at the annual meeting of the Internationak Whaling commission(Iwc).Yet the possible return of commercial whaling across the world’s oceans still worries conservationists.At the IWC gathering in Ulsan,Korea,which ended today,Japan failed in its bid to life a ban on commercial whaling.But IWC members agreed to meet again to reconsider the issue with a view to ending the 19-year moratorium.In the wake of this latest impasse,some groups have called for the IWC to be reformed.Among those voicing criticism was Rune Frovik,secretary of the High North Alliabce,which represents fisherman and whalers in Nordic countries. “It’s just conflict all the time, ”he told the BBC . “They say they want to continue with a process,but in fact they are blocking progress. ”Despite setbacks for pro-whaling nations,such as Japan and Norway,they managed to further undermine the IWC:The countries indicated they will press ahead with plans to increase the nummber of whales killed under the rubric of scientific research programs.Japan signalled its intention to double its annual scientific catch of minke whales to about 900.It also aims to hunt 50 fin and humpback whales-species conservationists say are threatened.The commission criticized those plans and shot down Japan’s bid to allow communities on its northern Pacific coast to hunt 150 minke whales a year.It al so rejected Japan’s push to abolish the whale sanctuary in what many refer to as the S outhern Ocean-the Indian,Atlantic,and Pacific Ocean regions that sueeound Antarctica.The International Whaling Commission was formed in 1946 to whaling and to conserve the world ’s largest living animals.In 1982,with many whale populations close to extinction following centuries of exploitation,IWC member nations agreed to a ban on all commercial whaling.While the ban remains in effect,Japan,Norway,Iceland,and Greenland continue to hunt limited numbers of whales.The mammals are killed either as food for local consumption or for scientific purpose.Since 1994,the IWC has sought to negotiate a sustainable commercial whaling strategy to replacethe ban.Pro-whaling nations say it’s time for their proposal,known as the Revised Management Scheme(RMS),to be implemented.Japan has threatened to quit the IWC if the plan isn’t=====WORD 完整版----可编辑----专业资料分享=====adopted.Anti-whaling groups,such as the Wale and Dolphin Conservation Society based in Chippenham,England,oppose the RMS.Groups say the scheme wouldn’t detect,prevent,or penalize whaling violations and would jeopardize endangered whale populations.“Those that believe whaling can be broughe under control have had their eyes closed to the past century, ”said Niki Entrup of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.Entrup added that the whaling that has occurred,despite the current moratorium,shows that countries like Japan do not respect the decisions of the IWC.Currently Japan kills about 400 whales a year under the rubic of scientific research.Such programs don't fall within IWC jurisdicton.Norway has also set a quota to kill nearly 800 minke whales this summer.The nation is also considering scientific whaling of other species in future.Wildlife groups say most of the whales hunted under the aegis of scientific research end up being sold as food.Conservationists add that researches don ’t need to kill a w hale to study it.Non-lethal biopsy darts can potentially tell researchers as much about a whale ’s age, sex, diet, reproductive status, and genetics as a carcass can, argues Sue Lieberman, director of the Global Species Program for Conservation of the nonprofit World Wildlife Fund.“I think what this is about is the commercial market fot whale meat in Japan,”she said.However,Japan argues that a total ban on commercial buntinh is no longer justified. The nation says whale populations have recovered in the past two decades and that sustainable harvests are now possible. Japan notes that the IWC ’s scienific committee agrees that humpback whale nummbers are increasing by around 10 precent each year.The committee ’s most recent estimate also suggests that as many as a million minke whales live arrounf Antarctica alone.Surveys by the North Atlanic Marine Mammals Commission, based in Tromso, Norway, suggest minke whale numbers are either stable or increasing in all ares of the North Atlantic. The commission says current whaling quotas present no threat to the species.Joji Morishita, head of the Japanese IWC delegation, says the Revised Management Scheme, together with monitoring and inspection, would ensure regulated, sustainable whaling.“Science and law should prevail over emotions, ”he said. Japan’s Fisheries Ministry accuses nations opposed to any commercial whaling of“cultural imperialism.”Officicals ask how Australia and the United States would t a ke to being told they couln ’t hunt kangaroons or deer.As a cheap source of protein, whale meat became a staple in Japan after World War II. Authorities are currently promoting whale meat to younger gernations who are more used to Western-style fooda. In the wester coastal region of Wakeyama, Japan, around 280 schools are being supplied with whale meat. Education officials say they are trying to rekindle a centurues-old culinary tradition. And this week a Japanese fast-food chain, Lucky Pierrot, announced that it's putting whale burgers on it menus.Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage?TRUE FALSE NOT GIVEN if the statement agrees with the textif the statement contradicts with the text if no imformation is given1. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) has decided to contiue with a ban on commercialwhaling,but may change that policy in the future.4. Japan, Norway, Iceland, and Greenland are breaking international law by killing whales for localfood consumption and scientific purposes.5. The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society was formed no oppose the RMS proposed byJapan and other whaling countries.6. Norway has increased its quota of whales to kill to 800 this year.----完整版学习资料分享 ----7. Wildlife groups claim that whales are hunted mainly for food, not for scientific research.8.

