risks to people and the global environment according to analysis Researches from Yale and Stanford predict that by 2030 urban areas will expand by 590 000 square miles nearly the size of Mongolia to meet the needs of 1 47 billion more people living in urban areas It is likely that these cities are going to be developed in places that are the most biologically diverse said Karen Seto a famous scientist at Yale University They are going to be growing and expanding into forests biological hotspots savannas 热带稀缺大草原 coastlines sensitive and vulnerable places Urban areas they found have been expanding more rapidly along coasts Of all the places for cities to grow coasts are the most sensitive People and buildings along the coast are at risk of flooding and other environmental disasters said Seto The study provides the first estimate of how fast urban areas globally are growing and how fast they may grow in the future We know a lot about global patterns of urban population growth but we know significantly less about how 4 urban areas are changing she said Changes in land cover associated with urbanization lead to many environmental changes from habitats loss and agricultural land conversion 转化 to changes in local and regional climate The researchers examined studies that used satellite data to map urban growth and found that from 1970 to 2000 the world s urban footprint had grown by at least 22 400 square miles half the size of Ohio This number is numerous but in actuality urban land expansion has been far greater than what our analysis shows because we only looked at the published studies that used satellite data said Seto We found that 48 of the most populated urban areas have been studied using satellite data with findings in journals This means that we re not tracking the physical expansion of more than half of the world s largest cities Half of urban land expansion in China is driven by a rising middle class whereas the size of cities in India and Africa is driven primarily by population growth Rising incomes translate into rising demand for bigger homes and more land for urban development which has a great effect on biodiversity conservations loss of carbon sinks and energy use 41 According to the passage the most dangerous place for city expansion is the A forestB desertC savannasD coastline 42 The underlined word vulnerable in Para 3 probably means A diverse in plantsB beautiful in scenery C easily damagedD very productive 43 From Para 5 we can infer that A urbanization is a good way to improve people s standards of living B cities develop very fast and more and more people come to live in cities C more and more agricultural farmlands are used to make room for local animals D in the past researchers focused their attention on the expanding urban areas 44 Cities in Africa become bigger and bigger mainly because of their A growing populationB rising middle class C unique living patternsD economic development 45 Faced with a tough job market fresh graduates are dreaming of running their own businesses instead But a recent survey has showed that such ambitions lack the required support and remain just that dreams The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Center poll of 1 276 graduates in several universities and colleges in the city released last Friday showed 59 78 percent of respondents considered the possibility of setting up a company or at least a small store But they just stop at the thinking stage it stated Respondents put the top reasons for not going it alone down to a shortage of investment and a lack of business opportunity They also listed lack of business experience and social networks the need to advanced study and objections from family members as factors that stood in their way 5 More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating and then consider starting their own business two or three years down the road Guo Bing a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English decided he wanted to be his own boss last year But he is looking for a job first If I fail to find a satisfying job I would like to establish a company in exhibition services Guo said The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant With their help Guo hopes to produce exhibition brochures 小册子 at a relatively low price He is also confident that his English language skills can help him do well in the industry Social networking is an important factor leading to business success Guo said Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to set up a business right after their graduation Jiang Ye deputy director of Yangpu District Business Guide Center said the university sets up a business guide team made of government officials and professionals They regularly give training courses to students who show an interest in having their own business The parents of university graduates are more willing to help their children start up alone the survey showed Once you win the support of your family you have won half the battle Guo added 1

in adovating good effective public health policies New York City has banned smoking in public places both indoors and outdoors That is a fantastic example of what can be done without having any impact

which is always puzzling us If you follow suggestions below I m sure you ll find the solution easily 51 Your interest in the subject is the essential driver of success You can t 7 learn what you do not want to learn Emotion is an important part of the learning process If you are even moderately interested in a subject give yourself a chance The key is to get started If you can create some pleasurable routines you may find that the subject grows on you You must always remember learning is just like eating You don t expect to enjoy your food without appetite 食欲 Therefore you should always try to arouse your interest and desire for knowledge if you want to learn well 52 Don t expect to understand things or remember too much the first time you study them Think about what problem you will meet with in your study so that you are well prepared for it Never be disappointed no matter what happens Trust that things will get clearer as your brain comes to get new information It is like a jig saw puzzle or a cross word puzzle 纵横填字游戏 As you start to put the pieces together or string the words together the full picture becomes clearer The brain learns all the time but on its own schedule Learning does not take place according to a schedule laid down by a curriculum or teacher Keep at it and you will gradually find that things that seem difficult at first will become second nature with time 53 Your brain is struggling to form patterns to cope with new input from your learning activities Sometimes no matter how long you focus on one subject your brain is not going to pick it up If you are stuck move on Then cover the same general information from a different source a different book or a blog or an online lecture or a video Try to become a grazing learner wandering about the countryside rather than a feed lot learner just standing there in one spot chewing the same bale of hay The broader your base the easier it is to learn Just as the rich get richer the more you know the more you can learn 54 Take full advantage of the Internet blogs and various mobile devices not to mention good old fashioned books and magazines Learn during dead time Listen in your car on the train or while jogging Have your learning with you while waiting in the doctor s office or listen while checking out at the supermarket Anytime is learning time Remember you are learning through exposure not by nailing things down It is more like moisture accumulation in a cloud rather than building a brick wall 55 The loneliness of the distance learner is a thing of the past Join a learning community on the web where members share their knowledge and experience Search for the communities that suit your interests and learning styles You will find encouragement advice and stimulus from fellow learners as well a
