12．Dear David，
I'm glad you would like to share your feelings with me．It's hardly surprising that your feelings of not being"grown up"have come on strongly at this point in your life，just before you're about to become a father．You are asking：Will I make a good father？How will I cope？I think nearly every man must have the occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy before the birth．
It's difficult，honestly，to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to．The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he's at home．But as he walks through the office door，and knows he's going to be surrounded by staff for advice，he grows into a fully mature man．And I think it's a mistake to imagine that we all feel，as we age，a kind of progress of states，from the baby to the adult．Most people feel，on Tuesday，about three years old，and on a Wednesday，around 80．
There's a common remark that"all men are little boys"，but it's not true．It's more true that men often behave like little boys．But nearly all people，at some moments in their lives，are able to be greatly mature．．Once your baby arrives，you'll soon feel less childlike．When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug，the adult in you will rise up to prevent it．
Comfort yourself，David，with two truths．One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they，like you，feel frightened．And remember that people who haven't grown up don't go around talking about the fact．
    Good luck to you and your little one．
Sincerely Yours，
Miss Advice 28．According to the passage，Miss Advice thinks David's self-doubtC．
A．valuable    
B．unusual
C．natural
D．bearable
29．From Paragraph 2，we can learn that people's sense of maturityC
A．will increase with age
B．is obviously seen at home
C．changes with different situations
D．becomes stronger with familiar people
30．Miss Advice holds thatC．
A．a(chǎn)ll men behave like little boys
B．people tend to laugh at the subject
C．men with a baby feel more grown-up
D．people enjoy talking about their immaturity
31．Miss Advice wrote the letter toA．
A．offer suggestions to a future father    
B．teach people how to grow up
C．encourage people to be responsible  
D．solve problems of the less grown-up．

分析 這篇文章是Miss advice寫給David的信．David要做爸爸了，但是卻懷疑自己不夠成熟可能不能勝任做爸爸的角色．Miss advice在信中做了解釋，并且給David提供了建議．

29．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段And I think it's a mistake to imagine that we all feel，as we age，a kind of progress of states，from the baby to the adult．可知人們的成熟感是隨著不同的情況而改變的．故選C．
30．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段Once your baby arrives，you'll soon feel less childlike．可知Miss advice認為有孩子的男人更成熟．故選C．

10．Experts estimate that one out of every five fish sold was caught illegally．It threatens（威脅） food security and hurts the environment．Officials are using new observational technology to fight illegal fishing．
"Thank you for taking the time to join us here in Harwell （UK） in the Operations Center to what we call‘Project Eyes on the Seas．'"says Tony Long，who leads the Ending Illegal Fishing program for Pew Charitable Trusts．The group created Project Eyes on the Seas．Large three-dimensional images of a globe can be seen on a video．
"It looks different from what you might expect because this globe only shows you the boats that are coming into this system from a live automated information system or AIS．"
The screen shows 120，000fishing boats have AIS．They are required to have the technology．But those who are fishing illegally often turn it off．The technology does not tell observers when that happens．Project Eyes on the Seas combines satellite information with secret government records on every ship's past activities．
Mr．Long says that permits researchers to understand exactly where the fishing boats are operating．The Pew team gives the information it gathers to port officials to help them decide if they should take action against a ship．Tony Long says he would like to be able to provide port officials all over the world with clear lists．They would inform the officials about ships to inspect，ships to bar from entrance，and ships to permit entrance for trade activities．
The Pacific island nation of Palau was an early user of the technology．Palau has one of the richest fishing areas in the world．Last year，it announced a plan to ban commercial fishing in a 630，000square kilometer area．K．B．Sakuma is a special adviser to the president of Palau．He says Palau is trying to deal with a recent increase in illegal，unsupervised（無人監(jiān)管的）and unreported fishing．
"And it's come to a headin the last year or two．From our southern island in the evening you can see on the horizon just dotted lights of these illegal fishermen that come into our waters，fill their ships with our fish，our resources，our food security…"

41．According to the estimation，what is the percentage of illegal fishing？D
A.1%        B.5%        C.23.5%         D.20%
42．The information is collected by the Pew team so as toD．
A．leave written records for the country only
B．help fishermen to catch more fish on the Seas
C．prevent all of the fishing practices on the Seas
D．a(chǎn)ssist port officials in deciding whether to ban a ship from fishing
43．What does the underlined word"they"in Paragraph 5refer to？A
A．The clear lists．
B．The investigators．
C．The fishing boats．

A．The issue is urgent．
B．The problem begins to appear．
C．The number of fishermen is increasing．
D．The head of the fishermen is coming．
45．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？C
A．When the fishermen turn off the AIS，the inspector will know the situation．
B．The special adviser to the president of Palau leads the Ending Illegal Fishing program．

