There are already 122 free parks for citizens to enjoy. But visitors are often hassled by beggars and fortune-tellers, and put off
27、by the smell of urine left behind by someone using the grass as a toilet.Law and order in free parks are also worrying the citys park operators. They couldnt take any mandatory measures on those who do indecent things in parks except to try to persuade them to stop according to local regulations on
28、park operations, which were laid out many years ago and many parts are not in line with the need for maintenance of the increasing number of free parks. Patrols could be introduced to help park managers.On April 1,2005, Shanghai opened 23 new free parks, bringing the total number of such parks to 12
29、2.A lack of cash has also hindered park operations. The local government has allowed for subsidies to cover the cost of not charging for tickets, but attendance is often more than expected, adding to maintenance and security costs.Many parks manage to be self-supporting by running businesses such as
30、 convenient stores and cafeterias. Some also rent out areas to companies who want to do outdoor promotions. But the bottom line is that parks should be comfortable places for visitors and should not be turned into outdoor markets.As well as not charging for tickets, parks are cutting back on staff,
31、having a few staff members for daily operations. Most construction and maintenance jobs are commissioned to enterprises through public bidding so as to evaluate costs in a transparent and economical way.So far, more than 12,000 citizens are working as volunteers to help with park operations in Shang
32、hai.Shanghai has spent more than 3 per cent of its GDP on environmental protection in recent years. Its heavy expenditure in landscaping also paid off as it won the “National Garden City“ award last year.Shanghais goal is to increase its green area to 12 square metres per capita. It now has more tha

On
38、e adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the suns rays. Desert animals also depart from other animals normal practice of maintaining a constant body temperature. Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the loss of w
39、ater and energy, large desert animals allow their temperatures to rise to what would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in grants gazelles. The over-heated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the temperature may fall
40、unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day.Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate
41、 the loss of body water to a point that would be fatal for non-adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30% of its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12%-13% of their body weight. An equally important adaptation is the ability to recover this wat
42、er loss at one drink. Desert animals can drink massive volumes of water in a short time, and camels have been known to drink over 100 liters in a few minutes. A person who severely loses water, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water for recovery at one session, because the human stomach is not
43、 sufficiently big and because a too rapid mixing of the body liquid with water causes death from water intoxication. The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but can obtain food by searching quite a few distant places. Dese
44、rt-adapted animals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely thirsty: it is a common experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the passage mainly discuss?（分数：2.00）A.How large desert animals adapt to the environment.B.We
45、ather conditions in the desert.C.Human use of large desert animals.D.Health problems of large desert animals.(2).Light coloring is one of the advantages of large desert animals because _.（分数：2.00）A.it helps their body temperature to rise at nightB.it contributes to a buildup of heat during the first
46、 few hours of daylightC.it doesnt absorb sunlight as much as dark colorsD.it helps them to keep cool at night(3).The word “maintaining“ in line 3 of the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _.（分数：2.00）A.reducingB.preservingC.avoidingD.measuring(4).What does the author imply regarding large deser
47、t-adapted animals?（分数：2.00）A.They have good appetite at night.B.They never lose body water.C.They seldom feel thirsty.D.They travel long distances looking for food.(5).The author lists the following as adaptation of large desert animals except _.（分数：2.00）A.changing body temperatureB.drinking water q
48、uicklyC.not losing appetite even when very thirstyD.being active at nightBText 3/BSome surveys show that a lot of people believe that the glare from snow causes snow-blindness. Yet, wearing dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness,
49、 when exposed to several hours of “snow light“.The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow actually does not cause snow-blindness in troops in snow-covered country. Rather, a mans eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of a wide snow-covered territory. His gaz
