The Canadians love the great outdoor-20% of the Canadians go camping each year-and consider the
natural phenomena of their country to be unequalled in the world. More than 90% of Canada remains
undeveloped, and the Canadians are quite content to keep it that way.
With no lack of land, their cities tend to grow horizontally (水平地) rather than vertically (垂直地).
Just about every house in town has a large grassy lawn that requires mowing in summer and at least four
trees: two at the front and two at the back.
In a country with that much natural space, it seems logical that one would want to look after it. Not all
the Canadians have seen the Rockies, but every single one of them wants them to be well cared for and not
buried by commercial development or tourist litter by the time they get there.
To solve trash problems, several cities are using technology to transform household waste into soil-
enriching compost (堆肥). Edmonton has constructed North America"s biggest composter. Citizens place
recyclable materials into blue bags which are picked up and taken to a sorting and treatment facility. The
$100-million plant, which covers an area the size of four football fields, processes over 1 000 tons of refuse
a day, enabling Edmonton to reuse 70% of its residential waste. Everything from glass and milk cartons (纸
盒) to metals, plastic, even concrete and asphalt (天然沥青) from sidewalk repairs are recycled.
Another leader in recycling is the coastal city of Halifax where the recycling program has made its way
into law, making it illegal to throw an apple core into a garbage can.
B. That there is little grassy land and few trees.
C. That they can go hiking every year.
D. That all of the rubbish can be dealt with.
composter a day?
B. over 1000 tons
C. over 1428 tons
D. over 428 tons
B. In Halifax, throwing an apple core into a garbage can"is against the law
C. Not all the Canadians have ever visited the-Rockies and want them to be well cared for
D. The $100 million plant can recycle most of the household waste in Edmonton

those things are important, I believe that everyone should start to 2 more on a growing problem-global
warming.
Global warming will not only 3 our country and our generation, but also-the entire 4 and future
generations. It is 5 because the weather has been a lot warmer over the past few years, which 6 the
melting (融化) of the ice in the Antarctic. This will soon cause water levels to 7 and flood parts of the
world.
Many people ignore this problem because they feel 8 they can"t do anything about it and have more
9 things to worry about. If we all 10 so, then our ozone layer (臭氧层) will be 11 and the planet will
no longer be able to make life continue to exist. We should do our best to limit the use of our planet"s 12
resources (资源) and keep our air clean 13 , future generations will suffer from our 14 .
Some might feel that they can"t stop global warming from 15 . But if every single person does his or her
part in keeping the air clean, then it will become a 16 effort. Sure, there are some things that cause pollution
and that we won"t be able to 17 change. This may include cars burning oil, but we can 18 adjust some of
these things. People can start carpooling, taking the bus, riding their bikes, or 19 just walking.
If everyone takes 20 now, I believe we can start seeing remarkable results within a few years.

| For the people living in the Nile Basin, the river is their life. This 6 825 km waterway, whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers, flows through mountains, woodlands, lakes and deserts. Its potential for fishing, tourism and shipping is great-but so are its challenges. Water shortage already serious in Egypt and Sudan, will soon influence several other countries in the watershed as well. Today, about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living. Within the next 25 years, the district"s population is expected to double, adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture. The frequent drought (干旱) adds to the urgency. Water quality is also a problem Precious soil is washed out to sea. Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution. Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils. Water-borne diseases continue unchecked. In areas where it"s hot and damp, water hyacinths choke off lakes, dams and other sections of the river, making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward. Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day. They"ve seen the river change course, and their only source (来源) of water thickened with mud. They"re very poor and have few choices. But a new program, the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), is offering very practical assistance. The program is more than just a water-management project. It"s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district: it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them. These are whole ecosystem problems, calling for united solutions (解决办法). Half the Nile Basin"s countries are among the world"s poorest nations; yet, somehow, they must find the resources, skills and political will to overcome these challenges. | |||
| 1. What are the great challenges the Nile Basin faces? | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. The development of shipping industry. B. Overfishing of native people. C. Water shortage and water quality. D. Increasing population and tourism. | |||
| 2. The underlined word "hyacinths" (in Paragraph 3) refers to "_____". | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. animals B. plants C. rocks D. salts | |||
| 3. The program NBI is mainly aimed at _____. | |||
| [ ] | |||
| A. preventing water pollution B. changing the river course C. improving living conditions of the poor D. preventing land from becoming desert | |||
| 4. What would be the best title of this passage? | |||

