Small amounts of soot are safe,but large amounts can be dangerous.The govenment wants to limit this kind of pollution.It may stop people from using their fireplaces.
The air is tested every day.When soot levels are high,more than 65 micrograms of soot per cubic meter,factories must stop making smoke.The government thinks that limit should be much lower.
Factories produce the most smoke and soot.But the government thinks that all types of burning should be limited.The soot levels from factories and homes could be limited.Home owners may have to install new wood stoves that they comply with the new law.Or,they may not be able to bum on days when the air quality is bad.
Residents of some towns are fined if they violate the burning ban.Scientists hope these new regulations will make the air cleaner and less harmful to breathe.

A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃.Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate.Without the forest cover,these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere,warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns,potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.

In the past hundred years,humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源):land for crops,wood for paper and other products,land for raising farm animals.This action affects the environment as a whole.For example,a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests.People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.

There are two main reasons for this.Firstly,when people cut down trees,generally they can only use the land for a year or two.Secondly,cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now,but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.

Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store.More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests.However,fewer than l%of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value.It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.

72.Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they .

A.reflect more heat into the atmosphere

B.bring about high rainfall throughout the world

C.rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃

D.reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth

第2题:

In has been shown that children who smoke have certain characteristics.Compared with non-smokers they are more rebellious, their work deteriorates as they move up school, they are more likely to leave school early, and are more often delinquent and sexually precocious.Many of these features can be summarized as anticipation of adulthood.

There are a number of factors which determine the onset of smoking, and these are largely psychological and social.They include availability of cigarettes, curiosity, rebelliousness, appearing tough, anticipation of adulthood, social confidence, the example of parents and teachers, and smoking by friends and older brothers and sisters.

It should be much easier to prevent children from starting to smoke than to persuade adults to give up the habit once established, but in fact this has proved very difficult.The example set by people in authority, especially parents, health care workers, and teachers, is of prime importance.School rules should forbid smoking by children on the premises.This rule has been introduced at Summerhill School where I spent my schooldays.

There is, however, a risk of children smoking just to rebel against the rules, and even in those schools which have tried to enforce no smoking by corporal punishment there is as much smoking as in other schools.Nevertheless, banning smoking is probably on balance beneficial.Teachers too should not smoke on school premises, at least not in front of children

1、Which of the following is a common characteristic of young smokers?

A、Disobedience

B、Laziness

C、Lack of intelligence

D、Vanity

2、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A、Some children start to smoke out of curiosity

B、Many children start to smoke because they want to appear mature.

C、In order to have fewer children smokers, parents, teachers and health care workers should not smoke.

D、It is not as difficult to prevent children from starting to smoke as to dissuade adults from smoking.

3、The writer concludes that school rules to forbid smoking().

A、should be introduced, for it really works at the school where he once studied.

B、should not be introduced, for it may cause disturbance.

C、should be introduced though it may not work effectively.

D、needn't be introduced as long as teachers don't smoke in front of children.

4、The author's attitude towards his writing is().

A、objective

B、emotional

C、critical

D、indifferent

Ceremonial bathing(仪式性的沐浴)has existed for thousands of years and has many forms, one of which is the sauna. The Finns have perfected the steam bath,or sauna,which may be taken, usually in an enclosed room,by pouring water over hot rocks or as a dry heat bath.The Japanese, Greeks,Turks and Russians as well as Native Americans have forms of the sweat bath in their bathing rituals.Dry heat and steam baths had advocates in ancient Rome and pre-Columbian Americans used sweat lodges.
The earliest saunas were probably underground caves heated by a fire that naturally filled with smoke as chimney making was unknown at that time.A fire kept in a fire-pit would heat the rock walls of the cave.After reaching full heat,the smoke was let out of the cave and the stones would retain heat for several hours.A few people today say that the smoke sauna,"savusauna"is the only true sauna experience and that all saunas should have at least a background odor(气味)or smoke. Today most saunas use electric stoves,although gas and wood-burning stoves are available.
Saunas are relaxing and stress relieving. Those with muscle aches or arthritis(关节炎)may find that the heat relaxes muscles and relieves pain and inflammation(炎症).Asthma patients find that the heat enlarges air passageways of the lung and facilitates breathing. Saunas do not cure the common cold but they may help to alleviate congestion(减轻胸闷感)and speed recovery time. The body's core temperature usually rises 1—2 degrees while in the sauna,thus imitating a slight fever. The sauna could be considered to follow the old saying"feed a cold,starve a fever".The regular use of a sauna may decrease the likelihood of getting a cold in the first place.
Sauna is good for your skin as the blood flow to the skin increases and sweating occurs.Adults sweat about 2 pounds of water per hour on average in a sauna. A good sweat removes dirt and grime (污垢;尘垢)from pores and gives the skin a healthy glow. The loss in water weight is temporary as the body's physiological mechanisms will quickly restore proper volumes.The cardiovascular system(心血管系统)gets a work out(运动,锻炼)as the heart must pump harder and faster to move blood to the surface for heat exchange.Heart rate may increase from 72 beats per minute on average to 100一150 beats per minute.
A normal heart can handle these stresses but those with heart trouble wishing to begin to use a sauna should seek a doctor's advice. The elderly and those with diabetes(糖尿病)should check with their doctor prior to beginning to take saunas.Pregnant women should not take saunas,particularly in the first three months. Indeed,everyone just starting out should take short sessions(做某事的一段时间)at first to become accustomed to this type of bath.

Ceremonial bathing__________.
A:is called the sauna by Finns
B:is equivalent to the steam bath
C:has various forms
D:is held in an enclosed room

答案:C
解析:
第一段的第一句告诉我们,ceremonial bathing有多种形式,其中一种是 sauna。所以只有C是正确的答案。
根据文章第二段的第四句,smoke sauna被有些人认为是真正的sauna。句中“a background odor”也是指“烟熏的气味”。
该段最后一句:" The regular use of a sauna may decrease the likelihood of getting a cold in the first place.”第四句:"...they may help to...speed recovery time.”第一句: " Saunas are...stress relieving"。据此判断,A、B、C都是桑拿浴可以实现的。第三句:“Asthma patients find that the heat enlarges air passageways of the lung and facilitates breathing.”这不足以说明桑拿有治愈哮喘的作用。因此,应选择D项。
该段第三句:"A good sweat removes dirt and grime(污垢;尘垢)from pores and gives the skin a healthy glow.”据此判断A正确。
文章最后一段告诫有几种人不能蒸桑拿浴,其中包括心脏病患者、老人、糖尿病患者、孕妇等。所以D是正确答案。
