Every year there are changes in climate in different parts of the world.Some of these changes are due to natural causes.However,some climate changes are caused by air pollution and these changes may increase.

If the pollution affects the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,the results are likely to be serious.There is only a small part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.But it has an important function in keeping the balance between radiation from the sun entering the atmosphere and radiation leaving the Earth.Some of the radiation is absorbed by the Earth and some is radiated back into the atmosphere.The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere prevents some of the radiation from leaving the atmosphere.Thus the heat remains in the atmosphere and carbon dioxide helps to prevent the temperature of the Earth from falling.

If the proportion(比例)of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increased as a result of air pollution,the temperature of the atmosphere may rise.This might cause the ice in the North and South to melt.If this happened,the sea level could rise and parts of the Earth would be flooded.This is not quite likely but the possibility exists.

There is also a fairly strong possibility that the dust level in the atmosphere will rise as a result of industrial pollution.This dust pollution will reflect sunlight back onto space.If this happens,less sunlight will reach the Earth and the temperature will fall.

Another danger comes from the destruction(破坏)of the Earth’s vegetation(植物)such as the forest of Brazil,which is being cleared away for farmland and cities.Trees use carbon dioxide and their destruction may upset the balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

1.The main purpose of the passage is to tell us that .

A.the climate of the earth is always changing

B.air pollution has greatly affected the climate of the world

C.carbon dioxide has something to do with climate changes

D.the climate of the world is subjected to(使受到)dangers from air pollution

2.From this passage we learn that carbon dioxide .

A.helps to prevent the temperature of the Earth from rising

B.keeps much of the sun’s radiation from entering the atmosphere

C.plays an important part in keeping the balance of the temperature of the Earth

D.is one of natural causes of climate changes

3.Judging from this passage,if the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere went down,the temperature of the Earth would .

A.become higher B.either rise or fall

C.become lower D.neither rise nor fall

4.Which of the following is not the possible serious outcome if air pollution is related to climate changes?

A.Parts of the Earth would be flooded one day.

B.More sunlight would reach the Earth.

C.The temperature of the Earth might rise.

D.The Earth’s vegetation might be destroyed.

Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans.Alan Beck,an expert in human-animal relationship,and Nancy Edwards,a professor of nursing,are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people’s depression,physical activity,and life satisfaction.“No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active,challenged,or stimulated(刺激),” Edwards points out.“The problem is how we promote that,especially for those without friends or help.A robotic dog could be a solution.”

In the study,the robot,called AIBO,is placed for six weeks in the homes of some old people who live alone.Before placing AIBO in the home,researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks.These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO.Then,the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.

“I talk to him all the time,and he responds to my voice,”says a seventy-year-old lady.“When I’m watching TV,he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down.He has a mind of his own.”

The AIBOs respond to certain orders.The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs,especially for old people.Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it.A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.

“At the beginning,it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry,” Beck says.“But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”

“Hopefully,down the road,these robotic pets could become more valuable health helpers.They will record their masters’ blood pressure,oxygen levels,or heart rhythms.AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people’s minds.”

1.The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to .

A.understand human-animal relationship

B.find the causes of old people’s loneliness

C.make lonely old people’s life better

D.promote the animal-assisted research

2.In the research,the old people are asked to .

A.note the activities of AIBOs

B.keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks

C.analyze the collected information

D.record their feelings and activities

3.What is the advantage of AIBOs over live dogs?

A.They can watch TV with their owners.

B.They can help the disabled people.

C.They respond to all the human orders.

D.They are easier to keep at home.

4.The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may .

A.keep old people active

B.cure certain diseases

C.change people’s beliefs

D.look more like real dogs

Music is magic! Music speaks louder than words and it is a “language” that the whole world can understand. A piece of music can produce a response in the heart and mind. Like feeling an electrical current or receiving a personal radio signal, music has a spiritual effect on a person. Different kinds of music influence people in different ways.

I have listened to music all my life. When I was twelve years old, the Beatles came to America and my whole world opened up. Maybe young people today cannot understand the influence of the Beatles when they exploded across America. Their influence changed the way we dressed, looked, acted and spoke... even our culture. The Beatles arrived in America from the UK just under three months after the assassination(暗杀) of President John Kennedy, which had put America into a great depression. And the freshness and lively spirit of the Beatles was exactly what the country needed to refresh itself.

Music links the heart of the hearer with that of the composer. This means that it mixes the spirit of the composer with your spirit when you listen to it. And the music can take your spirit out of your body and transport you into another world. Music has a great way of touching people. Music can make you laugh, cry or shout. It's also a great source of inspiration.

Try this one day and notice what happens: make yourself a cup of tea, sit on your sofa and play one of your favorite songs. Close your eyes, and soon you'll find yourself creating vivid mental images—matching the music that you are listening to.

1.Music has magical power because it ________.

A. is a kind of language

B. can be played much louder than words

C. receives a personal radio signal

D. can influence a person's spirit

2.One can learn from the second paragraph that the Beatles ________.

A. were the biggest band in American history

B. are not accepted by modern American people

C. appeared at a special time in American politics

D. represented the roots of American culture

3.One will do all of the following while listening to music EXCEPT ________.

A. feeling very refreshed

B. having emotional changes

C. painting some vivid pictures

D. feeling inspired by the composer

4.It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.

A. has been influenced by the Beatles

B. enjoys drinking tea in his spare time

C. admires President John Kennedy very much

D. likes to match his own feeling with that of the composer

Nobody wants to reach the end of their life and experience regret. Instead, we desire to experience satisfaction with the life we’ve been given. 1. . To live a life without regret in the future, you should try to stay away from the following four common unhealthy habits.

2. It is good to have a destination to go to but it is the journey that matters in the end. Too often, we live our lives from destination to destination. But life is not lived merely in these destinations. In fact, it is far more often lived in the pathways between them. We should appreciate the joy in the journey rather than always hurry to the next destination.

Be defined by your negative circumstances. Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most. This is an important truth and an important promise. Our lives should not be defined by the negative circumstances that happened in our past. They may have affected our lives, but they do not write the final chapter. 3.

Focus entirely on yourself. The size of our universe becomes smaller considerably when we place ourselves at the center. 4. On the contrary, those who see their life as an opportunity to bring joy to others quickly find it themselves.

5. Every excess (过量) adds burden to our lives. And yet we continue to pursue and accumulate more than we need—more houses, more cars, more clothes, and more dishes. Owning less means less cleaning, less burden, less anxiety, and less stress each day. It provides the space and opportunity to pursue the things in life that bring lasting satisfaction to our lives.

A. Blame everybody else.

B. Carry more than you need.

C. It is we ourselves who hold the pen.

D. Miss the joy of the journey for the destination.

E. Only a fool believes the wide road is necessarily the right road.

F. The fact is that too many people experience regret at the lives they chose to live.

G. And the people who are most focused on themselves are the least satisfied in life.

It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socializing with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front.

German troops held up Christmas trees with signs “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.

Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socializing movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.

Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce(休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “ Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it describes.

You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.

1.The soldiers began socializing with the enemy because ______.

A. they couldn’t bear the meaningless killing.

B. it was the best way to avoid being killed.

B. they feared that they would be caught.

D. their enemies were from similar backgrounds.

2.How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socializing?

A. They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison.

B. They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart.

C. They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.

D. They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.

3.The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “____”.

A. satisfied B. shocked C. amused D. confused

4.The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ____.

A. are not trustworthy under stress.

B. are naturally aggressive and warlike

C. are basically caring and kind-hearted

D. will always do what is in their own self-interest
