9．Cold-Hearted Youth
Laughter is a great thing．It has been proven to be physically and mentally effective on people（71）C．The reason for this is that people are laughing at the wrong things，particularly the youth．They find humor in things that people wouldn't have generally found funny in the past．More and more young people respond to negative situations with laughter．Their responses to negative situations are becoming increasingly worrying，and this needs to be addressed．
（72）A  You can find hundreds of clips showing people falling off from things or getting hurt so badly that they break bones or suffer major injuries．Unfortunately，not rushing to their aid or calling an ambulance，they double over in laughter．
To make matters worse，many teens laugh not just at physical accidents； they are also failing to take important topics seriously，such as the government or the state of our world．Children and teens nowadays show alarming indifference and insensitivity toward things that should arouse serious thought and emotion．（73）G The sad thing is，it's not their fault．
Teaching youth that violence is okay and entertaining，or teaching them that the state of our world is not a big deal is telling them not to be caring and concerned．They are the next generation，and they're not going to be able to contribute to be world if important issues do not matter to them anymore．（74）E．
As a whole，society needs to concentrate on bringing back natural human emotion and easing up on the confirmation of indifference，violence，and carelessness．（75）D．

A．Search online for videos of some accidents．
B．Don't try to laugh by putting someone else down．
C．However，laughter can be bad，and is increasingly becoming so．
D．We are humans，not cold machines，and we need to start acting that way．
E．How can they help others when they don't take their physical or emotional pain seriously？
F．The fact that the youth are always laughing at the wrong things have nothing to with education．
G．I believe youth are laughing at serious subjects because they think important topics don't matter to them anymore．

分析 本文為社會文化類的論說文，文章分析了年輕人中存在的無情的現(xiàn)象，越來越多的年輕人對消極的情形采取嘲笑的態(tài)度，這在過去是很罕見的．從網(wǎng)上我們可以搜索到很多事故視頻，視頻中人們不是把受傷的人者送往醫(yī)院，而是嘲笑．更糟糕的是，他們不能嚴(yán)肅對待一些重要的事件；教育孩子們暴力沒關(guān)系或者是娛樂的、或者教育孩子們我們的世界的現(xiàn)在無關(guān)緊要事實(shí)上是告訴他們不要關(guān)心和關(guān)注；那么他們就不會為世界做貢獻(xiàn)．總體來說，我們社會要關(guān)注于找回人類的積極情感，減少冷漠、暴力和粗心．

解答 71-75 CAGED
71．C．本題是邏輯推斷題．上文分析"Laughter is a great thing．"，下文分析存在的問題，可見上下文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系，故答案選擇C．
72．A．細(xì)節(jié)推斷題．由該段描述了很多人跌倒受傷的片段和人們的反應(yīng)，推斷需要在網(wǎng)上搜索相關(guān)的事故視頻，故答案選擇A．
73．G．邏輯推斷題．由上文現(xiàn)象"Children and teens nowadays show alarming indifference and insensitivity toward things that should arouse serious thought and emotion．"可知，孩子們和青少年對一些嚴(yán)肅的事和情感采取漠不關(guān)心或不敏感的態(tài)度，承接上文，需要分析對嚴(yán)肅的話題采取嘲笑的態(tài)度的原因，故答案選擇G．
74．E．細(xì)節(jié)推斷題．上文"They are the next generation，and they're not going to be able to contribute to be world if important issues do not matter to them anymore．（他們是下一代，如果重要的事件對他們無關(guān)緊要，他們就不能對世界做貢獻(xiàn)）"分析的是這種現(xiàn)象的危害之一，下文繼續(xù)分析危害"如果年輕人不關(guān)心他人的身體和情感怎么會幫助他人呢？"，故答案選擇E．
75．D．主旨大意題．文章分析了年輕人的冷漠的現(xiàn)象和危害，聯(lián)系文章標(biāo)題"Cold-hearted youth"，最后自然得出結(jié)論，我們是人，不是無情的機(jī)器；我們的行為不能冷漠；故答案選擇D．

