africa. the virus causes a disease called ebola hemorrhagic (出血的) fever. the ebola virus affects animals and people. it killed more than 200 people in the former zaire in 1995. this year, the ebola

disease. recently, however, american researchers announced progress in developing a medicine to prevent ebola hemorrhagic fever in monkeys. the scientists gave eight monkeys a small but deadly amount of the ebola virus. they gave an experimental vaccine (疫苗) to only four of them. the monkeys that did not receive the vaccine died within a week. the vaccine prevented the disease from developing in

readers. nearly 90 percent of the nine million adults in the country read at least one newspaper a day, putting sweden near the top of worldwide print media consumption (消费). , the largest and fastest growing international newspaper in the world, was launched in sweden in 1995. from being just famous in stockholm, the free daily newspaper, , has exported its concept internationally. there are now

stations. editions are full of short articles, so that the newspaper can be read in 20 minutes. in sweden, the newspaper has 1.1 million readers. this makes s readership nearly twice that of the

reuse, and recycle. this familiar environmentalist slogan tells us how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills and waterways. the concept is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of waste electronic junk (电子垃圾), such as old computers, cellphones, and televisions. but this process for managing e-waste may be used in an unscrupulous way more often than not used, a recent report suggests. “a lot of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse of reuse to bridge the digital divide,” said richard gutierrez, a policy researcher. one of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways. because of this, the report says, e-waste is a growing problem in lagos, nigeria, and elsewhere in the developing world. much of the waste ends up being thrown away along rivers and roads. often its picked apart by poor people, who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment. businessmen also pay workers a little money to get back materials such as gold and copper. this low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to many dangerous materials used to build electronics. according to gutierrez, this shadow economy exists because the excuse of recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen “a green passport” to ship waste around the globe. “developing nations must take upon some of the responsibility themselves,” gutierrez said. but, he added, “a greater portion of this responsibility should fall on the exporting state.” china, for example, has become a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste. the nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders. the chinese government, after many years of denial (否认), is finally beginning to take the lead.64. the passage mainly tells us that _.a. developing countries are facing serious environmental problemsb. e-waste is sent to developing countries under the excuse of reusec. developing countries are making full use of e-wasted. e-waste is a growing problem in developed countries65. what does the third paragraph mainly discuss?a. a lot of e-waste is dumped in developing countries.b. poor people break up e-waste to collect some valuable materials. c. the problem of e-waste is growing in developing countries.d. old computers and tvs still work before they are sent abroad.66. the underlined word “unscrupulous” in paragraph 1 probably means “_”.a. immoral b. wrong c. tricky d. unsafe67. from what gutierrez said we can learn that _.a. developing countries should be responsible for this problemb. exporting countries should be mainly responsible for this problemc. neither rich nor poor countries should be blamed for this problemd. poor countries should be blamed for this problem68. it can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.a. china has hidden a large amount of e-waste in many secret placesb. china has prevented poisonous materials from entering china for a long timec. china is falling behind other countries in dealing with e-wasted. china has greatly changed her idea about the problem of e-wasterecent studies of some of natures environmental “records” show that global warming can penetrate deep into the ocean faster than scientists have realized. the record keepers are foraminifera “forams” for short creatures so small that several could sit together on a pinhead. their shells reflect the environmental conditions under which they grow. the foram record includes a global warming event that provides a warning for our own times. although it occurred 55 million years ago, scientists consider it useful for studying the causes and results of our own global warming. the key finding is that the earth is a system that can change very rapidly. the climate change at that time involved a large rise in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane (甲烷). although there was no human input, this is another example of the important role such gases play in climate change. there also seems to have been a large release of methane from the seabed when frozen methane stored there were thawed out by the warming. this is a danger in our own times. “what this tells us is that the changes that we make to the earth today could lead to big changes to our planet,” nunes, a scientist, explained in nature. meanwhile, david field, another researcher has found evidence that global warming is beginning to penetrate the ocean today. field and his group looked at foram records off southern california for the past 1,400 years. those records show great climate changes, decade by decade. nevertheless, the 20th century stands out. they record great changes in small animal and plant species with cold-loving forms giving way to warmer-water types. “these results show that the 20th-century warming has already affected lower tropic levels of the california current,” they reported.69. scientists study the life of “forams” in the sea because _.a. they are the smallest living things in the seab. they have been living for almost 55 million yearsc. they can reveal environmental problemsd. they can make global warming more serious70. the authors purpose in writing the passage is to _.a. encourage people to find solutions to all the problems of the earthb. introduce the present conditions of the seac. blame people for their activities that cause global warmingd. warn people against the serious effect of global warming71. from the passage we can infer that _.a. a large amount of methane has been frozen and stored in the seabedb. the rise of greenhouse gases is the result of human activitiesc. scientists have found out the causes and results of global warmingd. people dont believe that the earth is a system that changes very quickly72. what is the best title of the passage?a. the earth can warm up fast.b. the earth will move around the sun faster.c. the earth will cool in the future.d. the earth could break up into pieces.i was born when my father and mother were on their way to nash, a lonely place where they were to meet with hardships and difficulties. they both liked this area very much, which might explain why they moved from missouri to such a town in western kansas. they did most of their shopping in nash, but before nash was built, they shopped at the little town of moran, where there was a small grocery store. i remember when the railroad came to nash, when the first telephones came, and the first cars. we lived six miles from the town so we missed out on meeting the trains. my mother was sick when i was young, so i did a lot of household chores, even doing the laundry, as i was the oldest, but i never worked outside with my five brothers. i remember going to school with my brothers. when we played basketball, we played outside, and the girls wore skirts and bloomers, and got along fine. i liked spelling matches, and we competed with other schools once or twice a month. i married herm messenger, a farmer in 1971. eleven children were born to us, four boys and seven girls; four were dead at birth.
