Part III Reading Comprehension
Passage I
Although the term "global warming" has become increasingly familiar to the general public, a recent survey carried out by the Chinchilla institute for Environmental Studies clearly demonstrates that the full implications of the term are far From under-stood. As long as pubis awareness remains so low, the political measures required to deal will the potentially disastrous consequences are unlikely to come about.
Over 80 percent of the people interviewed in the Chinchilla Survey were unable to indicate any of the effects of a worldwide rise in temperature. Even more disturbing was the very small proportion of people interviewed (7. 4 percent) who felt that their lives would be directly affected by global warming during the next 20) years.
This indifference is in sharp contrast to be concerns voiced by the team of professionals who conducted the Survey. Team leader Professor Ernest Wong stated that we should expect to experience significant lifestyle changes as a result of the effects of global warming. In detailing the likely effects, Professor Wong emphasised that the climatic changes caused by rise in global temperature of only 1C would result in enormous changes.
Primary among these changes would be the rise in sea level as a result of the melting of the polar icecaps. The consequent 30-cencimetrerise in sea levels would have disastrous consequences for lowlying coastal areas. The very existence of countries such as Bangladesh would be threatened. Indeed, few coastal cities would entirely escape sever flooding and damage Although considerable debate surrounds the accuracy of Professor wrong s predictions those who share his pessimistic prediction insist that governments must respond to this challenge by investing in coastal defence.
Even inland areas will not be able to avoid the consequences of global warming. Changes in the rainfall pattern are likely to result flooding and dsertification, both of which will influence agriculture throughout the world.
In a recent interview, Professor Wong illustrated these points with dramatic effect. Chinchilla itself, a medium-sized provincial city at the centre of one of the country s major ricegrowing areas, would, he claimed, be profoundly affected. Although, given its height and inland location, the city would not suffer front coastal flooding, the possible reduction in the rainfall would endanger the region s economy.
In concluding his interview, Professor Wong left his audience in no doubt about the urgency of the problem. "Unless we plan for the future, we will not see the necessary mobilisation of forces at local, regional, national, and international level that are essential to face this issue, the issue of the 21st century."
36. Who is well aware of the consequences of global warming?
A. The government. B. The public.
C. The experts. D. Both A and C
37. Professor Wong called for _______.
A. awareness at all levels to effectively face global warming
B. people s efforts to stop global warming
C. dams being built along the coasts
D. people s changing their lifestyle right away
38. It seems that _______ will not suffer as a result of global warming.
A. coastal cities B. inland places.
C. no places D. island countries
39. The best title for this passage would be.
A. Global Warming, an issue Worth Serious Consideration
B. Global Warming and Flooding
C. Global Warming and Agriculture
D. Global Warming and its Effect on Economy
Passage 2
Researchers have recently found a connection between diseases and stressful situations. To test this theory, psychologists are trying to find a link between the brain and the immune system.
The immune system in our bodies fights the bacteria and viruses which cause disease. Therefore, whether or not we are likely to get various diseases depends on how well our immune system works. Biologists used to think that the immune system was a separate, independent part of our bodies. Recently, however, they have found that our brain can affect our immune system. This discovery indicates that there may be a connection between emotional factors, such as stress or depression, and illness.
Although many doctors in the past suspected a connection between emotional factor and disease, they had no proof. Scientists have only recently discovered how the brain and the immune system function. Before this, no one could see a link between them. As a result, medical science never seriously considered the idea that psychological factors could cause disease.
Several recent studies showed a connection between stress and illness. For example, researchers went to an American military school to study the students. They found that the sick students there had a lot of academic pressure and wanted to achieve, but they were not very good students, in a similar study, researchers studied a group of student nurses and found that the nurses who developed cold sores were the ones who described themselves as general)y unhappy people.
In addition to these results, which support their theory, researchers are also looking for proof that stress can damage the immune system. Researchers studied recently bereaved people, i. e. people whose loved ones have just died, because they are more likely to become ill or die. By examining the immune system of discovery, they examined some white blood cells which are an important part of the immune system. They were not functioning properly The fact that they were not working correctly indicates that severe psychological stress, such as a loved one s death, may damage an important part of our immune system.
There is still no positive proof of a connection between the immune system and psychological factors. Researchers also say that the results of the studies on bereaved people could have a different explanation. For example, bereaved people often sleep and eat less than normal, or may drink alcohol or take medication. These factors can also affect the immune system. More research is needed co clearly establish the connection between the immune system and psychological factors.
40. The study on the military school students indicated that _______.
A. life in the school was very stressful
B. disease could be caused by psychological factors
C. the good students were likely to f311 ill
D. stress often made students unhappy
41. The immune system _______.
A. used to be unconnected with the brain
B. causes a lot of stress to people
C. can be affected by emotional factors
D. functions independently
42. In the past, many doctors _______.
A. never thought of any【责编:捣蛋少帅】-
