A United Nations report says the number of people in the world is expected to reach 6500 million this July. By the middle of the century, the population could reach more than 9000 million. That would be an increase of 40﹪.
These numbers are fresh estimates for a report on world population change from 1950 to 2050. Hania Zlotnik is director of the U.N. Population Division. She says the world has added nearly 500 million people in the last six years.
But, in her words, "the good news is that new estimates show that it will take a little longer" to add the next 500 million. Mizz Zlotnik says this will probably happen by 2013.
The U.N. report says most population growth by 2050 will take place in less developed countries. Their population is expected to increase from 5000 million today to almost 8000 million. The population of more developed nations is expected to stay about the same, at just over 1000 million.
The report says nine countries will be responsible for about half the world population increase by 2050. These include Bangladesh, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia and India. The others are Nigeria, Pakistan, Uganda and the United States.
Twelve countries are expected to have populations at least three times the size now. These include Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Chad, Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and East Timor. The others are Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger and Uganda.
The report says birth rates remain low in forty-four developed countries.
Today, worldwide, there is an average of two-point-six children per woman. This number is expected to fall to just over two children per woman in  2050. But U.N. population experts note that they cannot be sure which way birth rates will go in the future.
The U.N. report also notes that AIDS has increased death rates and slowed population growth in sixty countries. The area most affected by the disease is Southern Africa.
There, how long people live has fallen from an average of sixty-two years in 1995 to forty-eight now. Researchers believe life expectancy will fall to forty-three years by 2015, then begin a slow recovery.
67. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The population growth will slow down in the next few years.
B. Most population growth will take place in developed countries.
C. There is an average of 2.6 children per woman in developed countries.
D. The area most affected by AIDS is Uganda.
68. Which one is the best title of this passage?
A. AIDS slowed population growth.
B. Most population growth will take place in less developed countries.
C. Population growth and death rate.
D. UN world population report.
69.The author believes that the population growth results from_______
A. The birth rate in developed countries is too high.
B. The birth rate in developing countries is too high.
C. AIDS hit only a few countries.
D. A decrease in death rate.
70. Which of the following best describe the author’s attitude towards the rapid population growth?
A. sympathetic     B. happy       C. optimistic     D. critical

A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said. “Okey, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. Once at a time, once at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
【小题1】The author took the job to teach writing because ______.

C.They raised their hands.D.They shouted to be heard.

C.he wanted to calm down the studentsD.he thought it was an easy topic

  We often hear the saying,“You’ve a greater chance of being struck by lightning than…”It is used to describe something that hasn't got much chance of happening. However. this common saying undermines(削弱)the very real danger of lightning

  Last Friday,at least five people were killed by lightning in Nepal

  Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths among natural disasters in the US The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year,and of those,about 73 people die. More people ale killed by lightning than by tornados and hurricanes.

  Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time. its danger does not receive a8 much attention as other disasters

  To raise awareness(意识)of the damage of lightning the US has made June 22―28 National Lightning Safety Week It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lighting and provide safety tips about what to do during thunderstorms

    “If you can hear thunder(雷),you are in danger of being struck by lightning,”said Rocky Lopes,a disaster educator at the American Red Cross

    “Thunder means that lighting is close enough to hit you at any minute. so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended The single most important thing to remember is to find a hiding place,”Lopes said

  Summer is the time for most lighting storms,so when lightning strikes across the sky,remember these safety tips:Stop working,fishing,swimming or playing in an open al-ea

  If you count less than ten seconds between the thunder and the lighting flash. take cover inside the nearest building. If that is not possible. follow these instruments.

    Do not stand under a tree

    Do not use a mobile phone

    Get off bicycles or motorcycles.

    Crouch(蹲下) down if there is no hiding place.

 

46 The popular opinion about being struck by lightning is that         .

  A there is a great chance of being killed by lightning than by any other natural disaster

  B it is the most dangerous among all the natural disasters

  C the chance that a person to be struck by lightning is very small

  D it is impossible for people to be killed by lighting

47 On average,about    of people struck by lighting die as a result

    A 18. 5%  B 50%  C 30%  D 73%

48 Among all the safety tips,the most important one is that when you ate outside and hear  thunder you should

  A. stand beside your bicycle or motorcycle    B. quickly find a place to hide

  C count ten seconds between the thunder and the lightning

  D. don’t use a hair drier

49 During thunderstorms,you should not

  A. enter a place to hide      B turn off the TV

  C close your window       D use your mobile phone

50 According to the article,what does June 22-28 National Lighting Safety Week refer to?

  A There is one week free from work

  B There ale some warnings shown

  C The public ale provided with safety tips about lightning

  D During the week in the US,lightning happens certainly.

Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. F=A+E

A. Hoping to enjoy the fun of college life again

B. No idea of a lifelong profession

C. Confusion before graduation

D. What I want to do in the future

E. Cherishing the memory of my college life

F. My college experience in the second year

94. ___________

After four years, the time has come. In less than two weeks, I will have graduated. I look back now and I can't believe how fast it all went. I can still remember the first day of classes, looking on the map on the back of the Schedule of Classes and asking where the classroom building was. Now I'm a senior, looking at freshmen with envy. Every day I wish I could freeze time, and make the next two weeks go more slowly. I know a lot of people who can't wait to graduate, but for me it's the opposite. I want to turn back time instead and cherish every day of my college experience once again.

95. ____________

For me, college has been a great learning experience, and most of the learning process has taken place outside of the classroom. My second year of college was perhaps the most remarkable year of my life. This was the year that I finally convinced my mom that I was going to be OK living on campus, and she finally let me go. This was the year that I made some lifelong friends, and through many triumphs and failures I came to know more about myself. My second year involved experimenting with new things, such as camping in mountains, attempting to present some lousy poems to newspapers and drawing cartoons of my teachers in class.

96. _____________

As I walk down the familiar routes on campus, I find myself doing a lot of soul-searching and reminiscing. I find myself wanting to start all over again and recapture the fun and excitement of my college days. I have been panicking at the idea of graduating. I have been going to school for as long as I can remember, and I feel like there is so much more that I want to learn, but instead I have to graduate. The world is enormous and the possibilities are endless. For the past four years I have been surrounded with a safety net. The student status has been a somewhat comforting feeling, giving me an escape from the realities of the world outside.

97. _____________

With less than two weeks left of school, I'm getting a queasy feeling deep down every time I think about the fact that I'm going to be graduating. For as long as I can remember, I have been a student. I feel like I'm living in denial about graduating. Every time I get asked about what I'm going to do after college I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs. I don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life. It's too difficult to even contemplate the idea that soon I will be waking up in the mornings and not have a class to which I should be going.

98. ______________________________

On a recent interview, I was asked, "Is this the profession you want for the rest of your life?" I was amused and almost laughed at the question, but I gave an honest answer. I don't know what the future holds. During the last four years I have changed my mind so many times, the idea of a lifetime commitment to a certain job seems like torture.
