10、oing at all times. Not even for moment can they be unprotected against the below-zero temperature.Men have a way of providing for themselves.

11、Do we find plants? Do we find life in the Arctic and the Antarctica? Yes, we do. There is life in the oceans. There is life on land.Antarctica, as we have seen, is a cold place indeed.

19、uclear fuel and high-level nuclear waste. In an article in the July 10 issue of Science, University of Michigan geologist Rodney Ewing and Princeton University nuclear physicist Frank yon Hippel argue that, although federal agencies should set standards and issue licenses for the approval of nuclear

20、 facilities, local communities and states should have the final approval on the siting of these facilities. The authors propose the development of multiple sites that would service the regions where nuclear reactors are located.“The main goal., should be to provide the Unied States with multiple alt

21、ernatives and substantial public involvement in an open siting and design process that requires acceptance by host communities and states,“ the authors write.Ewing and yon Hippel also analyze the reasons why Yucca Mountain, selected by Congress in 1987 as the only site to be investigated for long-te

22、rm nuclear waste disposal, finally was shelved after more than three decades of often controversial debate. The reasons include the sites geological problems, management problems, important changes in the Environmental Protection Agencys standard, unreliable funding and the failure to involve local

23、communities in the decision-making process.Going forward, efforts should be directed at locating storage facilities in the nations northeastern, southeastern, mid-western and western regions, and states within a given region should be responsible for developing solutions that suit their particular c

24、ircumstances. Transportation of nuclear waste over long distances, which was a concern with the Yucca Mountain site, would be less of a problem because temporary storage or geological disposal sites could be located closer to reactors.“This regional approach would be similar to the current approach

25、in Europe, where spent nuclear fuel and high-level nuclear waste from about 150 reactors and reprocessing plants is to be moved to a number of geological repositories in a variety of rock types,“ said Rodney Ewing, who has written extensively about the impact of nuclear waste management on the envir

32、5.00)The Problem Brought By Increasing PopulationA very important world problem is the increasing number of people who actually inhabit this planet. The limited amount of land and land resources will soon be unable to support the huge population if it continues to grow at its present rate.So why is

33、this huge increase in population taking place? It is really due to the spread of the knowledge and practice of what is becoming known as “Death Control“. You have no doubt heard of the term “Birth Control“. “Death Control“ is something rather different. It recognizes the work of the doctors and scie

34、ntists who now keep alive people who, not very long ago, would have died of a variety of then incurable diseases. Through a wide variety of technological innovations that include farming methods and the control of deadly diseases, we have found ways to reduce the rate at which we die. However, this

35、success is the very cause of the greatest threat to mankind.If we examine the amount of land available for this ever-increasing population, we begin to see the problem. If everyone on the planet had an equal share of land, we would each have about 50,000 square meters. This figure seems to be quite

36、encouraging until we examine the amount of usable land we actually have. More than three fifths of the worlds land cannot produce food.Obviously, with so little land to support us, we should be taking great care not to reduce it further. But we are not! Instead, we are consuming its “capitalits nonr

37、enewable fossil fuels and other mineral deposits that took millions of years to form but which are now being destroyed in decades. We are also doing the same with other vital resources not usually thought of as being nonrenewable such as fertile soils, groundwater and the millions of other species t

38、hat share the earth with us.It is a very common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction. This is not true. The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effec

39、t they have on nature. Developing countries do have an effect on their environment, but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole.（分数：15.00）(1).According to the article, what contributes to the population increase?（分数：3.00）A.Birth explosion.B.Bi

40、rth Control.C.Technological innovations.D.Death Control.(2).The word “incurable“ in Paragraph 2 means _.（分数：3.00）A.commonB.epidemicC.unknownD.untreatable(3).There isnt enough land to support human being because _.（分数：3.00）A.most of the worlds land is unusableB.there are more seas than land in the wo

41、rldC.the worlds land has already been taken upD.the worlds land is not distributed equally(4).In Paragraph 4 the writer implies that fertile soils are _.（分数：3.00）A.limitedB.renewableC.nonrenewableD.productive(5).What does “to limit their reproduction“ in the last paragraph mean?（分数：3.00）A.To control

42、 deathB.To produce less goodsC.To practice birth controlD.To increase七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Wealth, Only Belonging to One GenerationThe rich have traditionally passed their wealth on to their children. But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children t

43、o live on themselves and not to turn into spoiled successors.Nicola Horlick or “supermum“, a famous British billionaire, owing to the fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids, has spent her career making a reported 250m pounds. She now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She alr

44、eady gives away about 25% of her income each year; she has just revealed, in a report on the state of charity in the city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children. “I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children,“ Horlick told the reports authors. “I wil

45、l not be leaving all my wealth to my children because that would just ruin their lives.“ She is by no means the first to go public with this conviction.Bill Gates has put an estimated $30billion into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2009, by another $24bn or so from h

46、is friend Warren Buffett. Buffett has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a story of finding herself without change for a car parking ticket-her father lent her $20, then promptly made her write him a check. “To suggest that the children of the wealthy s

47、hould be just as wealthy,“ he has said, “is like saying the members of Americas 2004 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team.“Anita Roddick, the late founder of the Body Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that she made from the c

48、ompany would go into the Body Shop Foundation, which isnt one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away.（分数：15.00）(1).The billionaires mentioned in the passage dont want to leave much of their wealth to their children because _.（分数：3.00）A

49、they prefer to give their wealth to charityB.they want their business to go on healthilyC.they believe too much wealth will harm their childrenD.they hope their children can make more money themselves(2).What do we learn about Nicola Horlick?（分数：3.00）A.She has already given away about 25% of her wealth.B.She is the first one who declares to
