    　　Mis. Harris, an old patient in a nursing home, sat all day in a chair. She did nothing else. She needed complete physical care, even feeding. No one seemed to realize that, as a matter of fact, she was only half deaf and blind. One day, a young doctor saw cataracts (白内障) in both her eyes. He discovered that if he spoke close in her ear, she seemed to respond. One eye of hers was operated on, and when it was first uncovered, the old woman cried with joy.

    Humankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civili­zation. Back then, as well as today, providing food and security was the basic task for a per­son. However, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded significantly. People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as a piece of bread and a roof over their heads, but also for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. In turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost unavoidably as­sociated with environmental damage.
    Economic growth is the increase in numbers of goods and services produced over time by an economy, and it is calculated in terms of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Before growth is calculated, inflation (通货膨胀)is adjusted in order to take into account its mis­leading effect on the price of goods and services. Economic growth can also be explained as the increase in expected output, which results from an increase in actual output, or total de­mand.
    There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment. The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the con­struction of large industrial plants is required. These plants produce a lot of waste, leading to the pollution of water and the atmosphere, which may cause negative long term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people. They also lead to global warming.
    Industrial manufacturing leads to the constantly increasing energy consumption. The traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment. There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy. They are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time, during which people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertak­ings.
    In order to produce economically practical energy, a sometimes significant transforma­tion of the natural site is often inevitable. This is expensive and, has harmful effects on the environment. Application of wind energy would block airflows’ natural speed which is the reason for their decrease in strength, after crossing the windmill. Consequently, the pres­sure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to re­member that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure.
    For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without any resulting environmental damage, whatsoever, is impossible.
    【小题1】What does the passage mainly talk about?

    A． Pollution caused by plant construction.
    B． Effects of windmills on the environment.
    C． Economic growth and human civilization.
    D． Economic growth and environmental damage.
    【小题2】What does the underlined word “They” in the third paragraph refer to?
    A．Goods and productsB．The industrial plants
    C． Water and atmosphere D．Negative health effects
    【小题3】According to the passage, the author holds the opinion that ______.
    A． economic growth should be calculated in terms of GDP
    B． use of natural resources causes no damage to the environment
    C． industrial manufacturing may cause damage to the environment
    D． a windmill is a perfect way to produce economically practical energy
    【小题4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

    　　Almost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park．But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesn't mean they can be taken lightly．Kids experience fears and phobias(恐惧症)much more strongly than adults．And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological(心理的)．It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything--a kind of childhood anxiety．Dr．Creswell says：" Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge．" So don't make the same old mistake of treating them as if they' re silly for being a "scared cat"．Handling the fears is necessary．

    　　Children can be born nervous and, if you have such a baby, you'll tend to prevent them from getting worried．So if they fear dogs, you'll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary．What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia．Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment．Dr．Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says ：" You shouldn't force, for example, a dog-anxious child to go up to a dog．But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke(扶摸)it, and talk about the dog being friendly．Once your child dares to stroke a dog－one that' s good with children, of course－then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for being 'brave'．

    (1)

    Children's fears are usually taken lightly because ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    they will not develop into phobias

    B．

    their influence is psychological

    they exist widely and commonly in the world

    D．

    (2)

    If we fail to help children to overcome fears, they will ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    make the same old mistake

    B．

    overcome them by themselves

    C．

    experience the worst of things

    D．

    grow up lacking self-confidence

    (3)

    According to Dr．Andy Field, if a child is afraid of a cat, parents should ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    tell the child not to be afraid of it

    B．

    show and encourage the child how to approach it

    C．

    keep the child away from it

    D．

    　　As a boy growing up on a farm near the Caribbean coast of Colombia(哥伦比亚), Alvaro Cogollo loved both plants and vallenato, the traditional music of the region．As a biology student in the 1970s, Cogollo traveled around the country to document its rich botanical heritage and, informally, studied the music that tells an important story of Colombia．

    　　"We were colonized by the Spanish; later, Africans were brought as slaves to exploit gold mines; and the native peoples were already here," he says．"That is what authentic vallenato represents with its three instruments：the accordion(手风琴), from a European origin; la caja drum, which is of African origin; and la guacharaca, a beating instrument made from a palm tree, which is from native American orgin．”

    　　Over the course of his nearly four-decade career, Cogollo has discovered more than 150 new species of plants, 17 of which bear his name．Although Cogollo never earned a PhD, his colleagues say he' s made invaluable contributions to knowledge of Colombia’s plant at a time when deforestation(砍伐森林)is a big threat to the country' s biodiversity．Governments have focused on trying to move the country out of poverty and conflict through exploiting its natural resources, not through scientific resource development．But Cogollo sees things a different way．By educating the public about alternative uses for the land, and researching plants' potential uses－including as medicines, foods, and bio-fuels－Golombi-a could improve its economy and quality of life without neglecting conservation, Cogollo says．

    　　Cogollo's other major achievement has been the transformation of a neglected botanical garden in a Medellm neighborhood into a well-known center for research, environmental education, and community gatherings．What had been a club for wealthy orchid enthusiasts now offers free admission and attracts rich and poor alike．The success of the botanical garden has in turn contributed to the transformation of Medellm．Once seriously damaged, by violent wars between aimed groups, the city has had some improvements that include better public safety, tougher pollution controls and the creation of green spaces．

    　　What Cogollo has focused his latest efforts on is teaching Colombians from all social classes and backgrounds about the importance of biodiversity and conservation through a shared musical heritage．"The fact that Alvaro' s been able to give talks to audiences filled with all kinds of people is very important, and that's what happened in Medellin the first time he talked about vallenato music," Dr．Forcro says．"People sitting there had no idea of environmental conservation, and then they did．"

    (1)

    What’s the main feature of vallenato music?

    [　　]

    A．

    It records the history of Colombia．

    B．

    It sounds like the voice of plants．

    C．

    It plays with local instruments．

    D．

    It has origins from all over the world．

    (2)

    While protecting the environment, Cogolla attached importance to ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the research of music

    B．

    the protection of plants

    C．

    the improvement of people’s life

    D．

    the communication with different people

    (3)

    The purpose of rebuilding the botanical garden is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    to raise the public’s environmental consciousness

    B．

    to set up a club for rich orchid enthusiasts

    C．

    to give talks about vallenato music

    D．

    to create a fair economic system

    (4)

    People from different backgrounds came to Cogolla’s reports about biodiversity mainly because of ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    their common interest in Vallenato music

    B．

    their improved environmental consciousness

    C．

    his popularity in environmental protection

    D．

    his previous achievements in the city development
