What would happen if the sea level rose 25 metres? What kind of planet would we live on if global temperatures went up two or three degrees Celsius?

A recent report by the United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) makes depressing reading. It says the earth would be a totally different place if temperatures went up.

James Hansen who led the study explains that, “If warming is kept less than one degree Celsius, the effects of global warming may be relatively manageable.” But he said, “If it rose 2 to 3 degrees the sea level would be about 25 meters higher than today.”?

What effects would a 25-metre increase in sea level have? Well, it would leave Shanghai’s under 23 metres of water. Its 17 million residents would have to leave, or be washed away. Around the world billions of people would have to give up their homes and jobs to escape floods.

Humans would not be the only ones affected. If global warming continues, animals and humans will be forced to share a much smaller amount of land. Moreover, along with the rise in world population, can you guess the result of more people living on less land? It will mean greater competition for resources like food and clean water. Competition could easily become conflict.

But Professor Thomas Gale Moore of Stanford University, California, US, disagrees. In an article titled “Why Global Warming Would be Good for You”, Moore argues that” 6,000 years ago the earth experienced much hotter temperatures? The desert was full of plants? There was plenty of water for humans and animals.”

NASA says the rise in temperature is related to so-called greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. But Moore claims this is wrong. “Some scientists believe that ‘polluting’ gasses cause temperatures to rise. In the past, temperatures rose before levels of gasses, not after gasses rose.”

The professor concludes that sea levels will rise by no more than 30 centimetres and this will not be noticed by most people around the world.

60．The story is mainly written to       .

       A．explain the different causes of global warming

       B．analyze how people will be affected by global warming

       C．show scientists hold different opinions about global warming

       D．remind people to do more to protect the environment

61．Which of the following below shows the right order, according to James Hansen?

       a．polluting gases      b．rising sea level     c．human activity      d．global warming

       A．abcd                   B．acdb                   C．cadb                   D．cabd

62．According to Thomas Gale Moore, we know that        .

       A．there is no need to worry about temperature increases

       B．deserts form because of rising temperatures

       C．the rise in temperature is related to some gasses

       D．the sharp rise in sea level will not do great harm

63．From the story, we can conclude that      .                              

       A．global warming is completely the result of human activities

       B．there will be more sea but less land on  earth in the future

       C．a lot of research has been done to deal with global warming

       D．we still don’t know for sure how bad the effects of global warming will be

Adama, 24, almost died making the journey from Burkina Faso in Africa to Spain. Because he was an illegal migrant, he had to make the dangerous journey in a small boat which nearly sank.

He finally arrived in Madrid, Spain hoping for a better life, but his troubles didn’t end there. He has found it difficult to get a job, and has often had to sleep on the streets.

“In my country, at least I was able to eat. I felt very miserable. But I kept fighting, because I had to make a life for myself,” he said.

Adama is one of 191 million people who have left their birthplace for a new life in another country, according to a United Nations report published on September 6. “State of the World Population” tells varied stories of people who leave home to look for a better life.

Most migrants move to wealthy nations, since they offer opportunities for higher wages, better education and healthcare. In the report, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan emphasized the positive effects of migration. Migrants are prepared to take jobs, which local people don’t want to do such as cleaning and agricultural labour.

Migrants work very hard because many want to earn money to send back to their poor families. The report showed that money sent home by migrants totalled US$232 billion in 2005, more than twice the amount 10 years ago? India, China and Mexico benefit most.

Many migrants move to Europe, which has an ageing population and not enough young workers. Migrants help to fill gaps in the labour market and support older people in retirement.

But critics of immigration say migrants are a threat to people’s jobs. They claim migrants lower working standards because they are prepared to accept less money and fewer benefits. Many people fear too much immigration will destroy their traditional societies.

Other critics say Western countries should not encourage skilled workers to leave their homelands. It can lead to a shortage of skilled labour in less developed places like Africa, where there are now too few nurses to work in the hospitals.

“There is an urgent need for stronger co-operation between countries to make migration safe and fair,” said Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, executive director of the United Nations population Fund.

64．Adama serves as an example of       .

       A．illegal immigrants who are heavily criticized

       B．millions of immigrants who seek a better life

       C．immigrants who send lots of money back home

       D．people who live a miserable life in foreign countries

65．The purpose of the passage is to        .

       A．draw people’s attention to the issue of migrants

       B．explain why critics don’t favour immigration

       C．help Adama to find a better job

       D．encourage migrants in developed countries

66．Critics of migrants believe         .

       A．migrants makes the competition for jobs harder

       B．migrants cause a brain drain（人才流失）in some countries

       C．migrants lower working standards

       D．All the above

67．Which of the following correctly reflects the structure of the story?

       A．Present condition ? benefits ? problems ? suggested solutions

       B．Example ? general condition ? reasons ? suggested solutions

       C．Migrants ? purpose ? influences ? summary

       D．Example ? general condition ? influences ? summary

During a winter’s night in 1935, Xia Xinmin, a 21-year-old soldier in the Red Army, was climbing a snowy mountain. With heavy snowflakes flying around him, Xia felt shattered by the piercing cold wind? He couldn’t move one more step. So his friends tied him to the tail of a horse, dragging him forward.

“You can’t imagine the cold, fighting for breath on the high mountain,” said Xia. “But I survived thanks to help from other soldiers and our strong willpower.”

Xia was among the soldiers who overcame the dangers of the 12,500-kilometre Long March. Surrounded by Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang Army, the Red Army began the two-year march to escape. On October 22,1936, they finally succeeded, arriving at Shaan’xi.

