In New Orleans, it covers every surface that was flooded, from cars and now-dead lawns to the entire contents of flooded homes, stores, hospitals, and schools."When people come back, they are exposed to the sediment," said Wilma Subra, a chemist from New Iberia, Louisiana, who is analyzing the sediment. "It's in their yards and houses."Old Pollution ResurfacingPlaquemines Parish, a rural county on the peninsula south of New Orleans, is now covered with even more toxic sediment than it was two weeks ago, thanks to Hurricane Rita."Six inches up to one foot (15 to 30 centimeters) of sludge," Subra reported.Much of the sludge in Plaquemines is the product of nearby bayous and bay bottoms, where sediment was lifted up by Katrina's and Rita's storm surges.The sediment has been polluted over the years with industrial chemicals and heavy metals, said Subra, who tested the sediment for the Southern Mutual Help Association, a nonprofit organization in New Iberia, Louisiana."These water bodies have received industrial wastes for decades," she said. "This material has toxic chemicals, metals, and organic petrochemicals(石化产品)."Matters have only been made worse by multiple oil spills caused by Katrina and Rita. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, 11 oil spills have occurred in southern Louisiana, totaling 7.4 million gallons (28 million liters) of oil, most of which has been contained.Bacteria levels are also especially high in the Plaquemines sludge, said Rodney Mallett, spokesperson for the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality."The sewage treatment plants were underwater," he explained. "Between the animal waste and the human waste, you've got a lot of bacteria."Protection KitsHealth and environmental agencies are advising people to avoid contact with the sludge. They recommend that people wear gloves, goggles, and dust masks, and that they wash promptly if exposure occurs.EPA officials are directing people to its Web site () to inform themselves of the contamination risks.But most people returning to the area don't have computers to get that information, said Erik Olson, an attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy group."If you [do] read the Web site," he added, "you practically have to have a degree in chemistry to understand it."To better inform people of health risks, the Southern Mutual Help Association and Oxfam America are developing a program to give every returning resident a protective kit.Each kit would contain waterproof suits, goggles(风镜), shoe covers, and masks, along with information about potential hazards, Volunteers would give out the kits at the security checkpoints that now stand at the major entrances to affected cities.The groups have made a hundred demonstration kits, which cost about $100 (U.S.) each to produce, and have shown them to state leaders in Louisiana."The governor is really in favor of this," Subra said. "We just have to determine how we're going to fund them."Toxic Mold BloomsIn addition to the toxic sediment, sprawling blooms of mold have now taken hold in many flooded homes. "The mold is growing everywhere-homes are just coated with it," Subra said.The problem has become so widespread that federal health officials warned Wednesday of allergic reactions and toxic responses to the mold. Professionals should be hired to clean mold that covers more than ten square feet (one square meter), they urged."Those [surfaces] that can't be cleaned need to be removed," said Steven Redd, chief of the Air Pollution and Respiratory Health Branch of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).The effects of the mold are already surfacing in Mississippi, where respiratory(呼吸的) problems are among the illnesses doctors there are reporting."We're seeing a lot of asthma from inhaling the mold," said Richard Paat, team leader of a temporary East Biloxi clinic. "And mouth sores from the bad water."Due to contact with unclean water, 33 people in the flood zone have contracted Vibrio infections, according to the CDC. The infections are caused by a family of bacteria that live in contaminated salt water. They can cause serious illness, especially in people with compromised immune systems.To date, six people have died from Vibrio infections."People had open wound and walked through floodwater with sewage in it," CDC spokesperson Von Roebuck said. "And these folks were having these wounds infected with Vibrio."Disaster Response Care"This is a highly contaminated area," said Susan Briggs, the physician overseeing FEMA's disaster-response medical teams in Louisiana and Alabama.Her teams have been inoculating residents for tetanus and Hepatitis A and B. Hepatitis is a danger when people are exposed tosewage, through water or food, Briggs explained. Tetanus can occur when people cut themselves on unclean materials, as may happen when cleaning debris.The rudimentary(根本的) living conditions in many Katrina-struck areas make it more likely that people will get sick and injured, Briggs said."They have no electricity, no clean water, no air conditioning," she said. "There are collapsed structures and stray animals. There are huge amounts of stray dogs, and people have been bitten."Briggs and other doctors in the area have been treating many cases of diarrhea, rashes, and upper-respiratory illnesses.All of these conditions are to be expected after natural disasters, according to the CDC. But it's too soon to know if these ailments are related to contamination, the CDC's Roebuck said."We're looking at that question," he said. "We'd like to know the answer."1. The passage gives a description of the contamination in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.2. Katrina left New Orleans and other communities tainted with oil and sewage.3. Plaquemines Parish is now covered with even more toxic sediment that it was two weeks ago.4. People are being advised to avoid contact with the sludge by health and environmental agencies.5.

