34、.BMIANYANGAt a corner of the citys Jiuzhou Stadium, one of the biggest camps set up for those left homeless in the earthquake, 62-year-old Liu Yaorong was leaning against a window on Thursday.Pointing to a quilt and clothes he received from the local government, he said: “These are all I have. My ho

35、me collapsed in the quake, and everything in the town was flooded.”He used to live in Xuanping town of Beichuan county which was destroyed by the quake. Adding to his misery, rivers blocked by landslides(山崩) led to flooding in the town.But Liu said he was lucky because he was healthy, otherwise he w

36、ould not have the energy to walk 10 hours on damaged and dangerous mountainous roads to escape the flood on Monday. He said the trip used to take him about 90 minutes when the roads were in good condition.The journey was difficult and “rocks kept falling,” he said, showing injured legs and black, sp

37、lit toenails.Liu said his three sons were working in eastern cities as migrant workers.“Ive been living alone in the mountains for more than 20 years. My wife died 30 years ago,” he said in a low voice.During his journey to Mianyang, Liu said he saw many elderly people who chose to stay.“Soldiers we

38、re persuading them to leave for fear of floods,” he said.Talking about his home before the quake struck, Lius mood lifted. “I raised pigs and chickens, and grew vegetables. I could have rice, meat and greens almost every day,” he said.“But now, I have only biscuits and instant noodles.”Liu said one

39、of his sons returned home from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, after the quake, but left because the father refused to go with him.“I dont want to leave home. And I know it is difficult for them out there. How could I add to their burden?” he asked, his eyes red.“I still want to go back to my home. Give

40、n a small piece of land, I could live by myself.”It is learnt that resettlement plans for displaced people have not been finalized.However, not every elderly person is as strong-willed as Liu.Psychologists said the elderly need as much comfort as children. Lu Jianguo, a psychologist from Chengdu Med

41、ical College, said “We will first let them cry and tell their stories, and then help them regain confidence.”59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.

Elderly react more quickly to flood disasterB. Elderly try hard to deal with quake disasterC. Elderly prefer to stay at the

44、ir own homeD. Elderly are well cared for by governmentC In all ones lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is exactly oneself that one has the least understanding of.When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that e

45、verything you seek for is within your reach. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself, mistaking difficulties for your own incompetence.To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself-aware of both ones strengths and shortages. You may look forwa

46、rd hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for ideals can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. Thats to say so long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself there wont be difficulties you

47、cant overcome.To get a thorough understanding of oneself needs self-appreciation. Whether you think you are a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature that has its own value. If you earnestly admire yourself youll have a real sense of self-

48、appreciation, which will give you confidence. As soon as you gain full confidence in yourself, youll be enabled to fight and overcome any adversity.To get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires doing oneself a favor when its needed. In time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it wi

49、th your friends so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep. As you are aware, what a person physically has is but a human body thats vulnerable when exposed to the elements. So if you fall ill, its up to you to take a good car

50、e of yourself.In a word, to get a thorough understanding of oneself is to get a full control of ones life. Then one will find ones life full of color and flavor.63. What is described in Paragraph 2 is to show that .A. a person is easy to estimate himself too high when succeedingB. it is difficult fo

51、r one to have a perfect knowledge of oneselfC. you should keep up high spirits whatever difficulties you meet D. it is essential that a person get a thorough understanding of himself64. Remember not to expect too much of yourself when looking forward to the future because .A. your shortages might st

52、op you succeedingB. ideals can never be turned into realitiesC. you are likely to lack enough courageD. you havent understood yourself quite well65. Having a real sense of self-appreciation can enable one .A. to realize ones shortages B. not to be too proudC. to gain enough self-confidence D. not to

53、 go downhill66. If this passage is divided into three parts, the second part should consist of .A. Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 B. Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 5C. Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 5 D. Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5DScientists studying the impact of climate change on the Arctic need to consider way

54、s to reduce their own carbon footprints(碳排放量), says Ryan Brook, a researcher who regularly flies north to study the health of caribous(馴鹿).He calls on scientists to show leadership by examining and sharing ways to reduce the impact of working in polar regions.“The importance of the research is not a

55、t question here. It is important to our understanding of and adapting to climate change. But we need to think about better approaches,” says Brook.“This is an issue for all scientists, though polar researchers often travel particularly long distances using commercial air travel. We also rely extensi

56、vely on small aircraft, icebreakers, and snowmobiles, all of which produce large amounts of carbon.”Brook studies the health of caribou herds in Nunavut and Northwest Territories. He works with northern wildlife managers. This work typically takes him north five or six times per year and when he cal

57、culated his own carbon footprint, he was not happy with the result.“My research footprints are about the same as the annual footprints of an average Toronto resident. Basically, I have two footprints my own personal life, which is moderate, and my research footprint.”Climate scientists can rightly a

58、rgue that Arctic research is a specialized field and the community of scientists who travel north is relatively small. Even if all scientists working in the north reduced their carbon emissions, it would not make a big impact on the global scale. For Brook, its the option that matters.There are ways

59、 researchers can reduce the amount of carbon they use. Some helicopters use less fuel than others. Solar and wind power are alternatives to gas-fired generators. And while carbon offsets(抵消) dont reduce the amount of carbon emitted, they are an easy first step.“There arent necessarily any easy answe

60、rs, but we need to start talking about it,” says Brook. “This is particularly important for the next generation of scientists being trained and I hope to see them become leaders in this issue.”67. What did Brook find when he calculated his own carbon footprints?A. His carbon footprints are more than
