11．English families face being limited to 80bags of rubbish a year．Households throwing away more waste will have to take it to the tip （垃圾站） or buy a limited number of extra bags．
Doretta Cocks，of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collections，said，"They must think we are fools．How can they claim to be concerned for the environment when they tell people to drive to the local tip？And what do you do if you don't have a car？Walk？"
The plan ignores the voice from ministers to end such heavy-hand edness （高压手段）．
It is to be carried out by the Tory-led council （市政厅） in Workingham．Berkshire，and is already in operation in Brozbourne in Hertfordshire．
Many of the 180councils that still offer unrestricted weekly rubbish collections are watching the trial．
Wokingham officials have told residents that 75-litre bags will be given to each housedhold and anything not left in them will not be collected．
"Every household will receive 80 bags every year，"it said．"You can buy extra bags in rolls of ten but this will not be encouraged．"
Families of five will get 100rubbish bags a year and households of six or more will get 120．
Residents will have a weekly recycling collection limited to cans，paper and card，plastic bottles and so on．
Plastic packaging and glass including bottles must either go with the general waste or be taken to recycling points．Green waste pick-ups cost an extra￡60a year．

6．Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburb．But people in the Australian outback can't get to a doctor quickly．The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio．This special doctor is called the"flying doctor"．He visits sick people by plane．
When someone is very sick，the doctor has to fly to the person's home．His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the person's house．Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital．Flying doctors take about 8，600 people to hospital each year．
However，most of the time the person isn't very sick，and the doctor doesn't have to visit．He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center．He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest （箱子）．There is one of these chests in every home in the outback．Each bottle，tube and packet in the chest has a number．The doctor often says something like this，"take two tablets from bottle 5 every four hours．"

13．Around the world coral reefs（珊瑚礁） are facing threats（威胁） brought by climate change and great changes in sea temperatures．While ocean warming has been the primary focus for scientists and ocean policy managers，cold events can also whiten corals．A new study by scientists compared damaged to corals exposed to heat as well as cold stress．The results show that cool temperatures can cause more damage in the short term，but heat is more destructive（破坏性的） in the long run．
Climate change is widely known to produce warming conditions in the oceans，but extreme cold-water events have become more frequent and serious as well．In 2010，for example，coral reefs around the world faced one of the coldest winters and one of the hottest summers on record．
During a unique experiment，corals under cold temperatures suffered greater damage in just days compared with heat treated corals．Yet the researchers found that corals were eventually able to adjust to the cold conditions，make their health stable and continue to grow．However，over the long term corals subjected to heat suffered more greatly than those in cold，with evidence of severe whitening and growth stoppage，which leads to death．
The coral's ability to adjust to cool temperatures surprised the researchers，who say the study's results show the complexities（复杂性） of monitoring coral health in response to different environmental factors（因素）．
"Global warming is associated with increases but also decreases of temperatures，"said Deheyn，one of the researchers．"Not much has been known about the comparative effects of temperature decrease on corals．These results are important because they show that corals react differently to temperature differences，which is important for future management of coral reefs in the field of climate change．"

72．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．Corals are unable to adjust to temperature changes．
B．Heat and cold damage corals in their own ways．
C．Cold temperature causes greater damage to corals．
D．Hot temperature helps coral reefs to grow quickly．
73．We can learn from the passage thatB．
A．scientists used to pay no attention to the effect of cold events on corals
B.2010witnessed one of the greatest temperature differences on record
C．corals prefer warmer conditions to cold temperatures in the long run
D．global warming has nothing to do with the decrease of temperature
74．According to the research，D．
A．cold events help corals grow more quickly in a short time
B．corals show no response to hot temperatures in the first days
C．corals are whitened mainly because of warm temperatures
D．corals may continue to grow in cold events after a few days
75．Scientists reached the conclusion throughA．
A．scientific study B．news report C．great imagination D．natural conditions．