The conditions in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina is special.7. In addition to the toxic sediment, sprawling blooms of mold have now taken hold in many flooded homes, and it is growing everywhere.8. To date, six people have died from?________.9. The rudimentary living conditions in many Katrina-struck areas make it more likely that people will get________.10. All of these conditions are to be expected after________.

Both people and apes have the similar brain structure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of blood.There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee(黑猩猩), the orangutan(猩猩), the gorilla(大猩猩), and the gibbon(长臂猿). They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much.However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly from tree to tree.These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables and fruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there for more than a night or two. Then they move on to look for more food.There are some differences among the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet high and weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and weight up to 200 pounds.Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table and eat, to dress themselves, and to do things that human children can do.57. What does the first paragraph tell us?[A] The ape looks like human beings most.[B] People and the ape think alike.[C] People and the ape behave alike.[D] The ape is the most intellectual animal in the world.58. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?[A] All apes are brown or black.[B] All parts of apes' bodies are covered with hair.[C] Apes have weak legs but very strong arms.[D] Apes' arms are strong enough to swim.59. Apes build nests in the trees but seldom sleep there for more than a night or two because ________.[A] They like to live in small family groups[B] They like to move from place to place in search of more food[C] They like to eat eggs, small animals, nuts and insects[D] it rains too often in the deep forests60. Among the three kinds of apes, ________.[A] the gorilla is the biggest[B] the gibbon is only three feet high but it is heavier than the orangutan[C] the orangutan is smaller than the gorilla and cleverer than the gibbon[D] the orangutan can stand up to a great height, but others cannot61. The last paragraph tells us that ________.[A] chimpanzees can do better than human children[B] chimpanzees can do many things that human children cannot do[C] human children can do many things that chimpanzees cannotdo[D] the intelligence of chimpanzees is similar to that of human childrenPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Videodisc holds great promise of helping to meet the needs of American schoolchildren who have problems seeing, hearing, speaking, or socializing. Almost eleven percent of the students aged 3~21 in this country have an impairment that affects their ability to benefit from a regular education program. Handicapped students require special education because they are often markedly different from most children in one or more of the following ways: mentally retarded(发展迟缓的) learning-disabled, emotionally disturbed, deaf, visually handicapped, physically handicapped, or other health impairments. The education of these handicapped children is rewarding but challenging.A special education student usually needs a longer period of time to acquire information. Repetitive teaching techniques are often beneficial, and indefatigable(孜孜不倦的) consistency on the part of the teacher is frequently necessary. Interactive videodisc courseware has characteristics that can be capitalized upon to meet the challenges that special education poses. A videodisc program is infinitely patient. Repetition of any videodisc lesson can continue endlessly, and designers can assure absolute consistency within a program. Most important, according to special educator William Healey of the University of Arizona, is that videodisc "adds an extra dimension of realism for children who need graphic representations."Healey explained that deaf and mentally retarded children especially have difficulty grasping figurative(比喻的)language and higher-order language concepts. He believes that for special education, the power of videodisc lies in the ability of the technology to visually represent language concepts normally taken for granted by non-handicapped persons. Complex figurative language forms such as idioms and metaphors come most readily to mind as being difficult for handicapped learners.62. The special education mentioned in the text is mainly concerned with ________.[A] genius students from day-care centers to colleges[B] students who are fond of computer video games[C] teachers of language in the University of Arizona[D] students who are either mentally or physically disabled63. A videodisc courseware is beneficial to those who have study difficulties because ________.[A] its fancy design is very attractive[B] it allows the user to go back to where he wants to restudy[C] the content of it is healthy and promising[D] it is developed by university professors64. According to Professor Healey, we may infer that mentally retarded children perhaps ________.[A] need graphic representations in order to understand higher-order language concepts[B] are good at studying English idioms but often fail to grasp higher-order language concepts[C] are not very patient with videodisc which helps them to understand the world concepts[D] tend to be deaf as well and have difficulty learning the simple concept "before and after"65. The best phrase that summarizes the main idea of the text is ________.[A] handicapped students and their problems[B] videodisc and special education[C] computer assisted teaching programs[D] normal children and handicapped kids66. The word "impairment" (Line 2, Para. 1) probably means ________.[A] habit[B] disability[C] misconceptiPart V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D] on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.

