So, Shanghai was responsible for cleaning and protecting the lower reaches of the Chang Jiang River but had no say in how the river’s upper reaches, which feed into Shanghai, are maintained.The new law will make it easier to control the amount of waste that ends up in local rivers and reduce inefficient use of waterways, said Zhang Jia-yi, director of the Shanghai Water Affairs Bureau, on the bureau’s website commenting on law yesterday.Zhang said the new law focuses on the efficient use of water sources and emphasizes the harmonious(和谐) development of China’s population, its economy and environment.Zhang also emphasizes the city will crack down on companies and individuals that pollute the city’s water sources. The bureau sets up a special force to investigate(调查) water pollution in March.So far this year, the bureau has published more than 3 million in fines on various polluters, Zhang said.36. The best title for the news report should be ______.A. A new Law Is BornB. A New Water Law to Protect RiversC. Is it Necessary to Protect the RiversD. Make Full Use of Water Sources37. The underlined phrase “crack down on”means _____.A. bring up carefullyB. speak highly ofC. deal with seriouslyD. destroy completely38. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The law in 1988 is suitable for the new requirements.B. The new law will stop waste being poured into the Chang Jiang River.C. A lot of polluting units have been fined this year.D. The new law and the old one are the same in protecting the environment.39. We can infer from the passage that _____ .A. the problem of protecting the water sources wasn’t paid much attention toB. no laws were carried out to manage the water sources in Shanghai.C. the new law mainly emphasizes how to make use of the water sources.D. companies or individuals that polluted the water sources didn’t get fined.B ★★The winter holidays are a special time at the White House. Each year, about 44,000 people come to see the holiday decorations or to attend holiday parties at the President’s home in Washington, D.C.I was able to attend a press preview of the holiday decorations recently, which was hosted by First Lady Laura Bush. This year’s theme for the decorations is “All Things Bright and Beautiful.”The decorations are all made of fresh flowers, garlands(花环), and fruits. The flowers will have to be changed every few days to keep the look fresh.The main Christmas tree is in the Blue Room. It’s an 18-foot fir tree—tall enough that the chan-delier(吊灯) had to be removed to make room for it. Fresh white lilies(百合), crystal garlands, and white lights decorate the White House Christmas tree. The room smells of pine and lilies.Mrs. Bush was asked whether she called the tree a holiday tree or a Christmas tree. “We know that Americans celebrate the season in a lot of different ways,”she said. “We’ll have a party and a reception here at the White House later during the month. But I think we’ve always called this the White House Christmas tree.”Another centerpiece of the decorations each year is the gingerbread house(姜饼屋), made by chief Thaddeus Dubois.“This is his second gingerbread house,”Mrs. Bush said. “And this year Dubois painstakingly(辛苦地,辛勤地) made it special.”The gingerbread house was made with 100 pounds of gingerbread, 150 pounds of white and dark chocolate, and clear, poured sugar windows. A strand of white lights inside the Gingerbread White House made it glow.40. Mrs. Bush chose “All Things Bright and Beautiful”as the theme for the decorations to______. .A. highlight nature’s beautyB. show the great wealth of the familyC. express her love of the countryD. differ from other people’s ideas41. Which of the following can probably be used to describe the White House after thedecorations?A. New and clean.B. Elegant(高贵的) and beautiful.C. Smelly and shaky.D. Luxurious(豪华的) and serious.42. The passage is mainly about ______. .A. how Americans observe ChristmasB. decorating the White House for holidaysC. the differences between a holiday tree and a Christmas treeD. how to select a present for the White HouseC ★★During recent years, floods and flash floods have caused billions of dollars in damage each year. They are among the most common and widespread of all natural disasters. Even more importantly, they’re No.1 weather-related killer. A flood can happen anywhere along the Mississippi, in New England, even in the desert.The following are some fascinating facts about floods and flash floods.A flood(commonly called river flood)is high flow of water from a river or similar body of water, happening over a period of time too long to be considered a flash flood. Flooding is caused in many ways. Winter or spring rains, together with melting snows, can fill rivers too quickly. Heavy rains from hurricanes or other tropical(热带的)systems can also produce river flooding. The Mississippi River Flood of 1993 was caused by repeated heavy rain from thunderstorms over a period of weeks.Flash floods are quickly-rising floods which are usually the result of heavy rains over a short period of time, often only several hours or even less. They can also be caused by ice jams (冰塞)on rivers related to a winter or spring melting, or occasionally even a dam break. The constant influx(汇集)of water finally caused a great overflow to begin, powerful enough to sweep vehicles away, roll big stones into roadways, uproot