    The amount of carbon taken in by growing plants increased from 1982 through 1999 as
    temperatures rose and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. But a new study
    in Friday ’ s edition of the journal Science found a drought - related decline in such plant growth
    from 2000 to 2009，even though temperatures continued to climb.
    As drought caused by warming reduces the land ’ s ability to take in carbon，the result could
    be more carbon dioxide left in the atmosphere，and thus more warming，Zhao Maosheng from the
    University of Montana explained in a telephone interview.
    “This is a pretty serious warning that warmer temperatures are not going to endlessly improve
    plant growth ’” co - author Steven Running，also from the University of Montana ’ said in a
    statement. “ We see this as a bit of a surprise，and potentially significant on a policy level because
    previous interpretations suggested global warming might actually help plant growth around the
    world, “ he said.
    Instead, he and Zhao found a small but measurable decline of about 1%，compared to a6%
    increase in the past decade.
    Their study，based on the data collected by NASA satellites，found that north areas continued
    to increase plant growth，thanks to warmer temperatures and a longer growing season.
    Someone commented, "This past decade’ s net decline in earthly productivity suggests that a
    complex relationship between temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and carbon dioxide, probably in
    combination with other factors such as nutrients(营养）and land management，will determine
    future patterns and trends in productivity.，，
    小题1:From the first paragraph, we can learnin the recent decade or so.
    A．the emission(排放)of carbon hasn’ t been reduced
    B．draught has been causing loss of soil and water
    C．carbon dioxide levels have been rising
    D．the rise of temperature doesn' t promote the plant growth
    小题2:Zhao Maosheng really worried that .
    E.     more and more land will be abandoned
    F.    the climate becomes warmer and warmer
    G.   the emission of carbon dioxide increases
    H.   draught further reduces the number of the plants
    小题3:Steven Running made his statement to  .
    I.      confirm Zhao' s views on the influence of temperature rise
    J.     urge the government to take necessary measures
    K.    warn the people to strengthen the plant protection
    L.    support Zhao* s views on lhe plant production
    小题4:We can infer from the passage that  .
    A．global warming will determine the future productivity
    B．various factors play a key role jointly on future productivity
    C．earthly productivity actually increased in the past decade
    D．temperature rise has had no effect on future producticity patterns

    After our early morning wake-up, we are still a couple of
    hours away from the overlooks.It is pitch black.I can feel the
    heavy humid fog left behind my last night's rain. This is why
    the tour memo listed "flashlight". Unfortunately; the majority
    of our hiking party of nine must have missed the memo, so we
    have only four flashlights between us.
    An hoar later,we are on the trail. It is dark, foggy, wet and the rocks are alippery.We alternate places between the flashlights "haves" and "have-nots". As we march, the only voices heard are from the "haves": "Step up, step down, watch out for the rock on your left."
    We reach Intipunku with only 15 minutes to spare. The view at sunrise is not what we were told in the travel brochures. Three feet in front of our faces is a white substance called "fog".
    As we walk towards the Machu Picchu ruins, my anticipation is mounting. When will the fog lift? Slowly, as if someone is cranking up a curtain, Huayna Picchu begins to appear,overlooking Machu Picchu. First there are fleeting glimpses, and then finally, there is, in its full splendor.
    When I envisioned going to Machu Picchu, I always thought of mysterious ruins and the famous postcard picture looking toward Huayna Picchu. But there is more to this man-made / natural wonder of the World. It is the adventure of getting there. I knew I wanted to experience the feel of the Inca culture and the energy of this sacred valley, I also knew I didn't want to take the train, but needed to hike. Depending on your starting point,the Inca Trail is 25 to 33miles of semi-arid desert, breathless mountain passes and stunning tropical cloud forest. Our hike took us four nights and 25 miles to finish.
    Our local guide MaurO keeps telling us "no worries, the hike is 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical. "I am not convinced that the physical percentage is correct, but I definitely become more and more excited as we are now getting closer to Machu Picchu.By getting myself into good shape, running 20 miles and hiking a 500-foot-high hill five to seven times per week before I left for Peru, I was able to enjoy the beauty of the hike and not worry much about aching muscles and lungs.
    小题1: About flashlights, which of the following statements is true?
    A．The local guide had asked them to take flashlights for the hike.
    B．They had taken enough flashlights for the hike.
    C．Before they got to Intipunku, they depended a lot on their flashlights.
    D．They used flashlights all the time.
    小题2: Put the following events into the right order.
    a. They reached Intipunku,
    b. They read the travel brochures.
    c. They walked on the trail in the dark.
    d. They advanced to get closer to Maehu Picchu.
    e. They enjoyed the splendor of Huayna Picchu.
    A．ebadeB．bacdeC．abcedD．bcaed
    小题3: What does the underlined word "anticipation" in Paragraph Four mean?
    A．expectationB．excitementC．disappointmentD．enthusiasm
    小题4: What can NOT be inferred from the text?
    A．The writer made good preparation for the tour.
    B．The Inca Trail took them four nights.
    C．Machu Picchu is in the country of Peru.
    D．They reached Intipunku ahead of time.
    小题5: According to the writer, what attracted him most in the tour?
    A．Mysterious ruins.B．The famous post-card picture.
    C．The hiking.D．The Inca culture.

