3.Seen from space the Earth is covered in a blue mantle.It is a planet on which the continents are dwarfed (相形見絀)by the oceans surrounding them and the vastness of the marine area.
An astonishing 80 percent of all the life on Earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean pulses around our world driving the natural forces which keep life on our planet.
The oceans provide necessary sources of protein,energy,minerals and other products of use the world over and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen,drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world,transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the Earth habitable.
Without the global ocean there would be no life on Earth.
It is seriously worrying,then,that we are damaging the oceans on a scale that is unimagnalbe  to most people.
We now know that human activity can have serious influences on the vital forces working-on our planet.We have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that.As yet largely unseen,but just as serious,are the influences we are having on ihe oceans.A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and strong and healthy habitats.the actual state of our oceans is a far cry from this natural level.
A large quantity of human pressures are being exerted both directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems the world over.Consequently ecosystems are collapsing as marine speciesare driven towards extinction and ocean habitats are destroyed.With the decrease and removement of their diversity,ocean ecosystems are losing their natural recovery.

59.The 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs are given mainly to describeD.
A.what the oceans look like 
B.what the oceans are made up of
C.what live in the oceans 
D.what functions the oceans have
60.The oceans provide all the following exceptC
A.various marine creatures 
B.rich living resources
C.a(chǎn)ll natural forces 
D.comfortable habitats for man
61.Man has not yet realizedA

B.that he has done harm to the planet 
C.that he has benefited from the oceans 
D.that he has benefited from the planet
62.The best title for this passage should beB
A.Protecting our planet 
B.Defending our oceans
C.Making good use of our oceans 
D.A glimpse of the oceans.

16.Teenage boys,regardless of race,are more likely to die from gunshot wounds than from all natural causes combined,
By the time the average American child leaves primary school,he or she will witness 8,000 murders and more than 100,000 acts of violence on televisionYouth are becoming involved in violence at an alarming rate. In fact,the young arrest rate for murder doubled,from 6 arrests per 100,000 youth aged from 10 to 17 to over 12 per 100,000For the many youth who have not been directly exposed to violence in their own communities,the entertainment media (television,movies,music and video games) provides many opportunities for children to see and hear violent exchanges. Research shows that there are about 5~6 violent acts per hour on prime time and 20~25 violent acts on Saturday morning  children's programming. In its report,the American Psychological Association (APA) reported that viewing violence on television hurts children in many ways. In particular,the APA  concludes that children may become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others,be more  fearful of the world around them,be more likely to behave in aggressive or harmful ways toward others,and gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems.
Another form of violence involving youth is physical punishment in the schools. This form of discipline (紀(jì)律) still remains legally supported in 23 nations in America. The Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Education reported that 555,000 students were physically punished in the schools during this school year. Although such punishment has been regarded as an effective method of discipline by those who apply it,the findings are obvious that physical punishment does not work and that children who are victims of physical punishment are subject to potential long-term physical and emotional damage.
64. According to the passage,the American teenage boys'lives are most threatened byA
A. gun murders 
B. natural diseases
C. TV violence                 
D. physical punishment
65. We can learn from Paragraph 4 thatD
A. many youth have watched much violence on TV
B. youth violence in Washington IX; is very serious
C. fights may be the most widely-seen youth violence
D. American youth have been exposed to much violence
66. The APA indicates that too much TV violence may change childrenB
A. to become separated from the world 
B. to remain unconcerned about others'pain
C. to solve problems only by violence 
D. to be fearful of aggressive behaviors
67. The author may most probably agree that physical punishment isC
A. acceptable,though ineffective          
B. illegal,though effective
C. harmful,though legal                 
D. reasonable,though illegal.