Rich and poor，young and old，one can see them all there，shouting for one side or the other.To a stranger，one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he expects will win such a match，and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.Most schools in England take football seriously—much more seriously than nearly all European schools，where lessons are all that are important，and games are left for the children themselves. In England，it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in classroom，it also means the training of character by means of games，especially team games，where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for the team instead of working for himself or herself alone. The school therefore plays games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game；it is good for both body and mind. That is why it is every school’s game in England.31．In paragraph 1，“this ”m eans .A．people often shout at each other in a football matchB．people，rich and poor，young and old，often play footballC．football is the most popular game in EnglandD．people usually go to the important matches32．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A．English children have more knowledge of football than adults.B．Nearly all European schools consider lessons the most important.C．It is surprising that English children have great knowledge of football.D．English schools attach more importance to football than nearly all European schools.33．What does education mean in England？A．Filling a boy’mind with facts.B．Teaching how to work with others for the team.C．Training character by means of games.D．More than the teaching of knowledge.34．From the passage，we learn that .A．football is popular mostly among English children.B．schools in England make use of football for the training of body and mind.C．football is more important than lessons in England.D．other European schools consider football unimportant（B）A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce (盎司）of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.35. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.B. People who regularly eat fish never suffer from hear disease.C. Heart disease causes more deaths in America than any other disease.D. There is a low level of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland.36. The underlined words “lean fish” (paragraph 5) roughly mean “_______”.A. large fishB. fresh fishC. fish that live in salt waterD. fish that have little fat37. The passage is mainly about _________.A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countriesB. the effect of fish eating on people’s healthC. the changes in people’s dietD. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures38. The phrase “this relationship” (para graph 6) refers to the connection between _______ and the level of heart disease.A. the amount of fish eatenB. regular fish-eatingC. the kind of fish eatenD. people of different areas（C）For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants (污染物) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is said that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building-green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb (吸取) or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square metres of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.39. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because _______.A.indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB.man-made building materials give off dangerous gasesC.there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsD.the flow of air indoors is limited, which is very harmful40. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in ________.A. every modern houseB. every old houseC. all kinds of housesD.all kinds of offices41. The indoor air pollution is caused by ________.A.the limit of the flow of air between inside and outsideB.the building way that the builders want to save energyC.the building things that are made of man-made materialsD.the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow42. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ________.A.plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB.plants may take in more oxygen which people needC.plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicalsE.plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy（D）New York: When the first plane struck 1 World Trade Center at 8:48 am on Tuesday, the people in 2 World Trade Center who saw the instant (瞬间的) damage to the other tower realized clearly what they, too, must do: get out fast.Katherine Ilachinsiki, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast (一阵)of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Mrs Ilachinsiki, an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive (经理), cried sharply and set off too.But others up and down the 110 floors, many without seeing the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.Most people had no idea about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower asked people to stay put, assuring (使……确信) them that the building was sound and the threat (威胁)waslimited to the other tower.Some left, others stayed. Some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other cautions (警告) to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay were killed completely when the second plane crashed (坠落，碰撞) into the south tower.One of those caught in indecision (踌躇不决) was the executive at Fuji Bank USA.Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up, two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor.“I just don’t know what happened to them,” Mr Jacobs said.43. From the passage, we know that the south tower was hit by the plane ________.A. at 8:30B. 18 minutes earlier than the north towerC. at around 9:06D. at 8:4844.

And rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinsin said.In the study presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a much smaller increase in waist (腰) size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might b e eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.47. The report tells us that children will get fatter if they ________.A. eat in front of the TVB. change their dietC. do special exercisesD. spend much time watching TV48. According to the report, the time American children usually spend on watching TV and videos or playingvideo games ________.A. is four hours a day or moreB. is less than four hours a dayC. has doubled in the last 20 yearsD. has been reduced to one-quarter49. The time some children were persuaded to spend on TV viewing every day was less than ____.A. one hourB. two hoursC. three hoursD. four hours50.

