31、 and animals, weapons, boats and other subjects)but also for their cultural and chronological unity. They reveal the life and beliefs of people in Europe thousands of years ago and are remarkable for their large numbers and outstanding quality.The area in Tanum consists of more than 350 highly varie
32、d groups of carvings spread out over the flat rock. They are interpreted as primitive symbolic art with motifs and positioning carefully planned by the people who carved these works.Olympic National Park(North America)Located in the north-west of Washington State, Olympic National Park is famous for
33、 the diversity(多样性) of its ecosystems. Glacier-clad peaks covered with extensive alpine meadows protected temperature rainforest in the pacific Northwest. Eleveb major river system drain(排水)the Olympic mountains, offering some of the best habitat for various fish species in the country. The park als
34、o includes 100 km of wilderness coastline, the longest undeveloped coast in the contiguous（接壤的） United States, and is rich in native animal and plant species, including northern spotted owl, marbled murrelet and bull trout.Town of Bamberg(Europe)From the 10th century on, this town became an importan

During its period of greatest prosperity（繁荣）,from the 12th century onwards, the architecture of Bamberg strongly influenced northern Germany and hungary. In the late 18th century it was the centre of the Enlightenment in souther

39、The underlined word “eminent” probably means”_”.A. famous B. old C. foolish D. rich BGlobal warming is when the earth heats up, the temperature rises. It happens when greenhouse gases -carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the earths atmosphere,
40、which increases the temperature. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it cant get back out. Once the light is insid
41、e the car, it is trapped and the heat builds up, just like it does in the earths atmosphere. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it cant get out. As a result, the temperature rises.Sometimes the temperature can change in a way
42、that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on. Without it, the earth would be freezing, or on the other hand it would be burning hot. We would not get the suns heat and light to make the night somewhat warm. During the day, especially during the summer, it wo
43、uld be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter it, so people, plants, and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it, if there gets to be too many gases, the earth can get unusually warme
44、r, and many plants, animals, and people will die. They would die because there would be less food (plants like corn, wheat, and other vegetables and fruits). This would happen because the plants would not be able to take the heat. This would cause us to have less food to eat, but it would also limit
45、 the food that animals have. Gradually, people, plants, and animals would all die of hunger. People are doing many things to try to stop global warming. One thing people are doing is carpooling. Carpooling is driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. This minimizes the amount of gr
46、eenhouse gases put into the air by a car.Another thing that people are doing is being more careful about leaving things turned on like the television, computer, and the lights. A lot of people are taking time away from the television, and instead, they are spending more time outdoors. This helps our
47、 planet out a lot. Now, more people are even riding buses, walking to school, and riding their bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air.Planting trees and recycling also help. If you recycle, less trash goes to the dump, and less trash gets burned. As a result, there are fewer greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Although
