Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the{{U}} (13) {{/U}}and have made up their minds to{{U}} (14) {{/U}}the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest (抗议) against heavy trucks which run{{U}} (15) {{/U}}through the narrow High Street. "They not only make it{{U}} (16) {{/U}}to sleep at night, but they are {{U}}(17) {{/U}}damage to our houses and shops of historical{{U}} (18) {{/U}}," said John Norris, one of the protesters. "{{U}} (19) {{/U}}we must have these noisy trucks on the roads," said Jean Lacey, a biology student, "why don't they build a new road that goes{{U}} (20) {{/U}}the town? Burlington isn't much more than a{{U}} (21) {{/U}}village. Its streets were never{{U}} (22) {{/U}}for heavy traffic." Harry Fields also studying{{U}} (23) {{/U}}said they wanted to make as much{{U}} (24) {{/U}}as possible to force the{{U}} (25) {{/U}}to realize what everybody was having to{{U}} (26) {{/U}}. "Most of them don't{{U}} (27) {{/U}}here anyway," he said, "they come in for meetings and that, and the Town Hall is soundproof (隔音), {{U}}(28) {{/U}}they probably don't{{U}} (29) {{/U}}the noise all that much. It's high time they realized the{{U}} (30) {{/U}}" The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were {{U}}(31) {{/U}}on their side, and even if they weren't they soon would be. {{U}}(32) {{/U}}asked if they were afraid that the police might come to stop them. "Not really," she said, "actually we are proper bell-ringers. I mean we are assistant bell-ringers for the church. There is no law against practising." I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.

单选题{{B}}Text 1{{/B}} Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of Hong Kong's food, by 2050, a new report predicts. Hong Kong could also be at risk from flooding as sea levels rose. The report recommends building sea walls around low-lying areas such as the new port and airport reclamations and uses the most recent projections on climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for China. By 2050 about 30 to 40 percent of the country will experience changes in the type of vegetation it supports, with tropical and sub-tropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert conditions rising in the west where currently the desert is temperate. Crop-growing areas will expand but any benefit is expected to be negated by increased evaporation of moisture, making it too dry to grow crops such as rice. The growing season also is expected to alter, becoming shorter in southern and central China, the mainland's breadbasket. The rapid changes make it unlikely that plants could adapt. "China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, there will be decreased production because of water limitations," said Dr. Rik Leemans, one of the authors of the report. Famine could result because of the demands of feeding the population —— particularly if it grows and the diminished productivity of the land. "It looks very difficult for the world as a whole", he said. Dr. Leemans said China's reliance on cola-fired power for its industrial growth did not bode well for the world climate. "I think the political and economic powers in China are much greater than the environmental powers, and (greenhouse gas emissions) could accelerate", Dr. Leemans said. "China is not taking the problem seriously yet, although it is trying to incorporate this kind of research to see what is going to happen." The climate change report, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr. David Melville of WWF-Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to Hong Kong. Food supplies, for instance, could be affected by lower crop yields. "Maybe we could afford to import food from elsewhere but you have to keep in mind that the type of changes experienced in southern China will take place elsewhere as welt", he said. Sea levels could rise as glaciers melted and the higher temperatures expanded the size of the oceans, threatening much of developed Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land. "Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on the whole area", Mr. Melville said, adding that sea walls would be needed; Depleted fresh water supplies would be another problem because increased evaporation would reduce levels.

单选题 {{B}} Text{{/B}} As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door, "Guess what?" I always take a deep {{U}}(26) {{/U}} on this very leading question. "What?" I asked. "I just won a sales contest at work and the {{U}}(27) {{/U}} is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!" She was so {{U}}(28) {{/U}}. We knew the restaurant was extremely good. "See? I told you there would be a {{U}}(29) {{/U}} for me to wear my new spring outfit," she shyly reminded me. "{{U}} (30) {{/U}} can play at that game," I responded, "I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino-imported straw hat and a new silk tie. We will be well {{U}}(31) {{/U}}." It was early {{U}}(32) {{/U}} and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n) {{U}}(33) {{/U}} of the river. And the table was {{U}}(34) {{/U}} set, with a smoke-gray table cloth and bright colored napkins. A delicious meal {{U}}(35) {{/U}} in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time. As it {{U}}(36) {{/U}}, this will probably never be forgotten. As the shadows lengthened, the {{U}}(37) {{/U}} rocking by the riverbank, I murmured, "Why not take a walk?" Hand in hand, we walked by the stores. People smiled and nodded. "I {{U}}(38) {{/U}} realized there were so many {{U}}(39) {{/U}} people as we have seen this evening, dear," I observed. "Probably your new straw hat or your {{U}}(40) {{/U}}," she said. After receiving many smiles, we {{U}}(41) {{/U}} ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the {{U}}(42) {{/U}} . It was then that I saw the {{U}}(43) {{/U}} for all the smiles. Caught in the fly of my trousers and {{U}}(44) {{/U}} down for all to see was a bright red {{U}}(45) {{/U}} from the restaurant!
