Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.What can explain and settle this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by manby his desire (欲望) for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization (工业化)” our first aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the achievements of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.Isnt it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It makes one think of the story about the pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker: “Ive some good news and some bad news. The good news is that were making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we are lost and dont know where we are going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when speaking of our modern society.60.

With the development of technology, pollution has become a serious problem.CChinese people are now spending more time surfing the net than watching TV, according to results of a survey by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) published Thursday. The survey of citizens of five Chinese cities, found that 79 percent of interviewees use the internet for information, and 55.1 percent to read news on the Internet. About 63 percent of the interviewees use e-mail. The average times spent surfing the net and watching TV were 2.73 hours and 1.29 hours, respectively.Only 10.4 percent reported use the Internet primarily to send and receive e-mails; 65.9 percent read online news; 62.2 percent quite often play games on-line. More and more people have taken an interest in the entertainment opportunities online. Up to 56.5 percent of interviewees quite often download music, and 53.5 percent get entertainment messages from the Internet.Yet the survey found that television is still the dominant mass medium. 79 percent of interviewees choose to watch TV to get information, and another 75 percent take newspapers as important as TV.Five major web sites in the Chinese language, namely Sina, Sohu, Netease, Baidu and Yahoo are still ranked top ones by web users, and those that voted for Sina as the best among them were 30.9 percent.Authorized statistics showed that web users in China have already exceeded 100 million, second to that of the United States.64.

The underlined word in the last paragraph “exceeded” means _.A. increased to B. increased by C. risen D. raised D A child sits at his desk waiting for the teacher to hand back his test and praying that it is not sprayed with red marks. Fellow students in the classroom know a paper that has several red markings on it will usually receive a lower grade. The child with many red markings on his test will quickly fold the paper and stuff it into his desk in the hope that no one will see his test.There is an education movement to retire the reds for softer colors of purple, green, and blue pens to mark students work. Many educators understand the psychological harm the constant red markings on the paper do to a childs self-esteem. After a child receives his test back with countless red markings there is a rare chance that he will bother to find out his errors. It is too embarrassing in the classroom to examine his errors and also many children do not want to show their parents their red stained test.The purpose of grading a paper or test is to identify the childs weakness and offer suggestions to improve their ability in a specific subject. Red markings are too bold for the student to calmly understand their errors; instead they become upset and begin their self-critical dialogue. No student wants to fail; they just do not know how to excel.All colors have an influence on our state of mind. Red is a powerful color that gives us energy. Colors such as blues and greens are calming colors to the body. Hospitals often have doctors wear blue or green scrubs because it relaxes the patient on a subconscious level. I have never seen a doctor wear red scrubs because it will stress the patient. Remember this when you decide to mark a child paper with red, the color of blood.67. What is the text mainly about?A. How a child sees his test result. B. How to grade a students paper.C. Different influences of colors.D. The harm of using red color in grading students papers.68. A child with many red markings on his test will .A. show his paper to others B. hide his paper from othersC. correct as many errors as possible D. complain to the teacher69. Students will not bother to find out their errors because .A. they have made too many mistakesB. they are ashamed of their papers with red markingsC. they dont
