It’s always great to hear news about wildlife returning to where they once lived. For the first time in 8 years the small blue --- British’s smallest butterfly--- has been seen back at a nature reserve in Hertfordshire. This nature reserve has had a lot of work done recently in order to help butterflies. Management of the land has included bringing in sheep to keep the grass under control in a more natural way and planting wild flowers for butterfly species. The nature reserve is home to a number of butterfly species. In fact the way that this reserve has been managed means that it is probably the best reserve in Hertfordshire to see butterflies with at least 25 species now living in the area.There are a number of threats to British butterflies and the greatest threat is the loss of their habitat. Changing farming practice has affected British native butterfly species greatly with many more now being at risk. Butterflies are such an excellent species that they can clearly tell the situation of local environment because they are easily influenced by environmental changes, A wide species of butterflies will generally mean a healthy environment.The type of land management at the nature reserve in Hertfordshire offers a hope for many species of butterfly to live as usual.

DThere are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能) First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas. Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers. Third, there may occur the danger of a leak(泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen. Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster(灾难) is extremely high.71. Which of the following is FALSE? A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station. B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land. C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake. D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.72. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are ＿＿＿ . A. easy&&&&& B. impossible&&&&&&& C. reasonable&&&&& D. ineffective73. What do we learn from the last paragraph? A. The power station is a safe place. B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented. C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program. D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.74. What is this passage about?A.Uses of nuclear power.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B.Dangers from nuclear power.C.Public anger at nuclear power. &&&&&&&&&D.Accidents caused by nuclear power.75. As for the possible dangers of nuclear power, ______.
A. none of them can be completely avoided
B. effective measures have been taken to avoid them C. man will never be able to do anything about them D. one is usually the cause of another

ESport is not only physically challenging，but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches，parents，and other teammates，as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical，emotional，or psychological，and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable. The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can，for example，learn how to cooperate with others，make friends，and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware，at all times，that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find flaws（缺陷）in themselves. Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting，young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement（正面强化）should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again，criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.72．An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ____________. A．to make sports less competitive B．to make sports more challenging C．to reduce their mental stress D．to increase their sense of success 73．According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that____________. A．it can help them learn more about society B．it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves C．it enables them to find flaws in themselves D．it can provide them with valuable experience 74．Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ________. A．without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidence B．in order to make them remember life lessons C．believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development D．so as to put more pressure on them 75．The author’s purpose in writing the passage is ____________. A．to persuade athletes not to worry about criticism B．to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to young athletes C．to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement D．to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout

For Americans, a mosquito bite is an itchy bother. But for many in Africa, a tiny bite can be deadly. One million people die each year of malaria, a disease spread by infected mosquitoes. Most of these people live in Africa, and are under age 5.Malaria can be prevented and treated. However, many African nations don't have the funds to fight it. Nothing but Nets (NBN) hopes to change that. The United Nations Foundation created the campaign in 2006. The aim is to prevent malaria by covering sleeping areas with nets. Hanging bed nets treated with insecticide(杀虫剂) is the simplest way to stop mosquitoes from biting at night. The chemicals last four to five years. For $10, anyone can send a net to Africa and help save a life.So far, NBN has raised $19 million and delivered 700,000 nets to seven countries. Families are taught how to use the nets. Kids also get vaccines (疫苗)and vitamins. "Women line up for miles to get the medicine for their kids," says NBN director Elizabeth McKee Gore. "They understand the importance."So do kids in this country. "They get so excited thinking of ways to raise money," says NBN spokesperson and basketball star Ruth Riley.NBN's biggest fund-raiser is Katherine Commale, 7. She's been spreading the information about bed nets for the past two years. To show how they work, she and her brother made a video. "We teach that bed nets can save lives," she said.Katherine has raised $42,000 for NBN. "She just wants those who need a net to have one," says her mom, Lynda. "It's pretty simple to her." To find out how you can help, visit nothingbutnets.net.【小题1】We know from the passage that NBN is in fact _________.A．a deadly diseaseB．an organizationC．a piece of equipmentD．a game【小题2】The purpose of the passage is most probably ___________.A．to list the sufferings of the African peopleB．to introduce new ways to avoid mosquito bitesC．to call on people to offer their help to AfricansD．to tell people how to buy nets in Africa【小题3】 By saying “So do kids in this country” in Paragraph 4,the author means that kids in this country also ___________.A．know the importance of the bed nets B．know how to protect themselves C．lack nets to protect themselves D．suffer from malaria【小题4】 What do we know about Katherine from the passage?A．She set up the website nothingbutnets.net.B．She is the youngest money-raiser for NBN.C．She raised money by making and selling videos.D．She started working for NBN at the age of 5.

Lucky is the man who has no “skeleton in his closet.” When a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of, that he wants to hide, he is said to have a “skeleton in his closet.” Some people may have more than one skeleton.As we have noted many times, it is hard to find out how these expressions begin. Sometimes, we get some hard facts. But more often we have to depend on guesswork. And that is true of this phrase, which came from England.Before 1832, English law did not permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination, unless it was the corpse(尸体) of an executed(处决) criminal.But when it became legal, more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific study of medicine. It was helping in the advance of modern medicine. The demand had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors at high prices.We are told that a doctor would usually buy just one skeleton for scientific study. It became very important in his work. But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a thing. As a rule, the doctor keep his skeleton in some dark corner where it could not be seen, or hide it in a closet.After a time, people began to suspect every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet. From this suspicion, the phrase“a skeleton in the closet”took on a broader, more general meaning: to describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from discovering. It could be proof of a criminal act, or something much less serious. Well, that is one theory.One writer, however, believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened. It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton, clear proof of some old family shame or crime. Well, one man's guess is as good as another. But this sounds like a story by the great French novelist, Balzac.Balzac tells us of a man who suspected his wife of having a lover. The husband comes home by surprise. But she hears him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom. He enters her room and asks her if she is hiding her lover. He says he will not open the door to the closet if she promises him t He will believe her. She answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet.The husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet. His wife watches, knowing that her lover will never come out alive. But she will not change her story and admit her guilt.【小题1】Which of the following situations is now suitable for using the phrase “skeleton in the closet”?A．You have stolen something precious and hide them in the closet.B．You are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for research.C．If you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you should keep the skeleton secret.D．You have done a crime or done something foolish, but you want to keep others from discovering it.【小题2】Which of the following is right according to the text?A．In the 19th century, doctors realized the importance of anatomy (解剖) in the development of medicine.B．The doctors of the ancient times liked to collect as many skeletons as possibleC．The thieves stole skeletons from tombs in order to help the doctors.D．It is legal that corpses of anybody are cut open for scientific examination in history.【小题3】From the story Balzac told we know that the wife's lover must have become ______.A．a corpseB．a phraseC．a skeletonD．a storyKathy Calvin
