I am so worried about global warming. We need stop cutting down all of the trees so that they can absorb the carbon dioxide. I think the Kyoto Protocol（京都议定书) to stop pollution is a great idea ,and I hope our country will decide to follow it, too.
— Eli S.,10,Texa
People should do all they can to help stop pollution, even if it is something as little as recycling your soda can. Every little thing helps. Maybe schools can put recycling bins in classrooms. Students can bring in all of their cans and bottles and see how many the school can collect.
— Lindsey A.,11, Massachusett
The United States should take action to help stop pollution. Since we are one of the richest countries, we should at least spend a little money to help.
— Aaron z,11,Massachusett
It is not good that the United States is not following the Kyoto Protocol. The U.S. is one of the most pollution emitting (污染物排放)countries in the world. Even if the rest of the world agrees to follow those rules, without the U. S. and its big businesses agreeing, global warming will still be a big problem.
—Augustine S.,11,Ohio
The world needs to learn more about global warming problems. If we do not do something soon then some of Earth’s coolest animals will become extinct. People should use solar power instead of things that pollute the atmosphere!
— Jillian J.,10,Pennsylvania
Global warming is very dangerous, and it must be prevented. Even if people think that it cannot be stopped ,we should at least try. Stopping global warming is more important than keeping our businesses going. What about the penguins(企鹅)and the polar bears? We can’t just let them become extinct.
—Samantha R.,11,Illinois
小题1:Why does Lindsey suggest schools put recycling bins in classrooms?| A．To keep the classroom clean | B．To help protect wild animals. | | C．To help protect our earth. | D．To collect waste in classroom. |
小题2:Augustine worries that global warming problems will be difficult to solve because .| A．many people think that global warming cannot be stopped | | B．more and more trees are being cut down | | C．American government spends little money stopping pollution | | D．the U.S. refuses to follow the Kyoto Protocol |
小题3:Jillian and Samantha believe that .| A．solar power is earth-friendly energy | | B．global warming threatens animals’ survival | | C．America is the richest country in the world | | D．the penguins and the polar bears are dying out |
小题4:What do the six children mainly talk about?| A．Environmental problems. | B．The Kyoto Protocol. | | C．Animal protection. | D．The climate change. |
|
答案
小题1:C
小题2:D
小题3:B
小题4:A |
解析
小题1:推断题。Lindsey 说人们应当竭力去帮助停止污染，即使是诸如何收再利用汽水罐这样的小事情也会作用，接下来举的这一做法建议即是围绕防止污染来说的。既是为防止污染。当然目的是保护地球。
小题2:细节题。Augustine 说美国是最大的污染物排放回之一。只要美国政府和美国的企业不接受京都议定书，即使世界其他国家都接受它。全球气候变暖也得不到解决。由此可知D项正确。
小题3:细节题。Jillian and Samantha 都谈到全球气候变暖若得不到控制，像企鹅和北极熊这些动物馆将会灭绝。由此知B项正确，二人谈的是将可能出现理由的一种后果。故D项不正确。
小题4:主旨大意题。六个孩子谈的均是控制全球气候变暖和环境的问题。即都是环境问题。B项和C项均片面。 |

Dear Flowermouse,
Thank you for your comments on how Americans and Chinese view each other. This is an important subject. Modern technology has given many nations the chance of destroying other nations. This is a cruel picture but it is a realistic one. It means that every nation should make sure that these weapons of great destruction are never used. This requires greater acceptance of differences among people and nations in all parts of the planet.
Your letter asks specially about Chinese-American relationships but I want to let you know my feelings on a global scale. Because China and America are the most powerful nations and I believe they have a special responsibility for promoting better understanding and for leading the way toward peaceful solutions to the world"s problems.
You ask how Chinese and American people view each other. This is an important question. Because I know so little about China that I am not able to judge how Chinese view Americans. I am sure that the view differs according to individual experiences that persons might have. And it is not easy to describe America to foreigners. America is a vast mass of people and cultures. These people came from all parts of the world, from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe and Australia. Each brought a different culture and a different set of values within a single nation.
I believe that the vast majority of Americans like the vast majority of Chinese want peace and friendship between our two nations. Both China and America have suffered through generations from war and violence in our history. And I believe that it is the special responsibility of all Chinese and all Americans to impress this need for mutual understanding on our neighbors in other.
So my friend, this is my response. Please know that I write to you as a private person living in America. I do feel strongly that people everywhere have more in common than they have in differences. We all share the same basic needs for existence and we all depend upon the same need for the survival of this beautiful planet earth. Maybe we can begin to encourage better communication and better understanding through my columns. I hope so.

1970 was “World Conservation Year”. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped that the governments would act quickly in order to conserve nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 860 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and the water, and everything that grows and lives. We can"t live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are hoping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of eleven kilometres of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “No, One"s Going to Change our World. ” It was made by Scatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.

Everyone has experienced trying, but failing to master a difficult book that was begun with the hope of increasing one"s understanding. When that happens, it is 36 to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in 37 too much from the first reading of a(n) 38 book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the 39 reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair(令人失望).
What is the right method? The 40 is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not 41 or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever 42 to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you 43 understand. Read through the difficult 44 ,and you soon come to things that you do understand. Read these 45 .You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that 46 you to have read the book through once 47 .
What you understand by reading the book through to the 48 will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not 49 in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding 50 of it, which will happen 51 you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to 52 the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the 53 of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another 54 for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only 55 our reading, instead of helping it.

Travel to China is a lifetime experience and a better way to understand China. Only when you are there, you may start to appreciate and understand what a difference to live in a nation with a population of 1.3 billion.
China offers variety choices for visitors. If you are interested in Chinese history, Chinese culture and Chinese scenery, your trip will be very fulfilled and very interesting. If you want to enjoy a peaceful sunshine beach holiday, there are plenty of tourist areas along the coastal line, which have unspoiled beaches and luxury hotels for visitors. In Hainan Island, the beautiful Sanya beaches are opened the whole year around and there is no winter in this island. If you want excitements and nightlife, stay in big cities. There are many places every night for international gathering. If you are adventurers, go to remote areas to watch wild life or visit minorities(少数民族) to see how they live in the hillsides or desert. If you are sporty, take a cycle trip along the countryside, enjoy the rural(田园的) life and meet with Chinese people long the route.
You may have heard or read a lot about China from books, newspapers, magazines and TV programs. Some of them are true but most of them are out of date, incorrect or even false. China is different from many of your previous experiences and may shock you in many ways. This is what China is!
This country is changing and progressing every day. Yet it is still a developing country. After the economic reform, most of the developments concentrate in major cities and remote areas(边远地区) are still very backward. China is a very populated nation and people have to cope with the crowded environment. Foreign visitors may not get used to the mentality of the people and sometimes become frustrated with the situation, which they never experienced before. Basically Chinese are reserve, peaceful and nice. They are very polite too but in their own way. When a foreigner is willing to take a more positive attitude to recognize the difference, the trip will become worthwhile or you may ruin your trip completely by unreasonable expectation and misjudgment of the people in general.
