The Dead Sea, a salt lake close to Israel, Jordan and the West Bank, is shrinking at an

11、alarming rateabout 3.3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East.“Its not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea; its more like the whole region,” said photographer Moritz Kstner, who visited the area in February to work on his series “The Dying Dead Sea”.T

12、he Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, the courses of some water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.Mineral

13、 extraction(提取) industries are another main reason why the water levels are declining, experts say. The Dead Seas minerals have been popular for their medical power and can often be found in cosmetics(化妆品) and other consumer products.And then, of course, theres the Middle Easts hot, dry climate, whi

14、ch makes it difficult for the lake to refill itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to stabilize the Dead Seas water levels. It involves building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also

15、to pump much needed watersome 300 million cubic meters annuallyinto the Dead Sea.“This is the most important and significant agreement since the peace treaty with Jordan (in 1994),” said Silvan Shalom, Israels energy and water resources minister at the time. Whether the canalestimated to take three

16、years to completewill work out positively and as planned remains to be seen.For now, Kstner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters.1、How many reasons for the Dead Seas shrinking does the author men

Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of peopl

20、e who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. 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 explain why a new book b

21、y Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are similar to those of so

22、me Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse 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 i

23、n Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion 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 ma

24、gazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for unexamined 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

25、inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People 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.1、 According to the

26、 passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?APeople who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.BPeople who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.CPeople who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.DPeople who spread comforting news to protect our environment.2、Whic

27、h of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborgs books?ASome big businesses intend to protect their own interests. B The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.CThe author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews.DIndustryfunded media present confusing informa

28、tion.3、The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_.Avoice a different opinionBfind fault with Lomborgs book Cchallenge the authority of the mediaDpoint out the value of scientific views.4、What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?ATo encourage the skeptics to have a critical

29、 eye.BTo warn the public of the danger of halfblindness with reviews.CTo blame the medias lack of responsibility in presenting information.DTo show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.23（8分） Driverless technology will soon enter another major global industry: shipping.
