more than two thirds of the land of the expo garden has been covered with trees and grass in the past few years答案解析

Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles（困扰） old Harold.

How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the sofa? Talking?

What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?

Betty shrugs. Talk? We're friends.

Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is "marked and unmistakable."

More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress （感情危机）. "Most women," says Rubin, "identified（认定） at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives."

"In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women's friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men's relationships are marked by shared activities." For the most part, Rubin says, interactions （交往） between men are emotionally controlled -a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior."

"Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes, "the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."

71. What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that ______.

A. he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband    B. women have so much to share

C. women show little interest in ballgames        D. he finds his wife difficult to talk to

72. Rubin's study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to ______.

A. a male friend     B. a female friend C. her parents        D. her husband

73. According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society?

A. Ending his marriage without good reason.

B. Spending too much time with his friends.

C. Complaining about his marriage trouble.

D. Going out to ballgames too often.

74. Which of the following statements is best supported by the last paragraph?

A. Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.

B. Women are more serious than men about marriage.

C. Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.

D. Women depend on others in making decisions.

75. The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around _____.

A. happy and successful marriages       B. friendships of men and women

C. emotional problems in marriage       D. interactions between men and women

4.The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around________ .

The run-up to the launch of China's first lunar orbiter at the end of this month has caught the country's imagination, with more than two thirds of the nation hoping to see the launch live on TV, according to a survey.                              

According to the survey by China Youth Daily and www.qq.com, almost the entire nation hopes to catch images of the event at some point, with 99 percent of the 10358 respondents saying they expected to witness the satellite launch and 68.9 percent said they were certain to watch the live broadcast of the launch. On www.qq.com and www.sina.com, two popular web portals in the country, internet users have contributed some 2,000 poems and 5000 drawings on the theme of Chang'e I.

"The satellite launch means much more than just saying 'hello' to the moon. Maybe in the future we could also send some people to accompany sister 'Chang'e'," said a college student in the survey.

Remarkably, many people expect to visit the moon one day, with 93.4 percent of respondents saying they expected to do so.

Chang'e I is named after Chang'e, a famous character from Chinese mythology. She ascended from earth to live on the moon as a celestial being after drinking an elixir.

There is also another connection between the moon and China. In the 1970s, a crater on the moon was named after a Chinese stargazer, Wan Hu, who is said to be the first astronaut in human history.

Legend says about 600 years ago, around the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Wan Hu, a local government official, tried to fly into space with the help of a chair, two big kites and 47 self-made gunpowder-filled rockets. According to the legend after the rockets were lit there was a huge bang and lots of smoke. When the smoke cleared Wan was nowhere to be found.

China's first astronaut flew into space in 2003 with the launch of the Chinese-made spaceship Shenzhou V. China became the third country, after the Soviet Union and the United States, to carry out manned space missions.

Which is true according to the passage?

 A. According to a survey, two thirds of the nation are hoping to see the launch live on TV,

 B. The internet users have drawn some 5000 pictures of ‘Chang’e’.

C. Wan Hu, a Chinese stargazer(n. 看星星的人,占星师,天文学家) , was dead after the huge bang and a lot of smoke.

 D. China’s first astronaut flew into space in 2003 in the spaceship Shenzhou VI.

What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 5?

A. a kind of medicine for long life. B. a kind of medicine to make you light enough to fly in the air.

C. a kind of wine               D. a kind of alcohol.

Why was Wan Hu said to be the first astronaut in human history?

 A. Because a crater on the moon was named after his name.

 B. Because he was the first to go to the moon in his own “spaceship”.

 C. Because of his courage for scientific experiment to the moon.

 D. Because he made the first rocket in human history.

　　One of the greatest sea tragedies that have ever occurred was that of the steamship Titanic. It was the first trip of the giant ship. There were more than two thousand people aboard on their way to the United States from England. On the night of April 14,1912, the sea was calm. The weather was beautiful. People were dancing in the spacious salon. Music, laughter and singing could be heard everywhere. The thought of danger was far away. Suddenly, just before midnight, the sailor on guard cried,“An iceberg!”Before the ship could change her course, the iceberg had torn a huge hole in the bottom of the ship. Nothing could be done. The ship began to sink and the passengers tried to escape, but there weren't enough lifeboats. Another ship was passing nearby. The Titanic fired rockets into the air in order to get the other ships' help. It could have saved most of the passengers, but it did not even stop. More than two-thirds of the passengers went down with the Titanic. It was one of the greatest sea disasters of all time. The new ship went down the sea.

