The National Park Service in the United States will mark its one hundredth anniversary in 2020.As it nears its second century,the Park Service plans to increase its educational programs for students and teachers.
The plans include transportation support for one hundred thousand students each year to visit national parks to learn about nature and history.Yellowstone is believed to have been the world’s first national park when it was established in 1872.Other students will get a chance to see parks in faraway places through Skype and other online programs.
The National Park Service also works with partners to provide education.One of its partners is a nonprofit organization called NatureBridge.NatureBridge is celebrating its fortieth anniversary and says one million young people have taken part in its programs.The organization works with students from kindergarten through twelfth grade and uses national parks as its classrooms.It provides field science programs at Yosemite National Park and four other locations in California and the northwestern state of Washington.
Now,NatureBridge is launching an East Coast center with a four-million-dollar grant from Google.The program will begin in April at the Prince William Forest Park in Virginia.Students stay for three to five days in NatureBridge programs.The activities are aimed at developing their science skills.For example,they learn about different soils and study water quality under a microscope.Jason Morris,executive vice president of NatureBridge says when they are not sleeping,eating or in a laboratory,the students spend their time outdoors.
Julia Washburn is associate director of education and interpretation for the National Park Service.She says in a time of budget cuts,the agency has to find ways to still meet its goals.And one of the most important services that the Park Service provides every day is nature interpretation.

Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists(考古學(xué)家) says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2020 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.
“Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write.
The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2020 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.
The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.
Before 2020, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.
Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said: “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”
The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.
47. According to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because _______.
A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remains
B. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research
C. it was introduced by the government without their knowledge
D. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains
48. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.
B. Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.
C. Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.
D. Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.
49. What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?
A. The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains.
B. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.
C. The law on human remains hasn’t changed in recent decades.
D. The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.
50. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.
B. Research time should be extended, scientists require.
C. Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.
D. Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn.

Many of us dream of having thousands and thousands of dollar to spend on what we desire
We can buy lottery tickets, enter contests or spend hours building a business or invest in the
stock market. We are sure that when we have plenty of money, we will be happy
While having some money does have an impact on our level of happiness, having a lot of
money does not. It is reported that Americans whose income goes from $20,000 a year to $50,000
a year are more likely to be happy. But beyond $50,000, happiness does not increase as salaries
go up. It is because we are never satisfied. Catherine Sanderson, a psychology professor at
Amherst College says, "We always think if we just had a little more money, we’d be happier. But
when we get there, we are not."
Daniel Gilbert, a psychology professor at Harvard notes,"The more you make, the more you
want. The more you have, the less it brings you joy. We incorrectly assume we’Il get more
pleasure from more, and we don’t."
The things money can buy don't make you happy either. A lot of research suggests that you
won't find the "good life" buying expensive "toys". You finally buy that BMW you've always
wanted and it soon loses its appeal. Then, instead of wondering if a new car is what really makes
you happy, you decide you just need a different new car. It is an endless cycle.
To really be happy, you need to understand what makes you happy in the first place. One
secret of happiness is people. Surveys have found that people need people. Those who have five or
more close friends are 50% more likely to describe themselves as "very happy". Good relationships
have a far greater effect on happiness than larger salary. Andrew Oswald, an economist at
England's University of Warwick says, "B you are looking for happiness in life, find the right
husband or wife rather than trying to double your salary."
So invest your time and energy in people. The reward is much bigger in terms of happiness!
31.In Paragraph 1 the author intends to tell us the "belief" that
A. we are unhappy because we often lack money
B. people can buy what they want if they have enough money
C. more money will make one's dreams come true
D. happiness will result from more money
32. Which of the following statements would the author agree to?
A. Having some money brings happiness to some degree.
B. The more money one earns, the sadder one becomes
C. Buying expensive things will surely bring pleasure
D. We get nothing from buying expensive things we want.
33. Why does happiness not increase with pay rises?
A. Most of us have a psychological problem. B. People are not content with what they get.
C. It is human nature to be unhappy. D. Happiness has nothing to do with money.
34. In order to find happiness we should
A. always make new friends B. take no notice of our salaries
C. focus on good relationships D. invest our money in our friend

Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and
now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and
potentially harming sea life.
Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific
Ocean for almost two decades. "We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we
try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things
that we measure is COx levels. And We've been able to record this increasing quantity of
atmospheric CO, into the ocean. "Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and一
more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of
the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.
"As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid,
carbonic acid," Dore explains. "And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes
up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more
acidic."
The seawater samples Dow and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts.
The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and
his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up
CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.
"It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have
negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It’s potentially catastrophic."
35. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Sea Life Facing Danger B. Scientist Researching Seawater
C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic D. Climate Change Affecting Seawater
36. With the increase of atmospheric C02,_.
A. more corals will appear in the sea
B. the surface water is becoming warmer
C. the chemical balance of the seawater is affected

37. Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric C02 on sea life?
a. Sea life is endangered. b. C02 goes into the surface water.
c. The ocean chemistry is affected. d. C02 levels in the atmosphere go up
e. C02 decreases the pH and makes the seawater more acidic.
A. abcde B. dbcea C. aebed D. edcba
38. Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on_.
A. his research and analysis B. the expectation of other scientists
C. some former theory D. a major cause of climate change
