| Rabbits are easy to raise. They are clean and quiet. They don't need a lot of room. And it costs a small amount of money to feed them , but you get a big return. One male and two females will produce as many as fifty more rabbits in a year. That is enough to provide enough meat for a family. Rabbit meat is high in protein and low in fat. You don't have to be a farmer to raise rabbits. You can raise them in the city. Rabbit houses are easy to make with wood and wire. They don't have to be very big. But each rabbit must have its own little room in the house. This is very important. Each room should be about 75 centimeters wide,60 centimeters high and one meter deep. Fencing is used for the sides and floor of the rabbit house. The holes in the wire fencing should be about one centimeter square.Waste from the animals will drop through the holes. This keeps the rabbit house clean and dry. Rabbits need a lot of fresh air and sunlight. Cover the sides of the rabbit house only to protect it from rain. Rabbits eat mostly grass and leaves. Hang feeding containers on the outside of the house to let the rabbits eat whenever they want. They simply pull the grass and leaves through the holes in the fence. Each room should have fresh water. The water containers should be heavy so the rabbits cannot turn them over. Or you can tie the containers to the fence. One month after mating (交配) , female rabbits give birth to about eight babies. In two months,a baby rabbit should weigh about two kilograms. This is big enough to make a meal for a small family. Rabbits are also valuable for their fur. It takes time, skill and money to prepare the fur and skin for use. If you have only a few rabbits,it probably would be best to let a tanner (制革工) prepare the fur for you. Skill is also needed to remove the fur from the rabbit. But rabbits do not have to be dead to be valuable .Many people enjoy keeping rabbits as friendly pets. And rabbit waste makes an excellent fertilizer(肥料) . Itcanbemixeddirectly into the soil to improve the growth of vegetables , trees and flowering plants. |

| Widespread evidence links global warming to a series of environmental effects. Starving polar bears are eating one another in the Arctic. Flowers are blooming (盛开) too soon and die. The ice caps are melting so fast that rising water levels will threaten coastal towns along Florida within several decades. These are just a few examples of the terrible consequences of climate change discovered by a new research in Nature that paints a dark portrait of what a warming world will look like in the years to come. The researchers analyzed 829 abnormal phenomena-including melting glaciers (冰川)-along with nearly 30, 000 changes in plants and animals.and found that about 90% of them are in sync (同步) with scientists' predictions about how global warming will change the planet. "In the past three decades, average global temperatures have risen about 0. 60C and are projected to jump by about l.7℃ by the end of the century," says Cynthia Rosenzweig, who leads the Climate Impacts Group at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University in New York. " We've already seen that a relatively low amount of warming, "she says , " can result in a broad range of changes. " The unnatural warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases , especially carbon dioxide produced by cars and coal-powered plants, brings trouble for entire ecosystems. In North America alone, scientists have identified 89species of plants . such as the American holly , which have flowered earlier in the spring. In Spain , apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule. in response to the higher temperatures. Other wildlife , liketheinsects that use certain plants for food and the birds that feed on the insects, must then move forward their seasonal stirrings and mating patterns to survive. To try to follow this time shift.some birds such as robins.the classic symbol of winter'sthaw , are returning toColorado fromtheir migrations some two weeks earlier than in years past. All these changes can throw a food chain in disorder, some bird species that arrive before the insects reappear may starve to death. "Around the world, plants and animals 'are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to, "says 'rerry Root, a biologist from Stanford University. |
| 1. The author describes some unnatural phenomena in Paragraph 2 to_____. |
| A. show a picture of the present world B. present the results of a recent research C. indicate the earth is now in great danger D. call readers' attention to the new research |
| 2. The analysis of abnormal phenomena on earth shows that _______ . |
| A. most changes agree with scientists' previous predictions B. global warming has changed all the plants and animals C. melting glaciers have caused the worst side effects D. scientists made wrong predictions about the future of earth |
| 3. Why must some birds move about earlier than usual?______ |
| A. Because the warm weather wakes them up earlier. B. Because certain trees bloom a month ahead of time. C. Because they need to follow some insects for food. D. Because the plants they use to hunt food bloom late. |
| 4. What do we know about robins?______ |
| A. Farmers depend on them to tell the time. B. They used to come back when spring came. C. They used to predict the change of weather. D. They usually migrate when seasons change. |
| 5. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?______ |
| A. Man Is to Blame for Global Warming B. Humans Are Causing the World to Heat Up C. The Terrible Consequences of Climate Change D. Global Warming Is Changing Nature's Clock |

| The best thing you can say about the roofs of most city buildings is that you don't have to look at them much. That's very good, since an urban landscape viewed from above can be an unlovely thing-blockafterblockof tarred(铺有沥青的 ) black rooftops , stickyin summer. windswept in winter and ugly year-round.Or at least that's the way it used to be. But urban roofs are going green. Fnvironmental designers have begun to realize that the tops of buildings don't have to be wastelands. Indeed, they can be gardens, planted with grasses,flowers and bushes. A planted roof usually comes in one of two varieties : extensive or intensive. The extensive type is wide and shallow, with a soil depth of less than 8 inches, able to support smaller plants. The intensive type may be smaller,but it's relatively deeper and home to larger plants. Whatever the design,green roofs are not so simple as ordinary gardens. They have multiple layers beneath the soil, including a drainagelayer , waterproofing , structuralsupport , andso on. But this system can do a great deal of good. A recent paper in the joumal BioScience tells that green roofs can control temperature , contain water and clean the air. And most impressively , they can cut heat loss from a building by 50% ,lower air-conditioning costs by 25% , and reduce the urban-heated-island effect by 2℃. Of course,apart from the square feet greened and heat reduced. green roofs are even more valued since people can gain some psychological comfort simply by having a quiet place to go. As so often happens,what's good for the planet can also be good for the spirit.  1.________2._________3.__________4.___________5.___________ 6.________7._________8.__________9.___________10.__________ |
