LONDON ( Reuters)-- Ecotourism ( 生态旅游) is causing a lot of damage to
wildlife and may be endangering the survival(生存) of the
very animals people are flocking to see, according to researchers.
Biologists and conservationists ( 自然环境保护论者) are worried because polar
bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing
weight and some are dying.
Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to
tourists in their backyard,” New Scientist magazine said.
The immediate effects researchers have noticed are changes in behavior,
heart rates, or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and
over the long term could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they
want to see.
Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at
about 10--30 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people
living in rural areas, the Swiss-based World Conservation Union and some governments
fear not all projects are audited (审计) and based on environmentally friendly
policies, according to the magazine,
The transmission(传播) of disease to wildlife, or small changes
to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress
levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower
survival and breeding ,said Philip Seddon, of the University of Otago in
Dunedin, New Zealand.
Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern
coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive.
Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed
penguins in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.
Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism
on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want
studies done before new ecotourism projects are started.
“The animals’ welfare should be very important because without them
there will be no ecotourism,”said Rochelle Constantine of the University of
Auckland in New Zealand.
56. Whats the text mainly about?
A. Many animals are dying because of lack of money.
B. There will be no ecotourism without animals.
C. Ecotourism could endanger the survival of the wildlife people want to
see.
D. More research should be done on ecotourism.
57. We may learn from the text that __
A. ecotourism must be developed properly
B. polar bears are losing weight without enough food
C. all the poor countries have stopped ecotourism
D. money produced through ecotourism should be spent on wildlife
58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Many animals do not react well in their backyard..
B. Polar bears in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller
babies.
C. Ecotourism has been growing at about 10--30 percent a year.
D. Studies should be done before new ecotourism projects are started.
59. What Rochelle Constantine said in the last paragraph
implies that __
A. if people want to get high income, they must develop ecotourism
B. animals have rights to live their own life
C. animals are people’s good friends
D. people should
take good care of wildlile

Bird flu(禽流感) has puzzled scientists by striking millions of chickens in several
Asian countries within a very short period of time, with the worst hit areas in
Thailand, China and Viet Nam and by February 10,2004 at least 13 people were
reported to have died.
The following is a chronology of the most recent bird flu
outbreak in Asia, which also suffered outbreaks in 1997 and 1998:

bird flu on a chicken farm near the capital, Seoul, and begins a mass killing
of poultry.(家禽) when the virus rapidly spreads across

Jan. 8, 2004 -- Viet Nam confirms that bird flu has been found on
many of its poultry farms.
Jan. 11, 2004 -- Japan says 6,000 chickens have died of bird flu

boy, its first human death from bird flu.
Jan. 27, 2004 -- The bird flu virus kills ducks in southern parts
of China, which begins a killing of 14,000 brids to stop the spread. The
agriculture ministry in Laos confirms bird flu in the area around Vientiane(万象).
Jan. 30, 2004 -- China says tests confirm the H5NI virus in Hubei
and Hunan provinces as well as the southern region of Guangxi.
Feb. 1, 2004-- Chinas state
television reports five more areas with suspected( 可疑的) cases of
bird flu in poultry. The WHO says two sisters have died in Viet Nam after
contracting bird flu and they may have caught the virus from their brother, who
had also died.
Feb. 2, 2004 -- An 18-year-ohl person dies of bird flu in Ho Chi
Minh City, bringing to nine fatalities( 死亡事件) in Viet Nam. A Thai woman dies of
bird flu, taking that countrys toll from the virus to three. The total number
of fatalities stands at 12.

