In a report published today, Oxfam, Greenpeace, Christian Aid, Friends of the Earth, WWF and 15 other groups say rich governments must immediately address climate change to avoid even “unbearable levels” of worldwide poverty. “Food production, water supplies, public health and peoples living environment are already being damaged,” the report says. “The world must meet its promise to achieve poverty reduction and also deal with climate change.”The report, which draws on UN predictions of the effects of climate change in poor countries over the next 50 years, says poor countries will experience more flooding, declining food production, more disease and the worsening or disappearing of entire ecosystems(生态系统)on which many of the worlds poorest people depend. “Climate change needs to be addressed now. The poor will bear the burden of it. The frontline experience of many of us working in international development indicates that communities are having to fight against more extreme weather conditions.”Climate change will play havoc(浩劫)with agriculture and water supplies and will increase diseases. “By 2025 the proportion of the worlds population living in countries of great water stress will almost double, to 6 billion people. Tropical and sub-tropical areas will be hardest hit those countries already suffering from food shortage”. Poor countries mostly do not need high-tech solutions, but would most benefit from education, research and being shown how to farm better. The report says unchecked global warming, more than wars or political confusion, will displace millions of people and destabilize (不安定) many countries.8. _ should play a leading role in resisting the more extreme weather conditions according to the report.A. International groups B. Poor countries C. Rich countries D. Tropical and sub-tropical countries9. Which of the following is not the effect of global warming according to the report?A.

Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. Poverty and climate change are closely linked.B. More and more people will suffer from the water stress and food shortage.C. What the poor countries need badly is high technology.D. International communities have to take steps to resist the bad climate.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. International Development Brings in Climate Change B. Global Warming Is a Bigger Threat to Poor C. International Groups Work Together to Reduce PovertyD. Worldwide Poverty Shall Be Avoided DAmerica is growing older. Fifty - eight years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 10 or older. To day, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 10. The aging of the population will affect（影响）American society in many wayseducation, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different societyone in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior（行为） is suitable（合适）at various , ages.A person s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. Theres no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isnt as strong as it used to be. It doesnt surprise us to hear of a 29 - year - old university president or a 35 - year -old grandmother, or a 15 year - old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age. ”No one says“Act your age” any more. Weve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.12It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America _ .A. has made people feel younger B. has changed peoples social positionC. has changed peoples understanding of age D. has slowed down the countrys social development13The underlined word “one”refers to _ .A. a societyB. America C. a placeD. population14” Act your age” means people should _ .A. be active when they are oldB. do the right thing at the right ageC. show respect for their parents young or oldD. take more physical exercise suitable to their age15If a 25 - year - old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _ .A. normalB. wonderful C. unbelievableD. unreasonableEThe way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment （预担的义务）, self - improvement.Ask a bachelor（单身汉） why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three - day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.16According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement17Raising children, in the authors opinion is _ .A. a moral duty B. a thankless jobC. a rewarding task D. a source of inevitable pain18From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from _ .A. hatredB. misunderstanding C. prejudiceD. ignorance19To understand what true happiness is one must _ .A. have as much fun as possible during ones lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun20What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with painB. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happiness.答案与解析：1.C原文谈到O型血的人作领导，会尽力做好想做的事情，又十分自信。但不太在意别人的感受。因而答案选C。2. C原文第三段有相关信息。3.D原文第四段说明B型血的人是有适应性并能够适应环境的。4. C本文最后一段提及AB血型的人是天生的演艺人员。因而答案选C。1D提示：俄罗斯青年对中国文化感兴趣，总统的一个女儿也在学习汉语，这说明两国关系正常，相互信任。5C提示：题干要求判断所给选项中哪类人不适合服用此种药品，根据2）中“Not for Children under six years old and persons with heart at take”可知应选C.6A提示：根据药品说明书中4）可知，一位患了感冒的成年人，一次可服用此药五片，每日三次，可以在三餐之前或睡觉前服用。由此可排除B、C、D选项，答案为A。7D提示：题干考查有多少种药物适合6岁儿童服用，根据药品说明书1）中的“For Children six to twelve years old，go to your doctor for advice”2）中的“Not for children under six years old and old persons with heart attack”3）中的“Half for Children under 12 years oldChildren with a high fever，go to see a doctor”可知答案为D。8. C 细节题。根据第二段中的“rich governments must immediately address climate change to avoid even unbearable levels of worldwide poverty”一句的意义可知：财力富足的政府必须立即致力于改变日益恶化的气候条件，以免全球范围内的贫穷上升到无法忍受的程度。由此可判断富裕国家应该起主导作用。9. B 归纳题。文章第四段提到：气候变化将导致愈演愈烈的洪灾，不断衰减的粮食生产，疾病的威胁以及整个生态系统的退化甚至消失。文章最后一句又说：尚未得到抑制的全球变暖比战争和政变更可怕，它将迫使数百万人口迁移，动摇很多国家的安定局面。而B项在短文中没有提及。10. C 判断题。短文最后一段表述的意义是：对贫穷的社会来说，它们几乎不需要高科技的解决方案，但是教育、科研以及教授更好地耕作方式将使它们受益最多。此据判断可知。11. B 主旨题。短文第一段第一句就表述了全文的中心，其意义是：据全球主要的国际发展组织推测，全球 变暖不但威胁着人类发展的进程，有可能使之倒退，而且联合国所有减少贫穷的目标和计划都将无法实现。由此可简述为：全球气候变暖加剧贫穷。12C提示：短文将美国社会拟人化，把age和gray这两个常用作名词的词当做动词用时，比喻美国社会人口的老龄化，并说明了人口老龄化给整个社会，特别是给人们对年龄问题的理解带来的变化。13A提示：one用以代替上文中所提到过的一个名词a （different）society，是泛指的用法，并不特指美国社会。14B提示：“Act your age”就是第一段最后一句话中所提到的idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages在不同的年龄什么样的行为是合适的。15A提示：此题为一主观题，要求考生判断作者态度。第二段的最后两句话和最后一段的最后一句都反映了作者的态度，“It doesnt surprise us to hear