They are left in the ____67 ___ of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their ____68 ___ children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any ____69___ visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth-an ____70 ___ story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care ____71 ___ elderly people need. Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studied ____72 ___ the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the ____73 ___ American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children. ____74 ___, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ____75 ___, family members must provide long term care.

In other words, they all felt that they ____78 ___ do the job better than anyone else. Social workers ____79 ___ caregivers to find out why they took ___ 80 ___ the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believed they had ___81 ___ to help their relative.

The smells of the sea reminds me of happy family holidays, and the smell of r oses makes me think of my friend’s house. Strangely enough, I like the smell of air craft fuel at airports. Then I know I am going to fly somewhere exciting. But it’s the general smell of my garden in the rain that I really like the most. That means I am at home where I should be.Text 1M: I think it’s going to rain.W: I guess so. The skies are dark and cloudy.Text 2M: Lucy is going back to China next month, Alice.W: Oh, really?M: And she will not meet Richer this time.Text 3W: I hate to say it. But Jacky isn’t doing well in the film.M: Well. I think he’s only playing a different type of role. My sister thinks he i s still the best.Text 4M: Professor Miners, could I talk to you about my paper?W: Sure. Come to my office between two to three. It’s Room 340.Text 5W: OK. Time to go home. ()M: I can’t. I haven’t finished the report about the newly ope ned restaurant.W: Well. If you carry on working like that, you’ll make yourself ill.Text 6M: I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where have you been?W: I went to New York to visit my sister and stayed there for two months. Actually, I really went to meet my new nephew. ()M: That’s great! How old is he?W: Well. He was five months old when I got there. And he could possibly be the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.M: What did you do in your sister’s home?W: I helped the baby and played with him a lot, which was nice. But what I enjoyed most was feeding him.Text 7M: Air pollution is so bad in this city. I think the government should stop people from driving cars on certain days.W: You have a point. Air pollution is a problem. But not letting people drive on certain days is a bad idea. People have to go to work by car.M: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things. If we stop them from driving on certain days, maybe they could think of new ways to get around. W: I see your point. But I still think it wouldn’t be possible to stop people from driving. Text 8M: Let’s go and have lunch together.W: OK!M: By the way, I’m thinking of going to New Zealand around Christmas for three weeks. It’s such a beautiful country. I’ve never been there before.W: Have you booked the flight?M: Not yet. I’m planning to book my flight in two weeks’ timeW: Book your flight right now. ()M: Why?W: Because the longer you leave it, the more expensive it will be. As a matter of fact,M: Then I’m going to book my flight tomorrow morning.Text 9M: Hello!W: Hello, Mike! This is Jane.M: Oh. Hello, Jane!W: Listen, Mike! I’ve got a real problem.M: What is it?W: The car’s broken down.M: Oh, not again.W: Yeah. I checked the oil and I checked almost everything. It’s just not starting at all. M: You have to get rid of it, you know.W:I know ,Iknow. But look, the thing is, I’ve got to pick Tom up at the airport. Can I…? M: Use my car? Yes, of course.W: That’ll be great! It’s very kind of you.M: Come on when you like. I don’t need it till tonight.W: OK! I’ll be around in about an hour. Thanks a lot!M: It’s all right. See you then!W: See you!Text 10W: OK! When we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and some well-known short story writers. I remember that many of you said you liked the American writer Earnest Hemingway, right? I hope you all followed my advice and finished reading his story “ A day’s wait”, because as I said, we’re going to study it together in today’s lesson. Now since you’re supposed to have read this story, let’s have some discussion. Please look at the four questions on the blackboard. First, when and where does the story take place? Second, what does the boy read for in the story and what kind of person does he show himself to be? Third, what kind of person is the boy’s father? Four, what is the writer’s main purpose of writing the story? I’d like you to work in groups of four or five and present your answers in ten minutes. Is everything clear?4、广东卷1.W: Hi, Jack. I heard that you are back at school now.M: Yes, Susan. I just started college after taking three years off after high school. W: Oh, yeah?M: I’m feeling completely out of practice.

