One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.The reporter was talking to them about being important.“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President is really important.”The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. Youd only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President said he was too busy to answer it.”The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”“No, I dont.” he said. “I dont think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, its for you.”（1）This story happened in _.A .

In the past 50 years, the number of water with zero oxygen(氧气) in the open ocean has increased more than four times. In the near coast water bodies, including the river mouth and seas, low-oxygen areas have increased more than 10 times since 1950.Scientists discover that oxygen continues dropping ever outside these zones as the Earth warms. To stop the drop, the world needs to control in both climate change and nutrient(养分) pollution.Oxygen is a must to life in the oceans. The drop in ocean oxygen is among the most serious effects of human activities on the Earths environment.This is the first time for the scientists to take such a deep look at the causes, results and solutions to low oxygen worldwide, in both the open ocean and the near coast waters. About half of the oxygen on Earth comes from the ocean. However, mixed effects of nutrient loading and climate change are greatly increasing the number and size of dead zones in the open ocean and the near coast waters, where oxygen is too low to support most sea life.In the areas traditionally called dead zones, like those in Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, oxygen drops to levels so low that many animals have trouble in breathing and die. As fishes run away from these zones, their living areas become smaller and smaller. But the problem goes far beyond dead zones. Even smaller oxygen drops can hold up the growth in animals and lead to disease or even death. Low oxygen also can cause the release of dangerous chemicals. Although a few animals can grow well in dead zones, overall biodiversity(多样性)falls.（1）How to stop the drop of ocean oxygen in the article? A . By controlling in both climate change and nutrient pollution around the world.B . By taking a deep look at the causes, results and solutions to low oxygen worldwide.C . By running away from these zones, for the living areas become smaller and smaller.D . By cutting down the number of animals in the oceans.（2）Why are these waters called dead zones from the article? A . Because the oxygen in these areas is too low for most sea life to live.B . Because nutrient loading and climate change are greatly increasing.C . Because there are no animals living in these areas.D . Because low oxygen also can cause the release of dangerous chemicals.（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article? A . Only a few animals living in the sea need oxygen.B . Climate change can help cut down the dead zones.C . Fishes grow faster and better in low oxygen areas.D . Human activities have many serious effects on ocean environment.三、 词汇运用 (共2题；共20分)6. （10分）阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。When I was a little girl, I was very shy and unconfident.
