单选题 Nobody likes taking exams; exams in your own language can be stressful enough but somehow exams in a foreign language always seem to cause more worry and anxiety. Well, the good news is that, if you {{U}}41{{/U}} some simple steps, taking English language exams can be really quite {{U}}42{{/U}} . It won't exactly be fun, but it certainly shouldn't give you too many headaches or sleepless nights. If you are planning to {{U}}43{{/U}} one of the well-known exams such as Cambridge First Certificate, you will probably find that there's a preparation course {{U}}44{{/U}} at a school near you. Check that the school has a good {{U}}45{{/U}} of exam success and that the teacher is {{U}}46{{/U}} . It is a good idea to ask if you will be given homework and {{U}}47{{/U}} your written work will be marked by a teacher who knows the level of English {{U}}48{{/U}} by the exam. If you take an exam preparation course your teacher will give you all the information you need and you will find that {{U}}49{{/U}} in a class helps you to study more effectively. But you will still need to {{U}}50{{/U}} in a lot of work yourself (after all, the teacher can't take the exam for you.)

单选题 {{B}}Passage Two {{/B}} Rubbish dumps throughout the industrial world are nearly full, heralding a crisis for city authorities as they look at alternative ways of dealing with the global garbage crisis. That problem is peculiar to fast-moving, wealthy societies, which increasingly demand more packaged goods. In New York State alone, residents have doubled their demand for packaged goods in the past thirty years. And the situation is not expected to ease, not least because of social trends. As more women transfer their production and management skills to commercial enterprises, demand for convenience products in the home continues to grow, says a report published by the Washington-based World Watch Institute. The only solution for a nation which now spends more on wrapping food than it pays farmers to produce it, is recycling on a grand scale for commercial as well as conservation reasons. The Institute wants multi-layered dustbins to be distributed to households, and people to be obliged to separate their waste into four categories: organic, glass and metals; paper; plastics and miscellaneous. It also believes it can only be a matter of time before such bins have to be made compulsory. Cynthia Pollock, the author of the report, entitled "Mining Urban Wastes: The Potential for Recycling", points out that "consumers and policy makers are just beginning to realize that there is not real 'away' for throwaway". Pollock believes that recycling is the only alternative. "Although household wastes are usually thrown out with little regard for their remaining value, a list of the world's discards would reveal a wealth of materials." And it is not just food; "Simply recovering the print run of the Sunday edition of the New York Times would leave 75,000 trees standing and reduce the energy used per ton of paper by up to three-quarters."

单选题Passage Four The young man who came to the door—he was about thirty, perhaps, with a handsome, smiling face—didn't seem to find my lateness offensive, and led me into a large room. On one side of the room sat half a dozen women, all in white; they were much occupied with a beautiful baby, who seemed to belong to the youngest of the women. On the other side of the room sat seven or eight men, young, dressed in dark suits, very much at ease, and very imposing. The sunlight came into the room with the peacefulness that one remembers from rooms in one's early childhood—a sunlight encountered later only in one's dreams. I remember being astounded by the quietness, the ease, the peace, and the taste. I was introduced, they greeted me with a genuine cordiality and respect—and the respect increased my fright, for it meant that they expected something of me that I knew in my heart, for their sakes, I could not give—and we sat down. Elijah Muhammad was not in the room. Conversation was slow, but not as stiff as I had feared it would be. They kept it going, for I simply did not know which subjects I could acceptably bring up. They knew more about me and had read more of what I had written, than I had expected, and I wondered what they made of it all, what they took my usefulness to be. The women were carrying on their own conversation, in low tones; I gathered that they were not expected to take part in male conversations. A few women kept coming in and out of the room, apparently making preparations for dinner. We, the men, did not plunge deeply into any subject, for, clearly, we were all waiting for the appearance of Elijah. Presently, the men, one by one, left the room and returneD. Then I was asked if I would like to wash, and I, too, walked down the hall to the bathroom. Shortly after I came back, we stood up, and Elijah entereD. I do not know what I had expected to see. I had read some of his speeches, and had heard fragments of others on the radio and on television, so I associated him with strength. But, no—the man who came into the room was small and slender, really very delicately put together, with a thin face, large warm eyes, and a most winning smile. Something came into the room with him—his worshipers' joy at seeing him, his joy at seeing them. It was the kind of encounter one watches with a smile simply because it is so rare that people enjoy one another.