But I went back after a year. Then after two years I came back to school again. I actually felt like I appreciated my education more, because I was ready for it. M: That’s a good point. I didn’t go on to college after high school, because I wasn’t ready. I needed a break.W: Exactly.M: Did it take you a while to remember how to form my papers or stuff like that?W: Yeah. And I was an English major, so I have to do a lot of that. But catch on quickly and you just learn. Are you taking a lot of courses? Because if you overload yourself, you know, right away, it can be difficult.2.W: So, I was just in San Francisco and…M: Nice.W: I know. I love that town.

But during the 1968 Mexico City Olympic, three runners performed such great acts that race is considered a truly historic event. One of the runners, Abebe Bikila from Ethiopia, is famous for having won the Olympic marathons at the Rome and Tokyo games. He hoped to win a third in Mexico City. Bikila was really strong as he began the marathon. But at the third of the way into the race he suddenly dropped out. He’d been suffering from a pain in his left leg a nd could run no more. Mamo Wolde, another Ethiopian runner saw Bikila drop out and immediately poured on the speed as if he was filling his fallen teammate's shoes. Wolde gave Ethiopia its third marathon victory. But the drama of this marathon did not end when Wolde crossed the finishing line. A little more than an hour later, word was passed to the remaining audience that the last runner of marathon was arriving. Into the stadium, came Akhwari of Tanzania, his leg was bloody and bandaged. Moving with pain at every step, he pressed on and finally got passed the finishing line. The crowd cheered as if this last runner had been the winner.4.M: Hey, Lucy. I have a question I’d like to ask you.W: Yes, go ahead.M: Well, don’t laugh but I met this really nice woman from online music group. I need some advice. You see, Claudia…W: Ok.

What should you do when you greet someone for the first time in Germany? W: Well, it depends upon your relationship with the person. Now, speaking of your girlfriend Claudia…M: Hey, hey, I didn’t say she was my girlfriend.W: Oh, OK OK. Now, if you’re meeting someone for the first time like Claudia’s parents,M: Ok. So arrive on time. What about common greetings?W: Well, Germans often shake hands and they use the person’s family name unless they are really close friends.M: Ok. What about with Claudia?W: Uh, you can call her Claudia, shake hands and why don’t you take her some flowers? 5.Rainforests are the lungs of the planet – storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfe ct system for guaranteeing their own survival; the tall trees make a cover of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, dry heat and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is a deliberate method to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects. To survive in the forest, animals must climb from tree to tree. The ground floor of the forest is not all covered with leaves and bushes, but is where leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can produce 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal – and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet.6.W: Hello?M: Hello. Is that 8821199?W: It is. Jane speaking.M: Oh, are you… I mean I’d like to speak to the secretary of the readers’ club?W: Yes, speaking.M: Oh, oh. Hello. My name is Denis. I am interested in joining the readers’ club.

I mean…W: Well, there’s the club evenings for instance once a month, usually Wednesdays from 8 till about 10.M: And where do you hold them?W: The location, it’s usually the Beach Hotel. Do you know it?M: Yes, I think I do. Do you have any other interest groups? I kinda like the computer thing. W: There you are then. The club’s got a computer group that practices every Friday afternoon. M: What’s the procedure? I mean if I decide to join the group? How do I go about it? W: You can write to the chairman. His name is Hosegood, H-O-S-E, and then good.M: Yes.W: Initial p Address 3 Play Hills Road Aquaton.M: Thank you very much. You’ve been very helpful.5、湖北卷1. M: Excuse me.

