Some of the worlds leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.LondonLondons flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding，but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 21 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals，an airport and 80 billion worth of property in Londons flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.ParisShanghaiShanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.An estimated 250,000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coalfired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.36Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Solutions to Natural DisastersB. Big Disasters in the FutureC. The Increase of Natural DisastersD. Big Cities Facing Big Disasters37What problem should be settled now in London?A.

Forbidding the city to build “Flower Tower”C. Having airconditioners installed in elderly care homes.D. Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.39The major threats to Shanghai are _.A. increasing population and coalfired power stationsB. extremely high temperature and rising sea levelsC. rising sea levels and typhoonsD. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons40The purpose of the passage is _.A. to tell us how to protect the big citiesB. to give advice on how to defend natural disastersC. to explain what causes flood and heat wavesD. to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big citiesBAfter lots of hype, the new iPhone 3GS has arrived, boasting an improved camera, better battery life, and speedier performance. But is it a must?The iPhone 3GS is available in two versions: 16GB and 32GB. The 16GB version costs $199, while the 32GB version costs $299. From the outside, the iPhone 3GS looks exactly like the iPhone 3G. Like the iPhone 3G, the new model comes in black and white versions, and sports a 3.5-inch touch screen. Most of the changes to the iPhone 3GS have been made on the inside. Apple says that battery life is better, but the biggest boost is in the iPhones speed: The iPhone 3GS runs twice as fast as the iPhone 3G. Instead of a lot of software installed on it, the iPhone 3GS comes with the most recent version of the iPhone Software - version 3.0 installed, but it does come with easy access to Apples App Store. The speedier performance of the iPhone 3GS extends to surfing the Web, too. You can see entire Web pages, and can zoom(急速移动) in and out with ease.41.

It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earths atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north wont escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, and temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun wont be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million remain alive.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldnt live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?46. When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes _.A. an earthquake B. damages to citiesC. an Earth explosion D. huge waves47. Why cant the northern half of the earth escape for long?A. Because the land is covered with waterB. Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.C. Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.D.

We may guess that the writer is _.A. worried B. practical C. a scientist D. full of imagination50. What is mainly described in the passage?A. A historic discovery. B. An event of imagination.C. A research on space. D. A scientific adventure.DExercise may hold the key to youth, according to a study published recently which showed people who keep fit are up to nine years biologically younger than those who do not.The findings are the first to show in humans how keeping fit affects the ageing process.The study of 2,401 twins found that a sedentary (惯于久坐的) lifestyle raises the risk of a range of problems from heart disease to cancer and appears to play a key role in the ageing process.It all appears to boil down to the length of structures called telomereswhich protect the DNA on the chromosomes(染色体), the researchers from Kings College London wrote in the Archives of Internal Medicine.Many studies have shown telomeres get shorter over time, suggesting the cells are ageing or dying. The study, which extracted a DNA sample from their volunteers, found people who exercised more each week had longer telomeres.Exercise lowers the risk of a range of problems such as heart disease, diabetes(糖尿病)and cancer, the researchers said.“It is not just walking around the block. It is really working up a sweat,” said Tim Spector, a genetic epidemiologist(流行病学家) who led the study, in a telephone interview.The study found people who exercised vigorously 3 hours each week had longer telomeres and they were 9 years biologically younger than people who did under 15 minutes.Spectors team, who also adjusted for body weight, smoking, economic status and physical activity at work, also said moderate exercise for 1-1/2 hours each week provided a four-year advantage.The reason why exercise has this effect is not clear but we believe physical activity somehow defends against the natural process.51. According to the study, people sitting long _.A. are tending to be more healthyB. are more likely to live longerC. are inclined to be taken illD. are getting old more slowly52. The underlined phrase “boil down to” most probably means .A. lie in B. lead to C. aim at D. show up53. Which of the following statements are NOT true?A. Telomeres get shorter as time goes on.B. Slight walking prevents people getting ill.C. Exercise energetically reduces the chance of diseases.D. Body weight, smoking and economic status affect peoples health.54. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. peoples health is decided by their body weight and economic statusB. scientists have known why exercise affects the ageing processC. the more violently one exercises, the healthier one getsD. the longer telomeres one has, the more slowly one gets old55. Which of the following would be the b
