• 12．El Nino，a Spanish term for "the Christ child"，was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern，which happens every two to seven years，reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas.El Nino sees warm water，collected over several years in the western Pacific，flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken，or sometimes the other way round.
     The weather effects，both good and bad，are felt in many places.Rich countries gain more from powerful Nino，on balance，than they lose.A study found that a strong Nino in 1997-98 helped American's economy grow by ﹩15 billion，partly because of better agricultural harvest：farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain.The total rise in agricultural incomes in rich countries in growth is greater than the fall in poor ones.
     But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames.A multi-year drought in south-east Brazil is becoming worse.Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California，they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.
     The most recent powerful Nino，in 1997-98，killed around 21，000 people and caused damage worth ﹩36 billion around the globe.But such Ninos come with months of warning，and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare.According to the Overseas Development Institute（ODI），however，just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance，rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards.This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.
     Simple improvements to infrastructure（基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施）can reduce the spread of disease.Better sewers make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach.Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods.According to a paper in 2011 by Mr.Hsiang and co-authors，civil conflict is related to El Nino's harmful effects - and the poorer the country，the stronger the link.Though the relationship may not be causal，helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people.Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino，reducing their losses needs to be the priority.
  
  （1）What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1？

  
  A．It is named after a South American fisherman.
  B．It takes place almost every year all over the world.
  C．It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.
  D．It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.
  （2）The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that

  .
  A．more investment should go to risk reduction
  B．governments of poor countries need more aid
  C．victims of El Nino deserve more compensation
  D．recovery and reconstruction should come first
  （3）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？

  
  A．To introduce El Nino and its origin.
  B．To explain the consequences of El Nino.
  C．To show ways of fighting against El Nino.
  D．To urge people to prepare for El Nino.

• 13．The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our food supply continue to occur，largely because of the extreme difficulty in attaching legal responsibility to those who continue to treat our environment with careless abandon（放任）.Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation，economic encouragement and friendly persuasion have been met by lawsuits，personal and industrial denial and long delays--not only in accepting responsibility，but more importantly，in doing something about it.
     It seems that only when government decides it can afford tax encouragement or production sacrifices is there any initiative for change.Where is industry's and our recognition that protecting mankind's great treasure is the single most important responsibility？If ever there will be time for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to solve environmental problems，that time is now.
     We are being asked，and，in fact，the public is demanding that we take positive action.It is our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the difference.Yes，the ecologists，the environmental activists and the conservationists serve to communicate，stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change.However，it is those of us who are paid to make the decisions to develop，improve and enforce environmental standards，I submit，who must lead the charge.
     We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at city limits，county lines，state or even federal boundaries.We can no longer afford to be tunnel-visioned in our approach.We must visualize issues from every perspective to make the objective decisions.We must express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion.
     I believe we have a three-part mission for the present.First，we must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves.Second，we must investigate and understand the link between environment and health.Third，we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand.If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade，maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation，and not merely hold it back.We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on bandages.
  
  （1）We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because

  .
  A．they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doing
  B．they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interests
  C．time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on it
  D．it is difficult for them to take effective measures
  （2）Which of the following，according to the author，should play the leading role in the solution of environmental problems？

  
  A．Legislation and government intervention.
  B．The industry's understanding and support.
  C．The efforts of environmental health professionals.
  D．The cooperation of ecologists，environmental activists and conservationists.
  （3）The underlined word "tunnel-visioned" in Paragraph 4 most probably means

  .
  A．narrow-minded
  B．blind to the facts
  C．short-sighted
  D．a(chǎn)ble to see only one aspect
  （4）Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph？

  
  A．Efforts should be exerted on remedial measures on pollution.
  B．More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.
  C．Ordinary citizens hardly have any idea of technical information on pollution.
  D．Environmental degradation will be stopped by the end of this decade.

第二節(jié) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。（共1小題；每小題10分，滿分10分）

• 14．It's not always easy to run an energy-efficient house.But there are some simple things anyone can do.
  Go LED with your lighting
     There are several benefits to switching to energy-efficient light bulbs.One of them is saving money - though the LED bulbs might cost more than traditional bulbs，the average saving on LED bulbs is ﹩ 75 a year.（1）

  LED bulbs can last years or even decades.
  Don't run your air conditioner constantly
     As the weather starts to warm，you might be thinking about the right time to turn on your air conditioner.（2）

  Air conditioner units are among the most energy-consuming appliances in your home.Using electrical fans instead of your air conditioner is much more efficient and it's a big money saver，too.
  （3）

  
     On those days when you treat a large crowd and are low on time，don't beat yourself up if you have to use disposable dishware.This method reduces your water usage and saves energy.And as a bonus，if your city offers roadside recycling，your paper plates may qualify.
  Update your insulation（隔熱）
     All that work you're doing to save energy in your home could go to waste if it's not properly insulated.If you can't insulate the whole house，pay special attention to the roof：it reduces air flow from outside.By updating your insulation，you're saving money. （4）

  
  Take showers instead of baths
     A full bathtub requires about 70 gallons of water.（5）

  Showers are quite different - taking a five-minute shower uses only 10 to 25 gallons!
  
  A.Turn off water when not using it.
  B.But do you really have to？
  C.Plus，you needn't change them frequently.
  D.Don't feel guilty about using paper plates.
  E.And it's also easier to control your home temperature.
  F.You should use your air conditioner smartly.
  G.Even if you don't fill it to the top，it still uses much more water.
