7．There are many American expressions about insects．
Bees are known as very hard workers．So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house．In fact，you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean．You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away．When we go to see a movie，my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn．If something was the best of its kind，you might say it was the bee's knees．Now，we admit that we do not know how this expression developed．In fact，we do not even know if bees have knees!If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important，you might say she has a bee in her bonnet．If someone asks you a personal question，and you would like not to tell him or her，you might say，"That is none of your beeswax．"
Butterflies are beautiful insects，but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach．That means to be nervous about having to do something，like speaking in front of a crowd．You would also not want to have ants in your pants．That is，to be restless and unable to sit still．
If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do，you might ask him to leave you alone or"stop bugging me"．A friend also might tell you again and again to do something．If so，you might say he put a bug in your ear．If you were reading a book in your warm bed on a cold winter's day，you might say you were snug as a bug in a rug．And，if you wish someone good night，you might say，"sleep tight-don't let the bed bugs bite．"

17．Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens researches into the history of humans in Britain，a group of leading archaeologists （考古学家） says．In a letter addressed to the justice secretary，Ken Clarke，40 archaeologists write of their"deep and widespread concern"about the issue．It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years，regardless of their age．The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance．
"Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied，whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension，is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice，"they write．
    The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites，including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3，000 BC．Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time，but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground．
    The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk，where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950，000 years ago．If human remains were found at Happisburgh，they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was．Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed．
    Before 2008，guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest，while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains．The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary，but has so far failed to revise it．
    Mike Parker Pearson，an archaeologist at Sheffield University，said，"Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem，but we feel that we cannot wait any longer．"
    The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied，or on what records should be kept．
 
24．According to the passage，scientists are unhappy with the law mainly becauseB．
A．it is only a temporary measure on the human remains
B．it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research
C．it was introduced by the government without their knowledge
D．it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains

B．Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh．
C．Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time．
D．Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed．
26．What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains？D
A．The Ministry of Justice did not intend to protect human remains．
B．The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857．
C．The law on human remains hasn't changed in recent decades．
D．The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law．
27．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？D
A．New discoveries should be reburied，the government demands．
B．Research time should be extended，scientists require．
C．Law on human remains needs thorough discussion，authorities say．
D．Law could bury ancient secrets for ever，archaeologists warn．

2．They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon（科罗拉多大峡谷）：on foot，on mules （骡子） or by air．We chose the first．Up early，my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started．We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail．
As we set out，I was shocked at how narrow the path was．And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us．They had heavy backpacks，water bottles，and hats．But as usual we were dressed．As the sun rose higher，Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast （烘烤） us．There was no shade and our legs were aching．We decided to go back，with the girl on my back and the boys far behind．By the time we finally got back，we were weak．
The next day，after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast，we were ready for another view of the Canyon by air．After our last walk，this would be the easiest thing in the world．
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon．But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed （翻转） the plane around，pretending he was going to hit the ground．I shouted，"STOP，TAKE US BACK!"When we finally arrived back on land，once again our legs were like jelly（果冻）．We hardly spoke as we drove back．
As I said，there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon．We never tried the mules，but personally I'd suggest a fourth：buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic．That way，you can see the Canyon，without fear or tiredness．

1．There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years，and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future．Some of the world's leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves．
Lcmdoii
 London's flood defenses are getting older．Since 1982，the Thames Barrier has protected the city from the threat of flooding，but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years．About 26 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 addressed．
 There are 26 underground stations，400 schools，16 hospitals，an airport and 80 billion worth of property 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 11，400mainly 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 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 aet as a natural air conditioner．Shan^im Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth．It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level．Sea level is predicted to rise by 20cm within the next century．
 An estimated 250，000 people move to Shanghai every year hunting for jobs，placing extra demands on energy consumption．China relies heavily on coal-fired power stations，but these emissions increase temperature and，in turn，Waraieii seas increase the risk of typhoons．
72．What problem should be settled now in London？D
 A．How to protect the city's property．
 B．Where to build its flood defenses．
 C．How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city．
 D．How to improve the function of its flood defenses．
73．Which of the following can NOT solve the heat wave disaster in Paris according to the passage？C
 A．Limiting the amount of carbon emissions from factories or cars．
 B．Having air conditioners installed in elderly care homes．
 C．Forbidding the city to build"Flower Tower"．
 D．Encouraging architercts to design new types of buildings．
74．The major threat to Shanghai is  according to the passage．B
 A．the increasing population and the need for jobs
 B．rising sea level and typhoons
 C．extremely high temperature and rising sea level
 D．extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons
75．The purpose of the passage is to．D
 A．tell us how to protect the big cities
 B．give advice on how to defend against natural disasters
 C．explain what causes flood and heat waves
 D．warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities．
2．Greenland is Shrinking at Surprising Rate
A new study shows one of the largest glaciers in Greenland is becoming smaller and speeding to the sea faster than scientists expected．If it continues，Greenland itself could become much smaller during this century and global seas could rise as much as 3 feet．
The rates of change that we're noticing are much higher than expected．If these rates continue，it is not unlikely that Greenland could shrink by several tens of percent this century．However，it's not known how quickly this coastal response of the Greenland ice sheet melting will have an effect on the vast inland ice．
Greenland is the world's largest island，covering an area more than three times the size of Texas．Some 81 percent of it is covered by ice，and there are many glaciers．Glaciers are like slow-moving rivers of ice．Where a glacier meets the sea，its weight keeps it firmly resting on the bottom．A glacier's front is the point where the water is deep enough that the glacier floats．
Since the 1970s，the front of Helheim stayed in the same place．Then it began melting rapidly，moving back 4.5 miles from 2001 through this past summer．It has also grown thinner，from top to bottom，by more than 130 feet since 2001．And over these past four years，its trip to the sea has sped up from about 70 feet per day to nearly 110．
The melting is driven by a warmer climate．Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit in the last decade．Since most of Greenland's ice is on land，seas will rise as the ice melts．If all Greenland's ice sheet melted，oceans would be 15-20 feet higher．Nobody expects that to happen anytime soon．
68．Which of the following about the glaciers is TRUE？C
A．Glaciers only lie in Greenland．
B．Water in glaciers is more than sea water．
C．Glaciers sometimes float on the water．
D．Glaciers can increase the water level of lakes．
69．According to the text，we know that GreenlandB．
A．belongs to Canada                   
B．is the largest island in North America
C．is all covered with glaciers           
D．is sinking under the sea level
70．Which of the following may be the result of the disappearing of Greenland glaciers？D
A．the climate of the world will be warmer．
B．the glaciers in other area will be bigger．
C．It will be easy for explorers to visit the island．
D．Some coastal cities may be under the sea．
