17、rresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFor generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in ai
18、r currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice.But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakers can no longer use those sighs to ma
19、ke their predictions. And they dont have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (气象学家).“Climate change has come on so fast. People dont know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle t
20、he new conditions. We need new strategies to handle climate change.”Now a British-Canadian project si doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to commu
21、nities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation.Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “ I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,” says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder invol
22、ved in the project.The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,” says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi.“Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Profes
23、sor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project.36.

24、ive way to deliver messages.B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change.C. They cannot get financial support from the local government.D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing.38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their
25、cooperationA. Satisfied B.Confused C. Hopeful D.Regretful39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passageA. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems.B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature.C. New technologies hav
26、e replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya.D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction projectPassage TwoAfter taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave (产假) earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to
27、 be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she didt have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office.“If Id had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to wor
28、k,” says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born.Shes not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analyst Jon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of
29、 his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks.“I had pressure to take that leave,” recalls West, “People told me, its an important part of your life and you need to experience it.”“No matter how quiet the baby is, its an obvious distraction (分心的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief
30、 executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film.No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldnt matter to Mickey McManus, Mayas CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode.As part of its balancing act, Maya
31、shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment.

A Company Taking Care of Young ParentsPassage ThreeHarry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harrys famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recogni
35、zable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists.Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish.Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls
36、 are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appe
37、ar much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia.Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially whe
38、n food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both genders will also perform an “injured bird” act to tempt animal invaders to go away from the nest.Reproduction: Snowy owls may incubat
39、e (孵卵) 3-10 eggs for 30-34 days, or the incubation may be done primarily by the freak. The baby owls remain in the nest for 14-21 days and will attempt their first flight when they are 42-58 days old. Mated pairs will raise one group of young birds per year unless food supplies are inadequate and th
40、en no eggs may be produced.44、What have you learned from Paragraph 1A. Harry Potter fans like snowy owlsB. Hedwig is one of the snowy owl watchersC.

They will be less active at night D. They will only hunt during he day Passage FourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither
43、 mans admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although n
44、either one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, whi
45、ch made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life Crosbys music was soothing( 令人安逸的) , Presleys was disturb
46、ing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbance they could handle in their private lives, they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosbys admires always said how “relaxed” and “natural” he was. When Presley began his career, the whole
47、country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of trouble times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley was load and vulgar( 粗俗的) and be was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political sit
