     In 2008 and 2009 I published two articles researching a lull (停歇)in solar activity. At the time, there
appeared to be some disagreement among scientists as to what effect this might have on humancaused
global warming. Now climate scientists agree a less active sun won't have much of an effect.
     According to the reports from the IPCC, global climate is expected to warm between 4 and 10
degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100. On the other hand, scientists show that  the reduction in radioactive
forcing due to low solar activity would reduce world temperature half a degree F if the lull in solar activity
lasted until the end of the 21 century.
     It is highly unlikely the current lull in solar activity  would have such a long period. "It is more likely that a new lull in solar activity would reduce the global temperature average of 0.2 Celsius by the end of
2100," commented Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, who was responsible for a study of a lull in solar activity
effects on climate at the Institute for Research on the Impacts of Climate Change in Potsdam.
     In short, this small forcing is likely to have little, if any, observable effect on humancaused global
warming,at most reducing the temperature increase to between 3.5 and 9.5 degrees F. The reason for
the small effect on temperature is due to the fact that the difference between solar activity highs and lows
changes solar output by less than one half of one percent. So the difference in the amount of energy
coming out of the sun between solar highs and lows isn't very large. The result is that the human forcing
on climate is many times larger than that caused by any natural difference in the sun.
     Generally if humancaused climate_change isn't controlled it can't be stopped by natural changes in the
sun.

1. What once caused the argument among scientists?

A. The reduction in world temperature.
B. That humans are responsible for global warming.
C. That humans are stronger than nature.
D. Whether the lull in solar activity has effect on humancaused global warming.

2. According to scientists, world temperature would fall a little if ________.

A. less CO2 is given off
B. more trees are planted
C. redioactive forcing becomes strong
D. the lull in solar activity lasts a long period

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The author is expert at writing science fiction.
B. The current lull in solar activity will last very long.
C. The power of humans is stronger than the sun on global warming.
D. The IPCC reported that world temperature would fall greatly.

4. What do the underlined words "climate change" refer to?

A. The flood.
B. Global warming.
C. The earthquake.
D. Global environmental change.

5. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The effect of global warming.
B. An argument among scientists.
C. That humans are a cause of global warming.
D. That a less active sun cannot stop global warming.

阅读表达
阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求).

     (1)Our character, basically, is a mixture of our habits. "Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action,
reap a habit;________, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny (命运)," the maxim goes.
    (2)Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are  often unconscious patterns, they
constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
    (3)As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, "Habits are like a cable. We weave a rope of it
everyday and soon it cannot be broken." I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I
know habits can be learned and unlearned. But we also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process
and a tremendous effort.
    (4)Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as we saw the first men
walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts had to break out of the
tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first
few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles.
     (5)Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit.
Breaking deeply developed habitual tendencies such as procrastination(拖延) , impatience, criticalness,
or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower
and a few minor changes in our lives. "Lift off" takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the
gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new situation.
     (6)Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our
habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps
our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force,
and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish
effectiveness in our lives.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

     Are you tired of the same old schedule on Mother's Day? Well, here are some new ideas to help you enjoy
that special day with your mother.
     While it seems almost a tradition to take your mother out for dinner on Mother's Day, perhaps this year
you could try something else. You could invite her to a restaurant before or after the actual day. This way you
don't have to fight the crowds, and the prices will be lower.
   Take your mother out for a picnic lunch if the weather is nice. You and she can enjoy the cool breeze under
the shade of a tree while having a nice meal that you have made for her. Be sure to pack some of her favorite
foods.
     Another idea would be to invite your mother to go bowling (打保龄球). Even if she has never bowled in
her life, trying something new is always interesting.
     You could treat her to a movie she is dying to see, and make sure you buy her all the popcorn and candies
she can eat. If you are a male, the chances are you won't like the movie she wants to see, so instead you could
go to the mall and get your picture taken with your mother, which she can proudly display in her house.
     Take her to a spa on Mother's Day. She has been working so hard and needs a way to release her stress.
     If she doesn't want to go to a spa, buy her special soaps and oils so she can relax herself in her own tub.
There are various types of soaps and oils with delicious flavors available. You could also buy her some
scented (芬芳的) candles that she could light by her tub to make the atmosphere peaceful.
     No matter what you choose, make sure you do something special for the woman who took care of you
for so long.

