S. newspaper websites rose by nearly a third in the first half of 2006，a study released on Wednesday said，though print readership at some larger papers fell.The study, released by the Newspaper Asso
30、ciation of America, underlines the internet s importance to papers beset (围困)by failing circulation and advertising income in their print editions.The average number of unique visitors to online newspaper sites in the first half was more than 55.5 million a month ，the study said. That compares with
31、42.2 million a year earlier. “Newspaper websites have become a significant addition to the print product, and are driving large audience growth, ” said John Kimball9 the association s chief marketing officer. The number of page views at newspaper sites rose by about 52 percent in the first half, the
32、 association added.US Newspaper publishers have been fighting to hold on to advertisers as many of them lose readers to other media, including the Internet,Key to the latest report is the finding that websites are bringing in more younger readers, the association said.The Washington Post, s website
33、increased its audience reach among readers aged 25 to 34 by more than 60 percent, the report said. Audience reachcombines the average weekly print audience and the net 30 - day website audience.Overall, newspaper websites helped drive a 15 percent increase in the total newspaper audience for 25 - to
34、 - 34 - year olds and a 10 - percent increase for 18 - to 24 - year olds, the association said.It did not provide comparisons to the same period last year for total print newspaper readership.

39、rs and online newspaper readersD.online newspaper readers and print newspaper readersDA wood fire can be handy when you re camping. You can roast marshmallows or stay warm， for example. Forest fires that rage out of control, however, are a big problem.Wildfires cause hundreds of millions of dollars
40、in damage every year. And the amount of destruction has grown over the last 2 decades，especially in the western United States.To understand better why the northern Rocky Mountains region has been hit especially hard by wildfires, scientists from the University of Arizona in Tucson looked at weather,
41、 snow, and fire records from 1970 to 2003.Their study showed that, between 1987 and 2003, fires burned an area 6. 5 times larger than the area burned between 1970 and 1986. The fire season also started earlier-, and its average length increased by 78 days.Warmer spring and summer temperatures appear
42、 to be part of the explanation for this change. The average temperature in the studys more recent period was 0.871 higher than it was in the earlier period. And this trend is likely to continue. Experts predict that average summer temperatures may rise between 2 and 5 by the year 2050 in western Nor
43、th America.Hie timing of snowmelt appears to be another cause of the fire boom. When snow melts early in the season，forests become drier through the summer and catch fire and burn more easily. Western snow packs now typically melt a week to a month earlier than they did 50 years ago, according to re
44、cent studies.Some people have blamed the growing fire risk on policies that allow bush and branches to build up on forest floors. But clearing bush by itself won t help much if changes in climate are largely responsible for increasingly severe forest fires.43.The main purpose of studying the records
45、 from 1970 to 2003 was to _.A.find out solutions to forest firesB.prevent wildfires from happening frequently-C.know more about the climate changes in the past decadesD.find out the causes of wildfires in the northern Rocky Mountains region44.Scientists fixm the University of Arizona found out the f
46、ollowing EXCEPT _A.western snow packs melt earlier than they did 50 years agoB.fires burned larger area between 1987.and 2003 than between 1970 and 1986C.the fire season between 1987 and 2003 was longer than that between 1970 and 1986D.the average summer temperature will be I9C and 5 higher by 2050
47、than it is now45.Which of the following statements will Scientists from the University of Arizona agree to?A.More wildfires lead to the trend of global warming.B.Hot summers have nothing to do with the increasing wildfires.C.The earlier snow melts, the more probably forest fires will happen.46.Clear

What is the main idea the author aims to express in the passage?A.The damages caused by wildfires.B.The results of a study on wild fires.C.The causes of fires in the United States.D.The changes in climate in the western United States.E
49、Life learning ( sometimes called un - schooling or self - directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isnt, than what it is. And that, s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a dedicated build
50、ing on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional.Within that schooling framework，no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give Up or lose their self 一 respect,
51、and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. Hiey have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum.Life learners, on the other hand, know that lear
52、ning is not difficult9 that people learn things quite easily if they, re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way. They know that learning cannot be produced
53、in us and that we cannot produce it in others - no matter what age and no matter whether we, re at school or at home.Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the kitchen table from 9 to noon fr
54、om September to June. Life learning is learner - driven. It involves living and learning 一 in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again.Furthermore, life learning is about
55、 trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.47.It is implied from the passage that it is difficult to _A.fi
56、nd a specially trained teacherB.learn without going to schoolC.tell the nature of life learningD.carry life learning through48.What does the writer say about the schooling framework?A.It often gives little care to the quality of teaching materials.B.It often fails to provide enough knowledge about l
