Pollution-sensitive Dress Dont be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly.

Blake announced the important position of the imagination over the rationalism（理性主义）and materialism of the 18th century. Blake was born in London and his father was a successful London businessman who encouraged Blakes artistic talents. Blake was first educated at home, chiefly by his mother. At 14, Blake followed his fathers wish and was apprenticed (当学徒) for seven years to the engraver James Basire. Gothic art and architecture influenced him deeply. Blakes first book of poems, Poetical Sketches, appeared in 1783 and was followed by Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience. His most famous poem The Tiger was part of his Songs of Experience. In these works the world was seen from a childs point of view, but they also functioned as parables of adult experience. In the Prophetic Books, Blake expressed his lifelong concern with the struggle of the soul to free its natural energies from organized religion. Blake engraved and published most of his major works himself. Blake never escaped his economic poverty, which was largely due to his inability to pete in the highly petitive field of engraving. He also spent a lot on his invention a device enabling a person to design illustrations and print words at the same time. However, he remained independent throughout his life and didnt leave any economic burden to his family after his death. On August 12, 1827, he was buried in an unmarked grave in a public cemetery. Generally regarded as strange, misunderstanding shadowed his career as a writer and artist during his lifetime.

Because he didnt know how to sell his books. B. Because of the very fierce petition in the field of engraving. C. Because he spent a lot of money on his invention. D. Both B and C.27.

Blakes contribution to English literature was not recognized when he was alive D. not knowing how to deal with business, Blake left his family with a lot of debts C NEW YORK (Reuters) Global warming has cut about $5 billion worth of value from the worlds most monly grown grains over 20 years, according to a new study. Warming temperatures from 1981 to xx cut the bined production of wheat, corn and other crops by 40 million tons per year. “Contrary to what most people think, this study shows that warming over the past two decades has already affected global food supply. The effect is not a faraway thing,” said Christopher Field, a co-author on the study, the first to estimate how much global food production has already been affected by climate change. Not every scientist agrees that agriculture is suffering from warmer temperatures. A UN report said warming is expected to turn the planet a bit greener by encouraging plant growth, but crops and forests may wilt beyond mid-century if temperatures keep rising. Average global production for several of the crops suffered from warmer temperatures, with production dropping by about 3-5% for every 1F increase, the study said. Average global temperatures increased by about 0.7F during the study period, with even larger changes in several regions. “If the past is an indication, agriculture will also suffer going forward,” Field said. “We expect future warming to continue to be a drag on grain production, like driving with the parking brake engaged.” The study said the cereal crops hit by global warming account for 55% of non-meat categories consumed by humans and they also contribute more than 70% of the worlds animal feed. “Farmers can adapt to warmer temperatures by changing crop planting times, the varieties they grow, or the locations used for each crop,” Field said. “In the past farmers have been very adaptable to environmental challenges, but adaptation to warming can take years.”28. It is monly thought that global warming _. A. will have a bad effect on human beings present life B. is something that will just affect the future C. is being more and more serious D. will soon lead to great decrease in food supply 29. The underlined word “wilt” in the third paragraph probably means “_”. A. increase B. grow taller C. stay the same D. grow badly 30. With global warming occurring, farmers _. A. will have no way to protect their interests B. should learn to adapt to environmental challenges C. need time to fight against it successfully D. will give up the crops they have been growing for years31. This passage mainly tells us that _. A. the future food supply will change with global warming B. global warming reduces global food production C. traditional agriculture will disappear due to global warming D. global warming prevents the growth of plants and grains DEven in challenging economic times, making sure that study abroad is part of our college students education is an important investment (投资). If we want a new generation of leaders who can be productive in an ever more globalized world, sending our students overseas is not a luxury (奢侈). Its a necessity.Learning in a different culture and place allows us to see our own challenges as we observe smart people in other lands dealing with similar problems.American college students understand the value of study abroad. Four out of every five first-year students expect to study overseas. But at any given time, only about 2% of students are able to. Educators are especially concerned that the lack of chance for students from poor socioeconomic backgrounds will cause a “global divide” between students whove benefited from a global education and those who havent. And students for whom foreign travel is not easily affordable are the ones who benefit most from the experience. As a society, we can help improve the education of our younger generation, and brighten their futures, by making this experience more available.Is now the time to use valuable public money to send college kids overseas? Of course. Our world is one big, rapidly developing marketplace. Employers long for graduates who are multilingual (使用多种语言的) and fortable in multicultural settings. Study abroad sharpens these skills and helps keep American workers petitive.Americans who want our next generation to be hands-on with the world working with international partners against challenges, working petitively in a globalized economy, and having enthusiasm rather than anxiety about other cultures and approaches to existing problems can get on board with the movement to help our students get a globalized education. Encourage the young people in your lives to get a passport and see the world as a classroom. Its good forAmerica. And its fun.32. What is the authors attitude towards study abroad? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Cautious.33. What do educators worry about? A. Students not being able to study abroad. B. Poor students not receiving a good education. C.

A. is a huge waste of public money B. helps increase students petitiveness C. makes students aware of the challenges theyll face D. teaches students how to work with international partners35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _. A. Americas next generation will face many difficulties B. the author is greatly concerned aboutAmericas future C.
