10．The earth is dying before us yet we sit and watch．If the TV or the game system breaks，we run off to the stores to get it fixed immediately no matter what the cost．Why aren't we willing to fix our earth？Are our televisions and game systems more important to us than where we live？Where shall we continue to live，until the end of time？
The earth is our home and cannot be replaced．We must take care of it．We have come up with so much technology that limits us instead of helping us．Take that game system we run to repair．What does it do？It occupies kids'time!The earth has already given kids plenty of entertainment in the forms of fields and hills，forests and plains，water and land．However，instead of using what the earth has given us，and helping kids by giving them exercise as they run around，we decide to ruin kids'minds with game systems that glue them to the screen for hours，and make them ignore their homework and chores．We have polluted this earth by making these things which do not even help in any way!
We have already messed up this world，we have ruined the air，water，and animals that it has so willingly provided for us．We need to stop this destruction of life and bring back the world we had before．It will not be easy，but everybody can help!What about something as simple as turning the lights off when you leave a room？Recycling what can be recycled？Picking up litter？Donating money to an environmental organization？None of these things are very hard．We can't just always say，"Oh，the earth is a mess．Ah，well，those big companies that are polluting so much can stop and fix it．"Instead，we need to help out．It's not only those big companies； it's everyday things that we do too that are ruining the earth．So stop and think about what you can do to make a difference to our world!

11．What would you do to reduce the chance of dying of cancer？How far would you go if you had a 70to 90percent chance of contracting bowel--and your uncle，mother，father，and two of your brothers had died from it？
Lynne Fisher decided she would do almost anything．So，even though she showed no signs of cancer at all，Fisher，51，a former mental health worker，agreed to undergo what might sound like a radical surgery：doctors removed nearly her whole colon（结肠） and rerouted her small intestine（肠） to perform the functions of her large intestine．
The side effects were horrific，she said．For a year，Fisher struggled to control her bowel movements．She fought depression，and she hated her large scars and the 28staples that had been left in her body．Her Multiple Sclerosis returned．The woman she shared a hospital room with--who'd had a similar surgery--did not survive．
"When you're in it，it's like a dark tunnel，"she told ABC News in a long phone conversation about her medical history．
But then，one day，she realized the surgery had helped saved her life．And since then，she's never looked back．
"What's a year out of your life compared to dying？"  the 51-year-old said from her home in central England．"I get to watch my dogs grow up，my children grow up，my grandchild，I get to see my cherry blossoms in the tree，I get to see the sun shining in the morning，I get to go on holiday--I get to see life．"
Genes that cause breast cancer have been discussed widely for years．But less well known is Lynch syndrome，the gene mutation that Fisher and her much of her family inherited．
Roughly one in 370people has Lynch syndrome，according to Lynch Syndrome International，an organization dedicated to helping people with Lynch syndrome and those who treat them．It's unclear how many Americans choose to have the surgery that Fisher had：prophylactic subtotal colectomy，which doctors describe as a major surgery that，while elective，can often save lives．

