it turns out, according to griffin, that while we have done a good job of protecting the turtles for the weeks they spend on land (as egg-laying females, as eggs and as hatchlings), we have neglected the years spend in the ocean. “the threat is from commercial fishing,” says griffin. trawlers (which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor) and longline fishers (which can arrange thousands of hooks on lines that can stretch for miles) do great harm to turtles.of course, like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against the background of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems. the narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by the threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. finally we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our children to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.41. we can learn from the first paragraph that _. a. human activities have changed the way turtles survive b. efforts have been made to protect turtles from dying out c. government bureaucracy has contributed to turtles extinction d. marine biologists are looking for the secret of turtles reproduction42. the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 means that _ a. nature is quite fair regarding the survival of turtles. b. turtles are by nature indifferent to human activities. c. the course of nature will not be changed by human interference. d. the turtle population has decreased in spite of human protection. 43. _ is a major threat to the survival of turtles according to elizabeth griffin? a. their inadequate food supplyb. unregulated commercial fishing c. their lower reproductively abilityd. pollution of sea water44. how does global warming affect the survival of turtles? _ a. it threatens the sandy beaches on which they lay eggs. b. the changing climate makes it difficult for their eggs to hatch. c. the rising sea levels make it harder for their hatchlings to grow. d. it takes them longer to adapt to the high beach temperature.45. the last sentence of the passage is meant to _. a. persuade human beings to show more affection for turtles b. stress that even the most ugly species should be protected c. call for effective measures to ensure sea turtles survival d. warn our descendants about the extinction of speciesbtayka hotel de salwhere: tahua, boliviahow much: about $95 a nightwhy its cool: youve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? thats something few can claim. tayka hotel de sal is made totally of salt including the beds (though youll sleep on regular mattresses and blankets). the hotel sits on the salar de uyuni, a prehistoric dried-up lake which is the worlds biggest salt flat. builders use the salt from the 4,633-quare-mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries. when rain starts to dissolve the hotel, the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks.green magic nature resortwhere: vythiri, indiahow much: about $240 a nightwhy its cool: taking a pulley (滑轮) operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure. as you look out of your open window there is no glass! you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy (罩棚). later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel, or just sit on your bamboo bed and read. you dont even have to come down for breakfast the hotel will send it up on the pulley-drawn “elevator”.dog bark park inn b&bwhere: cottonwood, idahohow much: $92 a nightwhy its cool: this doghouse isnt just for the family pet. sweet willy is a 30-foot-tall dog with guest rooms in his belly. climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side. you can relax in the main bedroom, go up a few steps of the loft in willys head, or hang out inside his nose. although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters, there is also a toilet in the 12-foot-tall fire hydrant (消防栓) outside.gamirasu cave hotelwhere: ayvali, turkeyhow much: between $130 and $475 a nightwhy its cool: this is caveman cool! experience what it was like 5,000 years ago, when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash. but your stay will be much more modern. bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel, and the white volcanic ash, called tufa, keeps the rooms cool, about 65 in summer. (dont worrythere is heat in winter.)treebones resortwhere: california, americahow much: $100 a nightwhy its cool: you can sleep in a “room” any night, but how often do you get the chance to sleep in a yurt. whats a yurt?

will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? what do you hope about the future?futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity. first of all, it seems that tv channels will have disappeared by 2050. instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. by 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.then, “holographic feedback tv” will have arrived: holograms (全息图) are pictures that have height, width and depth. by 2050, we will be able to see, smell and touch the things that we see on television.water will have become one of our most serious problems. in many places, agriculture is changing and they are growing fruit and vegetables to export. this uses a lot of water. demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages.in transport, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. cars will have computers to control the speed and there wont be any accidents. by 2050, the computer will drive the car to your destination. on the other hand, space planes will take people halfway around the world in two hours.as for technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. many factories already use robots. big companies prefer robots - they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. by 2050, we will see robots everywhere - in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. today, there are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. by 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. scientists will be able to do these things but should they?51. what may happen in the field of entertainment in the future?
