AThe dust storm didnt blow up to the coastal regions of Australia BThe level of air pollution was very high due to the dust storm CPeople called the emergency service because they had got lost DChildren stayed indoors for the schooling had been cancelled43From the passage we can see that ATanya Ferguson lives in the Australian outback at the moment Ba bush fire may have brought the orange dust along the coast Cthis terrible sandstorm lasted about 24 hours after it hit the city DSydneys landmarks were out of sight when the storm happened44The tone of the article is Aworried Bsympathetic Cobjective DangryB Economists usually study marketsNow，two Americans have won the Nobel Prize in economics for not studying marketsThey will share almost one and a half million dollars for their analysis of economic governance(治理)The winners are Elinor Ostrom of Indiana University in Bloomington and Oliver Williamson of the University of California，BerkeleyThe prize in economic sciences has gone to 63 men since it was first awarded 40 years agoElinor Ostrom is the first womanAnd，like other winners over the years，her training is not limited to economicsShe is a professor of political science and of public and environmental affairs Today，economic theory suggests that good resource management requires ownership，either private or publicIf not，the thinking goes，then self-interest will lead to overuse and destruction of shared resourcesEcologist Garrett Hardin described this idea in 1968 as“the tragedy of the commons” Elinor Ostrom showed how local decision making can lessen the tragedyHer research has deepened understanding of how people balance their needs with those of others who depend on the same resources She studied communities like farmers in Southern California who depended on a common water supply She documented how people who use resources often develop ways to share themOne example is forest managementShe says，“One of the absolutely key，most important variables(变量)as to whether or not a forest survives and continues is whether local people monitor each other and its useNot officials，locals” Oliver Williamson has studied big companies and found that they often are better than markets at doing complex jobsUnder his theory，businesses act as structures for conflict resolution For example，companies that own their suppliers can avoid long-term contracts and disputes over pricesThis can make production more efficient and make better use of limited resourcesBut businesses can also abuse their powerProfessor Williamson says the best way to deal with this is not by limiting the size of companies，but through industry regulation The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said economists need to do more than study markets and pricesThe Nobel judges urged more research like the kind they recognized with this years award45According to Elinor Ostrom， Athe tragedy of the commons is caused by local decision Bprivate ownership can cause the tragedy of the commons Coveruse of shared resources can cause the tragedy of the commons Dit is not the officials but the local people who can do something to avoid the tragedy46This years Nobel Prize for economics is shared by AElinor Ostrom and Oliver Williamson BElinor Ostrom and Garrett Hardin COliver Williamson and Garrett Hardin D63 economic scientists47Professor Williamson proved that long-term contracts and disputes over prices can be avoided by big companies by A1imiting the size of other companies Bproviding sufficient production Csharing resources with their own suppliers Dsetting up their own industry regulation48Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage? ATwo American Economists Won the Nobel Prize for Studying Markets BResearchers of Economic Governance Won the Nobel Prize for Economics CFirst Woman to Win the Nobel Prize for Economic Strategies DThe Tragedy of the Commons and the Big BusinessesC Zanzibar，Tanzania-Hundreds of dead dolphins were washed up on Friday along the shore of a popular tourist place on Tanzanias northern coastScientists have ruled out poisoning It was not immediately clear what killed the 400 dolphins，whose dead bodies lied along a 4-kilometer coast of Nungwi，said Narriman Jidawi，a marine biologist at the Institute of Marine Science in ZanzibarBut the bottleneck dolphins，which live in deep offshore waters，had empty stomachs，meaning they could have got lost and had been swimming for some time to reorient themselvesThey did not die of hunger and were not poisoned，Jidawi said In the US，experts were looking into the possibility that sonar(声呐)from the US submarine could have caused a similar incident in Marothon，Florida，where 68 deep-water dolphins stranded(搁浅)themselves in March 2005 The deaths are a blow to the tourism industry in Zanzibar，where thousands of visitors go to watch and swim with dolphinsVillagers，fishermen and hotel residents found the dead bodies and told officialsMussa Aboud，Zanzibars director of fisheries，went on state radio to warn the public against eating the dolphinsmeat，saying the cause of death had not been found The Indo-Pacific bottlenose，commonly known as dolphins，are the most common species in Zanzibars coastal waters，with bottlenose and humpback dolphins often found in mixed-species groups49According to the passage，the bottleneck dolphins Aare often attacked by submarine in deep waterBfind it hard to find enough food near the coast Coften fall ill along the shore of a tourist place D1ike living in the deep waters near the coast50The underlined word “reorient” means Alose their way Bfind their way Clook for food Dfight against enemies51What can we infer from the passage? AThe dolphins died because of the sonar from US submarines BThe dead dolphins can not be eaten as they are poisonous CThe US experts are researching sonar at present DThe ability of locating is extremely important for dolphins52What would be the best title for the passage? A400 dolphins died along the coast of NungwiBDolphins are facing increased risk of death CIts necessary for us to protect dolphins DNungwi is famous for many dolphins thereD Men and women who serve in the United States armed forces are proud of the names like doughboy and GI JoeThe names have come from the American Civil War After the American Civil War in the eighteen sixties，a writer in a publication called Beadles Monthly used the word doughboy to describe Civil War soldiersBut word expert Charles Funk says that early writer could not explain where the name started About twenty years later，someone did explainShe was the wife of the famous American general George CusterElizabeth Custer wrote that a doughboy was a sweet food served to Navy men on shipsShe also said the name was given to the large buttons on the clothes of soldiersFor example，the soldiers enjoyed their new GI very muchThey looked smart and felt comfortableElizabeth Custer believed the name changed over time to mean the soldiers themselves By World War Two，soldiers were called other namesThe one most often heard was GI, or GI JoeMost people say the letters GI were a short way to say general issue or government issueThe name came to mean several thingsIt could mean the soldier himselfIt could mean things given to soldiers when they joined the military such as weapons，equipment or clothesAnd，for some reason，it could mean to organize，or cleanSoldiers often say，“We GId the place”And when an area looks goodsoldiers may say the area is“GI”Strangely，though，GI can also mean poor work，a job badly done Some students of military words have another explanation of GIThey say that instead of government issue or general issue，GI came from the words galvanized ironThe American soldier was said to be like galvanized iron，a material produced for special strengthThe Dictionary of Soldier Talk says GI was used for the words galvanized iron in a publication about the vehicles of the early twentieth century Today，a doughboy or GI may be called a grunt(咕哝声)Nobody is sure of the exact beginning of the wordBut，the best idea probably is that the name comes from the sound that troops make when ordered to march long distances carrying heavy equipment53Originally the word“doughboy”referred to Athe American Civil War Ba word expert in the 1860s Cthe American Civil War writersDa sweet food and the buttons54It was who found how the name doughboy came about AElizabeth Custer BGeorge Custer CCharles Funk DBeadles Monthly55What does GI mean in the example in Paragraph 4 ?
