LONDON ( Reuters)-- Ecotourism ( 生态旅游) is causing a lot of damage to wildlife and may be endangering the survival(生存) of the very animals people are flocking to see, according to researchers.
Biologists and conservationists ( 自然环境保护论者) are worried because polar bears, dolphins, penguins and other creatures are getting stressed and losing weight and some are dying.
"Evidence is growing that many animals do not react well to tourists in their backyard,” New Scientist magazine said.
The immediate effects researchers have noticed are changes in behavior, heart rates, or stress hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term "could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see".
Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 10--30 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living in rural areas, the Swiss-based World Conservation Union and some governments fear not all projects are audited (审计) and based on environmentally friendly policies, according to the magazine,
"The transmission(传播) of disease to wildlife, or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding ,"said Philip Seddon, of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously excited when tourist boats arrive. Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.
Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully. They also want studies done before new ecotourism projects are started.
“The animals’ welfare should be very important because without them there will be no ecotourism,”said Rochelle Constantine of the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
56. What's the text mainly about?
A. Many animals are dying because of lack of money.
B. There will be no ecotourism without animals.
C. Ecotourism could endanger the survival of the wildlife people want to see.
D. More research should be done on ecotourism.
57. We may learn from the text that __
A. ecotourism must be developed properly
B. polar bears are losing weight without enough food
C. all the poor countries have stopped ecotourism
D. money produced through ecotourism should be spent on wildlife
58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Many animals do not react well in their backyard..
B. Polar bears in areas visited by ecotourists are producing smaller babies.
C. Ecotourism has been growing at about 10--30 percent a year.
D. Studies should be done before new ecotourism projects are started.
59. What Rochelle Constantine said in the last paragraph implies that __
A. if people want to get high income, they must develop ecotourism
B. animals have rights to live their own life
C. animals are people’s good friends
D. people should take good care of wildlile

Sweden's pop phenomenon, which started with ABBA in the seventies, has exploded into a large industry ranging from CD sales to concert tours. But homegrown bands and CD makers are only a part of the success. World stars are beating a path to Sweden's music producers whose studios and songwriters lie behind many an American and British success.
Denis Pop--- one of the greatest Swedish pop producers --- put Sweden on the map, writing and producing hit after hit for stars as the Backstreet Boys, Boll Jovi and Britney Spears. French-Canadian Celine Dion, American Boyband 98 Degrees and American singer Jennifel Lopez turn to Sweden for songs composed by music writer and producer Arnthor Birgison.
All this has made Sweden the world's third biggest exporter of music But how did Sweden manage to spread its sound all over the globe?
Birgison, 25, believes the traditional Swedish approach to hard work and an unfriendly climate are key to the music sensation (轰动). Besides, Swedes are also very good at speaking English, which is very. important, because very little music sung in other languages succeeds anywhere outside its home country. Another piece in the puzzle is that Swedish children at an early stage get to try out musical instruments and learn music theory in school, at little cost to
their parents.
64. We can learn from the above passage that ______ .
A. Sweden exports tile largest amount of music to the outside world
B. Swedish musical training theory is puzzling to kids of early ages
C. Swedish musicians have made great contribution to world music
D. most of the western singers' success bases on the work of the Swedish artists
65. What does "ABBA' in the opening paragraph most probably refer to?
A. ,a music group. B. A successful industrialist.
C. A CD maker. D. A music producer.
66. Which of the following leads to the success of Swedish music and musicians?
A. The artists' hard work. B. Poor weather conditions.
C. The musical training system. D. All of the above.
67. If the Swedish musical artists couldn't speak good English,____.
A. they wouldn't be able to learn the up-to-date music theories
B. the Swedish music wouldn't have been so internationally successful
C. they would have difficulty in communicating with foreign singers
D. they wouldn't have children start to learn music at an early age
D
Across the globe, single parent homes are on the rise. In the US, the 2000 census (人口普查) showed 24.8 million, or nearly 24 percent of the nation's 105.5 million households, were traditional two-parent homes. By comparison, 9.8 million households, or 9 percent of all US households were headed by an adult raising a child alone. The 1990 census showed 26 percent of homes were led by a married mother and father, and 8 percent of homes were led by a single parent.
Similar increases occurred in other countries. In the UK, lone-parent homes increased from 3.3 percent in 1990 to 5.5 percent in 1999. Single parent households in Australia rose from 5.8 percent in 1990 to 7.6 percent in 1999. Belgium saw the increase from 1.8 percent lo 2.7 percent during the same period of time. These countries tend to have greater acceptance of the single parent because there are fewer nearby family members to disapprove, Riche, a Census Bureau director, said.
Just as in the US, those changes raised new questions about how involved government should be. in helping single parent families. Some research suggests children raised in two-parent families are better off than those who depend on one. "The position of one-parent families in any country is very much a gender (性别 ) issue -- women's opportunities, especially working-class women on low income," said Sue Cohen, coordinator ( 协调员) of the Single Action Parents Network in England~
68. Not considering the exact number of the single-parent families, which country saw the fastest rise rate in 1999, compared with 19907
A. UK. B. Australia C. America. D. Belgium.
69. What is the cause of the rise of single parent families across the globe?
A. The nearby family members have a favourable opinion.
B. A lone parent is well off enough lo support his/her children
C. A lot of problems have arisen in two-parent families.
D. We cannot get enough proving information from the text.
70. Which of the following is TRUE about the increase of single parent families according to the passage?
A. It will somewhat limit the growing population of younger generation.
B. Governments should take actions about the social problems brought about by it.
C. Single parent families are not looked down upon in any country mentioned here.
D. Generally speaking, the single parents needn't worry since they are. highly paid.
71. Which of the following diagrams correctly shows the rise of single parent families in the US from 1990 to 2000?
E
Michael, a normal American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn't talk to any other human beings, and he doesn't see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from communicating with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access (通路) to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their job at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they're dealing with. Also, the way employees are paid will change. Workers' salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts ( 帐户 ), making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines
to put in or take out money from their accounts.
Another area in which technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.
72. The underlined sentence, in the first paragraph means "______".
A. Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true
B. Michael is not a real person but the life style does exist
C. Michael has ambitions but he can't make his dreams come true
D. Michael is a person full of imagination and his life style is common nowadays
73. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Clerks will be able to work at home.
B. One can play baseball on the computer.
C. One can listen to music without disturbing others.
D. One can borrow books from libraries at home.
74. What does the author discuss in the last paragraph ?
A. Technology is changing ways of entertainment.
B. How to see a movie at home.
C. People will never go to the concert in the future.
D. How to borrow videotapes at home.
75. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work at home.

Bicycle or car
Bicycles and cars are both important vehicles. The car is fast and the bicycle can be easily parked.
Bicycle or car, which do you prefer? The Americans and the Chinese usually have different choices. The Americans prefer the car because they have been brought up together with the car. They go everywhere by car. But we Chinese like bicycles better. First of all, it is very cheap, which is very important to people in a developing country. Secondly, it is much smaller than the car, therefore, it is easier to find a place to park it . And thirdly, it doesn’t make any pollution, so it is good to our environment.
