Lots of kids at the same age as you are. Not only are students in China 16 from this problem, but kids in the United States are 17 fed up with heavy school bags.Experts are starting to 18 that more and more young students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags 19 too heavy for them. “It’s hard for me to get up the 20 with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rich Hammond,21 11-year-old student in the US. Rich is among the students who have _22 backpackswith two straps(带子) to carry them, 23 a number of other students choose rolling backpacks. But even with rolling backpacks, 24 up stairs and buses with them is 25a problem for kids. Many of them have hurt their knees, backs or necks because ofheavy school bags.But how much is too 26 ? Experts say students should carry 27 more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight. Scott Bautch, a Wisconsin 28 doctor, said kids under 4th grade should 29 with 10 percent. But it’s also important that older kids don’t go 30 15 percent, because their bones are still growing. Bautch explained that there are other injuries caused by backpacks. “Kids are 31 their balance and falling down with these backpacks,” he said.Parents and teachers are starting to tell the kids to only take 32 library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using worksheets or 33 workbooks for students to take home. One of the best answers is, as some 34 themselves suggested, to have no homework 35 !16.

Mother’s Day will probably be a slow quarter, too.”US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion, with consumers spending an average of $17.65, according to the National Federation estimates.Mother’s Day, which accounts for a one-quarter of annual holiday purchases, according to the Society of American Florists, is traditionally the day when flowers are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers.But this year, the shop-owners are concerned. Gabriel Soto, who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los financial district, is expecting lower sales — and has or dered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day.Last month, Soto, who also operates website , closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.36. The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means_______.A. sharp decrease in priceB. great fear for losing jobsC. global worry of floral storesD. sudden fall by a large amount.37. According to the author, Mother’s Day should be an occasion of_______ .A. a large family get-togetherB. a big annual holiday purchaseC. a great love showed to mothersD. a celebration among Americans38. This passage implies that Americans have ________ .A. met financial problems recentlyB. no longer bought flowers for mothersC. delivered flowers to every house for mothersD. cut back on spending because of having lost jobsBMany university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization. The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students.Property papers: Loot and RentingLoot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: . The advantage of using Loot is that there is some economical private housing. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is www. renting. couk.Accommodation agenciesThe majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. If you are lucky to find a good one, he/ she will listen to your requirements and can save your time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.NoticeboardsAround the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.Word of mouthSome of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.FamilyFaced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.39. What is the advantage of using Loot?A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters.C. Their website is designed mainly for students.D. There are some good bargains.40. A good agent can help you_______.A. know more peopleB. find cheap accommodationC. get the right accommodation quicklyD. get free information about most accommodations41.The information passed on by word of mouth is important because_________.A. it is better than that found through any other sourceB. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertisedC. the final year students always offer better informationD. the landlords have little valuable informationCThey wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories（配饰）. Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies.A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.Professor Julia Twiggy, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s. In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter. It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years — now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to. Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly.”Professor Twiggy analyzed family expending data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same —about 5 or 6 percent of spending — the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.The professor said, “Clothes are now 70 perce nt cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East. In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere. Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.”Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity style than in previous years.She said, "When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them. Older women are much more aware of celebrities. There's also the boom in TV programmers showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties. When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago. "42. Professor Twiggy found that, compared with the 1960s, ____________________.A. people spend 30% less than they did on clothesB. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%C. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%D. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%43. It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because ____.A. they get tired of themselves more quicklyB. TV shows teach them how to stay in shapeC. they feel much younger nowD. clothes are much cheaper than before44. What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?A. They are often ignored by fashion designers.B. They are now more easily influenced by stars.C. They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age.45. Which is the best possible title of the passage?A. Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans.B. The More Fashionable, the Less Expensive.C. Unexpected changes in Fashion.D. Boom of the British Fashion Industry.四．七选五 (共10分，每题2分)46 One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 47 Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 48 All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.49 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them. 50 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself?

