Edinburgh Zoo makes plans to bring a pair of giant pandas from China to Scotland. Representa-tives from Edinburgh Zoo have recently retumed from China, where they signed a letter ofintent(意向书) making a promise to bring giant pandas to the zoo.
It has been suggested that the breeding pair should be rented to the Royal Zoological Society ofScotland ( RZSS) for 10 years and it is hoped they would give birth to babies dunng that time. Edin-burgh Zoo would be the eighth zoo in the West to care for the species if the project goes ahead.
Zoo chiefs said that looking after the endangered animals could benefit conservation.David Windmill, chief of RZSS, said, "It is an opportunity to work on a global level with other consc'na-tionists to gain a better understanding of the giant panda, the threats they face, and what we can do to ensure their survival."
At present, there are currendy only around l, 500 giant pandas in the wild.RZSS has been working on the project for almost a year, and hopes to have giant pandas at Edinburgh Zoo by 2011, the year of the society's centenary.
Mr.Windmill said that the*project has received strong support from the UK and Scottish Gov- emments and that this must continue if the zoo is to reach an agreement with the Chinese. As part of the p.roposed agreement with the Chinese government, Edinburgh Zoo will cooperate on research pro-jects benefiting conservation in the wild.
RZSS will also provide considerable money to support giant panda conservation projects in the wild. Giant pandas live in a few mountain ranges in central China and feed almost wholly on bam- boo, which makes up 99% of the their diet.

PART FOUR WRITING SECTION A

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each blank. The Chilean earthquake, measuring 8.8 – magnitude, which struck early Saturday morning, released 500 times the energy of the 7.0 – magnitude quake that hit Haiti last month, a geophysicist told CBS’ “The Early Show. ” Tsunami warnings were issued for much of the Pacific, including Hawaii, following the quake that struck near the Chilean coast.

“When the earthquake occurred, it moved the land and then it moved the water causing the tsunami,” said U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Jessica Sigala. “And the coastal areas of Chile have already noticed the wave heights up to about 7 feet.”

Sigala said Hawaiians can expect to see the waves from this tsunami around 11:20 a.m. local time (about 4:20 p.m. ET). “So we have to wait and see how big the waves will be.”

“It's not so much the height [of the wave] but it's the width, it's how long the duration, and then it's also the speed at which it's traveling,” said co-anchor Kelly Cobiella “Correct me if I'm wrong, but these waves are traveling at the speed of a jetliner, about 500 miles per hour?”

“That's correct. It's a big block of water coming onto the land,” Sigala said. 

Chile has already experienced several aftershocks following the quake.

“Aftershocks are definitely a concern,” said Sigala. "We always see aftershocks with a large quake and a shallow quake, which this one was. And as of right now, we've located about maybe 15 aftershocks and those are of the larger kind. I'm sure they felt much more than that.”

“A shallow earthquake just means that it happened pretty close to the surface,” said Sigala. “And because of that the energy is really close to the surface, where all the buildings and people are.”

    50 deaths caused by aftershocks have been reported, according to the national emergency agency, adding the estimate casualties to 960.

Computers and television have pushed a generation of children towards violent behaviour, and mental illness, a large-scale study said yesterday. Though the main reason for children’s violent behaviour comes from family, the study report also blamed computer games, the internet and television for breeding violence and increase mental illness.

The study report warned of the effects of long hours spent watching television, on the internet and playing computer games. 'There is much evidence that exposure to violent images encourages aggressive behaviour,” it said.

On television, violence is frequently shown as part of a normal human life. The violence is both physical and psychological, and violent argument appears as a standard response to disagreement. To be sure, there is plenty of violence in Shakespeare plays and in the cinema. But people used to go to the cinema once a week, whereas our children now watch television for an average of 17 hours a week.

According to the report, the harm caused by computer and television has been widely recognized, which is only second to family factors including family break-up and the lack of a father living at home.  No doubt, selfish behaviour by adults is mainly responsible for the misery of millions of children.

Many parents’ aggressive pursuit of personal success has pushed the needs of children aside and amounts children’s violent behavior. The belief among adults that the main duty of the individual is to make the most of their own life, rather than contribute to the good of others, is causing our young people a range of problems.