B．In case the other ship gave a hand in time, more passengers would have been rescued.

　　Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles(困扰) old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ball game, come back three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the sofa, talking?

　　What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?

　　Betty shrugs. Talk? We're friends.

　　Researching this matter called friendship. Psychologist Lilian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable”.

　　More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(感情危机). “Most women,” says Rubin, “identified(认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.”

　　“In general,” writes Rubin in her new book, “women's friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men's relationships are marked by shared activities.” For the most part, Rubin says, interactions(交往) between men are emotionally controlled－a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior”.

　　“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,” Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”

1．What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that ________.

[　　]

A．he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband

B．women have so much to share

C．women show little interest in ballgames

D．he finds his wife difficult to talk to

2．Rubin's study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to ________.

[　　]

3．According to the text, which type of behavior is NOT expected of a man by society?

[　　]

A．Ending his marriage without good reason.

B．Spending too much time with his friends.

C．Complaining about his marriage trouble.

D．Going out to ballgames too often.

4．Which of the following/statements is best supported by the last paragraph?

[　　]

A．Men keep their innermost feelings to themselves.

B．Women are more serious than men about marriage.

C．Men often take sudden action to end their marriage.

D．Women depend on others in making decisions.

　　One of the greatest sea tragedies that have ever occurred was that of the steamship Titanic. It was the first trip of the giant ship. There were more than two thousand people aboard on their way to the United States from England. On the night of April 14,1912, the sea was calm. The weather was beautiful. People were dancing in the spacious salon. Music, laughter and singing could be heard everywhere. The thought of danger was far away. Suddenly, just before midnight, the sailor on guard cried,“An iceberg!”Before the ship could change her course, the iceberg had torn a huge hole in the bottom of the ship. Nothing could be done. The ship began to sink and the passengers tried to escape, but there weren't enough lifeboats. Another ship was passing nearby. The Titanic fired rockets into the air in order to get the other ships' help. It could have saved most of the passengers, but it did not even stop. More than two-thirds of the passengers went down with the Titanic. It was one of the greatest sea disasters of all time. The new ship went down the sea.

       [1] Rising temperatures have forced many plants to climb to higher elevations（海拔）to survive, researchers reported．

       [2] More than two-thirds of the plants studied along six West European mountain ranges climbed an average of 29 meters in altitude in each decade since 1905 to better conditions on higher ground, the researchers reported in the journal Science．

       [3] “This is the first time it's shown that climate change has a significant effect on a large set of forest plant species,” said Jonathan Lenoir, a forest ecologist at Agro Paris Tech in France, who led the study．“It helps us to develop our understanding of how ecosystems respond to temperature changes．”

       [4] The French team's findings suggest plants at high altitudes face the same or greater impacts from rising temperatures．“Plants species move where it's the most suitable for them to grow,” Lenoir said．“If you change these good conditions, species will move to recover the same conditions．”

       [5] Using database on plant species found at specific locations and elevations stretching back to 1905, the researchers showed many plants have steadily climbed higher to conditions best suited for survival and growth．

       [6] Plants move higher when they disperse （分散） their seeds in the wind, which blows them to high elevations and cooler temperatures similar to their former location, Lenoir said．

       [7] The researchers tracked 171 forest plant species during two periods-between 1905 and 1985, and from1986 to 2005--along the entire elevation ranging from sea level to 2,600 meters．They found that two-thirds of the plants responded to warming temperatures over that time by________________________________．

       [8] Plants at higher altitudes also appear most sensitive to warmer conditions because slight temperature changes at higher altitudes have a bigger impact．
