22、   Over the southern hemisphere’s summer, mercifully now at an end, Australia burned under a pitiless sun. Bush fires down the continent’s eastern part consumed 46 acres of countryside, destroying homes, taking lives and driving rare animals towards extinction. To many Australians, the satellite pictures showing huge amounts of smoke drifting off to the east over the Great Barrier Reef seemed a threat to life in an age of man-made warming.

It turns out that high temperatures were doing great damage under the water as well. This month comes news that exceptionally warm seas have led the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s biggest coral system, to suffer its third mass bleaching in five years. The bush and the reef: Australians almost define themselves by these two ecosystems, which once seemed boundless.

Coral bleaching takes place when sea temperatures rise sharply, causing the coral polyps that make up reefs to spray the algae(海藻) that generate their food via photosynthesis(光合作用).Without the colour algae, coral soon dies, leaving the complex colonies a ghostly white. Reefs can recover from occasional bleachings: the fastest-growing corals regenerate in a decade or so. But mass bleachings on the Great Barrier Reef are becoming ever more frequent. And the run of recent bleachings had already killed off relatively heat-intolerant coral species. What is striking this year is that for the first time the bleaching extended to the southern part of the reef. There, closer to the pole, waters should be cooler. But not this year.

The biblical rains that put out the bush fires have also helped to lower water temperatures over the reef. The rains are proof to climate-change deniers that recent fires, droughts and floods are simply part of the natural cycle. They point with delight to the bush springing back to life. Yet while important habitats depend upon fire to regenerate, this summer’s fires, exceptionally, destroyed temperate rainforests too. Regarding the reef, the deniers play down the damage and insist on the ability of “nature to fix nature”. That is despite the accumulated effect of successive bleachings from which reef struggle to recover.

The bush fires threw the prime minister, Scott Morrison, off balance. Holidaying in Hawaii made him look out if touch, while his Liberal Party’s cosy links to oil, gas, coal and iron-ore interests came under closer inspection. Mr. Morrison’s official “representative” to the Great Barrier Reef, Warren Entsch, a Queenland politician, points out that “bleached corals are not dead corals” and predicts that many will recover. Although he admits climate change is a concern, he once complained that “forcing” youngsters to be worried about it is a form of “child abuse”. Most Australian care both about climate change and about the Great Barrier Reef—but not enough, alas, to call their government out over such ambivalence.

【1】The greatest challenge to the recovery of the Great Barrier Reef is _______.

A.climate change B.bush fires

C.heavy smoke D.high temperatures

【2】The underlined expression “play down” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.

A.mention lightly B.think highly of

C.criticize fiercely D.take seriously

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.The government is confident that nature will recover itself.

B.The government lays more emphasis onchild abuse.

C.The government calls on the public tocare about climate change.

D.The government admits climate change ishigh on the agenda.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Australia On Fire B.Life Under Threat

C.Forest Fires Under Control D.Great Barrier Reef In Hot Water

23、   If you are travelling from one of London’s international airports to central London, don’t take taxi unless you are very rich! The minimum (最小的) fare from Heathrow, the airport nearest to central London, is about $25. If you are travelling in a group of four people and each of you has a lot of luggage, you may feel that it would be worth paying for a taxi.

If you simply want to cross London from one railway station to another or from a station to your hotel, then a taxi may be a good idea. Although taxis may seem quite expensive, they make life a lot easier if you have a lot of luggage, or if you are not confident about finding your way around the Underground system. Here are some useful facts about using taxis:

★ Licensed (有许可证的) taxis are large, and usually black, vehicles with a small white plate (牌照) on the back showing a license number and the words Hackney Carriages.

★ The best place to find a taxi is at a railway station. Follow the signs for taxi and you will find what is called a taxi rank (a place in the road where a taxi can stop). Another good place to find a taxi is near a large hotel.

★ If you are not at a station, you will have to stand in the street and wait for one to go past. Look for a taxi which has an orange light lit up over the driver’s window — this means that it is not being used by anyone else.

★ When the taxi is quite close, raise your arm and wave the driver down. The taxi should stop for you.

★ When you pay, it is usual to give the driver a tip of at least 10%.

【1】What does the author say about the taxi in London?

A.It is hard to catch a taxi at the airport.

B.It is a good choice to cross London.

C.Its service is far from satisfactory.

D.Its fare is not very high.

A.They are small.

B.They are all orange.

C.They have red plates.

D.Their plates are on the back.

【3】Where can you find a taxi easily according to the author?

A.A bus stop.

B.A small hotel.

C.A large shopping centre.

D.A taxi rank near a railway station.

【4】What should you take note of if you want to stop a taxi?

A.Whether its light is on.

B.Whether the driver is waving.

C.Whether it is a white licensed taxi.

D.Whether the taxi stops at the right place.

【5】If your taxi fare is $30, how much should you give the tip to the driver at least?

A.$2. B.$3.

C.$4. D.$5.
