16、AScientists have long believed one way to stop the Earths atmosphere from warming is by planting more trees. The idea is that more trees take in or absorb some of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a gas released by cars, factories and other human activities. The gas traps heat

17、in the Earths atmosphere, which warms the planet. However, two new studies have found that trees may not be as helpful in reducing carbon dioxide as had been thought.The first study was done at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Researchers pumped extra carbon dioxide into a test area where

18、pine trees were growing. The trees grew thirty-four percent faster during the first three years. However, in time, the trees slowed to about their normal growth rate. The scientists say this is because trees need other nutrients, such as nitrogen.In the second study, researchers from Duke and Bowdoi

19、n College in Brunswick, Maine examined the soil around trees. They discovered that as the leaves broke down into the soil, all the carbon was not trapped in the soil. Much of it was released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.Forest planting has been a part of negotiations on a world agreement to

20、 reduce greenhouse gases that scientists believe cause global warming. The United States, Canada, Japan and some other industrial countries have supported the idea. But this new research suggests the idea is not as effective as environmental activists had thought. Scientist Ram Oren of Duke Universi

21、ty led the study on tree growth. He says that earlier estimates on the ability of forests to absorb carbon dioxide were overly hopeful. Some scientists not involved in the studies say the research provides some of the first evidence on how trees react to carbon dioxide. Other scientists say the rese

22、arch disputes（对质疑） a belief among some coal and power companies. The companies say that rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will not create harmful global warming. Instead, they say it will increase forests and other plants. 56What is the purpose of this passage？AIntroduce some new opi

23、nions about the relationship between trees and carbon dioxide. BIntroduce recent condition of global industrial pollution. CCall on people to plant more trees to reduce greenhouse gases. DPoint out that power companies should be responsible for the rising levels of carbon dioxide.57Why did the resea

24、rchers do the TWO studies?ATo prove that trees may not be as helpful in reducing carbon dioxide as had been thought.BTo get more oxygen from these trees.CTo evaluate the maximum carbon dioxide the trees can absorbDTo see the growth rate of these trees.58What happened to the leaves falling from the t

25、rees in the second study？AThey broke down and the main parts turned into oxygen. BThey broke down and the carbon content had mainly turned into carbon dioxide.CThey broke down and the carbon dioxide content was mainly absorbed in the soil. DThey absorbed more carbon dioxide.59The word “it” in the la

26、st paragraph probably refers to .Acarbon dioxideBnitrogenCatmosphereDcoalBOn the Olympic flag, the rings appear on a white background. The flag reinforces the idea of the Olympic Movements universality（广泛性）, as it brings together all the countries of the world. Pierre de Coubertin, the father of the

27、 modern Olympic Games, explains the meaning of the flag: “The Olympic flag has a white background, with five interlaced(交错的) rings in the centre: blue, yellow, black, green and red. This design is symbolic; it represents the five continents of the world, united by Olympism, while the six colors are

28、those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time.” (1931) Combined in this way, the six colors of the flag (including the white of the background) represent all nations. It is wrong, therefore, to believe that each of the colors corresponds to a certain continent!At the O

29、lympic Games, the flag is brought into the stadium during the opening ceremony. Since the 1960 Games in Rome (Italy), it has been carried horizontally by a delegation of athletes or other people well known for their positive work in society. After its arrival, the flag is hoisted up the flagpole. It

30、 must fly in the stadium during the whole of the Games. When the flag is lowered at the closing ceremony, it signals the end of the Games. The mayor of the host city of the Games passes the Olympic flag to the mayor of the next host city of the Games. In the history, even though Pierre de Coubertin

31、intended the Olympic Games to be an international event from the time of their re-establishment in 1896 in Athens (Greece), it was only at the 1912 Games in Stockholm (Sweden) that, for the first time, the participants came from all five continents. One year later, in 1913, the five rings appeared a

32、t the top of a letter written by Pierre de Coubertin. He drew the rings and colored them in by hand. He then described this symbol in the Olympic Review of August 1913It was also Coubertin who had the idea for the Olympic flag. He presented the rings and flag in June 1914 in Paris at the Olympic Con

33、gress. The First World War prevented the Games from being celebrated in 1916 in Berlin (Germany) as planned. It was not until 1920 in Antwerp (Belgium) that the flag and its five rings could be seen flying in an Olympic stadium.The universality conveyed by the rings and the flag was a new idea at th

34、e beginning of the 20th century. Nationalism was very strong and tension between certain countries was high. It was in this climate, however, that Coubertin proposed a symbol which aimed to encourage world unity.60The author mentioned Olympic Games except the one in 1916 in the passage.A2B3C4D561Whi

35、ch of the following agrees with the passage? .APierre de Coubertin contributed a lot to the OlympicsBEach of the colors corresponds to a certain continentCThe flag is aimed at promoting the world economy.DWhen the flag is brought into the stadium, it signals the beginning of the Games62Which stateme

36、nt is NOT TRUE according to the author? .AThe flag reinforces the idea of the Olympic Movements universalityBIt was not until 1920 Games in Antwerp (Belgium) that, for the first time, the participants came from all five continents.CThe universality of the flag was a new idea at the beginning of the

37、20th centuryDThe flag must fly in the stadium during the whole of the Games63Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage? .AOne world, One dreamBGreen Beijing, Greet OlympicsCThe Father of the Modern Olympic GamesDThe History of the Olympic Flag CJonathan James looks like jus

38、t another kid about to graduate from high school. But this 19- year-old Swede is anything but ordinary. From the computer in his parents home, he helps the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) find out the worlds most wanted web criminals.Jonathan first made headlines when he and another Swede,

39、Fredrik Broderick, found out the maker of the “Melissa” virus in March 1999He came to the aid of the FBI again on May 7, finding out the suspected sender of the dangerous “I LOVE YOU” virus. The suspect was caught in Manila on May 8.Jonathans special skills are in hot demand as officials around the

40、world express alarm at the “virtual” crime wave. In between studying for final exams, hanging out with friends and refereeing his younger brothers football matches, the quiet, gentle teenager also gives lessons on e security to large companies. He reads a lot and exchanges information with other com

41、puter experts to know much about the latest tricks of the hacker trade.Many companies have already tried to employ him, but he is not interested at the moment. Instead, he plans to begin law school in the autumn at Swedens Uppsala University and start up his own e security company.Although he works

42、with the FBI now, his family insists hes just “a regular kid”. “Jonathan is a great kid, he has his friends and he does a lot more than just play with the computer,” his little sister Tessa said, adding that he helps the FBI because “he likes to help,” not because hes looking for fame and recognitio

43、n.When the world was hit by the “Love Bug” virus, Jonathan was too busy preparing a speech on e security to look into the problem. “Finally on May 7, I had some free time, so I began looking.” Within a few hours, he had found the suspect and e mailed his method and results to the FBI. He said his wo

44、rk on the “Melissa” virus, which took three weeks to solve, was a big help in finding the suspect so quickly.“This time I knew exactly where to start, I knew what to disregard and what to look at.” 64The passage mainly wants to tell us that_.Aany web criminals will surely be found out wherever they

45、are BJonathan is really a quiet, gentle and ordinary boy Cmany companies want the young computer expert to join inDSwedish kid helps FBI find out the most wanted web criminals65The public started to know something about Jonathan just from .Ahis work together with Fredrik Broderick to find out the ma