         1    You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however.
Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:
Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do.
After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping,
dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.     2   A weekly schedule may not solve all
your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may
be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or
television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class.     3    Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking
notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that
your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material.    4 If you do these things regularly, the
material will become more meaningful, and you'll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a
subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so
don't be over worried.
        5 You will probably discover them after you have tried these.

A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
B. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.
D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E. Maybe you are an average student.
F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.
G. This will help you understand the next class.

     Willa Cather once said. "When people ask me whether writing has been a hard or easy road, I
always answer with the famous saying: The end is nothing; the road is all. That is what I mean when
I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never used the computer with the thought that one more task
had to be done. "
     Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her, but rather
for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and full of the vigor(活力)
of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from child to young womanhood and where she developed
a deep 1ove for the treeless land of the great plain with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers.
     "It's a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later. "It takes hold of you or  it leaves
you perfectly cold. A great many people find it very dull; they like a church tower, an old factory. a
waterfall, the country all made to look like a German Christmas card…But when I come to the open
plain, something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently. "

      The first harvest means the death of the crops as grain is gathered, and the thanksgiving of the people
to the goddesses who provided them with life sustaining grains.
     Late July and early August mark the middle of summer and the beginning of the harvest season.
"Famine (饥荒) was common during July as the previous years' harvest supplies were almost totally used UP. Harvesting grains in August ensured the continuance of life and was recognized by many cultures as a
time of thanksgiving.
      In ancient Rome the grain goddess Ceres was honored on the first harvest called Ceresalia in her
honor. Our modern word cereal comes from her name. Other goddesses celebrated at the first harvest
were Demeter, Persephone, Venus and the Corn Mother. Many native American tribes honor the Corn
Grandmother during the Festival of Green Corn. It was held during the full moon when the corn was
ready to be harvested. The celebration lasted for several days and was a time to be thankful and a time
of forgiveness.
     Lughnasadh was a happy time regarded as the first of three harvest festivals. Lughnasadh honors the
god Lugh, and his foster-mother Taillte who died while clearing the fields of Ireland for agriculture. In
Old Irish "Lunasa" means "August". The Celts celebrate this day from sunset of August 1 to sunset on
August 2 as the wake of Lugh, the Sun-King whose light began to decline after the summer solstice (夏至). At this time oaths ( 誓言) were taken and contracts were signed.
     This day was known to the Saxons as Lammas, or loaf-mass, a time when grains were harvested and
baked into bread. The grain was harvested, giving its life so that people might live. The grain was made
into bread, and the bread was symbolic of the gods. Christians later adopted this holiday as a day when
bread, made from the first fruits of the harvest, was brought to the church to be blessed.
     August is a time to reflect on the past year, on things that have come to fruition and things that failed.
A time to let go of regrets and say farewell to things that have passed and preserve all the fruits that have
been gathered to hold onto for future memories.

1. The passage should be entitled ______.

A. August Harvest Festivals
B. August Tradition
C. Gathering Grain
D. Special August Time

2. What was the significance of harvesting grains in August?

A. It welcomed the death of the crops.
B. It provided the chance of thanksgiving.
C. It guaranteed the continuance of life.
D. It marked the middle of summer.

3. Which of the following is NOT a close relationship according to the passage?

A. Ancient Romans - the grain goddess Ceres. '
B. Native Americans - the Corn Grandmother.
C. Christians - the god Lugh and his foster-mother Taillte.
D. The Celts - Lugh, the Sun-King.

4. From the last sentence of the 4th paragraph "At this time oaths were taken and contracts were
signed", we can infer that the Celts are ______.

A. happy at that time
B. Serious about the day
C. are full of hope
D. thankful at that time
