    70．What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage? A. To suggest how time flies. B. To persuade busy people to relax. C. To advise people to keep their promise. D. To persuade readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy. 答案:67-70 CABD E “The world’s oceans are slowly getting more acidic. say scientists. The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The lowering of the waters’ PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature. Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century. These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change. “This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, said Dr Caldeira. “And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid impacts. However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life. Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to pH changes. Coral reefs and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected if the water’s acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH. In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power station in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming. But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. “Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing --- because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming. 【查看更多】

     

    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.
    I can't count the times I called my sister and said,“How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer(结结巴巴地说), “I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday. I had a late breakfast. It looks like rain.”And my personal favorite response:“It's just Monday.”She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.
    Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I'm going to”,“I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”
    When anyone calls my“seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.
    My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.
    Now go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to, not something on your SHOULD DO list.
    【小题1】The example of the writer's sister serves as__________.

    A．an argumentB．an introductionC．a supportD．a conclusion
    【小题2】The writer thinks that the underlined excuse “It's just Monday.”is acceptable, because __________.
    A．it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later
    B．it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses.
    C．it shows respect for the writer's suggestion
    D．it indicates the time when they can have lunch together
    【小题3】The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”.
    A．appropriateB．influentialC．practicalD．evident
    【小题4】What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?
    A．To suggest how time flies.
    B．To persuade busy people to relax.
    C．To advise people to keep their promise.

    Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

    First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

    Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

    The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.

    Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

    If you do not use your English beyond the classroom, you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.

    What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?

    A．To improve your reading.                 

    B．To improve your listening.

    C．To improve your spoken English.        

    D．To improve your vocabulary.

    It can be inferred from the third paragraph that______.

    A．don’t be fluency , Just be accuracy

    B．don’t be nervous ,don’t be shy . Just write!

    C．don’t be afraid of making mistakes . Just speak!

    D．don’t be shy ,don’t be fluency. Just listen and write!

    The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “_____”.

    A．more hurry, less speed             B．better late than never

    C．silence is gold                    D．practice makes perfect

    The text is most probably taken from a ______.

    A．teacher’s diary                     B．report on study     

    C．sports newspaper                 D．movie magazine
