31、al unity. They reveal the life and beliefs of people in Europe thousands of years ago and are remarkable for their large numbers and outstanding quality. The area in Tanum consists of more than 350 highly varied groups of carvings spread out over the flat rock. They are interpreted as primitive symb
32、olic art with motifs and positioning carefully planned by the people who carved these works.Olympic National Park(North America)Located in the north-west of Washington State, Olympic National Park is famous for the diversity(多样性) of its ecosystems.

The park also includes 100 km of wilderness coastline, the longest undeveloped coast in the contiguous
34、(接壤的) United States, and is rich in native animal and plant species, including northern spotted owl, marbled murrelet and bull trout.Town of Bamberg(Europe) From the 10th century on, this town became an important link with the Slav peoples, especially those of Poland and Pomerania. During its period
35、 of greatest prosperity(繁荣),from the 12th century onwards, the architecture of Bamberg strongly influenced northern Germany and hungary. In the late 18th century it was the centre of the Enlightenment in southern Germany, with emint philosophers and writers such as Hegel(黑格尔) and Hoffman(霍夫曼) living
36、 there.Portress of Suomenlinna (Europe) Built in the second half of the 18th century by Sweden on a group of islands located at the entrance of Helsinkis harbour, the Fortress of Finland(Suomenlinna)is an outstanding example representative both of the general fortification(要塞) principles of the peri

39、bal warming is when the earth heats up, the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases -carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the earths atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very h
40、ot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it cant get back out. Once the light is inside the car, it is trapped and the heat builds up, just like it does in the earths atmosph
41、ere. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it cant get out. As a result, the temperature rises.Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on.
42、Without it, the earth would be freezing, or on the other hand it would be burning hot. We would not get the suns heat and light to make the night somewhat warm. During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter it, so people, p
43、lants, and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it, if there gets to be too many gases, the earth can get unusually warmer, and many plants, animals, and people will die. They would die because there would be
44、less food (plants like corn, wheat, and other vegetables and fruits). This would happen because the plants would not be able to take the heat. This would cause us to have less food to eat, but it would also limit the food that animals have. Gradually, people, plants, and animals would all die of hun
45、ger. People are doing many things to try to stop global warming. One thing people are doing is carpooling. Carpooling is driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. This minimizes the amount of greenhouse gases put into the air by a car.Another thing that people are doing is being mo
46、re careful about leaving things turned on like the television, computer, and the lights. A lot of people are taking time away from the television, and instead, they are spending more time outdoors. This helps our planet out a lot. Now, more people are even riding buses, walking to school, and riding
47、 their bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air.Planting trees and recycling also help. If you recycle, less trash goes to the dump, and less trash gets burned. As a result, there are fewer greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Although adults do many things to help stop global warming
48、, kids can do just as much.65.The underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _. A. light B. heat C. temperature D. greenhouse effect66. By the example given in paragraph 1, the author wants to _. A. explain how greenhouse gases work B. show his feeling in a car in hot summer C. tell us cars are c
49、auses of greenhouse gases D. say that there are greenhouse gases in every car67. What is the effect of atmosphere? A. It only traps the heat of the sun. B. It works the same way as greenhouse gases. C. It makes the earth neither too hot nor too cold. D. It prevents all the light from the sun shining
50、 on the earth.68. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. If there is greenhouse effect, all the plants will die. B. Human beings are likely to disappear from the earth. C. Crops cant take the heat if there is greenhouse effect. D. Although greenhouse effect is necessary, too much of it cau
51、ses us to die.69. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A. Why cars and buses pollute the air a lot. B. What kids can do to help stop global warming. C. What global warming is doing to the environment. D. Who should be responsible for the environmental problems.CT
52、hough I have traveled in hundreds of trains, few unusual things have ever happened to me. But one day in a train something did happen. I do not mean that I was hurt: no one was hurt.I do my work in a hot country far away from England. Every September I go there to do my business, and every July I co
53、me back to England to have a rest. So every September I go to Paris and take a train from the great French city to Mendova, and at Mendova I catch my ship.There is one very fast train from Paris to Mendova, and it suits me well. It goes as far as Endoran, but it stops at Mendova for a few minutes to
54、 let travelers get out or in. it is called The flying bluebird. It reaches Mendova at seven minutes past nine in the morning, and it is never late.A ship leaves Mendova at half past eleven, and so you will understand that The flying bluebird suits me very well. I always travel by it, and I have near
55、ly two and a half hours at Mendova to go from the station to the ship. That is more than enough time.Well, one September night, I took my place in The flying bluebird as usual. The train leaves Paris at nine oclock very night, and I was in my place soon after half past eight. There were three or fou
56、r people there with me, but very soon a lot of others got into the train. When no more people could sit down, they began to stand up near us and also in the corridor (走廊). In a short time the corridor was full too, and it was impossible for any more travelers to get into the train.I could see a lot
57、of other people outside the corridor windows, but they could not get in, and the train left Paris without them. The man sitting next to me started to ask all kinds of questions: “Where do you work? How long does it take you to get there? Are you married? How many children do you have? How much money
58、 do they pay you every year? How much do you have in the bank? How much do you spend every month?”He asked questions for about twenty minutes but I did not give him any clear answers, and at last he stopped and began to read the paper.I usually sleep quite well in the train, but this time I slept on
59、ly a little. There were too many people, and there were too many things: small bags, large bags, coats, hats, boxes, newspapers and food. As usual, we got angry about the window. Most people wanted it shut, and two of us wanted it open. But that always happens. It was shut all night, as usual.When I
60、 awoke in the early morning I felt hot and dirty, and glad that the journey was reaching its end. At seven minutes past nine The flying bluebird stopped. We were at Mendova, and I stood up thankfully. I took my two suitcases, held one in each hand, and tried to move towards the door into the corrido
61、r. In order to get out of the train, I had to pass down the corridor to the door at the far end. There was no other way out.I could not even get into the corridor. There was a suitcase on the floor by my feet, and three men were standing in my way. I felt a touch of fear. I had to get out, you see;
62、I had to catch my ship, which left at half past eleven. And the train did not stop again until it reached Endoran, two hundred miles away.“I must get out!” I cried. Everyone there understood me, but no one could move.At last I was able to put one foot over the suitcase on the floor, and I nearly rea
63、ched the door into the corridor. But then, very slowly, the train began to move. It was taking me away!“Stop!” I cried. “I want to get out!” But no one outside the train could hear me, and the people inside did not care much. The train moved a little faster. What could I do? I was not even in the co
64、rridor.Fear made me think quickly. In front of my eyes, just above the door, was a notice that told everyone how to stop the train. I had to pull an iron (铁的) thing near the notice. I did not waste time. I pulled it.Well, a noise started above our heads. That was to show everyone that there was some
65、thing wrong. It was not a small sound. Possibly the men in my ship two miles away could hear it. Then the train stopped.No one likes to stop a train if there is no need. But I had to catch my ship. That was the only thought in my mind: to get out and catch my ship.70. The purpose of the author writi