36．Why did Lynne Fisher decide to remove nearly her whole colon？C
A．Because she has already had a cancer．
B．Because she thought the colon was useless．
C．Because she was afraid of dying of bowel cancer someday．
D．Because her doctor persuaded her to do that．
37．According to the passage，what is NOT true about the surgery undergone by Lynne Fisher？A
A．It is only a very simple and easy surgery．
B．It can bring about some terrible side effects．
C．It's possible for one to die of the surgery．
D．It takes one maybe a year to recover from the surgery．
38．What can we learn from the underlined sentence？C
A．Lynne Fisher really regretted what she had done．
B．Lynne Fisher thought it was not worth a year to have the surgery．
C．Compared to death，the suffering during the year was worthwhile．
D．Lynne Fisher spent a painful year in recovering from the surgery．
39．What can we learn from the last paragraph？A
A．About 0.27% people have Lynch syndrome now in America．
B．We can tell exactly how many people have had the surgery．
C．Lynch Syndrome International helps people with Lynch syndrome only．
D．People with Lynch syndrome will be forced to have the surgery．
40．The main purpose of the passage is toD．
A．persuade people with Lynch syndrome to have a surgery
B．introduce Lynne Fisher and the disease she developed
C．tell us something about the Lynch syndrome and its effect on our health
D．introduce Lynch syndrome to us and tell us that a surgery can save lives．
8．Plastic bags that can help bread and cheese remain fresh for a long time have been developed by scientists．The technology，which uses chemicals that prevent bacteria and fungi （真霉） from growing，allows food to last longer．It could put an end to throwing away supermarket bread after just a couple of days in the bread bin and cheese that goes mouldy after just a few weeks．
The company，Janssen，has spent two years developing the technology with the plastics manufacturer，Symphony Environmental．They are now in discussion with several food factories and supermarkets about using the bags for their products．The technology could also be used to make credit cards and the new plastic bank notes more hygienic （卫生的）．Tests have shown that the plastic can increase the shelf life of bread and cheese without letting the food go bad．Michael Stephen，director of Symphony Environmental，said the plastic also has the potential to do the same for fruit，vegetables and even meat．He said，"we have come up with a way of making the plastic that is antibacterial and that can be used in food wrapping．We have done a lot of tests on food packaging which have shown such plastic can reduce the mould that grows on both bread and cheese．"
In Britain，around 15 million tons of food is thrown away each year，mostly because it has spoiled or gone bad．Bread is the most wasted food，with families throwing away 4.4 million tons a year-about a third of all the bread purchased by UK families．Tesco，Britain's biggest supermarket，revealed last month that almost half of the bread sold in its stores ended up in the bin．
The technology developed by Janssen and Symphony，which they have called D2P，fixes antibacterial and antifungal chemicals to the plastic．They have found it can control bacteria which can cause food poisoning．It can also control the growth of fungi on bread and others．
Mr．Stephen added，"Initially we expect that it is only used in pipes and door handles，for example，to help reduce the spread of bacteria．It can also be put into man-made fibers so we are doing some experiments to put it into clothes to stop the bacteria that can cause them to smell．"
59．What would happen when people use the plastic bags produced by Janssen？C
A．The sales of bread and cheese would increase soon．
B．Bread and cheese could be stored in a fridge for years．
C．Bread and cheese could be kept for a longer time．
D．Supermarket bread and cheese would be on sale earlier．
60．Why does the writer mention the problem in Britain in Paragraph 3？D
A．To criticize the behaviour of the British．
B．To show the popularity of bread．
C．To criticize the increasing waste of bread．
D．To show the short shelf life of bread．
61．It can be concluded from Mr．Stephen's words thatA．
A．more daily uses for this technology are expected
B．this technology is only used used in pipes and door handles
C．man-made fibers should be improved by this technology
D．people's preference for this technology cannot be expected
62．The passage can be classified asB．
A．an annual review                B．a news report
C．an advertisement                D．a travel guide．
15．Not very long ago，the question would have seemed absurd．Now it is on the lips of respected scientists； MPs（议员） are beginning to talk of"a war on sugar"，and even England's chief medical officer has said sugar may have to be，like the old enemy tobacco，taxed in order to protect the nation's health．
There came a time in the evolution of public attitudes to smoking，when the doctors had been shouting for long enough that the public was broadly aware of the risks and the only question left，for Government was：what should we do about it？
Some believe we are now at the same point in our attitudes to sugar．Others-largely but not only representatives of the food and drink industry-say the entire debate has been skewed，（歪曲） by those who spread stories deliberately to make people nervous．
More or less everyone agrees that eating too much sugar is bad for you．There is also no doubt obesity is a growing problem which is putting a significant，avoidable burden on the NHS by increasing the rates of diabetes，heart disease and other long-term conditions．
But to what extent is sugar-rather than saturated fats，or salt，carbohydrates or proteins，or any of the other devils of modem diets-the cause of obesity and how much should we worry about it？
Yesterday，hopes of achieving anything resembling clarity（清楚） from the World Health Organization （WHO） were confused once again，which，widely expected to reduce the recommended sugar intake by a half in new draft guidance，instead said it would continue to recommend that sugar make up no more than 10per cent of the energy we consume，while adding that cutting this to five per cent would have"additional benefits"．The decision will now go out to public consultation．
Simon Capewell，professor of the University of Liverpool，said that he suspected"dirty work"on the part of food and drinks companies might lie behind the WHO's less than resounding message．
"The food industry say Government has no business interfering（介入） in families，we must protect personal choice，"Professor Capewell said．"We say there is no personal choice．At the moment，a mother can walk into a supermarket with a choice of four tomato soups-with three，or four，or five teaspoons of sugar in them．She has a choice of thousands of ready meals-with five，or six，or even nine teaspoons of sugar in．"

