Reading(40) A Liverpool city council want to clear the city of fat pigeons. They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because their normal diet would consist of seeds and insects, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city centre. The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons is responsible for the streets being so crowded with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces. Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds - known as “robops” - will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different locations. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons. They even make noises and flap their wings to scare the pigeons. They hope that the pigeons will go away before the city becomes the European Capital of Culture in two years. 11..

The facts are not in dispute， It was quite right to employ the analogy that likened demographic growth to “a long，thin power fuse that burns steadily and haltingly until it finally reaches the charge and explodes. ” To understand the current situation. which is characterized by rapid increases in population， it is necessary to understand the history of population trends. Rapid growth is a comparatively recent phenomenon. Looking back at the 8，000 years of demographic history， we find that populations have been virtually stable or growing very slightly for most of human history. For most of our ancestors， life was hard， often nasty， and very short. There was high fertility in most places， but this was usually balanced by high mortality. For most of human history， it was seldom the case that one in ten persons would live past forty， while infancy and childhood were especially risky periods. Often， societies were in clear danger of extinction because death rates could exceed their birthrates. Thus， the population problem throughout most of history was how to prevent extinction of the human race. This pattern is important to notice. Not only does it put the current problems of demographic growth into a historical perspective， but it suggests that the cause of rapid increase in population in recent years is not a sudden enthusiasm for more children， but an improvement in the conditions that traditionally have caused high mortality. Demographic history can be divided into two major periods: a time of long， slow growth which extended from about 8，000 BC till approximately AD 1650. In the first period of some 9600 years， the population increased from some 8 million to 500 million in 1650 Between 1650 and the present， the population has increased from 500 million to more than 4 billion And it is estimated that by the year 2000 there will be 6.2 billion people throughout the world. One way to appreciate this dramatic difference in such abstract numbers is to reduce the time frame to something that is more manageable. Between 8000BC and 1650， an average of only 50，000 persons was being added annually to the world?s population each year. At present， this number is added every six hours. The increase is about 80，000，000 persons annually. 19.During the first period of demographic history， societies were often in danger of extinction because___. A. only one in ten persons could live past 40. B. there was higher mortality than fertility in most places. C. it was too dangerous to have babies due to the poor conditions. D. our ancestors had little enthusiasm for more children. 20. Which statement is true about population increase, A. There might be an increase of 2,2 billion persons from now to the year 2000. B. About 50，000 babies are born every six hours at present. C. Between 8000 BC and the present， the population increase is about 80，000，000 persons each year. D. The population increased faster between 8000BC and 1650 than between 1650 and the present. 21.The author of the passage intends to___. A. warn people against the population explosion in the near future. B. compare the demographic growth pattern in the past with that after 1650. C. find out the cause for rapid increase in population in recent years. D. present us a clear and complete picture of the demographic growth. 22.The word “demographic” in the first paragraph means___. A. statistics of human. B. surroundings study. C. accumulation of human. D. development of human. D Which is safer,staying at home， traveling to work on public transport， or working in the office, Surprisingly， each of these carries the same risk， which is very low. However， what about flying compared to working in the chemical industry, Unfortunately， the former is 65 times riskier than the latter. In fact, the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of almost any of human activity， and almost as safe as staying at home. The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby. It is this which makes chemical accidents so newsworthy. Fortunately， they are extremely rare. The most famous ones happened at Texas City (1947)，Flixborough (1974)， Seveso (1976)， Pemex (1984) and Bhopal (1984). Some of these are always in the minds of the people even though the loss of life was small. No one died at Seveso， and only 28 workers at Flixborough. The worst accident of all was Bhopal， where up to 3，000 were killed. The Texas City explosion of fertilizer killed 552. The Pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the suburbs of Mexico City took 542 lives， just a month before the unfortunate event at Bhopal. Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger. Thus the Texas City explosion was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate(硝酸铵)，which is safe unless stored in great quantity. The Flixborough fireball was the fault of management， which took risks to keep production going during essential repairs. The Seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep. When the poisonous gas drifted over the town， local leaders were incapable of taking effective action. The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded suburb. The fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tanks. Yet， by a miracle， the two largest tanks did not explode. Had these caught fire， then 3，000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have died. 23.Which of the following statements is true, Working at the office is safer than staying at home. B. Traveling to work on public transport is safer than working at the office. C. Staying at home is safer than working in the chemical industry. D. Working in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air. 24.Chemical accidents are usually important enough to be reported as news because ____. A. they are very rare B. they often cause loss of life C. they always occur in big cities D. they arouse the interest of all the readers 25. According to passage， the chemical accident that caused by the fault of management happened at ____. A. Texas city B. Flixborough C. Seveso D. Mexico City 26. From the passage we know that ammonium nitrate is a kind of ____. A. natural gas，which can easily catch fire B. fertilizer，which can„t be stored in a great quantity C .poisonous substance，which can„t be used in overcrowded areas D. fuel，which is stored in large tanks E Chinese Americans today have higher incomes than Americans in general and higher occupational status. The Chinese have risen to this position despite some of the harshest discrimination and violence faced by any immigrants to the United States in the history of this country. Long confined to a narrow range of occupations they succeeded in those occupations and then spread out into other areas in later years, when opportunities finally opened up for them. Today much of the Chinese prosperity is due to the simple fact that they work more and have more (usually better) education than others. Almost one out of five Chinese families has three or more income earners compared to one out of thirteen for Puerto Ricans, one out of ten among American Indians, and one out of eight among Whites. When the Chinese advantages in working and educational are held constant, they have no advantage over other Americans. That is in a Chinese Family with a given number of people working and with a given amount of education by the head of the family, the income is not only about average for such families, and offer a little less than average. While Chinese Americans as a group are prosperous and well-educated Chinatowns are pockets of poverty, and illiteracy is much higher among the Chinese than among Americans in general. Those paradoxes are due to sharp internal differences. Descendants of the Chinese Americans who emigrated long ago from Toishan Province have maintained Chinese values and have added acculturation to American society with remarkable success. More recent Hong Kong Chinese are from more diverse cultural origins, and acquired western values and styles in Hong Kong, without having acquired the skills to proper and support those aspirations in the American economy. Foreign-born Chinese men in the United States are one-fourth lower incomes than native-born Chinese even though the foreign-born have been in the United States an average of seventeen years. While the older Hong Kong Chinese work tenaciously to sustain and advance themselves, the Hong Kong Chinese youths often react with resentment and antisocial behavior, including terrorism and murder. The need to maintain tourism in Chinatown causes the Chinese leaders to mute or downplay these problems as much as possible. 27 .According to the passage, today, Chinese Americans owe their prosperity to___. A. their diligence and better education than others. B. their support of American government. C. their fight against discriminations. D. advantages in working only. 28. The passage is mainly concerned with___. A. Chinese Americans today. B .social status of Chinese Americans today. C. incomes and occupational status of Chinese Americans today. D. problems of Chinese Americans today. 29. Chinatowns are pockets of poverty, as is probably associated with___. A. most descendants of Chinese Americans are rebelling. B. most descendants of Chinese Americans are illiterate. C. sharp internal difference between Chinese coming from different cultural backgrounds. D. only a few Chinese Americans are rich. 30. Which of the following statements is not true according to this article A. As part of the minority, Chinese Americans are still experiencing discrimination in American today. B. Nowadays, Chinese Americans are working in wider fields. C. Foreign-born Chinese earn lower income than native-born Chinese Americans with the similar advantages in the U.S. D. None of the above.
