6、.00)The National TrustThe National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside. Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government, it is not a rich Governmen
7、t department. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of h
8、istorical interest. The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the death of Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4,500-acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attrac
9、ted wide publicity and started the Trust“s “Country House Scheme“. Under this scheme, with the help of the Government and the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about one hundred and fifty of these old houses. Last year about one and three quarters of a
10、 million people paid to visit these historic houses, usually at a very small charge. In addition to country houses and open spaces the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, nature reserves, five hundred and forty farms and nearly two thousand five hundred cottages or small vi
11、llage houses, as well as some complete villages. In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original sixteenth-century style. Over four hundred thousand acres of coastline, woodland, and hill coun
12、try are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife. So it is that over the past eighty years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an es
13、sential and respected part of national life, preserving all that is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.（分数：7.00）(1).Th

New research from NASA scientists suggests emissions of black soot alter the way sunlight reflects off snow. Accordin
18、g to a computer simulation, black soot may be responsible for 25 percent of observed global warming over the past century. 2. Soot in the higher latitudes of the Earth, where ice is more common, absorbs more of the sun“s energy and warmth than an icy, white background. Dark-colored black carbon, or
19、soot, absorbs sunlight, while lighter colored ice reflects sunlight. 3. Soot in areas with snow and ice may play all important role in climate change. Also, if snow and ice covered areas begin melting, the warming effect increases, as the soot becomes more concentrated on the snow surface. “This pro
20、vides a positive feedback, as glaciers and ice sheets melt, they tend to get even dirtier,“ said Dr. James Hansen, a researcher at NASA“s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, New York. 4. Hansen found soot“s effect on snow albedo (solar energy reflected back to space), which may be contributing to t
21、rends toward early springs in the Northern Hemisphere, such as thinning Arctic sea ice, melting glaciers and permafrost. Soot also is believed to play a role in changes in the atmosphere above the oceans and land. 5. “Black carbon reduces the amount of energy reflected by snow back into space, thus
22、heating the snow surface more than if there were no black carbon,“ Hansen said. Soot“s increased absorption of solar energy is especially effective in warming the world“s climate. “This forcing is unusually effective, causing twine as much global warming as a carbon dioxide forcing of the same magni
23、tude,“ Hansen noted. 6. Hansen cautioned, although the role of soot in altering global climate is substantial, it does not alter the fact that greenhouse gases are the primary cause of climate warming during the past century. Such gases are expected to be the largest climate forcing rest of this cen
24、tury. 7. The researchers found that observed warming in the Northern Hemisphere was large in the winter and spring at middle and high latitudes. These observations were consistent with the researchers“ climate model simulations, which showed some of the largest warming effects occurred when there we

Maybe it got the name “common cold“ because it“s more c
29、ommon in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesn“t have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses, and, at least so far, medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one. Children are the most common way cold vir
30、uses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adultsan average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple. They haven“t had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses. There are more than 150 different cold viruses,
31、 and you never have the same one twice. Being infected by one makes you immune to itbut only it. Colds are usually spread by direct contact, not sneezing or coughing. From another person“s hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold vir
32、uses anywhere is found under the thumbnails of a boy, although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces. Hygiene is your best defense. Wash your hands frequently, preferably with a disinfectant soap, especially when children in your household have colds. But even careful hy
33、giene won“t ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes? The old prescription of two aspirins, lots of water, and bed rest is a good place to start. But you“ll also find some of the folk remedies worth trying. Hot mixtures of sugar (or honey), lemon, and water h
