| After years of searching, the seeker was told to go to a cave, in which there was a well. "Ask the well what is 1 ", he was advised. Having 2 the well, the seeker asked the question. From the 3 came the answer: "Go to the village crossroad: there you shall find what you are 4 ." The man ran to the crossroad, only to find three rather small 5 . One was selling pieces of metal, another sold wood, and thin wires were for sale in the third. 6 seemed to have much to do with the truth. Disappointed, the seeker returned to the well to 7 an explanation, but he was told only: "You will 8 in the future." Angry about having been made fool of, the seeker 9 his wanderings in search of truth.

| With more and more wineries (酿酒厂) offering organic varieties to lower their eco-footprint (生态足迹), it's no surprise that they're looking at the environmental impacts of their packaging as well. The making of conventional glass bottles and the corks (软木塞) uses large quantities of natural resources and causes a lot of pollution. Beyond manufacturing, the transport of wine in glass bottles across the country and around the world also has its environmental effect. Trucking all the heavy glass bottles causes a much larger carbon footprint than the transportation of much lighter boxed wine. Almost half the weight of an ordinary case of wine comes from the bottles; about 95 percent of the weight of a case of boxed wine is the wine itself. "A standard wine bottle holds 750 milliliters of wine and causes about 5.2 pounds of carbon dioxide when it travels from a farm in California to a store in New York," reports Colman, a researcher. "A 3-liter box causes about half the carbon dioxide per 750 milliliters." According to the Wine Group, the third largest wine company in the world and a big advocate for switching away from glass bottles, there are other advantages to boxed wine (which typically includes a plastic bag within a cardboard box). The vacuum (真空的) packaging of boxed wine allows it to stay fresh for up to six weeks in the fridge once the seal is broken and the first glass has been poured. Still, despite the benefits, boxed wine may still be a tough pill to swallow for many wine experts. "Even those traditionalists who are coming around to the idea that maybe screw caps (螺旋盖) are fine for some wines, would not like the idea of a cellar (酒窖) full of cardboard boxes," says wine writer Lee Asbell. "It is difficult to imagine how wine service at fine-dining establishments would handle such a change." For now, boxed wine is still the field of cheaper brands. But that could all change as more and more wine makers and drinkers take responsibility for saving the Earth. |
| 1. Compared with glass bottled wine, boxed wine _______. |
| A. wastes more natural resources B. is difficult to transport C. causes less eco-footprint D. takes up more space |
| 2. What do we know about boxed wine from the passage? |
| A. Corks are still needed to close it B. It's not suitable for long-distance transport C. It must be kept in the fridge during the transport D. The special packaging makes it stay fresh longer once it's opened |
| 3. From the last paragraph, we can infer that _______. |
| A. wine drinkers think boxed wine has a different taste B. a cellar isn't a good place to store cardboard boxed wine C. boxed wine is more expensive than glass bottled wine D. many wine experts still find it hard to accept boxed wine |
| 4. The author writes this passage to _______. |
| A. call on people to drink less wine B. advise packaging wine with different materials C. advocate using boxes to store wine D. introduce how to keep wine fresh after the bottle is opened |

