听力原文： In the 19th century it was common to hear people in Europe and America say that the resources of the sea were unlimited. For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid 1800s commented that all of the great sea-fish industries are inexhaustible. Today there's evidence that the resources of the sea are as seriously threatened as those of the land and the air, and the concern of conservationists now includes sea-fish as well as the African elephant, the Indian tiger and the American eagle. Further, the threat to fish is more alarming in some ways than the threat to birds and land animals because fish are a much needed food resource. Many people throughout the world depend on fish as an important part of their diets, and a decline in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and population.

By defining religion as a sacred engagement with what is taken to be a spiritual reality, it is possible to consider the importance of religion in human life without making claims about what it really is or ought to be. Religion is not an object with a single, flexed meaning, or even a zone with clear boundaries. It is an aspect of human experience that may intersect, incorporate, or transcend other aspects of life and society. Such a definition avoid the drawbacks of limiting the investigation of religion to Western or biblical categories such as monotheism (belief in one god only) or to church structure, which are not universal. For example, in tribal societies, religion unlike the Christian church usually is not a separate institution but pervades the whole of public and private life. In Buddhism, gods are not as central as the idea of a Buddha. In many traditional cultures, the idea of a sacred cosmic order is the most prominent religious belief. Because of this variety, some scholars prefer to use a general term such as the sacred to designate the common foundation of religious life.
Religion in his understanding includes a complex of activities that cannot be reduced to any single aspect of human experience. It is a part of individual life but also of group dynamics. Religion includes not only patterns of behavior but also patterns of language and thought. It is sometimes an integral part of a culture. Religious experience may be expressed in visual symbols, dance and performance, elaborate philosophical systems, legendary and imaginative stories, formal ceremonies, and detailed rules of ethical conduct and law. Each of these elements assumes innumerable cultural forms. In some ways there are as many forms of religious expression as there are human cultural environment.
At the bottom of the world lines a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, 31 recent times, unknown to man. 32 of the continent is a complete blank on our maps, A 1,000-mile stretch of the coastline has never been 33 by a ship. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally 34 the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with d 35 ice and surrounded by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia c 36 , centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most u 37 water areas of the world—the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. The continental ice sheet is more than two miles 38 in its center; thus the air over the Antarctic is much colder than it is 39 the Arctic regions. More than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia—a region rich 40 forest and mining industries. Apart from a handful weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole is not a single tree, industry or settlement.
听力原文： The United Nations is predicting food shortages in Zimbabwe this year because of government policies that al-lowed war veterans to take over hundreds of white owned farms, crippling their production.
In a report published Friday, the U.N. Food and Ag-ricultural Organization foresees a nearly one-quarter drop in Zimbabwe's cereal production from last year. This includes a plunge of more than 50 percent in corn yields. The report says Zimbabwe will probably need to import more than 500,000 tons of cereals this year, but has only the hard currency to purchase about one-fifth that a-mount.
The FAO study says the urban poor and low-income residents of southern and eastern Zimbabwe are most vulnerable to food shortages.
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has described the seizure of farms as a justified protest against the ownership by whites of about a third of the country’s productive land.
The government wants to expropriate white-owned land without compensation and redistribute it to landless blacks.
According to the U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization, how much will Zimbabwe’s cereal production drop from last year？
A．25%.
B．15%.
C．50%.
D．20%.
听力原文： Ecology is the study of the interrelationship of living things to their environment. This even includes the study of nonliving things. In recent years, ecology has become a source of great interest to many people who live in the United States and Canada. The interest has been increasing because some experts feel that we are destroying the land on which we live. They also feel that we can stop this destruction by being more careful.
Some of the environmental problems are caused by industry. Wastes pollute the waters. Gases and fumes poison the air. When air and water are polluted, then fish, birds, and other living cream die. Human life is also affected by industrial neglect. People become poisoned in many ways while working on and around unsafe plants and factories. Nuclear power plants have caused great controversy.
People also cause some of the problems. Cars that people drive pour fumes into the air we breathe. Garbage is sometimes dumped into streams that supply drinking water. Forest fires are often caused by careless campers. Beaches and city streets are littered with rubbish.
(30)
A．Living things.
B．Living things and nonliving things.
C．The environmental problems caused by industry and people.
D．The interrelationship of living things to their environment.

Rivers
By original usage, a river is flowing water in a channel with defined banks. Modern usage includes rivers that are multichanneled, intermittent, or transient in flow and channels that are practically bankless. The concept of channeled surface flow, however, remains central to the definition.
Rivers are nourished by precipitation, by direct overland runoff, through springs and seepages (渗流), or from meltwater at the edges of snowfields and glaciers. The contribution of direct precipitation on the water surface is usually minute, except where much of a catchment area is occupied by lakes. River water losses result from seepage into shallow or deep aquifers (沙石含水层) and particularly from evaporation. The difference between the water input and loss sustains surface discharge or streamflow. The amount of water in river system at any time is but a tiny fraction of the Earth's total water; 97 percent of all water is contained in the oceans and about three-quarters of fresh water is stored as land ice; nearly all the remainder occurs as groundwater. Lakes hold less than 0.5 percent Of all fresh water, soil moisture accounts for about 0.05 percent, and water in river channels for roughly half as much, 0.025 percent, which represents only about one four-thousandth of the Earth's total fresh water.
Water is constantly cycled through the systems of land ice, soil, lakes, groundwater, and river channels, however. The discharge of rivers to the oceans delivers to these systems the equivalent of the water vapor that is blown overland and then consequently precipitated as rain or snow — i.e., some 7 percent of mean annual precipitation on the globe and 30 percent of precipitation on land areas.
The historical record includes marked shifts in the appreciation of rivers, numerous conflicts in use demand, and an intensification of use that has rapidly accelerated during the 20th century. External freight trade became concentrated in estuarine ports rather than in inland ports when oceangoing vessels increased in size.
Demand on open-channel water increases as population and per capita water use increase and as underground water supplies fall short. Irrigation use constitutes a comparatively large percentage of the total supply.
Present-day demands on rivers as power sources range from the floating of timber, through the use of water for cooling, to hydroelectric generation. Logging in forests relies primarily on notation during the season of melt-water high flow. Large power plants other industrial facilities are often located along .rivers, which supply the enormous quantities of water needed for cooling purposes. Manufacturers of petrochemicals, steel, and woolen cloth also make large demands. Hydroelectric power generation was introduced more than 100 years ago, but the majority of the existing installations have been built since 1950.
The ever-increasing exploitation of rivers has given rise to a variety of problems. Extensive commercial navigation of rivers has resulted in much artificial improvement of natural channels, including increasing the depth of the channels to permit passage of larger vessels. In some cases, this lowering of the fiver bottom has caused the water table of the surrounding area to drop, which has adversely affected agriculture. Also, canalization, with its extensive system of locks and navigation dams, ofte
A．are multichanneled in flow
B．have clear banks
C．include bankless channels
D．exist for only a short time in flow
