The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization(UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a group of devoted（献身的） men and women is every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes. More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A mon proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more plex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve mon problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary e back form time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands. Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.21. According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time ? A. By solving the cost problems B. By solving the transportation problems C. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO. D. By setting up a group of devoted people in every country.22.What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence ? A. Teaching skills is essential B. Learning to fish is helpful C. Providing food is vital D. Looking after others is important.23.The second paragraph is developed mainly _. A.by process B. by example C. by parison D. by contrast24.What can we infer about international aid from the passage ? A.It is unnecessary during normal times B. It is facing difficulties. C. It should be given in the form of materials D. It has gained support from developed countriesBTHE BEST SHOPPING IN SYDNEYSydney is one of the worlds biggest cities and has something for everyone when it es to shopping.

From that moment on，“the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course，”she recalls.The show business thing worked out，of course. In her career，Mary won many awards. Only recently，when she began to write Growing Up Again，did she regret ignoring her mom. “I dont know how to use a puter，”she admits.Unlike her 1995 autobiography，after all，her second book is less about life as an awardwinning actress and more about living with diabetes(糖尿病)All the money from the book is used for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)，an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this，”she says. “I didnt want to lecture，but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when were self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”But she hasnt always practiced what she teaches. In her book，she describes that awful day，almost 40 years ago，when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First，she had lost the baby she was carrying and second，tests（化验）showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act，she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈)Years would pass before she realized she had to grow upagainand take control of her diabetes，not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit，overe her addiction to alcohol，and begin to follow a balanced diet.Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor，she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask，why me？about something or other，”she insists. “It doesnt do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache pain，and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. Ive e to realize the importance of that as Ive grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”29. Why did Mary feel regretful? A. She didnt achieve her ambition. B. She didnt follow her mothers advice.C. She didnt plete her high school. D.

Mary determines to go back to the dance floorDScientists have found what look like caves on Mars(火星), and say they could be protecting life from the planets terrible environment.The first caves discovered beyond the Earth appear as seven mysterious black dots on the pictures sent back by NASAs Mars Odyssey orbiter. Each as large as a football field, they may be openings into natural caves below the Martian surface.“If there is life on Mars, there is a good chance youd find it in caves,” said Jut Wynne, one of the researchers who noticed the features while working on a US Geological Survey Mars Cave Detection Program.Jonathan Clarke, a geologist with the Mars Society of Australia, yesterday described the discovery as exciting.One photo taken at night by an infrared imager(红外线成像器) showed one hole to be unusually warm, suggesting hot air trapped during the day is flowing out.“I said: Wow, thats a cave. ” Dr. Clarke said excitedly. “People have been looking for these for a long time; now we have found them.”He agreed such caves would be perfect places to hunt for life escaping from the bitterly cold, radiation-soaked(充满辐射的),dry surface.“Tiny drops of water could collect inside,” he said. “If there are gases ing out, they could provide energy for a whole range of bacteria. A cave is also a protection from radiation; the surface of Mars is exposed to high levels of space radiation.The caves probably formed when tube-shaped lava flows(管状岩浆流) spread across the planet long ago. The outside of the tubes cooled, forming solid walls, while something hotter inside allowed the remaining lava to flow out, forming caves.”33. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How the caves were formed on Mars.B. How scientists found these caves on Mars.C. Scientists have pletely recognized the surface of Mars.D. Caves on Mars may be full of hot air or a sign of life.34.

More than one-third are in such bad shape that they could die within ten years. 36 Here are the three main causes discovered. The first cause is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into rivers and streams, which carry the poisons into the ocean. 37 So they will be easily infected(感染) with diseases. 38 Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source(来源) for the coralthe algae, the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral. 39 This process has happened more and more frequently in recent years.The last factor contributing to the disappearance of coral reefs is people.
