2．The timelyarrival （到达） of the teacher prevented the situation from becoming worse．

1．Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China's higher education reform？It's too early to answer．But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education．Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50students，so-called child prodigies（奇才），to begin classes on March l，2011．On graduating in 2015，these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education----unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities．
The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology，but if the government will not approve the school，the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions．Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas．
The difficulties，however，have not frightened students and their parents away．On Dec.18，2010more than 1，000students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews．
Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation．Not a penny comes from the government．So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run．
The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011and 2020．The goal is to make China's higher education internationally competitive．To accomplish this goal，the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out．The ministry should have applauded the independence．The school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise．
Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage．Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill．

20．There has been a large increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years，and it is believed 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．
London
London's flood defenses are getting older．Since 1982，the Thames Barrier（水闸）has protected the city from the threat （威胁）of flooding，but it was only designed to last until 2030and close once every two or three years．About 31years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions，by 2050the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not solved
There are 26underground stations，400schools，16hospitals，an airport and 80billion worth of property（财产）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 11，400-mainly 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（安装）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 act as a natural air-conditioner．
Shanghai
Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth．It has a population of 18million and is only 4meters above sea level．Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20cm within the next century．
About 250，000people move to Shanghai every year in search of work，placing extra demands on energy consumption（消耗）．China depends heavily on coal-fired power stations，but these emissions increase temperatures and，in turn，warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons．

32．What problem should be settled now in London？A
A．How to improve the function of the old flood defenses
B．Where to build its flood defenses
C．How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city
D．How to protect the city's property
33．Which of the following measures can't solve the heat wave disaster in Paris？C
A．Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo．
B．Having air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes．
C．Forbidding the city to build"Flower Tower"．
D．Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings．
34．The major threats caused in Shanghai areD．
A．increasing population and coal-fired power stations
B．extra demands on energy consumption and coal-fired power stations
C．increasing population and rising sea levels
D．rising sea levels and typhoons
35．The purpose of the passage isB．
A．to tell us how to protect the big cities
B．to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities
C．to explain what causes flood and heat waves
D．to give advice on how to defend natural disasters．
