There are many wetlands(湿地) in China and some of them have become the world’s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng,Jiangsu Province. They are home of many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve(自然保护区) is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine,too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands.
Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the important of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands around the world.

C
Education is not an end but a means to an end.In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them.Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.But we have already seen that free education for all is not enough; we find in some countries a far larger number of people with university degrees.They refuse to do what they think “low” work and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of professor.We can live without education, but we die if we have no food.If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in certain ways.Firstly each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability.Secondly, we should realize that all jobs are necessary to society.It is very bad to be shamed of one’s work.Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
小题1:What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Means of Education.B.The System of Education.
C.The Value of Education.D.The Type of Education.
小题2:From the second paragraph of the passage we know that ________.
A.work with hands is low work because it is dirty and shameful.
B.the work of the completely uneducated is the most important.
C.education is no more important than food in order to live.
D.we shouldn’t think of work with hands as low work.
小题3:What kind of educational system is valuable to society?
A.A large number of people can go to university.
B.Everyone can solve all the problems of society.
C.All the people can get free education.
D.Everyone must be educated differently to fit them for society.
小题4:What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Our society needs all kinds of jobs.
B.Free education for all is enough.
C.A farmer is more important than a professor.
D.People with university degrees shouldn’t do low work.

As most people know, in the past few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of North China, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people. It is expected that effective(有效的) measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.
So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms? Some experts put forward practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more funs(基金)ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection.For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting. Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.
How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze(微风)touching their faces now and forever! Nevertheless, I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tried his best to protect natural environment from today on.

In the near future, people in some parts of the world will watch a new kind of television. It is called the high definition television or the HD-TV. The main difference between an HD-TV and a normal television is the picture. It is more clear and detailed. This is because the HD-TV has many more points and lines that make a television image. Every color television picture contains thousands of red, green and blue points. They all come together as an image in the eye of the person watching. The points are organized in lines that go across the television screen. There are more than five hundred lines in a normal television. The HD-TV has two times as many. To get this clear picture, you must have a big screen. Experts say people using a small screen will see little difference.
The HD-TV also has clear sound. It is like the sound on a CD. All these improvements make an HD-TV very costly. One kind in Japan now sells for more than twenty thousand dollars .A major problem with the HD-TV is its broadcast signal(传播信号.The signal is bigger than normal because it carries more electronic information.
小题1: What is the main difference between an HD-TV and a normal television?  It is        .

Never argue with one's own understanding.
The whisper of intelligence is always there, whatever you do.
If you create a time lag (隔绝层) between the whisper of intelligence and understanding in you and your action, then you are preventing the brain from growing into a new size. When you argue with intelligence, when you postpone acting according to understanding then there is confusion, the brain gets confused.
The voice of understanding, the voice of intelligence has insecurity about it. How do you know that it is the right thing?
So we tend to ignore it. Instead we accept authority. We obey.
But the brain cannot be orderly, competent, accurate and precise if you do not listen to it, if you have no respect. We are so busy with the outside world and its force that the world that is inside us does not command that respect and reverence (敬重), that care and concern from us.
So one has to be a disciple (信徒) of one's own understanding, and look upon that understanding as the master.
Sometimes one may commit a mistake, it might be the whim (念头) of the ego and we might mistake the whim, the wish of the ego for the voice of silence and intelligence, but that we have to discover. Unless you commit mistakes, how do you learn to discriminate between the false and the true? In learning there is bound to be a little insecurity, a possibility of committing mistakes. Why should one be terribly afraid of committing mistakes?
So instead of accepting the authority of habits and conditionings, while one is moving one watches, and when there is a suggestion, do not neglect, ignore, or insult the whisper from within and from one's own intelligence.
小题1:What will happen if you refuse to follow your own understanding according to the above passage?
A.Your brain will become smaller.
B.You will never get help from authority.
C.You will hardly know the world.
D.Your own intelligence will stop growing.
小题2:What is the function of committing mistakes from the view of the author?
A.Mistakes can make one practical.
B.Mistakes can make one know the facts.
C.Mistakes can allow one more time to develop.
D.Mistakes can improve one’s judgment.
小题3: The whole passage is developed by ______.
A.facts and ideasB.reasoning and explaining
C.scientific experiments D.arguing and debating
小题4:The best title of the passage might be ______.
A.Never argue with your own understanding
B.Never believe any authority while arguing
C.Never neglect whispers from around you
D.Never stop training yourself.

The goal of earthquake prediction is to give early enough warning. The U.S. Geological Survey conducts and supports research on the likelihood of future earthquakes. Scientists estimate earthquake probabilities in two ways: by studying the history of large earthquakes in a special area and the rate at which strain(拉力)accumulates(积累)in the rock.
Scientists study the past frequency of large earthquakes in order to determine the future likelihood of similar large shocks. For example scientists researched the large earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay region during the 75 years between 1836 and 1911. For the next 68 years, no earthquakes of magnitude (震级) 6 or large occurred in the region. Beginning with a magnitude 6 shock in 1979, the earthquakes in the region increased dramatically; between 1979 and 1989, there were four magnitude 6 or greater earthquakes, including a magnitude 7.1 earthquake. So scientists estimated that the probability of a magnitude 6.8 or larger earthquake occurring during the next 30 years in the region is about 67 percent.
Another way to predict earthquakes is to study how fast strain accumulates. When plate movements build the strain in rocks to a critical level, like pulling a rubber band too tight, the rocks will suddenly break and slip to a new position. Scientists measure how much strain accumulates along a fault (断层) each year, how much time has passed since the last earthquake, and how much strain was released in the last earthquake. This information is used to calculate the time required for the accumulating strain to build to the level that results in an earthquake. This simple model is so complicated that such detailed information about faults is rare. In the United States, only the San Andreas Fault System has adequate records for using this prediction method.
Scientific understanding of earthquakes is of vital importance to the Nation. As the population increases, expanding urban development and construction encroach (侵蚀) upon areas susceptible(易受影响的) to earthquakes. With a greater understanding of the causes and effects of earthquakes, we may be able to reduce damage and loss of life from this destruction.
小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.What an earthquake is like.
B.How to predict earthquakes.
C.Where earthquakes often happen.
D.When a fault is formed.
小题2:That scientists study the history of large earthquakes in certain areas is to ultimately_________.
A.do research on the past frequency of large earthquakes
B.estimate the magnitude of similar earthquakes
C.forecast the possibilities of similar earthquakes
D.judge the specific location of future earthquakes
小题3:Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A.There were four magnitude 6 earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay region between1979 and1989.
B.The accumulating strain of the fault to a certain level results in the earthquake.
C.About 68 years after 1911, no earthquakes occurred in the San Francisco Bay region.
D.The fast increasing population on the earth is the main cause of the earthquake.
小题4:What is the critical factor of forming a fault?
A.The material of rocks.
B.The existing time span of the rocks.
C.The plate movements around the rocks.
D.The amount of strain released in the last earthquake.
小题5:According to the passage, we can know that the San Andreas Fault System____.
A.has a greater understanding of the causes and effects of earthquakes
B.stores much more information about the history of large earthquakes
C.offers the potential for doing research on the faults where strain accumulates
D.illustrates specifically how rocks along a fault are formed

Liverpool city council (市政厅) want to clear the city of fat pigeons (鸽子). They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because they normally eat seeds (种子) and insects (昆虫) for their main food, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city centre.
The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons makes the streets crowded (拥挤)with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces.
Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds—known as ‘robops’—will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different places. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years.
