17、Ecosystems are all different but this percentage is considered as a good measure of safety.A study published in the magazine Science suggests that 58% of the worlds land surface (26) _ (reduce) below this level already. These areas house 71% of the global population. Professor Andy Purvis, from Impe

23、gy, Chinas pen manufacturers, which produce 38 billion ballpoint pens per year, have had to purchase the _33_ parts from overseas markets, costing the industry $17.3 million a year, according to the China National Light Industry Council.“It will be one of our _34_ products in the long run, and we wi

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Throughout history,
29、 many lives have been lost at the hands of severe weather. Meteorologists (气象学家) and scientists alike are always investigating new ways to increase the warning time for storms, with the hope of reducing the _41_ of lives. In the past few decades, local weather radar advancements have been made, whic
30、h allow for better accuracy in _42_ the paths of storms.Meteorologists and scientists have been able to successfully track severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes by using an advanced tracking system called NEXRAD (Next-Generation Radar). NEXRAD is a tracking network _43_ 158 Doppler weather rad
31、ars. And during a storm this high-resolution computerized _44_ takes readings on the amount of precipitation (降水) in the air, the movements in the clouds, and the wind speeds.These _45_ are bounced back to a local weather computer, and a colorful image appears on the screen, giving meteorologists a
32、clear picture of what kind of weather is on the horizon. This final image is what you see when the meteorologist breaks in with severe weather reports and warnings. _46_, on your television screen you will see a computer animated image of the approaching storm. If the storm is severe enough, then th
33、e National Weather Service (NWS) will _47_ severe weather reports of severe thunderstorm warnings for your area. _48_, the storm captured on the radar will have produced strong readable winds, detectable lightning, and some hail (冰雹). Paying attention to the weather map is _49_ when severe weather i
34、s around.On the television screen you will see several colors on the precipitation map, _50_ from blue (the lightest) to black (the heaviest). If the colors for your _51_ area are yellow, take caution. If the colors range between orange and red, take cover immediately, as damaging winds and dangerou
35、s lightning have been reported.When local weather radar in Atlanta, Georgia reported high winds, _52_ wind patterns and large hail earlier this year, the National Weather Service issued a tornado _53_. Meteorologists in the area used the collected data to predict what path the storm would take, _54_
36、 which areas needed to be warned.Thanks to this technology, most residents received the severe weather reports early enough to seek _55_ before the storm hit. Paying attention to your local weather source during severe weather plays a vital role in your safety.41.A. lossB. increaseC. protectionD. va

40、 that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In this section we consider what you can do to train your brain to improve your game playing skills.1. Daily workoutIt is very easy to find tactical puzzles and train. However, you must try to solve them. Dont ju
41、st stare at the position for 10 seconds and then turn to the solution. You wont learn anything. Have a go at trying to solve the puzzle. If you got it right then great - well done. However, if you got it wrong, then have another look. Ask yourself questions such as the following:l Why did I get it w
42、rongl What was wrong with my solutionl What was the weakness that the tactic exploitedWhere can you find tactical puzzlesIts easy. They are everywhere. Many newspapers, including Independent, and magazines have a daily or weekly chess puzzle. Key “chess puzzles” into Google and youll find a whole lo
43、ad of them. There are plenty of puzzle books.2. Use software Nowadays chess software is terribly cheap. World Champion Vladimir Kramnik recently lost a match 4 2 against a software program. This program is available for about 30. In general, people use chess software for the wrong reasons. They ofte
44、n play game after game against the machine and get beaten every time. Bored with this, they turn the playing level right down so that the program is almost playing random moves and then they can beat it every time and feel better. Neither method will help you improve. However, chess software can be
45、a fantastically useful learning tool if used in two particular ways. The first is if you have tried to solve a puzzle but its a bit too difficult and you dont really understand the solution. Never mind - well done for trying. Now set the position up on the program and try different moves. Chess soft
46、ware is faultless at tactical play. It will instantly tell you the right and wrong moves and why they do or dont work. Secondly you can run over games you have played to learn where you have gone wrong and where you could have improved. Get into the habit of keeping the score (i.e. writing down the
47、moves) of games that you play. This will help you to improve and refine your understanding of tactical themes and patterns.56. What would be the best title of this passage A. How to Train Your BrainB. Where to Find Tactical Puzzles C. Daily Workout and Use of Software D. How to Improve Your Chess-Playing Skills 57. The underlined part “tactical puzzles” in the second paragraph most probably means _. A. puzzles making us better understand themes and patterns of difficult games B.
