In the 1960s Professor Bolin predicted that the “greenhouse effect”, caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, would lead to important changes in the Earth’s climate. At the time his prediction were regarded as science fiction. But it is now gradually agreed that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will double from 0.03% to 0.06% in the next 50 years and that temperatures worldwide will rise by 2°Celsius.
Although a temperature rise of 2°may not seem significant, the local effects may be much greater: in polar regions a rise of 10°by 2025 is expected and in Northern Europe a rise of 4°. Indeed the first effects were expected to be felt before the end of the 20th century,
But how does the “greenhouse effect”operate and why should such a tiny proportion(比例)of CO2 have such a harmful effect? When living creatures breathe out or when things are burned, CO2 enters the atmosphere. Until recently all of this was absorbed by plants, which converted it back into oxygen.
However, the balance of nature has been disturbed. In power stations, in factories and in our cars, we are burning more and more fossil fuels( coal, oil and natural gas ) and this produces huge quantities of CO2---18 billion tons of it enter the atmosphere every year. Added to this, the destruction of forests means that less CO2 can be converted into oxygen by plants. So, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year.
【小题1】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A.Professor Bolin’s predictions were taken seriously in the first place
B.Only a small portion of the atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide
C.No changes in climate will become noticeable for 50 years or more
D.The rise in temperature will probably be 2 degrees in every part of the world.
【小题2】The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year because       .
A.Carbon dioxide is produced when we breathe
B.Carbon dioxide is produced when we burn things
C.More forests are destroyed and more fossil fuels are burned
D.The global temperature keeps rising
【小题3】The “greenhouse effect”refers to         
A.the problem of the rising global temperature
B.the problem of increasing population worldwide
C.the problem of decreasing population worldwide
D.the problem of air pollution
【小题4】The underlined word“operate”in the third paragraph most probably means“      ”.
A.playB.moveC.manageD.function

A

Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.

He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are a very good friend. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn’t. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.

Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered abotrt being rich, because you are a self-made man?

Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I do not know much. All I am is rich.

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to bring happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

56. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money_______.

A. is a good way to test your friendship     B. will do harm to your friendship

C. will strengthen your friendship           D. is a good way to break off your friendship

57. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview?

A. He does not feel that he is well educated.

B. He does not think that he is a very important person.

C. He doesn’t think that being rich is worth so much attention.

D. He does not consider himself to be very successful

58. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book?

A. Money is an end.         B. Money is a means.

C. Money is everything.      D. Money is unimportant.

59. Which of the following might the author disagree with?

A. Money is important in modern society.

B. The meaning of life does not completely lie in money.

C. Wealth will surely bring the owner happiness.

D. Happiness is not necessarily the result of wealth.

 

 

TOKYO—A child-like robot that combines the roles of nurse, companion and security guard is to go on the market to help the growing ranks of elderly Japanese with no one to look after them.

    The “Wakamaru” robot can walk around a house 24 hours a day, warning family, hospitals and security firms if it perceives (notices) a problem. It will, for example, call relatives if the owner fails to get out of the bath.

    Cameras implanted in the “eye-brows” of the robot enable it to “see” as it walks around an apartment. The images can be sent to the latest cellphones, which display the pictures.

    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which developed Wakamaru, plans to start selling the metre-high robots by April, 2005, for about $15,000 Cdn.

    Wakamaru, which speaks with either the voice of a boy or girl, is also designed to provide companionship, greeting its “papa” when he comes home.

    It is the first household robot able to hold simple conversations, based on a vocabulary of around 10,000 words. It cannot only speak but can understand answers and react accordingly.

    It will ask “Are you all right ?” if its owner does not move for some time. If the answer is no, or there is no answer, it will telephone preset numbers, transmitting images and functioning as a speakerphone.

    Wakamaru will inform a security firm if there is a loud bang or if an unknown person enters the house while the owner is out or asleep. It can recognize up to 10 faces.

    But like most robots it cannot climb stairs.

    It can be set to remind forgetful people when it is time to take medicine, eat and sleep.

    Mitsubishi adapted Wakamaru from robots it already makes to go around nuclear power facilities. The idea to use the technology in the home came from a company employee.

    The project chief said :“Looking at the ageing of society and the falling birth rate we decide that this could work as a business. We want to offer Wakamaru as a product that helps society.”

    The technology has gained nation-wide publicity in Japan among increasing concern over how to look after the ever-growing number of old people. The life expectancy of Japanese women has shot up to almost 85, the highest in the world.

    At the same time, extended families are being replaced by nuclear families. This has left many Japanese anxious about their elderly parents, whom they rarely see because of their long hours at the office.

1.Which of the following is true about the Robot?

A. It is used in some nuclear power facilities.         

B. It cannot speak but can understand answers.

    C. It can go up and down the stairs easily.    D. It can recognize as many as 10 faces.

2.The purpose of this passage is ________.

    A. to introduce a new product         B. to solve the aging problems

    C. to tell people how to use the robot   D. to show the rapid development of technology

3.What can we infer from the passage ?

    A. The robot can dial proper numbers for help.

    B. The robot is likely to have a promising market.

    C. The robot has given the Japanese a chance to live longer.

    D. The nuclear families have left many elderly Japanese anxious.

4.What is the best title of this passage ?

  A. The Latest Development of Robot Technology  B. Japanese Robot and the Aging Society

    C. Vast Market of the New Robot      D. Japanese-built Robot to Help the Old

5. Wakamaru _____________________.

   A. is a  child who is always taking good care of his grandparents 24 hours a day.

   B. has a vocabulary of around 1,000 words

C.  is the first household robot that has ever been produced.

   D. has ameras implanted in the “eye-brows” which enable it to “see” when walking.
