Modcm inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a bundred miles in little more than an hour. Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every ycar motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts（吹嘘）of saving preeious seconds in handling tasks.

All this saves timc, but at a prick.When we lose or gain half a day in speeding aeross the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfoerable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel tlru they have been left bebind in anot ar nine zoors Again pending too long at compulers resul’s in painti ninrts and fingers. Mobile phones also to dange according to some seientists; too much uss may thesmit h bul radiation into our brains, a we do not like to think about.

Howave, what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Pcrhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imavination take us into another world.

There was a time when some people’s lives were devotcd simply to the cultivation of the land or the eare of eattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so ,we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;:they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modem machinery has freed peope fre that primitive existcnee.

The Secret of Success

The secret of success is that there is no secret. Some people succeed because they are just __1__ than other people. Some people succeed because they just work harder than other people. And some people succeed because they are just plain lucky.

　　Ma Donghan is a student at Tsinghua University who is __2__ to be successful and she’s not going to leave it to luck. Ma is obviously smart because she’s a student at the best university in China, but her plan for success is __3__ on the old fashion value of hard work. You can see that by the weekly schedule she’s set up for herself which was recently posted online.

　　Every hour of every day is accounted for. There is her classroom __4__, of course, but then blocks of time are set aside for __5__ each subject and also for a few activities like playing sports. There are no hours set aside for just relaxing and there are only five hours allotted (分配) each night for sleeping. She has set a very __6__, almost punishing schedule for herself, but it seems to be working.

　　Other students __7__ at Ma’s diligence and discipline but doubt that they could achieve the same level of success. Perhaps not, but Ma is obviously a unique and special __8__. She has set high goals, made a plan to achieve those goals, and worked hard to keep to her plan. This is what other students can learn from Ma.

In school, as in life, __9__ is never guaranteed and not everyone will find him or herself at the top of the pyramid. The important thing to remember is that having a plan and working hard to stay with the plan will bring you a level of success that just being smart and lucky cannot.

Health and climate scientists have mapped how climate change affects different parts of the world in different ways. The scientists point to the fact that changes in the past thirty years may, have been affecting human health. Possible effects include more deaths from extreme(极度的) heat or cold, more storms and more crop failures in dry periods.

The health and climate scientists recently estimated(估计) that climate changes caused by human activity lead to more than one hundred and fifty thousand deaths each year. Cases of sickness are estimated at five million. And the W.H.O. says the numbers could rise quickly by the year of 2003.

Jonathan Patz of an environmental institute led the study. Professor Patz points out that climate scientists connected global warming with the heat that killed thousands in Europe in August, 2003. But he says poor countries least responsible(对……负责) for the warming are most in danger from the health effects of higher temperatures.

Professor Patz says areas in greatest danger include southern and eastern Africa and coastlines along the Pacific and Indian oceans. Also, large cities experience what scientists call a "heat island"effect that can make conditions worse.

Representatives(代表) from about two hundred countries hold a meeting in Canada, to discuss climate change. The ten-day meeting ends on December 9th. It is the first such United Nations meeting since the Kyoto Protocol(京都议定书) took effect earlier this year. The agreement aims to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) and other heat-trapping(吸热的) gases sent off into the air.

1.Who is Jonathan Patz?

A．A scientist responsible for the climate change.

B．A scientist in charge of the study of the climate change.

C．A professor interested in the climate change.

D．A professor who is a representative from an African country.

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Climate changes affect different parts of the world in the same way.

B．The ten-day meeting is the first United Nations meeting on climate change.

C．The Kyoto Protocol aims to make smaller the amount of heat-trapping gases into the air.

D．Poor countries are responsible for the global warming.

3.Possible effects from the climate changes include the following EXCEPT ______.

A．crop failures

B．storms

C．more deaths from overheat

D．air pollution

4.According to the health and climate scientists, climate changes have been caused by ______.

Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures．The increasingly popular "design museums" that are opening today, however, perform quite a different 1 .Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public．These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the _2 of the hall．

People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology．But their role is not simply a matter of sales—It is the 3 of excellently invented products．The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale．

One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel 4 with the exhibits．Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel 5 or puzzled．This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work, and how design has 6 the quality of our lives．Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their __7__．

In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors．Each of these museums has tried to 8 the public's growing interest in the field with new ideas．London's Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins．The choices open to design museums seem far less _9 than those to art museums．

Originally, both the British and the American spoke with a rhotic accent. Rhotic essentially means an accent where the letter “r” is pronounced strongly after a vowel (元音). Rhotic accents are strong in both the US and Scotland, but seem to have disappeared from British English and its derivatives, such as Australian English and New Zealand English.

The major American accent –– the typical accent of the mid-western US –– is rhotic, and British English is, as a rule, non-rhotic. Specifically, US speakers pronounce every “r”, wherever they appear in a word. Most British speakers (and you will note that there are some British Isle accents that are strongly rhotic, like US) do not pronounce every “r”. Americans stress the “r” at the end of words such as “teacher” or “neighbour”, but in many non-rhotic British accents it is more of a “schwa” (an unstressed sound) so it comes out as, “teacha” (unstressed) or “neighba”.

This main difference also differs across the country of origin. For example, the US has a clear difference in the accents between people of the north and south, not to mention less clear differences across the states. Similarly, British people have a different accent according to their locality. The “cockney (伦敦东区)” accent is greatly different to the middle and upper class accents.

Another common difference appears to be that Americans pronounce words such as “herbal” without the “h”. Syllables (音节) may be stressed differently, too. “Oregano” in the US tends to be pronounced “o–reg–a–no” while in British English it is more likely to be “o–reg–AH–no”.

【小题1】When a rhotic accent occurs, ______.

A. the letter “r” is silent in any positions B. the letter “r” is sounded after a vowel

C. the ending syllable of a word is stressed D. the ending syllable of a word is unheard

【小题2】The underlined word “derivatives” in the first paragraph probably means “_____”.

A. neighbours B. ancestors C. symbols D. branches

【小题3】In non-rhotic British accents, ______.

A. “bother” sounds the same as “buther” B. “cheaper” sounds the same as “chapter”

C. “worker” sounds the same as “worka” D. “painting” sounds the same as “paintin”

【小题4】Even in the original country of the specific English language, accents differ ____.

A. from area to area B. from person to person

C. from word to word D. from stress to stress

【小题5】American people trend to pronounce words like “herbal” with the “h” ______.

A. stressed B. silent C. changed D. loud
