it is a strip mine. when a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. then it takes away the material it wants. strip mining totally destroys the land. gradually, the lovely island of nauru started to look like the moon. in 1968, nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. in addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. soon people realized that they had a terrible problem their phosphate was running out. ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. by 2000, nauru was financially ruined. experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. this will probably never happen. 56. what might be the authors purpose in writing the text?a. to seek help for naurus problems. b. to give a warning to other countriesc. to show the importance of money d. to tell a heartbreaking story of a war.57. what was nauru like before the europeans came? a. rich and powerful b. modern and open c. peaceful and attractive d. greedy and aggressive58. the ecological disaster in nauru resulted from _. a. soil pollutionb. phosphate overmining c. farming activity d. whale hunting 59. which of the following was a cause of naurus financial problem? a. its leaders misused the moneyb. it spent too much repairing the island c. its phosphate mining cost much money d. it lost millions of dollars in the civil war.60. what can we learn about nauru from the last paragraph? a. the ecological damage is difficult to repair. b. the leaders will take the experts words seriously. c. the island was abandoned by the nauruans d. the phosphate mines were destroyedbmonthly talks at london canal museumour monthly talks start at 19:30 on the first thursday of each month except august. admission is at normal charges and you dont need to book. they end around 21:00.november 7ththe canal pioneers, by chris lewis. james brindley is recognized as one of the leading early canal engineers. he was also a major player in training others in the art of canal planning and building. chris lewis will explain how brindley made such a positive contribution to the education of that group of early “civil engineers”.december 5thice for the metropolis, by malcolm tucker. well before the arrival of freezers, there was a demand for ice for food preservation and catering, malcolm will explain the history of importing natural ice and the technology of building ice wells, and how londons ice trade grew.february 6than update on the cotswold canals, by liz payne. the stroudwater canal is moving towards reopening. the thames and severn canal will take a little longer. we will have a report on the present state of play.march 6theyots and aits- thames islands, by miranda vickers. the thames had many islands. miranda has undertaken a review of all of them. she will tell us about those of greatest interest.online bookings: .uk/bookmore into: .uk/whatsonlondon canal museum12-13 new wharf road, london ni 9rt.uk www.canalmuseum.mobitel:020 7713 083661.when is the talk on james brindley?a. february 6th. b. march 6th. c. november 7th. d december 5th.62. what is the topic of the talk in february?a. the canal pioneers. b. ice for the metropolisc. eyots and aits- thames islandsd. an update on the cotsword canals63. who will give the talk on the islands in the thames.a. miranda vickers b. malcolm tucker c. chris lewis d. liz paynecthe freezing northeast hasnt been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to sarasota, florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. i left for the land of warmth and vitamin c(维生素c), thinking of beaches and orange trees. when we touched down to blue skies and warm air, i sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the sarasota farmers market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call. the market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p. m, rain or shine, along north lemon and state streets. baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the java dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, ive refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. no matter how attractive they look in the store, once i get them home theyre unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. but i homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the browns grove farms stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. these were the real deal- and at that moment, i realized that the best part of sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in new york i wouldnt be experiencing again for months.delighted as i was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when i learned that browns grove farm is one of the suppliers for jack dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the sarasota ritz carlton, where- luckily for me- i was planning to have dinner that very night. without even seeing the menu, i knew id be ordering every tomato on it.64. what did the author think of her winter life in new york?a. exciting. b. boring. c. relaxing. d. annoying.65. what made the authors getting up late early worthwhile?a. having a swim. b. breathing in fresh air.c. walking in the morning sun. d. visiting a local farmers market.66. what can we learn about tomatoes sold in new york in winter?a. they are soft. b. they look nice.c. they taste great. d. they are juicy.67. what was the author going to that evening?a. go to a farm. b. check into a hotel.c. eat in a restaurant. d. buy fresh vegetables.dif humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily，the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动) species on this planet. instead，we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the suns light.this is a basic evolutionary fact,even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal beings. yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night: weve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.the benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences -called light pollution 一 whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design， which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels 一 and light rhythms to which many forms of life, including, ourselves, have adapted. wherever human light spills into the natural l world, some aspect or life is affected .in most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze(霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. weve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit nigh, dark enough for the planet venus to throw shadow on earth, is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost.weve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further form the truth. among mammals alone,the number of nocturnal species is astonishing, light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁). the effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being captured by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that areas much as a million times righter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint in
