We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development. We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.Removing the ThreatClearly，there is no way to stop an eruption. We can，however，attempt to reduce the eruptions effects by strengthening structures，for example，building protective works such as walls to make lava(熔岩) flow away from developed areas. Such efforts can be and have been successful，but are of limited use in a large-scale(大范围的) eruption.Planning for the FutureProtecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task. Before building houses，we should judge the risk. If the risk seems too great，a safer location should be found. This type of planning is very effective，but all too often，people are drawn to the lush(葱郁的)，rolling land of a quiet volcano.Disaster Preparedness(预案)When a volcano comes to life，a few weeks may not be enough time to avoid a tragedy. Planning is the key to saving lives. Well before the warning signs occur，people must be educated about volcanic dangers. Escape plans must be in place. Communication between scientists，officials，the media，and the general public should be practiced. Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.If you doubt the importance of these efforts，take another look at past volcanic tragedies，such as the eruption of Nevado del Ruiz. Communication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape. When a deadly mudflow came down the slope( 斜 坡 ) ， 21,000 people90 percent of the towns peopledied.21The passage is intended for .Athe general public Barchitects Cadventurers Dgeographers22When building houses，people tend to .Ajudge volcanic dangers carefully Btake volcanic dangers seriouslyClike to live near a quiet volcano Dfind a safer place far away from a volcano23The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove .Athe failure to keep volcanic dangers from happeningBthe importance of preparing for a volcanic eruptionCthe bravery of the people in Armero TownDthe uncertainty of volcanos damageBJohn D. Rockefeller once said: “The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity (商品) as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.”Wouldnt you suppose that every college in the land would run courses: to develop the highest-priced ability under the sun? But thats not the case.The University of Chicago and the United Y. M. C. A. Schools conducted a survey to determine what adults want to study.That survey cost $ 25, 000 and took two years. The last part of the survey was made in Meriden, Connecticut. It had been chosen as a typical American town. Every adult in Meriden was interviewed and requested to answer 156 questionsquestions such as “What is your business or profession? Your education? How do you spend your spare time? What is your income? Your hobbies? Your ambitions? Your problems? What subjects are you most interested in?” and so on. That survey revealed that health is the prime interest of adults and, that their second interest is peoplehow to understand, and get along with people; how to make people like you; and how to win others over to your way of thinking. So the committee conducting this survey decided to run such a course for adults in Meriden. They searched for a practical textbook on the subject but found nothing. Finally they approached one of the worlds outstanding authorities on adult education and asked him if he knew of any book that met the needs of this group. “No,” he replied, “I know what those adults want. But the book they need has never been written.”I knew from experience that this statement was true, for I myself had been searching for years to discover a practical, working handbook on human relations.Since no such book existed, I have tried to write one for use in my own courses. And here it is. I hope you like it.24. The University of Chicago and the United Y. M. C. A. Schools conducted the survey_.A. to find out what adults want to learnB. to find out what adults ambitions areC. to figure out what type of person is the most popularD. to figure out the number of people who want to learn25.

By collecting the adults opinions on college education.26. What problem did the committee meet with?A. They lacked financial support.B. They lacked experienced teachers.C. They couldnt attract enough students.D. They couldnt find a suitable textbook.27. Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To advertise a new course.B. To introduce a new survey.C.

To prove human relations are important.CHumans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core body temperatures(核心体温) in cold winters and warm summers. In addition，people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity(湿度)In very cold climates ， there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia(低体温)，which is a life threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0.However，differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6 higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4. Below 29.4，the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However，there have been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.915.6. This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious，not breathing，and her heart had stopped beating，yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7.In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections，core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia.Life threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.641.7. Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.28Why can humans keep stable body temperatures in different seasons?ABecause their bodies are unusually efficient.BBecause they experience different climates.CBecause they can adjust to cultural patterns and technologies.DBecause they have internal temperature regulating systems.29What does Paragraph 2 mainly discuss?AThe dangerous effects of hypothermia.BThe change of body temperature.CThe survival of the Swedish woman.DThe regulating systems of natural temperature.30People are more unlikely to survive when the body temperature is .Ahigher than 34.4 Blower than 29.4Cbetween 40.641.7 Dbetween 34.43731What is the best title for the passage?ASurviving in an Ice TrapBGetting to Know HypothermiaCAdapting to Climate ExtremesDChanging Core Body TemperatureDHow many girls in this world fall behind? The answer is hardtoo many to count. This is why the phrase “Go Get It Girl” popped up in my head one day. This would be my project. Thus begins the journey of my Cold Award project, the largest and most important step of Girl Scouts (女童子军).“Go Get It Girl” is a girls self-empowerment (自我授权) project centered on a website called gogetitgirl.org. It focuses on areas including education, health, and financial literacy. The education section includes information on applying to college and, maintaining good grades. The health section contains information on basic health and self-respect. Lastly, the financial literacy section has all the information a girl needs to manage her money properly.As part of my project, I was able to work one-on-one with girls in elementary, middle, and high school. I gave a speech at a local high schools College Night. I spoke to Hispanic girls and their parents about applying to college. In addition, I worked with an organization called Cool Girls, Inc. Cool Girls is an organization focused on the advancement of girls in all aspects of their development. I worked at the afterschool program, Cool Girls Club. The girls I worked with were primarily minorities, and Cool Girls truly helps them to rise above any current difficulties in their lives.To provide inspiration for the girls who visit gogetitgirl.org, I interviewed successful women in my community, including a doctor and business owner.The project has been a lot of work, and its not over yet. It will never be over, hopefully, because I will always look for ways to help girls.32. What does the underlined phrase “popped up” in paragraph one mean?A. Took root. B. Gained popularity.C.
