    You might think that "global warming" means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature.
But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤離) of an island nation-the
citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
      During the 20th century, sea level rose 8-12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland
flooding of salt water which has polluted the country's drinking water.
    Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation
suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher
surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
    Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an
international. agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse  gas  emissions (導(dǎo)
致溫室效應(yīng)的氣體排放 ) , which are a main cause of global warming. "By refusing to sign the
agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live
where their forefathers
have lived for thousands of years," Laupepa told the BBC.
    Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both
countries .
      Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable(易受影 響的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon
Gayoon,  president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country
of 311,000 an "endangered nation".

任務(wù)型閱讀。閱讀下材料,完成1-3題。
     In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun
together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you
as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I
have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and
reliability (可靠).   
     Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person
is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's
place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.   
     At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (過錯) in others. He
notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.   
     Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet
me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to
help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.   
     There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have
fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who
are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other.
A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of
being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.   
     When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, understanding and humorous, I know I've found a friend!
請根據(jù)閱讀信息填寫下面句子:
1. The writer thinks a good friend should be _________, ____________, ___________, and ___________.
2. What is the meaning for fair weather friends? (用淺顯易懂的英語來解釋)
    ________________________________________________________________________.
3. Write down a title for this short passage.

任務(wù)型閱讀。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從下框的A-F選項中選出能概括每一段的主題最佳選項。選項中有一項
為多余選項。
1. _____
     With the development of society, unwanted sound is the most widespread nuisance (厭惡的事) in America.
But noise is more than just a nuisance. It constitutes a real and present danger to people's health. Day and night,
at home, at work, and at play, noise can produce serious physical and psychological stress. No one escapes
being affected by this stress. Though we seem to adjust to noise by ignoring it, the ear, in fact, never closes
and the body still responds-sometimes with extreme tension, as to a strange sound in the night.
2. _____
     The annoyance we feel when faced with noise is the most common outward symptom of the stress building
up inside us. Indeed, because irritability (易怒) is so obvious, legislators (立法人員) have made public
annoyance the basis of many noise limit programs. But the more unnoticeable and more serious health hazards
(harm and danger) associated with stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much less attention.
3. _____
     Nevertheless, when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise, we should consider these symptoms fair
warning that other things may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging to our health. Of many
health hazards to noise, hearing loss is the most clearly observable and measurable by health professionals. The
other hazards are harder to pin down (說清). For many of us, there may be a risk that exposure to the stress of
noise increases susceptibility to disease and infection. The more susceptible among us may experience noise as
a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in health
persons may have serious consequences for these already ill in mind or body.
4. _____
     Noise affects us throughout our lives. For example, there are indications of effects on the unborn child when
mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise. During infancy and childhood, youngsters exposed
to high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and obtaining necessary amounts of rest.
5. _____
     Why, then, is there not greater alarm about these dangers? Perhaps it is because the link between noise and
many disabilities or diseases has not yet been conclusively demonstrated. Perhaps it is because we tend to
dismiss annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modern world. It may also be because we still think of
hearing loss as only an occupational hazard.
A. Noise affects us from birth even embryo (胚胎) to death.
B. Less attention to more unnoticeable and serious hazards in spite of the most common annoyance caused by
    noise.
C. The reasons for there being no greater alarm about these dangers.
D. Noise is more a real and present danger than a nuisance to people's health.
E. How much do we know about annoyance caused by noise?
F. How much do we know about the possible hazards to people's health caused by noise?
