They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of location minerals in the ground-using trees and pla

Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldnt forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in
36、 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwins footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife,
37、as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animals of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise（巨型海龟），which c

Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been in their youth by Darwin himself. Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembe

Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that
40、 so inspired Darwin, so you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.61. What do we know

52、he more friends you have in school, the more money youll earn later.The idea that popularity could have a serious influence on ones earning potential shouldnt come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as power
53、ful as talent and hard work.“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations,” said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. “Also, friends always help each
54、other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you are occasionally in low spirits,” said Xu. She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary.”Maybe thats why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症)? A woman even

56、m I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition of friend”, said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US.Daum dislikes the idea that quantity trumps quality in the age of friendaholism. She thought the idea of friendship, at least among the gro
57、wing population of Internet social networkers, was to get as many of not-really-friends as possible. For example, a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friends you dont actually know. Although she agreed that
58、 social ties grease(润滑)the wheels of life, she also warned. “Too bad one thing money cant buy is a real friend.”69. What can friends do in the eyes of Xu Yanchun?A. They can help you with your schoolwork.B. They help you to get rid of sadness and cheer up.C. They teach you how to make more money.D.

61、 Women graduate, Carson published “Silent Spring” in 1962, a work that launched the modern environmental movement and led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency （EPA） as well as the passage of our major environmental lawsHowever, there has been a puzzling and troubling trend in recen
62、t years: an attack on her theory by conservatives and the agrochemical （农用化学品） industryFor example, Rush Limbaugh gave the following quiz: “Who caused more deaths: Adolf Hitler or Rachel Carson?” Limbaughs answer was Carson, due to the approximately 100 million deaths from malaria （疟疾） since 1972, t
63、he year in which the pesticide （杀虫剂）DDT was banned for use in the United States in part as a result of “Silent Spring”Therefore, on this 40th anniversary of Carsons death, we need to take a scientific look at the myths that remain about pesticidesMyth 1: Pesticide usage has declined since 1962In fac
64、t, pesticide usage has more than doubled since 1962, and the global pesticide industry currently uses over 25 million tons of pesticides each yearEven DDT is still used abroadMyth 2: Pesticides are safeIn fact, as Carson warned us, these poisonous chemicals are unsafe since they are designed to kill
65、 biological organisms, but are often not specific in their targetsPesticide exposure can cause skin irritation, headache, cancer and even deathAccording to the WHO, over 25 million people a year in developing countries suffer severe acute pesticide poisonings with over 20,000 deathsOf the 80,000 pes

67、 100 times higher than outdoorsSo, if Carson were with us today, still battling the agrochemical industry that spent millions of dollars, what would she be advocating? I feel confident that she would be a strong supporter of a new principle of chemical assessmentSimply put, this principle requires p
68、roducers of pesticides to prove that they are safe and necessary before they are put on the marketOur current system puts the burden of proof on government and scientists to prove that a pesticide is dangerous and poses an “unacceptable risk” before it can be pulled from the market72Limbaugh attacke

73、据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上Good communication is vital in modern society. We know that much of the communication is unspoken. Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. Your good qualities can make good communica
74、tion. The personal qualities include: physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expressiveness of eyes, and the ability to hold the interest of others. What should we do so that our communication will be effective? Here are my suggestions. Firstly, you should be
75、 yourself. The trick is to be consistently you, at your best. The most effective people never change character from one situation to another. Theyre the same whether theyre having a conversation with their close friends, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job. They communicate w
76、ith their whole being. Secondly, whether youre talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Dont break eye contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are at ease. Smi
77、ling is important. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable, not forced. You should also absorb other people before showing yourself. You cant learn anything when you talk. When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, dont immediately start throwing your opinions. Stop
78、 for a second. Absorb whats going on. Whats the mood of the othersare they down, up, happy, expectant? Are they eager to learn from you, or do they show resistance? If you can sense whats happening with others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk. The fourth suggestion
79、is that you focus your energy. How do you get your energy up?Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about the goal of the meetingyours and the others. Once you go through the doorway, no longer think about yourself. Focus on the persons you are meeting to find out what he is interested in.Properl
80、y collected energy comes across when we sincerely believe something. When you speak with energy, you are involved with your audience and your message. You create an air of certainty. The audience may disagree with you, but they cant question your belief.Lastly, I would like to remind you that you sh
81、ould lighten up. Take a good hard look at your self. Do you say “I” too often? Are you only concentrated on your own problems? Do you complain frequently?
