17．A new study showed that one of the best ways to control greenhouse gas emissions（溫室氣體排放） is to eat less meat．In fact，the study showed that meat consumption（食用量） in developed countries should be cut by 50% per person before 2050．
Meat production and consumption are expected to rise very quickly to a high level by 2050．That's because the global population is expected to grow from the present 7billion to 9billion．But also，the diets of people in many developing countries are changing．Countries that are developing rapidly are seeing a fast rise in protein consumption，especially red meat．
Dr．Eric Davidson，the president and senior scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts，said changing the way people eat can have a great effect on greenhouse gas emissions．People in developed countries，he said，already eat much more protein than the daily requirement．
"In the developed world，there is large room for us to manage the frequency with which we eat meat．If there is a growing need for meat，that is going to end up requiring use of more nitrogen fertilizer（肥料） and production of more livestock manure（家畜糞肥），both of which end up resulting in release of various forms of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere，"he said．
Davidson said farmers should be encouraged to use fertilizers and manure in a more careful way．"If we want to meet the greatest goal of making harmful climate change under control，we need to improve the efficiency（效能） with which we use fertilizers in agriculture．We need to improve the efficiency of the management of manure．And we also need to consider changes in dietary patterns（飲食方式）．And that means hopefully better diets in the developing world and better balanced diets in the developed world，"he said．
Even if it were possible to turn off all harmful greenhouse gas emissions today，he said climate change would continue．"But that does not mean that we can do nothing for  it  now，because the sooner we start to take action，the more choices our children and grandchildren will have in terms of being able to feed themselves and have comfortable lifestyles without environmental degradation（退化），"he said．

28．According to the new study，eating less meat isD．
A．one of the best ways to keep healthy
B．a(chǎn)n effective way to develop the economy
C．the best way to control greenhouse gas emissions
D．a(chǎn) good way to protect the environment
29．In paragraph 4，what does Dr．Eric Davidson mainly talked about？C
A．The harms of releasing various greenhouse gases
B．The side effects of producing fertilizers and manure
C．The effects of growing need for meat on the environment
D．The ways of managing the frequency of eating meat
30．The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers toB．
A．the environment
B．climate change
C．greenhouse gases
D．the lifestyle
31．In Dr．Eric Davidson's opinion，C．
A．it's important to encourage farmers to use fertilizers
B．our future generations will live more comfortably
C．a(chǎn) balanced diet is helpful in controlling climate change
D．it's completely possible to control greenhouse gas emissions．

14．Homeownership has let us down．For generations，Americans believed that owning a home was undoubtedly good．Our political leaders hammered home the point．Franklin Roosevelt held that a country of homeowners was"unconquerable．"Homeownership could even save babies，save children，save families and save America．A house with a lawn and a fence wasn't just a nice place to live in or a risk-free investment； it was a way to transform a nation．No wonder leaders of all political types wanted to spend more than﹩100billion a year on subsidies and tax breaks to encourage people to buy．
But the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent：Indeed，easy lending stimulated by the cult of homeownership may have triggered the financial crisis．Housing remains a drag on the economy．Existing-home sales in April dropped 27% from the prior month，worsening fears of a double-dip．And all that is just the obvious tale of a housing bubble and what happened when it popped．The real story is deeper and darker still．
For the better part of a century，politics，industry and culture lined up to create a fetish of the idea of buying a house．Homeownership has done plenty of good over the decades； it has provided stability to tens of millions of families．Yet by idealizing the act of buying a home，we have ignored the downsides．In the bubble years，lending standards slipped dramatically，allowing many Americans to put far too much of their income into paying for their housing．And we ignored longer-term phenomena too．Homeownership contributed to the hollowing out of cities and kept renters out of the best neighborhoods．It fed America's overuse of energy and oil．It made it more difficult for those who had lost a job to find another．Perhaps worst of all，it helped us become casually self-deceiving：By telling ourselves that homeownership was a pathway to wealth and stable communities and better test scores，we avoided dealing with these frightening issues head-on．
Now，as the U．S．recovers from the biggest housing bust（破產(chǎn)）since the Great Depression，it is time to rethink how realistic our expectations of homeownership are-and how much money we want to spend chasing them．Many argue that homeownership should not be a goal pursued at all costs．

