money as he took with him the first time he went to beijing. his life was as simple as before.thanks to his natural performance in “blind shaft”, he was invited by the famous director feng xiaogang to

well-knownchuaplee is located just south of hua hin, about two hundred kilometres from bangkok, down the west side of the gulf of thailand. it was a long journey from bangkok （曼谷） to huaplee. not many tourists find this place, and it took me ages to arrive there the first time i went to huaplee. theres an atmosphere of laziness in the place. the small waves on the sea slow everything down. you settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. then, the cook will ask what youd like to eat this evening and rush off to the market to buy the foods for you to order. no menu here. after dinner, you can sit on the beach, which is the most wonderful thing because you dont have to worry about being late for work. there is non noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. theres no street noise. the only sounds are the murmurs of nature. the beach to your right stretches off to the horizon(地平线). no start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. usually, youre the kind of people who cant sit for more than ten minutes, but now you would like to sit here until the end of the world.29when the author first went to huaplee beach, _.ahe found it unworthwhilebhe failed to enjoy himself che became sunburnt on the beach. dhe took a lot of time to find it30what is special about the food service at huaplee beach?ano menu. bfree food.cself service. dquick delivery.31what

long time.dbased on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. according to science daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of todays familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in todays world. climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. if the changes come too quickly，animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.the planet itself has been showing signs of change. in 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in china because of another severe earthquake. egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another huge earthquake.within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than before. at this point, it doesnt matter what is causing it. natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.however, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. no one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data. 32. what is the major function of paragraph 1?a. to state how climate changes.b. to arouse the readers concern.c. to summarize the whole passage.d. to introduce the theme of the passage.33. what is the authors purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?a. to show changes are taking place on the planet.b. to remind people to prevent future earthquakes.c. to show the damage that earthquakes caused.d. to tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future. 34. which of the following is not true of climate changes effects ?a. animal and plant species may disappear.b. it could lead to the spread of diseases.c. present world climate will completely disappear.d. natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.35. what can be inferred（推断） from the passage?a. animals and plants wont die out as long as climate changes slowly.b. theres enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.c. the world is getting more dangerous because of animal migration.d. the earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.第2节
