    Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit．

    　　You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature．But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation(撤离)of an island nation－the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland．

    　　During the 20th century, sea level rose 8－12 inches．As a result．Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country's drinking water．

    　　Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years．Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms．

    　　Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions(导致温室效应的气体排放),which are a main cause of global warming．“By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC．

    　　Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries．

    　　Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable(易受影响的)to rising sea levels．Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”．

    1．What is the direct cause of more and fiercer storms according to scientists?(no more than 8 words)

    ___________________________

    2．Why was Laupepa not satisfied with the United States?(no more than 10 words)

    ___________________________

    4．What is the text mainly about?(no more than 7 words)

    _____________________________

    答案：
    解析：

    　　1．Higher surface water temperatures of the sea

    　　2．Because it doesn't agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions

    “Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend. It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.

    “Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two.” Jenna announced loudly.

    The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.

    The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!

    I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.

    “Wow, ” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”

     “Okay…well…I have to go,” she said softly.

    “Okay. See you later then…” and I closed the door.

    “Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.

    The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eight-two.”

    I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her back yard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to get even and making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.

    How would the author and Jenna get along with each other after Christmas?

    A. They would be close friends again.

    B. They would not speak to each other.

    C. They would lose touch with each other.

    D. They would go on fighting with each other.

    The underlined sentence “I was bossy” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”.

    A. I looked like a boss   B. I acted as a boss

    C. I was fond of giving orders      D. I was fond of fighting

    Which of the following is the right time order according to the passage?

    a. Jamie became our friend.

    b. I felt lonely and unhappy.

    c. Jenna, Jamie and I fought a lot.

    d. Jenna brought me a Christmas card.

    e. I was sorry for what I did to her.

    f. Jenna and I promised to be lifelong friends.

    A. f a b c e d       B. a c f b d e         C. a b c f e d         D. f a c b d e

    The author was delighted when she read the card from Jenna because _________.

    A. what Jenna wrote was funny   

    B. Jenna would be her friend again

    C. she was happy about the coming Christmas

    D. she was happy to receive a Christmas card

    Directions: 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.

    Learn how to relax
    The right amount of stress is a necessity
    Share your stress
    Take care of yourself
    E. Try physical activities
    F. Be a participant
    【小题1】_____________
    Stress comes from mental or emotional activity and physical activity. It is unique and personal to each of us. You need stress in your life. Without stress, life would be dull and unexciting. Stress adds flavour, challenge, and opportunity to life. Too much stress, however, can seriously affect your physical and mental peace. A major challenge in this stress-filled world of today is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.
    【小题2】 ____________
    When you are nervous, angry, or upset, release the pressure through exercise or physical activities. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve that “uptight” feeling, relax you, and turn the frowns (皱眉) into smiles. Remember, your body and your mind work together.
    【小题3】____________
    You are special. Get enough rest and eat well. If a problem is beyond your control and cannot be changed at the moment, don’t fight the situation. If you are irritable (急躁的) and tense from lack of sleep or if you are not eating correctly, you will have less ability to deal with stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun, or you should ask your doctor for help. Be good to yourself.
    【小题4】____________
    One way to keep from getting aboard, sad, and lonely is to go where it’s all happening. Sitting alone can make you feel disappointed. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, get involved. Offer your services in neighbourhood or volunteer organizations. Help yourself by helping other people. Get involved in the world and the people around you, and you’ll find they will be attracted to you. You will be on your way to make new friends and enjoy new activities.
    【小题5】____________
    The best way of avoiding stress is to relax. Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives. For a while, forget your worries about time, productivity, and “doing right”. You will find satisfaction in just being, without struggling hard. Find activities that give you pleasure and that are good for your mental and physical well-being. Read a good book or listen to beautiful music to create a sense of peace. Forget about always winning. Focus on relaxation, enjoyment, and health.

    Section C

    Directions: 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.

    A  Preparation for taking a citizenship test

    B  Citizenship tests in European countries

    C  Cultural differences and conflicts

    D  New US Citizenship Test

    E  Different views on the new citizenship test

    F  Goal of the new citizenship test

     

    80.

     

    Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services（US-CIS）. It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are l3 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.

    81.

     

    The newly released US citizenship exam has included more information and knowledge. People who take it need to know more about the adopted country and have a deeper insight into its culture and values. “The goal is to make it more meaningful.” explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US—CIS. Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better “understanding and respect” for US civic values, Gonzalez says.  

    82.

     

    The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a “shared commitment” from immigrants for their adopted country's “values”. In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language／work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude（裸体的）women bathing at beaches and gay（同性恋的）men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that “newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores（风俗）”.

    83.

     

    Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile (敌对的) to each other. Promoting unity has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes（少数民族聚居区）in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.

    84.

     

    Officials believe that a person's attachment to a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate（同化）themselves. “Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?” says Ali Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition（难民辩护联盟）.
