It is an extremely serious problem in some developing countries. For these countries, economic growth is a very important aim. They want to introduce industries, and so they put no controls on industries that cause pollution. Cubatao, an industrial town of 85,000 people in Brazil is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao had no industry. Today it had more than twenty large factories, which produce many pollutants（污染物质）. The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matters in their surroundings, and the bad effects can be clearly seen. Birth shortcomings are extremely common. Among children and grownups, lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places.It is true that Brazil, like many other countries, had laws against pollution, but these laws are not carried out strictly enough. It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers. However, the responsibility does not completely lie in the Brazilian government. The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either. A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France, Italy, and the US. They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home. If they caused the same amount of pollution at home, they would be severely punished or even put out of business.21. Developing countries dont have strict pollution controls because _A. the new industries they want to introduce do not cause much pollutionB. pollution is not a serious problem for developing countriesC. they dont realize that the balance of nature will be destroyed by some pollutantsD. If they put stricter controls on industries, fewer companies would build new plants in developing countries22. The authors purpose in naming Cubatao is to show that _A. industry can develop very fast in developing countriesB. the pollution problem in Brazil is extremely seriousC. industries growth can cause pollution problems for developing countriesD. pollution is killing many people and destroying the whole economy of Brazil23. How is the health of the population of Cubatao?A. There are more heart diseases among people who live near chemical factories.B. More people suffer from lung disease because of poisonous matters.C. Their health is affected by pollutants the way as that of other Brazilians.D. Babies there are found not as bright as those who live in other places.24. Some foreign companies like to set up their plants in Brazil because they _A. think Brazil is suitable for them to invest in BrazilB. will not be severely punished if they cause pollution is BrazilC. can make much money and they do not have to pay Brazilian workers muchD. can act in an irresponsible way in Brazil where there are no pollution lawsBFifty people died, over 11,000 were injured, and 100,000 houses were heavily damaged or destroyed in an earthquake that struck North Chinas Hebei Province.The quake, measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale (里氏6.2级), hit the area 220km northwest of Beijing at 11: 50 a. m. on January 10, 1998.Scientists made a report of the recent quake. They said that the area of northwestern Beijing, the joint of Shanxi and Hebei Provinces and the Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) were most easily attacked by earthquakes measuring 6 to a bit over 7 on the Richter scale.However, scientists did not see the recent earthquake earlier. Clouds covered a large area in the northern part of North China before the earthquake and experts say that this prevented satellites from correctly watching the temperature at the correct altitude (纬度).Experts say that in the last ten years, about 305 earthquakes have taken place in China with 9 measuring over 7 on the Richter scale, 60 measuring over 6, and 236 measuring over 5.Tens of thousands of people died or were injured. Loss(损失) valued over 10 billion yuan.25. When the earthquake attacked the area, most people there were unlikely to _.A. sleep in bed B. work in the fieldsC. walk in the streets D. stay at home26.

Which of the following can be reasonable except _.A. We can not stop earthquakesB. Scientists are working hard at the researches on earthquakesC. We can do our best to have fewer damages than everD. Nothing can be done on earthquakesCThe gigantic（巨大的） dam of the multi-function water control facility would be finished nine months ahead of schedule, said an engineer who is in charge of the Three Gorges Project. He said by June, the workers would have built the half-done dam from the southern bank of the river to the height of 185 meters. The Three Gorges Project will be capable of controlling the floods on the Yangtze by then and generating more electricity. And the level of the water stored in the reservoir（水库）will rise from 135 meters at present to 156 meters.Situated near the Xiling Gorge, the easternmost gorge of the Three Gorges on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the Three Gorges Dam is designed to have a length of 2,309 meters and a height of 185 meters.It will also have the functions for flood control, power generation and navigation（航运）. It will be built from northern and southern banks of the Yangtze, which has been troubled by floods for hundreds of years.Launched in 1993, the Three Gorges Project, including the 185-meter-high dam and 26 generators on both banks of the Yangtze, is being built in three phases. The preparations and construction of the first phase were carried out between 1993 and 1997. The Yangtze was dammed at the Three Gorges area for the first time on November 8, 1997.The entire Three Gorges Project is expected to be completed in 2020 and by then, it will be able to generate 84.7 billion kwh of electricity every year.29.

You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation Zones(住宿区)Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial（商业的） and not residential(居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowned area.

This forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to process what he reads. 36Provide the right kinds of books. Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that arent too hard. 37 Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story.38 To gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothlya skill known as fluency. Rereading familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so hell become more fluent.Talk to the teacher. If your child is struggling hard with comprehension, he may need more help with his readingfor example, building his vocabulary or practicing phonics skills.Supplement class reading. If his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic. Some prior knowledge will make his way through tougher classroom texts.Talk about what hes reading. This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book. 39 For example:Before: “What interests you in this book? What doesnt?”During: “ 40 Is it turning out the way you thought it would? ”After: “Can you summarize the book? What did you like about it?”A. Reread to build fluency.B. Whats going on in the book?C. Look up new words in the dictionary.D. Do you know all the characters in the story?E. Ask questions before, during, and after a reading session.F. Plus, hes not only seeing the words, hes hearing them, too.G.
