19．"The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic．"say scientists．The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．
         The lowering of the waters'PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues，they warn．Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett，from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory，report their concerns in the journal Nature．Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air，and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater．Once in the water，it reacts to form carbonic acid．Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century．
         These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change．"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere，"said Dr Caldeira．And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed（超过） anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years，let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid（小行星） impacts
          However，it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life．Most organisms live near the surface，where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur，but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes．Coral reefs（珊瑚礁） and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate（碳酸钙） may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up，the team predict．They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH．
         In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power station in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming．But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered．"Previously，most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing--because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet，and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean，it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming．"
57．The ocean is becoming more acidic due toC．
A．the lower water PH value                                     
B．the warming atmosphere
C．the higher level of CO2 in the air                         
D．the increasing use of oil fuels
58．According to Dr Caldeira，D．
A．ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing
B．more oil fuels will be used in the near future
C．scientists may predict climate changes with computer models
D．the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious
59．If the water's acidity level keeps rising，A 
A．ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected
B．the water's PH value will become higher and higher
C．organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changes
D．some disastrous events will occur more often than before
60．Most experts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduceB．
A．the CO2 absorbed by the ocean                          
B．the amount of greenhouse warming
C．the acidity of the ocean                                         
D．the gradual release of CO2．
20．Michael，Rae，Jequita，Alice，Sarah and Phyllis have at least one thing in common：They all love animals so much that they're driven to volunteer regularly at the Romulus Animal Shelter．
The six Romulus-area residents give as much time as they can to perform various tasks at the shelter，help make life more comfortable for the dogs and cats that stay there and do their best to find permanent homes for the stray（流浪）pets．
The shelter，at 12300 Wayne Road，opened in June 2011and operates on money raised in the community．To date，bingos and other fundraising activities have brought in more than＄177.000，according to community leader William Wadsworth，but a tight budget requires the efforts of volunteers to make ends meet．
"Without their help，this building would not be an outstanding place，"Wadsworth said．"Their time and devotion is beyond what I ever expected．And I thank them all．"
The volunteers work at the direction of two animal control officers，Annie Hall and Kim Ratcliff，who spend much of their day patrolling（巡逻）the city and housing stray dogs and cats．The two，both with 32 years of experience，count on the public to be the eyes and cars of the shelter．They are also responsible for addressing complaints and taking care of the shelter．
That's where the volunteers come in．They take photos of the animals and post them on Facebook and other websites for adoption．They clean cages，play with the animals，feed and bathe the pets and take the dogs for walks．They pick up supplies and even clean the restrooms．
"We couldn't do it without them，"said Ratcliff．"They come in and go right to work．We depend on them a lot．They help run the place，"added Hall．

14．YOU CAN HELP!
Everyone was born with his own built-in burglar alarm．It's called the sense of sight and sound．Unfortunately，many of us go around with the alarm switched off．
We don't see the stranger wandering outside the house next door．
We don't notice the sounds from the flat upstairs．
（Weren't they supposed to be on holiday？）
The police can only do so much to prevent crime．There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town．So they need your help in fighting with the burglars（窃贼），the vandals，and the car thieves．
Not，of course，by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious．It'll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals．
But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community．For instance，you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could．
A stranger in someone's garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police，if，of course，you were on the lookout．
That's the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes，springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community，anything suspicious being reported to the police．
It's early days yet，but results so far are very encouraging．The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme．And all due to people like you．
32．The underlined word"them"refers to"B"．
A．criminals            B．the police         C．neighbours              D．strangers
33．The advertisement points out that many people．B
A．are not ready to help the police
B．are not as watchful as they could be
C．don't look after their gardens well
D．don't tell their neighbors about their holidays
34．One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to．C
A．turn on the alarm system in our home
B．try to stop criminals from escaping
C．look out for people behaving suspiciously
D．inform the police if we hear noises upstairs
35．The purpose of the advertisement is to in their neighborhood．D
A ask people to join the police force
B advise people how to protect their homes
C warn people about the increasing risk of crime
D  encourage people to be on watch for possible crime．
1．How to be politeBeing polite is a matter of good manners； it's about respect，and being considerate of people's feelings，culture，and values．It does not seem difficult，but for many people it remains a challenge．While some people have no interest whatsoever in manner，if you are reading this you're probably wondering how you can improve your manners．At the very least，you might want to know how to avoid being rude，which can put off the people around you．Being polite is also a good way to make friends．
（61）F Loudness either indicates arrogance or insecurity．A charming polite person makes another person feel good．Keep this goal in mind．Be considerate of other people's needs and opinions．Don't make unfavorable remarks towards any kind of ethnic，political or religious groups under any circumstances．
（62）D You might want to practice this a bit so you don't squish （攥紧） people's hands，depending on how strong you are．That would make them feel uncomfortable．Beware especially when shaking hands of women who are wearing rings．Too much pressure can be very painful．Remember too that many people with an"old-school"etiquette background （especially if you are in Europe） find it inappropriate to offer your hand for a handshake to a lady or an older gentleman if you are a gentleman，or to an older lady，if you are a lady．
（63）E Try not to talk about yourself too much-if they want to know （or are polite） they'll ask．Be confident and charming．Do not hog the conversation，which is too rude．Look interested and listen to the answers．Don't look over the person's shoulder or around the room when they are talking，or let your eyes linger on the hot new guest who just walked in．That implies that you are distracted or not interested-that your conversational companion is not important or interesting enough to bother paying attention to．
（64）A Always be courteous （客气的），as you might meet this person again in another setting and wouldn't want to have caused negative memories that would give you a bad standing．If someone annoys or even insults you，don't get into an argument．Say"Let's agree to disagree"and change the subject，politely debate，or simply excuse yourself from the conversation．
（65）C For silverware，go from the outside in．Place your napkin on your lap，and do not add anything to the table that was not there when you got there （cell phone，glasses，jewelry）．Put your purse between your feet，under your chair．Women should not apply makeup at the table．It is rude and demonstrates a lack of refinement．If you want to fix your makeup or check if something is in your teeth，go to the restroom．

A．Be nice．
B．Be aware that manners vary．
C．Know the proper dinner manners．
D．Shake hands firmly and look them in the eyes when doing so．
E．Start a conversation by asking questions about the other person．
F．Have a laugh which shows you are having fun，without being loud．
18．Of course these days you can also get a lot of usefulinformation（信息）from the Internet．
19．If our marketing plan succeeds，we _______ the sales by thirty percent next year．（　　）
