11、plied the young lawyer，“I bet Ill stay there longer；make it fifteen instead of five. ” “Fifteen!Done!”cried the banker. “Gentleman. I bet you two millions. ” “Agreed.

Its Virtual School has taught more than 10,000 students from across the United States and other countries. Las
19、t year，the school launched NYU Online. It offers NYUs first online programs for a bachelors degree. Programs are offered in three areas：leadership and management，information systems management and social sciences. The classes are highly interactive，where students communicate with each other and thei
20、r teachers. Some classes require students to log in at the same time 80 they can attend live lectures by a professor. Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects.

27、lief 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 effect they have on nature. Developing countries do hav

29、 natives of that country，but to satisfy the needs of rich countries. Central American forests are being destroyed for grassland to make pet food in the United States cheaper；in Papua New Guinea，forests are destroyed to supply cheaper cardboard packaging for Japanese electronic products；in Burma and
30、Thailand，forests have been destroyed to produce mole attractive furniture in Singapore and Hong Kong. Therefore，a rich person living thousands of miles away may cause more tropical forest destruction than a poor person living in the forest itself. In short，it is everybodys duty to safeguard the futu

Energy is one of the most fundamental forces in the world. Animals use energy to walk and run. Trees and plants use energy to
42、 grow. People use it to work and play. Energy is everywhere in nature-in the light of the sun，in the wind，in the forest,in water currents and erupting volcanoes. Without energy，there is no life. We use our own energy constantly and we continually make use of all kinds of energy. Energy can be divide
43、d into two different types：stored energy and dynamic energy. Stored energy is caned potential energy，and the latter refers to energy in motion. If you stretch out a rubber band， this produces potential energy. If you let it go，it moves and produces the dynamic energy. 2007 年上半年自考英语（二）真题试卷答案与解析一、Voca
