A
It is believed by experts that a weather pattern called El Nino caused the drought in Australia. EL Nino, referring to the Christ son in Spanish, was first used by people in Peru to show the abnormal weather conditions along the eastern Pacific coast around Christmas . EL Nino causes different weather in different parts of the world. It causes a lot of rain and floods in some places. It causes droughts in other places. Droughts can badly affect people and the land. El Nino lasts about a year.
In normal weather conditions, warm winds from South America blow from east to west across the Pacific Ocean. The winds bring early storms to Australia. These storms bring rain to Australia.
During an El Nino weather pattern the winds change direction. They blow from west to east across the Pacific Ocean. The storms no longer move across Australia. So Australia gets very little rain during El Nino.
The drought began in January , 1982. El Nino often occurs at this time of year. But that year , El Nino was stronger than usual. There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia. There was also very little water in the rivers. The drought was at its worst in February ,1983 . At that time , the weather was very hot. The forests and fields were very dry. Cotton growers couldn't plant their cotton. Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat. So many of them died. Because the forests were dry, forest fires started quickly. Some of the fires burned for a month. Many forests were destroyed. Over 2 , 000 people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died.
The Australian drought of l982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals. The drought cost the country over $ 3，000，000，000. It was a reminder to Australians of how the weather could change their lives.
21. From the passage we know El Nino is________.
A. a powerful storm B. a place in Australia C. a cute boy D. a weather pattern
22. The underlined word "occurs" in the passage means “ ______” in Chinese.
A. 发生 B. 发展 C. 消失 D. 持续
23. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia in 1982.
B. Many forests were destroyed in the Australian drought.
C. The Australian government paid over 3,000,000,000 for this drought.
D. El Nino caused a great drought in Australia

Silence means differently in different cultures. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
28. What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A. It is culture-specific. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It implies anger. D .It is content-based.
29. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A. The Mexicans. B. The French. C. The Chinese. D. The Russians.
30. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases. B. Make use of its healing effects
C. Evaluate its harm to patients . D. Break it while treating patients.
31. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Sound and Silence B. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
C. Silence to Native Americans D. What It Means to Be Silent
D
Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However, whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water．Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．
There are many environment―friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from reused materials. But the final goal should be" green gyms". They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.
