三、阅读：

A.

Against the supposition that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.

    This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest fires to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over the next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.

    This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.

    Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧） levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing more radiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.

    “We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in the amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicted, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.

21. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may __________.

A. result in a warming climate          

B. cause the forest fires to occur more frequently

C. lead to a longer fire season            

D. protect the forests and the environment there

22. The following are all the immediate effects after a forest fire EXCEPT __________.

A. large amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere

B. the levels of ozone which is a type of oxygen increase

C. snow on the ground mirrors more sunlight back into space

D. ashes from the fire fall on the ice surface and take in more radiation from the sun

23. Earlier studies about northern forest fires __________.

A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate

B. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphere

C. suggest that people should take measures to protect environment

D. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming

24.The underlined phrase “soak up” in the last paragraph most probably means __________.

A. released   B. absorbed    C. created    D. distributed

25. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may __________.

A. warm the climate as the supposition goes

B. allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climate

C. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea ice

D. help to gain more energy rather than release more energy

The charity match between the Chinese national team and the NBA invitational outfit（团队）will be played on September 14 at a venue yet to be decided after Houston Rockets center Yao Ming followed a suggestion by Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash.

"When I played a match with Nash's team, he asked me whether I wanted to do some charity activities," Yao explained. "Especially for the education of poor children and I thought it was a good idea."

As well as the backbone of the Chinese national team, the match will feature two-time MVP Nash, Denver Nugget Carmelo Anthony, Golden State Warrior Baron Davis, 2007 NBA No 1 draft Greg Oden, Phoenix Suns player Leandro Barbosa and Yao teammates Bonzi Wells, Chuck Hayes and Mike James.

Although only just returning to training from injury, Yao said he would try to recover as much as possible before the match.

The Yao-Nash Gala（体育竞赛）will also include a charity auction banquet the day before.

All funds raised at the dinner and by the match will be presented to the China Youth Development Foundation, which started Project Hope in 1989.

The money will go towards setting up Project Hope primary schools for poor children in western China, help upgrade teaching facilities of schools for mentally disabled children in western China and promote the Special Olympics.

"The money will be used in a transparent way and it will let all people know where the money goes," Yao said. "I can promise that all the money will be used for poor children to get better education."

"Yao is the hero of Chinese sports and he represents youthful spirit. The match will be a good combination of charity and sports, which give people new ideas of China's athletes - they are not only sportsmen."

26. How did Yao Ming get the idea of raising money for the poor children by playing a match?

A. He was asked by the Chinese government.

B. The idea came to his mind suddenly.

C. He was suggested by Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash.

D. The charities called on famous people to raise money.

27. According to the passage, which statement is Not true?

A. Steve nash and Leaondro Barbosa are from Phoenix Suns.

B. Bonzi Wells and Mikes James from Houston Rochets.

C. Carmelo Anthony and Baron Davis are from the same team.

D. Greg Oden was listed No.1 in 2007 draft selection.

28. The funds raised will be used for the following purposes except _______.

A. setting up Project Hope primary schools for poor children in western China.

B. enlarging the China Youth Development Foundation.

29. The underlined phrase in a transpatent way in Paragraph 8 probably means in a way _______.

A. that allows you to see through the truth easily

B. that is easy to undersatand

30. From the last paragraph we can infer that ________.

B. Yao Ming will inspire more athletes to help poor people.

C. the match will be a good combination of charity and sports

D. Sportsmen will pay as much attention to charity as to their professional skills.

【答案解析】

26．C。细节理解题。根据一、二段的内容可知，姚明想做些慈善活动帮助穷苦孩子的想法是Steve Nash建议的。

27．C。细节理解题。由第三段知Carmelo Anthony来自于Denver Nugget –丹佛掘金队，Baron Davis来自于Golden State Warrior—金州勇士队。因此，“他们来自同一个队”的说法错误。其余各项和原文内容一致。

28．B。细节理解题。第六段的内容告诉我们筹集来得基金将全部赠送给the China Youth Development Foundation，并不是用来扩大其规模，基金的用途在第七段有阐述。

29．A。通过下半句it will let all people know where the money goes推断，前面的方式应是“公开的，透明的”，transpatent正是此义。故A正确。

30．B。通过对姚明和即将比赛的评价，我们可以推断姚明的榜样作用将激励更多的运动员去做一些慈善活动来帮助穷人。

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we held on whether it is good to keep animals in zoos. Those who favor the idea think it provides chances for people to see wild animals. It might also develop people’s love for animals and nature. Besides, animals in zoos can be protected from dangers in the wild. However, those who are against the idea think that it’s a waste of money and labor to keep animals in zoos, which will also damage the balance of nature. Animals will lose their freedom if caged in zoos.
