3.More than 200scientists have completed a two-year study to identify the most natural and undeveloped areas on Earth.Their findings are reported in a new book called Wilderness:Earth's Last Wild Places.The book describes 37wilderness areas around the world.Each has an area greater than 10,000square kilometers.The study considered only areas where at least 70% of all plants are native.
North and South America are home to the largest number of wilderness areas.There are 16such areas,from southern Argentina to Alaska and northern Canada.Africa has 8wilderness areas,including the thick forests and the grasslands.Australia and New Guinea (几内亚) share 6areas.Europe has 3areas and Asia has 2.The Arabian Desert and Antarctica also are considered wilderness areas.
The largest wilderness area is the Boreal Forest (北方森林).It extends for 16-million square kilometers south of the Arctic Circle.The Boreal Forest extends across Alaska,Canada,northern Europe and Russia.The smallest of the 37wilderness areas is the Sundarbans.It is the world's largest tidal mangrove forest (红树林).It covers 10,000square kilometers of land at the mouth of the Ganges River in India and Bangladesh (孟加拉国).
The study found that wilderness areas cover about 46% of the Earth's land surface.However,they are home to less than 2.5% of the world's population.Nineteen of the wilderness areas have only about one person for each square kilometer.Native people usually live in these areas.
Wilderness areas help to influence the world's weather systems and rainfall.They are also home to many plants and animals.Population growth and the spread of agriculture and mining operations threaten wilderness areas.But just 7% of all such areas have some form of official protection.

66.What does the author think of the wilderness areas around the world in the book?C
A.Primitive    B.Permanent    C.Precious    D.Perfect
67.The writer describes the wilderness areas to show that theyC.
A.are worth the public support
B.can attract readers'attention
C.need to be stressed as resources
D.are seen on every continent
68.According to the 4th paragraph,we can draw a conclusion that the 37wilderness areas areD.
A.deserted    B.crowded   C.uncontrolled   D.undeveloped
69.As the result of the effect on nature,the wilderness areas on Earth should beA.
A.thought more of by the governments.
B.explored as natural habitats very soon.
C.further made full use of at present.
D.discovered for their advantages of nature.
70.The purpose of writing this text is to tell usBof the wildness areas around the world.
A.the importance          B.the situation
C.the development         D.the environment.

14.Why do people go to university?There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured in order to become (50)B to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school.This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard,nor would we wish to have many students here who took such a(n)(51)C view of a college career.
There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.
The most obvious one is to give knowledge-fairly (52)A knowledge in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest.But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education,it is (53)B the most important.Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your (54)A for many years,and some of those that do will even be proved (55)C by new knowledge.
(56)A,we can instill(灌输) certain attitudes of mind-a willingness to accept uncertainty,and the lack of definite truths; independence of mind,and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to.
In addition to these (57)D qualities,a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of (58)D time.Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom-in courses in the humanities and the arts.Yet,at least as much (59)B will occur outside the lecture hall-on athletic fields,in music rooms,student theaters,concert halls,and so forth.
These are some of the (60)B of a liberal college education as I see them.I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.
To begin with,I hope that we will think (61)A about what we want to accomplish here.It would be (62)C for you to set your sights on some limited goal,such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school.
Second,I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here.There are many problems waiting for your help,and many people who could (63)B your efforts.
My final bit of advice.Whatever else we do,let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously.However great our problems may seem,however urgent our complaints,they are overshadowed(黯然失色) by the (64)Cof countless other people on our planet.

