Stu
24、dies by the Council of Europe, of which 21 countries are members, have shown that 45 per cent of reptile (爬行动物 ) species and 24 per cent of butterflies (蝴蝶 ) are in danger of dying out. European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr Peter Baum, an expert in the environment and natural resources di
25、vision of the council, when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park. The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the councils diploma (证书 ) for nature reserves (自然保护区 ) of the highest quality, and Dr Baum had come to present it to the park once again
26、. He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks, and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today. But Dr Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right. “No area
27、could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction,“ he went on. The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation (户外娱乐 ) should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the
28、 future. “We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems, on which any built-up area ultimately depends,“ Dr Baum went on. “We could manage without most industrial products, but we could not manage without nature. However, our natural environment areas, which are the original parts of our cou
29、ntryside, have shrunk (缩小 ) to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass.“ 31 Recent studies by the Council of Europe have indicated that （ A） Britain is the only country where wildlife needs more protection. （ B） all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out. （ C
30、） there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere. （ D） many species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protecting. 32 Why did Dr Baum come to a British national park? （ A） Because he needed to present it with a councils diploma. （ B） Because he was concerned abo
31、ut its management. （ C） Because it was the only national park of its kind in Europe. （ D） Because it had never before received a diploma from the Council. 33 The last sentence in the second paragraph implies that （ A） people should create more natural environment areas, （ B） people would go on prote
32、cting national parks, （ C） certain areas of countryside should be preserved. （ D） people should defend the right to live in a peaceful environment, 34 In Dr Baums opinion, the view that a nature reserve should serve as a tourist attraction is （ A） idealistic. （ B） revolutionary. （ C） short-sighted.
33、（ D） traditional. 35 Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph? （ A） We have developed industry at the expense of countryside. （ B） We have forgotten what our original countryside looked like. （ C） People living on islands should protect natural resources for their survival. （ D
34、） We should destroy all the built-up areas. 36 Home Heating Central heating became popular only after the Civil War. Typically, coal-burning furnaces (火炉 ) fueled the early systems. Natural gas had developed into the leading fuel by 1960. Its acceptance resulted in part from its wide uses. Because i
35、t comes primarily from U.S. and Canadian fields, natural gas is also less vulnerable (脆弱的 ) than oil is to war. Oil remains the most important fuel in a few areas, such as New England. Electric heating dominates most areas with mild winters and cheap electricity, including the South and the Northwes
36、t. It was made popular at least in the South by the Iow cost of adding electric heating to new houses built with air-conditioning. Bottled gas, which is somewhat more expensive than utility gas, is the fuel of choice in rural areas not served by utility pipelines. Wood is the leading heating fuel in
37、 just a few rural counties. Home heating, which accounts for less than 7 percent of all energy consumed in the U.S., has had a commendable (值得赞扬的 ) efficiency record: from 1978 to 1997, the amount of fuel consumed for this purpose declined 44 percent despite a 33 percent increase in the number of ho
38、using units and an increase in house size. The U. S. Department of Energy, however, forecasts that energy used in home heating will rise by 14 percent over the next two decades. That rise is small considering an expected 21 percent increase in the number of houses and the trend toward larger houses.
39、 Natural gas and electricity will probably dominate the home heating market for the next two decades. Solar (太阳的 ) heating never became popular because of cost and limited winter sunlight in most areas; in 2000 only 47, 000 homes relied on it. 36 Natural gas didnt become the leading fuel until （ A）
40、1978. （ B） 1960. （ C） 1997. （ D） 2000. 37 What fuel is the dominant fuel in New England? （ A） Gas. （ B） Electricity. （ C） Wood. （ D） Oil. 38 The word “consumed“ in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by （ A） used. （ B） burned. （ C） delivered. （ D） pumped. 39 According to paragraph 3, energy consumed
41、in home heating over the next two decades will increase by （ A） 33 percent. （ B） 31 percent. （ C） 21 percent. （ D） 14 percent. 40 Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the article? （ A） Natural gas comes partly from Canadian fields. （ B） Bottled gas is more expensive than utili
42、ty gas. （ C） Equipment for home heating has been considerably improved. （ D） Solar heating dominated America in 2000. 41 Sleepless at Night It was a normal summer night. Humidity (湿气 ) hung in the thick air. I couldnt go to sleep, partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for t
43、he next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise. Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, I gathered enough strength to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light. I couldnt stand the pressure
44、anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow. Back and forth, up and down. Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat, fr
45、ightened me as he meowed (喵喵地唱出 ) his sad song. He was on the old orange couch (长沙发 ), sitting up on his front legs, waiting for something to happen. He looked at me as if to say, Tm lonely, pet me. I need a good hug (紧抱 ).“ Even the couch begged me to sit on it. In one movement I settled down onto
46、the soft couch. This couch represented my parents marriage, my birth, and hundreds of other little events. As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was flooded with questions: Whats life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiators bod
47、y, I had a new thought; each touch sang a different song. I forgot all about the heat and the next days surprise. The atmosphere was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries slowly move away. 41 The author of the passa