67．Political leaders wanted to spend money encouraging people to buy houses becauseD．
A．owning a home was undoubtedly good
B．homeownership was unconquerable
C．houses could save families and America
D．homeownership could shape a country

A．homeownership has quite a lot of bad effects
B．there might be another housing breakdown in the U．S．

A．it is hard for Americans to get a home loan
B．it is the way to wealth to have one's own house

A survey of young people's music ownership has found that teenagers and college students have an average of more than 800illegally copied songs each on their digital music players．Half of those surveyed share all the music on their hard drive （硬盤），enabling others to copy hundreds of songs at any one time．Some students were found to have randomly linked their personal blogs to music sites，so as to allow free trial listening of copyrighted songs for blog visitors，or adopted some of the songs as the background music for their blogs．Such practices may be easy and free，but there are consequences．

11．Xiangzi-Lucky，in English-is appropriately named．His owner Qiu Hong，a sports marketer，lets the dog enjoy two daily walks，a collection of imported American toys，$300 worth of monthly food and treats and his own sofa in her high-rise apartment．When Ms．Qiu feels bored，she takes Xiangzi out for a long run in her car．
In a sense，Xiangzi is not just a dog，but a social phenomenon-and，perhaps，a marker of how quickly the Chinese nation is booming through its transformation from poor farmer to first-world citizen．Twenty years ago，there were hardly any dogs in Beijing，but now there're 900，000 registered dogs with countless thousands of others unlicensed．How this came to be is，in some ways，the story of modern China as well．
"People used to be focused on improving their own lives，and they weren't really acquainted with raising dogs，"said Ms．Qiu．"But with the improvement in the economy，people's outlooks （觀念） have changed．"
Having a dog can be a way to relieve the stress in people's lives，but mostly Beijing dogs have，as in the West，become objects of affection-even devotion-by their owners．It's easy to find dog-treat stores，dog Web sites，dog social networks，dog swimming pools-even，for a time recently，a bring-your-dog cinema and a bring-your-dog bar on Beijing's downtown nightclub row．
The doglike devotion of pet owners here seems to have softened the city government heart．In 1994，Beijing officials relaxed their no-dog policy to"severely restrict"dogs．In 2003，it was changed again to allow anyone to own a dog，but to limit city dogs to no more than 35 centimeters  in height．And nowadays the restriction seems to be loosely carried out．
As for stir-fried Pekingese （京叭狗）-well，that dog，too，may have seen its day．A formal suggestion to ban the eating of dogs has been made by a law professor named Chang Jiwen，who considered himself"not so much a dog lover as a China lover"．"With China developing so quickly，more people should know how to treat animals properly，"he said in a telephone interview．
 
66．What's the main idea of the first paragraph？B
A．Xiang Zi is a clever dog
B．Xiangzi lives a happy life．
C．Qiu Hong has a lot of money
D．Qiu Hong is very busy．
67．Paragraph Four mainly shows that BeijingersB．
A．live under too much pressure                                
B．love dogs very much
C．a(chǎn)re good at making money                                     
D．have modernized their city
68．Judging from the article，we can know thatA．
A．pet owners can be as devoted as the dog
B．there were no dogs in Beijing before 2003
C．Beijing strictly bans dogs above 35cm high in practice
D．Chang Jiwen spoke for dog lovers only
69．Which is NOT mentioned in the article？D
A．China's economical development．
B．The psychological problems in modern society．
C．People's attitude towards animals．
D．The problems caused by dog keeping．
70．Which can be the best title of the article？C
A．Chinese Dogs Are Lucky                                          
B．Dogs Help Humans Live Better
C．Dogs Reflect China's Rise                                       
D．Dogs Enjoy More Freedom In Beijing．

