The Causes The reasons for the changes are complex.It is clear that pollution of the air and water by factories is affecting the environment.Trees and other vegetation die，and so soil is eroded.The more trees that die，the less water is held in the earth.The need for wood for fuel and buildings leads to further deforestation，which causes further soil erosion.Local farmers find it more and more difficult to make a living.They end up using inefficient farming methods，which again leads to soil erosion. The Solutions The Government is carrying out anti-desertification projects，including the creation of a forest belt around deserts.The tree-planting campaign，known as the Great Green Wall，is meant to protect Beijing from sandstorms.China hopes to control the expansion of desert land by the year 2010 and plans to establish a protected eco-system in desert areas by 2050. 操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。

Apparently，the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of think global，act local.McDonald’s learnt that if they adapted their Mac meals to different cultures，it was more successful than having a standardized set of products that taste the same everywhere.So now，around 80% of McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a local flavor.For example，in Hong Kong，food called Shake Shake Fries and Red Bean Sunday can be found on the menu，while in Switzerland，Vegi Macs are served. However，fast food is not popular with everyone.It is often called junk food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fat.Furthermore，many people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of waste，while millions of people in developing countries go hungry.At the same time，more and more people no longer cook fresh food at home.Convenience food is just too convenient! It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spencer，or some other supermarket chain，to buy ready-made meals on their way home from work.It is even easier to buy a take-away from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home. 操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。

A.around one-third of American families eat at one of the big chains B.there were about 25,000 McDonald’s Restaurants in the USA in 2002 C.in 2002，McDonald’s served 29 million people a day in Europe D.the percentage of families eating at McDonald’s is higher in the UK than in the USA 3.All the following are correct except that[答案D].

Offshore wind in the North Sea alone can produce nearly twice the electricity needs of the North Sea countries.Using only 20% of that would supply one-third of these countries’ electricity.Greenpeace are going to challenge governments and industry to make this happen. The Rainbow Warrior sailed today to Horns Rev，the world’s largest offshore wind park，which is being built off the coast of Denmark.Another Greenpeace ship，the Arctic Sunrise，will begin the second part of the global tour in Southeast Asia next month. During these weeks，Greenpeace will be conducting this global tour with two ships to show that renewable energy is ready and able to replace dirty coal，oil，gas and nuclear power – not only in the future，but today，said a Greenpeace spokesperson. Wind energy is reported to be competitive with coal and gas power generation and clearly beats costly nuclear power.The UK government’s energy review claimed that wind energy will be the cheapest energy source by 2020. Next month，the Arctic Sunrise will be visiting the Philippines and Thailand，where communities are rejecting dirty，old-fashioned energy technology like coal-fired power stations and demanding clean，renewable energy. 1.The purpose of the global tour was[答案B]. A.to produce electricity needs of the North Sea countries B.to support the development of renewable energy around the world C.to visit the Philippines and Thailand D.to produce clear and fashioned energy 2.The destination of the ship，the Rainbow Warrior was[答案D]. A.Denmark B.the Philippines C.Thailand D.Horns Rev 3.According to the passage, [答案A]will be the cheapest form of energy by 2020. A.wind energy B.nuclear power C.coal-fired power D.solar energy 4.The power produced by the offshore wind in the North Sea can be[答案C]. A.one-third of the electricity needs of the North Sea countries B.20% of the electricity needs of the North Sea countries C.nearly twice the electricity needs of the North Sea countries D.exactly the same amount of the electricity needs of the North Sea countries 5.We can infer from this passage that[答案D]. A.offshore wind in the North Sea has already produced enough electricity for the North Sea countries B.the purpose of the Greenpeace ship is to transport renewable energy C.nuclear power is the cheapest power at present D.Greenpeace have more than one ship 题目：WILL ENGLISH ALWAYS BE THE MAIN INTERNET LANGUAGE？ The Internet’s ability to connect a wide range of cultures encourages variety.However，for the time being，English dominates online because from the start it was the lingua franca of cyberspace.Will this always be the case？ Currently about 70% of Internet is in English，but only about 44% of Internet users are native English speakers.Worldwide，native Spanish speakers outnumber native speakers of English online，and the number of native Chinese speakers is greater than both those groups put together. Statistics show that the situation is changing.For instance，three years ago 75% of web pages were in English，but that number has dropped to 50% today. Furthermore，Internet use among non-native speakers of English is growing at a faster rate than that of native English speakers.By 2003，the number of native English-speaking web users will have dropped to 29%，according to one estimate. As a result，some researchers say that the early predominance of English is going to decline.They say that English will keep a special role in connecting communities whose native languages are different，but in about 20 years’ time，Spanish，French，Arabic and Chinese will also have taken on this connecting role. If this is true，then monolingual native English speakers may be more likely to learn another language and also become bilingual，or even multilingual. 1.English became the dominant Internet language because [答案B]. A.it is spoken in cyberspace B.from the start it was the lingua franca of cyberspace C.all the Internet content is in English D.it’s most convenient for people to use English online 2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？[答案C] A.Over half of Internet content is in English. B.Less than half of Internet users have English as their first language. C.More than half of Internet users are native English speakers. D.There are more native Spanish speakers than native English speakers online. 3.The number of English web pages has[答案B]in the recent 3 years. A.risen B.dropped C.not changed D.changed only a little 4.[答案D]is NOT mentioned in the passage to have the possibility to take on the connecting role of English. A.Spanish B.French C.hinese D.Japanese 5.According to this passage，which of the following statements is true about the future of English？[答案C] A.The number of native English-speaking web users will rise in the near future. B.The early predominance of English is not going to decline in the near future. C.English will keep a special role in connecting communities whose native languages are different. D.English is going to dominate the world forever，although there are many big languages. 题目：Two hundred years ago, it took several weeks for the news of the important Battle of Two hundred years ago，it took several weeks for the news of the important Battle of Trafalgar to reach London.Nowadays，you can watch a terrorist attack as it happens anywhere in the world.The communications revolution means that we are constantly bombarded with instant news.This has great advantages，but it also raises important questions.Satellites have enabled immediate reporting worldwide.A reporter can send the news to a network like CBS News and within seconds it can be all over the world.They send electronic reports that go straight into the newspaper or onto the TV screen.Reporters can now also transmit images through their mobile phones.Consequently，live，on-the-spot reporting has become the norm and TV viewers can get a much better idea of what a natural disaster，a conflict or an interesting scientific discovery is like.In recent years，several changes have occurred in the ownership of news media.Networks owned by large companies and governments have become bigger and very powerful.These networks – such as BBC News 24 – are hungry for news and have huge audiences.However，there can only be a limited number of such networks and their ownership is a big issue.Some companies not only own TV and radio networks but newspaper groups as well.Who decides what news to publish and what sort of spin to put on it？ Is it always objective？ There are now spin doctors who manipulate the news，emphasising certain parts and not others – and as a result，much of it is not neutral.Therefore，the question of control of the media matters very much.In some cases，the media companies are more powerful than governments.They can even influence elections.So the question is – should they be controlled and if so，by whom？ 操作提示：通过题干后的下拉框选择题目的正确答案。

