In order to solve the pollution problems that began from the mid-20th century, a number of environmental protection organizations have formed. However, the most important pollution fighter is perhaps each individual person. If everyone makes the effort, pollution can be greatly reduced,
In a way, some pollution can be controlled in daily life. For example, solid wastes are a major cause of land pollution, but many wastes, such as empty cans, glass bottles, old car tires and newspapers, can be recycled. Some places pay people to bring in used goods for recycling. Moreover, one major factor in air pollution is that many people use cars needlessly. So public transportation, bicycles, and walking are all good choices to prevent pollution.

At first there may be good feelings too — a new and better job is just around the corner— it's nice to be able to lie in bed in the morning or spend more time with the children; have more time to think. But, unless a better job does turn up, the chances are the days start getting longer and time becomes harder to fill. Many people pass through periods of difficulty in sleeping and eating. They feel irritable and depressed, often isolated and lonely.
Despite all these problems though, unemployment can be a chance for a fresh start. You can discover that it provides an opportunity to sort out or rethink what you want from life and how best you can get it. You can use the time to plan how to find a new job, learn a new skill, develop your hobbies or see if you can run your own business.
What is the writer's main message in the passage？
A．Unemployment brings downward changes in people's lives.
B．One should try to make the best of unemployment.
C．Unemployment results in negative psychological effects.
D．Many people have no problems with unemployment.

Some multimedia companies predict that, in a few years' time, production of newspapers and magazines will have been halved, for we will he turning to our computers to get the latest news. To publishers, this means the arrival of the e-book.
But is this the end of the book and the newspaper？ I doubt it. I do not think anything can replace the book. This is partly because, although some people believe that technology is capable of anything, it isn't yet! To begin with, the Internet is slow. Even though work is constantly being carried out to solve this problem, demand for the Internet is increasing too fast for scientists to keep up. What is more, it takes much longer for us to read on the computer. Research shows that we read 50% more quickly on paper than on a computer screen.
In addition, it seems that we like the feel of books and magazines-we like to put them in our bags or pockets and take them out on the bus or the train on the way to work. We like to sit and read in the park or on the beach. For many of us, the idea of Sunday morning without a cup of coffee and some newspapers is unimaginable.
We like to decorate our rooms with them, too .How many of us would exchange what we have now-a row of books in a bookcase, or a pile of magazines on the coffee table-for a row of little screens？
Nevertheless, by the time e-books have become as widely available as printed ones, it is likely that at least some of us will have changed our minds.
21 .According to some multimedia companies, production of newspapers and magazines .
A. will be reduced by half
B .has been reduced by half
C .will be increased by 50%
D .has been increased by 50%
22.According to the passage, people read .
A. as quickly on paper as on the computer
B .half as quickly on paper as on the computer
C .50% more quickly on the computer than on paper
D .50% more quickly on paper than on the computer
23 .The third paragraph is mainly related to .
A. technical problems
B.reading habits
C.functions of books
D.prices of books
24.How many reasons does the passage provide for books as against e-books？
A.2
B.3
C.4
D.5
25 .Judging by the passage, the author .
A.prefers books to e-books
B. likes e-books better than books
C. loves both books and e-books
D.welcomes the arrival of e-books

There was the widely publicized case of a family man who became so absorbed in his computer that he spent long hours with it. 【B2】Of course, if he was spending long hours with his computer, he was spending less time with his family. And if his wife needed to see him, he was unavailable. She became so upset by this state of affairs that she delivered an ultimatum (最后通牒), declaring that unless he spent fewer hours with the machine and more with her and the family, she was going to divorce him. This issue became so serious that the couple had to go to a doctor to resolve it. 【B3】The fortunate result was that the husband reduced the time he spent with the computer, and the marriage was saved.
【B4】Personal computers may cause people to become isolated from one another since work can be done at home alone. In this case, there may be no need for offices, or for that matter, for any other central gathering place. Universities, or even cities, could be abandoned. Moreover, if what is now recorded on paper is recorded in the computer instead, people will have no reason to use any paper whatsoever: no money, receipts, letters, newspapers, magazines, books, and so on. 【B5】If this happens, there will be no need to go to the bank, the bookstore, or the library. Will people then be isolated in their separate homes-alone with their computers and their families, apart from fellow workers, readers, or students？
This is so because the widespread use of the personal computer is a relatively new phenomenon.

第7题
To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing (舒适的) atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost(提升) sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.
But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts(收入) by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving-unless, of course, the resulting indigestion(消化不良) leads to complaints.
201.Background music was first used（）.
A.in the cinemas and theatres in the USA
B.in the offices and hospitals in the USA
C.in the schools and churches in the USA
D.in the factories, shops and restaurants in the USA
202.An American marketing expert has found background music can（）.
A.increase sales or factory production
B.create a soothing atmosphere
C.make people slow down
D.make people forget their worries
203.（） has no effect on sales.
A.light music
B.slow music
C.lively music
D.none of the above
204.Slow music is useless in（） in increasing sales.
A.shops
B.restaurants
C.factories
D.cinemas
205.Restaurant owners are advised to play（） to increase overall sales.
A.lively music
B.loud music
C.slower music
D.faster music

Currently there are some 20,000 chemicals in use, but the scientists only have detailed information around 1,000 of them.To see the advantages of GM food you have only to consider the recent press revelation that the average lettuce receives eleven pesticide applications before it reaches the supermarket shelf.I’m sure chemicals and their role in disease will become a big issue in the 21st century as the population of the developed world worries increasingly about its health.
The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep pace with the world’s predicted population growth to ten or eleven billion.It’s not just a question of more mouths to feed either.What is often forgotten is that all these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land available for agriculture.
The world has 800 million hungry people.Until now, food supplies have been increased by improved varieties, pesticides and artificial fertilizers: the green revolution.Now we’re on the edge of a new one: a genetic revolution.
It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world that benefits most from GM food.It is true that for the next years or so GM crops may be too expensive.

B.1,000
C.19,000

8.Why will people prefer GM food in the future？()
A.Because it uses less pesticides.
B.Because it is much cheaper.
