Global warming is one of the major environmental problems we are facing today.

Scientists think a further rise in the carbon dioxide levels will make this situation worse. The greenhouse effect causes the earth’s heat to be trapped in the atmosphere, which results in the increase in temperature. This, in turn, has an effect on various plants and animals. Global warming makes it difficult for some of them to survive.

Ozone depletion means a drop in the quantity of the ozone(臭氧) in the earth’s stratosphere (平流层). The ozone hole in the Antarctic is mainly due to the release of CFCs ( a type of gas). Because of ozone depletion, humans are facing various problems such as the harmful effects of UV rays.

Water pollution is caused when wastes are thrown into water. What’s more, many harmful chemicals are also put into water, which causes the deaths of many wild animals and endangers the health of humans.

The increasing population is causing a loss of natural resources. This is related to various human activities. For example, overfishing has caused many kinds of fishes to die out. Forests are being cleared to meet the rising demand for paper, wood, even for land. Mining, the work of getting gold, coal etc out of the earth, has led to a further drop in mineral resources. If we used up all the resources, how could our children survive on this planet?

These are some of the current environmental problems we are facing today. Only with an effort from each person, can we hope to save our planet from being destroyed.

Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn’t matter where you live—in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village—the chances that you will be disturbed by jet aeroplanes, transistor radios, oil-powered engines, etc. are almost everywhere .We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.
　　 Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings. However ,some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓).The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
　　 One recent report about noise and concentration suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise, which doesn’t change too much (music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.
71. The best title for this passage is _______________.
　 A. Noisy Life　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Background Noise

　 C. while they are listening to pop music　　　　　 D. while they are listening to soft music
74. Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating is _____.
　 A. any kind of noise　　　 　　　　　　　　　　 B. great changes in level of noise

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals.　　　　　　

They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too！
66. Stuntmen are those who ______.
A. often dress up as actors　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. prefer to lead dangerous lives
C. often perform seemingly dangerous actions　　 D. often fight each other for their lives
67. Stuntmen earn their living by ______.
A. playing their dirty tricks　　　　　　　　　　　 B. selling their special skills
C. jumping out of high windows　　　　　　　　 D. jumping from fast moving trains
68. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.
A. he needs little protection　　　　　　　　　　　 B. he will be covered with a mattress
C. his life is endangered　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. his safety is generally all right
69. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful　 performance？
A. Strength.　　　　　 B. Exactness.　　　 C. Speed.　　　　　 D. Carefulness.
70. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.　

B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.
C. Parachutes must be of good quality.　　　　　

D. The cliff is too high.
　　　　　　　　　　　

Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said tha t what people called genius was mostly hard work.
   But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
    Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

Last year, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D. C. I saw many of our unfortunate and homeless fellow citizens on the street.
　 Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. Immediately,　 I pulled out all of my loose change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her.　 I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”
　 In a moment, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice（偏见）— I judged another person simply for what I thought she had to be.I hated what I saw in myself. This incident re-awakened my belief in humility（谦卑）I’d lost for a moment.
　 The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in US at 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, no-nonsense mother. Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, roofer, cashier, mechanic（技工）and pizza delivery driver among many other humble（卑微的）jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.
　 In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age 17 — I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. So I know what it’s like, and I should have known better.
　 But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets cured me of my self-induced（自我引发的）blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open.
59. How did the writer give the blind woman money?

　 A. In a modest way.　　　 B. In a polite way.　　　 C. In an impatient way.　 D. In a painful way.

60. According to the passage, the writer ________.
　 A. still lives a poor life.　　　　　　　　　　　 B. might be born in Honduras.

　 C. was busy with his work　　　　　　　　 D. was a native of Washington D. C.

61. At the end of the story, the writer might ________.
　 A. help the lady to the post office　　　　　　　　 B. say sorry to the woman and gave her more money
　 C. ignore the woman 　　　　 　　　　　　 D. send the woman home
