A
Seen from space the earth is covered with a blue mantle. It is a planet on which the continents are dwarfed (相形见绌) by the ocean surrounding them and the vastness of the marine (海洋的) area.
An astonishing 80 percent of all life on earth is to be found hidden beneath the waves and this vast global ocean drives the natural forces which keep life on our planet. The ocean provides necessary sources of protein, energy, minerals and other products and the rolling of the sea across the planet creates over half our oxygen, drives weather systems and natural flows of energy and nutrients around the world, transports water masses many times greater than all the rivers on land combined and keeps the earth suitable for living things to survive. Without the global ocean there would be no life on earth.
It is seriously worrying, then, that we are damaging the ocean on a level that is unimaginable to most people.
We now know that human activity can have a serious influence on the vital forces of our planet. We have fundamentally changed our global climate and are just beginning to understand the consequences of that.
As yet largely unseen, but just as serious, are the influences we are having on the ocean. A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and strong and healthy habitats. The actual state of our ocean is a far cry from this natural state.
A lot of pressure is being put directly and indirectly on ocean ecosystems by human activities. Consequently ecosystems are breaking down as marine species are in danger of dying out and ocean habitats are being destroyed. With the decrease in their diversity, ocean ecosystems are losing their natural way of recovery.
We need to defend the ocean now more than ever, because climate change is having a potentially disastrous impact on the marine world. 1、. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. What the ocean looks like.
B. What the ocean is made up of.
C. What live in the ocean.
D. What functions the ocean has. 2、. According to the text, the ocean directly provides people with ____.
A. water forming rivers
B. comfortable habitats
C. all the natural forces they need
D. driving forces for energy and nutrients 3、. It is not realized by many people that we have ____.
A. done great harm to the ocean
B. benefited greatly from the ocean
C. fundamentally changed our global climate
D. begun to suffer the consequences of pollution 4、. The best title for this text would be ____.
A. Protecting Our Planet
B. Defending Our Ocean
C. Getting to Know Our Planet
D. Make Good Use of Our Ocean
B
The saying that children don’t like reading any more has been proved untrue. A new study finds that 75 percent of kids between 5 and 17 say that although they love technology, they still want to read books.
“The kids & Family Reading Report” also says that 62 percent of kids prefer reading printed books rather than those on a computer. At the same time, those who search an author’s website or use the Internet to find books by a particular author, are more likely to read books for fun every day.
The study also once again proves that the time kids spend reading books for fun decreases after the age of eight and continues to drop through the teen years. The report is a follow-up to a 2006 study. But this time the focus is on the role of technology and when kids’ interest in reading starts to drop.
“Despite the fact that after the age of eight more children go online daily than read for fun daily, high frequency Internet users are more likely to read books for fun every day.” says Heather Carter, a writer of the report.
One in four kids between 5 and 17 say they read books for fun every day and more than half of kids say they read books for fun at least two to three times a week. One of the key reasons kids say why they don’t read more often is that they have trouble finding books they like — a requirement that parents underestimate.
The study also finds that parents have a strong influence on kids’ reading, but only about half of all parents begin reading to their kids before their first birthday. The percent of children who are read to every day drops from 38 percent among five-to-eight-year-olds to 23 percent among nine-to-11-year-olds — exactly the same time that kids’ daily reading for fun starts to drop.
“Parents’ engagement in their children’s reading from birth all the way through the teen years can have a great influence on how often their children read and how much they enjoy reading”, adds Carter.

A. 75 percent of kids like surfing the Internet.
B. Most kids are more likely to read e-books for fun every day.

50. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. nowadays all the kids still like to read books
B. most parents begin reading to their kids from their birth
C. some kids like to get some information using the Internet
D. the study of kids’ reading has been made before
51. Parents should ________.
A. begin to read books to kids from the age of 8
B. read more books to kids as early as possible
C. help to prevent the decrease of kids’ reading
D. encourage their kids to read at the age of 11
52. What does the underlined word “underestimate” mean?
A. evaluate
B. ignore C. undervalue
D. request
53. What’s the best title of the passage?

B. Kids’ interest in reading drops