This year marks the 70^th anniversary of the victory? Seventy years have passed, but stories of the Red Army’s bravery have been passed down through families. “I was quite touched when my grandfather told me his wartime stories,” said Guan Yingran, 17. His grandfather experienced countless dangers after he joined the Red Army at the age of eight.

“Gradfather said it was their belief in winning a better life for all the people that finally led them out of darkness,” said Guan.

Yin Weidong a policeman who retraced the full route in October, fully understands the power of belief. The 34-year-old was really frightened when he fell into a swamp. “It helped me understand the spirit of the Long March which means you must never give up hope.”

Recent years have seen groups of people like Yin retrace the march. Two Englishmen finished their new Long March in 2003. This summer students from 13 universities took part in a relay to cover the full route. In this way they figured out what young people could learn from the Long March.

Lin Lu, a 17-year-old girl said the Long March encouraged her to work hard during Senior 3. “Like the soldiers, I believe in myself and that I can win a place at my dream school.” However, she said her bitterness is nothing compared to that of the army. “They lost their lives, but all that I lost was a few hours’ sleep.”

“In modern society where beliefs tend to be lost, the Long March teaches people to search for them again,” said Wang Shuzeng, author of the book “Long March” in 2006.

68．The experience of Xia          .

       A．showed how tough the journey can be for those who want to retrace the route

       B．is an example of the tough soldiers who achieved the success of the Long March

       C．gave us a clear picture of what qualities a good mountain climber must have

       D．warn us of the potential dangers of climbing high mountains alone

69．Those who retraced the route        .

       A．are inspired by the spirit of the Long March

       B．overcame the same dangers as 70 years ago

       C．believed in winning a better life for all the people

       D．were mostly students from famous universities

70．By quoting the author of the book “Long March”, the writer means that          .

       A．the Long March is a valuable lesson for people in modern society

       B．people should try to retrace the route of the “Long March”

       C．living in a comfortable environment, people easily lose their beliefs

       D．people should sometimes search for difficulties in their lives

Despite the cold morning wind in Montreal last weekend, Ahmad Al-Bahely was busy handing out candies. He was overjoyed at hearing that Saddam Hussein had been sentenced to death.

“That’s how we celebrate in Iraq,” said the 15-year-old high school student. Al-Bahely’s family was forced to leave Iraq in 1991 after the first Gulf War. They fled life under Saddam Hussein for a new beginning in Canada. “We are proud that this terrible man will get what he deserves.”

An Iraqi court has sentenced Saddam, 69, to death after a 13-month trial. He was found responsible for the killings of 148 people in a village, north of Baghdad in 1982. The murders were carried out in revenge for an attempt on Saddam’s life.

Thousands of Iraqis oppressed during Saddam’s 24-year rule took, to the streets to celebrate. Meanwhile, groups near Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit gathered to support the former president. “We’ll avenge you, Saddam,” the crowd shouted.

But many simply remained calm. “Whether Saddam lives or dies is not important to me?,” said Imad Mohammed, a computer engineer. “I’m not even sure whether my family and I will live or die.”

Iraqis were not the only ones to have different views on the court’s decision. The international community was also divided over the sentence.

US President George W. Bush called the trial a milestone in the Iraqi people’s efforts to replace a tyrant with the rule of law. But many European countries said Saddam should not be put to death. The Catholic Church called the sentence “eye for an eye” revenge.

“This is not the way to present the new Iraq to the world. It should be different from the way of Saddam, who was behind hundreds of thousands of deaths,” said an Italian organization opposed to the death penalty.

Islamic leaders warned that hanging Saddam could lead to revenge by Saddam’s supporters, deepening the rift（不和）in the war-torn country. According to new research by a leading US university, over 650,000 Iraqis have been killed since the 2003 Iraq War began.

“They blame Saddam for killing people. But who will judge the leaders for the killings that happen every day now?” said 30-year-old Bahjat. He refused to give his full name out of fear.

“The sentence is just an important settlement with the past, but the big challenge for Iraq’s people is the future. Big compromises are required for lasting freedom and secured peace,” said Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt.

71．What can we learn from what Ahmad Al-Bahely said?

       A．Many people in Iraq hated Saddam.       B．He sells candies as his part time job.

       C．Only students in Iraq hated Saddam.      D．Some people felt sorry for Saddam.

72．Which of the following statements about Saddam Hussein is WRONG?

       A．He is 69 years old.                               B．He killed over 650,000 Iraqis.

       C．He ruled Iraq for 24 years.                   D．He will possibly be hanged.

73．From the story, we can conclude that the death sentence given to Saddam is      .

       A．causing controversy among people around the world             

       B．good news for the world peace

       C．bad for Iraq because it will cause more fighting

       D．what Iraqis have expected for a long time

74．According to what Imad Mohammed and Bahjat said, we know that         .

       A．they care more about their present and future lives

       B．Iraqis don’t value their lives very much

       C．some Iraqis don’t care about the future of their country

       D．Iraqis are opposed to the death penalty

75．The passage is mainly about       .

       A．how people reacted to Saddam’s death sentence

       B．why Saddam was sentenced to death

       C．what kind of life Iraqis are living now.

       D．what effect the death of Saddam will have.

书面表达

Dear students,

I’m here in front of you with a heavy heart, because I have been shocked by the terrible loss of lives from the land slide, which hit Dong Shan in May, 2006.

The number of the deaths in the disaster is up to 80 and hundreds of people need immediate aid. The disaster caused great loss to the area. In the fact of this sudden disaster, the government and people there have displayed an admirable level of confidence, courage and capability to save themselves from danger. Merciless as the disaster was, we human beings are sympathetic and caring. As a member of Chinese people, we have the responsibility and duty to help them. Let’s work together hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder to help people there in rebuilding their beautiful homes. Save the pocket money and donate it to the war against nature.

Thank you!
