A green house is a building made of glass which is used for keeping warm when the outside temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere (mixture of gases that surround the earth) which trap the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping. These gases are known as “greenhouse gases”. and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the “greenhouse effect”. This is not simply air pollution. Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere, and without them the earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us. The problem is that in the last century and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the earth’s atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forest. The rapid increase in greenhouse gases is making the world warmer. The world’s temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10 centimetres. If the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubles, there will probably be a rise in the earth’s temperature of between I and 4℃;. This may seem a small increase, but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, our use of these gases has greatly increased. 1. According to the passage, we can know “greenhouse effect” means_______. A. the way in which gases are used for keeping plants warm B. a natural course that is to a certain degree useful to us C. the way “greenhouse gases” trap heat on the earth D. the whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat 2. If there were no greenhouse effect,_______. A. all plants would not grow on our planet B. soil would reduce the temperature by 30 degrees C. man would breathe the cleaner air D. people couldn’t live in the earth 3. Which of the following is not true? A. Burning too much coal and oil produces lots of greenhouse gases. B. It has become warm on the earth now than in the past. C. Gases put into the atmosphere now will affect the earth years later. D. The temperature in a greenhouse is as high as that in the atmosphere. 4. Suppose the earth’s temperature rose by 3 degrees, _______. A. great harm will be done to mankind B. the sea level would go up by 10 centimeters C. all the land in the world would be flooded D. crops would be unable to grow on the earth 5. This passage mainly deals with ________. A. the concept (概念) and the harm of the greenhouse B. the relation between greenhouse gases and man C. the concept and change of greenhouse effect D. the effect of the rise of the earth’s temperature

Chinese tradition says a different animal represents each new year of the 12-year Chinese Zodiac(黄道十二宫) cycle. According to the Chinese calendar, the year you were born may determine your personality. Every year of this cycle is represented by an animal, and legend has it that people born under that animal have certain personality traits. Here are some of them: Dragon The Real Thing: The mythical dragon is a symbol of power and good fortune in Chinese culture. One of the most popular figures in Chinese art, the dragon is believed to be a combination of nine animals, including a frog, a tiger, an eagle, and a fish. Born a Dragon: You go out of your way to help your friends, who often seek you out for advice. Your outgoing personality helps you get along with many types of people. Snake The Real Thing: Snakes have great instincts. Some “play dead” to fool predators（捕食者）, and most sense prey by detecting ground vibration（震动）. They can take more than an hour to swallow a meal, and they become inactive for up to two weeks before they shed their skin. Born a Snake: You rely on yourself before asking others their opinions. At times you want to take a break from the action. It’s not that you are lazy---sometimes you just like to think. Pig The Real Thing: Domesticated（驯养）pigs have been helping human for about 9,000 years. Incredibly intelligent, a pig shows its smarts by rolling in mud and sticking its snout in dirt. Why? The mud keeps it cool, and rooting in the dirt provides important vitamins. Born a Pig: Smart and caring, you live to help other people. You have great taste and love to wallow in the nicer things in life. Rat The Real Thing: Most rats are highly adaptable. They can live just about anywhere and eat about anything. Before brown rats leave their underground burrows, these clever creatures send one rat ahead to make sure danger doesn’t exist outside. Born a Rat: You welcome challenges and enjoy learning about new things. Funny and smart, you are generous and will protect your pack of friends. ______ The Real Thing: The largest of the big cats, they hunt alone. They secretly move towards prey, then leap and attack when the time seems right. Dinner still escapes most of the time. Born a _____: You are a natural leader but often like to do things by yourself. (That’s how you stay in charge!) You believe in fighting for what’s right, even if you’ll lose in the end. 1. According to the description of the last animal, we can choose _____ to fill in the blanks. A. Tiger B. Lion C. Ox D. Monkey 2. The underlined word “snout” probably means _____. A. back B. nose C. head D. tail

It is a famous beauty spot. In Sundays, hundreds of people come from the city to see our town and to walk through the woods. Visitors have asked to keep the woods clean and tidy. Litter baskets have been placed under the trees, and people still throw their rubbish everywhere. Last Wednesday, I go for a walk in the woods. That I saw made me very sad. I counted seven old cars and three old refrigerators. The litter basket were empty and the ground was covered with pieces of paper, cigarette ends, old tyres, empty bottles or rusty tins. Among the rubbish, I found a sign which was said, “Anyone who leave litter in these woods will be punished!”
