Now it is an ecological disaster area. Naurus heartbreaking story could have one good result other countries might learn from its mistakes. For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the distant island of Nauru, far from western civilization (文明). The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island. However, because it was very distant, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These things destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900. Naurus real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer (肥料) for farming. The company began mining the phosphate. A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip (带状的) mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon. In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately, the leaders used the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen. 41. What might be the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To find help for Naurus problems.B. To give a warning to other countries.C. To show the importance of money.D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.42. What might Nauru be like before the Europeans came?A. RichB. Modern C. PeacefulD. Developed43. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _.A. soil pollutionB. phosphate over miningC. farming activityD. whale hunting44. Which of the following was a cause of Naurus financial problem? _.A. Its leaders misused the money B. It spent too much repairing the islandC. Its phosphate mining cost much money D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war45. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A. The phosphate mines were destroyed. B. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.C. The island was given up by the Nauruans. D. The leaders will think over the experts words.B Enjoy a museum visit with your class!

CFour years ago my sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.I got the call at work, and I headed home quickly. Mom and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception.My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land and loved to work in the garden among her flowers and vegetables. The place was simple, with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me.In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite song was “Moon River” and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk. She loved to tell how my playpen（婴儿圈栏）sat in the kitchen next to the radio and there was one song I particularly loved called “Ivory Tower”. As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit the farm every week or two. The kids loved the farm and the tractor rides with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle（喧闹）of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced.Now, I sat back in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me.My heart skipped a beat. “Moon River” was playing on the radio. I sat there quiet, with a tear running down my cheek, as I listened to every familiar note.Then the radio announcer of this oldie station came on. “Heres one we havent heard in a while,” and an unfamiliar song began. I began to cry harder as I heard the words sung over the airwaves. “Come down, come down from your Ivory Tower.”.51. The writer didnt like staying on the farm for the following reasons EXCEPT that _.A. it was too cold and quietB. she could only sing one song on the small farmC. there was nothing more that could make her excitedD.

Moms musicDA recent study, published in last weeks Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a deadly accident as a teenager driving alone. However, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.The authors also found that the death rates (比率) for teenage drivers increased after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic problem”, he says, “is that adults (成人) who are responsible for issuing licenses (签发执照) fail to recognize how difficult and skilled task the driving is.”Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to make the problem less serious is to build a graduated licensing systems, in which one needs to go several processes to get a full license. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with passenger restrictions (限制), before graduating to full driving license.Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, says a recent study. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states have restrictions on passengers. California is the strictest, with a beginner driver forbidding carrying any passenger under 20 for the first six months.56. Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?A. Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.B. A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.C. Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.D. A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway a
