not recycled, according to Elizabeth Roytes book Bottlemania: How Water Went on Sale and Why We Bought It.Transporting the bottles and keeping them cold also burns fuels, which give off greenhouse gases.And groundwater pumping by bottled water companies draws heavily on underground aquifers(含水层) and harms watersheds(分水岭), according to the Sierra Club.And some studies suggest it takes up to three liters of water to produce one liter of bottled water.Yet more than $100 billion is spent every year on bottled water globally.In many cities in developing countries where there is not a safe source of tap water, bottled water becomes a trusted choice.In the US., tap water is controlled by the government and often examined for dangerous polluted substances.Each American drinks 79 liters of bottled water per year on average, according to the Columbia Water Center at Columbia Universitys Earth Institute in New York.The bottled water industry is so successful that it has outpaced(超过) milk, coffee, and juice in the number of gallons of drinks soldputting it behind only beer and soda.Though the sale and consumption(消费) of bottled water is still on the rise, certain policymakers have taken steps to reduce it and encourage people to drink tap water.In September 2009, the Australian town of Bundanoon became the first town in the world to completely ban bottled water from its stores shelves, building water fountains(喷泉) around the town instead.Among US. cities that have taken action are San Francisco and Seattle, which no longer buy water for city use, and Chicago, which added a fivecent tax on each bottle.Several restaurants in those cities have also given up bottled water for tap water.Other cities are also considering taking action.【解题导语】本文讲述了瓶装水的运输和冷藏消耗能源、破坏环境，及几个国家对此所做出的应对措施。1What does the underlined word “drain” in the first paragraph probably mean?AValue.BConsumption.CSolution.DRelief(缓解)B解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“The US.

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 a desire to own a gun.Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wild land habitat.Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesnt 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 sports shooting to the great majority of people.Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to live 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 characterbuilding，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，guncarrying and killing improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage wars.【解题导语】本文讲述了以枪杀野生动物为“运动”这一现象，以及对野生动物生存现状的影响，表达了作者对野生动物生存问题的担忧。5According to the text，how many reasons cause the wildlife to disappear?A1.B2.C3.D4.B解析：细节理解题。由第三段第一句“Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wild land habitat.”可知答案为B。6According to the text，most people do not seem to be against hunting because _Athey have little knowledge of itBit helps to build human characterCit is too costly to stop killing wildlifeDthey want to keep wildlife under controlA解析：细节理解题。由第四段第二句“Although most people do not shoot，they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it.”可知答案为A。7The underlined word “agony” in the last paragraph probably means“_”AformBconditionCpainDsadnessC解析：词义猜测题。画线词所在句的后半句意为“但是我们知道伤害动物和看着动物们经历死亡的痛苦是让每个人都高兴不起来的事情”。agony“极大的痛苦”，故选C。 语法填空On Monday，the US Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) asked for African lions 1._(list) as“threatened” under the Endangered Species Act.This move would help protect them from 2._(extinct)The population of African lions 3._(predict) to be 75，800 in 1980，according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

annually，according to a team of health and climate scientists at the World Health Organization and the University of Wisconsin at Madisonand those numbers could double by 2030.Research data published in the journal Nature show that global warming may affect human health in a surprising number of ways: speeding the spread of infectious diseases such as malaria and dengue fever；creating conditions that lead to potentially fatal malnutrition and diarrhea；and increasing the likelihood of heat waves and floods.According to the scientists，who have mapped the growing health impacts of global warming，the data show that global warming affects different regions in very different ways.Global warming is particularly hard on people in poor countries，which is ironic，because the places that have contributed the least to global warming are most exposed to the death and disease higher temperatures can bring.“Those least able to cope with and least responsible for the greenhouse gases that cause global warming are most affected，” said lead author Jonathan Patz，a professor at UWMadisons Gaylord Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies，“Here lies an enormous global ethical challenge.” According to the Nature report，regions at highest risk for enduring the health effects of climate change include coastlines along the Pacific and Indian oceans and subSaharan Africa.Large cities，with their urban “heat island” effect，are also prone to(有倾向的) temperaturerelated health problems.Africa has some of the lowest percapita(每人的) emissions of greenhouse gases.Yet，regions of the continent are gravely at risk for diseases related to global warming.“Many of the most important diseases in poor countries，from malaria to diarrhea and malnutrition，are highly sensitive to climate，” said coauthor Diarmid CampbellLendrum of WHO.“The health sector is struggling to control these diseases and climate change threatens to weaken these efforts.” “Recent extreme climatic events have underlined the risks to human health and survival，” added Tony McMichael，director of the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health at the Australian National University.“This synthesizing(综合治理) paper points the way to strategic research that better assesses the risks to health from global climate change.”1Which of the following CANNOT be the result of global warming?AMore than 150，000 deaths every year.BCreating conditions that lead to potentially fatal malnutrition.CCausing more floods.DThe spread of infectious diseases.D解析：细节理解题。根据第一段和第二段可知，D项缺了speeding这一信息。2The underlined word “ironic” in Para.3 probably means “_”A讽刺的B严重的C无助的D贫穷的A解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“because the places that have contributed the least to global warming are most exposed to the death and disease higher temperatures can bring”可知，这些地区对全球变暖影响是最小的，受到的危害却是最大的，这当然是有“讽刺”的意味了。3Global warming is particularly hard on people in poor countries because _Athese places have contributed the least to global warmingBthese people are least able to deal with the problems caused by global warming Cthey are in countries along the Pacific and Indian oceans and subSaharan Africa Dthey are highly sensitive to climateB解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句及第四段中的“Those least able to cope with and least responsible for the greenhouse gases that cause global warming are most affected”可推知这些贫穷国家的人们应对全球变暖问题的能力是最差的，所以受到的危害尤其大。 完形填空My
