The Colors of Friendship

Blue interrupted, “You only think about the  22  , but consider the sky and the sea.

23   the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. Without my peace, you would all be  24  .”

Yellow chuckled (笑道), “You are all so serious. I bring laughter, fun, and   25  into the world.”

Orange started next to blow her trumpet, “I am the color of health and strength. I may be  26  , but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. When I fill the sky      27  , my beauty is so striking that no one gives another  28  to any of you.”

Red could stand it  29   and he shouted out, “I am the ruler of all of you. I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to  30  truth. I am also the color of passion and of love.”

Doing as they were told, the colors _38_ and joined hands. They formed a colorful rainbow. From then on, whenever a good rain _39_ the world, a rainbow appears in the sky. They remember to _40_ one another.

People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France  and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.?

About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.

The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture?writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.?

By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.?

These days, we can write down a story, or record information, without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds: drawing, photographs, signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere: in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily, and they can make a story much more interesting.?

A. the hunters wanted to see the pictures?   B. the painters were animal lovers?

C. the painters wanted to show imagination  D. the pictures were thought to be helpful

71. Which of the following statements is TRUE??

A. should be made comprehensible?                  B. should be made interesting?

       The weather predictions for Asia in 2050 read like a script from a doomsday(世界末日，最后審判日)movie. Many climatologists and green groups fear they will come true unless there is a concerted global effort to rein in greenhouse gas emissions.  

       In the decades to come, Asia -- home to more than half the world's 6.3 billion people -- will lurch（突然傾斜）from one climate extreme to another, with impoverished farmers battling droughts, floods, disease, food shortages and rising sea levels.

       "It's not a pretty picture," said Steve Sawyer, climate policy adviser with Greenpeace in Amsterdam. Global warming and changes to weather patterns are already occurring and there is enough excess carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come.

       Already, changes are being felt in Asia but worse are likely to come, Sawyer and top climate bodies say, and could lead to mass migration and widespread humanitarian crises. (人道主義危機)

       According to predictions, glaciers will melt faster, some Pacific and Indian Ocean islands will have to evacuate or build sea defenses, storms will become more intense and insect and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms.

All this comes on top of rising populations and spiraling demand for food, water and other resources. Experts say environmental degradation(環(huán)境惡化) such as deforestation(森林砍伐) and pollution will likely magnify the impacts of climate change. In what could be a foretaste of the future, Japan was hit by a record 10 typhoons and tropical storms this year, while two-thirds of Bangladesh, parts of Nepal and large areas of northeastern India were flooded, affecting 50 million people, destroying livelihoods and making tens of thousands ill. The year before, a winter cold snap(寒流，寒潮，驟冷)and a summer heat wave killed more than 2,000 people in India. 

59. Which of the following has the similar meaning to rein in?

       A. slow down, control        B. increase, enhance    C. bring in                       D. take in

60. According to the passage, which one is true?

       A. The changes of weather will never lead to mass migration and widespread humanitarian crises.

       B. The number of the population in Asia is the largest of all continents.

       C. Global warming and changes will happen in the near future if we don’t take any actions.

       D. Deforestation and pollution will not magnify the impacts of climate change.

 61. The reason why glaciers will melt faster is that                

    A. there is more and more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

    B. there is less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

   C. the weather changed suddenly.   

D. The reason is still unknown.

62. This passage is mainly about              .

           A. what kind of weather we like best.

           B. the whole world will not be suitable for us to live in.

           C. how to improve our environment.

           D. the weather predictions for Asia in the future and the reasons.