59．By referring to smoking the author indicates thatB．

C．it is easy for people to see bad effects of something
D．people must see the disadvantages of sugar immediately
60．WHO has changed its idea mainly becauseC．
A．it thinks the danger of sugar to health is overemphasized
B．it finds it safe to take in as much sugar as people do now
C．it believes certain amount of intake of sugar does us good
D．it has been put under pressure by food and drinks companies
61．When reporting the argument about sugar，the author seems toB．

1．The hit movie Finding Nemo follows a clownfish from the Great Barrier Reef． In real life，clownfish are among the thousands of colorful sea creatures that call the Great Barrier Reef home．Stretching l，250 miles along Australia's northeastern． coast，the Great Barrier Reef is the longest coral reef in the world．
    A coral reef is a living underwater structure． But these days，the Great Barrier Reef has found itself in trouble．Overfishing，pollution，and high temperatures are harming its health． That's why the government in Australia is trying to help rescue the reef．
Underwater Garden
   While coral may look like a plant，it is actually made up of tiny sea animal．Those sea animals are called coral polyps． 
   As polyps die，they leave hard．shells behind． Other polyps grow on top of the shells．Over thousands of years，they form a coral reef in warm water that is not very deep．
   In many ways，the Great Barrier Reef resembles an underwater garden．  Coral can be hard or soft．It forms in different colors and in strange shapes．Some coral looks like hardened brains． Other coral looks like fans and lettuces．
  The reef bursts with schools of tropical fish，dashing among gaps in the coral．The reef supplies food． and． shelter to creatures living in and around the coral．  Turtles，sharks，sea horses，and crabs are among its many inhabitants．
Helping Humans
     While the reef is important to ocean life，it helps humans，too．  People rely on the reef for both food and jobs． It also provides medicine used to treat disease．  Each year，the Great Barrier Reef contributes about  $ 975 million to the economy through tourism and fishing．
Stressed Out   
    Is it surprising，then，that the Great Barrier Reef is under too much stress？Fishing nets and ships break off sections and damage the reef．  Air and water pollution are also doing harm． At the same time，warmer sea temperatures have caused coral bleaching（漂白） on half of the reef． The high temperatures cause the coral to turn white，often killing it．
Reef Rescue
    In an effort to help save the reef，the government has limited fishing to two thirds of it． That plan increases the number of"green zones．"Those are areas that are off-limits to fishermen and boats． However，tourists and researchers can still visit them． Many fishermen are upset about the plan because they rely on the reef for jobs．
     The Australian government says that its plan will help keep the reef safe from some threats．"It is very important that we give   B reef proper protection for the future，"said one government official．  The reef is Australia's greatest natural treasure．

4．Some people have travelled to Canada while others may have just heard of it．As is known to all，the Canadian red and white mildly leaf flag is officially called The National Flag of Canada．The Canadian flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11points on a white background，with red borders down each side．The Canadian flag is twice as long as its width．The white square containing the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag．Canada is a very large country，too．It is the second largest country in the world．By contrast，it has a very small population．There are only about 29million people there．Most Canadians are of British or French origin，and French is an official language as well as English．About 45% of the people are of British origin，that is，they or their parents or grandparents，etc．come from Britain．Nearly 30% are of French origin．Most of the French-Canadians live in the province of Quebec．Over the years，people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world．They are mostly from European countries and also from China，as well as other Asian countries．
However，Canada was not an empty country when the Europeans began to arrive．Canadian-Indian lived along the coast，by the rivers and lakes and in forests．Today there are only 350 000Canadian-Indians in the whole country，with their own language．In the far north live the Inuits．There are only 27 000Canadian-Inuits．Their life is hard in such a harsh climate．
