7.Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change,and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.
Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.
"We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean,and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment.And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels.And we've b een able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean."
Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased,more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean,affecting the chemical balance of the sea water,with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.
"As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water,or seawater in this case,it forms a weak acid (酸),carbonic acid,"Dore explains."And therefore,as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater,it drives the pH down,and makes it more acidic."
The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.
The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down,and again at 500 meters.Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations.It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths.Or there could be a biological explanation."It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic.And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral.It's potentially catastrophic."
29.What can be the best title of the passage?A
A.Sea Life Facing Danger          
B.Scientist Researching Seawater
C.Oceans Becoming More Acidic     
D.Climate Change Affecting Seawater
30.Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life?B
    a.Sea life is endangered.
    b.CO2 goes into the surface water.
    c.The ocean chemistry is affected.
    d.CO2 decreases the pH and makes the seawater more acidic.
    e.CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up.
A.a→b→c→d→e                   B.e→b→c→d→a
C.a→e→c→d→b                   D.e→d→c→b→a
31.Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based onA.
A.his research and analysis        B.the expectation of other scientists
C.some former theory               D.a major cause of climate change
32.What does the passage want to tell us most?D
A.It takes time to make a scientific study.
B.Atmospheric CO2 is doing harm to sea life.
C.Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist.
D.Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe.

分析 这篇文章主要讲了二氧化碳的排放引起海水化学物质的改变从而是海洋动物受到危险.

解答 29.A 主旨大意题:从第一段的句子:Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change,atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.可知文章主要讲的是海洋生物正在遭遇危险.故选A
30.B 排序题 根据第三、四段"as atmosphere CO2 increased,more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean,affecting the chemical balance of the sea water…As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water or seawater in this case,it forms a weak acid,carbonic acid,it drives the pH down,and makes it more acidic"可知,先是大气中的二氧化碳含量增加,排除A、C;接着是二氧化碳被海水吸收,影响海水的化学平衡,随着酸性物质的形成,海水的PH值下降,给海洋生态环境带来威胁,故选B.
31.A 细节题理解.从第二段和第六段Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades…The seawater samples Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts."可知科学家 Robert Dore 是根据自己的研究和分析得出结论的.所以答案是A 
32.D 推理判断题.文章最后一段主要是告诉我们现在海洋的状态,对整个海洋生物有着不好的影响,存在可能的危险.所以可以推断文章想要告诉我们,必须采取措施,防止灾难发生.故选择D.

2.Mark Twain said that"habit is habit,and not to be flung(扔) out the window by anyone,but coaxed(劝诱) downstairs a step at a time."The chances of successfully changing negative behavior (36)D  when you make gradual changes that give you time to (37)A negative patterns for positive ones.
On any given day,countless numbers of us get out of bed and (38)B to begin to change a given behavior"today."Whether it be exercising more,drinking less,managing time (39)B or some other change in a negative behavior,we start out with high (40)C.In a short time,however,a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing  (41)D   it was they thought they shouldn't be doing.

According to the psychologist Albert Ellis,most(47)Aproblems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to (48)Dwhen events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be.For example,suppose after doing (49)Aon an exam,you say to yourself,"I can not believe I failed that easy exam.Iam so stupid."By changing this irrational"catastrophic"self-talk into rational,(50)Astatements about what is really going on,you can increase the (51)Dthat positive behaviors will occur.
Positive self-talk might be (52)Bas follows:"I really didn't study enough for the exam.I just need to prepare for the next (53)B".
Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from (54)Cand take positive steps to correct the situation.Some other technique like purposefully (55)Cor stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on (沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy,time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.

19.What to wear for a job interview is very important.Like it or not,how you look plays an important part in the interview.Even if you're usually not concerned about what you wear,do pay attention when it comes to an interview.
 Here's one of the key tips for interviews.Check out what people working in the company or profession are wearing and dress slightly more formally for the interview.
 There's no doubt that what you wear depends on the job you're getting into.Some professions like finance and law need people to dress conservatively(保守地).Suits in shades of blue or grey,white shirts,etc are appropriate for men interviewing for those positions.Women attending such interviews have more choices and can wear blues,whites or yellows.
 If you're interviewing for a job in a less conservative industry like the creative fields,social work,education,etc,what's appropriate can be various.
 Here are more tips on what to wear.Take care of the basics like ensuring there are no folds or dirt on your clothes.It's important not to show too much skin---that can convey a wrong image in an interview.Your clothes should not be too tight.Also,don't wear brand-new clothes you haven't worn at least once before to avoid unexpected problems when interviewing for a job.
Apart from clothing,you should also pay attention to other things.A good pair of shoes and a fine watch can improve a man's image in an interview.A quality silk scarf can add to a woman's appearance.The little things do matter when it comes to having interviews and getting a job offer from the right company.
29.What is the text mainly about?B
A.How to get the job you want.
B.What to wear for a job interview.
C.How to make oneself more attractive.
D.How to leave a good impression on interviewers.
30.If a man has an interview for the post of lawyer,what color suit
should he wear?A
A.Gray           B.Green         C.Yellow         D.Red.
31.When having a job interview,you'd better wear clothes thatA.
A.are tidy and clean                 
B.have the latest style
C.can show your good figure       
D.can reflect your personality
32.The author suggested people not wear brand-new clothes becauseD.
A.they might too tight.
B.they might not match your shoes.
C.they might convey a wrong image.
D.some unexpected problems might occur.
17.There are several reasons why cats climb trees,mostly to do with defensive purposes.Cats,as predators(捕食者),like to understand their environment well.Cats climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings,to help them see any potential prey(被捕食者).
While cats are predators,they can also be easily attacked by larger animals.A tree often provides a safe hiding place.In the wild,cats climb up trees to give them a resting place that is out of predators'range.It also helps disguise their presence,which can prevent any prey from noticing that there is a cat nearby.
Sometimes some cats may climb trees for fun,or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities.Kittens(小猫) frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up everything,from bookcases to trees to a person's leg.Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill.To prevent them from practicing indoor climbing of your furniture,however,owners may wish to buy a carpeted cat tree for climbing.
If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down,the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction.A cat's claws curve(弯曲) inward,allowing it to take hold of surfaces while going up head first.Unfortunately,this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again.Eventually,most trapped kittens will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first.Either way,a cat up a tree is usually nothing to panic about unless it is injured; they are intelligent animals and will find out how to get down sooner or later.
32.In most cases,cats climb trees in order toC.
A.have fun      
B.seek food     
C.defend themselves    
D.please their owners
33.What does the underlined word"disguise"in Paragraph mean?D
A.Find out      
B.Focus on      
C.Make clear          
D.Cover up
34.Why do people want to buy carpeted cat trees?B
A.To train their cats in climbing        
B.To help protect their furniture.
C.To improve their cats'claw skill.
D.To keep their cats warm in winter.
35.Seeing your cat up a tree,you are supposed toA.
A.just take it easy                  
B.lead it down slowly
C.feed some food to it at once        
D.keep an eye on it all the time.