| The IEA"s World Energy Outlook report says increasing demand and use of energy has to be limited. The switch to more low-carbon energy will require an extra investment (投资) of￡2.7 trillion-about 0.2% of GDP-the IEA report said, with an average￡11 spent per head worldwide on more efficient cars, buildings and so on. The improved energy efficiency would deliver fuel-cost savings of almost￡4.5 trillion. The report says that the world energy demand will grow by l.6% per year on average between 2006 and 2030. This figure is lower than planned last year because the economic slowdown has reduced demand. Demand for oil will rise from the current 85 m barrels (桶) per day to 106 m barrels by 2030. Demand for coal will rise more than any other fuel-despite the environmental damage it causes-making up more than a third of the increase in energy use. The report claims oil will remain the world"s main source of energy for many years to come even with the rapid development of altemative renewable energy technology but the amount of oil remaining, production costs and consumer price will remain unpredictable. Mr. Tanaka, IEA executive director, said big international oil and gas companies would in the future have limited chances to increase production while in contrast national companies are planned to make up about 80% of the increase of both oil and gas production to 2030. The report says measures to control CO2 emissions (排放) will improve energy security by reducing global fossil-fuel energy use but this would not alarm the world"s major oil producers. "OPEC production will need to be 12 m barrels higher per day in 2030 than today. It is clear that the energy departments will have to play the leading role in handling climate change," said Mr. Tanaka. | |||
| 1. According to the report, the switch to more low-carbon energy will _____. | |||
[ ] | |||
| A. need an additional ＄2.7 trillion investment B. take two per cent of the UK"s GDP C. cost each person in the UK $ 11 on average D. save about ￡4.5 trillion in fuel costs | |||
| 2. Which of the following will be the major energy source in the next few years? | |||
[ ] | |||
| A. Oil. B. Coal. C. Gas. D. Bio-fuel. | |||
| 3. According to Mr. Tanaka, who will play the key role in dealing with climate change? | |||
[ ] | |||
| A. The oil producers. B. The energy departments. C. The oil consumers. D. The policy makers. | |||
| 4. What"s the passage mainly talking about? | |||
[ ] | |||
| A. National companies in the UK should produce more oil and gas. B. The increasing demand and use of energy should be controlled. C. New efficient energy methods should be tested and widely used. D. Measures should be taken to alarm the world"s major oil producers. | |||

 Live Earth Announces 2010 Global Event! This is the web version of the October 15, 2009 Live Earth email to members. Click here to join and receive bi-weekly updates from Live Earth. Live Earth is pleased to announce the largest worldwide water initiative (倡议) in history to help fight the global water crisis. The Dow Live Earth Run for Water-to take place on April 18, 2010-will consist of a series of 6 km run/walks (the average distance many women and children walk every day to get water) taking place over the course of 24 hours in countries around the world, featuring concerts and water education activities, raising awareness and funds to help solve the water crisis. Jessica Biel, Alexandra Cousteau, Pete Wentz, Angelique Kidjo and Jenny Fletcher will lend their names and their time in support of this global event. Water shortage is a major issue affecting countries, communities and families all over the world. One in eight people doesn"t have access to safe, clean drinking water. Communities in Africa, Latin America and Asia suffer l. 8 million deaths every year from diarrheal (腹泻) diseases and the death of 5000 children each day due to inadequate water infrastructure (基础设施). In these areas, women and children are forced to walk 6 km (3.7 miles) each day to get water that is likely unsuitable for drinking. However, the water crisis is not only limited to developing nations. Adding to these existing issues, the effects of climate change are increasingly impacting both supply and quality of available fresh water throughout the world. In 60% of European cities with populations greater than 100 000, groundwater is being used faster than it can be replenished (补充). By 2025, two-thirds of the world"s population could be living under water-stressed conditions. You can help solve the water crisis by participating in the April 18th event Run/walk registration is now officially open! Sign up now at http://liveearth.org/run.
