26、The Amazon rainforest is now alarmingly close to dying by 2030 due to climate change and forest loss, a WWF report warns.

The world’s largest rainforest is now close to a “tipping point” (临界点) that could mean it changes forever, no longer benefiting humanity in dealing with climate change by soaking up greenhouse gases, the report says.

Deforestation (森林砍伐) in the Amazon reached a record high this year, as illegal trees cutting increased to the highest levels in 15 years. Between 13 to 17 percent of the Amazon rainforest area has already been lost in the past 50 years. The WWF report said an area of 1.4 million square miles of the Amazon has experienced a lack of rain, a constant dry season and deforestation, which could lead it to become degraded, turning to a dry land.

What’s worse, the “tipping points” could lead to irreversible (不可逆的) loss, including receiving less than 1500mm annual rainfall, a dry season of more than 7 months and deforestation of the area to reduce to just 20 percent of the original cover. The loss of the Amazon would further reduce the chances of alleviating (减轻) global warming as the areas’ trees take in enormous amounts of carbon dioxide.

“This paper sounds an alarm bell for humanity, revealing the threats of climate change and forest loss are pushing the world’s largest rainforest at risk,” Professor Gagen, lead author of the WWF report, added. “The evidence gives a serious warning that we need to take the tipping point risk seriously and act immediately to cut emissions (排放), saving natural resources, and, most importantly, change the indifferent attitude to forest loss which are sending people and our planet down a path to disaster.”

“Only by listening to the voices of Amazonia’s peoples and by preserving nature can we bring our world back to life,” Gagen said.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “soaking up” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Absorbing.

B．Adapting.

C．Abandoning.

D．Applying.

【2】Why does the author give several numbers in paragraph 3-4?

A．To show why deforestation happens.

B．To show how big the Amazon rainforest is.

C．To explain how bad the current situation is.

D．To suggest what to do to stop global warming.

【3】According to Gagen, what is the most important factor in dealing with “the tipping point”?

A．Cutting down emissions right away.

B．Saving the Amazon from deforestation.

C．Preventing natural resources going to waste.

D．Change the unconcerned attitude to the problem.

【4】In which column of a website can you probably find the passage?

A．Environment.

B．Health.

C．Technology.

D．Entertainment.

27、Like a tired marriage, the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been dull. E-books, however, are causing heartache. Libraries know they need digital services, but many publishers are too cautious about piracy and lost sales to co-operate. Among the big six publishers, only Random House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries.

Publishers are wise to be nervous. Owners of e-readers are exactly the customers they need: book-lovers with money. If these people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them, what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient. Unlike printed books, which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles away, book files can be downloaded at home. The files disappear from the device when they are due.

E-lending is not simple, however. There are various incompatible e-book formats, devices and licenses. Most libraries use a company called OverDrive, which secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in every format. Yet publishers and libraries are worried by OverDrive’s global market dominance, as the company can control fees and conditions. Publishers were annoyed when OverDrive cooperated with Amazon, the world’s biggest online bookseller, last year. Owners of Amazon’s Kindle e-reader who want to borrow e-books from libraries are now redirected to Amazon’s website.

According to Pew, an opinion researcher, library users are a perfect market for Amazon. Late last year Amazon introduced its Kindle Owners’ Lending Library, which lets its best customers borrow free one of thousands of popular books each month. But a recent Pew survey found that more than half of Americans with library cards say they prefer to buy their e-books. It also noted that e-books actually are available at most libraries, and that popular titles often involve long waiting lists, which may inspire people to buy.

So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in search of the right balance. Random House raised its licensing price earlier this year, and Harper Collins limits libraries to lending its titles 26 times. The story of the library e-book is a nail-biter.

【1】It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that ________.

A．several big publishers have sold e-books to libraries

B．both libraries and publishers caution the e-book piracy

C．some publishers are hesitant to cooperate with libraries

D．libraries are eager to keep strong relationship with publishers

【2】What worries publishers about people’s switch to e-books?

A．The risk of e-book piracy.

B．The possible decline of book sales.

C．No time limit for the downloaded book files.

D．The availability of the incompatible e-book formats.

【3】We can learn from Paragraph 3 and 4 that ________.

A．Amazon is adopting measures to win more customers

B．OverDrive distributes e-books and audio files to publishers

C．over half of Americans are borrowing e-books from libraries

D．the fees of lending e-books are under the control of publishers

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．The Hopeful Future of Publishing Business

B．The Uncertain Economics of Lending E-books

C．The Dull Relationship between Libraries and Publishers

D．The Close Cooperation between OverDrive and Amazon

29、The days of glancing at a map or the screen of your smartphone when you’re lost will soon be over—thanks to new shoes that tell you which way to turn to. The shoes use a Bluetooth link to communicate with your mobile’s mapping system. The mobile works out which route you should be following and the shoes then send out a small vibration (震动) in either foot telling you when and where to change direction.

The shoes will also count the number of steps you’ve taken and the calories you’ve burned and they’ll even buzz to warn you you’ve left your phone behind, or to alert (警示) you when you're travelling past an interesting landmark.

“They are as easy to use as a tap on the shoulder,” said Krispian Lawrence, 30, who developed the shoes with partner Anirudh Sharma, 28, in Hyderabad, India. “You can even communicate with them using hand gestures and finger snaps because the shoes have sensors that can pick up movement and sound.” The Lechal shoes go on sale worldwide in June but Lawrence and Sharma’s company, Ducere Technologies has already taken more than 3,000 pre-orders, Lawrence believes the shoes will also improve road safety. “If I’m on my bike or motorbike, I don’t want to stare at my phone—it’s dangerous.” he says, “I’ rather be guided by my shoes.” He believes his innovation will prove invaluable for the visually impaired and has promised that every mainstream pair sold by Ducere will subsidize (资助) a cheaper pair for a visually impaired person.

Eootnav technology does not impress explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, however, “what’s wrong with a good old-fashioned map?” said the 70-year-old when told of the shoes. “If you rely too heavily on technology, you’re heading for trouble. Too many people have forgotten the basics: how to read a map and a compass.”

【1】Which of the following is NOT the function of smart shoes according to the passage？

A．Warn the loss of priceless things.

B．Count steps and calories.

C．Improve road safety.

D．Guide the road.

【2】Smart shoes can be used as a map because ________.

A．they are linked to smart phones’ mapping system

B．the vibration of our feet can be felt by us

C．a remote control is guiding them

D．people can talk to them

【3】Which of the following best explains “buzz” underlined in Paragraph 2？

A．Appear.

B．Ring.

C．Begin.

D．Sound.

【4】Why does explorer Sir Ranulph hold a negative attitude towards this invention？

A．He doesn’t need it at all.

B．He doesn’t believe the functions of the inventions.

C．He hopes people can still rely on traditional ways.

D．He thinks smart phones will do harm to us.

But you must commit, and you must ________ the money you stole.”

He took the offer.

“Yeah,” I said.
