The city of Rome has passed a new to prevent cruelty to animals. All goldfish bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.

This comes after a national law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert cats or dogs.

“The civilization of a city can be measured by this,” said Monica Carina, the councilor (议员) behind the new law.

“It’s good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence with their attention,” she told a Rome newspaper.

The newspaper reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go blind.

“Rome has tried to protect fish more than anywhere else in the world. It stands out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals who deserve(值得) over respect and compassion every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big fines (罚款) and prison sentences. Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.

The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of up to $598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.

The new law in Rome also says that owners mustn’t leave their dogs in hot cars or cut their dogs’ tails to make them look lovelies. The law also gives legal recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats. The cats live all over the city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.

The new law passed in Rome will ________.

A. help improve fishing environment

B. guarantee better conditions for goldfish

C. stop people from catching goldfish

D. discourage keeping goldfish at home

The underlined word “compassion” in Paragraph 6 is the closest in meaning to ________.

A. pity                  B. praise                C. support             D. popularity

People may break the law in Turin if they ________.

A. keep their dogs or cats in cars

B. feed homeless animals in car parks

C. raise their cats near ancient ruins

D. shut their dogs home all day long

简答题(共3小题;每小题1.5分,满分4.5分)

Tsunamis (海啸) are a series of huge waves created by an underground movement such as an earthquake or a volcanic eruption (火山喷发) . A tsunami can travel hundreds of miles per hour in the open ocean and hit the land with huge waves.

From the area where the tsunamis come, waves travel in all directions. Once the waves approach the coast, they will become more than 100 feet in height. The topography (地形) of the coastline and the ocean floor will influence the size of the wave. There may be more than one wave and the latter one may be larger than the one before. That is why a small tsunami at one beach can be a huge wave a few miles away.

All tsunamis are dangerous, even if they may not damage every coastline they strike. A tsunami can strike anywhere along most of the US coastline. Many harmful tsunamis have occurred along the coasts of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii.

A movement of the ocean floor, caused by earthquakes, most often causes tsunamis. If a tsunami occurs close to a coast, the first wave could reach the beach in a few minutes, even before a warning is given. Areas are at greater risk if they are less than 25 feet above sea level and within a mile of the coastline. Drowning is the most common cause of death during a tsunami. Tsunami waves are very harmful to buildings. Other dangers include floods, pollution of drinking water, and fires from gas lines.

An accurate prediction (预报) system will allow authorities (官方) to issue timely warnings and save lives in the event of a shore-bound tsunami. But forecasting tsunamis accurately is very difficult because the ocean is usually calm before they strike land.

65. What can cause tsunamis according to the passage? ( 回答词数不超过6个 )

66. What harm can a tsunami bring besides killing people and damaging buildings? ( 回答词数不超过15个 )

67. Why is it very difficult to forecast tsunami accurately ? ( 回答词数不超过9个 )

THE Little Mermaid, a fairy tale by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen is well known. It tells of a young mermaid who falls in love with a prince. She wants to be with the prince so she gives her tongue to a witch, who gives her legs for her fish tail. But the story has an unhappy ending. The little mermaid never gets to be with the prince.

At the Denmark Pavilion(展馆)at Shanghai Expo 2010, visitors will have a chance to meet the little mermaid. How so? In the form of the famous statue from Copenhagen.

Petersen Niels Lund Petersen, a designer of the pavilion said the idea was to find something for the Chinese and the Danish to share.

The brewer(酿酒商)Carl Jacobsen of Carlsberg gave the statue to the city of Copenhagen in 1913. The work of Edvard Erichsen, the statue, is one of the most well-loved in Denmark. About 75 percent of all tourists who visit the Danish capital go to see the Little Mermaid.

Visitors to the pavilion will find the Little Mermaid in the water from Copenhagen’s harbor---just as she is in her home city. Two decades ago the harbor was filthy with pollution from factories. Today it is so clean that local people will sometimes take a swim in it. Visitors to the pavilion will be able to take off their socks and shoes and dip their toes in the water.

The pavilion will give visitors a sense of life in a modern Danish city. They can ride a bicycle in a Danish bicycle path, visit a park on the roof and have an organic picnic there, China Daily reports.
