8.Unemployment will certainly be in double-digits next year--and may remain there for some time.And for every person who (50)C  as unemployed in the Bureau of Labor Statistics'household survey,you can bet there's another either too  (51)A to look for work or working part time who'd rather have a full-time job or else taking home less pay than before.And there's yet another person who's more fearful that he or she will be the  (52)Bto lose a job.
(53)D,10percent unemployment really means 20percent underemployment or anxious employment,all of which translates  (54)Dinto late payments on mortgages,credit cards,auto and student loans,and loss of health insurance.It also means sleeplessness for tens of millions of Americans,and,of course,(55)Apurchases.
Unemployment of this magnitude and duration also translates into ugly  (56)C,because fear and anxiety are  (57)Bgrounds for the political resentment against immigrants,blacks,the poor,government leaders,business leaders,Jews and other easy  (58)B.It's already started.Next year is a mid-term election.Be prepared for worse.
So why is unemployment and underemployment so high?And why is it  (59)Dto remain high for some time?Because,as noted,people who are worried about their jobs or have no jobs,and who are also trying to  (60)A from under a pile of debt,are not going to do a lot of shopping.And businesses that don't have customers aren't going to do a lot of new  (61)C.And foreign nations also suffering high  62)Baren't going to buy a lot of our goods and services.And without customers,companies won't  (63)D.They'll cut payrolls instead.
This brings us to the obvious question:Who's going to buy the stuff we make or the services we provide,and therefore bring jobs back?There's only one  (64)C left:The government.

16.
A.poisoned        B.destruction       C.survived       D.increased      E.especially
F.chemicals       G.concern          H.decline         I.occasionally     J.sensitive
More recent research has shown that many kinds of amphibians(兩棲動(dòng)物) are declining or have become extinct.Amphibians are animals,such as frogs,that live partly in water and partly on land.And they have been around for over 350million years.They have (41)survived three mass extinctions,including the extinction of the dinosaurs.Why are they dying out now?
The most serious aspect of amphibian loss,however,goes beyond the amphibians themselves.Scientists are beginning to think about what amphibian (42)decline means for the planet as a whole.If the earth is becoming unlivable for amphibians,is it also becoming unlivable for other kinds of animals and human beings as well?
Scientists now believe that amphibian decline is due to several environmental factors.One of these factors is the (43)destruction of habitat,the natural area where an animal lives.Amphibians are very (44)sensitive to changes in their habitat.If they cannot find the right conditions,they will not lay their eggs.These days,as wild areas are covered with houses,roads,farms,or factories,many kinds of amphibians are no longer laying eggs.
There are a number of other factors in amphibian decline.Pollution is one of them.In many industrial areas,air pollution has (45)poisoned the rain,which then falls on ponds and kills the frogs that live there.In farming areas,the heavy use of (46)chemicals on crops has also killed off amphibians.Another factor is that air pollution has led to  (47)increased levels of ultraviolet (UV) light.This endangers amphibians,which seem to be (48)especially sensitive to UV light.
All these reasons for the disappearance of amphibians are also good reasons for more general (49)concern.These factors affect human beings,too.

3.Durban,South Africa (CNN)-Coal is the new gold in South Africa-it's also one of the worst polluters on the planet.
South Africa is the world's fourth largest coal exporter with over 40billion tons of the fossil fuel in storage.But the host of the United Nations Climate Change Conference,currently taking place in Durban,is under increasing pressure to reduce its dependence on coal.
From South Africa to America,Europe to China,coal is the bedrock on which most world economies have been built.Reducing its use,many countries argue,will reduce productivity and growth.Even though the government is talking nicely about climate change we are not seeing the action.
Developed countries have promised to contribute﹩100billion towards a Green Climate Fund to finance developing nations to reduce their carbon release.But many fear these funds may never become reality.
Complicating matters even more is the argument around whether all the world's developing countries should be entitled to the fund.
In the meantime,with more power stations either being built or planned,South Africa's coal mining industry is likely to continue to grow.Europe has been South Africa's main coal export market,but orders from India and China have rapidly grown in recent years.Still,it is domestic demand that drives the industry:Over 90% of South Africa's electricity is generated from coal.
"This country has been mining coal since the 1860,"said Melita Steele of Greenpeace."It has formed the backbone of the economy and it's what Eskom knows.Less than 1% of this country's energy is green which is a sorry tale."
Several targets to create electricity from waste are already underway.Government says it has plans to use more sustainable energy.However,these ambitious promises may go up in smoke if the world fails to reach an agreement in Durban.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)

81.Though it is commonly thought to be one of the worst polluters,coal is consideredthe new gold in South Africa.
82.Europe,India,China and South Africa. have(has) been the dominant South Africa's coal market(s).
83.What ill effect may occur with the reduction of coal use?productivity and growth will be reduced
84.How else can South Africa produce electricity to save itself from coal addiction?(By creating electricity) from waste..

20.[1]Whether you're recovering from a foot injury or working hard to prevent one,a proper warm-up before athletic activity is important.You should start with a general warm-up.This  is intended to get your heart rate up and your muscle groups warm.Walking,gentle jogging or basic aerobics (有氧運(yùn)動(dòng)) are all good places to start.The general warm-up should increase your heart rate and speed up breath so that your blood becomes oxygen-rich and carries nutrients to the muscle groups you're about to work.
[2]After the general warm up,move on to basic stretching,which doesn't require a lot of movement.Stretch your legs,ankles,feet,arms,chest and back.After completing these basic stretches,you can move on to sport-specific stretching.They should focus on the muscle groups you're about to engage and prepare your body for the types of movements the sport requires.
[3]Failure to warm up properly before athletics can result in injuries.So don't forget to stretch your feet and ankles when warming up!Point and bend your feet.Gently roll your ankle in one direction,and then in the other direction.Rise up on your toes and then gently rock back so that your weight is on your heels.
[4]Cooling down after physical activity is just       warming up.First stretch the muscle groups and parts of the body you just worked the hardest.Then move on to general body stretching.And finally,cool down with a gentle aerobic activity that will gradually return your heartbeat to its resting rate.
[5]Properly fitting athletic shoes are also important to preventing foot injuries.Look for athletic shoes specific to your foot type.People with high arches (足弓) should buy shoes which have a lot of support,and people with fallen arches should look for shoes that advertise motion control.Buy your athletic shoes a half size bigger than your normal size as feet tend to increase in size when you exercise.

76.What is the text mainly about?(no more than 6words)
Ways/How to prevent foot injuries/Away from foot injuries
77.Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 4words)
