following on the heels of yao, throwing themselves into serving the public as goodwill ambassadors for wild animal rescue. recent reports about yaos retirement have saddened tens of thousands of basketball fans both at home and abroad. yet yaos influence goes far beyond the basketball courts. yao has engaged himself in charity and public welfare services for quite a while. when the devastating 8.0-magnitude earthquake hit wenchuan in southwest china in 2008, yao donated 2 million yuan . when i was a little boy, my parents and teachers told me to help others and to be a good man, yao recalled. but i could not donate then because i had not much pocket money. after i moved to houston, i got involved in quite a number of community service activities and i felt a strong sense of achievement when i got people together, yao said. like yao, newly crowned french open champion li na has showed her willingness to donate. li gave 480,000 yuan of her prize money from the open, plus 20,000 yuan from her own pocket, to a local nursing home in her hometown. another chinese sports icon, hurdler liu xiang, has also been actively involved in charity for years.26. the reason why some

terrifying hurricane and constructions representing human civilization being destroyed and even swallowed by disaster. luckily, they are just the director s imagination, but the present situation is not heading a positive direction, either. take my own experience in alaska as an example. once i took a trip to the glacier. along the way there stood signposts marking the snow lines of different years. they started from the foot of the mountain, but it was at the top when i finally saw melting glaciers(融化的冰川). my heart ached seeing the beautiful blue ice melting at every second. sad but true, they are the effects of global warming and the result of our human impact. furthermore, each year the rising sea level will kill 56 million people, and thats about the population of the entire italy. according to studies, if the temperature keeps on rising like this, by the year 2050, some islands and coastal cities including new york, shanghai, tokyo and sydney will be drowned in water. our fortune is in our own hands. it depends on us to shape our future, to reduce future human impact and find ways to form a peaceful relationship with our environment. therefore, its time for actions to be taken right now. contribute a little to energy saving by using more efficient light bulbs and less hot water. let recycle become our habit by thinking twice before throwing something away. let us take public transportation as our first choice when going to a certain place. it might cost more time for now, but it s to the benefit of a permanent future. take care of every tree and grass around us by watering them or simply just avoid destroying them. in a word, small drops of water make a big ocean. the earth does not belong to us. on the contrary, we belong to the earth. please bear in mind that the earth is our home. it is our responsibility to build a brighter and better future of our planet and prevent what happened in the movie 2012 from becoming reality. 31. why does the author talk about the movie 2012 in the passage ?a. to give example. b. to lead into the topic. c. to make prediction. d. to provide the evidence. 32. how did the author feel when he took a trip to the glacier?a. worried. b. puzzled. c. scared. d. bored. 33. it can be inferred from the third paragraph that_ .a. 56 million people in italy have been killed owing to the rising sea levelb. some islands and coastal cities will be drowned in water by the year of 2050c. human being will be in danger if we dont take actions to prevent the global warmingd. it is certain that what happened in the movie

protect the ocean. c. everyone together can make a difference. d. its important to save every drop of water. cwhen you get in your car, you reach for it. when youre at work, you take a break to have a moment alone with it. when you get into a lift, you play with it. cigarette? cup of coffee? no, its the third most addictive thing in modem life, the cell phone. and experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to curb their longing to hug it more tightly than most of their personal relationships. the costs are becoming more and more evident, and i dont mean just the monthly bill. dr. chris knippers, a counselor at the betty ford center in southern california, reports that the overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions: a barrier to one-on-one personal contact, and an escape from reality. sounds extreme, but we ve all witnessed the evidence: the person at a restaurant who talks on the phone through an entire meal, ignoring his kids around the table; the woman who talks on the phone in the car, ignoring her husband; the teen who texts messages all the way home from school, avoiding contact with kids all around him. jim williams, an industrial sociologist based in massachusetts, notes that cell - phone addiction is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. he points to a study by duke university researchers that found one-quarter of americans say they have no one to discuss their most important personal business with. despite the growing use of phones, e - mail and instant messaging, in other words, williams says studies show that we dont have as many friends as our parents. just as more information has led to less wisdom, more acquaintances via the internet and cell phones have produced fewer friends, he says. if the cell phone has truly had these effects, its because it has become very widespread. consider that in 1987, there were only l million cell phones in use. today, something like 300 million americans carry them. they far outnumber wired phones in the united states. 36. from the first two paragraphs, we can know_. a. cell phones have become as addictive as cigarettesb. cell phone addiction is good for building personal relationshipsc. people are longing to have their own cell phonesd. cell phones are the same as cigarettes37. cell phone addiction has caused the following effects except_ .a. a barrier to personal contact b. fewer friendsc. an escape from reality d. a serious illness38. the underlined word curb in paragraph 2 means “_. ”a. ignore b. control c. develop d. rescue39. the example of a woman talking on the phone in the car supports the idea that_ .a. women use cell phones more often than menb. talking on the phone while driving is dangerousc. cell phones do not necessarily bring people togetherd. cell phones make one - on - one personal contact easy40. which of the following is the best title for the passage?a. cell phones are the new cigarettesb. cell phones are harmful to the societyc. the new report about the cell phoned. the disadvantages of the cell phoneddeath valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous extremes. death valley can be dangerously cold during the winter months. storms in the mountains can produce sudden flooding on the floor of the valley. the air temperature during the summer has been as high as fifty- seven degrees celsius. the sun can heat the ground so that the temperature of the rocks and soil can be as high as seventy -four degrees celsius. death valley contains evidence of several ancient volcanoes that caused huge explosions. evidence of one of these explosions is called ubehebe crater. the explosion left a huge hole in the ground almost a kilometer and a half wide. in many areas of death valley it is easy to see where the ground has been pushed up violently by movement deep in the earth. this movement has created unusual and beautiful rock formations. some are red.
