16、. Miranda Vickers B Houses fall down. Trees fall over. Large holes form in the ground. Could Alaska be sinking? Thats what some villagers in Alaska have been asking themselves recently and scientists think they know why. Warmer temperatures may be causing Alaskas frozen ground to thaw (解冻). About 85
17、 percent of Alaskas land surface has permafrost (永久冻结带). Permafrost supports the ground above itincluding trees, houses, and roads. But why is the permafrost thawing? Some scientists say that human-caused pollution is leading to global warming. And most scientists agree that Alaska has been getting
18、warmer. They say that the warmer temperature is causing permafrost to thaw in some areas. The thawing permafrost can cause problems for people, plants, and animals. The collapsing (倒塌)is a problem in the villages in Alaska which are built on permafrost, and some of them may have to move to safer gro
19、und, where there is no permafrost. The Alaskan town of Glennallen saw its old post office collapse. And, according to James Walters, a permafrost expert at the University of Northern Iowa, house-moving companies have be en very busy. “Melting permafrost can also destroy trees and forests,” Walters s
20、aid. “When holes in the ground form, trees fall into them and die. This could turn a forest into a swamp (沼泽), and animals which need the forests will have to move elsewhere.” “The melting could cause severe problems.” Walters says, “This could take hundreds of years, but in the end Alaska will look
21、 quite different from what it looks like now.” 24. The main reason why permafrost is thawing is that. A. the temperature in Alaska is rising B. people in Alaska dont take care of permafrost C. too many houses are built on permafrost D. people in Alaska polluted permafrost 25. The following are the r
22、esults of melting permafrost EXCEPT _. A. holes form in the ground B. a forest will be turned into a swamp C. some animals have to go elsewhere D. more water will be needed by people and animals 26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. When permafrost melts, houses will fa
23、ll down. B. House-moving companies are busy because their houses are in danger. C. To stop permafrost melting is a very difficult problem. D. Most of Alaskas land surface has permafrost. 27. Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage? A. AlaskaA Frozen Land B. Pollution and
24、Global Warming C. Is Alaska Sinking? D. Alaska Is Polluted C Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment. Some spor
25、ts are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （ 球场 ） in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regio
26、ns of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas. There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You dont need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you dont have to worry
27、about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sport you take
28、 up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be green gyms. They are better replacements（代替物）for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the
29、countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, its free. 28Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of? A. Motor racing in the desert. B. Cycling around a lake. C. Playing basketball in a gym D. Swimming in a sp

34、s usual, he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8:30 p. m. suddenly he remembered his promise to the children. He looked for his boss but he was not there. Having told him in the morning himself, he closed everything a
35、nd left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. The children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him, “Would you
36、like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry?” The man replied, “If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about the children?” His wife replied, “You dont know? Your boss came here at 5:15 p. m. and has taken them to the exhibition.” What had really h
37、appened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working seriously at 5:00 p. m. He thought to himself: this person will not leave the work, but hes promised to take his children to the exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them there. The boss does not have to do it every time. Bu
38、t once its done, loyalty is established. That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was extraordinarily huge.
