after repeated exposure E A commonly ignored health threat F Immediate symptoms and regular treatment 76 Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their health but many do not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant health effects Environmental Protection Agency studies indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2 5 times and occasionally more than 100 times higher than outdoor levels These levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular concern because most people spend about 90 of their time indoors 77 There are many sources of indoor air pollution in any home These include combustion sources such as oil gas coal wood and tobacco products building materials and furnishings as diverse as deteriorated asbestos containing insulation wet or damp carpet and cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products products for household cleaning and maintenance personal care or hobbies central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices and outdoor sources such as radon pesticides and outdoor air pollution 78 Immediate effects may show up after a single exposure or repeated exposures These include irritation of the eyes nose and throat headaches dizziness and fatigue Such immediate effects are usually short term and treatable Sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person s exposure to the source of the pollution if it can be identified Symptoms of some diseases including asthma hypersensitivity and fever may also show up soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants 2 79 The likelihood of immediate reactions to indoor air pollutants depends on several factors Age and pre existing medical conditions are two important influences In other cases whether a person reacts to a pollutant depends on individual sensitivity which varies tremendously from person to person Some people can become sensitized to biological pollutants after repeated exposures and it appears that some people can become sensitized to chemical pollutants as well 80 Certain immediate effects are similar to those from colds or other viral diseases so it is often difficult to determine if the symptoms are a result of exposure to indoor air pollution For this reason it is important to pay attention to the time and place the symptoms occur If the symptoms fade or go away when a person is away from the home and return when the person returns an effort should be made to identify indoor air sources that may be possible causes 76 80 EBFAC 崇明县崇明县 Section C Directions Read the following text and choose the

For many people there is a feeling that they could have done much more with their lives and careers They know their talents are mostly undeveloped So what is it that is preventing you from fulfilling your potential 76 All successful people have self confidence They know they have something special to contribute and they are determined to make their mark This does not mean they are arrogant On the contrary they are self critical and push themselves hard because they know they can achieve more What is it that is special about you What is the talent you have not developed What do you know you are capable of 77 It is hard to make progress if you have no clear objectives for your life You should set yourself targets in the areas that are important to you There are many books giving detailed 3 advice on target setting and they reinforce the point that the most important thing is to write your targets down and track progress If you do not achieve some of the goals then reset them You can be flexible and adjust how you move forward but you must keep moving Do you have written objectives you track regularly 78 It is easy and natural to settle into a rut Why try something new when you are already doing what you are good at High achievers go further They take risks They move out of their comfort zones They take on difficult challenges They push themselves to acquire new skills and to face new examinations of their abilities This means that they run the risk of failure Where are you right now inside your comfort zone or taking risks 79 Either you are lazy or you waste a lot of time every day on low value activities Thinking and planning are great but it is action that leads to success It is only by doing things and doing the right things that you change the world If you have clear goals but are not making progress towards them then look at your activity level How high is your work rate And how much time do you waste on activities that do not advance you towards your objectives 80 Let s face it your friends and family are really nice people but they are not challenging you to achieve more Spend more time with high flyers and positive thinkers who understand ambition and achievement Share some of your thoughts dreams and challenges with them They will encourage you and give you the direct advice you need How much time are you spending with really successful people 虹口区虹口区 Section C Directions Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A F for each paragraph There is one extra heading which you do not need A A tool to

1998 4 22 million visitors came to Australia in the year ending June 1998 The main visitors are from Japan New Zealand and United Kingdom This paper attempts to analyze whether Australia has the ability to compete successfully with other countries as it enters the new millennium The analysis will be used as the tool to analyze Australian tourism competitiveness 77 The most obvious strength of Australia is the diversity of natural and manmade attractions Australia has hundreds of national parks many of which are world heritage listed Moreover there are many unique plants and wildlife found nowhere else on earth Conde Nast Traveller magazine has recently ranked Australia as the best desirable destination for travelers in 1998 with Sydney being chosen as the best city in the world Another strength of Australia is the friendliness and easygoing attitude of Australian people which is world famous In addition the mix of Australian population is truly multicultural This cultural diversity reflects in the diversity of art entertainment and cuisine found in Australia Apart from the great mix of culture Aboriginal culture is also another draw card for Australia The recent survey found that 80 of European visitors want to see and experience Aboriginal culture when they come to Australia 78 One of Australia s inherent weaknesses is its geographical isolation This means Australia can not position itself as a mass tourism market However Australian Tourist Commission attempts to change the perception of distance barrier by promoting Australia as the destination that takes only as long to get to as a flight between West coast United States and Europe Restrictive visa policy is another weakness Australia s visa policy is against international trend towards more freedom of international travel In addition visa fee of 50 has been implemented upon the visitors from Asian countries Visa regulation should be relaxed at least to allow free entry for citizens of low risk countries those which have low visa rejection rates and low overstay rates 79 There are several new emerging markets which represent a promising opportunity for Australia These new markets are China India Philippines and South America China in particular is Australia s most promising market because Australia has recently been awarded official tourism destination status by the Chinese government In only one year the number of Chinese tourists has already become the sixth largest market for Australia with the growth of 25 Another opportunity is from backpackers market which is becoming more important over time In addition they tend to stay longer than most average tourists According to Office of National 5 Tourismaverage backpackers stay 72 nights in the country In the year ended March 1997 255 700 international backpackers visited Australia 80 According to the SWOT analysis Australia has capability to compete in the international tourism market for the new millennium It is apparent that there are many strengths and opportunities ahead to make sure that Australia can secure its competitive position However it is important to also recognize that there are some inherent weaknesses and possible threats that could have the impact on Australia s competitiveness These issues need to be dealt with so that the overall competitiveness of Australia will be enhanced Furthermore to be able to compete in the long run it is important to make sure that there is a balance between tourism development and environmental protection It is the beautiful natural environment which draws visitors to Australia in the first place 76 80 CFDBE 黄浦区黄浦区 Section C Directions Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A F for each paragraph There is one extra heading