1.Immediate reporting has become possible all over the world because of[答案C]. A.reporters B.the use of news networks C.the use of satellites D.the communications revolution 2.[答案C]has become the norm.

A.They can influence elections in some way B.Nowadays，the manipulation of news reports is possible C.They not only own TV and radio networks but newspaper groups as well D. All of the above. 4.According to the passage，the big issue is [答案A]. A.ownership of news networks B.that there can only be a limited number of such networks like BBC News 24 C.that networks owned by large companies and governments have become bigger and very powerful D.that the news reporting is manipulated by big companies 5.What can be inferred from this passage？[答案B]. A.The disadvantages of the communications revolution outweigh its advantages B.We should put the question of control of the media on the agenda C.The news reporting has always been objective D.A reporter can send news directly to the audiences all over the world 四、翻译 题目：

1.There was a big housing problem after the Second World War[答案C]. A.in London B.in the rural areas C.in many big cities D.in many countries 2.Blocks of high-rise flats were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem，because [答案D]. A.there was severe house shortage in big cities B.there was less and less land to build houses in big cities C.they were modern and beautiful and much sought after by city people D.they were built on less land and were able to house a lot more people 3.The sentence Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not.means [答案A]. A.it was not until hundreds of the vast blocks had been built，people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not B.hundreds of the vast blocks had not been built until anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not C.people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built D.before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built，some people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not 4.The author takes a well-known British architect as an example to show us that [答案B]. A.he is very proud of his designing of many of the high-rises B.even a well-known designer of the high-rises believes they are no good for people C.even a well-known designer of the high-rises suffers personally D.high-rises are well-designed，modern buildings which meet people’s needs 5.What is the greatest danger for people living in a high-rise according to some experts？[答案C] A. Lack of communication with others. B. No easy access to a playground for children. C. Developing criminal tendencies. D. Not knowing the neighbors. 题目：IS IT FAREWELL TO THE PAPERBACK？ When Steven King published his book _Riding the Bullet_，around two million people downloaded it from the Internet within hours.It was the first time that an electronic book had done big business，and it was a wake-up call for the publishing industry. An electronic book，or e-book，is simply a version of a book that allows you to store and display it digitally.There are already thousands of classic and best-selling titles available on websites such as ebooks.com. E-book technology allows you to carry around a whole library in a small unit.You can also highlight a word to bring up its definition or increase the font size if you have had bad eyesight.In fact，e-book readers are being developed for people who are visually impaired or dyslexic. Another advantage is that it let you buy books in segments and carry them around easily，which should appeal to students.In fact，the University of South Dakota is planning to give hand-held devices to all its students to help them in their study. However，for all this，the current e-book readers are unlikely to make it big.A recent report predicted sales of just 1.9 million in the next 5 years.And the reason？ E-books are more difficult to read and they are just not as attractive as the printed word. 题目：
1.Which statement about _Riding the Bullet_ from the passage is NOT TRUE？[答案B] A.It was published by Steven King. B.Less than two million people downloaded it from the Internet within hours. C.It was the first time that an electronic book had done big business. D.It was a wake-up call for the publishing industry. 2.The word appeal to in Para.4 probably means [答案B]. A.to make a request B.to be attractive to C.to be interested in D.to take a question to a higher court 3.Which of the following statements is NOT the advantage of E- books？[答案C] A.They can be stored and displayed digitally. B.You can highlight a word to bring up its definition. C.They are more difficult to read. D.You can buy books in segments. 4.By saying However，for all this，the current e-book readers are unlikely to make it big，the author implies [答案D]. A.e-book readers will not be made in a big way B.e-books will bring about great changes C.e-book readers will be made bigger and larger D.e-books will not succeed in the near future 5.From this passage we can learn that [答案C]. A.e-books are better than ordinary books because the letters are clear B.e-books are not good for people who find reading difficult C.e-books allow you to store a library in a small unit D.sales of e-books are expected to increase rapidly in the future 题目：Mobile Phones Save Lives     Mobile phones have changed many people’s lives.Here are two people who tell their terrifying stories. Paul     I was traveling alone in Western Australia last year，and one day I set off to climb a high peak in that area.Although in the summer there are many tourists，I was there out of season so there weren’t any tour groups.Soon after I reached the top，it began to drizzle and the fog came down.Very soon，it was so thick that I couldn’t even make out the path.I take my phone with me everywhere because you never know when you will need it.Eventually I called my dad，who was 9,000 miles away in the UK.He told me to phone the local emergency services，but I felt so stupid that I didn’t want to.Luckily，my dad realized this and made up his mind to call them himself.The rescuers called me on my mobile to find out exactly where I was，but unfortunately the battery ran out after five seconds.I lay down under a rock and waited－it was nearly night-time and I was cold and wet.Just as they were about to call off the search for the night，they found me.Fortunately one rescuer had said Let’s try for just five more minutes.If they had given up，I would have died. Dave     In march 1998 I was working as a journalist in the Kosovan war.A cameraman and I had heard that in one village there was fighting，so we decided to go to investigate.We climbed up the hillside although we were in danger there from snipers.We knew that if we didn’t get close enough to the village，we wouldn’t get the best pictures.In fact，we got some brilliant photos，but then it was so dangerous that we decided to turn back.We were running along a path on the side of the hill when we were fired at—I felt something hit me but there was no pain.When we finally reached our base I thought I had better ring my wife and let her know I was okay.I reached for my mobile phone and found that a bullet had gone through my wallet and embedded itself in the phone.I was so happy that I cried.If I hadn’t had my mobile phone，the shot would have killed me. 题目：

D.prove mobile phones are our best friends in daily life 题目：NET BECOMES A BRITISH WAY OF LIFE     The Internet has become a part of everyday life for most Britons，says a report published this week by market research company Netinfo.     Just over 70% of people questioned for the survey said the net had become essential.The survey reveals that emailing friends and others is the nation’s favourite Internet activity.It also found that people spend an average of seven hours a week online，visiting 13 different websites in seven days.But 10% of all those who surf the net are doing it for more than 20 hours a week.     Just over 2,000 adults in Britain were interviewed for the report.The study found almost 19 million people in the UK – four in ten adults – regularly went online.But the number of new users has slowed down.Numbers online grew by just 11% over the past 12 months compared with 33% the previous year.     The report also reveals the increasing importance of the silver surfer.According to the report the number of older people online grew by more than 40% over the past year.People aged over 55 now make up 17% of the UK Internet population.     The survey also discovered that many workers surf the net for personal reasons while at work.Almost three-quarters of workers with Internet access admitted using it for pleasure，usually to email friends and family.According to Bill Wills，author of the survey，many employees expect some flexibility，and most employers are willing to accept this.However，employers are less likely to be understanding，if you’re downloading movies or introducing an unfriendly virus to your company network，he said. 题目：

