D The Hall of Supreme Harmony's steep roof is supported by painted beams connecting 72 columns nearly 12 meters tall. 2 In the center of the building,the emperor sits on the dragon throne,the imperial seat of power. 3In the courtyard,government ministers,accompanied by family members,line up according to rank; many began waiting before dawn. 4The narrow avenue leading south is known as the Imperial Way;only the emperor can walk-or be carried-along this path. For centuries,only the emperor's family and officials could enter this fascinating hidden city.Since its opening in 1925,thousands of visitors have passed through its gates,drawn not only by the imperial city's historical importance but also by its huge size and great architecture. The site also houses an astonishing range of imperial treasures-nearly 50,000 paintings,320,000 pieces of 高二年级组初评试题第6页（共12页） porcelain,and around 1,000 precious timepieces.Ming Emperor Yongle(Zhu Di)moved his capital from Nanjing to Beijing,where he built the Forbidden City on the site of Kublai Khan's palace.Besides them there are also historical pieces from Switzerland,Britain,and the USA.

(B) High above the African plains of Uganda and Congo,the Ruwenzori Mountains have a handful of glaciers. Their melting waters feed the headwaters of the Nile,the world's longest river.Here,for hundreds of thousands of years,people have depended on the river for basic necessities:water,transportation, farming and fishing. The shrinking of the world's glaciers will have massive consequences for communities that depend on ice melt.In the short term,these consequences may appear beneficial.For example,extra water from glaciers means that hydroelectric（水力发电的）dams will n atmaximum power.In the long run, however,the melting of the earth's glaciers could be disastrou.Today's extra hydroelectic power has been stolen from the future.Communities with enough power now may have none after the glaciers have melted and have stopped filling esrvor.Likewise,water for irrigation,drinking,transportation and nuclear power iowill tothe levels provided soley by rainfall.The os ofice will inreae eveorldwide. For some,the glaciers of Africa and Central Asia may not seem very relevant to daily life.But remember,these glaciers are just the first losses in a patter that will ultimately impact the whole earth.If 高二年级组初评试题第7页（共12页） the glaciers feeding the great rivers of Europe evaporate (completely,some rivers may run dry in the summer:the Rhine,the Rhone and the Po. At the same time that temperatures have increased,precipitation (has decreased.Glaciers are no longer getting built up during the snowy winter months,so they are no longer able to maintain their size over the long run.The warming of our globe is often blamed on human activity,such as the burning of fossil fuels,especially in industrialized nations.Automobile emissions and industrial waste are also increasing the quantity of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere,possibly causing increased temperatures. However,scientists have not definitively tied human activity to the current temperature rise. Temperature change and a lack of snow is causing the retreat of the glaciers.According to many scientists,our planet is getting warmer.In the Alps,for example,temperatures have risen an average of 1-1.5 degrees Celsius since 1850.During the same period,Alpine glaciers in Switzerland have lost about half of their volume.Likewise,temperatures have changed in the Tian Shan Mountains.Researchers there have traced a small rise in temperatures,0.5 degrees Celsius,in the last 50 years.Even one half of a degree is enough to reduce glaciers dramatically over time. Now,the glaciers of the Ruwenzori are melting so rapidly that they will soon disappear.Within the next twenty or thirty years,most glaciers in Africa and South America will disappear completely.Several glaciers in the Alps have already disappeared in as few as 40 years.In the Patagonian ice fields of Argentina, some glaciers have gone down one and one-half kilometers in the last 13 years.In the Himalayan Mountains, glaciers are melting so fast that runoff sometimes floods the surrounding areas.Their fate is a preview of the future of other glaciers on the earth.

(c) The Universal Language of Love There is a universal language that is spoken by all- Both on earth and in the heavens above. It's a beautiful language that flows from the heart and it's universal name is love. The language of love uses thoughts and feelings to express what it wants to say, It's the language that we use all the time when we speak to each other every day. It's a unique language that communicates with smiles,affection and tenderness, And its unspoken words will touch our heart and fill our soul with bliss（福佑). 高二年级组初评试题第8页（共12页） The language of love is a natural gift that is truly an inspiration, And it's the only language we'll ever need to communicate with all in and beyond the nation.

Anyway,even if one wanted to,one couldn't put the clock back to an earlier age.Knowledge and techniques can't just be forgotten.Nor can one prevent further advances in the future.Even if all government money for research were cut off,the force of competition would still bring about advances in technology.Moreover,one cannot stop inquiring minds from thinking about basic science,whether or not they are paid for it. If we accept that we cannot prevent science and technology from changing our world,we can at least try to ensure that the changes they make are in the right directions.It means that the public needs to have a basic understanding of science,so that it can make informed decisions and not leave them in the hands of experts.At the moment,the public has a rather ambivalen()idea toward science.It has come to expect the steady increase in the standard of living that new developments in scieand technology have brought tocontinue,but it also distrusts science because it doesn't understand it.This distrust is evident in the cartoon figure of the mad scientist working in his laboratory to produce a Frankenstein.But the public also has a great interest in science,as is shown by the large audiences for science fiction.

But some people don't like this development-they want to go back to the 77.old times.However,the past was not as perfect as they imagined.For example,childbirth was highly risky for women.Anyway, knowledge and technology will continue to develop no matter who is against them.What we can at least do is to 78. that the changes are in the right directions.The public needs to have a basic understanding of science 79. make informed decisions.But the public often has a distrust of science because of the cartoon figures in 80.
