28、on-the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland. During the 20th century, sea level rose 8-12 inches. As a result. Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the countrys drinking water. Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Po
29、licy Institute that the nation suffered an unusaually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms. Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing
30、 to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（排放） , which are a main cause of global warming. “ By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to
31、 live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years, Laupepa told the BBC. Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries. Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable（易受影响的） to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the

35、at great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems. Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius are linked. Dr Adele Juda studied 5,000 creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental i
36、llness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower numbers for painters and architects. Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity. But, it did nothing to expla
37、in it. Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative people, she took a group of psychiatric (精神病的 ) patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a normal group. Also, the patients close relatives were much more creative
38、 than the patients and a normal group. This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes (基因 ). But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists believe that evolution (进化 ) has created a balance, where the mad
39、ness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race. Geniuses may be mad, bad or just difficult to under- stand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all. 51. According to Dr Adele Juda, which of the follow
40、ing has the lowest rate of mental illness? A. Painters. B. Musicians. C. Poets. D. Bus drivers. 52. The underlined phrase make a breakthrough in the 4th paragraph means .

41、clouds). D. suddenly change (from a slower to a faster pace) 53. Based on the research of Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University, we can conclude that . A. great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems B. the patients close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a n
42、ormal group C. psychiatric patients have more creativity than the average people D. it is our genes that determine the link between creativity and mental illness 54. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Among the 5,000 creative Germans, more people suffer from mental diseases. B. There
43、is a strong link between mental problems and creativity. C. Psychiatric patients make greater contributions than common people. D. The key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes. 55. What is the writers attitude toward madness? A. Madness is harmful to the whole society. B
44、. A little creative madness is good for us all. C. All the talented people are mad. D.
