Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants (居民) are using these spaces.
The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate (不成比例的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas (但是）there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obivous that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory (強(qiáng)制性的) activities can also have a recreative aspect.
The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.
小題1: According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment _______.
A．is still unknownB．is being closely studied
C．is usually neglectedD．has been fully recognized
小題2:The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _______.
A．the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood

小題3:The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspaces should be provided _______.
A．in special areasB．in the suburbs
C．in the neighbourhood of the houseD．in gardens and parks
小題4: The author says “more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect” to _______.
A．suggest that obligatory activities don’t need to serious
B．show that recreation activities are very important
C．show how recreation activities have spread wildly
D．suggest how to offer recreation activities around home
小題5:Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragraph?
A．One lives the very best standard of living.
B．There are too many distractions outside his home.
C．There are few recreations around his house.
D．One needs the street door of his house to be opened always.

New media has been growing fast and influencing people’s lives in ways few things have done before. In 2010, China’s new media industry witnessed explosive development. But with “new” comes uncertainties and challenges. The following are brief reviews on the development of China’s new media and outlooks on its future.
I. Micro-blogging (微博)   
Short and convenient, micro-blogs also experienced “a big bang” in China last year, with the number of micro-bloggers at China’s popular portal(門(mén)戶(hù)網(wǎng)站) sina.com.cn almost doubling in less than six months. Afterwards, the other three major web portals, including sohu.com, qq.com and 163.com, each set up their own micro-blogging services. With more government officials and entities(實(shí)體) registering, China’s micro-blogging services are expected to play a more important role in connecting the public and the governments in 2011.
第一節(jié)                         Search Engines
Baidu’s position in the search engine market would face fierce challenges from sohu.com,
Microsoft’s Bing and goso.cn from the People’s Daily. Xinhua is also preparing to start its search engine together with China Mobile, a leading company in mobile networks. Goso and Xinhua both have the advantage of providing content, while Bing has a big edge in technology and funds. They are expected to pose threats(威脅) to Baidu in 2011.
第二節(jié)                         Internet of Things
IoT refers to a network of real-world objects linked by the Internet and interacting through on-line services. China set up its first IoT research center in Shanghai in March 2010.Within the same week, Premier Wen Jiabao stated in the annual government report that it would “accelerate the research and development, as well as application of the Internet of Things. ”
However, some experts say China’s IoT is still in an early stage, and it’ll take a long time for it to let the public enjoy its full functions. 
40. What is the text mainly about?
A. Some major media in China.
B. China’s new media and its future.
C. The development of China’s on-line services.
D. China’s early-stage IoT and its major functions.
小題1:How many web portals are mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.
小題2: Which of the following will be Xinhua’ s partner to start a search engine? 
A．Baidu.B．Sohu.com. C．Goso.cn.D．China Mobile.
小題3: What does the underlined part “a big bang” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? 
A．a(chǎn) deafening soundB．a(chǎn)n explosive development
C．a(chǎn) terrible damageD．a(chǎn) demanding challenge

The amount of carbon taken in by growing plants increased from 1982 through 1999 as
temperatures rose and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased. But a new study
in Friday ’ s edition of the journal Science found a drought - related decline in such plant growth
from 2000 to 2009，even though temperatures continued to climb.
As drought caused by warming reduces the land ’ s ability to take in carbon，the result could
be more carbon dioxide left in the atmosphere，and thus more warming，Zhao Maosheng from the
University of Montana explained in a telephone interview.
“This is a pretty serious warning that warmer temperatures are not going to endlessly improve
plant growth ’” co - author Steven Running，also from the University of Montana ’ said in a
statement. “ We see this as a bit of a surprise，and potentially significant on a policy level because
previous interpretations suggested global warming might actually help plant growth around the
world, “ he said.
Instead, he and Zhao found a small but measurable decline of about 1%，compared to a6%
increase in the past decade.
Their study，based on the data collected by NASA satellites，found that north areas continued
to increase plant growth，thanks to warmer temperatures and a longer growing season.
Someone commented, "This past decade’ s net decline in earthly productivity suggests that a
complex relationship between temperature, rainfall, cloudiness, and carbon dioxide, probably in
combination with other factors such as nutrients(營(yíng)養(yǎng)）and land management，will determine
future patterns and trends in productivity.，，
小題1:From the first paragraph, we can learnin the recent decade or so.
A．the emission(排放)of carbon hasn’ t been reduced
B．draught has been causing loss of soil and water
C．carbon dioxide levels have been rising
D．the rise of temperature doesn' t promote the plant growth
小題2:Zhao Maosheng really worried that .
E.     more and more land will be abandoned
F.    the climate becomes warmer and warmer
G.   the emission of carbon dioxide increases
H.   draught further reduces the number of the plants
小題3:Steven Running made his statement to  .
I.      confirm Zhao' s views on the influence of temperature rise
J.     urge the government to take necessary measures
K.    warn the people to strengthen the plant protection
L.    support Zhao* s views on lhe plant production
小題4:We can infer from the passage that  .
A．global warming will determine the future productivity
B．various factors play a key role jointly on future productivity
C．earthly productivity actually increased in the past decade
D．temperature rise has had no effect on future producticity patterns
