But remember, sea water is too salty for us to drink if the factories dont process it first. So, 620 m3 is little. Saving water in daily use is important.0.5 hectares of forestsThere are 3.869 billion hectares(公顷) of forests on Earth. But we are losing them mainly because we cut trees too much. If we calculate（计算）at the size of a football field, we are losing 343,000 football fields every day, or 1,431 per hour, or 24 per minute!1.5 centimeters long corals(珊瑚)All the corals that we have now spread for about 100,000 km in 109 countries. But each of us can only have such a little piece, because seas are getting polluted and corals are dying.33 starsAccording to the latest report, there are 200 billion stars in the Milky Way. Each of us can have 33 of them. Unfortunately, we cannot see most of the 200 billion stars from Earth. We can only see about 6,000 stars.

About 1/3 of the worlds population has English as its mother tongue. 75% of the world s mail is in English.English is the official language or is widely used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India, United Arab Ernirates, Canada, the United States, Panama, Surinam, South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya. English is the language that is most often studied as a foreign language in the European Union (by 89% of schoolchildren), followed by French (32%), German (l8%), and Spanish (8%). It is also the most studied in China, Japan, and South Korea. Books, magazines, and newspapers are written in English in many countries around the world. English is also the widest used language in science. In 1997, the Science Citation Index reported that 95% of its articles were written in English, but only half of their authors came from English-speaking countries.Why has English become a world language? The British colonized (使殖民地) large parts of the world, spreading their language to new areas. The United Kingdom and the United States are both important nations in the world. When doing business with these nations, knowing English is an advantage. As non-English-speaking countries-realized that, industry and business hired people who spoke English, or required their workers to attend language courses. English is the international language of technology.With English being so widespread, it can make those who come from English-speaking countries already feel that they dont need to learn a foreign language. This is not good because one learns to understand a culture better if one knows the language, and one may also enjoy reading original books.44. The following are all the reasons for English to be widely used EXCEPT that.A. the U.K. and the US were both developed countriesB. the British once colonized large parts of the worldC. English-speaking people worked in many countriesD. many schools asked the students to study English45. In the European Union which foreign language is studied by the fewest people?A. French. B. German. C. Spanish. D. English.46. From this passage we can learn that _.A. why English has become a world languageB. one must study English as a world languageC. English has gained status as a world languageD. if you don t study English you ll fall behindDYoure sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly, youre yawning with him, though youre not tired. This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious(有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words. Hugo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critechley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how were feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(内部的) responses,” he explained. “ There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expression. When were in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, theres the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronies and when we like the other person, we even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, pay attention to how youre sitting its pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe its our way of telling each other that were partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle(微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions.”So, what lessons can we learn from this? “ Spend time with happy people otherwise your health could suffer,” said Critchley.” When were sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when were happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us.”47. According to Hugo Critchley, _. A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions.48. The underlined word “synchronies” in Paragraph 4 means “_”. A. move slowly B. change rapidly C. relax temporarily D. respond accordingly 49. From the passage we can learn _. A. sadness is as contagious as happiness B. anger is less contagious than friendliness C. surprise is more contagious than smile D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions50. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.BChildren like copying the actions of fellow humans.C.Why people follow others yawning is a mystery.D. People tend to communicate more with body language.四、根据首字母和所给的中文，用单词的适当形式填空。(10)51.There is no hard e_ that John stole the wallet.52.Detective Sam Peterson was asked about the _ (可能性) that Justin was taken by aliens.53.What a _ (巧合)that I was in Paris at the same time as you.54.He likes leading a life of _(冒险).And he has had many adventurous experiences.55.Columbus, a great _ (探险家), discovered the New World in 1492.56.The police felt very p_ when the boy who is called Justin went missing suddenly.57.After the operation, the doctor told us not to d_ the patient and let him have a good rest.58.
