It just shows how badly she wanted off the swimming team.””Wanted off the swimming team?” said Papa. “She never said anything about that to me.””Of course she didn’t,” said Mama. “She was afraid you’d blow your top. You already had her getting a swimming scholarship to college and winning gold medals at the Olympics. Can you imagine how much pressure she must have felt? For her, being on the team couldn’t have been much fun.””Oh, my gosh!” Papa said, clapping a hand to his forehead. “I’ve been so stupid! I just thought she’d want to be a champion swimmer because she’s so good at it.””It’s like anything else, dear,” said Mama. “No matter how good at it you are, if it stops being fun, you won’t want to do it anymore.”Papa put his head in his hands.”She must be really mad at me,” he mumbled. “Maybe I should say sorry to her.”Sister’s footsteps could be heard on the stairs. She came into the kitchen and looked hopefully up at her parents.”Honey,” said Mama with a smile, “your papa and I have decided that there’s no reason for you to be on the swimming team if you don’t want to.”Sister’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. “Yippee!” she cried.”And,” added Papa, “there’s no need for any more drills. I’m sure you’ll bring your grades back up all by yourself.”Sister ran to Papa and jumped into his arms. She gave him a big hug. “I’m going to go play cards with Lizzy!” she said. “See you later!”From the kitchen window, Mama and Papa watched their daughter run down the sunny roadtoward Lizzy’s house.”It’s good to see her happy again,” said Mama.”It sure is,” Papa agreed. “As for the swimming team, there’s always next year.””If?” Mama prompted him.”Oh, right,” said Papa. “If she wants to.”Mama smiled. “At least you’re learning, dear,” she said. She kissed him.”Well, you know what they say,” Papa said. “Better late than never.”36.

Oceans cover 70 percent of the globe and store a thousand times more heat than the atmosphere does. What’s newer is the understanding of how this key component of our climate system responds to global warming.A brake on global warming—for nowOne of the ocean’s most important climate functions is absorbing heat and carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the gases that cause global warming. Acting as a heat sponge (海绵), the oceans have absorbed huge amounts of heat and CO2 in the last forty years.Fujita explains that “the oceans are saving us from faster climate change—they are a big flywheel that delays rapid overheating of the earth, putting a brake on the climate system.”“That’s the good news,” he adds. “The bad news is that the oceans only slow the atmospheric warming. Once the oceans come to balance with a greenhouse-gas warmed earth, the extreme heat will remain in the atmosphere and things will get much hotter.” But where and how the oceans release this accumulated heat is uncertain. And as the ocean stores heat, fragile underwater ecosystems are struggling.The most recent scientific report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) also notes with concern that the ocean is acidifying because of increased absorption of atmospheric CO2, and thus causing a threat for shell-forming species. Sharp increases in carbon dioxide levels will cause further acidification of the ocean.Currents distributing heatAnother important role the oceans play is that of distributor. Oceans deliver heat and life-sustaining nutrients around the globe. Just as blood vessels bring oxygen and nutrients to cells in the human body, the ocean’s currents carry oxygen, nutrients and heat throughout the Earth. The ocean distributes 25 to 50 percent of the energy the planet receives from the sun. For example, the Gulf Stream carries heat across the Atlantic. This warm current gives northwestern Europe a milder climate than it would normally have so far north. A change to the ocean’s circulation patterns could throw Europe into a colder period, even as the rest of world experiences warmer temperatures.43. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. the oceans cause global warmingB. the oceans stop global warmingC. the oceans release nutrients and heatD. the ocean ecosystems face more dangers44. From the passage we can learn that the ocean’s currents _____.A. produce oxygen and nutrients everywhereB. absorb 25~50% of the energy from the sunC. distribute heat and nutrients aroundD. change the ocean’s circulation patterns45. Which of the following is NOT the result of the ocean absorbing heat and carbon dioxide?A. It causes further acidification.B. It affects shell-forming species.C. It makes the atmosphere hotter.D. It regulates the Earth’s climate.46. This passage mainly talks about ______.A. the roles of oceansB. global warmingC. ocean currentsD. carbon dioxide四、任务型阅读Throw the bottles and boxes of drugs out of your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least come as good news to people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors (肿瘤).We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and moreeconomical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Its popularity has spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum (量子) physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance (物质) which the universe consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective way of restoring the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.Opponents of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy (化疗), losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common knowledge that except for when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. We should definitely start learning Yoga and1—5 DBDCC 6—10 ABCDA 11—15 BDBAC16—35 BDACB ACDDC ABACA DBCCD 36— 47 DADC DBC DCCA1.
