24、 the lower atmosphere, are driven by heat 48 the sun and change in the earths surface.oceans cover about 70 percent of earths surface. energy 49 or lost by the oceans results in a smaller surface temperature change than would occur over land. the atmosphere and ocean 50 exchange energy and matter.la

30、e intelligent than another? what makes one person a genius, like the brilliant albert einstein, and another person a fool? are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligent the result of where and how you live? these are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.we know,

31、however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. in a way the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. it needs exercise. mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. many child psychologists(心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more

32、 and give them problems to think about. the children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. if, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.parents should also be careful with what they say to youn

33、g children. according to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. so it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “that w

34、as a very clever thing you did or “you are such a smart child.56. the words “intelligent and “brilliant in the first paragraph probably mean “_ while “dull in the second paragraph means “_.a. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingb. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingc. great and

37、lder. fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the united states were 65 or older. today, 10 out of every 100 americans are over 65. the aging of the population will affect every aspect of society -education, medicine, housing, and business. quietly, the graying of america has made us a ve

38、ry different society -one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is appropriate at various ages.an adults age no longer tells you anything about that a persons economic or marital status, lifestyle, or health. theres no longer a particular year, or even a particular dec

39、ade, in which one gets married or goes to work or goes to school or has children. the social clock that kept us on time and told us when to get married, go to school, get a job, or retire isnt as strong as it used to be. it doesnt surprise us to hear of a 29-year old university president or a 35-yea

40、r-old grandmother or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. public attitudes are changing.many people say, “i am much younger than my motheror my father was at my age. no one says, “act your age, anymore. were stopped looking with disapproval at older people who act in youthfu

41、l ways.59. the best explanation of the expression “acting your age is _.a. acting a part of a play when you are old enoughb. doing the things that people expect you of your age to doc. playing an important role in the society when you are grown upd. working hard and supporting the family when you ar

42、e an adult60. the sentence “i am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age means that _.a. i am much younger than my mother or my father when i acted my ageb. my mother or my father was older than i am because they are my parentsc. i am much younger than my mother or my father when i wa

43、s at my age d. when my mother or father was at my age, they were older than i am61. in this article the author mainly tells people that _.a. the definition of age has changedb. peoples living standard has changedc. peoples attitudes toward other people have changedd. peoples fondness and dislike hav

44、e changed (c)a very important world problem is the increasing number of people who actually inhabit this planet. the limited amount of land and land resources will soon be unable to support the huge population if it continues to grow at its present rate. so why is this huge increase in population ta

45、king place? it is really due to the spread of the knowledge and practice of what is becoming known as “death control. you have no doubt heard of the term “birth control “death control is something rather different. it recognizes the work of the doctors and scientists who now keep alive people who, n

46、ot very long ago, would have died of a variety of then incurable diseases. through a wide variety of technological innovations that include farming methods and the control of these deadly diseases, we have found ways to reduce the rate at which we die. however, this success is the very cause of the

47、greatest threat to mankind. if we examine the amount of land available for this ever-increasing population, we begin to see the problem. if everyone on the planet had an equal share of land, we would each have about 50000 square metres. this figure seems to be quite encouraging until we examine the

48、type of land we would have. more than three-fifths of the worlds land cannot produce food. obviously, with so little land to support us, we should be taking great care not to reduce it further. but we are not! instead, we are consuming its “capital - its nonrenewable fossil fuels and other mineral d

49、eposits that took millions of years to form but which are now being destroyed in decades. we are also doing the same with other vital resources not usually thought of as being nonrenewable such as fertile soils, groundwater and the millions of other species that share earth with us. it is a very com

50、mon belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction. this is not true. the actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on nature. developing countries

51、do have an effect on their environment, but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole. 62. the word “incurable in paragraph 2 means _. a. common b. widespreadc. unknown d. untreatable63. there isnt enough land to support human being because _. a

52、. most of the worlds land is unusable b. there are more seas than land in the world c. the worlds land has already been taken up d. the worlds land is not distributed equally64. what does “to limit their reproduction in the last paragraph mean? a. to control death. b. to produce less goods. c. to pr
