His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocke

25、d his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in coming of

26、new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didnt lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic wo

27、rks, Yeatss poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to world

28、wide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Price in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now his valued as a manor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet w

29、ho produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeatss death in 1939, W. H.

32、eatss historical influenceC. Yeatss artistic ambitionD. Yeatss national honorBMapping Your WorldDifferent forms of maps are appearing. They allow independent travelers to get local knowledge of places they are visiting, from the official to the unusual. Meanwhile, hi-tech developments are creating n

33、ew ways for us to map the world. Here are two of our favorites:Green MapsGreen Maps allows people to share with the world their knowledge of environmentally friendly places and attractions in the local areas. Users add information with a set of icons (图标), making it easy to read any map, whatever th

34、e nationalities of those who produce it. At present there are over five hundred map projects being developed in 54 countries. Green Maps' advertised idea is "think global, map local". It is a wonderful way of gaining all sorts of information of a place, ranging from community gardens t

35、o good places of bird watching. Green Maps is not specifically intended for travelers. Not all of its maps are online, so it may be necessary for some users to communicate with producers through the Green Maps website. Maps MashupsMany people use online maps developed by Google, but not many know ab

36、out the mashups of them. Working in a similar way to Green Maps, Map Mashups allows people to add icons of their own to existing maps to express a certain topic. The mashups is so called because it combines all the knowledge you could ever need. It ranges from the extremely useful, such as where all

37、 the World Heritage Site are, to the most bizarre (古怪的), such as where America's drunkest cities are. With the mashups added to the basic Google Maps, a multi-layered (多层的) map can be created.60. According to the passage, which of the following is a characteristic of Green Maps?A. Aiming at envi

38、ronmental protection.B. Introducing local attractions with icons.C. Offering advice to independent travelers.D. Collecting icons worldwide for local maps.61. Which of the following icons is most probably NOT used in Green Maps?A. B.C. D. 62. Map Mashups is named with the word “mashups” because A. it

39、 is produced by users all over the worldB. it gathers various kinds of informationC. it shares icons with Green MapsD. it is a branch of Google Maps63. What do Green Maps and Map Mashups have in common?A. They are created by local people.B. They are environmentally friendly.C. Users can edit maps on

40、 the Internet.D. Users need to communicate with produces.CSkeptics (怀疑论者) are very strange. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread noting but bad news about the en

41、vironment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book ,The Skeptical Environmentalist, declar

42、es that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course ,another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse

43、the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the concl

44、usion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for une

45、xamined materials is incredible（不可信的）”。A critical （批判的）eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interest. Peo

46、ple might become half-blind before a world partially exhibited by the media. Thats a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.64. According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?A. People who agree on the po

47、pularity of “eco-guilt”.B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.65. Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborgs books?A. Some bi

48、g businesses intend to protect their own interests. B .The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.C. The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.D. Industryfunded media present confusing information.66. The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_.A. voice a

49、 different opinionB. find fault with Lomborgs book C. challenge the authority of the mediaD. point out the value of scientific views67. What is the authors main purpose in writing the passenger?A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.B. To warn the public of the danger of halfblindness w

50、ith reviews.C. To blame the medias lack of responsibility in information.D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.DThe Great Lakes The United States has all kinds of lakes, large and small. But most of the fresh water in America is in five large lakes in the northeast

51、 and central US. These are the “Great Lakes”: Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, and Lake Ontario. There is enough water here to cover the US 10 feet deep.Travel in the Great Lakes area is easy because the lakes and many rivers are connected. Water transportation is quicker and che

52、aper than travel by land. For this reason, many industries such as steel and car factories were started around the Great Lakes about 100 years ago. But because of the many factories, the lakes and rivers have become filled with dangerous chemicals and oil. In 1969, the Cuyahoga River was so oily and

53、 dirty that it caught fire and burned for many hours. Now people are trying to clean up the lakes and rivers. The water is becoming clearer and cleaner, and there are more fish. But there are still chemicals which are dangerous to human health.Isle Royale National Park, an island in Lake Superior, i

54、s very wild. Visitors must travel several hours by boat to get there. The waters of Lake Superior are cold and dangerous. Several ships have hit underwater rocks and sunk. Now divers come to explore them. And people come to explore the islands forests.Visitors, who stay in one of the 36 campgrounds on Isle Royale, are sometimes awakened at night by the plaintive cry of a wolf. These wolves came across the ice-covered lake to the island in th
