17、ally across our planet. Regional climate changes will likely be very 41 changes in the global average. Differences 42 could be in both the influence and rate of climate change. Furthermore, 43 things, whether they should be natural ecosystems or human settlements, are equally sensitive to changes in
18、 climate. And 44 , nations (and indeed regions within nations)vary in their ability to cope and adapt to global warming and a 45 climate. With that said, some nations will likely 46 more adverse effects than others, 47 other nations may benefit more than others. 48 nations are generally more easily
19、affected by the consequences of global warming. These 49 tend to be more dependent on climate-sensitive areas, such as agriculture 50 , and lack the resources to protect themselves against the changes that global warming may bring.

23、 way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics（热带） in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests. Biologically, we are losing the richest regi
24、ons on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks ,disappears. As many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things) live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is immea
25、surable. Take rubber for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the worlds commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazons rubber industry produces much of the worlds four million tons. And rubber is
26、an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use. Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect - or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxi
27、de in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen. Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 f
28、eet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late. Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got
29、 the answer. 51 The underlined word “synthetics” probably means . A natural rubber B tropical materials C man-made materials D commercial rubber 52 In the last paragraph the author tries to . A tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation B persuade people to buy something synthetic C warn pe
30、ople of the disastrous consequences of tropical deforestation D let people understand what tropical deforestation is 53 According to the passage ,which of the following is NOT true? A The forest are losing their function in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen. B Many of our daily uses are related to
31、the tropical forests. C Tropical plants can be used to make industrial products.

A puzzling B cold C supporting D opposed 55 Which of the following might be the best title for the
32、 passage? A Tropical Forests B Tropical Forests and Our Life C Saving the Tropical Forests D The Greenhouse Effects B The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink be
33、fore you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, and what sort of drinks youve had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks. In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if youre below the le
34、gal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol. It takes hours for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking session in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still a
35、ffected the next morning, or you could even find that youre still over the legal limit. In addition, if youve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit till late in the night. In a test with professional drivers, the more alco
36、holic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts and the less able they were to do it! So the only way to be sure youre safe is not to drink at all. Alcohol is major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers
37、killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice th
38、e legal limit. It is important to remember that driving after youve been drinking doesnt just affect you. If youre involved in an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill or injure. 56 Which of the following statements in NOT true? A Three standard drin
39、ks may cause some people to reach the legal limit. B There is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach the legal limit. C The legal limit for driving after drinking is 0.08g of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood. D The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching legal
40、 limit is the same for different people. 57 We may find that the alcohol in our blood is over the legal limit in the evening after we had a few drinks at noon because . A the drinks are too strong B the alcohol in our drink is likely to get out of our body C our body needs some time to get the alcoh
41、ol out of our body D our body is sensitive to alcohol 58 We may infer that even a professional driver if he drinks heavily. A will probably fail to pass through a set of movable posts B will certainly pass through a set of movable posts C will hardly be confident about their ability to pass through

44、ravel as cheaply as possible while enjoying the great scenery as much as you like? Backpacking is the way. As the most popular traveling choice among young western people, backpacking allows you to travel at your own free will. Carrying a tent, a sleeping bag and clothes, backpackers also need to pa
45、ck an attitude that will help them deal with many mental and physical challenges. The rich might stay in expensive hotels where everything is provided. But backpackers carry everything in a large bag and rely on themselves to travel through unknown places. To travel with as little money as possible,
46、 they stay in cheap hotels called youth hotels, or on the campuses of schools and universities, and they even sleep in railway stations, in tents, or under bridges. It is a thrill to put our ability to test and challenge ourselves with sorts of difficulties we might come across. So, backpacking is s
47、omething young people can hardly deny. Young people in Europe often travel around by train. Now, with place tickets dropping in price, more are traveling to distant countries, such as Australia and China. And some just travel within their own countries. But no matter where a backpacker travels, plan