18．Commencement （畢業(yè)典禮） is a time for idealism．
But economic reality is cruel everywhere； especially for new graduate．They have been told repeatedly that a college degree is an open sesame（芝麻） to the global economy．But that's not necessarily so，according to new research by two economists at he Massachusetts Institute of Technology，F(xiàn)rank Levy and Peter Temin．
It is true that people with college degrees make more money than people without degrees．The gap has narrowed somewhat in recent years，which is disturbing．But the earning power of college graduates still far outpaces that of less-educated workers．
The bad news，though，is that a college degree does not ensure a bigger share of the economics pie for many graduates．In recent decades Mr．Levy and Mr．Temin show，only college-educated women have seen their income grow in line with economy wide gains in productivity．The earnings of male college graduates have failed to keep pace with productivity gains．
Instead，a huge share of productivity growth，which expands the nation's income，is going to Americans on the top of the income scale．In 2005，the latest year with available data，the top of 1 percent of Americans---whose average annual income was $ 1.1 million---took in 21.8 percent of the nation's income，their largest share since 1929．
Administration officials，and other politicians and economists，often，believe that income inequality，reflects an education gap．But Mr．Levy and Mr．Temin show that in the case of men，the average bachelor's degree is not enough to catch the rising tide of the global economy．
They argue that the real reason that inequality is worsening is the lack of strong policies that broadly distribute economic gains．In the past，for example，a more progressive income tax and unions promote equality．Positive measures have been eroding and new ones have not yet emerged，making the income gap even greater．
Mr．Levy and Mr．Temin conclude that only a new government policy can restore general prosperity．That's a challenge to the nation's leader and today's graduates．America needs them to contribute to the development of the nation in global economy．
41．The passage is mainly about thatC．
A．there is a big income gap between female and male college graduates in America．
B．college graduates find it hard to find an ideal job after graduation in America．
C．research shows that American government should take measures to ensure income equality for college graduates
D．college degrees are losing value in America．
42．What is the main idea of paragraph 5？B
A．The whole nation has enjoyed a big income growth with the growth of productivity．
B．Much of the total income in America has been gained by a few very rich people．
C．A small part of people in America have income increase．
D．Upper class Americans contribute most to productivity growth．
43．The underlined word"eroding"in paragraph 7 probably meansB．
A．being gradually destroyed by wind or rain   
B．gradually reducing power
C．gradually disappearing                  
D．gradually not suitable
44．We can infer from the passage thatB．
A．female college graduates have higher income than male ones．
B．female college graduates have benefited from some governmental measures to ensure their income growth．
C．income tax can grantee income equality．
D．new measures and policies have been taken to promote income equality．
45．From the passage，some economists believe that the worsening income inequality is caused byB
A．lower college degree of college graduates  
B．lack of proper governmental policies
C．gender discrimination        
D．underdevelopment of economy and productivity．

15．Bekoji is a small town of farmers in the Ethiopian highlands．There，time almost stands still，and the number of horse drawn carts is much greater than that of motor vehicles．Yet，it has consistently produced many of the world's best distance runners．
It's appealing．When breathing the thin air of Bekoji，to focus on the special conditions of the place．The town sits on the side of a volcano nearly 10，000 feet above sea level，making daily life a kind of high altitude training．Children in this region often start running at an early age．Covering great distances to fetch water and firewood or to reach the nearest school．Their disproportionately （不成比例地） long legs is also advantageous for distance runners．
A strong desire burns inside Bekoji's young runners．Take Millionn Abate for example．Forced to quit school in fifth grade after his father died，Abate worked as a shoe-shine boy for years．He saw a hope in running and joined Santayehu Eshetu's training program．This 18-year-old ran very fast to the finish of a 12 mile run with his bare feet bleeding．The coach took off his own Nikes and handed them to him．To help Abate continue，the coach arranged a hotel job for him，which pays $ 9 a month．
Most families in Bekoji live from hand to mouth and distance running offers the younger generation a way out．Bekoji's famous person Derartu Tulu，who won the 10，000-meter Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 2000，is a national hero．As a reward，the government gave her a house．She also won millions of dollars in the races．
Encouraged by such signs of success，thousands of kids from the villages surrounding Bekoji have moved into town．They crowd the classrooms at Bekoji Elementary School，where Eshetu works as a physical education instructor．All these kids share the same dream．Some day they could become another Derartu Tulu．
59．Which is NOT mentioned as something contributing to the excellence of distance runners in Ethiopia？D
A．Long distance running in daily life．
B．Thin air in the highlands．
C．Extraordinarily long legs．
D．Well-known coaches．
60．What can we know about Bekoji from this passage？B
A．It's the capital of Ethiopia．
B．It's situated near a volcano．
C．It's has trouble handing car accidents．
D．It's home to several Derartu Tulus．
61．What is the goal of Bekoji's school kids？C
A．To become PE teachers．
B．To work as hotel managers．
C．To win in international competitions．
D．To perform well academically at school．