| Elephants and people are in competition for space. In much of Africa, elephants are now put in national parks. Elephants suffered a serious and steady decrease in numbers in the 1970s. This wa s the same time when scientists were beginning to learn a great deal about elephants and their behavior. Studies through the 1980s and into the 1990s showed a lot about their sounds and methods of communication. In Kenya alone, in the 1970s and 1980s, the elephant population decreased from 170,000 to 25,000. The sharp drop in numbers was the result of poachers (偷猎者) illegally killing elephants for their ivory. The price of ivory went from $3 a pound to $50 to $100 a pound. Africa became very attractive to poachers. Bull elephants carried the largest tusks (象牙), so they were more often killed. With males gone and older females killed by poachers as well, there were many young elephants unable to benefit from the wisdom of the older females and matriarchs, who lead the herds. Kenya took a stand, international trade in ivory was officially forbidden, and $3,000,000 worth of confiscated (没收的) ivory was burned in Kenya. The following year, only 50 elephants were lost to poachers in Kenya instead of 3,000. But Kenya has the fastest growing human population in the world. People throughout Africa won't tolerate elephants eating their crops and destroying their livelihoods. In South Africa, elephants live behind the fences of national parks. In some parts of Africa, big-game hunters pay a lot of money to hunt elephants. This keeps their numbers down, and the money goes toward conservation. In Kenya, there were some attempts at birth control to keep the elephant population at manageable numbers to reduce conflicts with people. Faced with a growing human population, elephants are losing the battle for space. It's unlikely, though, that they will become extinct. They will live in natural parks that bring tourists to Africa as well as India and other parts of Asia. The money from tourism will help elephants to survive. |
| 1. Bull elephants were at higher risk of being killed because _______. |
| A. they were the leaders of the herds B. they possessed bigger ivory C. they were of smaller size D. they ran slowly |
| 2. In the 1970s and 1980s, _______. |
| A. scientists learned little about elephants B. most ivory was sold at a reasonable price C. many young elephants are gaining less wisdom D. the elephant population decreased because of the terrible climate |
| 3. Some big-game hunters are still allowed to hunt elephants because _______. |
| A. elephants are eating their crops B. they are pursuing fun instead of profit C. the money they pay can be used to save elephants D. they are not hunting in national parks |
| 4. We know from the passage that in Kenya _______. |
| A. the human population is growing fast B. it's likely that elephants will become extinct C. confiscated ivory will be kept in national parks D. no attempts were made to reduce elephants' conflicts with people |

| Researchers believe the mobile phone system makes young people less thoughtful and more likely to make mistakes elsewhere in life. Hitting a few keys and then seeing the desired word appear in full trains children to be fast but inaccurate when doing other things, according to Australian scientists. They warn that this could have repercussions throughout the country, especially as more than 9 out of 10 16-year-olds now own a mobile phone as well as 40 percent of primary schoolchildren. In a new study, Professor Michael Abramson, a researcher at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, analyzed the mobile phone use of children aged between 11 and 14 and their ability to carry out a number of computer tests. A quarter of the children made more than 15 voice calls a week and a quarter of them wrote more than 20 text messages a week. When researchers studied the way in which the children handled IQ-type tests they found that increased mobile phone use appears to change the way their brains work. Prof Abramson said, "The kids who used their phones a lot were faster on some of the tests, but were less accurate. "We suspect that using mobile phones a lot, particularly tools like predictive texts for SMS (Short Message Service), is training them to be fast but inaccurate. "Their brains are still developing, so if there are effects then potentially it could have effects in the future. "The use of mobile phones is changing the way children learn and pushing them to become more impulsive (易冲动的) in the way they behave." Experts concerned about the possible impact of mobile phone radiation on developing brains have given a warning over children's use of them. But Prof Abramson says the amount of radiation given off when texting is a mere 0.03 percent of that given off during voice calls - suggesting radiation is not to blame for the brain effects. Instead, he thinks predictive texting could be doing the damage. The study was published in the journal Bioelectromagnetics and disagreed with previous studies which suggested that text messaging encourages children's language skills and did not damage their ability to spell. |
| 1. The underlined word "repercussions" probably means _______. |
| A. negative effects B. profits C. chances D. positive influences |
| 2. Abramson probably agrees that _______. |
| A. voice calls produce less radiation than texting B. text messaging is bad for children's spelling C. mobile phone use encourages children's language skills D. children can be more accurate if they use mobiles a lot |
| 3. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? |
| A. Mobile phone use is training children to be fast B. Children use mobile phones much more than before C. The negative impacts of mobile phone radiation D. Text messaging is making children more impulsive |
