    World Expo on December 3.
         Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.
         "I'm very proud of being Chinese," said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated to
    Beijing Medical University."The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but for the
    people of the whole Chinese nation." Bidding (申办) for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing
    a more important role on the international stage. It's competing for large events and the next one could be the
    World Cup, Wang said.
         The World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will become the twin shining stars of China's

         The World Expo is a great event for different countries to exchange social, economic, cultural and scientific
    achievements, and also help to encourage new technology and ideas.
         The expo was first held in London in 1851. It has a history of global influence. 
         The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became the symbol of the French capital.

         TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the
    sea. Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five
    metres above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging
    plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered.
         But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for
    its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm
    by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year.
    Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times a year. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it
    stands, Tuvalu's rising sea level is caused by global warming.
         The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century;
    scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.
         Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures
    also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about
    10-25 cm in the last 100 years.
         The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been
    increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse
    effect, making the planet even warmer. Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will
    be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.
         Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with "climate refugees" looking for somewhere to live.
    1. We can infer from the second paragraph the _____.
    A. Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea
    B. All Tuvalu's islands are about five meters above the sea level
    C. Drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyed
    D. Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves
    2. The author uses Tuvalu and Venice as examples in order to explain _____.
    A. they are the first places sinking into the sea
    B. they are both sinking into the mud where they stand
    C. they will disappear in the future
    D. their trouble is caused by global warming
    3. What does "climate refugees" mean?
    A. People who are forced away from their homeland by climate.
    B. Climate changes.
    C. Rare animals.
    D. Climate effect.
    4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. Tuvalu's nine islands are less than five meters above the sea level.
    B. The average global temperature has risen by 1-3 centigrade degrees over the 100 years.
    C. The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise.
    D. There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped.

         Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way
    many North Americans interact (互动) these days. The term is "networked individualism". This concept is
    not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals (个体)
    and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
         Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks
    included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it
    was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time. A recent research study by the Pew Internet and
    American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced
    this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that's a good
    thing. Why?
          In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too
    much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The
    Internet connects us with more real people than expected-helpful people who can give advice on careers,
    medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that
    the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
         Thanks to the computer. We are able to be alone and together with other people-at the same time!
    1. The underlined phrase "networked individualism" probably means that by using computers people  _____.
    A. stick to their own ways no matter what other people say
    B. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
    C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
    D. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people
    2. According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?
    A. Networks.
    B. Friends.
    C. Phones.
    D. Parents.
    3. It can be inferred from the Pew study that _____.
    A. people have been separated from each other by using computers
    B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
    C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication
    D. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing
    4. Which would be the best title for this passage?
    A. We're Alone on the Internet.
    B. We're Communicating on the Internet.
    C. We're Alone Together on the Internet.
    D. We're in the Imaginary World of the Internet.
