to get it on their clothes And there are good reasons to be wary soil often contains bacteria parasites and pollutants that can make people sick With so many risks it is no surprise that many people find geophagy literally the eating of earth or soil unappetizing Yet geophagy is actually a relatively common practice in many parts of the world Since people tend to be very selective about which soils they eat the practice has also created a thriving industry In Nigeria the village of Uzalla annually processes over 500 tons of its prized soil for sale and consumption in markets hundreds of kilometers away Geophagy also has a long history in the U S where some eat clay and ship packages of it to relatives far from home Soil is also sold as a nutritional supplement similar to vitamins in some parts of Asia The fact that the eating of soil is also widespread in the animal kingdom suggests that geophagy may even be a natural process Some soils are surprisingly rich in minerals and nutrients such as iron and copper People can often get more of these nutrients from geophagy than from taking vitamin supplements This may be why geophagists often claim to like the sour taste of dirt and to have cravings for it It may also explain why geophagy is often most common among pregnant women and nursing mothers 专心 爱心 用心3 In some cases soil can make dangerous foods safe to consume People have long known that certain poisonous wild acorns and potatoes become edible when mixed with soil Sometimes soil is even taken as medicine Many stomach medications contain the clay Kaolin because it absorbs bacteria and toxins that cause diarrhea Unfortunately geophagy is also practiced to avoid hunger pains when other food is scarce In poor countries food can become so expensive that people substitute soil for flour or rice This is a serious social problem because even mineral rich soils can t provide a balanced diet Eating dirt may not be key to a healthy diet but sometimes it may not be so bad after all 26 What does the underlined word wary mean in Paragraph 1 A ignorable B cautious C indifferent D relieved 27 In the 2nd paragraph many examples about eating soils are listed to

爱心 用心6 most of us thought and it will go on for a very long time Even if greenhouse gas emissions 排放 stopped tomorrow the oceans will continue to become larger as they get warm The climate scientists estimate that sea level rise may be in the range of 1 to 2 meters by 2100 with a small risk of an even greater rise For many islands and low lying regions even small rises will cause disasters Most countries however will only lose a tiny percentage of their land even with a very big rise The problem is what has been built on that land New York Sydney and Tokyo to mention just a few cities Unless something can be done great areas of urban network will disappear under the waves It will take a great engineering effort to protect these cities an effort that may be beyond economies that have been brought to their knees None of this means we should fear and stop trying to forbid emissions But together with these efforts we need to start acting now to lessen the impact of future sea level rise That means we must stop building in danger zones Billions of dollars are being spent on constructing homes offices and roads in vulnerable 脆弱的 coastal areas For instance the skyscrapers of Shanghai are being built on land that is mere 4 meters above sea level on average and which is sinking under the weight of the buildings and as water is drawn from the rocks beneath them In cities that have been around for hundreds of years this sort of development may be understandable But planning for new coastal developments is to go against reality If we want to build a lasting heritage for our children we should do so on the plentiful land that is in no danger from the sea It is one of the easiest ways to slow down climate change and we should be acting on it now 41 What is the major cause of the rising sea levels A Greenhouse gas emission B Overdevelopment C Governments indecision D Climate changes 42 New York Sydney and Tokyo are mentioned to illustrate the idea that A world economy
