    The Red Panda isn’t much bigger than an average size house cat. At first you may think it’s a bear because of its name. They’re actually a member of the raccoon(浣熊) family which you can tell if you look at their appearance. The Red Panda has a long bushy tail that is useful in two ways. It helps them stay balanced when they are high up in the trees and it keeps them warm in cold weather. Their fur is thick and reddish brown, which may be why they’re known as the fire fox.
    The Red Panda can be found in forested mountains. They’re originally from the forested mountain in the Himalayas in India, Nepal and Southern China. Bamboo is the most important part of their diet. They only eat the young leaves and shoots (嫩芽) of a bamboo plant. Red Pandas have a very low metabolic(新陈代谢的) rate in order to deal with their low energy diet and cool environmental temperatures.
    They’re very shy and gentle and don’t hang around the wild too much during the day. If they feel endangered, they’ll stand on their back legs and make a hissing(嘶嘶) sound. Red Pandas are good climbers and spend most of their time living mainly in trees. Their claws are very strong and help them hold onto the branches. They sleep in an unusual way by curling up tightly and wrapping their tails around their heads while sitting on a branch. Sometimes they’ll sleep with their head beneath their chest and behind their back feet. This is the same position as an American raccoon sleeps.
    小题1:You can tell that the Red Panda is a member of the raccoon family from ____.
    A．its nameB．its appearanceC．its dietD．its living place
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The Red Panda can only be found in India, Nepal and Southern China.
    B．The Red Panda’s tail can help it stay balanced when it is high up in the trees.
    C．The Red Panda eats the whole of the bamboo.
    D．The Red Panda has high metabolic rate when the temperature is low.
    小题3:What will Red Pandas do when they are in trouble?
    A．They will hang around the wild during the day.
    B．They will climb into the trees.
    C．They will wrap their tails around their heads.
    D．They will stand on their back legs and make a hissing sound.
    小题4:The Red Panda holds onto the branches with its ____.
    A．tailB．furC．back legsD．claws

    小题1:B

    The marine environment is fascinating to study and work in due to its beauty, richness, and complexity. It covers three quarters of the surface of the Earth, yet we know more detail about the surface of Mars.
    In the past, it was seen as both an inexhaustible resource and a bottomless sink for our wastes. Yet the increasing pressures of overpopulation, pollution and the threat to our natural environment mean that there is an increasing need for scientists who can understand how it all works, how it affects us, and how we are affecting it from global warming through to the smallest plankton.
    From local issues to global concerns, we now know that the marine environment is inextricably linked to our lives, and to our future survival. It is an area where much remains to be discovered, and where only a multidisciplinary approach can cover the breadth of issues to be confronted. This is the approach taken on our Marine Environmental Science degree course.
    This course takes a multi-disciplinary approach to explore and understand the marine environment. After an initial grounding in basic science, optional choices are available in specialist topics such as marine ecosystems and pollution, coastal navigation and oceanography, among others.
    Our new harbor side marine laboratory is used for some of the specialist lectures, laboratory and project work, while a week's residential field course in the Isle of Man provides training to prepare for the research project conducted in your final year. There is an optional trip to Belize in the final year to study tropical marine environments.
    小题1: From the passage, we can infer that ______.
    A．people waste a lot of resource
    B．marine environment covers 3/4 of the surface of Mars
    C．marine environment is beautiful for its sufficient resources
    D．the Earth is similar to Mars
    小题2:The present environment of the Earth forces the experts and scholars to study ______.
    A．the relationship between people’s actions and natural environment
    B．the relationship between people’s actions and pollution
    C．the relationship between people’s actions and overpopulation
    D．the relationship between people’s actions and plankton
    小题3: According to the passage, a multi-disciplinary approach is effective because _______.
    A．we can choose some issues as optionally as we can
    B．we have practiced the approach for a long time
    C．the approach is linked to our future survival
    D．the approach covers a lot of problems we will meet
    小题4:We can divide the lectures of the course into ______ parts.
    A．1B．2 C．3D．4
    小题5:If a student choose marine Environmental Science degree course, he must ______.
    A. make lectures about the issues to be confronted
    B. provide training to get ready to do research project