11.New York times,Nov,24,2011-It is not just any bug,but the native nine-spotted ladybug.And its reappearance is something of a relief,because it is the official New York State insect,even though the last recorded sighting of it in New York was 29years ago.
Its absence had not gone completely unnoticed.There was a moment in 2006when the State Assembly,realizing that the state insect had left the state,tried to replace it with a different species of ladybug,an attempt that fortunately gave in to law.
And now-after all these years-the state insect has been found.Like so many other New Yorkers,it was seen summering in Amagansett.Peter Priolo,a volunteer participant in an effort called the Lost Ladybug Project,found the ladybug on July 30in a patch of sunflowers during a group search he had organized.
"I didn't realize it was a nine-spotted when I found it,"Mr.Priolo said.He was on his way to do an end-of-the-day ladybug record,so,he said,"I put it in my jar and hurried back to meet with everybody."
If the ladybugs are making a comeback,it is only beginning.The lost Ladybug Project started surveys in 2000.As of 2006,only five nene-spotted ladybugs had been found in North America in the previous 10years,none of them in the East.Then one lone ladybug was found in Arlington,Va.None had been found in the East since,and only 90have been reported in North America.
After scientists at Cornell confirmed Mr.Priolo's find,they went to the Amagansett farm in mid-August to lead a search that turned up about 20more of the bugs.An area between rows of carrots and beans turned out to be a hot spot."We found a lot of them on cosmos and zinnias,"said Dr.Losey said,an insect expert.The farm is part of the 10,000-acre Peconic Land Trust in Amagansett,and it is organic.For ladybugs,Dr.Losey said,"you couldn't design a better place."
Dr.Losey wants to find out if it makes sense to reintroduce this strain of the ladybug in other areas.And he expects volunteers to be back out in the field when ladybug season starts again in the spring.Now,he said,"we need to find out more places where there are just as many."

49.The last time the New Yorkers saw their state insect inD.
A.2000   B.2006   C.1998   D.1982
50.The New Yorkers are so delighted to see the insect becauseC.
A.it has some bright spots on its back
B.it is the official insect of the city
C.it had been out of sight for quite some time
D.it is a new species unknown to New York
51.What does the second paragraph of the passage imply?A
A.It's against the law to bring new insects to New York.
B.The State Assembly don't like to live with Ladybugs.
C.The absence of the state insect had never been known.
D.The state insect had to leave because of a new species.
52.From the last two paragraphs we know thatB.
A.only some insect experts are really interested in ladybugs
B.Dr Losey is quite confident about the future of the insect
C.most ladybugs have m moved to live in the down area
D.more vegetables will be grown to welcome the state insect.

8.American this year will swallow 15,000 tons of aspirin,one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man.The most popular medicine in the world today,it is an effective pain reliever.Its bad effects are relatively mild and it is cheap.
For millions of people suffering from arthritis(關(guān)節(jié)炎).It is the only thing that works.Aspirin,in short,is truly the 20th-century wonder drug.It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children.It has side effects that,although relatively mild,are largely unrecognized among users.
Although aspirin was at first sold by a German company in1899,it has been around much longer than that.Hippocrates,in ancient Greek,understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates(水楊酸堿),the chemical in aspirin.During the 19th century,there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical,and it led to the introduction of aspirin.By 1915,aspirin tablets were available in the United States.
A small quantity of aspirin (two-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation.It also reduces fever by interfering with(干預(yù)) some of the body's reactions.

41.The passage is written toC.
A.suggests us using more aspirin         B.reminds us of the side effects of aspirin
C.gives us a whole view of aspirin       D.discusses the good effects of aspirin
42.According to the author,aspirinC.
A.is very safe                          B.first appeared in 1899
C.can be harmful to children            D.can hardly be dangerous
43.Generally speaking,the author seems to beA.
A.in favour of aspirin                    B.a(chǎn)gainst the use of aspirin
C.not interested in aspirin               D.careful in using aspirin
44.What is the best title for this passage?C
A.How to Use Aspirin                   B.Why I Take Aspirin
C.The Most Popular Medicine            D.The Side Effects of Aspirin.
