Effective environmental protection laws and other measures have led to the improvement of water quality in Tai Hu lake in Jiangsu Province.

The news was announced by officials from the provincial environmental protection bureau, which has just conducted an inspection of the lake area.

By the end of September, about 80 per cent of industrial pollutants met required standards and the lake is expected to be cleaner by the end of the year, officials said.

According to targets set by the State Environmental Protection Administration, all polluting enterprises must meet set standards by the end of this year or they will be shut down.

The Taihu Lake area, which surrounds the cities of Suzhou, Wuxi and Changshou, is one of the most economically developed areas in the country and has long enjoyed a reputation as the “l(fā)and of fish and rice”

However, the quality of water in the lake has been deteriorating（惡化）at an alarmingly rate in recent years, which has caused concern from the government and local people.

 Pollution is so high mainly because people do not have enough environmental awareness and have put economic benefits ahead of their surroundings.

Economic development in the area has been rapid with hundreds of factories being built. But officials say most of these do not have the anti-pollution equipment or measures they should have.

Because of the lack of waste treatment facilities, wasted water and other rubbish from residential areas in nearby towns and villages flow into rivers which are connected to Taihu Lake. This also contributed to the lake’s pollution.

 Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the provincial and local governments began to tackle the problem.

 Experts were invited to offer suggestions and laws and regulations were issued. All newly built factories and enterprises in the lake area were required to install necessary anti-pollution facilities before they can go into operation.

Also, some wasted water treatment works will be built in the three cities. 

72. We can know from the text that the Taihu lake area is a place where_____.

A. the water in the lake was very clear                      B. the factories are trying their best to protect the water

C. the economy has been developed best in the country

D. the people and the government are paying more attention to the pollution.

73. Most of the factories now _____

A. are sending the quite a little pollutant to the lake            B. can satisfy the required standards

C. have to stop their production                                      D. have to think of other ways to survive.

74. The reason why the pollution became so serious here is that ___

A. the people here didn’t know how to deal with the pollution

B. the factories thought the economy was the first

C. the local governments didn’t know the situation at all

D. the factories had no the technology to control the pollution.

75. After reading the text, we can learn that_____.

A. the economy development will do harm for the environment

B. we can not avoid polluting if we wish to develop our economy.

C. only the experts can deal with the pollution

D. pollution can't be the result of the economy development

Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer(同齡人) group.
The lack of right male(男性的) role models in many of their lives — at home and particularly in the school environment(環(huán)境) — means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture(文化) is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems — somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
【小題1】Why did Tom give up studying?

A．He disliked his teachers.
B．His parents no longer supported him.
C．It’s cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.
D．There were too many subjects in his secondary school.
【小題2】What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?
A．Peer groups.B．A special unit.
C．The student judges.D．The home environment.
【小題3】What should schools do to help the problem schoolboys?
A．Wait for their change patiently.
B．Train leaders of their peer groups.
C．Stop the development of street culture.
D．Give them lessons in a separate area.
【小題4】A teacher’s work is most effective with a schoolboy when he ______.
A．is with the boy alone
B．teaches the boy a lesson
C．sends the boy home as punishment
D．works together with another teacher

Planting trees around poultry farms can improve air and water quality -- and relations with neighbors. Research has shown that just three rows of trees near poultry houses can reduce the release of dust and ammonia(氨). They can also reduce the strong smell of ammonia gas.
The trees take dust, ammonia and odors in their leaves. They also provide shade from the sun, so they reduce cooling costs in summer. And they act as a windbreak, so they reduce heating costs in winter. Trees can also improve water quality around farms by removing pollutions from soil and groundwater.
Several years ago, people were objecting to the odor of poultry farms on the Delmarva Peninsula in the eastern United State s. Delmarva is where the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia come together. Two thousand farms there can each house an average of seventy-five thousand chickens.
Traditionally the farms used windows to provide fresh air in the chicken houses. Farmers rarely planted trees or tall crops around the buildings, so there would be no barrier to the airflow. But then farms began to use new ventilation systems. Instead of windows, the new systems used tunnel fans to circulate air. The fans directed airflow from the poultry houses toward the homes of neighbors.
Researchers began dealing with the problem in two thousand. They found that over a period of six years, planting three rows of trees reduced total dust and ammonia by more than half. And they found that smells were reduced by eighteen percent.
Farmers may think trees will take too long to grow and be effective. But some trees can grow quickly. At least one-third of the Delmarva farms have planted trees, technically known as vegetative environmental buffers. The idea offers a way to cut pollution, save money and energy, and make the neighbors happy.
【小題1】The second paragraph mainly tells us ______.

A．planting trees as much as possible
B．the advantages of trees
C．how to reduce heating costs
D．why trees are received
【小題2】The word “odor” in paragraph 3 means ______.
A．plantB．smellC．heightD．water
【小題3】The farms on the Delmarva Peninsula used to use ______ in chicken houses to provide fresh air.
A．treesB．tunnel fansC．windowsD．poles
【小題4】It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that ______.
A．three rows of trees are really good to the environment
B．researches began to realize the problem in 2000
C．most farmers show interest in planting trees
D．the trees growing quickly can be cut off in a few years

I used to feeling pressured to do well in exams. I was such afraid of falling behind that I kept thinking about studying every minute of the day. The pressure makes me out of breath.
To my disappointed, the more worried I was about my studies, the less effective I became. Later, I realized I just took pressure too serious. So I tried taking things easy by taking part in various activity out of class, enjoying music and even daydreaming about fun things. To my delight, this worked! Gradually，I became more anxious about exams and began to take pleasure in my studies. Pressure cannot avoided.
What counts is how to deal with properly, but above all, how to turn it into pleasure or challenge.

Recently a group of second-graders visited our school library to work on a “holidays around the world” project. The children created pictures showing holiday customs and then created voice recordings explaining what they drew.    1.    Now imagine taking things one step further and creating Podcasts in a classroom setting.

The term Podcast refers to an audio recording, linked to the Web, that can be downloaded to a personal MP3 player. The word is created from broadcast and from iPod—the wildly popular MP3 player from Apple.

Using audio with students isn’t new, of course. Teachers have used audiobooks at listening centers and recorded student voice on tape or CD for many years.    2.    Podcasts, however, can reach a much wider audience in a time frame outside the school days. Booktalking, an old way of getting kids excited about books, gets a tech assistance with Podcasting. Students can do some booktalking themselves; book review Podcasts seem to be another natural way for students to share what they know, providing an alternative to the book report.

  3.   Teachers made audio Podcasts, including visuals or video clips for any content area instruction and review. Some teachers have begun to record themselves teaching important concepts; this creates an account of information online for kids to access when they’re stuck on a homework assignment.   4.    Imagine being a classroom teacher in September who can actually hear how his or her students were reading in June the school year before.

You don’t need an iPod to make a Podcast.    5.   While an MP3 player is a popular and useful gadget, your audience doesn’t need MP3 players to listen, either. Your students and their families can use the computer to play back what you’ve recorded.

A. Audio and video files can also function as assessment tools.

B. It is clearly showed in the incident that student-created voice recordings are effective.

C. Podcasting is of vital importance to the classroom setting.

D. Podcasting is used for various excellent reasons.

E. You can make a Podcast if you have a computer, a microphone, and some free software.

F. Podcasting needs a variety of devices.

G. Voice and music have been seen as the original media for teaching.