trees, level(夷平)buildings, and knock bridges down. The speed of the rising of water is the most frightening.Do remember: Move to higher ground and stay away from low areas during heavy rain. Stay out of flooded areas. Never allow children especially to play or walk in flowing water. Never drive your car into water of unknown depths.43. What is the best title for the passage?A. The power of floodsB. The damage of floodsC. The occurrence of floodsD. The facts about floods44. The last paragraph is mainly about ______ .A. flood safety tipsB. the reasons for floodsC. the waste water systemsD. the swift flood waters45. According to the passage, people are afraid of _____ most during flash floods.A. the constant influx of waterB. the sudden occurrence of flash floodsC. the quick rising waterD. the great damage of flash floods46. According to the passage, flash floods are ______.A. great floods resulted from heavy rains in a short timeB. floods rising quickly from heavy rains in a short timeC. quickly-rising floods in a long timeD. floods happening over a long timeD ★★★In 1990 Peter Salovey Ph. D and John Mayer Ph. D coined the term Emotional Intelligence.Their research has opened many people’s eyes to the fact that EQ or emotional quotient holds the key to one’s happiness and well being, and helped us to realize that our emotional makeup can be so much more important than our mental, or what we refer to as IQ—intelligent quotient.IQ is essential for learning and mental development and EQ is much more important for happiness and success. Some time ago a study done in the United States proved that doctors who were impatient and did not exhibit much care towards their patients were more likely to be sued (起诉) for malpractice(渎职), whereas doctors who were caring and attentive to their patients were less likely to be sued even if they made a critical mistake. A woman wrote to newspaper recently telling about her brother. He was apparently a genius but did not get along with people, quit every job he started, and eventually became a taxi driver. These are just a few examples of people with high IQ but low EQ.We have all known people who did not complete college, but who have become very successful in business. We call them street smart. We also know people who, on the whole, are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive—these people enjoy a high level of EQ.Many people wish to improve their EQ for the purpose of becoming happier, more successful, and at the same time more balanced, individuals. The remarkable thing about EQ is that it can always, at any age, be improved, unlike IQ, which remains more or less fixed in adult life.Now psychologists start workshops focusing on showing people how to increase their EQ. This enables them to accomplish their dreams and desires, rid themselves of negative patterns and shows them that once they master their inner world, their outer world becomes much better.47. In the second paragraph, the author gives us two examples to show that_____. .A. doctors in the United States are often involved in casesB. working as a taxi driver in the United States requires high EQC. those with high IQ are often engaged in the low-rank workD. those with low EQ have a harder time surviving in life48. Which of the following can’t be used to describe the people with a high level of EQ?A. They are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive.B. They are optimistic and untroubled by difficulties.C. They are impatient and show little care towards others.D. They may be very successful in business.49. It can be inferred that predicting future successes, ______.A. a person’s brainpower might actually matter less than a person’s characterB. a person’s IQ might be more important than a person’s EQC. IQ plays an important role as well as EQD. both IQ and EQ are the key points that should be considered50. Which of following is NOT true according to the passage?A. People with high IQ are likely to gain knowledge quickly.B. At work EQ gets you hired easily and IQ gets you promoted.C. Having a high IQ will help us in some ways but having a high EQ might help useven more.D. People’s EQ could be raised much more than their IQ.单词拼写1.Kids get____________(难为情)if their mums kiss them in front of their friends.2.There were no signs that the fire had been set____________(故意地).3.She____________(发誓)that she hadn’t told anyone,but her friends still didn’t forgive her. 4.He’s still____________(犹豫)about joining the expedition.5.His recent behavior____________(使困惑)me.6.Don’t be so m____________to your brother.Give him some chocolates.7.Harry awkwardly a____________to the lady for stepping on her left foot.8.I told him it was a bad idea,but Dave’s so s____________that he just never listens. 9.My tooth hurts badly,and I want to see my d____________.10.He was so a____________in thought that he didn’t hear what you said.11.You are 18 years old and you should pay attention to your____________(behave).12.He’s always____________(anxiety)about his mother’s health.用所给动词的适当形式填空1..This sentence needs ______(improve).2I can do nothing but _________(watch )TV.1.I think it wise _________ (ask )him for advise.2.The squrrel was so lucky that it just missed _______(catch)She pretended ___________(not see)me when参考答案:1-5 BABBD 6-10 BDDCC 11-15 DCBCB 16-20 ABCDC 21-25 BABBA 26-30 BACAD 31-35 DACDC 36-40 BCACA 41-45 BBDAC 46-50 BDCAB。
