In the decades to come, Asia-home to more than half the worlds 63 billion people-will change from one climate extreme to another, with tired farmers battling droughts, floods, disease, food shortages and rising sea levels.“Its not a pretty picture,” said Steve Sawyer, climate policy adviser with Greenpeace in Amsterdam. Global warming and changes of weather patterns are already occurring and there is more than enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come.Already, changes are being felt in Asia but worse is likely to come, Sawyer and top climate bodies say, and could lead to mass migration and widespread human disasters. According to predictions, icebergs will melt faster, some Pacific and Indian Ocean islands will have to evacuate or build sea defenses, storms will become more intense and insect-and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms.All this comes on top of rising populations and earnest demand for food, water and other resources. Experts say environmental worsening such as deforestation and pollution will likely enlarge the results of climate change.In what could be a sign of the future, Japan was hit by a record of 10 typhoons and tropical storms this year, while two-thirds of Bangladesh, parts of Nepal and large areas of northeastern India were flooded, affecting 50 million people, destroying livelihoods and making tens of thousands ill.The year before, a winter cold strike and a summer heat wave killed more than 2,000 people in India.36.This passage is mainly about .Awhat kind of weather we like bestBthe weather predictions for Asia in the future and the reasonsC. how to improve our environmentDthat the world will not be suitable for us to live in37In the future the Asian farmers will have to face the following except .Afood shortages Bdroughts Cwars Dfloods38.The underlined word“doomsday” may give us the feeling of .Ahappiness BSadness Cpeace Dexcitement39Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage?A.Asian climate will change greatly.B.Some islands may be flooded in the future.C.More than 50 million people have been killed in Asia the year before.D.people may meet with some new diseases borne from water. BIn a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism-the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize all possible basic knowledge. Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.In most Asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects societys belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments.There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they havent memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.40The writers purpose of writing this passage is .Ato share his idea with others in a new wayB.to introduce two different systems of education through contrastC.to criticize the society that values memorizationD.to prepare students for society41Which is NOT true according to the passage?AThe system of education in the West is more creative than that in the EastB.Japanese students learn much more about science than American students.CCanadian students are more individual than Korean students.DStudents in North America are not so friendly as those in Asia.42From the facts, we can infer that .A. Asian students are more likely to do better in teamwork than American studentsB. Chinese students are more hard-working in their studies than Mexican studentsC. The Western educational system is much better than the Eastern educational system.D. The Eastern educational system is as difficult as the Western educational system.43What is the best title for the passage? A.Advantages and Disadvantages of Educational System. BThe Value of Individualism. C. Educational System-an Obvious Difference between the East and the West. D.Memorization-an Important Learning Method.CAn Australian man has beaten 75 other contestants from around the world to win a race up the stairs of the worlds tallest building, Taipei 101.Paul Crake,30, ran up 91 floors containing 2,046 steps in 10 minutes, 29 seconds.Mr. Crake, who has won a similar race up the Empire State Building five times, won $5,920 in prize money. The womens race was won by Austrian Andrea Mayr, who finished in 12 minutes,38 seconds and also won a $5,920 prize.Austrian Rudolf Reitheiger, who beat Mr. Crake in this years Empire State Building Race, came second in the mens competition.Mr. Crake and Ms. Mayr missed out on the offer of $30,000 for completing the grueling race in under 10 or 12 minutes respectively.A further 1,001 people took part in a so-called“self-challenging” race up the skyscraper.Taipei 101 is 508 meters tall and was finished in 2003, although Chinese developers have said Shanghais World Financial Center will be taller when completed in 2007.“Tower-running” races take place up the tallest buildings and structures across the world.The Sears Tower in Chicago, the CN Tower in Toronto and the AzrieliTower in Tel Aviv have all held recent events.Runners also race up the longest staircase in the world-the service staircase for the Niesenbahn railway near Spiez, Switzerland, which has 11,674 steps.At event for the longdistance stairway runners also takes place in Radebeul, Germany, where competitors run up 397 stairs 100 times to equal the height of Mt everest.44.According to the passage, we can infer that there were _ contestants in all to take part in the race up the stairs of the world'stallestbuilding,Taipei101.A 30 B75 C76 D100145Which of the following is NOT true about Paul Crake?APaul Crake is an Australian man who is 30 years old at least.BPaul Crake has raced up the EmpireStateBuilding five times.CPaul Crake didnt win a $30,000 prize for not completing the race in under 10 minutes.DPaul Crake was beaten by Rudolf Reitheiger in this years Empire State Building race.46.

Probably the best explanation is connected with the Babylonians.Many, many centuries ago, large distances were measured in the Babylonians mile. The Babylonians mile equaled about seven of our miles. Because of its length, the time needed to travel the Babylonians mile became a measure of time. One day was said to be twelve Babylonians time-miles.About one thousand years before Christ, the Babylonians began keeping records of star movements. They needed a way to record how much time passed between the moment they first saw a star and then observed it again. They used Babylonians time-miles as their measure of timeIn order to have small units of time, the Babylonians divided each time-mile into thirty parts. The Babylonians believed that each trip around the sky was a circle. One complete trip around the sky, they reasoned, took one day.You already know that one day was the same as twelve Babylonians time-miles. Since each time