7．Climate change could affect food supplies，water resources，human health and homes．
If greenhouse gas emissions keep increasing at the current rate，global temperature is expected to rise between 2°C and 6°C by 2100．This doesn't sound much，but a 5°C change is the difference between the current warm period and an ice age．
Global warming leads to other changes in the climate：melting ice，more evaporation（蒸發(fā)），changes in geographical patterns of rainfall，heavier downpours separated by longer dry spells，more frequent heat waves，more intense hurricanes，and sea level rise．
These changes could affect crop growth as drought，increased evaporation and shrinking glaciers（冰川）disrupt water supply．Some crops could suffer heat stress．While there may be benefits in some regions，overall climate change is likely to have a negative impact on global food supplies．The impacts of climate change on agriculture will vary widely around the world．A global temperature rise of 1-2°C is expected to increase food production in some regions，particularly mid-latitude areas．But in tropical regions even a small amount of warming could reduce crop yields．A temperature rise of 3°C or more could threaten global food resources，as all regions are likely to experience negative impacts overall．
Freshwater resources could also diminish，especially in tropical regions，as rain patterns change and evaporation speeds up．Some communities could lose essential melt water as glaciers disappear，while more intense rainfall and hurricanes could cause more flooding，leading to water pollution and bacterial diseases such as cholera（霍亂）becoming more widespread．
Climate change could lead to a variety of health impacts-both positive and negative．On the negative side，scientists anticipate more cases of malnutrition，heatstroke and waterborne diseases such as cholera．Although some populations will benefit from a reduced risk of cold-related illnesses such as hypothermia，overall a warming world is likely to have negative effects on human health．
Scientists also expect damage to homes and buildings from more intense hurricanes，heavier rainfall and rising sea levels．Climate change is likely to affect infrastructure by increasing the risk of both coastal and inland flooding around the world，owing to a combination of heavier rainfall，rising sea levels and increased storm damage．Homes and buildings could also be affected by the thawing of frozen ground and greater risk of forest fires．
The consequences of climate change will have an impact on people around the world．

67．With global temperature increased by 1-2°C，D．
A．crops yields could be increased in tropical regions
B．food production could rise throughout the world
C．chances are that food resources would be threatened overall
D．mid-latitude areas are likely to experience positive impacts
68．The underlined word"hypothermia"in Paragraph 6 possibly means a serious medical condition caused byA．
A．lower temperature than normal       
B．higher temperature than normal
C．more cases of malnutrition               
D．cases of waterborne diseases
69．According to the passage，climate change has both positive and negative effects onC．
A．food supplies and buildings         
B．freshwater resources and homes
C．human health and food supplies      
D．human health and homes
70．The passage is mainly meant to tell usB．
A．how global warming leads to changes in the climate
B．how climate change affects people worldwide 
C．why climate change affects our crop growth
D．why climate change contributes to all bad results．

3．Pool Safety Tips for Kids
On a hot summer day，there are few things that are more appealing than a nice cool pool．（36）EAnd it is completely relaxing．Of course，if you have children，there are certain safety measures you should take，whether you have a pool in your backyard or are going to a public pool．
Go swimming together．No person should ever swim alone．Though many people do，the simple truth is that it only takes a second to become injured or drown．（37）FHaving someone there with you can make the difference between life and death．This is especially true for young children．If your child is under the age of 5，you should never allow them to swim out of arm's length．
（38）AKids love to chase one another through the water．But it is important that you emphasize to your children that at no time should they be running around the pool or pushing anyone．In the water，teach children not to jump on top of one another and to watch their surroundings，so that they do not accidentally knock into others，injuring them．Playing around in the pool is very interesting but dangerous．
Keep it locked．If you own a pool，you must have a locking gate around your pool．
（39）D Keep the gate locked at all times，even when you are physically in the pool．It is terrible for children to steal into the pool．
Know the way out．（40）BMake sure that they know where all ladders are，and that you teach them to use them for entering and exiting the pool safely．Although your child may be able to lift herself or himself out of the pool using the side，that is not the safest way to go．

A．Don't play around in the pool．
B．Be sure to show all children the proper way to exit the pool．
C．Swimming under water is forbidden in the poor．
D．This is to prevent children from entering the pool without your permission．
E．Slipping into the water seems like the perfect way to deal with the heat．
F．Something sad happens every year．
G．Make sure kids know food should be eaten either before or after swimming．

13．The air quality has worsened in the Chinese capital since Wednesday，causing renewed discontent among residents．
Without rainfall and wind to decrease pollutants，particulate matter（顆粒物質(zhì)） has been accumulating in the air．Most monitoring stations measured PM 10 （particulate matter smaller than 10 micrograms） at higher than 300 micrograms per cubic meter．In southwestern Beijing's Fangshan District，the Liangxiang station recorded 516 micrograms of PM 10 per cubic meter，the highest reading of the day，according to the Beijing Municipal Environmental Monitoring Center．More than 150 micrograms is considered harmful to health．
Beijing has been covered by heavy smog off and on this winter，and the ongoing air concerns are wearing on residents，particularly as they prepare to celebrate the Spring Festival holiday next week．"I almost got choked by the smog when I stepped out of the office building on Wednesday，"said Yang Yanli，24，an accountant．"The smell is so terrible，as though I'm inhaling lots of coal，that it has spoiled my holiday mood．"
Unlike the smog that hit mostly the southern part of the capital on January 1，the smog in recent days has covered the entire city，according to the Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau．Worse yet，it will continue until Saturday，when the wind will pick up and blow it away，the bureau predicted．
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggests people stay at home to protect themselves from breathing and heart problems caused by heavy smog and people with breathing problems put off traveling if the smog stays．But many people said they had to brave the bad air to travel，especially migrants who are eager to reunite with their families during the Spring Festival．