    If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to grasp what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar(不熟悉). You can not enjoy a story if you stop half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
    When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on(依靠) the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main thread(主线) of the story. In all probability(可能) you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.
    小题1:To read for pleasure means _____________.
    A．to take pleasure in reading
    B．to be satisfied in reading book
    C．to read such books as novels, plays, travel books, etc
    D．to go on with reading pleasantly
    小题2:The phrase “to get on with reading” in the passage has the same meaning as “_________”.
    A．to try to grasp the meaning of every sentence in the book
    B．to try to catch the meaning of every word in the book
    C．to try to understand all the writer is going to tell you
    D．to try to understand the main idea of the book
    小题3:、When you meet new words in reading such kinds of books, you’d better _________.
    A．stop and look them up in a dictionaryB．stop and think them over
    C．try to guess their meanings from the context D．have none of them
    小题4:According to the passage the best way to read novels, plays and travel books is _____.
    A．to read very slowlyB．to read quickly and not too carefully
    C．to read very carefullyD．to read very seriously

    Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants (居民) are using these spaces.
    The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate (不成比例的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas (但是）there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obivous that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory (强制性的) activities can also have a recreative aspect.
    The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.
    小题1: According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment _______.
    A．is still unknownB．is being closely studied
    C．is usually neglectedD．has been fully recognized
    小题2:The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _______.
    A．the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood
    B．all of the recreation facilities far from home
    C．relatively little attention for recreative possibilities
    D．the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood
    小题3:The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspaces should be provided _______.
    A．in special areasB．in the suburbs
    C．in the neighbourhood of the houseD．in gardens and parks
    小题4: The author says “more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect” to _______.
    A．suggest that obligatory activities don’t need to serious
    B．show that recreation activities are very important
    C．show how recreation activities have spread wildly
    D．suggest how to offer recreation activities around home
    小题5:Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragraph?
    A．One lives the very best standard of living.
    B．There are too many distractions outside his home.
    C．There are few recreations around his house.
    D．One needs the street door of his house to be opened always.

    There is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant．Recently another boy told Bill that he should "go Ajax" his teeth．Bill was crushed．If the other boy had been thinking, he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation．He could have dealt with it with tact．He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful, sensitive way—that's "tact"．
    If a person isn't sensitive to another's feelings, there is no way he or she can be tactful．Yesterday, my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set．Unfortunately, he used furniture polish, which produced an oily film on the television screen．My mother smiled arid thanked him for his efforts—and then showed how to clean the screen properly．Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect．Yet, sensitivity alone does not make tact．
    "Tactfulness" also requires "truthfulness"．Doctors, for example must be truthful．If a patient has just been disabled in an accident, a tactful doctor will tell the truth—but express it with sensitivity．The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available．Doctors must use tact with patients' relatives as well．Instead of bluntly saying, "Your husband is disabled," a doctor might say, "I'm sorry, but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and．．．"
    Tact should not be confused with trickery．Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection（注射） and says, "This won't hurt a bit．" Instead of trickery, the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it．It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits．
    Tact is a wonderful skill to have, and tactful people are usually admired and respected．Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in．
    小题1:The underlined word "crushed" in the first paragraph probably means____．
    A．surprisedB．cheatedC．regretfulD．painful
    小题2:According to the author, his mother's praise for the brother is ____．
    A．sensitive and tactfulB．sensitive but not tactful enough
    C．truthful but not tactful enoughD．sensitive but trickish

    Watercolor（水彩画） is the oldest paints known. It dates back to the early cave men. They discovered that they could mix the natural colors found in the earth with water. In this way they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the wall of caves.
    Fresco（壁画）, one of the greatest art forms, is done with watercolor, it is created by mixing paints and water and applying these to wet plaster（灰泥）. Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelos’ works in the Sistine Chapel, very few know they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.
    The invention of oil painting by the Glemish masters in the fifteenth century made fresco painting go downhill, and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches（素描） or as tool for study. It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters put back watercolor as a serious art form. The English have widely-known love for the outdoors and also for small, private pictures. The softness of watercolor had a strong attraction for them.
    The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until the twentieth century. The United States took the place of England and became the center of watercolor. It produced such well-known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.
    小题1: The first watercolor users were___________
    A．the early cave men
    B．Italian fresco artists
    C．Flemish masters
    D．the English artists in the 18th century
    小题2: In the 16th and 17th centuries the artists thought__________.
    A．watercolor was more costly, but better
    B．oil painting lasted less long, but clearer and brighter
    C．watercolor was not suitable for serious works
    D．oil painting was difficult to use

    A．it was easy to use outdoors
    B．it was a strong tool
    C．it was extremely bright in color
