    　　Faced with the threat of water shortages, Beijing and Shanghai will take effective measures to save water and protect water resources.

    　　Beijing will stick more strictly to water saving policies through the readjustment（重新调整）of industrial structures. Beijing is expected to be short of 1 185 billion cubic meters of water by 2020. Beijing will shut down factories with high water consumption（消耗）and pollution including electric power, steel and paper manufacturing equipment. Advanced and water-saving technology will be introduced to new industrial projects in the capital city.

    　　Grain-growing areas will be reduced to save ground water and more trees will be planted. Animal breeding and other “high efficient” agriculture with modern water-saving irrigation methods will be developed.

    　　It is said that water used in agriculture will drop to 35 percent of the city's water consumption in 2010 from 43 percent in 1998,and the figure will continue to drop to 28~30 percent in 2020. Beijing will increase the speed of renovation（修复）of its urban water supply equipment. It is reported that more than 15 percent of water is lost during distribution（分布）. Water saving equipment and efficient management can save Beijing more than 537 million cubic meters by 2010.

    　　Shanghai still faces key problems connected with its water resources and environments. Since 1998, the city has invested nearly US $ 169 million to treat its rivers, especially Suzhou Creek. The city's rivers have become noticeably clearer since putting it into action.

    　　The government will provide a further US $ 24 million for the treatment of rivers and US $ 12 million to treat sewage（污物）.

    　　This year's task is to improve the water quality at the three ports of Longhua, Yangshupa and Hongkou. Another emphasis to raise the water system is Songjiang New Area with a project worth US $ 4.8 million. Efforts will be made to improve public awareness about the need to protect water resources.

    (1) How many measures has Beijing taken to save water and protect water resources?

    [　　]

    A．Three.
    B．Four.
    C．Five
    D．Six.

    (2) Grain-growing areas in Beijing will be reduced because __________.

    [　　]

    A．grain can't fetch a good price in China

    B．a lot of ground water will be saved by this means

    C．Beijing helps to develop advanced industry

    D．highly effective agriculture needs less farmland

    (3) Beijing can save over 537 million cubic meters by 2010 by means of __________.

    A．water-saving equipment

    B．effective management

    C．artificial rain fall

    D．reducing water pollution

    [　　]

    答案：C:B;A
    解析：

    (1) 短文第二段和第三段各讲了两种措施，第四段又讲了一种，一共讲了五种节水和保护水源的方法。

    (2) 短文第三段首句中Grain-growing areas will be reduced to save ground water说明，减少粮食种植面积的目的是为了节约地下水。

    (3) 从短文第四段最后一句Water-saving equipment and efficient management can save Beijng more than 537 million cubic metres by 2010．可以看出，借助于节水设备和有效的管理，北京可节省5亿3千7百万以上立方米的水。

    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案.

    　　Looking ahead to 2010, it appears financially（资金上）impossible to accommodate 85,000 new students in classrooms at public four-year universities. Fortunately, such an approach（方法）is not necessary. Indeed, it's not even appropriate（合适的）.

    　　Several forces are riding to the rescue. The two most important are distance learning and community and technical colleges. These will not eliminate the traditional setting where bachelor'（学士）and graduate degrees are earned. But they will be able to handle much of the growth in enrollments and the demand for higher education.

    　　“When faced with a problem created by technology, apply more technology,” a late journalist once asserted. Higher education seems to be an example. New learning technology is a crucial tool in teaching new technical skills.

    　　William Richardson, president of Johns Hopkins University, praised “Western Governors' University”--a virtual institution（虚拟大学）that uses the Internet and other information technology to overcome the vast distances of the West and reach people with education. “Just as the extremely controlled high school of old was perfect training for an assembly-line work force, so today's college is equally appropriate as a setting for a society whose members must acquire and manage knowledge from a wide variety of sources,” he notes.

    　　Eastern Washington has long been a leader in this movement. For the past decade, Spokane's Education Service District 101 has brought the best teachers in the region to rural classrooms via satellite uplink. Washington State University（WSU） president Sam Smith reports that, during the same period, WSU managed a one-third increase in students with only 2 percent more faculty.

    　　It's been done by holding growth at the main campus almost flat, setting up three branch campuses, locating learning at community colleges, and offering an extended degree program where students learn at home. In each case, technology is used to extend the “reach” of faculty.

    　　The other cost-effective strategy is reliance on community and technical colleges. Here, Washington State has an edge. Its public two-year colleges provide the most extensive coverage in the nation. Jean Floten, president of Bellevue Community College, notes the system served 425,000 adult enrollees last year-a tenth all the state's adult population. Almost half were there for job training versus 40 percent for academic preparation.

    （1）According to the author, to enroll more students, universities do not have to ________.

    [　　]

    A. enlarge their campuses

    B. gain additional technical support

    C. retain the traditional academic setting

    D. accommodate more faculty members

    （2）When the author says “Higher education seems to be an example” Paragraph 3, he means problems with higher education can be solved by all EXCEPT ________.

    [　　]

    A. applying new learning technology

    B. using Internet and other information technology

    C. teaching new technical skills

    D. setting up more technical colleges

    （3）It is implied in Paragraph 4 that to cope with the new problem, we should ________.

    [　　]

    A. set up new campuses

    B. train more assembly-line workforce

    C. provide knowledge through diverse means

    D. reinforce high schools of old

    （4）What has made possible “a one-third increase in students with only 2 percent more faculties”? _______.

    [　　]

    A. Technical and community college

    B. New advances in science and technology

    C. More learning centers

    D. New school curricula

    （5）Which aspect of education is mainly discussed in the text? ________.

    [　　]

    A. Traditional approaches

    B. Top-ranked universities

    C. Cost-effective strategies

    D. Technology-based business

    　　For years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists．In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy

    　　B．Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science．” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science．” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment．“The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science．”

    　　The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments．Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments－the tools of psychology－bring more lasting benefits than drugs．

    　　You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist．Although many treatments are effective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them．

    　　Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”．Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment(if any)they have, “and psychologists remember these successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment．”

    　　When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works．A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient．If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself．”
