Probably the most important is to share what you have learned with your family and friends. Use the family car less. Walk or cycle whenever possible. Take a bus. Try ride sharing. Use less energy in the house by turning down the heat when you are away or sleeping and turning off lights and electrical equipment you aren't using. If your family needs a car, make sure to buy a fuel-efficient one. An average car sends out nearly 60 tons of carbon dioxide during its lifetime, compared to between 22 and 30 tons from a fuel-efficient car. Encourage your family to use the car more efficiently: for example, check the air in the tires. Under inflated tires can increase fuel use by 8%. Turn the car off instead of letting it run when it is stopped. Idling uses more gas and sets free carbon dioxide into the air, Reuse, recycle and compost (把合成肥料 ) your waste. It takes much less energy to reuse or recycle a product than to make a new one.Correctly composting your food and yard waste removes the methane (沼气) that they would cause at the landfill site. Buying less is always the best. ks5u Plant trees. Trees take in carbon dioxide, reduce pollution, provide shade, and look great.36. Which of the following does the writer suggest that we should not do? A. Share cars with other people if possible. B. Make sure our car tires are well inflated. C. Compost our home waste at the landfill site.D. Buy less products even if we can afford.37.A fuel-efficient car gives off_ tons of carbon dioxide during its lifetime less than an average car.A 22-30 B. 30-38 C. 60 D. 8-3038. The purpose of this text is to call on people A. to control greenhouse gas B. to make full use of energy C. to plant more trees D. to buy fuel-efficient carsB A "blogger" is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a "blog". The word "blog" is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like. There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others. A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year. However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs. And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products. At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service, . He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing. One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca's Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called "The Weblog Handbook". It has been translated into four languages so far.Ms Blood says Rebecca's Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything - politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on-line bank accounts39. The text is mainly written to _ A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called "blog" B. introduce a short way of saying web log C. tell readers about blogs D. tell readers how to write blogs40. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything exceptA. different ideas B. medical advice C. advertisements D. account passwords41. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text? A. Politicians don't use blogs at all. B. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogs. C. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls. D. Dave Winer closed his "" because of money shortage.42. The reason why Rebecca's Pocket is still going strong is that A. it was created by a woman B. it is about the history of blogs C. it provides useful information and advice D. it has editions in at least four different languagesCAdvertising can be a service to the customer. This is true when advertisements give reliable information about the goods advertised. Such information is needed if the customer is to make a sensible choice when he buys. It is useful in that it lets him know of the kinds of goods in the shops. Printed advertisements do this job best. Customers can collect them and compare them.They can be taken along to shops and their claims can be checked against the actual goods in the shops.However, some advertisements are not very useful to the customer. Instead of helping him to satisfy his real needs, they set out to make him want things. They set out to create a need. These advertisements are cleverly done. The people who produce them understand our weaknesses. They set out to make us believe that what they advertise will make us cleverer, prettier, and more handsome, if we use it. Actually, it is our money that they are after and we should be on guard. ks5uSome advertisements mislead customers by using part of the truth to suggest something false, and it is skillfully made to give that idea to the careless reader, listener or viewer.At its best advertising can be useful to the customer. At its worst it can mislead him. Many newspapers check on the goods for which the advertisements made claims. Most newspapers are very careful about the small advertisements, which try to sell goods directly to the readers by post. Many newspapers print information about this on their small advertisement pages. Advertising has become a very big business, and good firms in it do all they can to make sure it is conducted with some attention to truth. This is a help to the customer. But the best way is for customers to be on the lookout.43. It can be inferred from the passage that advertisements can be useful if they _.A. show a long list of the goods advertisedks5uB. give true information about goodsC. tell customers what to buyD. appear on TV and in newspapers at the same time44. Advertisements that play on our weaknesses make us _.A. desire things we do not need B. purchase the goods we needC. attracted by them D. become loyal reader, listener or viewer45. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?A. All advertising firms do not care to tell the truth about the goods they advertise. B. All advertising firms only care to make money, as advertising is a big business. C. Most advertising firms make sure that advertisements do not purposely cheat. D. The advertised goods are often of poor quality.46. The underlined word "They" refers to _.A. Goods B. Customers C. Shops D. AdvertisementsDThe high noise of modem life may affect speech and language development in the very young, according to a study that found the auditory (听觉) parts of the brains of young mice are slower to organize properly in the presence of continuous sounds.Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, reared a group of rats in an environment of continuous background noise and found that their brain circuits that receive and interpret (解读) sound did not develop at the same rate as animals that were raised in a quieter environment.Edward F. Chang and Michael Merzenich, co-authors of the study appearing in the journal Science, said that the continuous noise delayed the organization of auditory neurons (神经细胞) during a critical two-to-three-week period after the rat pups were born.For rats not exposed to the noise, the auditory cortex (皮层) neurons during this period gathered into a smaller area and began developing a selective response to sounds.But for the noise-exposed rats, this organization was slowed, causing a delay in the development of the ability to discriminate (辨别) specific sound tones. The researchers said it took three or four times longer for the rats raised in a noisy environment to reach the basic benchmarks (基准) of auditory development seen in the rats pups not exposed to noises.Although the rat is not a perfect model for what happens in humans, the authors note, the study does suggest that high levels of noise might possibly affect some language learning in babies."These findings suggest that environmental noise, which is commonly present in contemporary child-rearing environments, can potentially contribute to auditory and language-related development delays," the authors write in Science.The authors noted that although the brain development was delayed in rats exposed to the noise, their brains did eventually mature normally.47. The scientists at California University studied rats_.A. of different age groups B. with different habitsC. in different environments D. from different areas48. The rats exposed to noise, compared to those not exposed, _.A. were more sensitive B. were dullerC. grew up more slowly D. gath
