| United Nations Climate Change Conference The UN Climate Change conference opened in Copenhagen,Denmark on Dec,7th with some 15,000 delegates and observers from nearly 200 countries attending what is called the last best chance for an agreement to combat (与……战斗) global warming. Their aim is to find common ground,including on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions,promotion and transfer of new more ecofriendly technology and the necessary funding to make this possible,especially for the less developed and poorer nations.It also means coming up with long term vision and cooperation for the future. Most scientists believe the warming trend is mainly caused by human activity,especially the use of fossil fuels and the cutting down of forests.Skeptics (怀疑论者) say global warming is part of a natural cycle of climate change. In Copenhagen,experts and officials alike are putting the emphasis on what people and governments can do to cut the emission of greenhouse gases. Scientists say a 25 to 40 percent cut in carbondioxide emissions is needed to control global warming. The European Union,China,and India have already promised reductions.The United States is waiting for Congressional (国会的) approval for a proposal put forward by the Obama administration. Barack Obama,President of the United States said,"Each of us must do what,we can when we can to grow our economies without endangering our planet-and we must all do it together.We must seize the opportunity to make Copenhagen a significant step forward in the global fight against climate change." Desmond Tutu,Archbishop of South Africa said,"Worldwide,we have the chance to start turning the tide of climate change,but only if all governments commit themselves to a fair,binding(有约束力的) and sustainable climate agreement in Copenhagen." 1. From the first paragraph we can infer that________. A. people think that this conference is of no use B. this conference is the last one to be held about the climate change C. before this conference nothing could be done with the climate D. people expect a final agreement will be achieved 2. Which is NOT included in the aim of this conference? A. To reduce the emission of the greenhouse gases. B. To develop the agriculture of the developed countries. C. To cooperate with each other for the future. D. To transfer new more ecofriendly technology. 3. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A. The USA refuses to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. B. The European Union is waiting for all its members'approval. C. China and India have agreed to cut carbondioxide emissions. D. South Africa doesn't think much of this conference. 4. What is Obama's attitude according to his words? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Regretful. 5. ________is the reason of global warming according to the skeptics. A. Human activity B. Fossil fuels C. The cutting down of trees D. Natural climate change |

| By analyzing academic data from 10 states,representing the testing of more than 7.2 millions of youths,US researchers found that gender differences in math scores were extremely small among all ethnic groups in grades 211. These findings are in contrast to earlier results from 1990 that indicate measurable differences favoring males in complex problemsolving,beginning in the high school years. Janet Hyde from University of Wisconsin and colleagues reported their study results in the journal Science on Friday. Currently,women are largely absent from the highest levels of careers in mathematics,the physical sciences,and engineering.In the United States,Ph.D.programs in engineering currently average only about 15 percent women,and similar statistics have led to stereotypes (成见) about girls and women lacking in mathematical ability. Now,it is clear that the general population no longer shows a gender difference in mathematical skills, according to this latest report. And this new data on academic performance in the United States shows that students are tested frequently on "recall" and "skill/concept" items,but rarely on "strategic thinking" (战略思维) or "extended thinking" concepts. If standardized tests do not assess the sorts of reasoning that are crucial to careers in science and math, the skills may not be taught,putting American students at a disadvantage to students in other countries where testing and instruction focuses on more challenging content."This is a gap that should be fixed," Hyde said. 1. What is the best title of the passage? A. A new study result about math. B. No gender differences in math. C. Girls are not good at math. D. Girls do better in math than boys. 2. Earlier research results________. A. are the same as that of this latest report B. support gender differences in math C. indicate girls prefer to solve complex problems D. are the roots of many stereotypes about women 3. The underlined word "crucial" in the last paragraph most probably means________. A. limited B. available C. important D. equal 4. What Hyde said in the last paragraph means that________. A. standardized tests should assess different classes around the world B. testing and instruction should focus on more challenging content in the USA C. students in other countries are cleverer than American students D. students should be tested frequently on "recall" and "skill/concept" items 5. The passage is most probably taken from________. A. a learning guide B. a research paper C. a personal diary D. a newspaper |

