15．It's not Christmas Day yet．But wherever I go on the streets，I see shops selling Christmas trees and all kinds of beautiful decorations，waiters wearing Christmas hats； I hear children singing Christmas songs on broadcast； I get messages of Christmas's best wishes from friends．
I just got quite confused again，since when have Chinese begun celebrating Christmas Day？What do these people celebrate it for，the birth of Chris？But we all know that most of Chinese are not Christians，they don't even know the origin of Christmas Day，and they celebrate it for no reason．
I don't celebrate Christmas Day or any other western holidays since I'm not a Christian and nor am I a westerner．I don't know what Christmas really means．Anyway I can't get reasonable answers from my friends．Some of them think they would like to just take this chance to enjoy themselves regardless of the meaning of the festival．Some of them think I'm an old-fashioned girl，a bigot who doesn't appreciate the spirit of Chinese cultural tolerance（寬容） and understanding of other cultures．Well，if it is about cultural tolerance，why don't we ever celebrate the month of Muharram，or festivals of colours in India，or Fiestas Patrias in Mexico？
I really appreciate cultural exchanges and communications with all nations，but I don't think this is what it's about．People are celebrating more and more western festivals while ignoring our traditional ones．
Is it part of globalization（全球化）？Do people in other non-western countries also celebrate Christmas？

24．It can be inferred from the passage that the writerD．
A．is an old-fashioned girl
B．doesn't like festivals at all
C．prefers western festivals to Chinese festivals
D．prefers Chinese festivals to western festivals
25．According to the writer，many Chinese people celebrate ChristmasA．
A．for no reason
B．for the birth of Chris
C．because most of them are Christians
D．because they don't like Chinese festivals
26．The underlined word"bigot"in Paragraph 3meansB．
A．a(chǎn) very brave person
B．a(chǎn) very stubborn person
C．a(chǎn) very careful person
D．a(chǎn) very popular person
27．We can learn from the passage thatA．
A．more and more Chinese people celebrate western festivals now
B．Chinese people pay enough attention to our own festivals
C．no Christmas celebration means one lacks cultural tolerance
D．the writer doesn't like cultural exchanges and communications with other countries．

分析 本文講述了越來越多的中國人過圣誕節(jié)的現(xiàn)象，而相比之下，作者更愿意過中國人自己的節(jié)日．

25．A細(xì)節(jié)理解題為本題主要考查點(diǎn)．根據(jù)文章第二段的描述，大部分中國人都不是基督教徒，他們在沒有任何理由的情況下過圣誕節(jié)．故選A．
26．B詞義猜測題為本題主要考查點(diǎn)．根據(jù)后面定語從句的解釋，a bigot 就是不欣賞和接受外國文化，B項(xiàng)中stubborn"固執(zhí)"與文章句意吻合，故選 B．
27．A判斷推理題為本題主要考查點(diǎn)．根據(jù)文章文章描述，越來越多的中國人過外國節(jié)日，B，C，D都可以根據(jù)文章描述排除掉，故選A．

6．Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change，and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life．
Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades．
"We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean，and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment．And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels．And we've been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean．"
Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased，more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean，affecting the chemical balance of the sea water，with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular．
"As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water，or seawater in this case，it forms a weak acid（酸），carbonic acid，"Dore explains．"And therefore，as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater，it drives the pH down，and makes it more acidic．"
The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts．
The effect was particular striking at about 250meters down，and again at 500meters．Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations．It could be that surface water picked up CO2and then moved to those depths．Or there could be a biological explanation．
"It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic．And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral．It's potentially catastrophic．"

72．What can be the best title of the passage？A
A．Sea Life Facing Danger         B．Climate Change Affecting Seawater
C．Oceans Becoming More Acidic    D．Scientist Researching Seawater
73．Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life？B
a．Sea life is endangered．
b．CO2 goes into the surface water．
c．The ocean chemistry is affected．
d．CO2 decreases the PH and makes the seawater more acidic．
e．CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up．
A．a(chǎn)→b→c→d→e  B．e→b→c→d→a  C．a(chǎn)→e→c→d→b  D．e→d→c→b→a
74．Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based onA．
A．his research and analysis
B．the expectation of other scientists
C．some former theory
D．a(chǎn) major cause of climate change
75．What does the passage want to tell us most？C
A．It takes time to make a scientific study．
B．Atmospheric CO2 is doing harm to sea life．
C．Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe．
D．Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist．

    The neighbor looked at Sharon，shock written all over her face．She gulped（哽住）a few times，and then，smiling，held out the bread，part of a batch she had shared all over the neighborhood．"I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread．I hope you like it．"
