拍痧棒5. 世界第70亿人在菲律宾降生!
On 31 October, 2011, a baby was born in a hospital in Manila, the
Philippines. It’s a baby girl with 5.5 pounds, and the world’s population reached
seven billion. United Nations Population Fund (基金会) staff gave a cake to the
family of newborn baby girl named Danica Camacho. The birth came a day ahead
of what the United Nations had proclaimed(公布) as The Day of 7 Billion.
The Philippines is the 12th most populous country in the world. Only 50
years ag o, the Philippines’ population stood at 27.1 million. Today they are about
95 million. That’s a 250 percent jump. Such a country waits for the baby of Mary Rose Castin, the 21-year-old wife. ―I didn’t realize there were so many people,‖ said Mary Rose when she was told that the world’s population was reaching seven billion.
The world’s population didn’t hit the 1 billion until the 19th century. But only just a hundred years later, we were 2 billion strong. Every day, 382,000 babies are born all over the world. Most of the births are in countries already struggling to feed a growing number of hungry mouths. By 2100, Earth will be welcoming its 10 billionth baby.
In the world of 7 billion, large populations necessarily need more houses. Medical care will also be a serious problem. An increasing population is an environmental problem in many countries. There is not enough space, and there is too much traffic, noise and pollution. To not act now will make the problems harder to solve later.

6.“活取熊胆”引关注！
A company, Guizhentang, has had to face a storm of criticism. The company is in
the bear bile business. They have bear farms in which bile is taken out and used in
traditional Chinese medicine and for other purposes.
Bile is a liquid that is produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder(胆囊). In
bears (and in humans too), bile is necessary to help digest fatty foods. Traditional Chinese
medicine uses bear bile to treat pain, fever and vision problems. Bile for traditional
Chinese medicine used to be collected by killing bears, but it was discovered that bear
bile could be got by keeping the bears alive and just ―milking‖ them by putting a rubber tube into the bodies of bears. Unfortunately, this is a painful process and the bears have to live a life of suffering.
Animal rights groups want this practice to stop. They say it is a cruel way to treat animals. Guizhentang disagrees. They say the practice isn’t harmful and that they are actually helping the bears. There are fewer Chinese black bears, from which the bile is taken, because human activity is taking over the forest the bears live in. The company says bear farms are a way to protect the specie
s. On the one hand, we use many types of animals for food, clothing, medicine and for medical research. On the other hand, we should know that causing animals great pain is wrong.
There are man-made substitutes (替代品) for bear bile that work just as well as the real thing, so bear farms aren’t really necessary. If Guizhentang really wants to protect the black bear, they should perhaps think about getting out of the bear bile business.

B. ②③
C. ③④
D. ①④
3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. A tube in the bodies of bears can make them die.
B. Animal rights groups are against getting the bile out of bears.
C. Guizhentang thinks bear farms are a way to protect bears.
D. Some medical research needs bear bile.
4. The underlined part ―taking over‖ can be replaced by ________.

7. 2012看“3D”伦敦奥运
The 2012 Olympic Games will take place in London. This summer, Chinese sports fans will be able to watch the
exciting games in 3-D on CCTV. When you watch 3-D movies or TV, you have to wear a special pair of glasses. The 3-D glasses make the images from the screen look like they are there in the room with you.
Three-dimensional, or 3-D, means having three dimensions (维度): width, height and depth. 3-D technology is based on the way the human brain and eyes work. Because the pupils of a person’s eyes are about 6.5cm apart, when we look at something, each eye sees it from a different angle (角度). Our eyes send the two images to our brain, and the brain puts them together. The small difference between the image from the right eye and the image from the left eye allows us to see depth.
When we view media such as pictures and television in two dimensions, each eye gets the same information. That is because the image has no real depth, and there is only one way of viewing it. So the goal of 3-D technology is to get a different image into each eye of the viewer. It uses two film projectors. One projects a left eye image and the other projects a right eye image. The 3-D glasses allow us to see a different image in each eye.
推板炉
While watching 3-D films, we feel that we are actually in the same environment as the things we’re watching. However, it also has its disadvantages. The 3-D glasses work by controlling the amount of light that reaches the eyes. It makes the screen look darker. What’s more, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3-D movies, because their brains need to work harder to ―read‖ the images.
