NewsBTuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea.Storms and huge
18、waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalus nine little islands is more than five metres above sea level. Salt water is already entering the countrys drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the countrys days are numbered.But Tuvalu
19、 is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 24cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Marks Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine t
20、imes a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking where it stands, Tuvalus rising sea level is caused by global warming.7The average global temperature has increased by almost 0. 5 centigrade degrees over the past century, and scientists expect it to rise by extra
21、 1.3 degrees over the next 100 years.Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen 10.25 cm in the last 100 years. Many scientists believe that
22、if the warming is notstopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees“ looking for somewhere to live.25.What can we infer from the seco

26、ture causes the sea level to rise.D. There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped.CThere is little doubt that humans used herbs (药草) for healing well before anything could be written about them.Many authorities recognize Hippocrates as the “father of medicine” for the European tr
27、adition. The treatment of the Hippocratic physician reflected his fundamental approach. It was the treatment of an individual, not a disease, and the treatment of the whole body, not any part of it. Treatment was based on the fundamental idea that nature had a strong healing force of its own, and th
28、at the main role of the physician was to assist nature in this healing process, rather than to direct it.The main ally of the physician in assisting nature in thisprocess was diet. Only if diet failed were drugs used, and surgery was a last 9resort.The great philosopher Aristotle was the son of a me
29、dical man and a medical man himself, but his main influence on the development of European medicine was through his student，Theophrastus, called the“father of botany (植物学)”. He was the first known author in Europe of a classification system for plants with accompanying comments about their medicinal
30、 value.He described about 450 different medicinal plants. However, this text has not come down through history,and is only noted in later commentaries.The first document of herbal medicine that is regarded as a medical classic in the European tradition was De Materia Medica by Dioscorides. Dioscorid
31、es was a surgeon working in the army. He travelled far, collected much information, and gained considerable medical experience. Dioscorides had recorded herb knowledge for 600 plants. The books pictures were considered the only authoritative ones for European medicinal plants for over 1，000 years. T
32、he work was translated into English in 1655, and continued to be the primary reference on European herbs.Greek medicine continued to improve for several decades after Dioscorides, but it eventually began to stagnate29The treatment of the Hippocratic physician _Ausually didnt function wellBtended to
33、replace diet with drugsCwas based on the healing power of natureDrelied heavily on surgery30What can we learn about Theophrastus from the passage?AHe was a student of Hippocrates.BHe is known as the “father of medicine” CHe used a system to classify plants.DHe wrote a text that was proved wrong by l

The importance
35、 of herbs.B. Important figures in the history of Greek medicine.C. Important philosophers of Greece.D. Useful medicinal books about herbs.DAnybody whos noticed so many sweaty Sundaymorning photos on the Internet must think that marathons have recently regained popularity. According to Running USA, a
36、n organization that tracks the sports growth, 52 percent of runners today track themselves with some sort of GPSenabled device, like a smartphone or a fitness tracker. This statistic has likely played a role in runnings growing appealthe easily available tracking information has attracted people to
37、the sport，and kept them going, for its possible for anyone to see in real time how its affecting their bodies.Today, free smartphone apps can give runners information on things like the number and length of their steps, their heart rate, even the estimated volume of oxygen they consume per minute. A
38、ll this information can act as a reward and a motivator for the runner. “Its one thing to hear encouragement from a coach.” Bryan Boyle, editor of Runners World magazine, explains. “Its quite another, however, to appreciateat a glanceprogress made during weeks and months of running.”But runtracking
39、technology doesnt just help runners train harder. It also gives them the power to train more intelligently. Recreational runners today no longer have to guess how far or how fast theyve run, or what their body is doing. If they can monitor their heart rate, they can make sure theyre hitting the most
40、 strategic pace on each run, which can signiticantly increase their chances of having a positive experience on the course during race day.11No matter how much technology can promote the experience of running, though, many runners argue that the biggest benefit of the sport remains the chance to get
41、outdoors，away from the computer, for an hour. “Theres so much more to experience， ” adds Boyle. “fresh air, travel, shoot, just overall feeling better. Theres no app for that.”33We can infer from the first paragraph that _Apeople enjoy posting sports pictures on the InternetBRunning USA plays a key
