Cities need to put efforts to deal with pollution and clear the air.

Chinese cities will need to put efforts to clear up the sky when a new department to improve regional air quality is set up by 2015, according to the latest plan released by the State Council.

Besides the existing pollution control program for SO2, regional emission caps (区域排放上限) for other certain chemicals will be established in the three key air polluting areas— the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas, according to the plan.

“The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution—such as acid rain and smog—which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent years and caused a severe threat to people’s health,” Zhang Lijun, vice-minister of environmental protection, said in an interview on Monday.

“The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because pollutants (污染物) Can travel through the atmosphere,” said Chai Fahe, vice-director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences.

“So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city, targeting a certain pollutant will not be enough,” Chai said.

Zhang said, “The country’s major industrial districts—the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region—have recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent years.”

These three regions, home to at least 200 million people, occupy only 6. 3 percent of the country’s area but consume 40 percent of the country’s coal and produce half of its steel, according to official figures.

Studies also show that the visibility (能见度) in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s, as a result of air pollution.

Liaoning province, the Shandong Peninsula, Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area, the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region in Hunan province, the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution control programs, according to the plan.

The new plan also requires an improved air quality system, which will measure the pollution levels. “The current system, which only measures some major pollutants, cannot reflect the true picture.” said Chai.

1. It will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city because　　　.

A. air pollution has been becoming more and more serious in recent years

B. air pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening people’s health

C. air pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areas

D. air pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities

2.. Suppose the visibility in eastern regions of China was 130 km in the early 1960s, the visibility there nowadays is　　　.

A. 123 to 115 km　　　　B. 137 to 145 km

C. 123 to 145 km　　　　D. 115 to 137 km

3.. The main purpose of the passage is　　　.

A. to inform readers of the damage caused by air pollution

B. to introduce the new plan to control air pollution

C. to provide official figures of air pollution levels

D. to point out the regions affected by air pollution

4.. What does the underlined phrase“the true picture”in the last paragraph mean?

A. The major pollutants.

B. The key polluted areas.

C. The major polluted cities.

D. The pollution levels.

【解析】

试题分析:目前，国务院提出了一项最新计划，要求中国的城市努力去控制空气污染，整顿环境。这项计划旨在处理如酸雨和雾霾等地区性空气污染问题，而且此项计划还要求相应地改进空气质量检测系统，否则目前的空气质量检测系统不能反应真正的状况。

1.细节理解题。根据文章第四段 “The air quality in a city affects……So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city, targeting a certain pollutant will not be enough,”可知污染空气的物质会在大气层中流动，所以整治一个城市的空气污染是不够的，故答案选C。

2.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段 Studies also show that the visibility (能见度) in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s,可知中国东部地区的能见度与六十年代相比下降了7-15公里，由此判断A选项正确。

3.主旨大意题。根据文章开头……according to the latest plan released by the State Council.可知国务院提出了一项最新的计划要求城市到2015年改进空气质量，达到符合的标准，然后在下文中都是对此项计划进行细致说明，由此判断文章的目的是介绍一项控制空气污染的新计划，故答案选B。

4. 词义猜测题。根据文章末段首句可知新计划要求改进空气质量系统，因为这是衡量空气污染程度的标准，由此判断本句内容是指目前的系统不能衡量真正的空气污染程度，故答案选D。

An experiment was carried out at British school into the performance of new pupils. At the start of the year, the pupils were each given a rating, ranging from “excellent prospect” to “unlikely to do well”. These were totally untrue ratings and did not reflect how well the pupils had previously performed. However, these ratings were given to the teachers. At the end of the year, the experimenters compared the pupils’ performance with the ratings. Despite their real abilities, there was an astonishingly high connection between performance and ratings. It seems that people perform as well as we expect them to.

The Self-fulfilling Effect is also known as the Pygmalion Effect. This comes from an old Greek story. The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaw’s play “Pygmalion”, later turned into the musical “My Fair Lady”. In Shaw’s play, Professor Henry Higgins claims he can turn a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle into a duchess. But, as Eliza herself points out to Higgins’ friend Pickering, it isn’t what she learns or does that determines whether she will become a duchess, but how she’s treated.

The implication (含义) of the Pygmalion Effect for leaders and managers is massive. It means that the performance of your team depends less on them than it does on you. The performance you get from people is no more or less than what you expect, which means you must always expect the best. As Goethe said, “Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”

A. try out a new teaching method

B. pick out the most excellent pupils

C. learn if expectations affect performance

D. give each pupil a proper rating

4.What made Eliza change into a duchess according to Eliza herself?

A. Strict training from Higgins.

B. Her own strong will and hard work.

C. The proper way she was regarded

D. Warm encouragement from Pickering.

5.According to the Pygmalion Effect, if you want a man to finish a hard task in a short time, you should say, “_________”.

A. I’m sure you can make it

B. I will help you any time

C. It is as easy as pie

D. It doesn’t matter if you fail

（本短文10处需要改动，其中有8处需要改错，一处需要添词，一处需要删词）

I like music very much, pop songs particularly. Every evening then I am doing homework and at weekends when I at home, I always play some of my favorite songs on my tape recorder. The familiar patterns of notes attracts me into the colorfully world of music. Now and then I stopped to follow the songs. Sometimes, my mother comes in, asking me to fix my attention to my homework. She does not like the pop music. Like most grown-ups, she enjoys folk songs, because the peaceful music reminds her of their beautiful life when she was young. It is a truth which people of different age understand music differently and enjoy different kinds of music.

When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get.

For kids, happiness has a magical quality. Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫无掩饰的)．

In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity. I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party.

In adulthood the things that bring deep joy—love, marriage, birth—also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)．

My definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”．The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are.It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.

I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch－box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love. When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.

Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work.I don't think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her.

We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we've got to have. We're so self－conscious about our “right” to it that it's making us miserable. So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier.

Happiness isn't about what happens to us—it's about how we see what happens to us. It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative. It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess.

A 12-year old boy who donated bone marrow (骨髓) to his dying sister and has raised more than￡10,000 for charity has been named the UK’s Family Hero of the Year.

Adam Kerr, 12, from Armagh, Northern Ireland, also helps his mother care for his younger brother Brian, 9, who suffers from the genetic disease Fanconi’s anaemia (贫血症). But it is not the first hardship that has affected young Adam. When he was just six, he donated his own bone marrow to his younger sister Helen who suffered from a rare blood disorder. Sadly she developed complications and died a few months after the operation in 2005.

Adam found it very difficult to be happy after Helen’s death. So he decided to start raising money in memory of Helen to help local poor children and families with bereavement (丧亲之痛). Overall he has raised ￡10,000 and he has no intentions of giving up.

He organised a Fun Day to provide the money for a brother and sister from Northern Ireland to visit their sick brother having a bone marrow transplant in a London hospital.

He received his award and a cheque for￡2,000 at an “Oscar’s style” ceremony in London. Ms Phillips said: “Adam is an incredible young man. In his relatively short life he has faced real sadness and bad luck and yet he works tirelessly to make life better for others.”

The Awards were sponsored by the charity 4Children and Take a Break Magazine. Anne Longfield OBE, Chief Executive of 4Children said:“It’s an honour to recognise Adam’s devotion and self-sacrifice, and his bravery shows there is always reason for hope and optimism. There is so much unrecognized goodwill out there of people who do so much for others, and the inspiring winners of the Family Heroes Awards remind us how important it is for us all to do our best to make a difference in the lives of others.”
