请根据下面短文回答第下列各题: Temperatures(温度)around the world are going up year after year. A report shows that the ten wan nest years since 1860 all happened after 1987. Of those ten, nine happened after 1990. There port also says the increase(上升) in temperature over the past 25 years is greater than that over the past 1,000 years. Ken Davidson, a world-famous scientist, agrees with the scientific findings that global (全球的) warming is happening just because of what people do on the earth. He says one of the most important reasons for the higher temperatures is the fact that cities are getting bigger and bigger. Studies show that cities are hotter than other places. Reports Show that many places around the world have had unusual weather in the past few years because of global warming. Most of Asia, for example, is warmer than before, and in India hundreds of people have even died from the hot and dry weather each year. Parts of Africa have of-ten had unusually heavy rains while other parts of Africa have had unusually dry weather. In parts of Europe, more than 100 people died from heavy rainfall in September 2002. Yet large parts of North and South America had very dry weather in the same year. What is the text about?
A.Big cities.
B.Global warming.
C.A famous scientist.

听力原文:M Hello, can I help you find something today?
W Well, I'm not sure. I'm looking to buy a new washing machine and don't know much about them. I was looking at this front-loading one, but never used one like this before. Could you tell me about it?
M Sure, front-loading washing machines are better for your clothes than those that
load from the top. Plus they use about 60 percent less energy, and because the
spin cycle is more efficient, your clothes will dry faster.
W Wow, I never knew that. What other front-loading washing machines are available?
What appliance does the woman want to buy?
A.A freezer
B.A dishwasher
C.A refrigerator
D.A washing machine

The so-called cloud forests of Monteverde lie along the crest of Costa Rica's Cordillera de Tilaran mountains. These habitats rely on the almost perpetual fog that forms as moisture-laden Caribbean winds rise up the eastern slopes of the mountains and pass through altitudes at which clouds condense, says Robert O. Lawton, an ecologist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The humidity in those breezes is enhanced by moisture expelled from the leaves of lowland forests.
By the early 1990s, more than a century of deforestation had left only 18% of the Costa Rican lowland forests east of the peaks untouched. The pastures that replaced forests don't humidify the winds as well as forests do and are better at warming the atmosphere. As a result, the winds off these pastures must rise further up the Cordillera de Tilaran slopes before clouds condense.
Satellite photos of the lowlands in the dry season show that clouds are absent or sparse over deforested areas but are thicker over the forests of neighboring Nicaragua. Computer simulations of day-time cloud formation in the area support these observations, Lawton notes, and they also suggest that the altitude of the cloud base would rise about 200m above today's height if the lowlands were completely deforested. Lawton and his colleagues report their result in Science magazine.
The gradual shifting of bird ranges upslope and a recent population crash among frogs and toads in the Monteverde cloud forest suggest that the veil of clouds may be lifting. Scientists had already blamed the rise of the cloud base for the longer periods of mistfree conditions observed at the downwind edge of the forest. Lawton warns that in the future, the clouds may disappear from the Monteverde slopes for days at a time during the dry season -- a development that could lead to collapse of the ecosystems there.
The passage mainly discusses ______.
A.large-scale deforestation and the climate changes
B.ecosystems in the eastern lowlands
C.the cloud forests of Monterverde
D.Caribbean winds

Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per hour. Petroleum products are always measured in 42-gallon barrels.
Petroleum products vary greatly on physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent or opaque, but regardless, their chemical composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons. Other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities'. Trace elements are also found, but these are of such minute quantities that they are disregarded. The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible because of the various positions and joining of these two atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule.
The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing the vapors. These products are the so-called light oils, such as gasoline, kerosene, and distillate fuel oil and is used mostly for burning under boilers. Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure of the hydrocarbons to produce other products, some of which are used to upgrade and increase the octane rating of various types of gasoline.

Natural Resources
Throughout history, people have often selected where they want to live based on the natural resources that are available in the area.26 Some of these resources include water, food sources such as fruits and vegetables, and animals that can be caught or hunted.
A region’s natural resources determine the way of life of its people.27 |On the other hand,poor soil will either send people looking for better places, or attract people with other purposes for the land, such as setting up businesses or factories.
28 People who wish to make a living as fishermen can do so by the pcean, but cannot do so in the desert.Desert people have many traditional and |mique foods, which cannot be found in the forest.Each area attracts people based on their interests and purposes.
Areas that have rich water resources will naturally have more people, frraditionally, villages,towns and cities built near water have been the most luccessful.People there are able to use the water resources to meet their daily lieeds.29 Places that are hard to reach,such as high mountains or dry Beserts, will have fewer people living in them.
30 For too long, people have destroyed natural resources, using up those [resources that cannot be easily replaced.On the earth, we are lucky to have many resources that are renewable, such as sun, wind, water, and trees.As more and more focus is placed on the use of renewable resources, it will become easier to |>rotect our planet from further harm.
A.It is easy to find new resources in nature.
B .Renewable resources are those that can be replaced easily.
c.While you may not think of oceans as natural resources, they are.
D .for example, regions with rich soil can support fanning societies.
E .They can also use the water to help them move goods to other areas.
F.Natural resources are useful to people, and they come from the earth.

听力原文: One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own lifestyles. In more traditional societies, when children grow up,. they are expected to live in the same area as their parent, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry--or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the diversion between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society, the knowledge of a lifetime may become dated overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.

听力原文: When he first heard the news on the radio, Charles could hardly believe it. He had been told by some friends to expect what happened, but still, he just couldn't accept it. He had spent too many years perfecting his trade to think that the time would come when machines would replace him and his skills.
That was the news that struck his ears early on that morning five months ago when the announcement came. The company was going to install machines and save thousands of dollars in production costs. Unfortunately, for Charles it meant that his job was going to be abolished.
At first he had thought it was humiliating to be replaced by a machine. But, now, months later, he felt relieved that his skills were not lost, but, instead, valuable enough to be placed in a computer! Those skills were still producing useful products for people, and now his job was to supervise rather than do the work himself.
Charles had, as they say, "moved up in the world". He was no longer a worker; he was a manager!

A.The news that machines would replace him and his skills.
B.The news that he had to learn new skills.
C.The news that the company was going to reduce the number of machines.
D.The news that he was no longer a worker.