M: I hear a businessman is building a dog park in our city.W: Really? What for?M: Obviously because there’s a law against having dogs in the streets.W: Does it mean that dogs have to stay at home all the time?M: Sounds pretty cruel, right? Maybe a dog park is a good idea.W: Maybe they should just allow people to walk their dogs in the streets.M: But then streets could be a mess.W: Couldn’t people clean up after their dogs?M: Would they?8. W: Mr. Parker, when did you arrive home yesterday evening?M: At about 8 o’clock.W: What did you do right after you entered your flat?M: Well, I washed my hands and then watched sports news.W: When did you have supper?M: At about a quarter to nine, I guess.W: Did you stay at home all evening?M: Yes.W: But your friend says that he found you several times between 8 and 9. But you didn’t answer.M: Well, I think I was in the bath at that time.W: No, you weren’t. You were not even at home last night. You robbed a bank in James Street.9. M: Hi, mom.W: There you are.

Linda didn’t run her over.M: Then a policeman came. But he didn’t believe what Linda said.W: Well...M: Luckily there was a witness, a man waiting for a bus. He saw it all. Guess what the old lady was doing?W: I haven’t the slightest idea.M: She was looking for her gold tooth.W: A gold tooth?M: Yes, it fell out as she was crossing the road. The witness heard her saying, "Oh, my gold tooth..."10. In my spoken English class, I asked the students about their impressions of their university life. To my surprise, many of them expressed disappointment. After their highly controlled high school lives, they were having difficulty adjusting to the free time in the university. When I asked them to describe their high school lives, many of them told me they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten at night. Most of this time was spent at school, doing piles of homework to help them prepare for the university entrance exams. Once they entered the university, in my opinion, the students are not expected to devote all their waiting hours to studying, they should also take an active part in social activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their time outside of the class between sports and clubs. What’s more, they should spend some time watching TV and chatting with their roommates. These activities are useful in helping them prepare for their future. But what struck me most was that many of them did not seem particularly happy about their new found freedom. As they had so many choices, they felt that no matter what they were doing, they should be doing something else. That’s why they were not happy.To those students, my advice was, get used to it and learn to make decisions for yourselves.6、湖南卷(Text 1)M: How much do I need to pay?W: Let me see.

But during the 1968 Mexico CityOlympic, three runners performed such great acts that race is considered a truly historic event. One of the runners, Abebe Bikila from Ethiopia, is famous for having won the Olympic marathons at the Rome and Tokyo games. He hoped to win a third in Mexico City. Bikila was really strong as he began the marathon. But at the third of the way into the race he suddenly dropped out. He’d been suffering from a pain in his left leg and could run no more. Mamo Wolde, another Ethiopian runner saw Bikila drop out and immediately poured on the speed as if he was filling his fallen teammate’s shoes. Wolde gave Ethiopia its third marathon victory. But the drama of this marathon did not end when Wolde crossed the finishing line. A little more than an hour later, wordwas passed to the remaining audience that the last runner of marathon was arriving. Into the stadium, came Akhwari of Tanzania, his leg was bloody and bandaged. Moving with pain at every step, he pressed on and finally got passed the finishing line. The crowd cheered as if this last runner had been the winner.4.M: Hey, Lucy.

What about with Claudia?W: Uh, you can call her Claudia, shake hands and why don’t you take her some flowers?5.Rainforests are the lungs of the planet – storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world’s oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for guaranteeing their own survival; the tall trees make a cover of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, dry heat and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is a deliberate method to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects. To survive in the forest, animals must climb from tree to tree. The ground floor of the forest is not all covered with leaves and bushes, but is where leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can produce 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal – and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet.6.W: Hello?M: Hello. Is that 8821199?W: It is.

