Just a year ago, the colors were bright under the waves. Now it’s gray — the Maldivian reef is dead. The coral is killed by the pressure of rising temperatures.

Coral reefs are areas underwater where small creatures live. The coral is hard material formed on the bottom of the sea by the skeletons of those creatures. But the world has lost about half its coral reefs in the last 30 years. Scientists are working to prevent their destruction. Due to global warming, over 90 percent of corals are expected to die by 2050. “To lose coral reefs is to fundamentally undermine the health of a very large proportion of the human race,” said Ruth Gates, director of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology.

Why are coral reefs important? Coral reefs support a fourth of all marine species, as well as half a billion people worldwide. They serve as barriers to protect coastlines from the storms. They provide billions of dollars from tourism, fishing and other trade. They are also used in medical research for cures for diseases. “Everyone should be concerned,” said biologist Ove Guldberg at Australia’s University of Queensland. “This is not just some distant dive destination. This is the basic structure of the ecosystem we depend on.”

The ocean is getting warmer. A rising temperature of just one to two degree Celsius can force coral to expel the algae (驱逐海藻) that live there. This leaves their white skeletons uncovered. It is a process called “bleaching”. Sixteen percent of the world’s corals died of bleaching in 1998. The problem has become much worse in recent years.

“We’ve lost 50 percent of the reefs, but that means we still have 50 percent left,” said Ruth Gates, who is working in Hawaii to breed corals that can better withstand increasing temperatures. She is also trying to “train” corals to survive rising temperatures. Gates says it is time to start “thinking outside the box”— find creative ways to help them.

1.The underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 2 means ___________.

A.weaken B.regain C.promote D.overlook

2.What’s the major concern of the scientists like Ove Guldberg?

A.People won’t find a dive destination in the future.

B.The effort to save corals will turn out to be fruitless.

C.The destruction of coral reefs will affect the earth ecosystem.

D.The bright sea has lost its charm because of those dead corals.

3.The fourth paragraph is mainly about ___________.

A.the harm of algae B.the process of “bleaching”

C.the importance of coral reefs D.the change of ocean temperature

4.Ruth Gates’ attitude towards the protection of corals is ___________.

A.proud B.cautious C.optimistic D.casual

The first MP4 player was born years ago. Soon many music fans were wondering how fantastic it is! If you have been into technology enough, perhaps you may have a knowledge of the MP4. If not, you do need to know something before buying one, even if you are familiar with MP3. MP3 is the CD-like disc with greater capacity. How about MP4? This small digital product will really enrich the joy from listening to music. You can even feel the “touch” of music to your soul!

Now, some similar digital products advertised as “MP4 player” are simply MP3 players, which do not play video and MPEG format and also lack other particular functions. These products confuse some buyers, as they may think the “MP4” players simply mean they can do more than MP3.

What is MP4?

It is a multimedia container. It is not only used to store digital audio and digital video streams, especially those of MPEG, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and pictures. As a most modern container format, it allows streaming over the Internet.

With the help of a piece of MP4 video equipment, you can change various programs such as MPEG to MP4, ASX to MP4, AVI to MP4 and so on, which can be done very quickly and easily without any effect on the sound quality. By installing DVD-MP4 software, you can transfer particular music from a DVD to an MP4 video file. It really excites your listening music experience.

Then, there is MP4 advanced and you can set your own collection of all the programs—TV shows, games, and music. You can even see movies which are still running in cinema. What else digital product could you possibly ask for?

1.. It is suggested here that you should ______ before buying an MP4 player.

A. first be a music fan         B. have a knowledge of MP4

C. get familiar with MP3        D. buy a CD-like disc

2.. From the passage, we can see that MP4 is ______ MP3.

A. much bigger than             B. just as advanced as

C. not so particular as         D. more functional than

3..Which function of MP4 is NOT directly mentioned in this passage?

A.Storing digital audio and video streams.

B.Recording some movies in cinema.

C.Playing TV shows, games and movies.

D.Transferring particular music from a DVD.

4..From the last sentence, it’s clear that the writer tries to tell us it is ______.

A.reasonable to buy other digital products

B.impossible to buy something else

C.a very wise choice to buy an MP4

D.an exciting experience to buy an MP3

It was at the railway station ________ we first met 16 years ago.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

The Docklands Light Railway(DLR) took just three years to build at a cost of ￡77 million. It is London’s first Light Rail System, but its route follows that of a number of older lines, which carried the nineteenth century railways through the crowded districts of the East End.

The section of the line from the Tower Gateway Station to Poplar follows the line of one of London’s earliest railways, the London & Blackwell(1840), a cable-drawn railway(later converted to steam) which carried passengers to steam ships at Blackwell Pier, and provided transport for the messengers and clerks who went backwards and forwards between the docks and the city every day.

From Poplar to Island Gardens, a new line crosses high above the dock waters, and then joins the old track of the Millwall Extension Railway, built to service the Millwall Docks(1868) and to provide transport for workers in the local factories. This line was horse-drawn for part of its route, until the 1880s.

The Poplar to Stratford section of the DLR route was first developed by the North London Railway, built in the 1850s to link the West and East India Docks with the manufacturing districts of the Midlands and North of England. There were major railway works and sidings(岔线) at Bow until recently.

The trains are automatically controlled from a central computer, which deals with all signaling and other safety factors, as well as adjusting speeds to keep within the timetable; on board each vehicle, Train Captains, who are also fully qualified drivers, are equipped with two-way radios to maintain contact with central control. There are passenger lifts, and self-service ticket machines, at every station.

1.The history of the railway tells us that the DLR ______.

A.was begun in the nineteen century

B.follows some of the original line

C.will be finished in three years’ time

D.took three years longer than expected to complete

2.It appears that the Poplar to Stratford section of the DLR route was originally developed to ____.

A.make the transport of goods easier B.encourage trade abroad

C.promote the transport in England D.create employment at home

3.The trains on the DLR are controlled by ______.

A.drivers on the trains themselves B.two-way radios operated by the drivers

C.a computer on board the train D.a computer based elsewhere

I can hear the sound of insects and feel autumn is nearing. This means my year of study at Nara University of Education is coming to an end.

The time I've spent here has flown by so quickly. It seems as if I came here a month ago，but in reality I have to go home soon. When I came here，I missed my family and friends back home and found it hard to overcome loneliness，but on the other hand，I was interested in the new environment and had a lot of fun.

I had visited Japan three times before coming to study at this university，but when I started living in Japan，many days were filled with a mixture of anxiety and excitement. I sometimes made silly mistakes，but I thought this was the best way to learn about Japanese culture. I was not the only one that was not accustomed to the different customs of Japanese people.

My plan before coming to Japan was to make friends with some Japanese students in universities. However，I found my best friends were those who came from other countries. I didn't know much about other countries but I came to be more interested in them through making friends from different places，which made me aware of many different and sometimes hard-to-understand customs. Furthermore，I was surprised to see myself thinking more about my own culture and realized I should come to know it better.

I am really happy that I came to Nara. During my stay，I felt the closer connection between humans and nature here than in Europe.
