　　(2024·常德高三調(diào)研)Ever wonder how this season’s celebrations affect the environment？Guest blogger Krista Fairles takes an amusing look at this very topic.

　　The holidays are a wonderful，cheerful time when most people wait for Santa to bring them presents.But I’m not like most people.I spend my time wondering just what the environmental impacts of Santa Claus and his reindeer are，and more importantly，how I can calculate those impacts.

　　Lately I’ve been particularly curious as to whether Santa’s old sled is a clean green flying machine，or if he should be replacing his 8 reindeers with an environmentally－friendly car.

　　I should mention that，surprisingly，I was unable to find statistics specific to Santa’s magical flying reindeer，so these calculations use numbers from various sources and may not represent actual pollution caused by Santa and his animals.In other words，don’t complain to the government about the damage Santa is causing the environment based on this article.

　　Santa’s yearly trip around the globe is 44,000 km long，twice the average of a North American driver.If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip，then reindeer power only needs to push Santa’s sled forward.To complete the trip in 12 hours，I estimate they must travel at a speed of about 3,100 km/h.To travel at this speed，for this length of time，the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each！！

　　So the next question is：How much food is in 980 million calories？Well，if they’re eating corn，they’d need to eat 16,500 lbs each—or 1.6 acres of food.Growing 12.8 acres of corn has its own implications for the environment that we’ll leave for another calculation.

　　We now need to consider that during the global trip the reindeer are “l(fā)etting out” some of that corn in the form of methane(甲烷，沼氣)．A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year，so flying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons.With methane causing 20 times the global warming damage of CO2，and the altitude increasing that damage by 1,000% that another 20 times，we can put Santa’s round－trip emissions at 15,488 tons.This is much more than the 100 tons an environmentally－friendly car would release on the same trip!

　　Bad Santa.

　　1．Which aspect does the writer NOT include in her analyses about reindeer’s influence on environment?

　　A．Distance covered.

　　B．Calories consumed.

　　C．Tons of waste let out.

　　D．Money spent on food.

　　2．According to Paragraph 6，how many acres of corn would Santa need to feed 10 reindeers?

　　A．1.6.B．16.

　　C．12.8.

　　D．128.

　　3．Which of the following statements would the writer most probably agree with?

　　A．Christmas celebrations are really a waste of money.

　　B．Vegetarians are more likely to survive than meat－eaters.

　　C．Raising animals has a negative influence on environment.

　　D．The car industry does less harm to environment than farming.

　　4．Which of the following words best describes the language style of the passage?

　　A．Humourous and concerned.

　　B．Cheerful and friendly.

　　C．Academic and formal.

　　D．Serious and boring.

　　5．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

　　A．Is Santa driving clean and green?

　　B．Santa，watch where you’re going!

　　C．Santa Claus is coming to town!

　　D．Let’s reduce waste on Christmas celebrations!

　　A new report from the United States surgeon general finds that smoking tobacco is even deadlier than had been known.The report says smoking causes birth diseases—a leading cause of death among babies.It also links smoking to cancer of the liver and colon，diabetes and other illnesses.

　　The first U．S.surgeon general’s report on tobacco and health was released in 1964.It was the first scientific report to link smoking with lung cancer and heart disease.Now,50 years later，Acting Surgeon General Boris Lushniak has released a new report.His report provides more evidence about smoking tobacco and how it can harm health.

　　“If we’re going to work together to achieve a society free of tobacco－related disease，this must be understood，”said Lushniak.

　　The new report urges increased use of tobacco－control measures.The suggested controls include raising prices of cigarettes，and expanding bans on smoking in enclosed spaces.

　　Doctor Lushniak also said smoking holds back the body’s natural defenses for fighting disease.He said this increases a smoker’s likelihood of getting an infectious disease.

　　“One of the most disturbing findings is that the disease risks from smoking by women have risen sharply over the last fifty years.Women are now as likely to die from smoking as men，women smokers’ risk of lung cancer is now the same as men，and more women die from chronic lung disease than men，”said Lushniak.

　　The new report finds that those who do not smoke are at a higher risk for stroke if left unprotected from tobacco smoke.The latest research also shows damage to unborn children.Babies are more likely to be born with cleft palate(先天性腭裂)if the mother smokes.The chemicals in tobacco smoke can have lasting effects on brain development in a fetus(胎兒)．

　　The surgeon general would like to see more action to keep young people from developing a smoking habit.He supports higher prices on cigarettes，more anti－smoking media campaigns and more help for people who want to quit smoking.

　　6．The new findings show that smoking tobacco________.

　　A．can cause lung cancer and heart disease

　　B．has little to do with diabetes and other diseases

　　C．is the biggest health killer in the world

　　D．does greater harm than what had been widely known

　　7．From the new report，we learn that________.

　　A．mental disease is a number one cause of deaths among babies

　　B．smoking weakens the body’s natural defenses

　　C．women smokers have a higher risk of lung cancer than men

　　D．tobacco smoke has no bad effect on unborn children

　　8．The underlined word“this”in Paragraph 3 refers to________.

　　A．the evidence about smoking and how it harms health

　　B．a(chǎn) society free of tobacco－related diseases

　　C．increased use of tobacco－control measures

　　D．the first U．S.surgeon general’s report

　　9．Which of the following will receive Lushniak’s approval?

　　A．Decreasing prices of cigarettes.

　　B．Allowing smoking in enclosed spaces.

　　C．More anti－smoking media campaigns.

　　D．More help for people who smoke.

　　10．What is the best title for the passage?

　　A．Anti－smoking Media Campaigns

　　B．The First U．S.Surgeon General’s Report

　　C．Tobacco－control Measures Benefit Women

　　D．Smoking Causes More Health Problems

　　(2024·寧遠(yuǎn)一中高三模擬)Many people believe that classical music is not relevant to young people today.However，this issue frequently causes heated debate.

　　Some people say that classical music is associated only with old people.For example，if you look at the audience at a classical concert，most of the audience are over the age of fifty.

　　Others say it is more popular than we first imagine.Many young people listen to classical music without knowing it is classical music.It is often used in films and advertisements.For example，a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup.Not many people could have given its name，but millions enjoyed it.

　　Also，some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas: For example，it is said that rap(說唱)music was invented by a classical musician in 1912，but it is now used by young people in pop music.

　　However，young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology.To play a classical instrument，such as a violin，you need to study hard and practise for hours.Nowadays，you don’t need to get aching arms from practising.A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.
