9、 and Qianlong. From 1929 until early 2000, it was part of Beijing No. 159 Middle School. The temple“s Jingdechongsheng Hall contains stone tablets memorializing 188 Chinese emperors. The jinzhuan bricks used to pave the floor, the same as those used in the Forbidden City, are finely textured and gol

10、den-yellow in color. According to Xi Wei, an official from the Xicheng District government present at the reopening of the temple, jinzhuan bricks were made in Yuyao, Suzhou, specially for imperial use.

15、ears ago.The climate of Earth is changing. Climatologists are confident that over the past century, the global average surface temperature has increased by about half a degree Celsius. This warming is thought to be at least partly the result of human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels a

16、nd the clearing of forests for agriculture. As the global population grows and national economies expand, the global average temperature is expected to continue increasing by an additional 1.0 to 3.5 by the year 2100. Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues facing humankind.

17、 Understanding the potential impacts of climate change for natural ecosystems is essential if we are going to manage our environment to minimize the negative consequences of climate change and maximize the opportunities that it may offer. Because natural ecosystems are complex, nonlinear systems, it

18、 follows that their responses to climate change are likely to be complex. Climate change may affect natural ecosystems in a variety of ways. In the short term, climate change can alter the mix of plant species in land ecosystems such as grasslands. In the long term, climate change has the potential

19、to dramatically alter the geographic distribution of major vegetation typessavannas, forests, and climate change can also potentially alter global ecosystem processes, including the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Moreover, changes in these ecosystem processes can affect and be

20、affected by changes in the plant species of the ecosystem and vegetation type. All of the climate changeinduced alterations of natural ecosystems affect the services that these ecosystems provide to humans. The global average surface temperature increase of half a degree. Celsius observed over the p

21、ast century has been in part due to differential changes in daily maximum and minimum temperatures, resulting in a narrowing of the diurnal temperature range. Decreases in the diurnal temperature range were first identified in the United States, where large-area trends showed that maximum temperatur

22、es have remained constant or increased only slightly, whereas minimum temperatures have increased at a faster rate. In this issue, Alward et al report on the different sensitivities of rangeland plants to minimum temperatures increases.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reaso

23、n for the global warming?（分数：2.00）A.The burning of fuels such as coal or oil.B.The clearing of forests.C.The cultivation of farmland.D.The negative consequences of human activities.(2).The second paragraph is primarily concerned with_.（分数：2.00）A.the potential impacts of climate change for natural ec

24、osystemsB.how to minimize the negative consequences of climate changeC.how to maximize the opportunities that climate change may offerD.the complex, nonlinear nature of natural ecosystems(3).According to the author, what may chiefly be responsible for the temperature increases observed over the past

25、 century?（分数：2.00）A.Increases of daily maximum temperatures.B.Decreases of daily minimum temperatures.C.Increases of diurnal temperature range.D.Decreases in the diurnal temperature range.(4).In subsequent paragraphs, we may expect the writer of this passage to_.（分数：2.00）A.discuss the global impacts

26、 of temperatures increasesB.present a point of view which supports the idea of the second paragraphC.introduce Alward“s report on the different sensitivities of rangeland plants to minimum temperatures increasesD.further illustrate the causes of the global average surface temperature increases(5).Th

27、e word “diurnal“(Line 3, Para 3) is closest in meaning to_.（分数：2.00）A.day-and-night“sB.everydayC.two daysD.yearlySo long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children

28、 to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible. “ Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in k

29、ind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost

30、 all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for al

31、l teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. “ When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure a

32、nd feeling of failure for both is eliminate& Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.（分数：10.00）(1).The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that

33、_.（分数：2.00）A.it is one of the most difficult school coursesB.students spend endless hours in readingC.reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD.too much time is spent in teaching about reading(2).The teaching of reading will be successful if _.（分数：2.00）A.teachers can improve conditions at sch

34、ool for the studentsB.teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC.teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD.teachers can make their teaching activities observable(3).The word “scrutiny“ (Line 3, Para. 3) most probably means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.inquiryB.observationC.

35、controlD.suspicion(4).According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when _（分数：2.00）A.children become highly motivatedB.teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC.teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD.reading enriches children“s experience(5).The mai

36、n idea of the passage is that _.（分数：2.00）A.teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB.teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC.reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD.reading is more complicated than generally believedBecaus

37、e of its potential for cutting costs, the distribution step in the marketing process is receiving more attention. Distribution involves warehousing, transporting and keeping inventory of manufactured products. Take an everyday product like fabric softener. After it comes off the assembly line, it“s

38、packed in cartons and trucked to warehouses around the country. When orders come in from retailers, the fabric softener is delivered to supermarket shelves. This is distribution. Probably the most crucial area for controlling costs is inventory. Companies don“t want to overproduce and have unsold st

39、ock of their product piled up in warehouses. Wholesale companies and large retail chains employ several techniques for inventory control. This is where the computer revolution really had an impact. Computerized information systems give precise and up-to-date accounts of inventory on hand. And the fi

40、eld of distribution offers good entry-level jobs for persons with training in computer programming or data processing. Overseeing the whole area of distribution is the distribution manager. This job is becoming increasingly important and can lead to an executive position.（分数：10.00）(1).According to t

46、iopia,I had a dream. In my dream, I saw two men, one older and one younger, facing one another against a background of temples and pyramids.