Text 2M: Lucy is going back to China next month, Alice.W: Oh, really.M: And she will not take Rachel this time. Text 3W: I hate to say it, but Jackie isn’t do ing well in the film.M: Well, I only think he is playing a different type of role, but my sister thinks he is still the best.Text 4M: Professor Miners, could I talk to you about my paper?W: Sure, come to my office between two to three. It’s Room 340.Text 5W: OK, time to go home.M: I can’t, because I haven’t finished the report about the newly opened restaurant. W: Well, if you carry on working like that, you’ll make yourself ill.Text 6M: I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where have you been?W: I went to New York to visit my sister and stayed there for two months. Actually, I really went to meet my new nephew.M: That’s great! How old is he?W: Well, he was five months old when I got there and he could possibly be the most beautiful baby I’ve ever se en.M: What do you do when you’re in your sister’s home?W: I helped the baby and played with him a lot which was nice, but what I enjoyed most was beating him.Text 7M: Air pollution is so bad in this city.

People have to go to work by car.M: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things.

I remembered that many of you said you liked the American writer Ernest Hemingway, right? I hope you all followed my advice and finished reading his story “A Day’s Wait”, because as I said we’re going to study it together in today’s lesson. Now, since you’re supposed to have read the story, let’s have some discussion. Please look at the four questions on the blackboard. First, when and where does the story take place? Second, what does the boy wait for in the story? And what kind of person does he show himself to be? Third, what kind of person is the b oy’s father?

Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these 21 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents. It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 27 . However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back. You could 30the Changeling on the fire--then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.21.

试述推进消防监督执法规范化建设作者:王从刚来源:消防支队点击:282 发布时间:2012/3/16 11:56:25 【字体:大中小】【打印内容】--------------------------------------------------------------------------------近年来,在党中央、国务院和公安部党委及地方各级党委、政府、公安机关的领导下,全国公安消防部门深入贯彻落实《消防法》和国务院[2006]15号文件,深入开展“防火墙”工程和“三抓三树”、“立警为公、执法为民”等主题实践活动,积极回应人民群众的新期待,全力满足人民群众对消防工作的新要求,公共消防安全水平和消防队伍正规化建设水平明显提升,有力地促进了消防执法质量、执法水平和执法能力的提高,人民群众的满意度明显上升。
但是随着社会经济的不断发展,对消防监督执法工作提出了更高的标准和要求,消防执法工作还存在一些不适应、不符合的问题。
因此,全力推进消防执法规范化建设,进一步提高消防执法水平,不断满足人民群众对公平正义的新期待,是各级公安消防部队义不容辞的职责。
分析研究当前消防行政执法规范化建设中存在的突出问题及原因,寻找解决问题的对策和措施,具有十分重要的现实意义。
一、当前消防监督执法规范化建设存在的主要问题(一)政府重视不够,制约了执法规范化建设的进程。
一些地方政府在消防执法中“重视不足,干预有余”的现象比较突出。
《消防法》明确规定消防工作由地方各级人民政府负责。
但在实际工作中,地方政府未能真正履行消防工作职能,“无意识的放弃”法律责任,消防工作全由公安消防机构独挡一面,往往造成孤掌难鸣的被动局面。
公安消防机构孤军奋战,举步维艰,导致消防监督力度弱化,消防法律、法规得不到有效的贯彻执行。
甚至于有的地方政府领导妨碍消防监督执法,要求降低处罚,不能关停等,更多的强调经济发展,而忽视了消防安全。
(二)消防监督执法中存在问题,牵制了执法规范化建设的进展。

Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these 21 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents. It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby‟s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father‟s clothes were just two of the recommended 27 . However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back.

But during the 1968 Mexico CityOlympic, three runners performed such great acts that race is considered a truly historic event.

Rainforests have their own perfect system for guaranteeing their own survival; the tall trees make a cover of branches and leaves which protect themselves, smaller plants, and the forest animals from heavy rain, dry heat and strong winds.Amazingly, the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches, although close together, never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is a deliberate method to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf-eating insects. To survive in the forest, animals must climb from tree to tree. The ground floor of the forest is not all covered with leaves and bushes, but is where leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can produce 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal – and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain. In just two hours, streams can rise ten to twenty feet.6.W: Hello?M: Hello. Is that 8821199?W: It is.
