A

Climate change has caused the disappearance of ice in Antarctic. It will not only do harm to wildlife in the area but also cause levels of oceans and seas around the world to rise. The old city of Venice, Italy has long been threatened by rising sea levels. Its old buildings, built on a body of water called a lagoon, are slowly “sinking”. When the city was founded about one thousand six hundred yours ago, the water level was almost two meters lower than it is today.

    Mount Kilimanjaro in northeastern Tanzania is the highest point in Africa, with five vegetation zones and many kinds of animals. The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. This will have a bad effect on the mountain’s plants and animals and on Tanzania’s travel industry. Also, a valuable record of thousands of years of weather history will also be lost if the ice melts. Scientists study pieces of the glacier to know the weather thousands of years ago.

    In the United States, the ice in the Glacier National Park in Montana may soon completely disappear because of climate change. In 1950, there were about 150 glaciers in the park. However there are only 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists say that the glaciers will be gone by 2030. Many kinds of plants and animals in this mountain park are also disappearing.

   Rising sea temperatures are greatly harming the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. In some areas, healthy yellow, brown and green reefs have turned white. The coral whitens when it becomes breathless because of high temperatures. Its food also becomes less and less because the water is deepening.

   These places are included in the book called “Disappearing Destinations: 37 Places in Peril and What Can Be Done to Help Save Them.” It aims to call on the world to protect these places of interest in danger.

56.Which of the following can show us the climate many centuries ago?

A.Old buildings in Venice

B.Mount Kilimanjaro

C.The Glacier National park in Montana

D.The Great Barrier Reef

57.From the third paragraph we can infer______.

A.there will be no life in the Glacier National Park in Montana in 2030

B.the present plants in the glacier National Park like warm weather

C.the weather in America half a century ago was colder than it is today

D.there is no ice existing in the Glacier National Park in Montana now

58.What makes the coral of the Great Barrier Reef turn white?

A.That the water around gets dirty

B.that it attacked by other animals

C.That it cannot get enough food

D.that the high temperature doesn’t suit it

59.The book “Disappearing Destinations: 37 Places in Peril and What Can Be Done to Help Save Them” is mainly about______.

A.the disappearing of wild plants and animals

B.the effects of disappearing ice in Antarctic

C.the travel places that are in danger now

D.the harm tourists do to the places of interest

60.What is the main idea of the passage?

B

    “China is expected to complete its first exploration (探索) of the moon in 2010 and will found a moon base just as we did on the North and South Poles,” Ouyang Ziyuan, head of China's moon exploration program, promised during national science and technology week.

After its first man in space, China plans a space laboratory, a lunar orbiter to look for valuable elements and minerals, robot landings on the moon and then the human touchdown.

The price of space exploration is enormous. Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.

But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.

Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (賭注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.

Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.

Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting（發(fā)起）a lunar program. Chinese scientists have also predicted that Mars will be the next target after the moon.

61．According to Ouyang Ziyuan ________.

    A．China has founded a base on the moon

    B．China has founded one base on the North and South Poles

    C．China will set up a base on the moon in 2010

    D．China has already finished founding a moon base 

62．The underlined word “touchdown” in the second paragraph means “________”.

    A．landing              B．relation               C．connection         D．behaviour 

63．Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?

    A．A second home is going to be built on the moon in 2010.

    B．China's first man has landed the moon in space.

    C．People from only two countries have been to the moon till now.

    D．Twelve Chinese astronauts are being trained for the manned flight to the moon.     

64．We think that the Chinese astronaut will succeed in landing the moon in 2010 because ________.

    A．China will ask for help from the USSR and the USA

    B．two countries have set up a space station on the moon

    C．China has a large population in the world

    D．China has its tradition technology and advanced scientists

65．We can infer from this passage that                .

       A．China’s robot landing in the moon has been successful

       B．the USSR and the USA don’t allow Chinese people to land on the moon

       C．Chinese scientists show great interest in exploring Mars now

       D．it is impossible for the Chinese people to land on the moon