點(diǎn)評 七選五的做題首先要通讀全文，了解文章大意．通讀答案，找出相對應(yīng)的關(guān)鍵詞．根據(jù)文章整體結(jié)構(gòu)，具體內(nèi)容和上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，將選項(xiàng)填入文中．

6．LONDON：What could possibly be wrong with planting trees？The benefits are obvious； they  firm the soil，soak up （攝�。� extra water and take carbon dioxide （二氧化碳） our of the atmosphere．
However，it now turns out that planting trees could add to global warming．
Tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the wind's power．The problem is that some of those dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide．
Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia．Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface．The dust fuels oceanic life．
Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean．If a tree-planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced，the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets locked away in the ocean．
Andy Ridgwell，an environmental scientist from the University of East Anglia，has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work"shows clearly that the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering（粗劣地修補(bǔ)） with it without understanding the results．For this reason the need is to focus（集中） on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying （瞎弄） about with the land surface．"
An American scientist，Robert Jackson，has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded（侵入） by trees，carbon is lost from the soil．"We are studying why the soil carbon disappears，but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grasses，so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees，"says Jackson．
In wet areas of the world，the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed（超過） by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground．Countries that plan to combat global warming by planting trees may have to think again．
Solutions to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear，and understanding the Earth's climate is a very great challenge．
63．People usually hold the opinion thatC．
A．huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide
B．huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earth
C．huge dust storms can't do anything beneficial for man
D．planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms
64．Andy Ridgwell，the environmental scientist，believes thatD．
A．dust plays a more important part than trees
B．trees should't have been planted in dry places
C．carbon dioxide is harmful to everything on the earth
D．environmental problems are more complex than expected
65．Robert Jackson's experiment proves thatB．
A．grassland areas should be covered by forests
B．trees hold more carbon than grasses
C．carbon can turn grass into dust
D．less carbon can make trees grow faster
66．The underlined word"combat"in the last paragraph meansB．
A．learn about            
B．fight against          
C．live with                  
D．give up．

14．Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother．（32）Expecting（Expect） a whole day to relax，he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months．"This will be （33）like a walk in the park，"he'd told his wife．"I'll look after the kids，and you can go visit your mom．"
Things started well，but just after eight o'clock，his three little"good kids"-Mike，Randy，and Alex-came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted"breakfast，daddy．"When food had not appeared within thirty seconds，Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head （34）as if it were a drum．Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat．Mike chanted"Where's my toast，where's my toast"in the background．Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds．
Life became worse after breakfast．Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head．Randy locked （35）himself in the bathroom，while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants．Nobody could find clean socks，（36）though/although they were before their very eyes．Someone （37）named（name）"Not Me"had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes．Brad knew the talk show had already started．
By ten o'clock，things were out of control．Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter．Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils．Randy，thankfully，appeared （38）to be drawing（draw） a picture quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands．Brad realized that the talk show was over and （39）reading（read） would be impossible．
At exactly 11：17，Brad called the daycare centre．"I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away．（40）May/Can/Could/Shall I bring the boys over in a few minutes？"The answer was obviously"yes"because Brad was smiling．

