20.United Nations Climate Change Conference
The U.N.Climate Change conference opened in Copenhagen,Denmark on Dec.7th with some 15,000delegates and observers from nearly 200countries attending what is called the last best chance for an agreement to combat(與…戰(zhàn)斗) global warming.
Their aim is to find common ground,including on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions,promotion and transfer of new more eco-friendly technology and the necessary funding to make this possible,especially for the less developed and poorer nations.It also means coming up with long term vision and cooperation for the future.
Most scientists believe the warming trend is mainly caused by human activity,especially the use of fossil fuels(礦物燃料) and the cutting down of forests.Skeptics(懷疑論者) say global warming is part of a natural cycle of climate change.
In Copenhagen,experts and officials alike are  putting the emphasis on what people and governments can do to cut the emission of greenhouse gasses.
Scientists say a 25to 40percent cut in carbon-dioxide emissions is needed to control global warming.The European Union,China,and India have already pledged(保證) reductions.The United States is waiting for Congressional(國會的) approval for a proposal put forward by the Obama administration.
Barack Obama,President of the United States said,"Each of us must do what we can when we can to grow our economies without endangering our planet--and we must all do it together.We must seize the opportunity to make Copenhagen a significant step forward in the global fight against climate change.."
Desmond Tutu,Archbishop of South Africa said,"Worldwide,we have the chance to start turning the tide of climate change,but only if all governments commit themselves to a fair,binding(有約束力的) and sustainable climate agreement in Copenhagen."

56.From the first paragraph we can infer thatD.
A.people think that this conference is of no use
B.this conference is the last one to be held about the climate change

點評 新聞一般采用"倒金字塔"式結(jié)構(gòu)(即先說結(jié)果,再說重要事實,最后說次要內(nèi)容),但有的通訊敘述方比較靈活多變,有順敘、倒敘、中間或許還會有插敘、補敘等敘述方法,這就要求我們在閱讀時特別關(guān)注.必須在十分有限的時間內(nèi)運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀,搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句,捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點,并且理清文章脈絡(luò),把握語篇實質(zhì).

5.Erica David lives in Pinedale,Wyoming,USA,where winter can bring temperatures of below 35degrees Fahrenheit,howling winds,and a lot of snow.So it was just natural that she chose to study snow for her school science fair in the sixth grade.
Now a junior in high school,Erica is in her sixth year of snow experiments,and is well on her way to becoming a snow expert.She started with a basic question:Could snow fences be built to work better?
Snow fences are used to keep snowdrifts(雪堆)from covering areas like roads of train tracks,or to help build up snow where it can help with water shortages in spring when it melts(融化)."Also,I wanted to protect my animals better from blowing snow,"says Erica,who raises goats,sheep,and pigs.
Before she could test fence designs,Erica had to figure out what would act like real snow in her experiments."I tested flour,sugar,and salt before I settled on dishwasher powder,"she explains.
Science fairs offer students the chance to test theories,present findings to judges,and meet other researchers.Erica's many achievements include competing at the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge for middle school students and the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair,where students from around the world present their science research.
But perhaps the best reward is that her research is already being put to good use.She has come up with an improved snow fence design,and this year she's helping think out how to provide water supply to native plants,which have been killed off by drilling at nearby natural gasfields.
"Science fairs are an amazing experience,"says Erica."Just pick your true feeling and go for it."

72.What does the passage suggest to us?C
A.Science fairs are held for high school students in America.
B.Erica is the youngest show expert well known in America.
C.The environment brought much convenience for Erica to study snow.
D.The hope to contribute to her hometown made Erica experiment on snow.
73.In Erica's hometown,snow fences may play a part inD.
a.reducing the harm blowing snow does to animals
b.supplying water resource to the nearby gas fields
c.making up for the lack of water resource.
d.keeping the traffic smooth
A.a(chǎn),b,c            B.a(chǎn),b,d             
C.b,c,d            D.a(chǎn),c,d
74.Science fairs are attractive to students because theyB.
A.can have their research put into practical use
B.can have their scientific ideas tested out
C.a(chǎn)re allowed to help protect the local wildlife
D.can learn about the most advanced technology
75.Which of the following material can best replace snowing in Erica's experiment?D
A.Flour.         B.Sugar.
C.Salt.          D.Dishwasher powder.
