Australia said on Friday that it had done enough to prevent the UN from listing the Great Barrier

Reef（大堡礁），the world’s biggest coral reef ecosystem（生态系统），as being‘in danger’·

The Great Barrier Reef covers an area of 348，000 square kilometers off Australia’s east coast and

contains some 2，500 smalll reefs．Its width ranges between 60 and 250 kilometers．It is a collection of

more than 2 , 900 coral reefs，600 continental islands，and thousands of sea species（物种），making it

one of the world’s most complex and varied ecosystems．

It was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1981 ．But in 2011 UNESCO declared“extreme concern”at the approval of natural gas processing and port facilities（设施）within the site and afterwards warned the

reef could be considered“in danger”．

Worried about planned coastal developments，including ports，UNESCO is set to announce overnight

a draft decision on the site，which is rich in sea life．

“They can see we are doing real work to improve the reef，”Environment Minister Greg Hunt told

the Australian Broadcasting Corporation．“I firmly believe that we’re making once in a century changes

to ensure that a century from now，the reef won’t just be as it is，but will be better and stronger than it

has been since European settlement．”

Australia has recently ordered a ban on the century-old practice of emptying dredge waste（施工垃

圾）一which environmentalists s盯makes corals and seagrasses die because of lack of air一across most

of the reef，and funded efforts to improve water quality．

Queensland State，the gateway to the reef，has also promised to introduce laws to limit port develop-

ment as it balances environmental concerns with the needs of the resources industry．

21 ．The data about the Great Barrier Reef in Paragraph 2 are used to＿·

A. explore its inner beauty B. SHOW its unique ecosystem

C ．represent its natural wonders D．stress its huge area of waters

22 ．What can be inferred from Greg Hunt’s words？

A ．Much remains to be done for Australia to save the Reef.

D ．Australia has done too much to protect the Reef .

23 ．What might cause the Great Barrier Reef“in danger”？

A ．Sudden climate change ． B ．The coastal construction·

C ．The polluted corals and seagrasses．D．The approval of natural gas processing·

The world’s premier spelling bee ended Thursday in the U．S．for a second year in a row after an in-

tense lo-round showdown between two young competitors to deal with some of the English language’s

most obscure（生僻的）words.

Vanya }hlvaShankar，13，and Gokul Venkatachalam，14，together raised the gold trophy（奖杯）in the 88th Scripps National Spelling Bee．

Shivashankar，the sister of 2009 champion Kavya Shivashankar，initially gathered confidence as she

went easily through such words as cytopoiesis，bouquetiere and thamakau．Venkatachalam，a basketball

fan，also managed such tongue-twisters as poblacion，caudillismo and nixtamal．

But as their eight fellow finalists failed one by one，the tension grew until they stood alone on stage·

When Shivashankar，in the fourteenth round，correctly spelled scherenschnitte，the German一derived（源自德语的）word for artistic paper cutting, official bee pronouncer Jacques Bailly, broke the news to．

Venkatachalam．

The contest，Bailly said，was about to run out of words，and if Venkatachalam spelled his next word

correctly，he and his rival（对手）would be declared joint winners一a repeat of last year’s surprise．

The winning word came so easily to the eighth-grader from the branch St．Louis，Missouri suburb of

Chesterfield that he skipped the bee contestant’s routine of asking for the word’s origin，meaning and

usage in a sentence·

“N一u一n一a一t一a一k，”the devoted LeBron James fan said，spelling the Inuit-derived word for an icy island as easily as if he was spelling d一。-g or c-a-t．

Asked afterwards what went through his mind upon hearing the word，Venkatachalam frankly re-

plied：“Me and Vanya are going to be champions．”

24 ．How many contestants took part in the final？

A. Only two. B. Four. C. Eight. D. Ten.

25 ．It can be inferred from the passage that

A ．last year’s spelling bee also ended in a tie

B ．Kavya Shivashankar was last year’s champion

C ．the spelling bee is held every two years

D ．the pronouncer decides the contest result

26 ．The underlined word“the eighth-grader” refers to

A. Vanya Shivashankar B. Gokul Venkatachalam

C. Kavya Shivashankar D. Jacques Bailly

27 ．Joint winners of the contest were made because

A ．Vanya and Gokul were equal to each other

B ．it was previously planned by the organizer

C ．producers and sponsors made the final decision

D ．there’s no more word prepared for contestants to spell

C

Are you sitting down？In that case，you should probably stand up before reading this．

In the first advice of its kind，British experts are recommending office workers stand for at least two

hours。day，in a warning against the dangers of prolonged sitting（久坐）．The，idelines（指导方针）

were developed by a group of experts invited by Public Health England and an advocacy（倡议）脚up

·and were published online Monday in Sports Medicine．

Compared to those of smoking，people who sit the most have more than twice the risk of developing

Type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）and cardiovascular(心血管的）disease，．a 13 percent increased risk of cancer

and a 17 percent increased risk of premature death（夭折），compared to those who sit the least．

“Even if you’re meeting your physical activity guidelines，you cannot get rid of the risks of pro-

longed sitting，”said Uavin Bradley，director of the campaign group Get Britain Standing，one of the au-

thors of the new guidance ．Bradley，who spoke during a telephone interview while walking，said officials

figure out the average Briton sits for more than half of their working hours．His group is expanding its

campaign to other countries including the U．S．on Tuesday and is pushing for more people to have access

to a desk that allows them to stand．

“Companies should reconsider the culture around taking regular breaks and think about whether

meetings could be held standing up or walking，”said Bradley．“We’ve sat on this problem for far too

long·”

28 ．The passage is mainly written to＿ ·

A ．advocate people to stand more B ．persuade people to ．take daily exercise

C ．warn people against the risks of sitting D．introduce the findings of
