Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 Many people use wood stoves and
8、fireplaces to heat their homes. Scientists have become worried about the smoke that they give off. Harmful chemicals are in the smoke. The smoke is causing air pollution. The pieces of pollution, called soot, are floating in the air. They are too tiny to see. Scientists must use a microscope to see
9、them.Small amounts of soot are safe, but large amounts can be dangerous. The government wants to limit this kind of pollution. It may stop people from using their fireplaces.The air is tested every day. When soot levels are high, more than 65 micrograms of soot per cubic meter, factories must stop m
10、aking smoke. The government thinks that limit should be much lower.Factories produce the most smoke and soot. But the government thinks that all types of burning should be limited. The soot levels from factories and homes could be limited. Home owners may have to install new wood stoves that they co
11、mply with the new law. Or, they may not be able to burn on days when the air quality is bad.Residents of some towns are fined if they violate the burning ban. Scientists hope these new regulations will make the air cleaner and less harmful to breathe.21 Why is it dangerous to burn too much wood?（A）T

It has very little oxygen and water, the temperature at night is below 50Cand winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust sto
15、rms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some
16、 form of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes; the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists.Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right
17、 conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Suns heat in the planets atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳 ), simple plants could begin to grow. These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. It is esti
18、mated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there.25 Some scient

29、 organization concluded an average two-parent family with one employed adult in California needs to make $51,177 a year, or $24.60 cents an hour, to pay for housing, transportation, food, utilities, child care, health coverage, taxes and other basic expenses.The number grows significantly higher in
30、the Bay Area, the states most expensive region. A Bay Area family of four with two working adults living in rental housing needs a combined income of $79,946 to cover essential needs.

36、mping in front of trains. They are fitting blue lights on station platforms to try and create a more calming atmosphere. The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $170,000 to install the lights in all of the 29 stations on the capitals busy Yamanote Line. There has been an alarming rise in
37、the number of people committing suicide at train stations. A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March.

40、ht be a good idea: “We associate the color with the sky and the sea.