Like a border conflict between neighboring countries ,the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace ,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict . In part ,this is because neither is willing to admit .any responsibility for starting it . From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course .the teens see it in exactly the same way , except oppositely . Both feel trappedIn this article. I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things . Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom ,the preferred style of clothing , the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school ,or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends .Second ,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong . Third , needing to be right ,It doesn’t matter what the topic is –politics. The taws of physics ,or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong .for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately , as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they kn ow more than the other ,they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress31. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations .B. Both are about where to draw the lineC. Neither has any clear winnerD. Neither can be put to an end32. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflictC. The teens acouse their parents of misleading themD. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents33.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.A. give orders to the otherB. know more than the otherC. gain respect from the otherD.get the other to behave properly34. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent –teen conflictsB. Examples of the parent –teen war.C. Solutions for the parent –teen problemsD. Future of the parent-teen relationshipBI was being interviewed by a senior manager for a big company. I told him honestly that the principal reason that I was interviewing with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife had recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some pain for my 16-year-old daughter and me. It was important to me to keep her present high school.Bruce, the interviewer, was politely kind, but he didn't search any further. He acknowledged(承认) my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of interviews, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had 3 children. I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had and it was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a loved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, should I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help.From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea if we could ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of life's greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview process into an act of earing and supporting for another person in a time of extreme need.35. According to the passage, the interviewer, Bruce, was very .A. generousB. kindC. happyD. mean36. The underlined word "principal" in the first paragraph probably means .A. mainB. unimportantC. necessaryD. possible37. We can infer from this passage that .A. the writer didn't get the job in the companyB. Bruce made the writer pass the interviewC. another manager also lost his wifeD. the business interview was cold38 Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. The writer's daughter was studying in Boston at that time.B. Both the writer and the interviewer experienced the same pain.C. Bruce was a senior manager of a big firm.D. Bruce wanted to make Mends with him because he gave him his business card and home phone number.CWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of m y mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously , did not give her goodservice , pretended not to understand her , or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan..”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two week long?.”And then, in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rath er concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.39．From Paragorph 2, we know that the author was .A. good at pretendingB. rude to the stockbrokerC. unwilling to phone for her motherD. ready to help her mother 40．After the author made the phone call, .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they went to New York immediatelyC .they failed to get the check D. they spoke to their boss at once41．What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C .It helps her tolerate rude people. D. It helps her understand the world.42．We can inter from the passage that Chinese English .A. is clear and natural to non-native speakersB. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC. may bring inconvenience in AmericaD. has a very bad reputation in AmericaDThat “Monday morning feeling” could be a crushing pain in t he chest which leaves you sweating and gasping for breath. Recent research from Germany and Italy shows that heart attacks are more common on Monday mornings and doctors blame the stress of returning to work after the weekend break.The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but asix-year study helped by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans showed that the average person had a 20 per cent higher chance of having a heart attack on a Monday than on any other day.Working Germans are particularly not protected against attack, with a 33 per cent higher risk at the beginning of the working week. Non-workers, by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day.A study of 11,000 Italians proved 8 am on a Monday morning as the most stressful time for the heart, and both studies showed that Sunday is the least stressful day, with fewer heart attacks in both countries.The findings could lead to a better understanding of what is the immediate cause of heart attacks, according to Dr Stefan Willich of the Free University. “We know a lot about long-term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol（胆固醇）but we don’t know what actually causes heart attacks, so we can’t give clear advice on how to prevent them,” he said.Monday mornings have a double helping of stress for the working body as it makes a rapid change from sleep to activity, and from the relaxing weekend to the pressures of work.