PART FOUR WRITING
SECTION A
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer
Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be flooded by the sea water.
Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plantations that produce fruit and vegetables. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.
But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy, best known for its canals, has sunk 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark’s Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times.
While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu’s rising sea level is caused by global warming.
The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century, scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.
Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10-25cm in the last 100 years.
The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.
Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there would be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.
Should this come true, millions of homes would be flooded by the sea water and the world would be flooded with climate refugees(難民) looking for somewhere to live.

I went back to make sandwiches, 小題6:  that what he had been doing was completed. Moments later, 小題7:  ,he was once again toward the woods. This 小題8:  went on for an hour—walked 小題9:  to the woods, and ran back to the house.
小題10: I couldn’t take it any longer, so I went out of the house quietly and 小題11:  him on his journey. As I leaned into spy on him. I saw the most  小題12:  sight. Several large deer were in front of him. Billy walked right up to them. And I saw a tiny young deer lying on the ground 小題13:  suffering from dehydrateion (脫水) and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with 小題14:  effort to drink up the water in my beautiful boy’s 小題15:  .
When the water was 小題16:  ,Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap that we had 小題17:  .Billy opened it all the way up and a small trickle(細(xì)流) began to creep out. When he stood up and began to  小題18:  ,I was there in front of him. His little eyes were just filled with tears.
“I’m not 小題19:  ,”was all he said.
As the tears that rolled down his face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly 小題20:  by other drops…more drops…and more.
All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like one little boy saved deer.

A team of researchers recently created a robot that can repair itself. The newly designed machine can sense injury to itself and adapt. That ability sets the new robot apart from earlier machines. Because the robot can recover from unexpected damage, it may be especially useful in exploring unfamiliar places. “There is a need for planetary robotic rovers(流浪者) to be able to fix things on their own,” says Josh Bongard, one of the device’s creators. “Robots on other planets must be able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to Earth.”
A typical robot functions according to a computer program, but the new robot works differently. First, sensors in its four legs observe the robot’s movements and signals to its built-in computer. From the information it collects, the robot creates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations. For example, when the researchers shortened one of the robot’s legs, the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walking—it used three legs instead of four.
The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient(迅速恢復(fù)) robot to work. One possible spot is the ocean floor. That dark and dangerous undersea terrain(地帶) might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish. “We never officially named the robot, but we usually refer to it as the Starfish, even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs,” says Bongard. “Also, a real starfish is much better than our robot at recovering from injury, because it can actually regrow its legs.” Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways: by exploring space, fighting fires, and even performing surgery.
1. The newly designed robot is different from the former ones because it ___________.
A. can communicate with people on the earth about their problems
B. works according to a certain computer program
C. can find problems itself and get used to the new environment
D. can explore unfamiliar places
2. An example is given in the second paragraph in order to explain that the new robot ___________.
A. is used to create new programs                        B. has typical robot functions
C. has sensors to observe its movements              D. can adapt to new conditions
3. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. How does the Starfish Robot work                B. Do-It-Yourself Robot Repair
C. Robots Designed to Work On Other Planets    D. New Robot Helping Us In Many Ways
4. Which of the following is True about the Starfish?
A. It has more than four legs.                               B. It hasn’t been officially named.      
C. It can regrow its legs quickly.                    D. It has started to work on the ocean floor.

Over the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination(歧視) have been made illegal. But one popular form continues to exist, that is alphabetism (字母排序法). This, for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames (姓氏) begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.
It has long been known that the cars of a taxi firm called AAAA have a big advantage over Zodiac cars when customers look through their phone directories. Less well known is the advantage that Adam Abbot has in life over Zoe Zysman. English names are fairly spread between the halves of the alphabet. Yet a quite large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K.
Thus the American presidents and vice-presidents have surnames starting with B and C separately and 26 of those before George Bush took office (including his father) had surnames in the first half of the alphabet against just 16 in the second half. Even more striking, six of the seven heads of government of the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged (Berlusconi, Blair, Bush, Chirac, Chretien and Koizumi ). The world’s three top central bankers (Greenspan, Duisenberg and Hayami) are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. The same case are the world’s five richest men (Gates, Buffet and so on).
Can this merely happen by chance? At the start of the first year in primary school, teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their names. So shortsighted Zysman gets stuck in the back row, and is seldom asked the improving questions by those teachers. At that time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. Yet the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less attention, as well as less confidence in speaking publicly.
The unfairness continues. At university graduation parties, the ABCs proudly get their awards first. However, by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are a little tired. Lists of job interviews and conference speakers and attendees all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their readers lose interest as they plough through them.
1. What does the author intend to show with AAAA cars and Zodiac cars?
A. An example of competition of two kinds of cars.    B. Some advantages of AAAA cars in the taxi firm.
C. An example of unfairness caused by alphabetism.   D. Some disadvantages of Zodiac cars in the taxi firm.
2. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?
A. The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoe Zysman.
B. In both East and West, names are important to success.
C. Customers often pay a lot of attention to companies’ names.
D. The discrimination in alphabetism can be found in many areas.
3. The fourth paragraph suggests that         .
A. alphabetically disadvantaged students often escape from class
B. teachers should pay equal attention to all their students
C. questions are often put to the more intelligent students
D. students should be seated according to their eyesight
4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. VIPs in the western world gain a great deal from alphabetism.
B. People with surnames beginning with N to Z are often ill – treated.
C. Putting things alphabetically may lead to unintentional unfairness.
D. The movement to get rid of alphabetism still has a long way to go.
