Nowadays,people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festival, especially those western festivals.

A survey conducted recently by Sina.Com showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.9% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation,nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act , showing they were not "out".These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young.10.45 percent people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness.Only 7.8% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民)。

The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China's economy.In my opinion of view,Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin.They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life.Shop owners' pockets are filled, the public's hunger for happiness is filled,and that is enough.Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.

The crisis (危机)of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals.Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life.

But the western culture shows much of romance.Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people.At this point , food seems to be too plain.Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.

Foreign festivals in China today are celebrated for fun.They give people opportunities to relax and to show appreciation and gratefulness.The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public,the familiarity with the western culture,and most importantly ,on people's economic status.

64.From the survey we know that among the people surveyed _________

A. Most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous

B. Many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon

C. Some think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing

D. half think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of fashion

MOSCOW(RIA Novosti)-----Dutch architect Erick Van Egeraat has designed a Russia-shaped island to be created in the Black Sea near Sochi by 2014,when the city will host the Winter Olympics.

At an investment forum in Sochi on September 21st,Erick Van Egeraat presented an architectural design of his project,Federation Island.It gets its name from the planned shape of the coastline,which will resemble Russia’s boundaries.

According to the plans,the 250—hectare island,to cost about 155 billion rubles(over$6 billion),will have two marinas(码头),religious centers,roads,parkland and artificial rivers,mimicking(模仿)Russia’s major rivers.The island will be conveniently located 13 km from the airport and 14km from the railroad terminal in the resort ctiy.It’s planned to be built in 2008～2013.Designed as a private project,the island has attracted Russian officials’attention at the forum.The acting Economic Minister,German Gref,mentioned it in his speech,quoting its cost at about$10 billion.

Van Egeraat,who’s also carrying out or planning a series of other projects in Russia,said a consortium(财团)of Russian and foreign companies had been created to build the island,which is similar to artificial islands that have been built in the United Arab Emirates.Palm Islands,the world’s three largest artificial islands，are being built in the Persian Gulf to encourage tourism near Dubai,and will add 520 km of beaches to the city.

The investment forum in Sochi last week was focused on future investment in the development of Sochi’s infrastructure(基础设施)up to 2020,and the construction of sports facilities ahead of the Winter Olympic Games.

Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.

Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.

“We’ve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we’ve been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.”

Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.

“As carbon dioxide dissolves (溶解) in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid (酸), carbonic acid, ” Dore explains. “And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more acidic.”

The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.

The effect was particularly striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.

“It’s important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It’s potentially catastrophic.”

72. What can be the best title of the passage?

A. Sea Life Facing Danger B. Scientist Researching Seawater

C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic D. Climate Change Affecting Seawater

73. Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life?

a. Sea life is endangered.

b. CO2 goes into the surface water.

c. The ocean chemistry is affected.

d. CO2 decreases the pH and makes the seawater more acidic.

e. CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up.

A. a→b→c→d→e B. e→b→c→d→a

C. a→e→c→d→b D. e→d→c→b→a

74. Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on ________.

A. his research and analysis B. the expectation of other scientists

C. some former theory D. a major cause of climate change

75. What does the passage want to tell us most?

A. It takes time to make a scientific study.

B. Atmospheric CO2 is a major cause of climate change.

C. Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist.

D. Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe.

Nowadays, some students would not like to live in a dormitory. Instead, they rent houses outside the school. There are advantages for both. Living in a dormitory can increase the friendship and cooperation with roommates. An, of course, it is safer. A dormitory is more like a small society, which enables students to learn to adapt to each other, and prepare for the social life later. As for renting houses to live alone, it’s better for study as you can feel free in your own room without being interrupted by others. As a result, you can have more time to devote yourself to studying whole-heartedly. But there may appear some safety problems as you live outside of the school.

Anyhow, as a student, I prefer living in a dormitory.
