19、ead the following informationbefore booking your field trip.requirementsplease note:reservation blackout dates (限制日期) may apply to all groups at certain timesof the year (e.g. holidays and spring break). if your group comes on a blackout dateor has not made the necessary reservations before arriving

20、 at the zoo, your groupwill be charged the regular admission fees.docent (讲解员)-guided toursour docent guides lead educational walking tours for students and their teachers,beginning at first grade. a limited number of docent-guided tours are available. thereis no additional fee for a docent-guided t

21、our, but you must book your tour at leasttwo weeks in advance. do not assume you have a guided tour booked until you havereceived a confirmation number and packet from the los angeles zoo. on the day ofyour field trip, your group will need to arrive at least 30 minutes before the confirmedstart time

22、 of your tour to check in. make sure to tell zoo staff upon your arrivalthat your group has a docent-guided tour. if you are more than 15 minutes late foryour tour, it may be canceled.regular pricing : $5 per student, 1 teacher per 10 students is included, $5 peradditional teacher56. how much should

24、or a docent-guided tour will be chargedd.a field group must arrive half an hour earlier to check inbin the 1960s，while studying the volcanic history of yellowstone national par，kbob christiansen became puzzled about something that，oddly，had not troubled anyonebefore：he couldnt find the parks volcano

25、. it had been known for a long time thatyellowstone was volcanic in nature thats what accounted for all its hot springs- 4 - and other steamy features. but christiansen couldnt find the yellowstone volcanoanywhere.most of us，when we talk about volcanoes，think of the classic cone（圆锥体）shapes of a fuji

26、 or kilimanjar，o which are created when erupting magm（a 岩浆）pilesup. these can form remarkably quickly. in 1943，a mexican farmer was surprised tosee smoke rising from asmall part of his land. in one week he was the confused ownerof a cone five hundred feet high. within two years it had topped out at

27、almost fourteenhundred feet and was more than half a mile across. altogether there are some tenthousand of these volcanoes on earth，all but a few hundred of them extinct. thereis，however，a second les known type of volcano that doesnt involve mountain building.these are volcanoesso explosive that the

28、y burst open in a single big cra，ckleavingbehind a vast hole ，the caldera. yellowstone obviously was of this second type ，but christiansen couldnt find the caldera anywhere.just at this time nasa decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by takingphotographs of yellowstone. a thoughtful officia

29、l passed on some of the copies tothe park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for oneof the visitors centers. as soon as christiansen saw the photos，he realized whyhe had failed to spot the caldera; almost the whole park-2.2 million acreswas caldera.the explosion had le

30、ft a hole more than forty miles acrossmuch too huge to be seenfrom anywhere at ground level. at some time in the past yellowstone must have blownup with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.58. what puzzled christiansen when he was studying yellowstone？a. its complicated geogr

31、aphical features.on tourism.c. the mysterious history of the park.volcano.59. what does the second-paragraph mainly talk about？b. its ever-lasting influenced. the exact location of thea. the shapes of volcanoes.b. the impacts of volcanoes.d. the heights of volcanoes.c. the activities of volcanoes.60

32、. what does the underlined word blow-up in the last paragraph most probably mean？a. hot-air balloon.c. big photograph.b. digital camera.d. birds view.cwho cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more importantinfluences than the washing machine? why does it matter that people are mor

33、e impressedby the most recent changes?it would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peoples opinions.however, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.the fascination with the ict(information and communication technology)revolution, represented by

34、 the internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude- 5 - that making things is so yesterday that they should try to live on ideas. this beliefin post-industrial society has led those countries to neglect their manufacturingsector (制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.even mor

35、e worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in richcountries has moved the international community to worry about the digital dividebetween the rich countries and the poor countries. this has led companies andindividuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment

36、 andinternet facilities. the question, however, is whether this is what the developingcountries need the most. perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things suchas digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washingmachines would have improved peoples lives more

37、 than giving every child a laptopcomputer or setting up internet centres in rural villages, i am not saying that thosethings are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancyprogrammes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits ofalternative uses of

38、their money.in yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe thatthe recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are sorevolutionary that now we live in a borderless world. as a result, in the last twentyyears or so, many people have come to be

39、lieve that whatever change is happening todayis the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like tryingto turn the clock back. believing in such a world, many governments have put an endto some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labourand

40、goods, with poor results.understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designingeconomic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for makingthe right career choices at the individual level. however, our fascination with thelatest, and our under valuation

41、of what has already become common, can, and has, ledus in all sorts of wrong directions.61. misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to _.a. a lack of confidence in technologyc. a conflict of public opinionsb a slow progress in technologyd. a waste of limited resources62. the exampl

42、e in paragraph 4 suggests that donators should _.a. take peoples essential needs into accountattractive to peopleb. make their programmesc. ensure that each child gets financial support d provide more affordableinternet facilities63. what has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?a. n

43、eglecting the impacts of technological advances.b. believing that the world has become borderless.- 6 - c. ignoring the power of economic development.d. over-emphasizing the role of international communication.64. what can we learn from the passage?a. people should be encouraged to make more donatio

44、ns.b. traditional technology still has a place nowadays.c. making right career choices is crucial to personal success.d. economic policies should follow technological trends.dold problem，new approacheswhile clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warning willcontinue for some dec

45、ades after co emission (排放) peak. so even if emission were2to begin decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate.here i will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.when it comes to adaptation，it is important to understand that climate changei

46、s a process. we are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standa，rdbut toa constantly shifting set of conditions. this is why, in part at least，the us nationalclimate assessment says that: “there is no one-size fit all adaptation.”nevertheless，there are some actions that offer much and carry

47、 little risk or cost.around the world people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poorcountries. floods have some more damaging in bangladesh in recent decades. mohammedrezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. his not-for-profitorganization runs 100 river boats that serv

48、er as floating libraries, schools, andhealth clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities.rezwan is creating floating connectivity (连接) to replace flooded roads and highways.but he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people howto make flo

49、ating gardens andfish ponds to prevent starvation during the wetseason.elsewhere in asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. chewang norphellives in a mountainous region in india, where he is known as the ice man. the lossof glaciers ( 冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormou

50、s threat toagriculture. without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when itcan damage crops. norphels inspiration came from seeing the waste of water overwinter, when it was not needed. he directed the wasted water into shallow basins whereit froze, and was stored until the spring

51、. his fields of ice supply perfectly timedirrigation(灌溉) water. having created nine such ice reserves, norphel calculatesthat he has stored about 200, 000m of water. climate change is a continuing process,3so norphels ice reserves will not last forever. warming will overtake them. buthe is providing

52、 a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to findother means of adapting.increasing earths reflectiveness can cool the planet. in southern spain thesudden increase of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the- 7 - warming trend locally, and actually cooled th

53、e region. while spain as a whole isheating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. this exampleshould act as an inspirationfor all cities. by painting buildings white, cities mayslow down the warming process.in peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has alrea

54、dy fallenvictim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in thehope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. the outcome isstill far from clear. but the world bank has included the project on its list of “100ideas to save the planet”.more ordinary f

55、orms of adaptation are happening everywhere. a friend of mine ownsan area of land in western victoria. over five generations the land has been too wetfor cropping. but during the past decade declining rainfall has allows him to planthighly profitable crops. farmers in many countries are also adaptin

56、g like thiseitherby growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. this is commonsense. but some suggestions for adapting are not. when the polluting industries arguethat weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but toadapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.human beings will continue to adaptto the changing climate in bothordinary andastonishing ways. but the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt ourenergy systems t