Swedens pop phenomenon, which started with ABBA in the seventies, has
exploded into a large industry ranging from CD sales to concert tours. But
homegrown bands and CD makers are only a part of the success. World stars are beating
a path to Swedens music producers whose studios and songwriters lie behind
many an American and British success.
Denis Pop--- one of the greatest Swedish pop producers --- put Sweden on
the map, writing and producing hit after hit for stars as the Backstreet Boys,
Boll Jovi and Britney Spears. French-Canadian Celine Dion, American Boyband 98 Degrees
and American singer Jennifel Lopez turn to Sweden for songs composed by music
writer and producer Arnthor Birgison.
All this has made Sweden the worlds third biggest exporter of music But
how did Sweden manage to spread its sound all over the globe?
Birgison, 25, believes the traditional Swedish approach to hard work and
an unfriendly climate are key to the music sensation (轰动). Besides,
Swedes are also very good at speaking English, which is very. important,
because very little music sung in other languages succeeds anywhere outside its
home country. Another piece in the puzzle is that Swedish children at an early
stage get to try out musical instruments and learn music theory in school, at
little cost to
their parents.
64. We can learn from the above passage that ______ .
A. Sweden exports tile largest amount of music to the outside world
B. Swedish musical training theory is puzzling to kids of early ages
C. Swedish musicians have made great contribution to world music
D. most of the western singers success bases on the work of the Swedish
artists
65. What does
ABBA in the opening paragraph most probably refer to?
A. ,a
music group. B. A
successful industrialist.
C. A CD maker.
D. A music producer.
66. Which of the following
leads to the success of Swedish music and musicians?
A. The
artists hard work.
B. Poor weather
conditions.
C. The
musical training system.
D. All of the above.
67. If the Swedish musical artists couldnt speak good
English,____.
A. they
wouldnt be able to learn the up-to-date music theories
B. the Swedish
music wouldnt have been so internationally successful
C. they
would have difficulty in communicating with foreign singers
D. they
wouldnt have children start to learn music at an early age
D
Across the globe, single parent homes are on the rise. In the US, the
2000 census (人口普查) showed 24.8 million, or nearly 24 percent of the nations 105.5
million households, were traditional two-parent homes. By comparison, 9.8
million households, or 9 percent of all US households were headed by an adult
raising a child alone. The 1990 census showed 26 percent of homes were led by a
married mother and father, and 8 percent of homes were led by a single parent.
Similar increases occurred in other countries. In the UK, lone-parent
homes increased from 3.3 percent in 1990 to 5.5 percent in 1999. Single parent
households in Australia rose from 5.8 percent in 1990 to 7.6 percent in 1999.
Belgium saw the increase from 1.8 percent lo 2.7 percent during the same period
of time. These countries tend to have greater acceptance of the single parent
because there are fewer nearby family members to disapprove, Riche, a Census Bureau
director, said.
Just as in the US, those changes raised new questions about how involved
government should be. in helping single parent families. Some research suggests
children raised in two-parent families are better off than those who depend on
one. The position of one-parent families in any country is very much a
gender (性别 ) issue -- womens opportunities, especially working-class women on
low income, said Sue Cohen, coordinator ( 协调员) of
the Single Action Parents Network in England~
68.
Not considering the exact number of the single-parent families, which country
saw the fastest rise rate in 1999, compared with 19907
A. UK.
B. Australia
C. America.
D. Belgium.
69.
What is the cause of the rise of single parent families across the globe?
A. The nearby family members have a favourable opinion.
B. A lone parent is well off enough lo support his/her children
C. A lot of problems have arisen in
two-parent families.
D. We cannot get enough
proving information from the text.
70. Which of the following is TRUE about the increase of single
parent families according to the passage?
A. It will somewhat limit the growing population of younger generation.
B. Governments should take actions about the social problems brought
about by it.
C. Single parent families are not looked down upon in any country
mentioned here.
D. Generally speaking, the single parents neednt worry since they are.
highly paid.
71. Which of the following diagrams correctly shows the rise of
single parent families in the US from 1990 to 2000?
E
Michael, a normal American, stays home on workdays. He plugs
into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After
work he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder or
plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesnt talk to any other
human beings, and he doesnt see any people except the ones on television. Michael
is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern
technology seem to be cutting us off from communicating with our fellow human
beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us.
Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home.
With access (通路) to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks,
insurance agents, and accountants could do their job at display terminals in
their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people theyre
dealing with. Also, the way employees are paid will change. Workers salaries
will be automatically paid into their bank accounts ( 帐户 ), making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line
to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too.
Customers will deal with machines
to put in or take out money from their accounts.
Another area in which technology is changing is entertainment. Music,
for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert
halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an
individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living
rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie
entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer
people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film
to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead
of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.
72. The underlined sentence, in the first paragraph means
______.
A. Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams
come true
B. Michael is not a real person but the life style does exist
C. Michael has ambitions but he cant make his dreams come true
D. Michael is a person full of imagination and his life style is common
nowadays
73. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Clerks will be able to work at home.
B. One can play baseball on the computer.
C. One can listen to music without disturbing others.
D. One can borrow books from libraries at home.
74. What does the author discuss in the last paragraph ?
A. Technology is changing ways of entertainment.
B. How to see a movie at
home.
C. People will never go to the concert in the future.
D. How to borrow videotapes at home.
75. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We may no longer
need to communicate with other human beings.
B. Modern technology
seems to be separating human beings.
C. We may no longer
need to work in the office.
D. Modern technology
makes it possible for us to work at home.

Bicycle or car
Bicycles and cars are both
important vehicles. The car is fast and the bicycle can be easily parked.
Bicycle or car, which do you
prefer? The Americans and the Chinese usually have different choices. The
Americans prefer the car because they have been brought up together with the
car. They go everywhere by car. But we Chinese like bicycles better. First of
all, it is very cheap, which is very important to people in a developing
country. Secondly, it is much smaller than the car, therefore, it is easier to
find a place to park it . And thirdly, it doesn’t make any pollution, so it is
good to our environment.
