18.In many countries,schools have long summer holidays,with shorter holidays in between.However,a new report suggests shortening school holidays to stop children forgetting what they have learnt during the long summer break.Instead of three school terms,it says,there should be five eight-week terms.And there should be just four weeks off in the summer,with a two-week break between the other terms.
    Sonia Montero has two c hildren at primary school and works full-time.She supports the idea."The kids,"she says,"have much longer holidays than me and I can't afford to take several weeks off work,so I need someone to take care of them.But nobody wants the work in the summer months-they all have holidays of their own."
    Not surprisingly,some young people disagree.Student Jason Panos says"It's a stupid idea.I would hate staying at school in the summer.It's unfair,too.The people who suggest this had long school holidays when they were young,but now they want to stop us enjoying the summer.The kids in Spain and America have much longer holidays than here,but they don't forget everything they've learnt in a few months."
    Nadia Salib agrees."Sure,"she says,"the first week at school after the summer is never easy,but you soon get back into it.The real problem round here is that kids get bor ed after so many weeks out of school,and then some of them start causing trouble.But the answer is to give them something to do,not make everyone stay in school longer."

16.Scientists in Israel have discovered a new way to test for water pollution by"listening"to what the plants growing in water have to say.
By shining a laser beam (激光束) on the tiny pieces of algae floating in the water,the researchers said they hear sound waves that tell them the type and amount of contamination (致污物) in the water.
"It is a red light,telling us that something is beginning to go wrong with the quality of water,"said Zvy Dubinsky,an aquatic biologist (水生生物学家) at Israel's Bar Ilan University."Algae is the first thing to be affected by a change in water quality.""The secret,"he said,"is to measure the rate of photosynthesis (光合作用) in the algae,meaning the plant's ability to transform light into energy."During photosynthesis,plants also release oxygen into the air.
Dubinsky's technique is easy to perform because of the over-abundance (过于丰富) of algae in the planet's water.Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere comes from algae.A prototype tester (样本测试机)that occupies about one square meter of a laboratory desktop,shoots a laser beam at water samples to stimulate (刺激) photosynthesis in the algae.But not all of the laser's heat is used.Depending on the condition of the algae and the rate of photosynthesis,some of the heat is shot back into the water,creating sound waves,Dubinsky said.With a special underwater microphone,researchers are able to analyze the strength of the sound waves and determine the health of the algae and the condition of the surrounding water.
"Algae suffering from lead poisoning,like waste discharged from battery and paint manufacturing plants,will produce a different sound than those suffering from lack of iron or exposure to other toxins,"said researcher Yulia Pinchasov.She said that testing algae photosynthesis can determine water quality more accurately and easily than labor-intensive methods now used like chemical and radioactive carbon testing.

5.The underlined word"algae"in Paragraph 2probably refers to a kind ofA.
A.plant              B.instrument           
C.wood               D.pollutant
6.Why is the algae tested?B
A.Because it floats on the water.

13.Now scientists believe that global warming affects hibernating animals,causing them to wake up earlier.While this may seem a little concern,it is in fact a serious environmental problem.The shortened hibernation period could actually lead to significant decreases in the population of several species.
Some of the first evidence of the problem came from Colorado,where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab have been observing marmot (旱獭) hibernation behavior since the 1970s.In the early days of their studies,marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May.Nowadays,however,temperatures in the area have risen by 2.5degrees Fahrenheit,and the marmots wake up about a month earlier.
At least the marmots are still hibernating.Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently.Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year.Chipmunks (花鼠) in the US and some snakes in Australia also skipped the hibernation period.The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals.The chipmunks and snakes,however,were not so lucky.Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter.
The problem with animals waking up early,or skipping hibernation altogether,lies with the creatures'metabolism (新陈代谢).When the animals hibernate,their metabolism drops significantly.The animals'heart rate slows,and they require very little energy to live.When the animals awake in the spring,their metabolism returns to normal.
But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation,food sources aren't as available as they were before.A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer,thinking it's spring,but plants will not have got the amount of sun they need to grow.So until the plants grow,the marmots have no reliable food source.
Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse.For many biologists,that's a scary prospect.Terry Root,an animal expert at Stanford University,said,"I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species."

28.What is the viewpoint of the writer?B
A.Global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on.
B.Waking up early in spring may lead to the extinction of some animals.
C.Shortened hibernation will definitely decrease the population of animals.
D.Animals which do not hibernate die of starvation.
29.The writer sets the example of the marmot in order toA.
A.indicate that global warming influences animals'hibernation
B.explain that the weather gets warmer and warmer now
C.show that the weather in the United States is quite different
D.say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather
30.Judging from recent observation,which of the following animals suffered the LEAST from shortened hibernation?A
A.Brown bears.
B.Marmots.
C.Some snakes in Australia.
D.Chipmunks in the US.
31.Why can't marmots find enough food when they wake up?D
A.Because there are too many marmots in the wild now.
B.Because more and more animal species skip hibernation now.
C.Because winter days end much earlier than before.
D.Because plants haven't received enough sunlight for spring growth.
17.Q:Dear Dr.Wood,
My husband and I are facing a dilemma,namely,the issue of whether to have a second child---we already have one healthy,happy five-year-old daughter.Both of us have demanding jobs,and limited time and financial resources,but we're also very keen to make sure that our only child does not become a lonely child.So,what are the pros and cons(利弊) of having a second child?[
A:Dear Andrea,
This is one of the most difficult issues that parents nowadays face.As you point out,a concern that is often heard with regard to only children is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child.Many parents of only children feel a stigma(耻辱) associated with their decision to have only one child.There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with,and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times,especially during vacations.
Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled than one with siblings.Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others,and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships.Some think this may leave the child less capable of interacting well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with siblings.
Advocates of single-child families argue that there are advantages for the child as well as the parents.With just one child,they suggest,there is less potential for family arguments arising from favoritism or sibling jealousy.Moreover,with only one child,the parents can give,and the child can receive,more quality time and attention.This often leads to increased self-esteem,which combined with increased independence,can lead to the child being more confident.Unfortunately,Andre,there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child.The circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique,and what is appropriate for one family may not be for another.The important thing,in the end,is to make a decision that both you and your husband feel confident about.
28.The underlined word"siblings"in Paragraph 3refers toB.
A.friends and partners
B.brothers and sisters
C.classmates and teachers
D.parents and relatives
29.Which one is NOT the reason why some people are against having one child?C
A.An only child may be spoiled.
B.An only child may lack the ability to negotiate with others.
C.An only child may feel lonely.
D.An only child may not respect the give-and-take.
30.What can you infer from the passage?C
A.Dr.Wood doesn't think that an only child will feel lonely.
B.Andrea wanted to have a second child though her family was poor.
C.An only child may not need to deal with the problem favoritism.
D.Parents having an only child will feel lonely during vacations.
31.In which section will this passage appear?D
A.family
B.medicine
C.life
D.readers'letter.
