9、e new bucket was very proud of itself. It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled (溢出).

10、How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I dont know why he still bothers with you.

Here are two of our favorites;Green MapsGreen Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly plac

16、es and attractions in the local areas. Users add information with a set of icons（图标）, making it easy to read any map, whatever the nationalities of those who produce it . At present there are over five hundred map projects being developed in 54 countries Green Maps advertised idea is “think global,

17、map local”. It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of a place, ranging from community garden to good places of bird watching.Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers. Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with producers through the Gree

18、n Maps website.Maps MashupsMany people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know about the mashups of them. Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Maps Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to existing maps to express a certain topic. The mashups is so called because it combi

19、ne all the knowledge you could ever need. It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all the World Heritage Site are, to the most bizarre （古怪的），such as where Americas drunkest cities are.

23、tury, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingd

24、om. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman sho

25、uld not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it

26、 seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War . Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many fir

27、st-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining s

28、ome ground.64. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.

B. By making comparisons.C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.67. W

30、hat is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt. B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt. D. To present the change of views on dirt.DWilliam Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865. His childh

31、ood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on

32、literature , particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didnt lose he

33、art, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works, Yeatss poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As hi

34、s literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now his v

35、alued as a manor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeatss death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:Earth, receive an honoured guest:William Yeats is laid to rest.Let the Iri

36、sh vessel (船) lieEmptied of its poetry68. Which of the following can describe Yeatss family?A. It filled Yeatss childhood with laughter. B. It was shocked by Yeatss choice.C. It was a typically wealthy family. D. It had an artistic atmosphere.69. According to those passage, what do we know about Yea

37、tss life?A. Yeats founded the first Irish theater. B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his peotry.C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.70. What kind of feeling is expressed in W.H. Audens lines?A. Envy B. Sympathy C.

38、Emptiness D. Admiration71. What is the passage mainly about? A. Yeatss literary achievements B. Yeatss historical influenceC. Yeatss artistic ambition D. Yeatss national honorESkeptics are strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they a

39、re tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread noting but bad news about the environment. T he “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explain

40、s why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book ,The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are s

41、imilar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One

42、 national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a

43、 respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for unexamined materials is incredible（不可信的）”。A critical（批判的）eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunate

44、ly, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interest. People might become half-blind before a world partially exhibited by the media. Thats a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.72

45、. According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?A. People who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.D. People who spread comforting news to prot

46、ect our environment.73. Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborgs books?A. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests. B .The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.C. The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.D. Industryfu

47、nded media present confusing information.74. The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_.A. voice a different opinion B. find fault with Lomborgs book C. challenge the authority of the media D. point out the value of scientific views.75. What is the authors main purpose in writing the passenger?A. To encourage the skeptics to have a c
