Now it is an ecological disaster area. Naurus heartbreaking story could have one good consequence other countries might
18、 learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island. However, because i
19、t was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population
20、from 1,400 to 900. Naurus real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate. A phosphate mine is
21、 not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon. In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest
22、 countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had
23、a terrible problem their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen. 56. Wh
24、at might be the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for Naurus problems. B. To give a warning to other countriesC. To show the importance of money D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.57. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A. Rich and powerful B. Modern and open C. Pe
25、aceful and attractive D. Greedy and aggressive58. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _. A. soil pollutionB. phosphate over-mining C. farming activityD. whale hunting 59. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders w
26、ill take the experts words seriously. C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans D. The phosphate mines were destroyed BScientists have long understood the key role that oceans play in regulating the Earths climate. Oceans cover 70 percent of the globe and store a thousand times more heat than the
27、atmosphere does. Whats newer is the understanding of how this key component of our climate system responds to global warming.A brake on global warmingfor nowOne of the oceans most important climate functions is absorbing heat and carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the gases that cause global warming. Acti
28、ng as a heat sponge (海绵), the oceans have absorbed huge amounts of heat and CO2 in the last forty years.Fujita explains that “the oceans are saving us from faster climate changethey are a big flywheel that delays rapid overheating of the earth, putting a brake on the climate system.”“Thats the good
29、news,” he adds. “The bad news is that the oceans only slow the atmospheric warming. Once the oceans come to balance with a greenhouse-gas warmed earth, the extreme heat will remain in the atmosphere and things will get much hotter.” But where and how the oceans release this accumulated (积累) heat is
30、uncertain. And as the ocean stores heat, easily-damaged underwater ecosystems are struggling.The most recent scientific report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) alsonotes with concern that the ocean is acidifying(使.变酸) because of increased absorption of atmospheric CO2, and t
31、hus causing a threat for shell-forming species. Sharp increases in carbon dioxide levels will cause further acidification of the ocean. Currents distributing heatAnother important role the oceans play is that of distributor. Oceans deliver heat and life-sustaining nutrients around the globe. Just as
32、 blood vessels bring oxygen and nutrients to cells in the human body, the oceans currents carry oxygen, nutrients and heat throughout the Earth. The ocean distributes 25 to 50 percent of the energy the planet receives from the sun. For example, the Gulf Stream carries heat across the Atlantic. This
33、warm current gives northwestern Europe a milder climate than it would normally have so far north. A change to the oceans circulation (循环) patterns could throw Europe into a colder period, even as the rest of world experiences warmer temperatures. 60. We can infer from the passage that _.A. the ocean
34、s cause global warming B. the oceans stop global warmingC. the oceans release nutrientsand heat D. the ocean ecosystems face more dangers61. From the passage we can learn that the oceans currents _.A. produce oxygen and nutrients everywhere B. absorb 2550% of the energy from the sunC. distribute hea
35、t and nutrients aroundD. change the oceans circulation patterns62. Which of the following is NOT the result of the ocean absorbing heat and carbon dioxide?A. It causes further acidification.B. It affects shell-forming species.C. It makes the atmosphere hotter.D. It regulates the Earths climate. CSan
36、 Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy
37、road without getting flattened by passing cars. The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. M
38、any times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over. One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that days coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and fo
39、rmed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge “Nutty Narrows.”After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started Construction, They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire
40、hose(消防水带). It cost 1,000. It didnt take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became know in newspapers all over the world. In 1983, after 20 years
41、of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge. Peters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near th
42、e bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project. 63. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to _.

And different opinions occur amon
66、g us students. 53% of the students are in favor of the rising price. For one thing, the price of food has increased nationwide. So accordingly, the canteen has to raise the price to survive itself. For another, what these students expect is that the food quality will not change much and the rising p
67、rice will not be too high.However, 47% of the students hold the opposite view. They argue that the purpose of the canteen is to serve the students instead of making profits. At present the dish prices in the school canteen are very high. As a result, some of the students skip breakfast just to save
68、money, which may lead to poor health in the long run. As far as Im concerned, the rise of food price in the canteen can be understood. But it must be taken into consideration that students dont make money and cant afford too much a price. Therefore, a reasonable price is needed to satisfy the students.