    The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported on Wednesday. Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is submerging small island nations and threatening to great damage in low-lying, densely-populated delta regions around the globe.
    The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences of rising oceans. It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change（IPCC）, according to the authors.
    Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal（热）expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice. Both processes are caused by global warming. The ice sheet that sits at the top of Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven metres（23 feet）, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai.
    Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say. But up to now, there has been a confusing gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans.
    The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reconcile（与…一致）the models with observed data. Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 metres（2,300 feet）from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimetre-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC.
    64. What happens when the ocean's temperature rises?
    A. It causes sea levels to rise.
    B. It causes sea levels to remain constant.
    C. It causes sea levels to decrease.
    D. It causes sea level to change.
    65. Which of the followings would be buried by the rising sea?
    A. Small island nations.
    B. All coastal cities around the world.
    C. People who enjoy holiday on the beach.
    D. Low-lying regions.
    66. The new study in this passage _____________.
    A. shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.32 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels.
    B. did not reveal anything that scientists hadn't already known.
    C. used new techniques to assess ocean temperatures.
    D. shows that models contradict the observed data.
    67. What was the main finding of the study?
    A. Nothing enough is being done about global warming.
    B. That ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought.
    C. That the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat.
    D. A massive report issued last year by IPCC was wrong.

    Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit (学分) which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester (学期). A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably take four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
    For every course that he follows, a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective(预期的) employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm (热情). The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities (权威). Any student who is thought to have broken rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.
    72. Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes per week.
    A. 36      B. 12     C. 20       D.15
    73. According to the first passage an American student is allowed ______.
    A. to live in a different university
    B. to take a particular course in a different university
    C. to live at home and drive to classes
    D. to get two degrees from two different universities
    74. American students are usually under pressure of work because ______.
    A. their academic performance will affect their future careers
    B. they are heavily involved in student affairs
    C. they have to observe university discipline
    D. they want to run for positions of authoring
    75. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because_____.
    A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study
    B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university
    C. such positions help them get better jobs
    D. such positions are usually well paid

    Climate change connected with the reduction of wetlands at the source of the country's two longest rivers， the Yangtze and the Yellow， has reduced the volume of water flowing into them， scientists said.
    Scientists studied changes over past 40 years to the wetlands on the cold Qinghai­Tibet Plateau in west China where the two rivers have their sources.
    They found the wetlands on the plateau have shrunk (减少) more than 10 percent over the past four years. The wetlands at the source of the Yangtze have suffered the most， decreasing by 29 percent.
    About 17.5 percent of the small lakes at the source of the Yangtze have dried up， the scientists said.
    “The wetland plays a key role in holding water and changing the water volume of the rivers，” Wang Xugen， a researcher， said.
    “The reduction of the wetland on the plateau is closely connected with global warming，” Wang said， adding that even though rainfall has increased in the area， the reduction of the wetland has reduced the flow of the Yangtze and the Yellow.
    Records by the weather station at the head of the Yangtze showed yearly rainfall at its source increased from 260 mm during 1991—2000 to 323 mm in the period 2001—2006.
    “But the increased rainfall didn't lead to more water's flowing into the rivers because the evaporation (蒸发) was so fast as a result of global warming，” Li Shijie， a researcher， said.
    Another study showed global warming had caused glaciers to get smaller， frozen earth to melt， grasslands to turn yellow and rivers to dry up.
    The Qinghai­Tibet Plateau used to have 36 000 glaciers covering an area of 50 000 sq km. In the past 100 years， their area has been reduced by 30 percent.
    60.According to the passage， the true statement of the following is that　　　　.
    A.the wetlands at the source of the Yellow have decreased by 29 percent
    B.there's no more water in about 17.5 percent of the small lakes at the source of the Yangtze
    C.the reduction of the wetland on the plateau has nothing to do with global warming
    D.yearly rainfall has increased from 260 mm to 323 mm in the past 15 years
    61.Which of the following is NOT the result of global warming？
    A.Frozen earth melts.  B.Evaporation becomes faster.
    C.Sea level rises.      D.Plants grow better in greenhouses.
    62.The area that the glaciers of the Qinghai­Tibet Plateau cover is now about　　　　sq km.
    A.35 000  B.12 000  C.15 000  D.17 000
    63.In the passage，　　　　plays a most important part in holding water and changing the volume of the rivers.

