题目：A Caobi Desert
THE PROBLEMSse Study: Desertification around the G
The GOBI Desert, in the north of China, is now seven times bigger than Britain. China has large desert areas and much of its agricultural land is being threatened by desertification, which is getting worse. In addition, soil erosion has led to a huge loss of farmland and the drying up of rivers. Consequently, the livelihoods of 35 million people are being threatened. Furthermore it is even affecting cities. The nearest sand dune is less than 100 miles from Beijing, where unpleasant sandstorms are becoming more frequent. The worse the situation, the more pressure there is on the government to take action.
The Causes
The reasons for the changes are complex. It is clear that pollution of the air and water by factories is affecting the environment. Trees and other vegetation die, and so soil is eroded. The more trees that die, the less water is held in the earth. The need for wood for fuel and buildings leads to further deforestation, which causes further soil erosion. Local farmers find it more and more difficult to make a living. They end up using inefficient farming methods, which again leads to soil erosion.
The Solutions
The Government is carrying out anti-desertification projects, including the creation of a forest belt around deserts. The tree-planting campaign, known as the Great Green Wall, is meant to protect Beijing from sandstorms. China hopes to control the expansion of desert land by the year 2010 and plans to establish a protected eco-system in desert areas by 2050.

题目：GLOBAL FOOD
“Mum, can we go to McDonald’s, please?”
Some people might ask, “Where would we be today if we did not have fast food?” and “Where would parents take their children out to eat?’
It has been reported that approximately 30% of meals consumed by families in the USA are eaten at one of the big chains like Burger King and Taco Bell, though probably none is more famous than McDonald’s. The distinctive “golden arch” can now be seen in most major cities in the world. In 2002, McDonalds had approximately 25,000 restaurants in over 120 countries and served 29 million people a day.
Apparently, the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of “think global, act local”. McDonald’s learnt that if they adapted their “Mac” meals to different cultures, it was more successful than having a standardized set of products that taste the same everywhere. So now, around 80% of McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a “local” flavor. For example, in Hong Kong, food called “Shake Shake Fries” and “Red Bean Sunday” can be found on the menu, while in Switzerland, “Vegi Macs” are served.
However, fast food is not popular with everyone. It is often called “junk” food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fat. Furthermore, many people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of waste, while millions of people in developing countries go hungry. At the same time, more and more people no longer cook fresh food at home. “Convenience” food is just too convenient! It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spencer, or some other supermarket chain, to buy ready-made meals on their way home from work. It is even easier to buy a “take-away” from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home.

题目：WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, HORNS REV, Denmark: In the lead up to the Earth Summit in Johannesburg in August, the Greenpeace ship, the Rainbow Warrior, today began the first part of a global journey to support the development of renewable energy around the world.
Offshore wind in the North Sea alone can produce nearly twice the electricity needs of the North Sea countries. Using only 20% of that would supply one-third of these countries’ electricity. Greenpeace are going to challenge governments and industry to make this happen.
The Rainbow Warrior sailed today to Horns Rev, the world’s largest offshore wind park, which is being built off the coast of Denmark. Another Greenpeace ship, the Arctic Sunrise, will begin the second part of the global tour in Southeast Asia next month.
“During these weeks, Greenpeace will be conducting this global tour with two ships to show that renewable energy is ready and able to replace dirty coal, oil, gas and nuclear power – not only in the future, but today”, said a Greenpeace spokesperson.
Wind energy is reported to be competitive with coal and gas power generation and clearly beats costly nuclear power. The UK government’s energy review claimed that wind energy will be the cheapest energy source by 2020.
Next month, the Arctic Sunrise will be visiting the Philippines and Thailand, where communities are rejecting dirty, old-fashioned energy technology like coal-fired power stations and demanding clean, renewable energy.
1.The purpose of the global tour was{A; B; C; D}.
A.to produce electricity needs of the North Sea countries
B.to support the development of renewable energy around the world
C.to visit the Philippines and Thailand
D.to produce clear and fashioned energy
2.The destination of the ship, the Rainbow Warrior was {A; B; C; D}.
A.Denmark
B.the Philippines
C.Thailand
D.Horns Rev
3.According to the passage,{A; B; C; D}will be the cheapest form of energy by 2020.
A.wind energy
B.nuclear power
C.coal-fired power
D.solar energy
4.The power produced by the offshore wind in the North Sea can be {A; B; C; D}.
A.one-third of the electricity needs of the North Sea countries
B.20% of the electricity needs of the North Sea countries
C.nearly twice the electricity needs of the North Sea countries
D.exactly the same amount of the electricity needs of the North Sea countries
5.We can infer from this passage that {A; B; C; D}.
A.offshore wind in the North Sea has already produced enough electricity for the North Sea countries
B.the purpose of the Greenpeace ship is to transport renewable energy
C.nuclear power is the cheapest power at present
D.Greenpeace have more than one ship

题目：WILL ENGLISH ALWAYS BE THE MAIN INTERNET LANGUAGE?
The Internet’s ability to connect a wide range of cultures encourages variety. However, for the time being, English dominates online because from the start it was the lingua franca of cyberspace. Will this always be the case?
Currently about 70% of Internet is in English, but only about 44% of Internet users are native English speakers. Worldwide, native Spanish speakers outnumber native speakers of English online, and the number of native Chinese speakers is greater than both those groups put together.
Statistics show that the situation is changing. For instance, three years ago 75% of web pages were in English, but that number has dropped to 50% today.
Furthermore, Internet use among non-native speakers of English is growing at a faster rate than that of native English speakers. By 2003, the number of native English-speaking web users will have dropped to 29%, according to one estimate.
As a result, some researchers say that the early predominance of English is going to decline. They say that English will keep a special role in connecting communities whose native languages are different, but in about 20 years’ time, Spanish, French, Arabic and Chinese will also have taken on this connecting role.
If this is true, then monolingual native English speakers may be more likely to learn another language and also become bilingual, or even multilingual.
1. English became the dominant Internet language because {A; B; C; D}.
A. it is spoken in cyberspace
B. from the start it was the lingua franca of cyberspace
C. all the Internet content is in English
D. it’s most convenient for people to use English online
2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?{A; B; C; D}
A. Over half of Internet content is in English.
B. Less than half of Internet users have English as their first language.
C. More than half of Internet users are native English speakers.
D. There are more native Spanish speakers than native English speakers online.
3.The number of English web pages has{A; B; C; D}in the recent 3 years.
A. risen
B. dropped
C. not changed
D. changed only a little
4.{A; B; C; D}is NOT mentioned in the passage to have the possibility to take on the connecting role of English.
A. Spanish
B. French
C. hinese
D. Japanese
5.According to this passage, which of the following statements is true about the future of English?{A; B; C; D}
A. The number of native English-speaking web users will rise in the near future.
B. The early predominance of English is not going to decline in the near future.
C. English will keep a special role in connecting communities whose native languages are different.
D. English is going to dominate the world forever, although there are many big languages.