At the end, the report calls for measures to cut the impact of television on young people, including a ban on all advertising aimed at children under 12, set up watchdog equipment on every TV set to control what children watch and put an end to advertising of alcohol and unhealthy food before the 9pm watershed. And more importantly, it calls on all British parents to value the once-in-a-lifetime period of their children’s growth.  Or, according to the report, they will soon regret their absence in that special period when their kids have grown into the “bad guys.”

72. The study is mainly about ______.

A. the family and social reasons for the children’s negative behaviour

B. the importance of a complete family on the behaviour of children

C. the ways to reduce the influence of television on children

D. the relationship between parents and children

73. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A. The major reason for children’s bad behaviour comes from family.

B. Watching too many violent images will cause violent behaviour.

C. Classical works are violence-free so people in the past were not that violent.

D. Many parents put personal success ahead of their children’s benefits.

74. According to the passage, what kind of TV program is more likely to be shown after 9 p.m.?

A. Cartoons for kindergarten children.

B. Gardening programs for housewives.

C. Action movies with violent scenes.

D. Political talk shows for adults.

75.   The passage mentions all the measures to reduce the TV influence EXCEPT ______.

A. advising parents to watch TV programs with children together

B. stopping commercials for little children

C. using a practical method to monitor what children watch on TV

D. forbiding ads for harmful products shown before 9 p.m.

A

B

Vauban

   We know cars are terrible polluters, but would you give yours up? Vauban, a community in southwestem Germany, did just that, and its 5,000 citizens are doing fine. Most streets are free of vehicles, and there are generous green spaces and good public-transport links, including fast buses and bicycle paths.  When,, people must drive, they can turn to car-sharing clubs.  All the citizens had the chance to plan their own city," says Andreas Delleke, an energy expert, "and it's just how we wanted it to be. "

 

Denmark

   During the period of gas shortage in the early, 70s, Denmark decided to become self-sufficient ( 自足). So they began a few projects making smart investments along the way.

   On the island of Samsoe, local families, fishermen and farmers bought wind turbines (涡轮机],) to produce their own energy. Within seven years these turbines were completely paid for. And can you believe just one of wind turbines  produces  enough  electricity  for 600 households?

C

D

Trey Parker and Matt Stone

  Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have built a sustainable (可持续的) castle with outer siding and inner flooring of recycled wood, recycled carpeting, high-efficiency boiler systems.

  "I think more and more today, people are willing to make a statement about the Earth and how they want to proteet it," Michael Rath, home designer and builder says. "For high-end homes in this valley, this is entirely consistent with what they cost. "

P-NUT

  Who doesn't love the name P-NUT- short for Personal-Neo  Urban  Transport?  It's  Honda's  latest attempt to create a tiny footprint for a new urban vehicle.

  This little P-NUT is unique. With a central driving position, the car is designed to move in tight settings. The l 1-foot micro car will seat three with two rear-seat passengers behind the driver.

  "The P-NUT conce, pt explores the packaging and design potential for a vehicle designed for the city lifestyle,"  said  Dave  Marek,   a  Honda  design Spokesman.

E

F

Israel Company

  Is it possible that annoying rash hour traffic could become a source of renewable energy?

  Israel's Technion Institute of Technology claims that if we placed special generators ( 发电机 ) under roads, railways, and runways -- we could harvest enough energy to mass-produce electricity. A trial process has been used on a smaller scale,  in dance clubs for instance, where the pounding feet of dancers light up the floor.

  "We can produce electricity anywhere there is a busy road using energy that normally goes to waste," said Uri Amit,  chairman  of  Israel's  Technion . Institute  Of Technology.

Coffee

  Coffee. Some of us can't start our day without it, and we don't mind waiting 10 minutes in line for it.

  Here is the most effective tip to make you a superstar in environment protection.

  Get a coffee machine for your home or office, or persuade your company into buying one.  ( Tell them it will improve productivity. ) Skip the coffee line on the way to work and make something that is better-tasting and much better for your wallet.

  Plus, you Won't need those plastic cups or carrying cases that jnst get thrown away.  Better yet, use your favorite travel mug.
