This is John Roberts reporting from Cardiff. The result of the match which finished at four this afternoon between France and Wales was a draw. Neither side scored. The Dutch referee（裁判）did not allow the one goal which France managed to kick. The reason for this was that a French player was unfortunately off side. So both teams went home disappointed with the game. They particularly admired the French forwards, who were always fast and often threatened the Welsh defense. Once it looked as if the Welsh goalkeeper was in serious trouble. He dived to his right to save a shot from the French centre forward and crashed his head against the goal post. A doctor examined him and he soon began to play again. Of course the large, friendly crowd cheered for him. Wales will certainly welcome another visit from this splendid team.

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air， water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air， water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you， you will find that there are two kinds of plants： flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed， some have two， three or four， and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）。 Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places， they usually grow into new plants.
62.小題1:The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.
A．plants are important for lifeB．plants cannot grow without air
C．there are many plants in the worldD．we can not live without water
63.小題2:What can we infer（推斷） from the passage ？
A．Of all living things animals are most.B．Spores are seeds.
C．All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.D．Without plants，man will die out.
64.小題3:What is the meaning of the underlined word?
A．Kept.B．Guarded.C．Prevented.D．Surrounded

Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America but also an extremely serious problem in some developing countries. For these countries, economic growth is a very important aim. They want to introduce industries, and so they put few controls on the industries which cause pollution.
Cubatao, an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil, is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao had no industry. Today it has more than twenty large factories, which produce many pollutants(污染物). The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matter in their environment and the bad effects can be clearly seen. Birth shortcomings are extremely common. Among children and adults, lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places.
It is true that Brazil, like many other countries, has laws against pollution, but these laws are not enforced strictly enough. It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines(罰款) than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers. However, the responsibility(責(zé)任) does not completely lie with the Brazilian government. The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either. A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France, Italy, and the U. S. They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home. If they caused the same amount of pollution at home, they would be severely(嚴(yán)厲地) punished or even put out of business.
小題1:Why don’t developing countries have strict pollution controls?
A．The new industries they want to introduce do not cause much pollution.
B．Pollution is not a serious problem for developing countries.
C．They don’t realize the balance of nature will be destroyed by some pollutants.
D．If they put stricter controls on industry, fewer companies would build new plants in developing countries.
小題2:What is the author’s purpose in taking Cubatao as an example?
A．To show that industry can develop very fast in developing countries.
B．To show that the pollution problem in Brazil is extremely serious.
C．To show that industrial growth can cause pollution problems for developing countries.
D．To show that pollution is killing many people and destroying the whole economy of Brazil.
小題3: How is the health of the population of Cubatao?
A．There are more heart diseases among people who live near chemical factories.
B．More people suffer from lung diseases because of poisonous matter.
C．Their health is affected by pollutants the same way as that of other Brazilians.
D．Babies there are found not as bright as those who live in other places.
小題4:Why do some foreign companies like to set up their plants in Brazil?
A．The investment(投資) environment in Brazil is suitable for them.
B．They will not be severely punished if they cause pollution in Brazil.
C．They can make much money because they do not have to pay Brazilian workers much.
D．They can act in an irresponsible(不負(fù)責(zé)任的) way in Brazil because there are no pollution laws there.

The Baima is a minority group of about 1,400 people. They have lived in Northern Sichuan and Southern Gansu Provinces for centuries. They have long depended on the forests as their main source of income. But since a ban on cutting down forests was introduced in the late 1990s to fight yearly flooding, the villagers have had to look for other means of earning a living.
Several are now in the process of developing a small tourism industry as their lands are rich in forests and natural scenery and are the home of the giant pandas. Xiangshujia, in particular, is becoming a popular bed and breakfast centre for tourists heading to Wanglang to see the giant pandas. Visitors are also starting to take notice of the Baima people themselves.
As our jeep stopped in the courtyard of a house, we were greeted by the village leader Li Qin and young Baima girls dressed in traditional costumes with white feathers in their hair. As we took our places on wooden benches near an open fire, the girls began to sing traditional songs as they served us.
“The number of tourists is growing,” said Li Qin. “We realize that to attract visitors we have to show our culture by offering more traditional singing and dancing and ensuring our houses are built in the traditional way.”
Relations between the Baima people and the reserve were once tense following the ban on cutting down forests. Villagers had to make a new living. They entered the Wanglang Nature Reserve to collect wild mushrooms and herbs (藥草), often at the expense of disturbing the pandas’ habitat. But things greatly improved as villagers started receiving training in how to sell things to tourists.
“Our aim was to deter the villagers, because they often disturbed the pandas’ habitat, and to ensure they could have a long-lasting means of earning a living,” emphasized Chen Youping, director of the Wanglang Nature Reserve. “All the money from the reserve goes back into the community and conservation projects,” said Chen. “We take into consideration first the animals and then tourism.”
小題1:From Paragraph 1 we learn that ________.
A．the Baima has the longest history among all the minority groups in China
B．the Baima people live in most areas of Sichuan and Gansu Provinces
C．forests are the main source of firewood for the Baima people
D．in order to fight floods, the Baima people are forbidden to cut down forests
小題2: We can infer that the Baima girls wore their traditional costumes to greet visitors mainly because _______.
A．they wanted to look more beautiful
B．their leader Li Qin asked them to do so
C．it was a way to show their culture to attract visitors
D．it was necessary before they sang traditional songs
小題3:Which of the following was NOT an effect of the ban on cutting down forests?
A．The Baima people had a tense relationship with the reserve.
B．Villagers had to look for other means of making a living.
C．The pandas’ habitat was often disturbed by villagers.
D．Villagers stopped selling things to tourists.

Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport.” Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.
The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led along way away by their gunning parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and guncarrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins (血管). They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate (刺激) a desire to own a gun. Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wildland habitat (棲息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesn't seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved.
Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.
Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human-character, then perhaps we should encourage war.
小題1:According to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because___________.
A．they have little knowledge of itB．it helps to build human character
C．it is too costly to stop killing wildlifeD．they want to keep wildlife under control
小題2:The underlined word "agony" in the last paragraph probably means______________.
A．formB．ConditionC．painD．sadness
小題3:According to the text, the films children watch at school actually__________.
A．teach them how to deal with guns safely B．praise hunting as character-building
C．describe hunting as an exerciseD．encourage them to have guns of their own
小題4:It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to_____________.
A．blame the majority of peopleB．worry about the existence of wildlife
C．be in favour of warD．be in support of character-building

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) refers to an economy which has a minimal emission of greenhouse gas (GHG), namely, carbon dioxide into the biosphere(生物圈). Recently, most of the scientists and the public hold the opinion that the climate is changing because there is such an accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere due to human activities. The over-concentration of these gases is producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future. LCE, therefore, is proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change.
All nations which are considered carbon intensive societies and societies which are heavily populated should become zero-carbon societies and economies. Several of these countries have promised to become 'low carbon' but not entirely zero carbon, and claim that emissions will be cut by 100% by balancing emissions rather than ceasing all emissions.
Nuclear power and the strategies of carbon capture and storage (CCS) have been proposed as the primary means to achieve a LCE while continuing to exploit non-renewable resources. Scientists are afraid, however, whether the spent-nuclear-fuel can be stored, and whether it is secure. Also they are not certain about the costs and time needed to successfully implement CCS worldwide and whether the stored emissions will leak into the biosphere or not. Alternatively, many have proposed renewable energy should be the main basis of a LCE, but, they have their associated problems of high-cost and inefficiency; this is changing, however, since investment and production have been growing significantly in recent times. Furthermore, it has been proposed that to make the transition to an LCE economically attractive we would have to attach a cost (per unit output) to GHGs through means such as emissions trading and/or a carbon tax.
A LCE is aimed to integrate all aspects of itself from its manufacturing, agriculture, transportation to power-generation around technologies that produce energy and materials with little GHG emission and thus around populations, buildings, machines and devices which use those energies and materials efficiently and dispose of or recycle its wastes so as to have a minimal output of GHGs.

Climate change experts from the Tyndall Climate Research Centre in Britain have said urgent action is needed to curb the rapid growth in air travel if the government is to meet its commitments on tackling global warming. This report from Stephen Evans:
Falling ticket prices and rising incomes are leading to rapid growth in global air travel. According to the British government, the number of British air passengers, for example, will more than double in the next quarter of a century. Increases of such an order would mean much more aviation fuel being burned and aviation fuel may be more harmful to the environment than other fuels because the resulting smoke is emitted at high altitudes.
A group of scientists at the environmental research group, the Tyndall Centre, says that if Britain is to meet its overall target for cutting damaging emissions, other uses of fuel like for heating homes or driving cars would have to be cut dramatically.
The British government wants the use of aviation fuel covered by international agreement on the environment. The difficulty for any individual government is that taxing fuel used at its own airports might push airlines to move their operations to competing airports in other countries.
小題1:Which statement is TRUE?
A．A lot of people around the world have recently stopped flying because they have less money to spend and the price of plane tickets is going up
B．Half as many people as today will fly in the next 25 years.
C．Because more planes are suing more flight petrol and more pollution is being produced in the sky.
D．The British government would like all countries to agree not to tax airline fuel.
小題2:Which is the reason that leads to the rapid growth in global air travel?
A．The increase of incomes and the decrease of ticket prices.
B．The growth of the number of good planes.
C．The falling of the oil price.
D．The encouragement of the governments.
小題3:The Tyndall Centre says ________.
A．the number of British air passengers will more than double in the next quarter of a century.
B．Britain will have to use less energy at home and on the roads to meet the goal of cutting pollution.
C．If airports are taxed for using fuel by each country’s government, then airlines might use other airports with cheaper fuel taxes.
D．Only the use of aviation fuel needs to be cut down to meet the overall target for cutting damaging emissions.
小題4:What’s the best title of the text?
A．Falling Ticket Prices and Rising Incomes
B．Growth in Air Travel Harms Environment
C．Rapid Growth in Global Air Travel
D．More Flight Petrol, More smoke

Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people’s mind to another culture or race.
People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.
“ Most local stories are based on a larger theme,” American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “ Cinderella(灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.”
Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoner too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don’t like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “For every advance in business,” she says, “ there is a greater need for communication.” Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.
Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says.
“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says, “ What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody’s story.”  
小題1:What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragraph 2?
A．They share the same way of storytelling.
B．They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.
C．They learn their stories from the American natives.
D．They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.
小題2:The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that prisoners can _____.
A．start a new lifeB．settle down in another place
C．direct filmsD．become good actors
小題3:Pugh has practised storytelling with _____ groups of people.
A．2B．3C．4D．5
小題4:What is the main idea of the text?
A．Storytelling can influence the way people think.
B．Storytelling is vital to the growth of business.
C．Storytelling is the best way to educate children in school.
D．Storytelling helps people understand themselves and others.
