Singing are the pupils of the remote Beau-Roc primary school in Haiti. One of them plays a guitar made from an empty oil tin. Their headmistress, Emile Jean-Noel, is one of the few women school principals（校长）in the country.
Over 70 % of Haitian population live below the poverty line with inadequate food, water, schools, or housing. To reduce the hunger that prevents learning and to encourage parents to send their children to school, meals are provided by the World Food Programme.
―We are so cut off we have many difficulties,‖ comments Emile, adding that finding chalk, school books and other materials is practically impossible. Emile tries to encourage those around her to make use of all available resources. Her efforts are bearing fruit. One of her successes was convincing local women to contribute to their children’s schooling and increase their own income by selling embroidery(刺绣) and other handicrafts.
Recent political instability has meant that the country has not invested in education for ten years. Enrolment(入学) is a mere 44 percent and a little less than a half of those entering primary school finish it. Less than a third of these go on to secondary school. In rural areas it is not rare to find 17- and 18 year-olds in primary school. Beau-Roc has only 4 teachers for 260 pupils. Emile works constantly to improve her pupils’ environment. Under her direction, a local worker is now constructing a storehouse for the food delivered regularly by the World Food Programme.
Not on ly is Emile’s salary too little, but she receives it irregularly. For her, transport is a real headache. She lives five kilometers away and has to take a privately-owned bus, costing more than she can afford.
25. What theme is presented in this passage?
A. Devotion to education in Haiti.
B. Poverty and hardship of women.
C. Politics and children
D. Love and beauty
26. Which of the following is extremely difficult for Beau-Roc primary school?
A. Teaching the women how to make embroidery and other handicrafts.
B. Persuading local women to care about their children’s education.
C. Encouraging those around her to use those available resources.
D. Finding chalk, school books and other materials.
27. The many figures in the 4th paragraph indicate ________.
A. political instability in Haiti
B. poor investment in Haitian education
C. challenges in Emile’s life
D. Emile’s constant efforts
28. Who is Emile Jean-Noel?
A. a pupil
B. a volunteer
C. a headmistress
D. a parent
C
The British royal family is about to be slimmed down. The queen plans to reduce the number of real royals, it was recently announced. However, there seems little sign of the monarchy(君主) disappearing completely.
Up till the 17th century, the British ki ng or queen was believed to rule by ―divine (神的) right‖, which was the idea that God chose the king or queen to rule and that he or she was therefore above the law. However, this idea ended with the English Revolution, in which King Charles the first was imprisoned and then killed in 1649.
So what role does the British royal family have today?
Well, the Queen has important formal duties: as Head of State, the Queen represents the UK on visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the UK. As Head of the Armed Forces, only the Queen can declare when the UK is at war or when war was over. The Queen also has constitutional duties: She has to sign many government and Commonwealth documents every day.
In addition, the royal family spends a great deal of its time traveling up and down the country in support of different charity projects.
But the public in Britain do not believe there should be a royal family. Sometimes, the press and media criticize the royal family as well.
One criticism is that British people should not have to pay for the royal family through their taxes.
Today, the royal family works hard to be relevant in the modern world. The queen’s speech on TV is less formal every Christmas, and is now available as a podcast (播客). In 2005, after graduation for university, Prince William spent time teaching English in Uruguay, the sort of work many young British people do at some time in their lives.
29. What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?
A. The British king or queen is about to become common people.
B. The British king or queen is no longer believed to rule by divine right.
C. The English Revolution put an end to the British royal family in 1649.
D. The royal family’s role was most important in Britain in the 17th century.
30. Which of the following is NOT among formal duties of the Queen?
A. Travelling around the world for charity projects.
B. Declaring when the UK is at war.
C. Inviting other world leaders to visit the UK.
D. Signing Commonwealth documents every day.
31. Prince William is mentioned in the passage to show that _______.
A. he is popular in the UK
B. many young British people do voluntary work
C. he has tried to win young people’s admiration
D. the royal family is trying to change their image
32. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. British people are all in favor of the royal family
B. the public are encouraged to oppose the royal family
C. the British royal family are facing surviving challenges
D. British youths are required to teach English in Uruguay in their lives
D
Just as the world’s most respected scientific bodies have confirmed that the world is getting hotter, they have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming. Countless recent reports from the world’s leading scientific bodies have said the same thing. For example, a 2010 summary of climate science by the Royal Society stated that: ―There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last hal f-century has been caused largely by human activity.‖
The idea that humans could change the planet’s climate may be counter-intuitive(与直觉不符的), but the basic science is well understood. Each year, human activity causes billions of tons of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.
Of course, the planet’s climate has always been changing thanks to ―natural‖ fac tors such as changes in solar or volcanic activity, or cycles relating the Earth’s going around the sun. According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere – not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so far, that would beg a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it in The Rou gh Guide to Climate Change: ―If some newly discovered factor can account for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?‖
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths –one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.
33．In most scientists’ opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by ________.
A．solar activity B．volcanic activity C．the Earth’s going around the sun D．human activity 34．The underline word ―identical‖ means ________.
A．totally different B．exactly the same C．extremely important D．relatively independent 35．Which of the following can be the best title?
A．How can we stop global warming? B．Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?
C．Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?
D．What’s Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?
