26、   An artist has carved a giant SOS message into an Indonesian palm oil plantation（棕榈油种植园）to draw attention to the damage done by forest destruction and stress the impact on people and wildlife.

Emest Zacharevic created the Save Our Souls（SOS）project as part of a campaign on the impact palm oil plantations have on local communities and endangered species such as the orangutan（褐猿）. The SOS carving，which he completed last month，runs for about half a kilometer inside a plantation in North Sumatra，and can be seen from the air.

Environmentalists say land-clearing for agricultural plantations in Indonesia，the world's biggest palm oil producer，is responsible for forest destruction-forest cover has dropped by nearly a quarter since 1990.

Zacharevic's SOS project comes during growing pressure on companies to adopt sustainable（可持续的）practices. PepsiCo and British firm Lush have committed to ending the use of palm oil，which is found in products from soap to cereal.

Indonesia has been a focus of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions（排放）caused by the forest destruction to make way for plantations.

These forests are often in remote areas long occupied by native peoples, who might not have documents proving ownership or be able to contest land acquisitions in the resource-rich Southeast Asia. The forests are home to about 14,600 orangutans remaining in the wild in Sumatra.

"We are all contributing to the destructive effect of unsustainable palm oil, whether it is by consuming products or supporting policies that affect the trade," Jacharevic said. "This project is an effort to appeal to the consciousness of a wider audience."

【1】What do you know about the orangutan according to the text?

A. They are well protected. B. They are becoming extinct.

C. They live in local communities. D. They are saved by the SOS project.

【2】The SOS carving in the plantation can be described as _______.

A. enormous B. classic

C. holy D. primitive

【3】The forests are cut down in Indonesia with the intention of _______.

A. selling trees B. building houses

C. hunting orangutans D. setting up plantations

【4】Why did Zacharevic start the SOS project?

A. To forbid the use of palm oil. B. To obtain support for plantations.

C. To arouse environmental awareness. D. To help native peoples acquire more land.

27、   Before I turned 10, I lost my parents. I lived alone in a room that a family member allowed me to use rent-free. To support myself, I began to deliver newspapers.

I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometers to the newspaper office. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies of Manzil. After distributing (分发) the copies, I would rush home—another 3 kilometers—quickly eat and be off to high school.

One winter morning in 1945, I got home after my deliveries to find a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me.

I was greeted at the door by Afzal’s mother, Naseem. She served tea and snacks as Afzal’s father, Mr. Kader, joined us. She gently asked me about my daily routine. I told her about my morning job.

Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr. Kader asked me to wait. Naseem asked me, “How many miles do you walk every day?”

“A little more than six,” I replied.

My reply shocked her. I saw Mr. Kader wheeling a new bicycle.

“This is for you!” he said.

It took a few seconds for the love to sink in. I didn’t realize tears were rolling down my face.

Mr. Kader said, “Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address, so I knew you lived close by. Then Afzal told us more about you.”

I bowed, gratefully, shook hands with Afzal and left. This time I did not have to walk—I had the bicycle.

The bicycle saved my life for many years thereafter and taught me a lifelong lesson: Help should always be need-based. Never try to feed a person who is dying of thirst.

28、   Scientists are working to stop a deadly virus that infects(感染)pigs. The virus is causing huge losses for farmers in China and other Asian countries. Many farmers have tried to contain African swine flu by quarantining(隔离)pigs and destroying infected animals. But the spread of the disease into East Asia has stepped up the search for other ways to deal with the problem.

The virus had not been considered a major concern for researchers until it appeared in China last year. Chinese farmers raise about half of the world's pigs. Some researchers think the virus might have come from infected animals in Eastern Europe or Russia. Since then, it has spread to China, Vietnam and other Asian countries. Millions of pigs have been destroyed.

Although swine flu does not sicken people, it is very infectious and deadly to pigs. "Today's situation, where you have this global danger, puts a lot more emphasis on this research,” said Doctor Luis Rodriguez. He spoke to The Associated Press. Rodriguez leads the United States government laboratory for foreign animal diseases at Plum Island , New York. As a deadly virus kills pigs across Asia, scientists are accelerating efforts to develop a vaccine (疫苗).

Vaccines often are developed by killing a virus before it is put into an animal. The disabled virus does not make the animal sick, but it activates the body's natural defenses against disease. The immune(免疫的)system is then able to identify the virus and produce antibodies against it.