    D
    　　Beyond two or three days，the world’s best weather forecasts are doubtful, and beyond six or seven they are worthless.
    　　The Butterfly Effect is the reason. For small pieces of weather—to a global forecaster，small can mean thunder—storms and blizzards（暴风雪）—any prediction becomes worse rapidly. Errors and uncertainties increase，from dust devils and storms up to continent-size eddies（旋涡）that only satellites can see.
    　　The modern weather models work with net-like points sixty miles apart，and even so，some starting data have to be guessed，since ground stations and satellites cannot see everywhere. But suppose the earth could be covered with sensors placed one foot apart，rising at one-foot intervals all the way to the top of the atmosphere. Suppose every sensor gives perfectly accurate readings of temperature，pressure，humidity（温度）, and any other data a weatherman would want. Exactly at noon a powerful computer takes all the data and calculates what will happen at each point at 12.01, then 12.02，then 12.03…the computer will still be unable to predict whether Princeton will have sun or rain one month away. At noon the spaces between the sensors will hide fluctuations（波动）that the computer will not know about. By 12.01，those fluctuations will already have created small errors one foot away. Soon the errors will have added to the ten-foot scale，and so on up to the size of the globe.
    63．A weather forecast ____________ in the world.
    A．is reliable within one or two days
    B．is doubtful beyond 24 hours
    C．becomes useless beyond two or three days
    D．is still worthwhile in seven days
    64．Usually there is a weather sub-station____________.
    A．in every city 　　　　　　　　　　B．every 60 miles
    C．between two cities 　　　　　　　 D．every one foot
    65．Which of the following statements is true？
    A．People have not placed sensors one foot apart in the atmosphere.
    B．Scientists have already put sensors one foot apart in the world.
    C．Every sensor gives perfectly accurate data a weatherman wants.
    D．Ground weather stations and satellites can see every place on earth.
    66．Our computer will not be able to know about fluctuations because ____________.
    A．the sensors are not good enough
    B．they are hidden by the spaces between the sensors
    C．they are too far away
    D．they move very fast

    Priscilla Ouchida’s “energy-efficient” house turned out to be a horrible dream. When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $100,000 three-bedroom home in California. Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks, the house was equipped with small double-paned (双层玻璃的) windows and several other energy-saving features. Problems began as soon as the couple moved in, however. Priscilla’s eyes burned. Her throat was constantly dry. She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep. It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.
    Experts finally traced the cause of her illness. The level of formaldehyde (甲醛) gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers. The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall-to-wall carpeting.
    The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is net given sufficient attention partly because of the nation’s drive to save energy. The problem itself isn’t new. “The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along,” says Moschandreas a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland. “Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”
    The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones. Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didn’t worry much about unsealed cracks. Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour. As a result, the pollutants produced in most households seldom build up to dangerous levels.
    1. It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas’ house __________
    A. is well worth the money spent on its construction
    B. is almost faultless from the point of energy conservation
    C. failed to meet energy conservation standards
    D. was designed and constructed in a scientific way
    2. What made the Ouchidas’ new house a horrible dream?
    A. Lack of fresh air.                                  B. Poor quality of building materials.
    C. Gas leak in the kitchen.                          D. The newly painted walls.
    3. The underlined word “accentuate” in the third paragraph most probably means ___________.
    A. control        B. worsen               C. relieve               D. improve
    4. This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled “_________”.
    A. Energy Conservation                             B. Houses Building Crisis
    C. Air Pollution Indoors                             D. Traps in Building Construction
