In 1971, readers around the world were astonished by some photographs which appeared in newspapers. Hidden deep in the rainforests of an island in the Philippines, was an ethnic (種族的)  36 called the Tasaday. Not until that moment did anyone have any   37   of these people. They didn’t have an agricultural economy; they hunted animals and   38  fruit from the plants in the rainforest. They carried tools made of stone, lived in   39  and wore clothes made of leaves. Unknown until 1971, they   40  became world famous. After that, there were TV   41 and books about them; people said their simple lives showed that human beings could be good and kind if they were not  42 by modern life. Then after 1974 the region was closed by the government and the world   43  about them.
In 1986, a Swiss journalist, Oswald Iten, decided to visit the Tasaday. The journey   44  thick rainforests and across rivers was hard and dangerous. Mr. Iten was   45  killed by the soldiers, villagers and businessmen who wanted to take the wood from the rainforest. Finally, Mr. Iten   46  and found the caves of the Tasaday   47 . The people were living in nearby huts and they were all   48  jeans and T-shirts, not leaves. He thought that perhaps they were not an ethnic minority   49  .
When he   50  to Switzerland, Mr. Iten wrote about the Tasaday people in the newspapers. He said he thought that they were just ordinary farmers, poor, but not   51  from anyone else. He believed that in 1971, the government told “the Tasaday” to   52  they were native people from thousands of years ago, so that tourists---and money---would start   53  into the region.
One group of experts said that they really were people who had no   54  with modern life before 1971; another group said they were just   55  the part. So who are these people, really? Perhaps we’ll never really be sure.

With large and small keyboards everywhere, neither children nor adults need to write much of anything by hand. That’s a big problem. Study after study suggests that handwriting is important for brain development — helping kids get fine motor skills and learn to express and create ideas. Yet the time devoted to teaching penmanship in most schools has shrunk to just one hour a week. Is it time to give up handwriting? Have a look at the link between the brain and penmanship, and you may get the answer.
A test among students in grades 2, 4 and 6 found that they not only wrote faster by hand than by keyboard, but also created more ideas when composing essays with handwriting. And other research shows that the finger movements required to write by hand activate brain areas involved with thought, language, and short-term memory.
A recent Indiana University study had one group of children practice writing letters by hand while a second group just looked at those letters. Then, both groups of kids entered a functional MRI (核磁共振)that scanned their brains as the researchers showed them the same letters. Researchers found that the brain activity in the first group was far more advanced and “adult-like”.
Handwriting also affects other people’s way they think of adults and children. Several studies have shown that the same average essay will score much higher if written with good penmanship and much lower if written out in poor handwriting. These studies have also found that people judge the quality of a person’s ideas based on his or her handwriting. And the consequences are real: On standardized tests with handwritten sections, like the SAT, all essay that is considered hard to recognize gets a big zero.
Studies show that this isn’t only an English-language phenomenon. Chinese and Japanese youths are suffering from “character amnesia”. They can’t remember how to write characters, thanks to computers and text messaging. Some experts fear that Chinese writing and reading are so closely linked in the brain that China’s reading ability as a nation could suffer.
小題1:.
What does the Indiana University study imply?
A．Children should practice writing letters
B．Handwriting can increase brain activity
C．It’s good for children to enter a functional MRI.
D．Letters should often be shown to children
小題2:.
What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about?
A．Handwriting affects both adults and children.
B．Handwriting helps a person write better essays.
C．SAT should be done with good handwriting.
D．Good handwriting makes a person seem smarter.
小題3:.
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Essays written with keyboards will get lower scores.
B．The quality of your ideas depends on your handwriting.
C．Chinese and Japanese youths don’t know how to write.
D．Less handwriting may affect China’s reading ability.
小題4:.
The passage tries to tell us that __________________.
A．keyboards are more popular than handwriting
B．we shouldn’t judge people by their handwriting
C．handwriting is of great importance
D．it’s time to give up using keyboards

A town in Oxfordshire has become the first in the UK to have biomethane(生物甲烷)gas from human waste piped to their homes for gas central heating and cooking．
Up to 200 families in Didcot now receive the gas via the national gas power system. Head of energy and technology at British Gas，Martin Orrill，said customers wouldn’t notice any difference as the gas is purified to the highest standard and has no smell．The gas is produced at a sewage(污物) treatment works in Didcot．
The entire process takes only less than three weeks, with the sewage being collected and sent first to settlement tanks．The solid waste material is then fed into digesters, where anaerobic bacteria(厭氧菌)digest the sewage，with the aid of enzymes(酶)to speed up the process．The digestion process produces methane，which can be burned to drive machines(甲烷)to produce electricity，or can be purified and fed into the gas network and piped to homes and businesses. British Gas says supplying the gas rather than electricity is far more efficient since around two-thirds of the energy is lost in producing electricity.
Partners in the Didcot project，British Gas，Scotia Gas Network，and Thames Water，all hope to expand the process to other towns，and other companies such as Ecotricity and United Utilities have also announced biomethane projects being planned．One of these projects in Manchester could be supplying 500 homes with biomethane by mid next year. Another British Gas project in Suffolk will provide gas from digestion of brewery(啤酒廠)waste to around 235 families．
The Didcot project cost￡25 million and was influenced by promises of government aids aimed at encouraging companies to develop renewable technologies．An EU directive means the UK must ensure at least 15 percent of its energy is from renewable sources by 2020．
The UK produces about 1.73 million tons of sewage annually．If all sewage treatment works in the UK were fitted with the technology，they could supply gas for up to 350, 000 families.
小題1:.  Which of the following is TRUE of the biomethane gas?
A．it’s mainly made from rotting plantsB．It’s an environmentally friendly gas
C．Its production process is too longD．It’s easily recognized by customers
小題2:.  What is the function of the enzymes?   
A．To digest the solid waste materialB．To help get rid of anaerobic bacteria
C．To help purify the biomethane．D．To speed up the digestion process．
小題3:.  According to the passage，the biomethane gas had better be used        .
A．a(chǎn)s the power for vehiclesB．for heating and cooking
C．to produce electricityD．to drive a variety of machines
小題4:.  The last three paragraphs mainly show that        .
A．the UK government supports the biomethane projects
B．the biomethane projects are very costly
C．the biomethane projects still face many barriers
D．the biomethane projects are promising
小題5:. . What should the text belong to?
A．Computer scienceB．EngineeringC．EnergyD．Business

