There has been a large increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is believed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in thefuture. Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.

London

London’s flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat (威胁)of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 31 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not solved

There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property(财产）in London’s flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.

Paris

Over a six week period in July and August 2003, more than 1 1,400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?

One solution is to have air-conditioners installed（安装）in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放).

In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.

Shanghai

Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.

About 250，000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption（消耗）. China depends heavily on coal—fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.

1.What problem should be settled now in London?

A. How to protect the city’s property

B. Where to build its flood defences

C. How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city

D. How to improve the function of the old flood defences

2.Which of the following measures can’t solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?

A. Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.

B. Having air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes.

C. Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”.

D. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.

3.The major threats to Shanghai are __________.

A. increasing population and coal-fired power stations

B. rising sea levels and typhoons

C. extremely high temperature and rising sea levels

D. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons

4.The purpose of the passage is __________.

A. to tell us how to protect the big cities

B. to give advice on how to defend natural disasters

C. to explain what causes flood and heat waves

D. to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities

 

One day I decided to quit．I quitted my job, my relationship, my spirituality. I wanted to quit my life.

I went to the      to have one last talk with God． "Can you give me one good    not to quit?" His answer surprised me．

   "Look around． Do you see the fern（蕨类植物） and the bamboo? When I planted their seeds, I took good care of them．The fern quickly grew from the earth．      nothing came from the bamboo seed． During the following three years, the fern grew more plentiful． And     , nothing came from the bamboo seed． But I did not quit on the bamboo． Then in the fifth year a       sprout（新芽） emerged from the earth． Compared to the fern it was      small and insignificant． But just 6 months later the bamboo      to over 100 feet tall． It had spent the five years growing     ． Those roots made it strong and gave it     it needed to survive． I wouldn’t give any of my creations a challenge it could not     ．”

He said to me .”All this time you have been struggling , you have ___been growing roots . I would not quit on the bamboo.____will I ever quit on you .Don’t ____yourself with others .The bamboo had a different ____from the fern .Yet they both make the forest beautiful .Your time will ___ .You will rise high!”

   "How high should I rise?" I asked．

   "How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked     ．

   "As high as it can?" I     ．

   "Yes," He said． "Give me glory      rising as high as you can．"

   I left the forest and bring back this story． I hope it can help you see that God will never    on you． Never regret a day in your life． Good days give you happiness． Bad days give you    ． Both are necessary to life．

The kite was originally called Zhiyuan in North China, and Yaozi in South China. Early in the Five dynasties, a man named Li Ye used to make and fly a kite in the emperor's court. He once attached a whistle made of bamboo to the kite. Sound was let out when the kite was flying. The kite was named after Zheng, a kind of Chinese music instrument. Then it was named Fengzheng in Chinese.

The earliest kite in the world was made by Motse, a famous Chinese philosopher, who lived 2,300 years ago, for military (军事的) purposes. He spent three years making an eagle and managed to fly it. The eagle was later regarded as the first kite in the world. Kite-flying became a recreation probably from the Tang dynasty when the royal family and people of the highest class were addicted to it. It was said that the Emperor Xuanzong in the Tang dynasty once was interested in a kite named Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea flying in the air. Later, the paper-made kite was invented, which cost less and spread quickly among the common people. As time went on, kites flew to various countries in the world. 'The well-known British scientist, Dr. Needham, once described kites as an important scientific invention which spread to Europe from China in his book, A History of China's Science and Technology. The invention of the kite inspired men’s dream of flying and led to the invention of the airplane.

67. The kite made by Li Ye was named after a Chinese music instrument because __________ .

A. it was made of bamboo  B. it could sound in the sky

68. What led to the invention of the kite according to the passage?

A. Wars.                   B. An eagle.

C. Motse's interest in animals.

D. Motse's dream of flying.

69. Why was kite-flying not a popular recreation among common people at first?

A. Because they were too busy to fly kites.          

B. Because they were not allowed to fly kites.

C. Because it was difficult to make kites.                    

D. Because it was expensive to make kites.

70. Which of the following statements might Dr. Needham agree with?

A. The Chinese people first tried to invent airplanes.

B. The Chinese spread the idea of flying to Europe.

C. The invention of kites in China is great.    

D. The invention of kites achieved the dream to fly.