from A F for each paragraph There is one extra heading which you do not need 7 A Wide spread of Prohibition B Brief introduction to Prohibition C Different comments upon Prohibition D Significant contribution of Prohibition E Serious offences involving Prohibition F Social problems coming about with Prohibition 76 In the United States the age known as Prohibition began when the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution went into effect in 1920 For the next 12 years it was illegal to make sell or transport alcoholic beverages defined as any drinks that were more than one half of one percent 0 05 alcohol 77 Prohibition came about largely because of the growth of the Temperance Movement For almost a century people had praised the benefits of temperance These reformers believed that alcohol was the main cause of disease broken homes poverty and crime Many saw demon rum and John Barleycorn as enemies of a state and productive world By 1916 almost half of the 48 states had passed laws that closed bars and forbade the production of any form of alcoholic beverage 78 Prohibition therefore was an honest effort to improve the health of all Americans to deal with the problems associated with immoderate alcohol consumption and to lower the cost of government involvement Some historians suggest that Prohibition enjoyed widespread support and led to a drop in some forms of crime Others argue that it was the direct cause of increased crime social conflict and new forms of drug abuse Whatever the case the consumption of alcohol stayed common throughout the United States despite the law 79 8 It is hard to assess the impact of Prohibition Bootlegging the illegal manufacture and sale of alcohol was widespread and profitable and illegal private clubs called speakeasies sprang up in place of the saloons that had been closed The Customs Service and the Coast Guard struggled to stop the flood of alcohol coming in from places such as Canada and the Caribbean The period also saw a drop in incomes for the government Taxes could no longer be collected from the buyers and sellers of beer wine and spirits Prison overcrowding was also a problem partly because of disobedience of Prohibition laws 80 Moreover Prohibition related crime quickly became organized Individual criminals developed a network of relationships through which they could control bootlegging and offer protection to illegal bar owners Dishonesty in police and government agencies also became a problem as officers and civil servants were tempted into a profitable association with organized crime Prohibition ended in 1933 with the passage of the Twenty first Amendment The debate regarding its effectiveness continues to this day 76 80 BACFE 金山区金山区 松江区松江区 徐汇区徐汇区 Section C Directions Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A F for each paragraph There is one extra heading which you do not need A Try to know more about your child B Being a daddy is your top priority C Value your child for what he is D Let your child teach you 9 E Time is of the essence F Look for the good and praise it Seven Simple Rules for Dad My main object in life is to make sure I do the best possible job raising Tommy now aged ten That means I have to be the best possible father I can be I am no psychologist but I do see what succeeds with my son and me I also observe other fathers Here is what I have found works best in the dad department 1 76 The key to a happy child is having a dad who is there with him consistently day in and day out It is far better to spend evening after evening just sitting near him while he reads a book or plays on the computer than to spend a couple of hours every Saturday buying him toys or taking in a movie 2 Share your strengths and fears You are your child s ally not his adversary The child who knows that his father was once afraid of the dark and is still afraid of needles gets to know that his own weaknesses are part of mankind not a unique shame 3 77 Encouragement is the primary engine of human development I have been telling Tommy for a year now that he is a whiz in math because I know he can calculate in a nanosecond the number of toys he can buy with his allowance Now he s a whiz in math at school too Consistent recognition of a child s strengths is more important by far than vitamins You deny it to them at their peril and yours 4 Do not allow your children to be rude My son is expected to share answer others when they greet him and congratulate those who succeed By teaching him about politeness I make sure he realizes that others feelings are worth 10 taking into account If he can get that into his little towhead he will have learned the most basic foundation of human interaction 5 78 A common misstatement about child development is that kids don t come with instruction manuals 操作指南 Not true they do They tell you when they re hungry They tell you when they re lonely or scared They are like little guided tours of themselves Children will tell you what they want although not always with words Fatigue irritability and sadness are ways of telling Dad what they need Look and listen 6 79
