33、 impact(影响) on the Scottish capital. He is the fourth person to receive the honor, following in the footsteps of Ian Rankin, JK Rowling and Sir Chris Hoy, all of whom were recognized for helping to bring international recognition to the city.The Edinburghborn sporting star, called “Mr. Judo”， said：“
34、Its a fantastic honor to get this. They give it to people who put Edinburgh on the map. Its a great thing to be honored by your own people. Its fantastic when you consider I was a little boy from Craigentinny whose father was a bus driver.”The event saw the unveiling(揭幕) of Kerrs handprints in the C
35、ity Chambers yard, where they have been carved in Caithness stone alongside those of the previous Edinburgh Award winners. Council leader Jenny Dawe spoke well of Kerr, saying he was a “hugely deserving” member of the outstanding Edinburgh Award “club”. “The council is delighted to present George Ke
36、rr with the Edinburgh Award on behalf of the people of Edinburgh，” she added.Lifelong friend and Scottish Hairdresser of the Year Charlie Miller also spoke of a “great, good and beautiful person who inspired a lot of people and is well worth respecting worldwide.” The award follows what the British
37、Judo Association (BJA) president described as an “unbelievable” year. Kerr was elevated to the highest rank of his sport in February 2010 when he became the youngest person ever to be named a 10th Dan, a title which has only been held by 15 people since it first began in the late 19th century.A big
38、congratulation to George! He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire(CBE) in the 2011 New Year Honors, coming soon after being awarded the Order of the Rising Sun by the Emperor of Japan.61.

49、m the sport of runningD. running seems to be a challenging taskCIt is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels. This is exciting. Yet, on the other hand, competition breezes a pragmatic (实用主义的) attitude. People choose to learn things that are u
50、seful, and do things that are profitable. Todays college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism(功利主义)Many college students choose business not computing programming as their majors convinced that these professions are where the big money is. It is not unusual to see the c
51、ollege students taking a parttime job as a warming up for the real battle. I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving tests to get a license. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more
52、and more severe, students do have reasons to be practical.However, we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if your utilitarianism becomes the main trend on campus, leaving no space for the cultivation(培养) of students minds, or development of thei
53、r soul. We will see university is training out welltrained spiritless working machines. If utilitarianism controls society, we will see people lost in the moneymaking adventures; we will see humanity losing their grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous. Id like to think society as encouragin
54、g and people regard profit or fame only as a horse that pulls the courage.

Although in todays world, the highest level of competition may not be that of skills or expertise(专业技术), but vision and strategy, your intellectual quality largely determines how far you can go in your career.69.

59、d value the cultivation of students mindsDCLIMATE science is famously complicated, but one useful number to keep in mind is “climate sensitivity”（敏感度）. This measures the amount of warming that can eventually be expected to follow a doubling in the atmospheric concentration of CO2(carbon dioxide). Th
60、e Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC), in its most recent summary of the science behind its predictions, published in 2007, estimated（评估） that, in present conditions, a doubling of CO2 would cause warming of about 3， with uncertainty of about a degree and a half in either direction. But
61、it also says there is a small probability that the true number is much higher. Some recent studies have suggested that it could be as high as 10.If that were true, disaster occurs. But a paper published in this weeks Science, by Andreas Schmittner of Oregon State University, suggests it is not. In D
62、r Schmittners analysis, the climate is less sensitive to CO2 than was feared.Existing studies of climate sensitivity mostly rely on data gathered from weather stations, which go back to roughly 1850. Dr Schmittner takes a different approach. His data come from the peak of the most recent ice age, be
63、tween 19,000 and 23,000 years ago. His group is not the first to use such data (ice cores（核）, fossils（化石）, marine sediments （海洋沉淀物）and the like) to explore the climates sensitivity to CO2. But their paper is the most thorough. Previous attempts had considered only small regions of the globe. He has
64、collected enough information to make an attempt at recreating the climate of the entire planet.The result offers the rarest of things in climate sciencea bit of good news. The groups most likely figure for climate sensitivity is 2.3， which is more than half a degree lower than the consensus(公认的) fig
65、ure, with a 66% probability that it lies between 1.7 and 2.6. More importantly, these results suggest an upper limit for climate sensitivity of around 3.2.Before you take a break and start to celebrate, though, it is worth bearing in mind that this is only one study, and, like all such, it has its s
66、hortcomings. And although the studys geographical report is the most comprehensive so far for work of this type, there are still blank areasnotably （明显地）in Australia, Central Asia, South America and the northern Pacific Ocean.73. The studies conducted by Dr Schmittners group show that _.A. the clima
67、te may not be so sensitive to CO2B. IPCCs predictions in 2007 are completely wrongC. the geographical report is thorough and perfectD. previous studies cover a large regions of the globe74. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The group forecasts disasters will surel
68、y occur.B. The research will make people feel relaxed and safe.C. Weather stations contribute to climate sensitivity studies.D. The group is the first to explore climates sensitivity.75. The consensus figure of climates sensitivity is about _.A. 2.3 B. 2.6 C. 2.9 D. 3.276. What can be the best title

74、rade in their millionaire lifestyle for a simpler and more meaningful life. They made this decision after visiting a community-run farm, where everyone worked together and helped each other. The farm inspired the Fullers to help others, and in 1976, they founded Habitat for Humanity, a non-governmen
75、tal organization (NGO) that aims to build houses for poor people around the world.Habitat houses are built by volunteers, and the materials used to build the houses are donated by construction companies and suppliers. Groups of people from companies, schools or churches often volunteer to build a ho
76、use together. Habitat volunteers usually work at the weekend, and it takes over 1,500 hours of work to build one house, so it may take a group several months to do so. Because the Fullers believed that people should actively improve their own lives, those who receive a house must also spend several
77、hundred hours helping build their home or the homes of others.In keeping with their belief that people should help themselves, the Fullers wanted to ensure that houses were not simply handed to people in need. Habitat houses are not free, but they are less expensive than other houses because the org
78、anization does not profit from them. People borrow money from Habitat for Humanity as an interest-free loan and then repay it over many years. Habitat for Humanity uses loan payments to invest in building new houses, which can cost from $800 in a developing country to about $ 59,000 in the USA.Habit
79、at for Humanity started in the USA, but today there are volunteers all around the world. In 2000, Habitat for Humanity set up its first office in China in Kunming, Yunnan Province. Since 2000, many volunteers, including middle school and university students from Tianjin, Hong Kong and Guangzhou, hav
80、e helped build houses in Yunnan. In 2006, Habitat for Humanity joined with the Leprosy Mission International to build houses in Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces for people in need.By building houses for poor people and helping them be responsible for their lives, Habitat for Humanity is building hope ar
