5、回答題
What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may well be global warming.When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物) are released; thesepollutants trap heat in the earth's atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand andalso create more water by melting glaciers (冰川) and polar (極地的) ice caps.
If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer, Bangladesh, for example,might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral (珊瑚) island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati andthe Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate -- they would be swallowed bythe sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyone's loss. Coral formations are home tomore species than any other place on earth.
The people of these nations feel frustrated. The sea, on which their economies have alwaysbeen based, is suddenly threatening their existence. They don't have the money for expensivetechnological solutions like seawalls. And they have no control over the pollutants, which arebeing released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries. All they can do is to hopethat industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.
The people of Kiribati worry that one day their country will be taken away by a sudden high tide.

第三篇
We know that there is air all around the world. We could not breathe without air. Airplanes could not fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air. What is the sky? The sky is space. In this space there is nothing except the sun, the moon and all the stars.
Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space. They have looked at them through telescopes and in this way they have found out a great deal.
The moon is about 384, 000 kilometers away from the earth.. An airplane cannot fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket.
I am sure that you are asking. "How does a rocket fly? " If you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up until it is quite big. Do not tie up the neck of the balloon. Let go!
The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly. The air inside the balloon tries to get out.
It rushes out through neck of the ball and this pushes the balloon through the air. It does not need wings like an airplane.
This is how a rocket works. It is not made of rubber like a balloon, of course. It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air.
Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon. Several rockets, without men inside them, have been sent to other worlds much farther away.
One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space.
What color is the sky?___________.
A．It is blue.
B．It is white..
C．It is grey.
D．It has no color.
9、 Our statistics show that we consume allthat we are capable of producing.
A．waste
B．buy
C．use
D．sell

Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults. Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills or job training, find out about new technological developments, seek better self understanding, or develop new talents and skills.
2. This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries, correspondence courses, or broadcasting. It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs and professional associations.
3. Modem adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution. Great economic and social changes were taking
place: people were moving from rural areas to cities; new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system. These and other factors produced a need for further education and re-education of adults.
4. The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the founding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics' institution in Glasgow.
Benjamin Franklin and some friends found the earliest adult education institution in the U. S. in Philadelphia in 1727.
5. People recognize that continued/earning is necessary for most forms of employment today.
For example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs. Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other need.

The Threat to Kiribati
The people of Kiribati are afraid that one day in the not-too-distant future, their countrywill disappear from the face of the earth literally. Several times this year, the Pacific islandnation has been flooded by a sudden high tide. These tides, which swept across the island anddestroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nor rain. "This never happened before,"say the older citizens of Kiribati.What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may well be global warming.When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物) are released; thesepollutants trap heat in the earth's atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand andalso create more water by melting glaciers (冰川) and polar (極地的) ice caps.
If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer, Bangladesh, for example,might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral (珊瑚) island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati andthe Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate -- they would be swallowed bythe sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyone's loss. Coral formations are home tomore species than any other place on earth.

On the Trial of the Honey Badger
On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert, a team of researchers learn a lot more abouthoney badgers. The team employed a local wildlife expert Kitso Khama to help them locate andfollow the badgers across the desert. Their main aim was to study the badgers' movements andbehavior as discreetly (謹慎地) as possible without frightening them away or causing them tochange their natural behavior. They also planned to trap a few and study them close up beforereleasing them in view of the animal's reputation; this was something that even Khama wasreluctant to do.
"The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals, especially whenthey see something new," he says. "That, combined with their unpredictable nature, can be adangerous mixture. If they sense you have food, for example, they won't be shy about comingright up to you for something to eat. They're actually quite sociable creatures around humans,but as soon as they feel they might be in danger, they can become extremely vicious (兇惡的). Fortunately this is rare, but it does happen. "
The research confirmed many things that were already known. As expected, honey badgersate any creatures they could catch and kill. Even poisonous snakes, feared and avoided by mostother animals, were not safe from them. The researchers were surprised, however, by theanimal's fondness for local melons, probably because of their high water content. Preciouslyresearchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey (獵物). Theteam also learnt that, contrary to previous research findings, the badgers occasionally formedloose family groups. They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research,including the fact that female badgers never socialized with each other.
Following some of the male badgers was a challenge, since they can cover large distancesin a short space of time. Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers.Although they seem happy to share these territories with other males, there are occasional fightsover an important food source, and male badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as theyare towards other species.
As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people, it gave the team the chanceto get up close to them without being the subject of the animal's curiosity--or suddenaggression. The badgers' eating patterns, which had been disrupted, to normal. It also allowedthe team to observe more closely some of the other creatures that form working associations withthe honey badger, as these seemed to badgers' relaxed attitude when near humans.

Something about the Sky
If someone asked you. "What color is the sky?" I expect that you would answer, "Blue. "I am afraid that you would be wrong. The sky has no color. When we see blue, we are looking at blue sunlight.

They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air. What is the sky?
