| The Atacama Desert is located just west of the Andes, a 1000-km strip(狭长的地域) of land next to the Pacific Ocean. In spite of its location beside the sea, several studies have shown that this region is the driest place in the world. In the Antofagasta Region of the desert, the average annual rainfall is just 1 mm and some weather stations have never received rain at all. Atacama is so arid that the surrounding mountains that reach up to 6885 m, have absolutely no glaciers! In the region, the river beds have been dry for over 120,000 years. However, unlike the Sahara Desert,Atacama is surprisingly not that hot. It has an average daily temperature between 0'C and 25℃! If you find that surprising, you'd be shocked to find out that this desert  has lakes! When there was rainfall in the region (many year ago), this accumulated water created what we now know as the Salt Lakes. The name of these lakes was given as a result of the effect of the Atacama environment: the long dry period makes the water evaporate(蒸发),resulting in the higher concentrations of salt in  the remaining water.This region has been tested by scientists to see if life is present in the Atacama soil with the same instruments that would be used to detect life in the soil on Mars! As a result of the soil's similarites to that of Mars,the Atacama land is used to test instruments for future Mars missions. In addition, the region has been used in movies as a set for filming Mars scenes, most famously in the television show Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets. The Atacama Desert is truly a unique place, due to its lack of rain as well as its similarities to Mars. You would think that this place would be a bare ghost town (鬼域), but think again! Many people have lived here for centuries, giving this desert its own culture and economic significance. |
| 1. What does the underlined word "arid" in the first paragraph mean? |

| A. origin of the Salt Lakes. B. rainfall in the Atacama Desert. C. the weather in the Atacama Desert. D. The current situation of the Salt Lakes. |
| 4.The TV program mentioned in the text____. |
| A. tells Atacama's similarities to Mars B. focuses on the soil of Mars C. explores life in Atacama D. was filmed in Atacama |

While nature lovers across th e world wish all humans to realize the significance of their natural surroundings, many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life. Julie Astonis, an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example. Even though autumn is approaching Australia's Brisbane in April, one can still watch colorful blooming (盛开的) flowers in Julie's little garden, as she tells that in her community, "Each of us has a beautiful yard. The whole community, from children to elderly people, takes care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden." "Gardening is the most popular club in our community," she says. "A lot of retired people don't just regularly organize gardening lectures, but also personally visit families in the community to provide gardening training. So you can see that flowers continue to blossom in our gardens throughout the year." Talking about her people's sense of caring for the environment, Julie says when people in the community take along their dog, they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog's waste. "In our community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass," says Julie with a smile."Taking care of the the dog's waste can also help to develop children's sense of responsibility!" As to protecting water resources, the Australian goverment has made strict rules for families. Julie says, "We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!"She says almost every family in her c  ommunity has a huge tank used to store rainwater, which is later used as the resource of all outdoor water use, including car washing and watering the garden. This year, they also asked people to connect the water tank with their toilets. |

| Xiangzi - Lucky, in English - is appropriately named. His owner Qiu Hong, a sports marketer,lets the dog enjoy two daily walks,a collection of imported American toys, $300 worth of monthly food and treats and his own sofa in her high-rise apartment. When Ms. Qiu feels bored, she takes Xiangzi out for a long run in her car. In a sense, Xiangzi is not just a dog, but a social phenomenon - and, perhaps, a marker of how quickly the Chinese nation is booming through its transformation from poor farmer to first-world citizen.Twenty years ago,there were hardly any dogs in Beijing, but now there're 900,000 registered dogs with countless thousands of others unlicensed. How this came to be is, in some ways, the story of modern China as well. "People used to be focused on improving their own lives, and they weren't really acquainted with raising dogs," said Ms. Qiu. "But with the improvement in the economy, people's outlooks (观念) have changed." Having a dog can be a way to relieve the stress in people's lives, but mostly Beijing dogs have, as in the West, become objects of affection - even devotion - by their owners. It's easy to find dog-treat stores, dog Web sites, dog social networks, dog swimming pools - even, for a time recently, a bring-your-dog cinema and a bring-your-dog bar on Beijing's downtown nightclub row. The doglike devotion of pet owners here seems to have softened the city government heart. In 1994, Beijing officials relaxed their no-dog policy to "severely restrict" dogs. In 2003,it was changed again to allow anyone to own a dog, but to limit city dogs to no mo  re than 35 centimeters in height. And nowadays the restriction seems to be loosely carried out. As for sti-fried Pekingese (京叭狗) - well, that dog,too, may have seen its day. A formal suggestion to ban the eating of dogs has been made by a law professor named Chang Jiwen, who considered himself "not so much a dog lover as a China lover". "With China developing so quickly, more people should know how to treat animals properly," he said in 3 telephone interview. |
| 1. What's the main idea of the first paragraph? |
| A.Xiang Zi is a clever dog. B. Xiangzi lives a  happy life. C. Qiu Hong has a lot of money. D. Qiu Hong is very busy. |
| 2. Paragraph Four mainly shows that Beijingers_____. |
| A.Iive under too much pressure B.Iove dogs evry much C.are good at makin  g moneyD.have modernized their city |

A.Pet owners can be as devoted as the d og B.there were no dogs in Beijing before 2003 C.Beijing strictly bans dogs above 35cm high in practice D.Chang Jiwen spoke for dog lovers only |
| 4.Which is NOT mentioned in the article? |
| A.China's economical development. B.The psychological problems in modern society. C.People's attitude to wards animals. D.The problems caused by dog keeping. |

| [1] Nowadays, researchers from the University of Maryland found that nearly four in five students have depression,panic,confusion and extreme isolation when they are forced to keep away from technology for a day.The study concluded that "most students failed to go the full 24 hours without media". They have been addicted to the modem technology. [2] In this research, almost 1,000 university students from 12 campuses in 10 countries, including Britain, America and China, have been interviewed. Most of them were unable to avoid technology for one full day. The researchers concluded that, college students at campuses across the globe admitted being "addicted" to modem technology such as mobile phones, laptops and televisions as well as social networking such as Facebook and Twitter. An American college student told of his great desire when he was forced to keep away from the media. He even said it "cocaine addiction". [3]The research also found students used "nearly the same words to describe their reactions when they were away from the media". These included emotions such as confusion,anxiety, insecurity, jealousness, anger, loneliness, dependence and depression. [4] Professor Susan Moeller, who led the research, said technology had changed the students' relationships. "Students talked about how seary(可怕的) it was when there is no technology, how addicted they were to it," she said. "They expected the frustration without the media. But they didn't expect to have the psychological effects, to be lonely, to be panicked, the anxiety, literally heart palpitations (心悸). Technology provides the social network for young people today and they have spent their entire lives being 'plugged in ' . " |
