The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place．Now it is an ecological disaster area．Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes． For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived in the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization．The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798．He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship．He called the island Pleasant Island． However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first．The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol．These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island．A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900． Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island．In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which was a very important fertilizer for farming．The company began mining the phosphate． A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine．When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil．Then it takes away the material it wants．Strip mining totally destroys the land．Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon． In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world．Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate． Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars．In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses．Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out．Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing．By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined．Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island．This will probably never happen． 1.What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To seek help for Nauru’s problems． B．To tell a heartbreaking story of a war． C．To show the importance of money D．To give a warning to other countries 2.What was Nauru like before the Europeans came? A．Rich and powerful B．Peaceful and attractive C．Modern and open D．Greedy and aggressive 3.The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______． A．phosphate overmining B soil pollution C．farming activity D．whale hunting 4.Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem? A．Its phosphate mining cost much money B．It spent too much repairing the island C．Its leaders misused the money D．It lost millions of dollars in the civil war． 5.What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph? A．The ecological damage is difficult to repair． B．The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously． C．The island was abandoned by the Nauruans D．The phosphate mines were destroyed

请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，按照要求匹配信息，并把答案填涂在答题卡的相应位置上。填涂选项中有一项为多余项。 下面文章中有5处（第71~75题）需要添加小标题，请从以下选项中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑,选项中一项为多余选项． A． Slow Down Your Life B． Escape Now and Then C． Separate Your Actions D． Allow Yourself to Be Weak E． Relieve Pressure by Firmly Saying “ No” F． Stop Expecting Everything to Be Perfect How to Simplify Your Life Less is more．This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, relax instead of stressing, slow down instead of speeding up．Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way．You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification． 1．___ _______． When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had．Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards．If you keep grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever, because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off．But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back and get the other one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of success． 2．__________． The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations．In the modern nuclear family, the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner． If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do, then it’s not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities．A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget．The solution is equally simple: refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life． 3． ______． “I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work．People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with — until one day they break． Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with．These signals came from various areas of life．You become ill, or your work efficiency decreases． If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress．Say quite openly, "I can't manage that．" 4． _____． "If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, cleverer, then I would be happier．" This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy．Life has its flaws, defects, comets, and edges．Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life． Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous; driving a car, crossing the road．But life doesn't consist entirely of these things．In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes． 5．___________． Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work．Find out which places improve your creativity．For me it's the train．When I know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles．There can be problems working on the train, of course: if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away, or if train trips make you tired (some people fall asleep after a few miles)．

请阅读以下短文，然后以约30词概括短文内容的要点。 Is Failure a Bad Thing? Failure is what often happens in our life．Students may fail in exams, scientists may fail in their research work, and athletes may fail in competitions． Although failure happens to everyone, attitudes towards failure are various．Some people don’t think their failure is a very important thing at all．So they pay no attention to it．As a result, they will have the same failure a period later．Some people think themselves are fools and lose their hearts in everything after they get a failure．Consequently, they spend their time and energy on useless things and they may really be fools as they have thought． Other people are quite different from the two kinds of people mentioned above．Instead of being distressed and lost, they draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced．After hard work, they will be successful in the end．It is said that failure is the mother of success．Success will be gained after times of failures so long as we are good at drawing a lesson from our failures． In my opinion, failure is not a bad thing, the really bad thing is taking a failure as failure or even lose our heart after failure．
