18、re easily affected by the consequences of global warming.

21、 pollutionV. 阅读（25%）第一节 阅读理解AOne reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation is a blank stare that asks the question, Since I dont live there, what does it have to do with me? The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics（热带） in many ways. I
22、f you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests. Biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks
23、,disappears. As many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things) live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is immeasurable. Take rubber for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do.
24、 Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the worlds commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazons rubber industry produces much of the worlds four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thou
25、sands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use. Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect - or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon diox
26、ide into oxygen. Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievabl
27、e? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late. Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer. 51The underlined word “synthetics” probably means .Anatural rubberBtropical
28、 materialsCman-made materialsDcommercial rubber52In the last paragraph the author tries to .Atell people how to avoid the tropical deforestationBpersuade people to buy something syntheticCwarn people of the disastrous consequences of tropical deforestationDlet people understand what tropical defores

31、riving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, and what sort of drinks youve had. Some people mi
32、ght reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if youre below the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol.It takes hours for the bod
33、y to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking session in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that youre still over the legal limit. In addition, if youve had a few drinks at lunchtime,
34、another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit till late in the night.In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts and the less able th
35、ey were to do it! So the only way to be sure youre safe is not to drink at all.Alcohol is major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of deat
36、h among young men. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.It is important to remember that driving after youve been drinking doesnt just affect you. If youre involved in an accident, it a
37、ffects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill or injure.56Which of the following statements in NOT true? AThree standard drinks may cause some people to reach the legal limit.BThere is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach the legal limit.CThe leg
38、al limit for driving after drinking is 0.08g of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood.DThe amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching legal limit is the same for different people.57We may find that the alcohol in our blood is over the legal limit in the evening after we had a few drinks at n
39、oon because .Athe drinks are too strongBthe alcohol in our drink is likely to get out of our bodyCour body needs some time to get the alcohol out of our bodyDour body is sensitive to alcohol58We may infer that even a professional driver if he drinks heavily.Awill probably fail to pass through a set

42、ing may put many lives at riskCsafe drinking is impossibleDthe manner of drinking is meaninglessCWant to travel as cheaply as possible while enjoying the great scenery as much as you like?Backpacking is the way. As the most popular traveling choice among young western people, backpacking allows you
43、to travel at your own free will. Carrying a tent, a sleeping bag and clothes, backpackers also need to pack an attitude that will help them deal with many mental and physical challenges.The rich might stay in expensive hotels where everything is provided. But backpackers carry everything in a large
44、bag and rely on themselves to travel through unknown places.To travel with as little money as possible, they stay in cheap hotels called youth hotels, or on the campuses of schools and universities, and they even sleep in railway stations, in tents, or under bridges.It is a thrill to put our ability
45、 to test and challenge ourselves with sorts of difficulties we might come across. So, backpacking is something young people can hardly deny.Young people in Europe often travel around by train. Now, with place tickets dropping in price, more are traveling to distant countries, such as Australia and C

53、bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. Buy Super C
54、lean Toothpaste. Drink Good Wet Root Beer. Fill up with Pacific Gas. Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of You Need It! Buy It Now!The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before.
55、 Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so.
