Thailand’s capital Bangkok is both attractive and wonderful, a city of glass towers and concrete buildings crowded with nearly 10 million people. The ground beneath is spongy(松软多孔的) and moist. Imagine a brick resting on top of a birthday cake. That’s Bangkok-and it’s sinking into the Earth at an alarming rate.
Thailand’s disaster specialists have been warning of this coming disaster for years. One expert has said he’s worried about Bangkok resembling Atlantis. Another previously told Global post that the city will be under five feet of water by 2030. The latest estimates suggest that Bangkok is now sinking as fast as two centimeters per year in parts of the city. The predictions for 2100 are even more terrible. By then , Bangkok will be fully submerged and unlivable.
Like global warming, which will accelerate the city’s submersion by raising the sea leavel, Bangkok’s sinking problems are repeatedly shrugged off. But the monsoon season, currently underway, tends to bring this crisis to mind. A nasty storm can suddenly turn Bangkok’s streets into gushing streams. Sewers overflow, taxis move through dirty water and, occasionally, kids can pick up displaced fish.
Anond Snidvongs, director of the Southeast Asia Regional Research Center, predicts the city’s outskirts will be the first to go. Parts of the shoreline ebyong Bangkok are already liend with pumps that make noises and help to transform invading seawater. They don’t always work. During heavy rains, salt water flows in the streets of the city.
Bangkok is swallowed up a little more each day. Experts tend to offer two solutions. The first is to pu up a massive seawall that could cost nearly $3 billion-nearly 1 percent of Thailand’s current GDP. The second option is to give up entirely and move the capital to higher ground.
1.Why is Bangkok sinking into the earth?
A. Its buildings are too heavy.
B. It has an overlarge population.
C. Its underground is too loose.
D. It is resting on top of a lake.
2.What is the most likely meaning of the underlined phrase “shrugged off” in Paragraph 3?
A. ignored
B. valued
C. agreed
D. misunderstood
3.What information does Paragraph 4 express?
A. The optimism and wisdom shown by the city people.
B. The present serious situation Bangkok is faced with.
C. The weakness of the pumps to transform water.
D. The huge power produced by the surrounding seawater.
4. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Bangkok is disappearing
B. The removal of Bangkok
C. Thailand’s capital needs a seawall
D. An attractive city under water

In August 2015, President Obama announced that North America’s highest mountain, Mount McKinley, would be renamed. Its new moniker（名字）, Denali, was actually its original Aleut name, meaning “the high one”. The previous name, on the other hand, only dates back to 1896—the year when it was named in honour of William McKinley（1843—1901）, who was shortly to become President of the United States. Denali is of course not the only mountain with an interesting linguistic history, so let’s travel to Asia, and across Europe, to explore the naming of those continents’ most famous peaks and mountain ranges.
The Nepalese name Himalaya comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “Abode of Snow”, from hima for “snow” and ālaya for “abode”. In Buddhist sources, Himalaya is known by various names such as Himavā and Himavanta.
In 1856, Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest （1790—1866）, who was the superintendent （负责人） of the Trigonometrical Survey of India. Everest himself was initially displeased by the naming, since he feared that local inhabitants might not be able to pronounce it.
K2 stands for Karakoram 2, because it was the second peak to be surveyed in the Trigonometrical Survey in the Karakoram system. It was also formerly known as Mount Godwin Austen after Col. H. H. Godwin Austen, who first surveyed it. Another alternative name for the mountain is Chhogori.
Annapurna is a household Goddess for Hindus, who guarantees to her worshippers （崇拜者）that food will not fail. The name derives(源出) from a Sanskrit word meaning “one who gives nourishment”.
The Matterhorn’s name derives from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt, the second element of which is apparently Matte “meadow”, and Horn, “horn”. Horn is not an unusual element in German names of mountains with jutting（突出的）peaks. The mountain is called Mont Cervin in French and Monte Cervino in Italian, from the Italian adjective cervino “deer-like”, which conjures up （使想起）a deer’s antlers.
Ben Nevis is the Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic name Beinn Nibheis, which means“Mountain by the（River）Nevis”. The name of the river apparently derives from a Celtic root for “water”.
1.How many continents’ mountains are mentioned in the passage?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
2.Himalaya is a mountain also named ________.
A. Nepalese B. Abode of Snow C. Alaya D. Himavā
3.Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?
A. Everest was unhappy about the name of Mount Everest at first.
B. K2 was once called Col. H. H. Godwin.
C. Annapurna means “one who offers food”.
D. Matterhorn comes from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt.
4.The above mountains’ names come from sources other than _________.
A. color B. a Sanskrit word
C. a person’s name D. geographic name

