More than 11,000 scientists are warning that the Earth, in their words, "clearly and unequivocally （明确地）faces a climate emergency.” The scientists represent several fields of study and come from 150 countries around the world. They approved a report that appeared in the publication Bioscience earlier this month. It warns that the world would face "untold human suffering" if it does not make deep and lasting shifts in human activities that influence climate change. Three leaders of the study are from the United States. They worked on the study with scientists from universities in South Africa and Australia. This is the first time a large group of scientists have jointly （共同地）used the word "emergency" when talking about climate change.

"Despite 40 years of global climate negotiations ...we have generally conducted business as usual and have largely failed to address this worrying situation,” the study said. “Climate change has arrived and is accelerating faster than many scientists expected."

The report identified five areas that the world needs to deal with immediately. The scientists appealed to nations to use energy more efficiently and cut their use of fossil fuels. They suggested that lawmakers approve taxes on the burning of carbon-based fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas. The report urges people to move toward more of a plant-based diet. Other areas of concern include preventing the destruction of forests and permanent loss of some plant and animal species. The report noted that it will most likely take strong actions by the public to move politicians to approve lasting policy changes.

The scientists added, "We believe that the prospects （前景）will be greatest if decision-makers and all of humanity quickly respond to this warning and declaration of a climate emergency, and act to support life on planet Earth, our only home.”

1.What will happen to people if they don't stop the activities that influence the climate change?

A.They will have no places to live in.

B.They will be fined and lose their jobs.

C.They will become bored with their life.

D.They will go through a lot of sufferings.

2.What have people done when facing the climate change in the past 40 years?

A.They have ignored the scientists’ warning,

B.They have solved the problem successfully.

C.They have talked too much but done too little.

D.They have realized the problem isn’t that serious.

3.In which paragraph can we find the advice from the scientists about ways to control the climate change ?

A.Paragraph 1. B.Paragraph 2.

C.Paragraph 3. D.Paragraph 4.

4.What is the best title for the text?

Fun is, in fact, a word heard far more frequently in families today than in the past, when "duty'' and "responsibility" were often the words used.

Parents today are more youthful in appearance and attitudes. Their clothes and hair-styles are more casual, helping to bridge the divide. Those who are athletically inclined also enjoy Rollerblading, snowboarding, and rock-climbing with their children.

For the past three years, Kathy and Phil Dalby have spent at least one evening a week at a climbing gym with their three children. "It's great to be able to work together," Mrs Dalby says. "We discuss various climbs and where the hard parts are. Sometimes that leads to other Conversations. We're definitely closer."

A popular movement of parent effectiveness training in the 1970s has helped to reshape generational roles. The philosophy encourages children to describe their feelings about various situations. As a result, says Robert Billingham, a family-studies professor at Indiana University, "Parents and children began talking to each other in ways they had not before."

On the plus side, he adds, these conversations made parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to be aware of.

But Professor Billingham also sees a downside: Many parents started making decisions based on what their child wanted. "The power shifted to children. Parents said, 'I have to focus on making my child happy', as opposed to 'I have to act as a parent most appropriately'."

Other changes are occurring as the ranks of working mothers grow.  Time-short parents encourage children's independence, making them more responsible for themselves. "They'll say, 'We trust you to make the right decisions' (whether they're ready to assume the responsibility or not) ,"says Billingham.

The self-esteem movement of the past quarter-century has also affected the family dynamics (原动力). Some parents worry that if they tell their child no, it will hurt the child's self-esteem.

1.What's the trend in parent-child relationship mentioned in the passage?

2.Which of the following has NOT contributed to the change in the parent-child relationship?

3. What's Billingham's attitude towards parents who make children more responsible for themselves?

4.What will probably be discussed following the last paragraph?

5.What's the best title for the text?

More than 2,000 years ago, when the last shovelful(一铲) of dirt fell on the Tarracotta Warriors, it was thought that they would never see the sunlight again and would spend the rest of their “lives” guarding and protecting the first Chinese emperor, Qinshihuang, who died in 210 BC.

But things got better off these clay soldiers. Ever since they were discovered in Xi’an in 1974,by a group of farmers; they’ve been able to see the bigger world-traveling from one museum to the next.

They are now on display in New York at Discovery Times Square, reported the New York Times.

However, the story doesn’t end here. The roughly 2,000 soldiers found so far are estimated to be only one quarter of the total number. Moreover, scientists haven’t yet dared to touch the central tomb, which is believed to contain the body of the emperor himself.

“Partly it’s out of respect for the elders,” explained Kristin Romey, consultant for the exhibition. “But they also realize that nobody in the world right now has the technology to properly go in and excavate(挖掘) it.”

This is true. According to ancient writings, the emperor’s tomb is circled by rivers of liquid mercury(水银) which is highly poisonous but can keep the body in good condition. Studies of the soil around the tomb also found a large amount of mercury. This makes exploring the tomb very dangerous.

The other reason that scientists have been hesitating is that they are afraid of the damage they might cause by opening the tomb.

“When we began excavating ‘the soldiers’, the minute they were exposed to air and sunlight, the pigment(颜料) just flaked off (剥落),” Romey told the Fox News.

But he believes that the solution will come when science advances. Perhaps a visual robot can be sent into the tomb first to investigate and help figure out the best way to protect it.

In the end, scientists and historians must weigh their desire to know against the damage their digging might cause. “Archaeology, ultimately (最终),is a destructive science,” Romey said. “You have to destroy stuff in order to learn about it.”

1.What is the point of the article?

A.To tell about the mysteries of Qinshihuang’s tomb.

B.To analyze why archaeology is a destructive science.

C.To explain the risks of further excavating Qinshihuang’s tomb.

D.To introduce the Terracotta Warriors exhibition in New York.

2.What can be concluded from the article?

A.The decision whether to open the tomb or not is likely to be influenced by the pace of technological progress.

B.It is estimated that about 10,000 clay soldiers were buried with Qinshihuang in his grave.

C.The highly poisonous mercury was used by Qinshihuang to keep away those who attempt to destroy his tomb.

D.Scientists won’t excavate Qinshihuang’s tomb until they think of a good way to preserve the body of the emperor.

3.The underlined word “investigate” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means________.

A.settle down B.arrange

C.take over D.explore

4.What should scientists and historians pay attention to in their work according to the article?

A.They should respect the ancient world during their work.

B.They should balance the value and damages of their work.

C.They should always take their own safety into consideration.

D.They should have a continuous desire to know new things.