“When people get up, their blood pressure and heart rate go up and there are hormonal （内分泌）changes in their bodies,” Willich explained. “All these things can have an unfavourable effect in the blood system and increase the risk of a clot（血凝块）in the arteries（动脉）which will cause a heart attack.”“When people return to work after a weekend off, the pace of their life changes. They have a higher workload, more stress, more anger and more physical activity,” said Willich.43．Monday morning feeling, as this passage shows, .A. is not so serious as people thoughtB. is harmful to working people in developed countries.C. is the first killer in Germany and Italy.D. is created by researchers in Germany and Italy44 To protect people from suffering from heart attack, doctors have paid muchattention to .A. people’s working timeB. people’s living placeC. people’s diet and lifestyleD. people’s nationalities45．It can be learned from this passage that heart attack has nothing to do with .A. blood pressureB. heart rateC. hormonal changesD. blood group46．If the researchers give us some advice to avoid Monday morning feeling, what might it be?A. Stop working on MondayB. Create a pleasant working environmentC. Get up late on Monday morningD. Go to work with a doctorEThe huge Florida wetland known as the Everglades is a slow-moving river 80 kilometres wide but only a few centimeters deep. People call the Everglades a “river of grass” because sawgrass covers most of it. Sawgrass is not really grass. It is a plant thathas leaves edged with tiny sharp teeth that can easily cut through clothes—and skin! Travel in the Everglades is difficult. You cannot walk through shallow water because the sawgrass will cut you. The water is too shallow for regular boats. So, we use an airboat. An airboat is a flat, open boat. Like an airplane, it has a big propeller to move it. The propeller is fixed on the rear of the boat. It makes a tremendous noise, but it does the job. The boat skims along the water’s surface. Although we can still get lost in an airboat, at least we are above the alligators(短吻鳄). While hundreds of different kinds of animals live in the Everglades, the most famous is surely the alligator. Once endangered, alligators are now protected within Everglades National Park. Visitors are likely to see them both on land and in water. For a long time, dangers have threatened the Everglades. Around 1900, some people felt this precious wetland should be drained (排干). They said it was just a big swamp and not good for anything. In the 1920s, there was a land boom in Florida. People wanted to build homes everywhere, including in the Everglades. They built canals, levees (防洪堤) , and other water systems that stopped the rivers flowing into the Everglades. Factories were built near rivers that flowed into the wetland. These factories dumped poisonous waste that damaged the Everglades ecosystem.People are now working to preserve the Everglades National Park for the future. Right now, one big problem is the paperbark tree. This tree is an invader from Australia.Paperbark trees soak up a lot of water. In the early 1900s, people brought them to Florida because they thought they would help drain the Everglades. However, the invaders adapted too well. Paperbark trees have taken over hundreds of thousands of acres of the Everglades and killed other trees. Scientists are cutting down these invaders or spraying them with herbicides (除草剂) to kill them.47 Which helps to explain why it is difficult to travel in Everglades?A. Airboats may make a very big noise.B. You may get lost when passing through.C. Paperbark trees soak up too much water there.D. Many different kinds of animals are to be protected.48. Why do people use airboats instead of normal boats?A. They have big propellers to move them faster than alligators.B. The propeller makes loud noise so as to scare alligators.C. Their flat bottom can skim along the water surface.D. They can watch alligators without hurting them.49. The following measures were taken to drain the Everglades except that people______.A. built canals and levees to stop the rivers flowing into EvergladesB. built factories near rivers that flowed into the wetlandC. brought Paperbark to soak up water in EvergladesD. are cutting down these Paperbark trees50 The underlined word "invader" probably means something______.A. that moves in from another placeB. that enters and takes controlC. that has been brought inD. that is in danger第三部分书面表达（共两节，满分35分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）When traveling abroad, one must remember Dorothy's famous words that you're not in Kansas any more. There are many dangers that one can face in a new and different environment and the best way to protect yourself is to be well aware of possible 'dangers before you depart.Here are a few tips to ensure a safe and pleasant trip.Read up on what the State Department has to say.

