The annual wildebeest migration to Maasai Mara is the worlds greatest wildlife spectacle, something not to be missed especially if youre visiting Kenya between August and October. Millions of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles from the Serengeti plains migrate across the

10、Tanzania border and the Mara River to reach Maasai Mara grazing fields from late June. The game reserve abounds with bird life since close to about 452-odd species have been recorded. Maasai Mara has a good range of accommodation from five-star lodges to luxury-tended camps. To keep the tempo of you

That might sound like good news, but experts say that as the cover diminishes in coming decades, we are facing a drama

19、tic increase of warming that could be two or even three times as great as official best guesses. 2 This was the dramatic conclusion reached last week at a workshop in Dahlem, Berlin, where top atmospheric scientists got together, including Nobel prize winner Paul Crutzen and Swedish scientist Bert B

20、olin, former chairman of the UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). 3 IPCC scientists have suspected for a decade that aerosols (浮质 ) of smoke and other particles from burning rainforest, crop waste and fossil fuels are blocking sunlight and counteracting the warming effect of carbon

21、dioxide (二氧化物 ) emissions. Until now, they reckoned that aerosols reduced greenhouse warming by perhaps a quarter, cutting increases by 0.2C.So the 0.6C of warming over the past century would have been 0.8C without aerosols. 4 But the Berlin workshop concluded that the real figure is even higher-aer

22、osols may have reduced global warming by as much as three-quarters, cutting increases by 1.8C.If so, the good news is that aerosols have prevented the world getting almost two degrees warmer than it is now. But the bad news is that the climate system is much more sensitive to greenhouse gases than p

23、reviously guessed. 5 As those gases are expected to continue accumulating in the atmosphere while aerosols stabilize or fall, that means “dramatic consequences for estimates of future climate change“, the scientists agreed in a draft report from the workshop. 23 A Atmospheric Scientists B The Calcul

The original chocolate drink was made from the

27、seeds of the cocoa tree (可可树 ) by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist toda

28、y. The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine (饥荒 )“ of 1845 - 1846, and thousands more were fo

29、rced to leave their homeland and move to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American

30、 countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s. According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experien

31、ced the “wide-awake“ feeling that one-third of the worlds population now starts the day with. 31 According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years? （ A） Food. （ B） Clothing. （ C） Ideology. （ D） Language. 32 “Some“ in the last sentence of the first paragraph

32、refers to （ A） some cocoa trees. （ B） some chocolate drinks. （ C） some shops. （ D） some South American Indians. 33 Thousands of Irish people starved during the “Potato Famine“ because （ A） they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat anything else. （ B） they were forced to leave their

33、 homeland and move to America. （ C） the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing potatoes. （ D） the potato harvest was bad. 34 Which country is the largest coffee producer? （ A） Brazil. （ B） Colombia. （ C） Ethiopia. （ D） Egypt. 35 Which of the following statements is NOT true, acc

34、ording to the passage? （ A） One third of the worlds population drinks coffee. （ B） Coffee is native to Colombia. （ C） Coffee can keep one awake. （ D） Coffee drinks were first made by Arabs. 36 Teaching Poetry No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed“, until it has been read aloud by someone, te

35、acher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it. All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading It aloud, and the reading of the poe

36、m Is, finally, the most telling “interpretation“ of It, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, Is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cen not replace the student and teacher reading it or,

37、 best of all, reciting (背诵 ) it. I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud Is much more Important than “analyzing“ it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life“, and “a heigh

38、tening (提升 ) of life“. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling“, and It “can save your life“. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies. I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like It should no

39、t be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it. 36 To have a better understanding o

40、f a poem, one should （ A） discuss It with others. （ B） analyze it by oneself. （ C） copy It down in a notebook. （ D） practise reading it aloud. 37 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry? （ A） Extending your life. （ B） Saving your life. （ C） Criticizing life. （ D） Heightening

41、life. 38 According to the writer, One of the purposes of teaching English is to get students （ A） to understand life. （ B） to enjoy poetry. （ C） to become teachers. （ D） to become poets. 39 What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply? （ A） More stress should be laid on the teaching of p

42、oetry. （ B） The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject. （ C） One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry. （ D） Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses. 40 The phrase “make room“ in the last paragraph could be best replaced by （ A） build

43、 a booth. （ B） provide equipment. （ C） leave a certain amount of time. （ D） set aside enough space. 41 “Salty“ Rice Plant Boosts Harvests British scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to

44、become productive once more. Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex Universitys School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty. The pair have recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotech

45、nology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice. It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares (公顷 ) of agricultural land are lost because salt gets in

46、to the soil and stunts (妨碍生长 ) plants. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves (红树林 ) that create swamps (沼泽 ) and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea w

47、ater to seep (渗透 ) in. In Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated (蒸发 ) by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind. Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally. Heavy concentrations of minerals in the plants stop them drawing up the water

48、 they need to survive. To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little salt and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plants growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eig

49、ht harvests before the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use. Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manners of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world. 41 Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is true? （ A） They are students at Sussex University. （ B） They are ric
