Head above Water

       TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it will be swallowed up by the sea.

       Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.

       But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea .Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St .Mark’s Square, the lowest point city, flooded about nine times a year .Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, global warming causes Tuvalu’s rising sea level.

       The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it rise by extra 1—3 degrees over the next 100 years.

       Warmer weather makes glaciers冰川melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10—25 cm in the last 100 years.

       The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.

       Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.

       Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live?

67. We can infer from the second paragraph that         .

       A. Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea.

       B. all Tuvalu’s islands are about five meters above the sea level.

       C. drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyed.

       D. Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves.

68. The author uses Tuvalu and Venice as examples in order to explain       .

       A. they are the first place sinking into the sea

       B. they are both sinking into the mud where they stand

       C. they will disappear in the future

       D. their trouble is caused by global warming

69. Put the following events in the right order.

       a. Glaciers began to melt.  b. People burn coal, oil and gas.

       c. The greenhouse effect is growing.  d. The earth is getting warmer and warmer.

       e. The sea level is rising.   f. More CO2 is produced.

g. Many places are sinking into the sea.

           A. d,f,b,c,a,e,g     B. b,f,c,d,e,a,g         C. f,c,b,d,a,e,g         D. b,f,c,d,a,e,g

70. What does “climate refugees” mean?

       A. People who are forced away from their homeland by climate.

       B. Climate changes .   C. Rare animals      D. Climate effect

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Measly Jones.

Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”

A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt   

B. he couldn’t stand a clean appearance

C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time

72. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _______.

A. they make him feel at ease when working  

B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes

  C. he looks handsome in casual clothes

  D. he no longer works for any company

73. According to this passage, which of the following statements is false?

  A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.

  B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.

  C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.

  D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.

74. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?

   A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.

   B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.

   C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.

   D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.

75. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned in the passage except _______.

A. saving employees’ money          B. making employees more attractive

  C. improving employees’ motivation    D. making employees happier
