    阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　The story began on a downtown Brooklyn street corner．An elderly man had collapsed while crossing the street, and an ambulance rushed him to Kings County Hospital．There, when he came to now and again, the man repeatedly called for his son．

    　　From a worn letter located in his pocket, an emergency room nurse learned that his son was a marine stationed in North Carolina．Apparently there were no other relatives．

    　　Someone at the hospital called the Red Cross office in Brooklyn, and a request for the boy to rush to Brooklyn was sent to the Red Cross director of the North Carolina Marine Corps camp．Because time was short－the patient was dying－the Red Cross man and an officer set out in an army vehicle．They found the young man walking through some marshes(沼泽)in a military exercise．He was rushed to the airport in time to catch the only plane that might enable him to reach his dying father．

    　　It was dusk when the young marine walked into the entrance lobby of Kings County Hospital．A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside．

    　　“Your son is here,” she said to the old man．She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened．The medicine he had been given for the pain from his heart attack made his eyes weak and he could only see the shadow of the young man in Marine Corps uniform standing outside the oxygen tent．He reached out his hand．The marine wrapped his strong fingers around the old man's weak ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement．The nurse brought a chair, so the marine could sit by the bed．

    　　Nights are long in hospitals, but all through the night the young marine sat there in the dimly lit ward(病房), holding the old man's hand and offering words of hope and strength．Occasionally, the nurse urged the marine to rest for a while．He refused．

    　　Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the marine was there, but he paid no attention to her and the night noises of the hospital－the banging of an oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff exchanging greetings, the cries and breathing of other patients．Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words．The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son through most of the night．

    　　It was nearly dawn when the patient died．The marine placed the lifeless hand he had been holding on the bed, and went to inform the nurse．While she did what she had to do, he smoked a cigarette, his first since he got to the hospital．

    　　Finally, she returned to the nurse's station, where he was waiting．She started to offer words of sympathy, but the marine interrupted her．“Who was that man?” he asked．

    　　“He was your father,” she answered, shocked．

    　　“No, he wasn't,” the marine replied．“I never saw him before in my life．”

    　　“Why didn't you say something when I took you to him?” the nurse asked．

    　　“I knew immediately there'd been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn't here．When I realized he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, I guessed he really needed me．So I stayed．”

    　　With that, the marine turned and left the hospital．Two days later a message came in from the North Carolina Marine Corps base informing the Brooklyn Red Cross that the real son was on his way to Brooklyn for his father's funeral．It turned out there had been two marines with the same name and similar numbers in the camp．Someone in the personnel office had pulled out the wrong record．

    　　But the wrong marine had become the right son at the right time．And he proved, in a very human way, that there are people who care what happens to their fellow men．

    The Finnish and Russian governments, together with the Petrozavodsk Communal Utilities Systems (PKS) and a group of international financial institutions, have signed a EUR 32 million investment project, which is intended to finance the improvement of drinking water quality and the reduction of untreated wastewater being discharged into Lake Onega in northwestern Russia.

    The PKS is currently implementing(实施) an investment project, which is intended to improve drinking water quality and upgrade the wastewater treatment facilities in Petrozavodsk, which is situated on the western shores of Lake Onega.

    The investment project will finance recycling and dewatering of sludge（烂泥） generated in the drinking water plant and modernize the wastewater treatment plant by introducing a bio-chemical process. These measures are expected to result in an annual decrease of 60 tonnes of phosphorus （磷）discharges into Lake Onega.

    The setup of the investment project has been co-operated by the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO) that provides a EUR 4 million loan for the project. A loan from the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) totals EUR 7 million. Other financing includes a EUR 5 million from the Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership (NDEP) and a EUR 2 million from the Finnish Ministry of the Environment. The contribution of Russia’s federal government, the government of the Republic of Karelia and the PKS amounts to EUR 14 million.

    The Barents Euro-Arctic Council (BEAC) has identified Petrozavodsk as one of the environmental hot spots in the region because of the lack of treatment of wastewater being discharged into Lake Onega, and the international Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM) has been keen to promote investment in wastewater treatment infrastructure and facilities in the region.

    “Concrete cooperation between neighbours is the best solution to saving our waters. This may require time and effort from all the parties, but can also result in frameworks that can offer models for water management cooperation elsewhere”, says Mr. Ville, Finland’s Minister of the Environment.

    71. What’s the purpose of the investment project?

    A. To forbid the discharging of wastewater into Lake Onega

    B. To finance the Finnish and Russian governments

    C. To offer finance to reduce the discharging of wastewater into Lake Onega

    D. To make the seawater suitable for drinking by local people　

    72. What does the underlined word “upgrade” in the second paragraph mean?

    A. improve　　 B. develop　　 C. abandon 　　 D. decrease

    73. Which of the following organizations or governments does not invest the project?
    A. The Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO)

    B. The Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership (NDEP)

    C. The government of the Republic of Karelia

    D. The Barents Euro-Arctic Council (BEAC)

    74. Why has the BEAC identified Petrozavodsk as one of the environmental hot spots in the region?

    A. Because there is no treatment of wastewater being discharged into Lake Onga.

    B. Because the ways to treat wastewater being discharged into Lake Onega are far from

    enough.

    C. Because the location of Petrozavodsk is very significant in the Baltic Sea catchment area.

    D. Because Petrozavodsk is a city of some 270,000 inhabitants.

    75. What’s the best title of the passage?

    A. The Finnish and Russian governments.

    B. A EUR 32 million investment project

    C. Water mangement cooperation elsewhere

    D. The Nordic Environment Finance Corporation

    　　Salvia Earle, a marine botanist and one of the foremost deep-sea explorers, has spent over 6, 000 hours, more than seven months, underwater．From her earliest years, Earle had a fascination for marine life, and she took her first plunge into the open sea as a teenager．

    　　Clothed in a Jim suit, a suit of plastic and metal armor, which was secured to a manned submarine, Salvia Earle plunged vertically into the Pacific Ocean, at times at a speed of 100 feet per minute．On reaching the ocean floor, she was released from the submarine and from that point her only connection to the sub was an 18-foot rope．For the next two and a half hours, Earle roamed the seabed taking notes, collecting specimens, and planting a U．S．flag．Having an irresistible desire to descend deeper still, in 1981 she became involved in the design and manufacture of deep-sea submersibles, one of which took her to a depth of 3,000 feet．This, however, did not end Sylvia Earle’s accomplishments．
