The United Nations Environment Programme is calling for urgent action to reduce growing risks from chemicals. Better management of chemicals could save millions of lives and billions of dollars. As estimated(估计), 143,000 chemicals are now produced. Yet the report says only a small number of these chemicals have been studied for their effects on human health and the environment. It says death and disability rates are high from the unsafe use of chemical products.
Sylvie Lemmet, director of the United Nations Environment Programme, says poor management of chemicals has a high economic cost. For example, she says the cost is higher than the amount of overseas development aid, or ODA, for health care in sub-Saharan Africa.
She says, “ If you look at the estimated cost of poisoning from pesticide(杀虫剂) in sub-Saharan Africa, only the injury and the loss of working time are estimated to be 6.3billion US dollars in 2009. This is higher than the total ODA that is going to the health sector in the same area.”
The United Nations Environment Programme estimates that chemical sales worldwide will increase by around three percent a year until 2050. Chemical production is moving quickly from developed to developing countries. By 2020, chemical production is expected to increase by 40 percent in Africa and the Middle East and 33 percent in Latin America. One of its biggest concerns is the pollution of rivers and lakes by pesticide and fertilizer. Other major concerns are heavy metal pollution from the production of cement and textiles，and doxin pollution from mining.
The UN report urges the chemical industry and governments to work together to develop safety policies. It says preventing harm costs less than fixing it.
24. The purpose of Paragraph 3 is mainly to indicate that __________.
A. the use of pesticide causes a great loss
B. Africa needs more development aid
C. chemicals have a high production cost
D. the estimated cost of poisoning from pesticide is inaccurate
25. Which of the following is NOT a source of danger according to the text?
A. Pesticide B. Fertilizer C. Heavy metals D. Minerals
26. According to the text, what is the main reason for the risks from chemicals?
A. Poor management of chemicals.
B. Lack of research funds on chemicals.
C. The mass production of cement and textiles.
D. Contradictions (矛盾)between chemical producers and governments.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The truth in Sylvie Lemmet’s comments
B. A UN warning about chemical dangers
C. The unpredictable future of chemical industry
D. Preventing is much better than fixing

The world’s fastest runners come from Jamaica. In the past decade most of the sprint events have been dominated by male and female runners from the Caribbean island. Usain Bolt，Asafa Powell and Verona Campbell－Brown are among Jamaica’s world record holders and Olympic gold medalists.
__36__ In former times sprinters were poor people who came from the slums. When they saw they had talent they got scholarships at American colleges. They experienced world class training there but，nevertheless，did not feel at home. Today，Jamaica has the money to employ top coaches，so Jamaican sprinters stay at home. Here they are more relaxed and can perform better.
In Jamaica，children start running at a very early age. When they get to school，teachers and athletic coaches watch them run and walk. Then，depending on their talent they are sent to track and field clubs.__37__ At school track meets crowds of teenagers get together to compete with each other. Running is very important in Jamaica and winning a national title or a school championship is something really big. __38__
Another reason for Jamaica’s success on tracks around the world is food. A typical breakfast includes salt fish with yams，bananas and maybe a cup of tea. It contains carbohydrates which runners need to perform well.
__39__ They have long legs and little fat. Their narrow hips allow them to lift their knees higher when they run. Many scientists have been researching African and Caribbean runners in order to find out if they have a special gene that makes them faster than the others.__40__
The success of Bolt，Powell and others has triggered hype(天花乱坠的广告宣传)among Jamaican children. These are their idols and they want to be just like them.
A．A tough competition may be one of the reasons why Jamaicans are so good.
B．Nutritionists argue that the diet of Jamaican children is one of the keys to success.
C．Jamaican athletes are also built differently from non－blacks.
D．Running has changed in Jamaica.
E．Most of the country’s world class runners started out in the two leading track clubs.
F．Hard training and iron will is essential to be among the best in the world.
G．However，there is no evidence of such a gene.
On the top of the hill ______ many trees.
A. stand B. stands C. is standing D. have stood
In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）.
One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
5. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A. To save customers times.
B. To show they are high quality foods.
C. To sell them at discount prices
D. To help sell junk food.
6. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A. Opening the store early in the morning.
B. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread
C. Inviting customers to play music.
D. Displaying British wines next to French ones.
7. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?
A. A good first impression increases sales
B. The more expensive the house is, the better it sells.
C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.
D. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
8. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To show dishonest business practices.
B. To report researches on customer behavior.
C. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.
D. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
—It is a long time ______ I saw you last.

Over 80 percent of mankind’s diet is provided by the seeds of less than a dozen plant species. But the amount and variety of crop production has been increasing all the time.
____56____For example, Egyptians settled along the River Nile, the Chinese empire along the Yellow River, and the Mesopotamian countries along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The river systems provided these early civilizations with a consistent source of silt(泥沙)from the yearly floods and water for the crops. 57
Farming changed very little from early times until about 1700. In the 1700s an agricultural revolution took place, which led to a large increase in the production of crops. 58 These crops, such as corn and potatoes, produced very large yields.
In the 1850s, the industrial revolution came to the farm with new mechanized methods. 59 Early on, the biggest changes were in the use of new farm tools. 60 The new tools, combined with crop rotation(轮作), manure(粪肥)and better soil preparation, led to a steady increase in crop yields in Europe. Later on, the arrival of steam power and, later, gasoline-powered engines represented a big step forward in the production of crops.
A. These methods greatly increased production rates.
B. So people had to work out a new plan to manage the water
C. Many of the early civilizations began along major river systems.
D. Most of the early tools were still powered by horses, oxen or men.
E. Silt is like a natural fertilizer, bringing new minerals to enrich the soil
F. How to increase the crop production has been a problem for human beings
G. One great change in this revolution was the adoption of some different crops