Ecologists use the term “succession ”to refer to the changes that happen in plant communities and ecosystems over time. The first community in a succession is called a pioneer community, while the long-lived community at the end of succession is called a a climax community. Pioneer and successional plant communitiesare said to change over periods from 1 to 500 years. These changes in plant numbers and the mix of species are cumulative. Climax communities themselves change but over periods of time greater than about 500 years.An ecologist who studies a pond today may well find it relatively unchanged in a year’stime. Individual fish may be replaced, but the number of fish may tend to be the same from one year to the next. We can say that the properties of an ecosystem are more stable than the individual organisms that compose the ecosystem.At one time. Ecologists believed that species diversity made ecosystem stable. They believed that the greater the diversity the more stable the ecosystem. Support for this idea came from observation that long-lasting climax communities usually have more complex food webs and more species diversity than pioneer communities. Ecologist concluded that the apparent stability of climax ecosystems depended on their complexity. To take an extreme example, farmlands dominated by a singe crop are so unstable that one year of bad weather or the invasion of a single pest can destroy their entire crop. In contrast, a complex climax community , such as a temperate forest, will tolerate considerable damage from bad weather or pests.The question of ecosystem stability is complicated, however. The first problem is that ecologist don’tall agree what “stability “means . Stability can be all defined as simply lack of change. In that case, the climax community would be considered the most stable, since, by definition, it changes the least over time. Alternatively, stability can be defined as the speed with which an ecosystem returns to a particular form following a major disturbance, such as a fire. This kind of stability is also called resilience . In that case, climax community would be the most fragile and the least stable, since they can acquire hundreds of years to return to the complex state.Even the kind of stability defined as simple lack of change is not always associated with maximum diversity. At least in temperate zones, maximum diversity is often found in mid-successional stages, not in the climax community. Once a redwood forest matures, for example, the kinds of species and the number of individuals growing on the forest floor are reduced. In general, diversity, by itself, does not ensure stability. Mathematical models of ecosystems likewise suggest that diversity does not guarantee ecosystem stability- just the opposite, in fact. A more complicated system is , in general, more likely than a simple system to break down. (A fifteen-speed racing bicycle is more likely to break down than a child’s tricycle）Ecologists are especially interested in knowing what factors contribute to the resilience of communities because climax communities all over the world are being severely damaged or destroyed by human activities. The destruction caused by volcanic explosion of Mount. St. Helens, in the northwestern United States, for example , pales in comparison to theimportant to the community ’sresistance to destruction, as well as its recovery.Many ecologists now think that the relative long-term stability of climax communities comes not from diversity but from the “patchiness”of the environment. An environment that varies from place to place supports more kinds of organisms than an environment that is uniform. A local population that goes extinct is quickly replaced by immigrants from an adjacent community. Even if the new population is of a different species, it can approximately fill the niche vacated by the extinct population and keep the food web intact.2 According to paragraph 1, which of the following is not true of climax communities?A They occur at the end of a succession.B They last longer than any other type of community.C The numbers of plants in them and the mix of species do not change.D They remain stable for at least 500 years at a time.3 According to paragraph 2, which of the following principles of ecosystems can be learned by studying a pond?A Ecosystem properties change more slowly than individuals in the system.B The stability of an ecosystem tends to change as individuals are replace.C Individual organisms are stable from one year to the next.D A change in the numbers of an organism does not affect tan ecosystem’properties.the most stable ecosystems?A Pioneer communitiesB Climax communitiesC Single-crop farmlandsD Successional plant communities5 According to paragraph 4, why is the question of ecosystem stability complicated?A The reasons for ecosystem change are not always clear.B Ecologists often confuse the word“stability ”with the word “resilience”.C The exact meaning of the word“stability ”is debated by ecologists.D There are many different answers to the ecological questions.6 According to paragraph 4, which of the following is true about climax community?A They are more resilient than pioneer communities.B They can be considered both the most and the least stable communities.C They are stable because they recover quickly after major disturbances.D They are the most resilient communities because they change the least over time.7 Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 5 about redwood forest?A They become less stable as they mature.B They support many species when they reach climax.C They are found in temperate zones.9 In paragraph 5, why does the author provide the information that “a A fifteen-speed racing bicycle is more likely to break down than a child’stricycle”?A To illustrate a general principle about the stability of systems by using an every-day example.B To demonstrate that an understanding of stability in ecosystem can be applied to help understand stability in other situations.C To make a comparison that supports the claim that, in general, stability increases with diversity.D To provide an example that contradicts mathematical models of ecosystems.11 which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.A Ecologists now thinks that the stability of an environment is a result of diversity rather than patchiness.B Patchy environments that vary from place to place do not often have high species diversity.C Uniform environments can’tbe climax communities because they do not support as many types of organisms as patchy environments.D A patchy environment is thought to increase stability because it is able to support awide variety of organisms.Writing （30 分）Some people think that strict punishments for driving offences are the key to reducing traffic accidents.
