(C)

A very important world problem is the growth of population on the earth. The population of the world today is more than 6,500,000,000. That is a great number and we know it quite well. The important thing is not how large the population of the world is now, but is the rate (速度) of the growth. It is about 1.63% every year after the number of dead people has been taken away.

To give you some ideas of the birth rate, look at the second hand of your watch. Every second, four babies are born in the world. Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! Another baby! You can not speak quickly enough to keep up with the birth rate. The population is growing faster and faster. So it goes on, hour after hour. In one day, people have to find food for over 350,000 mouths more.

This great growth of population will make a big problem by the year 2010-there will be as many as 7,000,000,000 people on the earth! So this is one of the biggest problems that you are going to meet within your life.

(B)

Lamu was a 12-year-old Tibetan girl. She wanted to go to Beijing to watch the 2008 Olympics. Only one month ago, Lamu still thought it would be difficult.

In the past Tibet had no railroad (铁路). If Lamu took a bus, it would take her a long time to reach Beijing. And a plane ticket would cost lots of money.

However, things changed for Lamu. She was able to buy a ticket to the world’s highest railroad. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway had been completed! The 1,142-kilometer railroad runs on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau (高原). Lamu could reach Beijing by train in 48 hours!

About 550 kilometers of the railroad are constructed on the frozen earth (冻土). When the frozen earth warms in summer, it can move the track. But Chinese scientists have built a special structure to solve the problem. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has been designed with the wild animals in the designers’ minds. It also has special underpasses (地下通道) for animals like Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) to go through.

“The new railroad greatly helps Tibet’s tourism,”said Liu Yueqin, an expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (中国社科院).

As more tourists take trains to Tibet, there are more money for Tibetans. With the money, more kids can go to school.

The railroad also makes things less expensive in Tibet. Now one can buy a TV set for about 1,500 yuan. It used to be much higher than that price. When there was no railroad, it had been difficult to send things in and out of Tibet. With the new railroad, shopping can be more convenient (方便的) and faster.

31.(　 )The special underpasses are _____ to go through.

A.only for Tibet’s antelopes　　　　　　　　　 B.for Tibet’s tourism

C.for animals　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D.for Tibetans

32.(　 )Which of the following about the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is TRUE?

A.It is not the highest railroad in the world.

B.It’s the longest railroad in the world.

C.Scientists have no way to solve the problem of the frozen earth.

D.Wild animals have special underpasses to go through.

33.(　 )After the new railroad was completed _____.

A.everyone could buy a cheaper TV set

B.Tibetans can do business in and out of Tibet and develop their tourism

C.more and more people could fly to Tibet as soon as possible

D.more and more animals would be killed by people

34.(　 )Before the railroad was finished, _____.

A.all Tibetan children could go to school

B.the transportation in Tibet was convenient and fast, too

C.it was hard for Tibetans to buy and sell things in and out of Tibet

D.the Tibetans had never walked out of Tibet

35.(　 )The best title (标题) of the passage is “_____”.

A.Something about a 12-year-old Tibetan Girl

B.Reaching Beijing from Tibet by Train in Forty-eight Hours

C.High-tech (高科技) Brings the Tibetans Happiness
