At the opening of his latest exhibition, Colorful World in the Eyes of Sean Chen, at the National Museum of China recently, the artist told his story. Chen left China for Australia in 1986 to seek artistic freedom, and like many new immigrants（移民）then, he had little money in his pocket. To make ends meet, he drew portraits of people in the street. Every day, he saw people buy ice cream from a shop. Chen couldnt help wondering: “It must taste great, thats why so many people buy it.” But he didnt buy one for himself because he had to save money to support his studies. After four months of painting there and watching people eat ice cream, Chen didnt resist the temptation（诱惑）- he bought an ice cream. “The first bite took me to heaven,” Chen recalls while laughing. “You know, as a poor young man in a new country, an ice cream was too expensive then.” Since then, he kept the taste of the ice cream in his heart and included the happy feelings in his paintings, which turn out to be colorful and sweet. His current exhibition is part of his nationwide tour that began at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing in 2011. He plans to take his artworks to 24 cities around China by 2016. The exhibition at the National Art Museum of China will last until April 22. After the exhibition tour, he will sell his works through an auction（拍卖会）, and all the money will be donated to protection of the environment in China. “The natural environment of New Zealand has inspired my artwork and brought me enjoyment.

CClimate change will bring greater extremes in weather, the Governments chief scientific adviser has warned as he called for action to deal with global warming. Professor Sir John Beddington says the effects of climate change on the weather are already being felt in the UK. “In a sense we have moved from the idea of global warming to the idea of climate change, and that is rather important. Temperatures are increasing and there are more changes in our weather,” he said. Even if effective action is taken now on global warming, he says there will be great climate change over the next 20 to 25 years as a result of past global problems. “We have serious problems in the world - in 12 years there will be another billion people on the planet and we have big issues of food security, water security and energy security, and many people will start to be living in cities,” he said. “These are serious problem; climate change is just going to make it worse.”He said there were some “uncertainties” in the analysis of climate and climate change. “But those uncertainties are completely unimportant in comparison（比较）with a great deal of evidence that shows it is happening in the sort of ways climate models would expect,” he said. “For example, the Arctic is heating up faster than other parts of the world - this is exactly what the climate scientists are predicting.”Sir Johns views were made as Britain experienced freezing cold weather and snow, with thousands of homes across the UK without power. England and Wales experienced 10 separate flooding events between April and December last year after widespread drought gave way to the wettest summer in a century, with unusually high rainfall totals and river levels around the country. 61. Which of the following is NOT one of the things that Sir John says? A. We need more action to deal with global warming. B. Climate change will make some big problems worse. C. Climate change will bring greater extremes in weather. D. England will experience more extremes in weather than Wales. 62. How long will it be before our planet has another billion people? A. 25 years. B. 20 years. C. 12 years. D. 10 years. 63. What is Sir Johns attitude towards the Climate scientists prediction? A. Puzzled. B. Trusting. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful. 64. In recent years, which of the following has the UK NOT experienced? A. Widespread drought. B. Many flooding events. C. Freezing cold weather. D. Several big earthquakes. 65. What is the main purpose of this report? A. To call for effective action on climate change. B. To introduce Professor Sir John and his opinions. C. To prove that the UK has experienced a series of disasters. D. To show how correct the climate scientists predictions are. 第二节 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。Rules for a Happier, Healthier YouNo one would ever say that they want to live a miserable life - its just not something that anyone would wish. 66 Whats the secret to having a happy life?
