Take off your tie, says the Italian health ministry.It has urged employers to let their staff dress casually at work in the summer so that the air conditioning can be turned down.Taking your tie off immediately lowers the body temperature by 2 or 3 degrees centigrade, the ministry said in a statement. Allowing a more sensible use of air conditioning brings about electricity savings and protects the environment.It called on all public and private offices to let employees wear no tie during heat waves like the one that has brought Africa-like temperatures to many parts of Italy this week.The move echoes (回应) a similar action from Italys biggest oil group, ENI, which told its staff earlier this month they need not wear a tie at work.The tie makers, however, were left hot under the collar.Italy confirms that it is a strange country, Flavio Cima said angrily in a letter to financial daily Il Sole 24 ORE under the headline: I, tie maker, am responsible for global warming.We can now happily continue with our lifestyle, using cars, consuming fuel, heating and cooling our homes at leisure. On one condition: we should not wear a tie while we do so, he wrote.I should have listened to my friends and become an oil producer instead.Italy is one of the European Unions worst performers on the pollution front and is among the EU countries expected to exceed(超出) their greenhouse gas emission (排放) targets.4.Whats the purpose of the move of taking off ties?A. To dress casually.B. To fight global warming.C. To keep the body temperature.D. To improve working conditions.5.Who first encouraged employees to take off ties?A.ENI.B.

Puzzled.7.Which of the following is TRUE about Flavio Cima?A. He stands by the oil group.B. He agrees with the ministry.C. He admits his responsibility.D. He argues against taking off ties.CExperts believe that storms and severe weather in North America and Asia have disrupted bird flight paths across the world and swept huge numbers of bird species towards the British Isles.Birds flying to the other side of the Atlantic or to the Pacific to lay their eggs have been trapped in Britain and Ireland, adding their numbers to native species, and causing great excitement in the bird-watching community.Local birdwatchers have already observed a total of 442 species in the British Isles this year. The highest number ever seen in one year is 445, in 2008.We only need four more to break our record, said Lee Evans, who runs the British Birding Association. With three months to go, Im sure well do it.Last month an extremely rare Siberian Rubythroat bird was seen in Scotland, sending hundreds of birdwatchers north in the hope of catching a glimpse of this colourful Asian beauty. Another very uncommon bird, the bufflehead duck was cited in Cornwell and caused similar excitement. I couldnt believe it, said Evans. The poor thing was completelyknackered. It must have been blown to England by the storms while trying to fly from Canada to the southern United States for the winter. Thats 3000 miles!Evans said that global warming over the past decade was playing a key role in transforming bird movements across the world. In addition, melting Arctic sea ice may also be opening up bird flight paths over the North Pole, making it easier for birds from the Pacificsuch as the slaty-backed gull and tufted puffin, both of which appeared in London earlier this yearto reach Britain.Bird-watching is becoming an increasingly popular hobby among all age groups, added Evans. A fifth of our members are under 18. This is a round-the-year hobby that you can enjoy from the kitchen window or from a car. More and more people are bird-watching, and as a result, more and more unexpected species are being spotted in the British Isles.zx&xk8.What is the passage mainly about?A. The results of global warming.B. Changes in the British bird population.C. Increasing environmental pollution.D. Worsening British weather.9.The underlined word knackered is closest in meaning to _.A. boredB. knockedC. spottedD. tired10.According to the passage, which of the following birds comes from Asia?A. Slaty-backed gull.B. Bufflehead.C. Rubythroat.D. Tufted puffin.11.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible reason for seeing more bird species in Britain?A. An increase in the number of birdwatchers.B.A growth in the number of native species.C. Storms due to global warming.D. The melting Arctic ice cap.DWhere should an adventurous tourist go? After youve done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, enjoyed the local food in Paris, and danced to your hearts content at the Brazilian carnival, where else can you go? What attractive tourist destination awaits you?Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! Its considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures.Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and its still small part. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many wont even leave the boat.The BBCs Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to raise.But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And theyre likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.According to Rix, guidelines are followed when youre about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect(消毒)their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.And once on land, theres no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragmentsnothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.12.Who lives in Antarctica?A.37,000 tourists.B. The BBCs Juliet Rix.C.A few scientists and animals.D. People in London and Paris.13.Why can tourism be good for Antarctica?A. People can bring some animals into it.B. People may take interest in the protection of it.C. People can give advice to the native population.D. People will go to the coastline to play with the seals.14.What are the guidelines when you go on the shore?A. You can leave rubbish on the shore.B. You can smoke and eat on the shore.C. You can take something as souvenirs.D. You can help to protect the environment.15.What is the authors attitude towards the tourists going to Antarctica?A. Positive.B. Ambiguous.C. Subjective.D. Negative.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As warming continues, scientists warn the oxygen content of oceans across the planet could be more and more reduced, with serious consequences for the future of fish and other sea life. 16 One is the simple fact that as water gets warmer, it can hold less dissolved (溶解的) oxygen. The other reason is less obvious. The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surface either from the atmosphere, or from photosynthesizing algae floating at the top of the sea. 17 Global warming is expected to reduce the mixing of the ocean by making surface seawater lighter. Thats because in a warmer world we can expect more rainfall and more melting(融化) of glaciers, icebergs, and ice sheets. 18 The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will also make surface water expand and thus make it lighter still. 19 Instead, more of the oxygen will remain near the surface, where it will be used up by oxygen-breathing organisms.A low-oxygen ocean may become an inescapable feature of our planet. A team of Danish researchers wondered how long oxygen levels would drop if we could somehow reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2100. They determined that over the next few thousand years oxygen levels would continue to fall, until they declined by 30 percent. The oxygen would slowly return to the oceans, but even 100,000 years from now they will not have fully recovered. 20 A. Its not known why the oxygen level of oceans has reduced.B. Scientists point to two reasons to expect a drop in ocean oxygen.C. Fresh waters inpouring will make the water at the oceans surface lighter.D. The oxygen then spreads to the deep ocean as the surface water slowly sinks.E. Global warming has caused the reduction of the oxygen content of oceans worldwide.F. The light surface water will be less likely to sink so the deep ocean will get less oxygen.G. If they are right, we have every reason to worry about the major effect it has on sea life. 第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)Green is a combination of the colors yellow and blue. Each of the two colors brings its own21energy to the overall feeling of the color green. Blue22calm and peace, while yellow shows liveliness and high levels of energy.