However, this method is not effective with all viruses including the one that causes African swine flu. For swine flu, scientists have been working on a different kind of vaccine. It is made from a weakened virus, not a dead one. The problem for researchers has been how to change the virus so it can be safely used.

Vietnam's government reported a few weeks ago that it was testing vaccines, but provided few details of its programs. In China, the government said scientists are working on a vaccine that genetically changes the virus. That is similar to a method being used by scientists in the United States.

【1】Why did the virus cause the researchers' concern when appearing in China?

A.The virus may infect people.

B.The number of pigs raised in China is huge.

C.The virus may be completely out of control.

D.Chinese science and technology is not advanced.

【2】Where might the virus come from?

A.Eastern Europe or Russia. B.Vietnam.

C.African countries. D.America.

【3】What is the function of the disabled virus according to Rodriguez?

A.It makes people fall ill.

B.It destroys the immune system of animals.

C.It helps the body produce antibodies against disease.

D.It makes the body's natural defense against disease work.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.The Emphasis of the Virus Research

B.Swine Flu Leads to the Deaths of Lots of Pigs

C.Scientists Hurry to Develop Vaccine for Swine Flu

D.New Results About Government Laboratory for Animal Diseases

29、   You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella，a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.

The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“Once，I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.”he said.

The Latuphrella is a standard一looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built－in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.

In addition to the rain sensor，there’s also a 3600motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the Lamphrella. After three minutes of not being used，the canopy is closed.

According to the designer，the Larnpbrella would move at a relatively low speed，so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides，it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground，it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.

While there are no plans to take the L.amphrella into production，Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department，and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

【1】For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lamphrella?

A.To protect people from the rain. B.To check the weather forecast.

C.To predict a heavy rain. D.To remind people to take an umbrella.

【2】What do we know from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2?

A.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain. B.Street lamps are protected by canopies.

C.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg. D.His creation was inspired by an experience.

【3】What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?

A.Its moving speed. B.Its appearance.

C.Its safety. D.Its installation.

【4】What can he inferred from the last paragraph?

A.The designer will open a company to promote his product.

B.The designer is confident that his creation is practical.

C.The Lamphrella could be put into immediate production.

D.The Lampbrella would he put on show in Moscow.

35、Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the proper form of the words or expressions given in the frame. Each one can only be used once.

Why your Password May Not Be As Safe As It Seems?  Does “qaz2ws” strike you as a nice safe password? What about “adgjmptw”? An analysis has found them to be among the passwords that are most 【1】 used, which of course means they are not secure at all.

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet，they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.

While many of the passwords were still single words, such as “password”，there was also a clear attempt by many to make them harder to【3】. The problem was that people seemed to do so in the same way.

“Users are becoming slightly more 【4】what makes a password strong,” explained WP Engine, an internet company that performed the analysis. “For instance, adding a number or two at the end of a text phrase. That makes it better, right?”

But 【5】no. They found that almost half a million passwords did this and in 20 percent of those all people did was put the number “1” at the end.

Perhaps this is why some companies are now trying to move gradually beyond passwords. Yahoo! is giving users the option to 【6】 their mobile phone with an account, having a single use passwords texted to it each time they want to log on.

Although the serviced is voluntary, Dylan Casey an executive at Yahoo!，said that it was “the first step to【7】passwords”. He said it was a(n)【8】that it was increasingly hard for people to remember all the passwords they had. “I don’t think we, as an industry, have done a good enough job of putting ourselves in the shoes of the people using our products,” he said.

It would certainly be a more sensible strategy than same people’s improving upon “password” by using “password” or，“tran5p053d numb3r5 f0r 133tr3r5”.

“We are, for the most part，predictably【9】when it comes to choosing passwords, despite a decade of warnings from password strength checkers during sign-ups” said WP Engine. “We love taking a(n) 【10】, and so do password crackers.

36、I have a muscle disease but I don't look any different from other people. Sometimes, I was too weak【1】 go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an【2】(absent), I felt stupid because I was behind the others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because few fellow students make me【3】(annoy). My ambition is to work for a firm【4】develops computer software when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around【5】(feel) sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends. I spend a lot of time looking after my pets【6】(proper) but I find it worthwhile.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more【7】 (independence). I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If【8】(have) a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun【9】them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live【10】rich and full a life as you do.
