Growth has also _43_ thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, _44_ travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a BeijingShanghai highspeed line is _45_ to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.Signs of Nanjings _46_ wealth and optimism can be seen enerywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yatsen, _47_ the father of modern China, looks _48_ over a busy _49_ area.There is perhaps no more _50_ symbol of the citys transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1480foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. _51_ offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second tallest building in China and billed as the seventh tallest in the world.Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and _52_ student populationthere are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkinss international studies school.

Not because she actually was honest, but because she lied all the time. She felt that the easiest way out of any given situation was generally the best way out. And, for her, that generally meant telling a “little white lie”. As a young child I thought it was kind of cool. And, naturally, when I would come to her with a concern or question wondering what I should do, she generally advised me to lie.“Mom, I told Theresa that I would go over to her house, but now I would rather go to Sues house to play.”“Tell Theresa youre sick，” she would advise. And generally I did. But I didnt seem blessed with her lack of conscience. On many painful occasions Theresa would find out that I really went to Sues house without her. These occasions taught me that it is more painful to be caught in a lie than it is to tell the truth in the first place. I wondered how it was possible that my mother had never learned that lesson.I started thinking of all the lies that Id heard her tell. I remembered the time she told someone that her favorite restaurant had closed, because she didnt want to see them there anymore. Or the time she told Dad that she loved the lawnmower he gave her for her birthday. Or when she claimed that our phone lines had been down when she was trying to explain why she hadnt been in touch with a friend of hers for weeks. And what bothered me even more were all the times she had involved me into her lies. Like the time she told my guidance counselor that I had to miss school for exploratory surgery, when she really needed me to babysit. And it even started to bother me when someone would call for her and she would ask me to tell them that she wasnt there.So, I started my own personai fight against her dishonesty. When I answered the phone and it was someone my mother didnt want to talk to, I said, “Louise, mom is here, but she doesnt want to talk to you.” The first time I did it, she punished me, but I refused to apologize. I told her that I had decided that it was wrong to lie. And the next time it happened I did the same thing. Finally, she approached me and said, “I agree that lying is not the best thing to do, but we need to find a way to be honest without being rude.” She admitted that her methods werent right, and I admitted that mine were a bit too extreme.Over the past few years, the two of us have worked together to be honestand yet kind. Honesty should mean more than not lying. It should mean speaking the truth in kindness. Though I started by trying to teach my mom the importance of honesty, I ended up gaining a deeper understanding of the meaning of the term.()56. The authors mother _.A. thought white lies were not liesB. helped the author get out of trouble with white liesC. told the author to lie when in troubleD. taught the author the importance of being honest()57. The author _.A. was thankful to her mothers adviceB. felt more awkward when being caught lyingC. found that telling the truth hurt more than telling a lieD. felt guilty when hurting people with her honesty()58. It can be inferred that the authors mother _.A. met her friends in the same restaurant regularlyB. didnt get along with the authors teachersC. was not popular among her friendsD. wanted to have something else for her birthday()59. Finally the author and her mother agreed that _.A. kindheartedness is more important than honestyB. appropriate methods are the key to telling a good lieC. honesty is defined as kindness as well as truthfulnessD. absolute honesty is basic to good interpersonal relationshipsBAir pollution is damaging 60% of Europes prime wildlife sites in meadows, forests and bushes, according to a new report.A team of EU scientists said nitrogen emissions(氮排放) from cars, factories and farming were threatening biodiversity. Its the second report this week warning of the ongoing riks and threats linked to nitrogen pollution.21世纪教育网Nitrogen in the atmosphere is harmless in its inert(惰性的) state, but the report says reactive forms of nitrogen, largely produced by human activity, can be a menace to the natural world.Emissions mostly come from vehicle exhausts(排气), factories, artificial fertilizers(肥料) and animal waste from intensive farming. The reactive nitrogen they emit to the air disrupts the environment in two ways: It can make acidic soils too acidic to support their previous mix of species. But primarily, because nitrogen is a fertilizer, it favors wild plants that can maximize the use of nitrogen to help them grow.In effect, some of the nitrogen spread to fertilize crops is carried in the atmosphere to fertilize weeds, possibly a great distance from where the chemicals were first applied.The effects of fertilization and acidification favor common aggressive species like grasses, brambles and nettles. They harm more delicate species like mosses(苔藓), and insecteating sundew plants.The report said 60% of wildlife sites were now receiving a critical load of reactive nitrogen. The reports lead author, Dr. Kevin Hicks from the University of Yorks Stockholm Environment Institute(SEI), told BBC News that Englands Peak District had a definitely low range of species as a result of the reactive nitrogen that fell on the area.“Nitrogen creates a rather big problem that seems to me to have been given too little attention，” he said. “Governments are responsible for protecting areas like this, but they are clearly failing.”He said more research was needed to understand the knockon effects for creatures from the changes in vegetation accidentally caused by emissions from cars, industry and farms.At the conference, the representatives agreed “The Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen”. The document highlights the importance of reducing reactive nitrogen emissions to the environment, adding that the benefits of reducing nitrogen outweigh the costs of taking action.()60. The underlined word “menace” is used to express that the reactive nitrogen, largely produced by human activity can be _.A. frightening B. threatening C. unique D. unusual()61. We can infer from the passage that _.A. its harmless to have reactive nitrogen existing in the atmosphereB. reactive nitrogen emissions help aggressive species less than cropsC. the harm to those delicate species has a negative impact on biodiversityD. reactive nitrogen can fertilize soils and keep their biodiversity()62. The team of EU scientists released the second report of nitrogen emissions this week when _.A. no action was taken to stop nitrogen emissionB. governments were willing to protect areas harmed by nitrogenC. “The Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen” was agreedD. nitrogen emissions were threatening wildlife sites biodiversity()63. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Keeping Away From Nitrogen EmissionsB. Stopping Nitrogen EmissionsC. Air Pollution Damaging Europes WildlifeD. Saving Europes WildlifeCThe 2010 Eustace Tilley ContestThis marks our third annual contest soliciting(征求) readers opinions on Eustace Tilley, the magazines iconic dandy(花花公子), who appeared on the cover of the first issue of The New Yorker and on almost every anniversary issue since.In celebration of our upcoming 85th anniversary, we invite you to create your own version of The New Yorkers dandy.Entries to our third annual Eustace Tilley contest will be accepted from December 17th through January 18th.Winners will be featured on Newyorker. com.Visit newyorker.com/go/tilley2010 to enter and for complete contest rulesOpen to legal US and Canada residents (except Quebec) age 18 and over.Video Conversations with James SurowieckiWatch the author of The Financial Pagse column in discussion with policymakers, business leaders, and economists.This month, James Surowiecki speaks with Dan Vasella, the chairman and CEO of Novartis, about drug prices, healthcare, reform, and the appearance of China in the pharmaceutical(制药的) industry.Visit www.newyorker. com/go/vasella today.
