Treat with Respect

The speed with which Man is changing the face of Earth has outstripped(超过)all the mighty processes of nature put together. In his haste to supply himself with increasing quantities of Earth’s treasures, he risks destroying one he greatly needs, his natural surroundings. Some countries set aside unspoiled areas of natural beauty. Canada has the largest system of national parks in the world, covering about 13 million hectares, preserving the different landscapes and the plant and animal life.

Other countries are restoring areas which have been reduced to waste land by mining. At Broken Hill in Australia drifting sand from rock crushing turned the area into a desert swept by sand storms. This is now being irrigated, fertilized and planted with grass and trees. In Great Britain quarries and gravel pits(深坑) are being filled in or made into lakes, industrial wasteland is being turned into playing fields and waste tips into sloping green hills.

However Man tries to look after Earth, the fact is that he is using up at a great rate resources, especially fuel resources, which have taken millions of years to accumulate and which he cannot renew. Yet every day the Earth receives a huge supply of energy from the Sun. Man has made several experiments in using solar energy to heat furnaces(熔炉), cookers, and water-distillers. In space technology, e.g. on satellites, solar cells convert(使转变) sunlight into electricity. Houses and offices have been designed which are centrally heated by water or air heated by the sunlight. When Man can trap and store this energy, so that he can use it exactly as he needs it, he will have not only an endless supply, but a clean and safe one.

       A.Many areas throughout the world have been transformed into wasteland by mining.

       B.Australia and Great Britain are the only two countries that are changing the face of the Earth.

       C.Some countries are taking effective measures to make use of the wasteland and to beautify the Earth.

       D. Developing countries should learn from developed countries to look after our natural surroundings.

2.According to this selected passage, which energy is considered to be endless, clean and safe?

       A.Energy from lake waters.

      B.Energy from fuel resources which have taken millions of years to accumulate.

       C.Energy from forests.

       D.Energy from the Sun.

3.Which country has the largest scale of nature protection according to this passage?

       A.Great Britain       B.Australia          C.the U.S.A.      D.Canada

4.Which of the following statements do you think is true after reading the passage?

       A.Man is destroying the natural surroundings on purpose because the surroundings cannot make them satisfied to get enough treasures.

       B.All the wasteland throughout the world is now being irrigated, fertilized and planted with grass and trees.

       C.Where there is a desert, there can be sand storms.

       D.Energy from waters, forests, fuel resources and the sun takes millions of years to accumulate.

科目:高中英语 来源:2013届浙江省宁波市五校高三5月适应性考试英语试卷(带解析) 题型:填空题

下面文章有5处需要填入合适的内容。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出最恰当的内容 。
A. Keep your expectations realistic
B. Call a friend right before the date
C. Show up on time
D. Dress comfortably
E. Make eye contact
F. Telling the truth
Many of us get nervous just at the mention of a first date, but it really doesn't have to be such a big deal if you' re prepared. That's where this article comes in. After interviewing hundreds of singles all over the U.S about their first date experienced, we've put together a list of first date dos and don' ts to help out.
1. ___________
Staring at your hands, at the table, or at the guy in the blue shirt sitting at the next table doesn't exactly say "I dig you". You might do that out of shyness on your part, but keep in mind that the person sitting in front of you might not understand that and take it personally. Of course don't stare too hard, it might look a little freaky, but make sure your eyes meet often enough to keep both of you going.
2. ____________
It' s never cool when someone keeps you waiting, so don't keep them waiting either. And NO-a fashionably late entrance will NOT make you look better. You'll just look rude and inconsiderate. If you' re feeling anxious before a date, keep in mind that your date might be feeling anxious as well, so don' t prolong their suffering any more than necessary.
3. _____________
As exciting as dating someone new can seem, you' re better off not expecting to meet Prince Charming right off the hat. If you keep your expectations realistic, good date will be a pleasant surprise and lousy date won' t matter as much.
4. _____________
By comfort, I don't mean sweatpants and laundry-day underwear. But it is a first date, so you don' t want to be overdressed either. What if your date shows up in jeans and a sweater and you' re all about sequins, silk and spike heels? Instead, you should definitely go for a nice and attractive yet comfy outfit, with comfortable shoes. If you hit it off and go walking around, you want to avoid being cold or getting blistered feet. You can easily go for a casual but sexy look and pass the first date treat with flying colors.
5. _____________
If you didn't feel any sparks flying between the two of you, tell your date gently but honestly. Nobody's feelings should have to get hurt. On the other hand, if you did feel that you clicked, forget about the supposed "dating rules" that say you should wait a few days before calling him or her again. Listen to your heart and go ahead and call if you want to. If the feeling is mutual, your date will be happy, and maybe even relieved, that you picked up the phone first.