| It might have been a really bad stressful day,feeling trapped inside by the cold and snow which surrounded us.My husband was the first to shift his consciousness.He dressed accordingly and announced that he was going outside to build a giant snowman. At first he stood alone,piling massive amounts of snow.Soon after a neighbor joined my husband to embrace the opportunity the winter presented.Maintaining less than desirable attitudes,we reluctantly put on our snow gear (用具) and headed outside.It wasn't long before we were smiling and enjoying the abundance of snow that Mother Nature had provided.Others came to our yard one by one to give a hand in the making of our giant snowman. In the end we all stood back and marveled at what we had created.He was eleven feet high,twentyfive feet around at the base and decorated with many household items supplied by various families.There he stood,our glorious,gigantic (巨人般的) snowman. People drove by and smiled.Some even stopped to enjoy his existence.The spirit that went into creating him seemed to catch on and we all enjoyed it while the cold temperatures allowed. With the passing of time,the spring made its way back into our yard and the snowman changed form considerably.In a final effort to save what we created for just a little bit longer,somebody stopped by and changed the snowman's remains to look like a rabbit. As I prepared for the start of another week,I decided to check my email before going to bed.I found a curious message that contained the subject line:enjoy the snowman.I decided to read the message even though I did not recognize who sent it.The words it contained melted my heart. The email said:...your neighbor looks on in disbelief!I am sure you people are enjoying the sounds and smells,along with sights of spring.The energy displayed in Mr Snowman or Ms,is filled with vigor and joyous energy.You and your family keep it up,as this is what the world needs now.Love sweet love. More power to you and your loved ones,keep sharing with the world around. Perhaps it was more than snowman we built that day.I'd like to agree that it was.The message seems clear.Our circumstances will turn out to be what we make of them.The possibilities are endless and the choice is ours. 1. How did the author plan to spend that cold day at first? A. By having a busy day. B. By staying at home. C. By building a snowman. D. By visiting neighbors. 2. The reason for her husband to make a snowman was that________. A. he had to please his neighbors B. he was better at it than others C. he wanted to cheer himself up D. he must get the last chance before spring 3. From the passage we can know that the snowman________. A. was built only by the author's family B. was surprisingly big in size C. made people more forgiving D. made building snowman popular 4. Which of the following is NOT expressed in the email? A. Likes of the nice snowman. B. Sorry for snowman's leave. C. Thanks for the family's efforts. D. Appreciation of the author's style. 5. The author told us the story in order to show that________. A. there is a large collection of chances in our life B. choices are more practical than possibilities C. we must have our own ideas about our decision D. we can determine our way of life through our choice |

| 阅读表达。 Even if you really enjoy your job,it's still possible to battle boredom as you work.You may not be able to make big changes-or change your job-but you can make small adjustments to your routine that can make every day seem,well,a little less routine. 1. Switch Your Seat Change your outlook at the office by changing your office.Ask your supervisor to help you find a new desk.Even switching desks with a neighboring coworker can offer a fresh atmosphere. If it's not possible to change your location,see if you can change your desk's direction.A new view can be just as refreshing as a new location. 2. ________ Start and end your day in a different way.Consider a new mode of transportation,if it's possible.Take a subway.Ride a bike on sunny days.Carpool with a coworker.Use a new route to get to your job.You needn't change it for ever-just long enough to help you escape the boredom 3. Find a New Work Style Sick of attending that longstanding Monday morning meeting?Try to change it to the afternoon. If you find yourself feeling most bored in the afternoons,try to arrange to do your favorite tasks then and tackle less desirable projects in the mornings. If you usually communicate with coworkers via email and instant messaging,start dealing with people face to face.Increased communication with coworkers may help improve your mood. 4. Get and Set a Goal If your work is short of objectives,it's no wonder that work has become boring.Identify a goal and set an "achieve by" date for it. Your_goal_needn't_be_high_as_long_as_you_have_sufficient_enthusiasm_for_it.Perhaps you want to make a new project.Maybe you'd like to pursue a promotion.Or you may even set a goal of finding a new job altogether.Whatever it is,actively move toward an objective. 1.
