4.根据以下资料，回答50-53题。 　　Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more, but enjoying it less．That describes the way many of us live today．We are doing more, but enjoying it less．And when that doesn't work, we get the problem．In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach. 　　The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe．Satisfaction lies with less, not with more．Yet, we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek. 　　Arthur Lindman, in his very effective book, "The Harried Leisure Class," described the uselessness of pursuing more．His research focused on what people did with their leisure time．He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time．But, ironically, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them．Carried to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety．That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year. Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this．The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago．It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more. 　　If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me．How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on? 　　The more I learn, the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things．The more I give up, the more I seem to gain．But words will never convince you．You must try it for yourself．50 Arthur Lindman wrote __.

8.根据以下资料，回答103-106题。 　　The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday．Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is covering small island nations and threatening to destroy the low-lying, densely-populated low regions around the globe. 　　The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans．It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors. 　　Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice．Both processes are caused by global warming．The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven meters, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai. 　　Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say．But up to now, there has been a puzzling gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans. 　　The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reunite the models with observed data．Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 meters from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC. 104 Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to __.

10.Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:newstandards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and joblosses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making peopleunable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on schoolreform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a morehumane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk andSchneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key tosuccessful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,todiscuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adultsin school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直). The challeage isthat our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effortteachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last belland those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, itbecomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we allImam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal tamlparticular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the studeata. don'tfeel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the windowand our relationships suffer.According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head?

11.根据以下资料，回答78-81题。 　　The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball. 　　In ancient Egypt, as everywhere, pitching stones was a favorite children's game．But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child．Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls. 　　At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines．Later they were made of piece of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay. 　　Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games．Before long they had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules．Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun．Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.81 The best title for this selection is __.

Coconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both“meat“ and “water” inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese(葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco，meaning “ghost” in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since.

The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses，including animal food and fertilizer.

And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree， which

produces the nut，also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.The coconut got its name because of __________ .

17.It is still sometimes difficult to understand why those between ages 10 and 18 would endangertheir lives by joining armed forces or rebel groups and become fighting soldiers. The recentlypublished book, Young Soldiers, Why They Choose to Fight by Rachel Brett and Irma Specht, triesto find an answer.There is no doubt that children fight in most armed conflicts today. While international attentionfocuses largely on those who are forced into battles, thousands more enlist(应征入伍) voluntarily.In an attempt to understand the young who take up arms, Brett and Specht interviewed 53 boyand girl soldiers and ex-soldiers from around the world, Afghanistan, Colombia, the Republic of theCongo for example. All interviewees were involved with armed groups before the age of 18 and allclassified themselves as volunteers.What these two field officers heard is “I joined involuntarily—if you have nothing, you volunteerfor the army”. Other reasons young people gave are self—defense, revenge, poverty, andunemploy-ment.But while it is common knowledge that most child soldiers come from poor and disadvantagedbackgrounds, Young Soldiers shows that the issue is far more complex. Many poor child do not jointhe army. The environmental, educational, social, cultural, and highly personal factors determinewhether someone decides to join up or not.The battlefield is not a place children. One young soldier described being there as “too sad anexperience”. The authors hope that by understanding why teenagers join up, those child soldiersshould know how to discourage others from the same tragedy.Young Soldiers, Why They Choose to Fight is ( )
