They use natural and organic methods to control harmful insects and weeds instead of using chemicals. Now, a winery in Canada has adopted a natural way to control its grapevines(葡萄藤).The Featherstone Winery is in southern Ontario. The grapevines, like other plants, need to be cut every year.Cutting grapevines must be done very carefully. Only a targeted area of leaves is removed from the lower part of the vines to help the grapes grow better. But at the Featherstone Winery, no man or machine does the cutting. Instead, the job is done by 40 little wooly lambs.David Johnson owns the vineyard. He says he learned about using lambs while visiting wineries in New Zealand. The young lambs are perfectly designed to go the job. They eat the grape leaves on the lower parts of the vine. But they are not tall enough to reach the grapes. They only weigh about 22 kilograms, so they do not beat down the soil. And their waste makes good organic fertilizer(有机肥料). In addition, using the lambs costs much less than hiring workers to cut the vines for seven weeks in summer. And when the cutting is done in August, the lambs become tasty dishes.Mr Johnson says he had a difficult time finding enough lambs to do the job. There are about 50 million lambs in New Zealand. But there are not nearly as many in Ontario. Also, some organic pesticides (杀虫剂) are harmful to lambs. And the lambs must be watched to make sure they do not eat too much of the grapevines.David Johnson says the lambs help him carry out his environmental ideas about farming. They are lovely and peaceful and he likes having them in his vineyard. People visiting the vineyard also enjoy watching the lambs do their job.46、Farmers who grow grapes with natural and organic methods .A. dont cut grapevines every yearB. dont use chemicals to control harmful insects and weedsC. dont need to control harmful insects and weedsD. dont use organic fertilizer47、In order to help the grapes grow better, growers .A. only have to remove the dead leavesB. need to remove a specific area of leavesC. shouldnt remove any part of the plantsD. should let little lambs do the cutting48、Which of the following statements about using lambs to do the cutting is WRONG?A. Using lambs costs more than hiring workers.B. Lambs wont eat the grapes.C. David Johnson learned this way in New ZealandD. Lambs can be eaten after the cutting is done.49、Paragraph 4 is manly about .A. the future of getting lambs to do the cuttingB. the worries about using organic pesticidesC. the ways to get lambs to do the cutting D. the problems related to lambs doing the cutting50、We can infer from the passage that David Johnson .A. owns several wineries in CanadaB. buys lambs from New ZealandC. is concerned about protecting the environmentD. loves keeping lambs instead of farmingBEveryone agrees that its necessary to reduce carbon emissions(排放物)around the world. There is less agreement over exactly how nations should go about achieving a more carbon free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent: cap-and-trade carbon emissions, or place a carbon tax on all users?With cap-and-trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry, Companies that hold their emissions below the cap can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purchase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward：as set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap-and=trade has the upper hand, but doesnt defeat the tax just yet.Supporters of the tax argue that a cap-and-trade system would be too difficult to administerand too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap-and-trade advocates contradict that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower-income families, who spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption? A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5% or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy group. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments havent figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both.51. The passage focuses on .A. programs of collecting taxes B. systems of reducing carbon emissionsC. reasons for reducing carbon emissions D. contradictions between the two systems52. According to the cap-and-trade program, companies .A. are forbidden to produce carbon emissionsB. are allocated the same amount of carbon consumptionC. can sell their remaining allowance within their limitsD. can sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price53. Carbon taxes work by .A. burdening well-off familiesB. encouraging industries to consume carbonC. raising the price for carbon consumptionD. limiting the carbon consumption of industries only54.The underlined word“cap”in the second paragraph most likely refers to .A. limit B. credit C. level D. rate55. We can learn from the passage .A. carbon taxes are difficult to carry outB. cap-and-trade plays a greater role at presentC. cap-and-trade will be preferable in the futureD. carbon taxes will be preferable in the futureCNow, Earth Daly is celebrated every year on April 22. Take some time to find out about how one man, who was determined to change the way we treated our planet, didnt stop until he had made a difference.In 1963, Senator Gaylord Nelson wasnt happy with the earths condition. He wanted to clean up the planet and solve pollution and environmental problems. As a senator, Gaylord Nelson was someone chosen by US citizens to help make laws, so he had a lot of power. He went to John F. Kennedy, the President at the time, with his concerns. The President agreed that the planets environment was a serious issue, so president Kennedy went around the country on a five -day tour to promote（宣传）the idea of cleaning up the planet. People began making small changes, but is wasnt enough.A few years later, Senator Nelson decided to put one day aside every year for the cause of saving the planet. On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated;20million American demonstrators took part in Earth Day activities. Since then, Earth Day has become an international holiday. People all over the world are doing something to make the earth a cleaner, better place. Today more than 500million people in 164 countries participate（参与）in Earth Day festivities!Then, what can you do to make a difference?Encourage your family to recycle on a regular basis. It is a good way to help the earth! Switch to energy-efficient light bulbs in your house to reduce the effects of global warming.Every glass bottle you recycle saves enough energy to run a TV for an hour and a half, while recycling an aluminum（铝）bottle can save enough energy to run your TV for three hours!Turn out the lights when you leave a roomunless someones still there!Use re-useable containers for your school lunches and snacks.56.What does a senator usually do according to the passage?A.

That was the second largest lottery jackpot in history.More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing .Those who Bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80.The chance of winning was one in 9.6million.

Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens.

The reason is clear: the aging of America means jobs. Besides the aging of body-boom population, a longer life means that the nations elderly population is certain to grow greatly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65,up from 14 percent in 1995.The change causes some problems for government and society, of source .But it also creates jobs in medicine and health fields and in law and business as well.“Besides the doctor, were going to need more sociologists, biologists, city planners and lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern Californias (USC) School of Gerontology.Lawyers can major in “elder law”, which covers everything including nursing-home abuse and age discrimination.
