While scientists are worried that humans are causing higher temperatures on the Earth, a Maryland man, Ace, thinks we can save the world by spraying（喷射）huge amounts of water into the air.

Ace told the McClatchy News Service that at least 1,000 places should be chosen to spray water. The water would be sprayed between 20 and 200 feet into the air. Thousands of tons of seawater would be sprayed for years at a time.

The 1,000 sites would be picked after more studies. They would be mostly in the Northern Hemisphere(北半球). Ace says he would avoid tropical（热带的）areas of the globe. He says water turns to rain too quickly in these areas for his plan to work.

The water would be changed into vapor. That process requires heat. The water vapor would rise above the Earth. The water vapor would form clouds. The clouds would help in several ways. They would cool the Earth by reflecting sunlight. They would later turn into rains. The rains would provide another way of cooling the Earth.

Ace’s plan has gotten some support from a limited scientific study. Kenneth Caldeira is a climate scientist. He works at the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University in California. Caldeira tested some of the Ace’s figures on a computer program. The computer model is used by top scientists to study global climate change. The model showed that the plan might work.

“More tests are planned in 2009. Ideas like Ace’s should be considered carefully and with an open mind,” Calderira said. “Every brilliant（卓越的）invention in the history of technology looked a little bit mad when first put forward.”

65．What’s the purpose of Ace’s plan?

A. To reduce air pollution.

B. To make summer cooler.

C. To offer dry areas more rain.

D. To solve the problem of global warming.

66．According to Ace’s plan,___________.

A. planes would be used to spray water.

B. it would be best to spray water on rainy days.

C. seawater would be sprayed high into the sky

D.1,000 sites in the Southern Hemisphere would be chosen.

67．Why wouldn’t Ace spray water in tropical areas?

A. Water is changed into vapor too quickly.

B. Water turns to rain too quickly.

C. It is hard for vapor to form clouds.

D. It is bad for local plants to have too much rain.

68. It seems that Caldeira ____________.

A. takes Ace’s plan seriously

B. thinks Ace’s idea too crazy

C. doesn’t believe the computer’s result

D. agrees to carry out Ace’s plan right away

Many of the Earth's creatures die because of humans' choices. These choices have nothing to do with food or shelter or anything else that helps humans survive. What kills millions of animals all over the world is that humans want to make money by doing so.

People use parts of animals for everything from hats to handbags, from jewelry to ashtrays and to make powders that supposedly improve a person's life. Deciding that a species is endangered and protecting it by law are not always enough. People who kill wildlife illegally rarely get caught.

During the late 1980s, saving elephants became a popular cause. Wildlife protection groups made sure everyone saw pictures or films of elephants with their faces cut off for their ivory. These groups also proved that certain populations of elephants were decreasing. As a result, most people stopped buying objects made of ivory. Laws against poaching (偷猎) were made stronger. Many countries made importing ivory illegal. Killing elephants for their Ivory became more risky and less profitable (有利可图的).

However, concern for certain species will become weak after a while. In the late 1970s, people protested (抗议) against the killing of seal babies. Everyone was shocked to see young seals being killed in their icy habitat. The cruel activity stopped. But ten years later, the number of seal babies killed was higher than ever.

Other animal protection movements have come and gone, such as saving the whales and protecting dolphins. The whale population appears to have increased for now. And the laws are finally changed in America to protect the dolphins that swim with tuna fish in parts of the Pacific Ocean.

In the years to come, people's attention will probably turn to some other endangered species. Plenty of them urgently need attention. During this time, will the elephants be forgotten?

1.What leads to the disappearance of millions of wild animals?

A.The growing human population.

B.Humans’ hope for making a fortune.

C.Humans’ too much need for wild food.

D.Not having enough laws on wildlife protection..

2.What can you infer from the text about what happened in the late 1980s?

A.Wildlife protection groups did make great efforts.

B.Importing ivory in all countries is illegal.

C.Those who killed elephants all got caught.

D.Hunting was completely not allowed.

3.Why are seal babies mentioned in Paragraph 4?

A.To show the effort to protect seal babies.

B.To show an increasing number of seal babies.

C.To show the decrease of worry about certain species.

D.To show people’s protest against the killing of seal babies.

4.What does the author mean by using the underlined sentence?

A.Humans should choose some rare animals to protect.

B.Attention must be paid to saving some endangered wildlife.

C.Success has been achieved in quite a few cases of wildlife protection.

D.Concern and movements for animal protection should be always kept.

Until the invention of the steam engine, humans traveled the earth on foot. The slow travel meant that explorers frequently returned with stories about distant lands: some of them wild tales, some honest descriptions.

Barbara Klion, who has retired, knows what that’s like. As a walker who has toured Australia, Kenya and China on foot, her trips are the modern edition of an ancient tradition. For years, Klion and her husband, now 75 and 80 years old, traveled independently.

Walkers know that seeing the world on foot gives them a rare experience. Often travelers are attracted by local people and customs. They also get a beautiful and lasting impression of the scenery. Walking tours can be done in one’s backyard, but there are several destinations around the world that expose travelers to the best of nature and culture.

What to look for? A famous guide says that the essentials of a quality walk are great scenery, tolerable1 weather, suitable level of difficulty and something like ecology, history or culture. These may seem like unclear instructions, but the fun of walking tours is that many things are determined by the traveler.

Someone who appreciates hot climates, wildlife and flat areas could choose a walking tour in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. Travelers who don’t mind the cold and enjoy adventure could hike Patagonia, an area of southern Argentina east of the Andes.

In general, independent travelers can decide how far to go each day, while guests of a tour agency should expect to walk an average of four to eight miles a day. At the Fordland National Park, for example, there are several easy-to-difficult hikes, giving travelers many choices.

1.Which of the following does NOT make a quality walking?

A．Great scenery.

B．Tolerable weather.

C．A helpful companion.

D．Suitable level of difficulty.

2.According to the passage, compared with guests of a tour agency, independent travelers 　　　 .

A．can walk farther　 B．have more choices

C．face more difficulties D．spend less

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards walking tours?

A．Indifferent.　 B．Negative.

C．Worried.　　　　 D．Supportive.

4.The best title for the passage might be “　　　　 ”.

A．See the World on Foot

B．Barbara Klion, a Great Traveler

C．What to Look for

D．The Fun of Walking

For as long as humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a spoken language problem, communication can be carried out through sign language, in which gestures stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and people unable to hear or speak have often had to turn to this form of expression. When gestures describe words or ideas, they can often be used internationally. When used for spelling words however, where each gesture stands for a single letter, people must share the same written language.

Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not. A wink can be a way of showing that the person is only joking. A nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement.

Other forms of language can be found in Braille (a reading system of raised dots read with the fingertips used by the blind), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
