26、ment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are t
27、aking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The numbe
28、r of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of “Green thinking” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only
29、 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, its hard to find a public school, univ
30、ersity, or law school that does not have such a kind of program.” Until we do that, nothing else will change! ” say Bruce Anderson.56. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about _A. the social movement B. recycling techniquesC. environmental problems D. the importance of Ear
31、th Day 57. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A. The grass roots level B. The business circle C. Government officials D. University professors 58. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest B. They have sett
32、led their environmental problems C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.BFor a long time, there have been many reports about the risks of cell phones. But people in our society would almost rather die than give them up. That is
33、an actual possibility, according to the modern research. Eleven different analyses have discovered that those who have used a cell phone for ten years or a longer time are more likely to develop tumors (肿瘤) on a nerve connecting the ear to the brain. The fact is also that childrens thinner and small
34、er skulls (颅骨) may put them at an even bigger risk of developing brain cancer. Some researchers warn that children should only use cell phones in urgent situations.In the United States, Dr. George Carlo, an expert, was hired by the cell phone industry to prove that cell phones were safe. However, af
35、ter six years of careful research, he came to the conclusion that cell phones were not safe. He also found that some childrens developing skulls and brains were harmfully affected by the radiation produced by the phones. In addition, he felt that the blood-brain barrier, which prevents the invasion
36、of toxins (毒素), could be affected. Some other studies found that just five minutes exposure to cell phone signals could cause human cells to divide. Childrens brains absorbed 50% to 70% more radiation from cell phones than adults. In addition, there would be a greater likelihood of brain and neurolo
37、gical cancers, because childrens nervous systems are still developing.In spite of these findings, Firefly Mobile designed a cell phone for children, the Fly phone. It was produced for smaller hands and is specifically aimed at children from 8 to 12 years old. The phone enables parents to limit incom
38、ing and outgoing calls, and to control messaging. Besides making calls, Fly phone users can play games, listen to MP3s, watch videos and use instant messaging. Firefly Mobile said that its market research indicated that there was a need for parents and children in this age group to be able to commun
39、icate easily.59. What can be the best title of passage? A. Dont use cell phones any more. B. Be careful when using cell phones.C. Cell phones cant cause brain cancer. D. Fly phones and brain cancer.60. Anyone who has used a cell phone for a long time _. A. is unwilling to admit it is bad for their h
40、ealth B. will become younger later C. will not use a cell phone any moreD. is more likely to develop cancer and tumors in the brain61. When using cell phones, children may face more risks of developing brain cancer than adults because _. A. adults seldom use handheld phones B. children dont know the
41、 truth C. childrens skulls are thinner and smaller D. adults nerves are still growing gradually62. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about the Fly phone? A. It is designed for children under 16 years old. B. Its users can never send short messages to each other. C. Children ca
42、n make a phone call more easily with it.D. Parents can control childrens sending short messages with it.CCulture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by
43、 a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge c
44、an be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment lie in the fact that one cannot learn cultureone has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is th
45、at business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonalds. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging (会合).The other school proposes that companies must adapt business approaches to individual cultures. Setti
46、ng up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia(近视) or even blindness.Fortune exami
47、ned the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the mo

When he was one year old
53、, he fell into a fire, losing both his hearing and his sense of smell. At 12, Laurent Clerc entered the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris where he did the best in his studies. After he graduated, the school asked him to stay on as an assistant teacher. Meanwhile, in the United States, Thomas H
54、opkins Gallaudet was studying to be a minister. He was very concerned about the lack of educational opportunities for the deaf. Therefore, in 1815, Gallaudet sailed to London, England to seek ideas on how to teach deaf people. While he was there, he met Laurent Clerc, a French educator of the deaf,
55、who invited him to go to Paris to spend three months learning at the Royal Institution for the Deaf, the school where Laurent Clerc was teaching. Gallaudet accepted the offer. They two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return to America, he asked Clerc to come wit
56、h him. Clerc accepted on one condition: he would stay in America for only a short time. The two men set sail to the United States on June 18, 1816. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean took 52 days; however, Clerc and Gallaudet put the time to good use. Since Clerc studied English and Gallaudet stud
57、ied sign language, they discussed the school for the deaf which they planned to open. On the long trip, they had many conversations about education and deafness. They set up a school for the deaf in Harford, Connecticut after they got to the United States. At the school, Clerc led a busy life. He ta
58、ught sign language to Principal Gallaudet; he taught the pupils; and he also taught hearing men who came to the school to study deaf education. In 1819, Clerc married Eliza Crocker Boardman, one of his pupils. They had six children. He retired from teaching in 1858. Although he had intended to retur

63、分 任务型阅读 (共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)There are many things that we wish to achieve in life. For some, we set goals and objectives, and for some we dont. Try to remember the last time you set a goal to achieve a certain task. Were you able to complete the task in an effective manner? The tasks which are done by
64、 setting and meeting daily goals will definitely be useful and rewarding experiences. A step-by-step approach towards achieving smaller goals is the key to achieving larger ones.When it comes to the workplace, each and every employee is expected to meet daily responsibilities and expectations. With
65、organizations becoming more and more competitive, the importance of goal-setting for employees is increasing. It helps the employee to perform better and increases his or her efficiency and time management. Its also important for every student to set high academic goals so as to be able to build a g
66、ood career.Setting goals for completing the daily schedule helps an employee to finish the assigned tasks and targets in a timely manner. If an employee is performing the way he or she is expected to, then this will automatically increase the performance, output and productivity of both the employee
67、 and the organization. Daily study targets are the same. This helps you complete your assignments within the set time, thus putting less pressure on you during exams and increasing your chances of performing well.How many times you have to be at work on a weekend just to complete your work? How many
68、 times you have had to stay up all night to complete your homework or study for your exams? Had you followed your set goals and targets right from the beginning, you would have spent the time relaxing rather than being busy working or studying! Setting up goals and objectives helps you organize your
69、 time and efforts in an efficient manner.In performing your work diligently, you are likely to keep a steady pace when it comes to fulfilling your set targets. Because you are already on track, there will be no unnecessary workload and time limits over your head. Therefore, another benefit of effect
70、ive goal-setting is lack of stress and a more calm and relaxed mind. Only a stress-free and calm mind can house progressive and productive thoughts. A calm mind causes positivity, which goes a long way towards increasing your ability to achieve the personal goals you have set for yourself.Each and e
71、very human being aims to achieve two things: to fulfill desires and to enjoy life. This is possible only through proper discipline and time management. Goal-setting leads to not only professional growth but also personal growth and development. You are expected to know that every step counts and tha
72、t setting up goals is easy, but following them on a consistent basis is difficult. Therefore, if you want to be successful and also harvest the fruits of your hard work, you need to stick to your set goals and be focused towards achieving them. Realize the significant role that goal-setting plays in
73、 your life, make sure that you do all you can to achieve what you want., set your goals, work towards achieving them and celebrate your success!Passage outlineSupporting detailsSignificance of goal-setting in achieving success*In face of competition, employees with goals can perform better as well a

Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that t
81、he jobless are in poorer health than the job-holders. A study shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increase correspondingly(相应地) by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy,
82、 away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. By collective activities, they find frie
83、ndship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him likely to disease. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finis