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

Sandstorms hit northwestern China's Gansu Province and North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on the first day this year. According to Sun Landong， a meteorologist with the Lanzhou Meteorology Observatory，visibility was less than 100 meters in Minqin， a Gansu county near Inner Mongolia， because of sand. When visibility drops to less than 1 kilometer，it is called a sandstorm. The sandstorm in Minqin blew up dust in neighboring towns， such as Baiyin， Wuwei， Jinchang and Lanzhou， the capital city of Gansu Province. Dust-laden winds also swept into Beijing. Brought by northwesterly blowing at more than 20 meters per second，dust first reached the capital's suburbs at 7 a. m，downtown areas at 9 a. m. The winds，which died down during the night，brought the temperature down to as low as 80C below zero and many flights put off their planned time from the city's airport.
It is quite rare for sandstorms，which are frequent between March and June，to happen in winter，when the earth is frozen. The sandstorms in Gansu and Inner Mongolia do not necessarily mean there will be more of them in the spring than last year，when they were serious，but Beijing is taking it very seriously. It is reported that Beijing will spend 6 billion yuan ( US 725 million) in preventing sandstorms in the capital and has already set up a spe­cial team to make sure what causes them.
小題1: What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Sandstorms took place in Gansu.
B．Sandstorms happened on the first day of the new year.
C．Sandstorms are very serious，compared to last year.
D．Experts are trying their best to determine the cause of the sandstorm formed this year.
小題2:Suppose the dust was 300 kilometers away from Beijing， it would reach Beijing about
hours later if it travels at a speed of 20 meters per second?
A．4. 2 B．1. 5 C．2. 0 D．2. 5
小題3:Why did sandstorms begin in the winter this year?
A．Because there was little snow this season.
B．Because a lot of trees have been cut down.
C．Because people took few measures to control them.
D．It is not mentioned in the passage.
小題4: Which of the following doesn't belong to the bad effect the sandstorms have done in Bei­jing?
A．The temperature fell. B．Flights put off their time to take off.
C．The air is dirty. D．People had three days off.
小題5:The author wrote the passage to        .
A．tell us the environments are becoming worse and worse
B．explain what measures people have taken to control sandstorms
C．make people realize the need to protect the environment.
D．call on us to do what we can to save the earth

A green house is a building made of glass which is used for keeping warm when the outside temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere (mixture of gases that surround the earth) which trap the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping. These gases are known as “greenhouse gases”. and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the “greenhouse effect”. This is not simply air pollution. Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere, and without them the earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us.
The problem is that in the last century and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the earth’s atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forest. The rapid increase in greenhouse gases is making the world warmer. The world’s temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10 centimetres. If the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubles, there will probably be a rise in the earth’s temperature of between I and 4℃;. This may seem a small increase, but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, our use of these gases has greatly increased.
小題1: According to the passage, we can know “greenhouse effect” means_______.  
A．the way in which gases are used for keeping plants warm
B．a(chǎn) natural course that is to a certain degree useful to us
C．the way “greenhouse gases” trap heat on the earth
D．the whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat
小題2: If there were no greenhouse effect,_______.
A．a(chǎn)ll plants would not grow on our planetB．soil would reduce the temperature by 30 degrees
C．man would breathe the cleaner airD．people couldn’t live in the earth
小題3: Which of the following is not true?
A．Burning too much coal and oil produces lots of greenhouse gases.
B．It has become warm on the earth now than in the past.
C．Gases put into the atmosphere now will affect the earth years later.
D．The temperature in a greenhouse is as high as that in the atmosphere.
小題4: Suppose the earth’s temperature rose by 3 degrees, _______. 
A．great harm will be done to mankindB．the sea level would go up by 10 centimeters
C．a(chǎn)ll the land in the world would be floodedD．crops would be unable to grow on the earth
小題5: This passage mainly deals with ________.
A．the concept (概念) and the harm of the greenhouseB．the relation between greenhouse gases and man
C．the concept and change of greenhouse effectD．the effect of the rise of the earth’s temperature
