No living thing can exist by itself. It is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the nature order, this will almost certainly bring about changes in some other part. The cutting of forests reduced the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals led to the wide-spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean hurt life in the sea, while waste gases changed the chemical balance of the atmosphere and shut out some of the suns necessary life-giving rays. And so we could go on adding more examples until in despair(绝望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but he is not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be. Man may well destroy himself because of his silly action. 56. The first paragraph tells us that _. A. all living things in nature depend on each other B. everything in nature cant exist without the help of man C. man has known the importance of the balance of nature for a long time D. no living thing can live naturally 57. In the second paragraph the examples given are used to prove that _. A. all forms of life belong to a system in which all the parts can be changed for one another B. it is only during the last few years that man has generally known the balance of nature C. there are some living things which can exist by themselves without change D. we cant change one form of life without destroying the balance of nature 58. The last paragraph suggests that in order to get his immediate benefits(利益) _. A. man is always anxious to control his activities within limits B. man is always too eager in planning for distant future C. man often fails to think about their future results of his action D. man often feels that he will have to give up in despair 59. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Cutting down woods does little harm to human beings. B. Man has to pay much more attention to the future results of his present action. C. Oxygen comes from forests. D. The passage tells us to try our best to get as much as possible immediately. BAbout 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings. Instead, they receive their elementary and high school education by working at home on computers. The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools”, and that is about twice as many as two years ago.The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more popular. For example, a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary.Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time. They were guests of honor at their graduation.60. What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool?A. They have to take long bus rides to school. B. They study at home rather than in classrooms. C. They receive money from traditional public schools. D. They do well in traditional school programs.61. What is a problem with cyberschools? A. Their equipment costs a lot of money. B. They get little support from the state government. C. It is hard to know students' progress in learning. D. The students find it hard to make friends.62. Cyberschools are getting popular because_. A. they are less expensive for students B. their students can work at their own speed C. their graduates are more successful in society D. they serve students in a wider age range63. We can infer that the author of the text is_. A. unprejudiced(无偏见的) in his description of cyberschools B. excited about the future of cyberschools C. doubtful about the quality of cyberschools D. disappointed at the development of cyberschoolsCIts not the first movie to show the end of the world. But in the latest box office hit 2012 it is neither aliens nor a killer disease that threaten the human race, but climate change.Some say the film lacks good dialogue and its science is questionable, others believe German director Roland Emmerich makes up for these flaws in special effects. An earthquake destroys the White House and Yellow stone National Park ends up in flames. Emmerich borrows from the old Mayan(玛雅人的) story which says that the world will end in 2012. He is being criticized for fuelling Internet rumors（谣言）about doomsday(世界末日) “There is no factual basis for these claims,” NASA said on its website. “Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat connected with 2012,” it insisted. “After all, our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years,” they added.According to the UKs Daily Telegraph, it was first thought that the disaster would happen in May 2003. When the world continued, supporters picked the last day of the Mayan calendar.“Every culture has a myth of destruction(毁灭), just as they have a myth of creation. These myths of destruction tend to surface during times of crisis,” Michael A. Ryan, an assistant profess of history，speaking to Purdue University News. Ryan studies apocalyptic(像世界末日的) themes from the Middle Ages at the US university. “Todays current economic climate is a state of crisis for many people who are worried whether they can afford to feed themselves,”he added. 64. What led to the end of the world according to the film 2012?A. Aliens. B. The human race. C. Climate change. D. A killer disease.65. What does the underlined word “fuelling in the third paragraph refer to?A. Making sth. stronger. B. Putting gas into a car.C. Producing power or heat. D. Burning66. Which of the following statements about the film 2012 is TRUE according to the text?A. A big fire destroys Yellow-stone National Park.B