A dog might be man’s best friend, but my dogs are more like my kids! I think everyone should experience the unconditional love of a dog, but owning one is not for the nervousness. It’s work—especially when it comes to the job of cleaning up their waste. When you clean up after your dogs, your neighbors will love you for keeping those smelly landmines out of their yards. But there are even bigger benefits. You’ll not only be doing your part to keep bacteria out of your yard and neighborhood, you’re also keeping harmful microorganisms away from the drinking water supply.
There are more than 77 million pet dogs in the United States and their waste is found in backyards, neighborhood parks, and the green areas that frequently line small waterways. When you don’t clean up after your dog, heavy rain can carry bacteria from the waste into drains. Dog waste left in parks and other such places can be swept directly into nearby streams. This affects the quality of the water in our streams. These small channels often empty directly into our local drinking water supply or the water where we boat or fish.
Dog waste contains harmful microorganisms like roundworms that can be passed onto humans. This is why dog waste should not be used as fertilizer around your home. And it won’t fertilize your yard either if you leave it behind like other types of fertilizer. Dogs don’t eat the same kinds of natural material that cattle, horses or even elephants eat. The waste from those animals is actually beneficial for your yard and garden.
You should always pick up after your dog and throw the waste into the trash can. Some smaller cities might prefer the waste to be washed down the toilet, but in cities where there are many dogs, it’s best to send the waste to the landfill.
When you properly deal with your dog’s waste, you’ll be doing your part to keep harmful bacteria out of your yards, your neighborhoods and your drinking water.
1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The author’s dog is as lovely as a child.
B. Dog waste can pollute the environment.
C. Owning a dog is a troublesome experience.
D. Dog waste is more harmful than landmines.
2.Which shows the right organization of the passage?
（P1 ＝ Paragraph 1; P2 ＝ Paragraph 2; P3 ＝ Paragraph 3; P4 ＝ Paragraph 4; P5 ＝ Paragraph 5）
3.Which of the following statements about dog waste is true?
A. It makes a kind of natural fertilizer of high quality.
B. The microorganisms in dog waste are helpful to water.
C. It is better to wash dog waste down a toilet or bury it in a landfill.
D. Dog waste is more beneficial to soil than other kinds of animal waste.
4.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To scold those who ignore their dog’s waste.
B. To introduce ways of cleaning up dog waste.
C. To warn dog owners about the danger of dog waste.
D. To argue it is the duty of the owners to clean up dog waste.

A recent housing project in Helsinki offers remarkably cheap apartments for those under the age of 25. They must commit to spending time with their older neighbors.
Helsinki offers 247-suqare-foot studio apartments with a bathroom, storage space, kitchen, and balcony for only $272 every month—about a third of the average price for a studio in the city. The apartment is inside homes for the elderly, and the young renter must spend between three to five hours with their elderly neighbors each week.
Like pretty much all other major cities in the world, Finland’s capital of Helsinki has faced rapid population growth in recent years. And with population growth, comes an inevitable rise in the cost of living, and of course, sharp increase in rent. Currently, Helsinki is ranked 14th on the list of the world’s most expensive cities. For those young and freshly independent, this causes terrible problems — even homelessness.
"It's a very expensive city to live in," Mr. Bostrom writes in an email to CNN’s Eoghan Macguire. "If you manage to get an apartment that the city owns, it can be quite affordable. The screening criteria included the ability to participate in a variety of activities, such as cooking or playing instruments, but the number of applicants for those apartments is so high that waiting list takes forever,” he says.
According to Helsinki’s Youth Housing Association, the city council aims to ensure that every young person will have a home by 2018. Miki Mielonen, a representative of the youth department, says this project, currently in its trial stages, will help out young people while offering social benefits to senior citizens. “I think there is quite a rigid opinion in Finland with many people thinking young of the old ideas that we are going to break down.”
1.Helsinki probably rents a cheap apartment to a young man who ________.
A. reaches the age of 25
B. has financial problems
C. promises to accompany the elderly
D. agrees to share it with his neighbor
2.Which is the root reason for the housing problems in Helsinki?
A. The population explosion.
B. The high living standard.
C. World’s priciest apartment rent.
D. Low employment of college graduates.
3.According to Mr Bostrom, the cheap apartments are ________.
A. well-decorated B. difficult to afford
C. in short supply D. popular with technicians
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The young in Helsinki are mostly homeless.
B. Helsinki will overcome people’s prejudice.
C. The project will be experimental in future.
D. The project is more beneficial to the young.
