10.The truth(41)thattrees are vital to our life is not a secret.They provide us with food,wood and most (42)importantly(important),oxygen.Now there is one more thing we can add to this list-blocking out harmful bacteria from water.
The discovery(43)was made(make) by a team (44)consisting(consist) of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and high school students(45)who were seeking a natural water filter-one that would help communities in developing countries that do not have (46)acess(accessible) to modern water filter systems.
The(47)researchers(research),led by Professor Rohit Karnik,decided to turn to trees for help because they could allow liquid to flow through,while blocking out air bubbles.
They began by cutting 1.5-inch-wide sections of tree bark from the branches of a white pine tree.The people related then tested the wood's filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles of different sizes through.(48)Totheir amazement,they found that it was effective in trapping all the articles.(49)Encouraged(encourage),the team conducted(50)anotherexperiment,this time with water that contained bacteria.Sure enough,the sapwood held back 99% of the bacteria,allowing only 1% to flow through.

7.How has smoking been controlled in recent years?
People were asked to stop smoking in a range of public places-such as doctors'surgeries,cinemas,theatres and churches-over the second half of the 20th century but it was after the King's Cross Underground fire on November 18,1987,caused by a cigarette end which resulted in 31deaths,that restrictions on smoking in public places gained rapid and widespread acceptance.
How did a ban on smoking in public places come into place?
In 1998the Smoking Kills White Paper set out a national strategy to reduce smoking prevalence (流行) and passive smoking,including in public places.The measures were voluntary and poorly carried out.After a public conference in England in 2004,the Government decided to choose for lawmaking.Scotland went first,with a ban in 2006,followed by the other nations a year later.
What is the current law?
Any person who smokes in enclosed public places,including pubs,offices,on public transport and work vehicles,is breaking the law.It does not extend to private houses.It is also an offence for people in charge of premises (營(yíng)業(yè)場(chǎng)所) to permit others to smoke in them.
How was it received?
It was welcomed by most organizations-except for some pub owners and restaurateurs.Many workplaces in the UK had already introduced smoke-free policies consistent with the legislation (法律,法規(guī)) before it was carried out,while others have gone beyond its basic requirements.
All railway facilities,including platforms,footbridges and other areas-whether or not fitting the definition of an enclosed public space-are covered,as are all football grounds and some cricket and athletics stadiums.School grounds are not required to be smoke-free under the legislation,but the majority now are.
How has it been forced?
Compliance (服從) in public premises has been high,with inspections suggesting that 99per cent of places were sticking to the rules.The number of people charged for smoking in cars has been very low,which was due to the problems defining and identifying"work"vehicles.They said that a total ban on smoking in vehicles would end this confusion.
Has it improved health?
Studies in early adopters of the law,including in Scotland,suggest a reduction in hospital admissions for heart disease,which has been shown to be linked to passive smoking.There is also strong evidence of improved rates of smoking end and a drop in the number of cigarettes consumed by those who continue to smoke.

63.When did the first law come out to ban smoking in public places?D
A.1987.           B.1998.
C.2004.           D.2006.
64.Which of the following behaviors may NOT be against the law?C
A.Jack often smokes in the office when he is alone.
B.A taxi driver is smoking with a lady in his car.
C.Tom smokes while thinking of his future at home.
D.Max smokes for relaxation during time-out in the stadium.
65.Who might feel unhappy about the law according to the article?A
A.A restaurant owner.          B.A company manager.
C.A car owner.                  D.A policy maker.
66.What can you infer from the article?B
A.Most heart diseases have been proved to be linked to passive smoking.
B.A new law will soon come out with a total ban on smoking in vehicles.
C.The 1987fire has convinced more people that smoking is bad for health.
D.Most of the school grounds are not smoke-free,as it is not banned in the law.

2.Friday,December 30,2011 has been cut for the tiny South Pacific island nation,Samoa as it moved its time zone 24 hours ahead to catch up with Asia,New Zealand and Australia. On New Year's Eve,Samoa will Slave jumped to the west of the international dateline,which runs through the Pacific Ocean and broadly follows the 180 degree line of longitude (經(jīng)線).
Its Prime Minister said it would make it easier for Samoa to trade with their key partners."No longer shall we have people ringing us up on Monday from New Zealand and Australia thinking it is Monday when we are closing our eyes and praying at churches.And in the same way,on our Fridays when we ring up and already our contacts are holidaying on their Saturdays,"he told Radio New Zealand on Friday.
To help win public support,the government declared employers must still pay workers for the missing Friday,although banks will not be allowed to charge interest for the lost day.
Countries are free to choose whether the dateline passes to the east or west,and Samoa's decision means all new maps will need to change.But some tourism operators are worried Samoa will lose business by losing its position as the last place on earth to see the sunset each day,although it is now one of the first places to see in each new day.
Samoa,a country of about 180,000 people,used to be in the same time zone as New Zealand and Australia,but went back a day in 1892,celebrating July 4 twice and aligning itself with the United States.The date change is not the first major change in Samoa in recent years.In 2009,the country switched to driving on the left hand side of the road from the right hand side,in line with New Zealand and Australia.

   A.trade with the United States
    B.be the first place to see in each new day
    C.follow the international dateline
    D.be in the same time zone as Australia

    B.Samoa once had a date change about 200 years ago.
    C.Samoa and America are now in the same time zone.
    D.In Samoa,cars move on the right hand side of the road.
73.On the missing Friday,___ in Samoa,C
    A.banks still charged interest      B.a(chǎn)ll the people had a day off
    C.workers still got paid            D.a(chǎn)ll celebrated New Year's Eve
74.The underlined word"aligning"in the last paragraph possibly meansB.
    A.celebrating     B.a(chǎn)djusting        C.moving           D.trading
75.What's the text mainly about?D
    A.The change of international dateline.
    B.The first nation to greet New Year.
    C.A new neighbor of Australia.