I’ve arranged for you to have a training session at 10 o’clock on Monday with our IT consultant，Gerry.He’s a really nice guy.     It’s especially important that you can use the patient records system.We’ve had a few teething problems，and it seems complicated at first; but when you get used to it，you’ll find it really helpful.For example，it’s much quicker than the old system.Remember you used to wait ages before the information came up on the screen？ Well，now it’s very quick.     You will also need to be familiar with the appointment booking system，so you can see who your next patient is.The new program makes it impossible to double-book a patient，so we shouldn’t get as many complaints as we used to.     As well as the computer system，we’ve also installed a new electronic security door.You will need a special card from reception and it will need replacing every two months.I’m afraid we made Bill redundant.It’s a shame; I used to enjoy talking to him every morning.     Well，I hope you like the improvements.Most people find that it makes their work easier and faster.There is one downside though; the atmosphere has become less personal.I used to talk to everyone a lot，but now we communicate by email most of the time.I even email people who work in the same room as me!     Well，see you on Monday，Brett.Nice to have you back.     Best wishes,     Simon 题目：

A.it’s much quicker than the old one B.you should wait for ages before the information came up on the screen C.you need not to be familiar with the appointment booking system D.people need not talk to each other face to face any more 5.The main disadvantage of the new computer system is that [答案D]. A.you need to be very familiar with the booking system B.the card from the reception will need replacing every months C.it’s impossible to double-book a patient D.the atmosphere has become less personal 题目：Why do many people choose to work at home？ There are many advantages and disadvantages that must be considered before making such a decision.In this essay we look at a few of them. On the one hand，you may save money on fares and eating out because you are working at home.There are fewer interruptions in your day as there is nobody to chat to.Equally，you can organize your time better in order to suit the needs of your family.You are at home if there is a family emergency that needs dealing with. However，you may feel isolated and find it difficult to work well without the stimulus of colleagues’ thoughts and opinions.While you may save money on fares and eating out，you may spend more on gas and electricity at home.As well as this，you may need to invest in computers and communications equipment.In addition，it can be difficult to make a distinction between work and home life，and you may find yourself working 18 hours a day at a lower rate rather than 8 hours more intensely. In conclusion，working at home does not suit everybody.However，for those who enjoy it，there is more freedom and flexibility in the working day. 题目：
1.Which statement is NOT mentioned in Para 2？[答案C] A.You may save money on fares and food. B.There are fewer interruptions when you are working. C.You can have a lot of time to have a good rest.

D.You may find that you are working 18 hours a day at a high rate. 3.The sentence You may find yourself working 18 hours a day at a lower rather than 8 hours more intensely in Para 3 supports the idea that [答案D]. A.you work 18 hours a day at a lower rate B.you work 8 hours a day at a higher rate C.you find that you can organize your time better D.it is difficult to make a distinction between work and life 4.The word invest in Para 3 means [答案D].

The inventor’s newest product，the shiny，slim pocket-size cell phone，has a tiny keyboard，a built-in digital camera and narrow openings for added memory.The smart phone market makes up only five percent of overall mobile phone sales today，but the figure has been doubling each year.In the United States，it’s the business crowd that’s primarily buying these handsets.What makes the smart phone so much better than the computer is that it’s always with you，always up and always ready，says one of them，who works in an 80-member law firm，which recently started giving its lawyers smart phones instead of laptops. 题目：

HISTORY At the end of the First World War，the decision was taken to combine two military airfields，and to make them the Air Port of London – the capital’s official customs arrival or departure point for all international flights.   When the airport opened in 1920，scheduled flights were introduced，carrying passengers，mail and freight to Paris，Amsterdam and Rotterdam，and from 1923 to Berlin.Every effort was made to provide a luxurious standard of in-flight accommodation and entertainment.Passengers wearing evening-dress and ball gowns made the short flight to Paris: they danced and drank champagne during the trip.   Many of the aircraft themselves would be unrecognisable today._Empire Flying Boats _offering luxurious travel and first class accommodation catered for the privileged few.There was plenty of space to relax during the many hours in the air，which was very important because trips to the furthest corners of Africa，India and the Far East were measured in days not hours.   Croydon witnessed many of the early landmarks of international flight.Croydon airport finally closed in 1959 – it was unable to expand enough to cope with the massive growth in air travel after the Second World War. Today you can visit Croydon airport and relive the romance and excitement of the early days of air travel.You can board an_ Empire Flying Boat _standing majestically in open fields and you can eat a meal cooked in the style of that day.You can even operate the old air traffic control machines from the top of the original control tower. 题目：