11.Areas of Tokyo which had usually been packed with office workers like sushi(寿司) restaurants and noodle shops were unusually quiet.Many schools were closed.Companies allowed workers to stay home.Long queues formed at airports.
As Japanese authorities struggled to avoid disaster at an earthquake-battered nuclear plant 240 km to the north,parts of Tokyo resembled a ghost town.Many people stocked up on food and stayed indoors or simply left.transforming one of the world's biggest and most populated cities into a shell of its usual self.
"Look,it's like Sunday-no cars in town,"said Kazushi Arisawa,a 62-year-old taxi driver,as he waited for more than an hour outside an office tower where he usually finds customers within minutes."I can't make money today."
Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible, briefly touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday,smaller than a dental X-ray.On Wednesday,winds over the Fukushima (福岛) nuclear-power plant blew out to sea,keeping levels close to normal.But that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40-year-old nuclear plant with three reactors in partial meltdown (熔毁)and a fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami.
"Radiation moves faster than we do,"said Steven Swanson,a 43-year-old American who moved to Tokyo in December with his Japanese wife to help with her family business.He is staying indoor but is tempted to leave."It's scary.It's a triple threat with the earthquake,tsunami and the nuclear radiation leaks.It makes you wonder what's next."
56.The text is mainly aboutC   
A.the earthquake that happened in March
B.the government's effort to avoid disaster
C.the effects of the nuclear radiation leaks
D.the earthquake-battered nuclear-power plant
57.What did Kazushi Arisawa mean?D
A.There're usually more cars on Sundays.
B.He didn't care much about nuclear radiation.
C.He preferred to stay at home on Sundays.
D.He couldn't find many customers.
58.The underlined word"negligible"in Paragraph 4 most probably meansB.
A.serious          B.slight           C.normal          D.average
59.What can we learn about the Fukushima nuclear-power plant from the text?C
A.It lies to the south of Tokyo.
B.It started to operate about fifty years ago.
C.It was damaged in the earthquake and tsunami.
D.All its four reactors are now well under control
60.Which of the following is true of Steven Swanson?A
A.He moved to Japan with his wife last year.
B.He is now on way back to the United States.
C.He wanted to stay on to see what's next.
D.He is quite confident about the future.
18.Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Hunting wild birds is illegal in Shanghai-and especially in Chongming County.So is selling birds as pets and(50)C them in restaurants as delicacies.
But enforcement (执法) is difficult,and in many cases nonexistent,due to lack of(51)A and staff.A lot of(52)B work is left to volunteers.According to an official of the Shanghai Wild Animal Protection Association,who(53)D to be named,some small restaurants are(54)Bserving bird dishes,but the(55)C is impossible to stop at this time."We have to(56)A cooperation with the city's(57)D and industry department,the food and drug (58)C,the police and many other sectors (部门) of the government,"he said."
(59)C,there is no law enforcement power to (60)B their business licenses."
The association lacks enough people to(61)B into the Chongming woods,as the volunteers do,to(62)D nets,which are used to capture birds.The Chongming Woods Protection Team has only six members and five of them have to take care of the (63)C-only one is dedicated to bird protection,according to Jiang Long,our team leader and a member of the non-governmental Shanghai Green Oasis Ecological Conservation and Communication Center."What they can do is limited,so volunteers are needed to fill the (64)A,"Jiang said.

8.Modern science suggests that a healthy lifestyle matters much to how long you can live and how well you live.Here are some tips for you to form a healthy lifestyle.
Keep a scientific diet.Keep in mind that sugar can be removed from our diet completely.Over intake of sugar is one of the main reasons for getting fat.Over intake of protein or fat and low intake of fiber can also lead to getting fat.We need only a few grams of protein every day to keep our body in order.Like rain to crops,not the more the better.
Be always in a good mood.There is a relationship between the mood and health.A good mood keeps you in high spirits.Thanks to the internet,we can enjoy and learn much without going out.Take a look at some online shops and pick up some bargains,enjoy music and movies and chat with some good friends.Just keep happy.
Enough sleep.Two studies show the reasons why teens and adults don't have enough sleep.With teens,a major reason is mobile phone use; with adults,it's work.Meanwhile,a third study of young children shows that a lack of sleep in early life may lead to serious problems in future.Everyone needs at least 8-hour sleep to recover from tiredness and the hurt caused by hard work in the daytime.
Proper exercise.Do exercise to keep away from fatness.Because of the quick pace of modern life,you don't have time to do exercise every day,but at least three times a week and 45minutes each time.

31.The author wrote the passage toB.
A.tell the readers how to take proper exercise every day
B.provide some advice on how to form a healthy lifestyle
C.ask people to care about their health rather than their work
D.make some surveys among those who have health problems
32.Which of the following can lead to getting fat according to the passage?D
A.low intake of protein.
B.low intake of fat.
C.over intake of fiber.
D.over intake of sugar.
33.The main reason why teenagers don't have enough sleep is that theyA.
A.use mobile phones too much
B.have too much homework
C.eat too much sugar every day
D.don't have enough exercise
34.How many minutes do you need to do exercise at least every week?D
A.45minutes.  B.90minutes.  C.115minutes.  D.135minutes.
35.What can we conclude from the passage?D
A.We must take in much sugar for our body's functioning well.
B.The Internet leads to more health problems.
C.The least sleep time needed for adults is less that that of teens.
D.We need to do many things to form a healthy lifestyle.
12.The time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world's languages.Today humans express themselves in over 6,000different languages.But that is quickly changing.Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50years.After 100years,the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.
Why?It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before.This brings changes.The languages of the world's main culture are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English.People respect their own cultures and traditions,but when it comes to getting a job,knowing a world language is often necessary.It may mean the difference between success and failure.
Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way.Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world.But this knowledge doesn't come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood.It usually comes in the language of a different culture.
People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language.They can quickly share ideas and work together.Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.
Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe.Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about.If their languages die,their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world's language depends on our actions now.Will we protect endangered languages or allow them to quietly disappear?
Time will have the last word.
21.Scientists say that within 50years,perhaps,there will be onlyAlanguages in the world.
A.around 3,000          B.over 3,000         C.6,000          D.less than 20
22.In"the languages of the world's main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures."the underlined word"replace"means"C".
A.to put something back into a correct place       
B.to find good place for something
C.to take the place of something.
D.to decide how important something is
23.The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a popular world language,A.
A.it would be easier for them to share their ideas
B.people would have no trouble in learning language
C.lessons at schools would be taught in the language
D.people would respect their own culture more
24.According to the passage,if nobody spoke the languages of smaller cultures,A.
A.many of the words for things we do not know would be lost
B.knowledge would come from the mouths of the elders
C.people would have difficulty in working together
D.there would be no smaller cultures.
