The queen plans to reduce the number of real royals, it was recently announced. However, there seems little sign of the monarchy(君主) disapp
11、earing completely. Up till the 17th century, the British king or queen was believed to rule by “divine (神的) right”, which was the idea that God chose the king or queen to rule and that he or she was therefore above the law. However, this idea ended with the English Revolution, in which King Charles
12、the first was imprisoned and then killed in 1649. So what role does the British royal family have today?Well, the Queen has important formal duties: as Head of State, the Queen represents the UK on visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the UK. As Head of the Armed Forces, only the Q
13、ueen can declare when the UK is at war or when war was over. The Queen also has constitutional duties: She has to sign many government and Commonwealth documents every day. In addition, the royal family spends a great deal of its time traveling up and down the country in support of different charity
14、 projects.But the public in Britain do not believe there should be a royal family. Sometimes, the press and media criticize the royal family as well.One criticism is that British people should not have to pay for the royal family through their taxes. Today, the royal family works hard to be relevant
15、 in the modern world. The queens speech on TV is less formal every Christmas, and is now available as a podcast (播客). In 2005, after graduation for university, Prince William spent time teaching English in Uruguay, the sort of work many young British people do at some time in their lives. 64. What c
16、an be concluded from the first two paragraphs?A. The British king or queen is about to become common people.B. The British king or queen is no longer believed to rule by divine right. C. The English Revolution put an end to the British royal family in 1649. D. The royal familys role was most importa
17、nt in Britain in the 17th century.65. Which of the following is NOT among formal duties of the Queen?A. Travelling around the world for charity projects. B. Declaring when the UK is at war. C.

18、m is mentioned in the passage to show that _.A. he is popular in the UKB. many young British people do voluntary work C. he has tried to win young peoples admirationD. the royal family is trying to change their image 67.

19、royal family B. the public are encouraged to oppose the royal familyC. the British royal family are facing surviving challenges D. British youths are required to teach English in Uruguay in their lives64-67 BADC*结束DJust as the worlds most respected scientific bodies have confirmed that the world is
20、getting hotter, they have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming. Countless recent reports from the worlds leading scientific bodies have said the same thing. For example, a 2010 summary of climate science by the Royal Society stated that: “There is strong evid
21、ence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity.”The idea that humans could change the planets climate may be counter-intuitive(与直觉不符的), but the basic science is well understood. Each year, human activity causes billions of tons of greenhouse g
22、ases to be released into the atmosphere. As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.Of course, the planets climate has always been changing thanks to “natural” factors such as changes in solar or volcani
23、c activity, or cycles relating the Earths going around the sun. According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.
24、Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so far, that would beg a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it in The Rough Guide to Climate Change: “If some newly discovered factor can account for the climate change, then why arent carbon dioxide and t
25、he other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths one with human influence and one without. That obviously isnt p
26、ossible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty. 68In most scientists opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by _.Asolar activity Bvolcanic activity Cthe Earths going around the sun Dhuman activity69The underline word “identical” means _. Atota
27、lly different Bexactly the same Cextremely important Drelatively independent70Which of the following can be the best title? AHow can we stop global warming? BWhere Is Global Warming Leading Us to? CAre Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming? DWhats Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?参
28、考答案68-70 DBC*结束CHICAGO (Reuters) - Smoking not only can wrinkle(起皱纹) the face and turn it yellow - it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body - even skin protected fro
29、m the sun.We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced, Dr. Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan, wh

Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years, Helfrichs team added in their report.The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, tak
31、ing pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers. Independent judges decided how wrinkled each persons skin was.When skin is exposed to sunlight, notably（尤其）the face, it becomes coarse, wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Helfrichs team wrote.
32、Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature（过早的）skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.The report did not discuss the mechanism involved but previous research has fo
33、und that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels（血管）beneath the skin to constrict（紧缩）, reducing blood supply to the skin.Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both the skin and the internal organs.64.