1．The towers，called the Bosco Verticale，are under construction in Milan．Towering over the city skyline，these are the world'S first forest in the sky apartments．
With trees equal to 10，000 square meters of forest covering 27 floors，the twin towers will be home to an astonishing 730 trees，5，000 bushes and 11，000 ground plants．
Michele Brunello，director of Boeri Studios，explained，"The idea of a vertical forest came when we were involved in a local tree planting project．We imagined the building that allowed the landscape（景觀）to enter it．"
Brunello'S concept is designed to save on land，which is a precious resource in the centre of a major city．"We can provide the quality of life of expensive housing without consuming the resources that conventional housing would demand．"he said．
Bosco Verticale has been designed as a home to a variety of plants，which planners hope will act as a filter（過濾器）to pollution from traffic，shade people from the sun and will change its appearance each season．
"People live with the trees but they don't own them-they are communal，"said Brunello．"All the plants have been picked by the designers to be suitable to the height and correct side of the building．So the people aren't just choosing an apartment based on the size and view，but also they need to consider which trees and plants they will be living with．"
Safety is also a major factor．If a tree Was blown down in the wind from a great height，this could be a huge problem．So we tested various trees to make sure we had the right ones．
When the sky forest is completed by the end of 2012，the structure will house the same amount of people as 50，000 square meters of conventional urban area．What'S more，it will be home to insects，birds and animals that usually live in the parks of Milan．
61．By saying"allowed the landscape to enter it"Brunello means thatC．
A．trees will be planted inside the building
B．the towers are part of the tree planting project
C．the landscape of trees and plants is part of the towers
D．the landscape of trees can be moved into the building freely
62．What does the underlined word"communal"probably mean？B
A．Expensive．    B．Public．    C．Dangerous．     D．Unaffordable．
63．Which of the following may not be considered when buying an apartment in Bosco Verticale？D
A．The size of the apartment．
B．The view of the apartment．
C．The different trees on the towers．
D．The amount of birds living with the trees．
64．Which isn't the benefit that the Bosco Verticale can bring to Milan？B
A．Cleaning the polluted air by traffic．
B．Lowering the conventional houses'price．
C．Changing its appearance with seasons．
D．Shading people from the sun．
65．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？D
A．Brunello creates a special park   
B．Bosco Verticale consumes less land
C．Italy will plant a variety oftrees  
D．Milan constructs towers of trees．

18．In a natural disaster-a hurricane，flood，volcanic eruption，or other catastrophes-minutes and even seconds of warning can make the difference between life and death．Because of this，scientists are working to use the latest technological advances to predict when and where disasters will happen．They are also studying how best to analyze and communicate this information once it is obtained．
On September 29，1998，Hurricane Georges made landfall in Biloxi，Mississippi，after damaging Haiti，the Dominican Republic，Puerto Rico，and several islands of the Caribbean badly with torrential rains and winds up to 160km per hour．Few people lost their lives along the Gulf Coast of the United States，although hundreds died in the Caribbean．
This was a very different outcome from 1900，when a powerful Gulf Coast hurricane made an unexpected direct hit on Galveston，Texas，killing at least 6，000people．
Vastly improved hurricane warnings explain the different circumstances at either end of the 20th century--residents of Galveston had no advance warning that a storm was approaching，while residents of Biloxi had been warned days in advance，allowing for extensive safety precautions （預(yù)防）．
At the same time that people in Biloxi were thankful for the advance warning，some residents of New Orleans，Louisiana were less satisfied．A day before Georges made landfall，forecasters were predicting that the hurricane had a good chance of striking New Orleans．Because much of New Orleans lies below sea level，the city is at risk for flooding．Emergency management officials must begin evacuations （疏散）well before a storm strikes．But evacuation costs money：businesses close，tourists leave，and citizens take precautionary measures．The mayor of New Orleans estimated that his city's preparations for Georges cost more than 50million．After Georges missed New Orleans，some residents questioned the value of the hurricane forecasts in the face of such high costs．
The different views on the early warnings for Hurricane Georges show some of the complexities related to predicting disasters．Disaster prediction is a process of providing scientific information to the government officials and other decision makers who must respond to those predictions．

67．What is the purpose of disaster prediction according to the passage？B
A．To identify the cause of disasters．
B．To save people's lives and property．
C．To prevent natural disasters from happening，
D．To apply advanced technology to disaster prediction．
68．Which of the following areas suffered the most severe damage？D
A．Puerto Rico．                     B．New Orleans．
C．Biloxi，Mississippi．             D．Galveston，Texas．
69．The city residents of New Orleans were unsatisfied becauseA_．
A．their preparations were made in vain
B．the hurricane warning arrived rather late
C．the forecast hurricane did not hit the city
D．they suffered from a heavy hurricane attack
70．What does the passage mainly talk about？D
A．The different ways of disaster prediction．
B．Technological advances in disaster prediction．
C．The benefits and preparations of disaster prediction．
D．The importance and uncertainty of disaster prediction．