单选题 Research said to prove that greenhouse gases cause climate change has been condemned as a {{U}}sham{{/U}} by scientists. A UN report earlier this year said humans are to blame for global warming and there is "little doubt" it is linked to man's use of fossil fuels. But other climate experts say there is little scientific evidence to support the theory. In fact global warming could be caused by increased solar activity. Their argument will be outlined in a TV program called The Great Global Warming Swindle raising major questions about some of the evidence used for global warming. Ice core samples from Antarctica have been used as proof of how warming over the centuries has been accompanied by raised CO2 levels. But Professor Ian Clark at the University of Ottawa claims that warmer periods of the Earth's history came around 800 years before rises in carbon dioxide levels. The program also highlights how there was a huge surge in carbon dioxide emissions, yet global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940. The UN report, published in February, was promoted as being backed by more than 2,000 of the world's leading scientists. But Professor Paul Reiter said it was a "sham" given that this list included names of scientists who disagreed with its findings. He also said his name was removed from an assessment only when he threatened legal action against the panel. "That is how they make it seem that all the top scientists are agreed," he said. "It's not true." Gary Calder, a former editor of New Scientist, claims clouds and solar activity are the real reason behind climate change. "The government's chief scientific adviser Sir David King is supposed to be the representative of all that is good in British science, so it is disturbing that he and the government are ignoring a multitude of evidence against the greenhouse effect being the main driver against climate change," he said. Philip Stott, a professor of biogeography, argues climate change is too complicated to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds. He said: "The system is too complex to say exactly what the effect of reducing or increasing CO2 production would be." "It is ridiculous to see politicians arguing over whether they will allow the global temperature to rise by 2℃ or 3℃." The documentary is likely to spark fierce criticism from the scientific establishment.

单选题 A study by Dr. David Lewis from The University of Sussex, who coined the term " road rage," found that motorists face a hidden mental health impact from the stresses of driving, while bus travel can produce long-term health benefits. For the experiment, the heart rate and EDR (Electro-Dermal Response)of 30 commuters was measured when taking similar journeys by car and bus．The findings reveal a vast difference in EDR, a form of biophysical measurement that indicates mental stress. The EDR results suggested that taking the car produced significantly more stress than taking the bus, which was 33% less stressful. "EDR can be a hidden stress—it's not as visible as intensely nervous driving or audible as road rage. This type of stress can have long-term physiological and emotional implications," said Dr.Lewis, who finds three key factors that increase the stresses of driving a car. Driving in heavy traffic—especially against a deadline—requires a high level of attention. This requires the brain to work especially hard processing a myriad of incoming information and making, often split-second, decisions． Congestion and delays can raise blood pressure and physical tension which may manifest itself as " road rage, "having serious long-term health consequences and causing drivers sometimes to take reckless and foolish decisions. Driving in congested traffic now outweighs any previous benefits car-driving once gave． A sense of frustration of" wasting one's life" behind the wheel of the car, unable to do anything more productive than casual conversations or listening to the radio. On a bus it is possible to fill the time more profitably by doing some work or reading. He also notes that highly trained, professional bus drivers are skilled in negotiating the challenges of the road,and the relief of trusting someone else to be in charge of the journey is a key part of what makes taking the bus less stressful. He encourages people to get out of their cars and on to the bus for trips where it makes sense—such as shopping in town or heading to a restaurant—so that you don't need to battle traffic or find parking．Switching simple journeys can help achieve the goal of taking a billion Car journeys off the road．All it will take is everyone shifting around a trip a month.