Recently her parents 16 her to town to live with them. Wild and uneducated, she would use 17 words when she was angry. Sometimes she went so far as to 18 on the ground, to the 19 of all people around. Her parents tried to 20 her by beating and kicking. However, she became more 21 . Finally they became thoroughly 22 with her.One day their next-door 23 , a retired teacher, gave the girl a snow-white dress, which was very 24 . It immediately caught the girl’s 25 and made them shine brightly.The girl put on the dress and became quite a 26 person. She no longer acted rudely or hit others. She 27 seldom rolled on the floor.

He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon, the evening pap er landed on the doorway, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile. He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.36. Bill Javis became a news-agent when _______.A. he needed the moneyB. he was quite an old manC. he decided to take up fishingD. he gave up clock-repairing37. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because _______.A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to workB. the shop had to be open when the morning papers cameC. he was never sure of timeD. it was then that he did a lot of business38. From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?A. The bell was－it must have gone off at the wrong time.B. Bill was－he had dropped off to sleep.C. The writer’s watch was －it was fast.D. Bill’s clock was－it was old.BEven before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes.I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hold the bar with my other elbow （肘）. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung （横档）I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.39. Which can be used to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child peel potatoes?A. cruel.B. favorable.C. strict.D. sympathetic.40. From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ______.A. the strength and skill to hang and swayB. the speed of one’s hand movementC. the skill to throw and catch thingsD. the bodily skill to rotate round a bar41.

The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.D.

The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ______.A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weepB. the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her ownC. Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraphD. in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growthC“The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.”“Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.”“Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.”To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,”says Pythagoras, “begins with foolishness and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking too.44. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Self- control is important for a man.B. We should learn to be strong.C. A man who keeps cool won’t lose any game.D. The great heroes in history knew how to control themselves.45. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.C. If you can’t control yourself, you will be crazy.D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.46. Which of the following is NOT true, according to passage?A. The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself.B. You will make a small mistake serious if you don’t keep cool.C. You must measure a man’s strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him.D. Anger begins with foolishness and ends with regret.47. Which of the following can’t help you avoid anger, according to the passage?A. Being calm in arguing.B. Checking your temper or anger by speaking low.C. Keeping your mouth shut.D. Trying to make the other angry first.DGlobal warming threatens to hold back human progress, and make unachievable all UN targets to reduce poverty, according to some of the world’s leading international development groups.In a report published today, Oxfam, Greenpeace, Christian Aid, Friends of the Earth, WWF and 15 other groups say rich governments must immediately address climate change to avoid even “unbearable levels” of worldwide poverty.“Food production, water supplies, public health and people’s living environment ar e already being damaged,” the report says. “The world must meet its promise to achieve poverty reduction and also deal with climate change.”The report, which draws on UN predictions of the effects of climate change in poor countries over the next 50 years, says poor countries will experience more flooding, declining food production, more disease and the worsening or disappearing of entire ecosystems on which many of the world’s poorest people depend.“Climate change needs to be addressed now. The poor will bear the burden of it. The frontline experience of many of us working in international development indicates that communities are having to fight against more extreme weather conditions.”Climate change will play havoc (浩劫) with agriculture and water supplies and will increase diseases. “By 2025 the proportion of the world’s population living in countries of great water stress will almost double, to 6 billion people. Tropical and sub-tropical areas will be hardest hit —those countries already suffering from food shortage”.Poor countries mostly do not need high-tech solutions, but would most benefit from education, research and being shown how to farm better. The report says unchecked global warming, more than wars or political confusion, will displace millions of people and destabilize (不安定) many countries.48. Who should play a leading role in resisting the more extreme weather conditions?A. International groups.B. Rich countries.C. Poor countries.D. Tropical and sub-tropical countries.49. Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. Poverty and climate change are closely linked.B. More and more people will suffer from the water stress and food shortage.C. What the poor countries need badly is high technology.D. International communities have to take steps to resist the bad climate.50. What is the best title of the passage?A. International Development Brings in Climate ChangeB. Global Warming Is a Bigger Threat to the PoorC. International Groups Work Together to Reduce PovertyD.
