon Bridge, in Britain’s Lake District. The “world’s biggest liar” has been crowned, after telling a tale about a German World War II submarine invading Britain to get digital television decoders. The 69 – year – old Graham, who has won the title five times before, insisted to BBC radio that “it was a true story”.The annual World’s Biggest Liar Competition, which now draws tourists and competitors from around the world, dates back to the 19 th century when it was founded toThe contest is always held at the Bridge Inn.
