D

  As the country's economy continues to steam ahead,once popular forms of entertainment,such as Karaoke(卡拉OK),card games and even boxing bars,appear to be losting their attractiveness.Stressed out white - collar wokers are camping out on rooftops,smashing(砸)up restaurants,pretending to be children and even visiting cemeteries in a effort to ease the pressure of modern life.

  Consider the members of Shanghai's Cat Rain club.By day,this group of young women work executive (决策管理的) jobs,but by night they climb buildings so they can spend the night on the roof."You feel relaxed when you're sitting on the roof,looking up to the sky and chatting with friends," said Gong Ying,25.

  The stress of work is not just limited to people in Shanghai.A recently opened restaurant in Beijing encourages customers(顾客) to smash plates --- as long as they are willing to pay to replace them.Some workers even wish to return to their childhoods.Recently,hundreds of people took part in a festival in which adults pretended to be children.It was an adultsonly event,and participants could read comics and eat sweets all day.

  Scenic places such as parks and rivers can also help people relax and put things in perspective.But a cemetery?

  Cemetery companies in Shanghai organized visits to local graveyards for stressed - out workers in March.The participants were taken to quiet spots in the cemetery where they could think about life and their futures."Pressure may bring us unhappiness,but it doesn't mean we can't find ways out,"says Chen Bin,a rooftop camping fan with still some other interests."Life should be imaginative."

  68.Peopel are going to those new activities mainly for ______.

   A.recreation   B.new ideas   C.physical refreshment   D.psychological relaxation

  69.The underlined phrase "put things in perspective"in the 4th paragraph possibly means______.

   A.have a good rest          B.get over negative feelings

   C.take physical exercise      D.judge things correctly

  70.When Chen Bin says:"Life should be imaginative",she means______.

   B.the dead can be alive in our imagination

   C.people should create new ways of life

   D.we should view life positively

 Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe. Studies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45 per cent of reptile (爬行动物) species and 24 per cent of butterflies are in danger or dying out.

  European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr Peter Baum, an expert in the environment and natural resources division of the council, when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park. The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council’s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality, and Dr Baum had come to present it to the park once again. He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right.

  “No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction,” he went on. The shortsighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.

  “We forget that they are the guarantee (保证) of life systems, on which any built-up area depends,” Dr Baum went on. “We could manage without most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature. However, our natural environment areas, which are the original parts of our countryside, have become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land.”

59. Recent studies by the Council of Europe have declared that ____ .

 A. wildlife needs more protection only in Britain

 B. all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out

 C. there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere

 D. many species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protecting

60. Why did Dr Baum come to a British national park?

 A. Because he needed to present it with a council's diploma.

 B. Because he was concerned about its management.

 C. Because it was the only national park of its kind in Europe.

 D. Because it was the only park that had ever received a diploma from the council.

61. The last sentence in the second paragraph implies that ____ .

 A. people should make every effort to create more environment areas

 B. people would go on protecting national parks

 C. certain areas of the countryside should be left intact (完整的)

 D. people would defend the right to develop the areas around national parks

62.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?

 A. We have developed industry at the expense of countryside.

 B. We have forgotten what our original countryside looked like.

 C. People living on islands should protect natural resources for their survival.

 D. We should destroy all the built-up areas.
