There is a definite possibility that the climate of the world may be changing. Some scientists imagine that this could even mean the beginning of another ice age. The effects of such a change in climate on the human population of the world would be startling（驚人的）.

   Recent research suggests that the general warming trend of the past hundred years or so may be coming to an end. During the past ten years, meteorologists tell us the average temperature of the Earth has dropped about one degree Fahrenheit. This does not seem like much, but it could have effects on wind and rain patterns which influence the overall weather picture. If these patterns change a lot, it could mean that certain regions of the world may continue to have long droughts while others will possibly suffer from widespread flooding.

What regulates（調(diào)節(jié)）the climate is not exactly known. Meteorologists believe that clouds may be an important factor in regulating the amount of solar heat held by the Earth, which in turn determines the temperature of the planet. Another possibility is that man’s industrial and agricultural methods may be affecting the natural weather patterns. However, the weather is not understood well enough for scientists to say for certain what is happening to the climate and what side effects this will actually have on the world’s population.

According to the passage, the climate of the world seems to     .

  A. be getting colder                      B. be getting warmer           

C. remain the same in the past ten years        D. have good effects on the world’s population

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. Man’s activities have no effect on the climate.

  B. Another ice age will come soon.

  C. People don’t care about the changing climate.

  D. Scientists are not yet sure about the reason for the changing climate.

A meteorologist is a person who         .

reads weather forecasts on radio or television 

B. thinks there will be another ice age

C. studies and knows about the weather        

D. believes there will be widespread flooding

Which of the following may be the factor(s) that affect(s) the natural weather patterns?

  A. Clouds.                                B. The amount of heat the Earth receives.

  C. Man’s industrial and agricultural methods.    D. All of the above.

The best title for the passage would be          .

  A. Droughts and Floods.                   B. Meteorologists

  C. The Changing Climate                   D. Solar Heat

 If you are in charge of a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you. As a director, I point, I suggest. I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go. In the 1986 movie“Nothing in Common”, Jackie Gleason’s character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman. The scene, shot on a boat, shows Max’s despair about being out of work. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feelings.

Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened. What could I possibly tell “The Great One” about acting? Finally I decided to direct by suggestion, and sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene. “So Max is sad, right?” I said.Gleason nodded.“And he’s probably still carrying his pens with name on them—the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?”Gleason nodded.“So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?”He was silent for a moment. “Why don’t I throw them overboard?”I stood up and turned up and turned toward the crew. “Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea. Let’s shoot it.”

After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile. “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?”

You and your team can discover the answers to problems together. When there are no prizes or gold stars for who gets the solution first, you’ll all benefit when everything turns out right.

According to the writer, to succeed in a project you are in charge of , you     should______.

    A. make everyone work for you           B. get everyone willing to help 

   C. let people know you have the idea        D. keep talking to them

“The Great One” in Paragraph 2 refers to______.

   A. Gleason     B. the director himself    C. Max    D. Max’s boss

After filming the scene, Gleason called the director over and smiled at him. That’s  because Gleason________.

   A. thought the director gave him a good idea 

   B. formed the habit of thinking of ideas while talking

   C. was not confident about his acting

   D. appreciated the director’s directing skill

The most suitable title for the passage is “_______”.

   A. Directing a Film                  B. The Key to Success

   C. A Wonderful Experience            D. Working with Film

October 15th is Global Handwashing Day.  Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.

Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-private Partnership for handwashing with soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of handwashing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs （細(xì)菌）. They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, wash well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.

The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the chances that people will wash again.

It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea （痢疾）, which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half.

What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?

A. To keep healthy by washing hands.     B. To wash hands with soap.

    C. To take action to wash hands.         D. To wash hands often.

Which of the following is the right way to wash hands?

    a. Washing hands well.                 b. Covering hands with soap.

    c. Drying hands.                      d. Rubbing hands with soap.

    e. Wetting hands.

    A. a--c--b--e--d                       B. e--d--a--b--c

    C. a--c--b--d--e                       D. e--b--d--a--c

Which fact can’t explain why soap is important?

    A. It gives people a longer handwashing time.

    B. It helps to remove a lot of germs from hands.

    C. It attracts people to do more handwashing.

    D. It gets all people into the habit of washing hands.

According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that ________.

    A. kills half of the kids in the developing countries a year

    B. causes the greatest number of child deaths

    C. can be prevented to some degree by washing hands with soap

D. can’t be cured without washing hands
