In Kings Canyon National Park in North America, there once was a cedar tree called "Mark Twain Tree." It was 1341 years old when it was cut down in 1891. The tree began to grow from its seed in the year of 550 A.D. and was witness to many of the major events in our history. The tree was immeasurably giant and strong, yet one of its sections is now exhibited in the American Museum of Natural History. How would you describe the tree if you actually saw it？ Imagine seeing the tree, how would it provoke your thoughts on the relationship between nature and human society？ Please write a 250-word short essay to decribe your senses and thoughts on the "Mark Twain Tree.”
Section D
听力原文： If this is a "Mandela moment" for America, there were—perhaps inevitably—few specific clues in Barack Obama's victory speech as to how that will work its way through on to the world stage. But for those who have objected to American unilateralism during the Bush years there was the commitment to listening, the promise—in Mr. 0bama's words—of a new dawn of American leadership, coupled with the pledge to defeat those who "would tear this world down".
Among the reaction from Europe, President Sarkozy said the American people had chosen "change, openness and optimism". And the European Commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, said "we need a new deal for a new world".
Iraq's foreign minister was quick to tell Mr Obama that there was "a great deal at stake" in Iraq and he did not foresee a quick US disengagement, while President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan said he hoped the election would bring peace, life and prosperity to his country.
Managing such expectations abroad, as well as at home, will clearly be one of Mr. Obama's biggest challenges.

Some "How To" books tell you how to find a job and how to succeed at it. If you fail, however, you can get a book called How to Turn Failure into Success. If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book How to Make a Million. If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called How to Live on Nothing.
One of the most popular types of books is one that helps people with their private problems. If you are unhappy with your life, you can read How to Love Every Minute of Your Life. If you are tried of books on happiness, you may prefer a book called How to Get Yourself in Trouble. There is even a hook about how to take your own life.
Why are "How To" books in great demand in the United States？
A．Because the rich do not always satisfy.
B．Because many people read books only for pleasure.
C．Because these books help Americans out of trouble.
D．Because the books meet the needs of different readers.
usually from one to ten dollars—can win a million dollars or more if your ticket is the winning
ticket.
We often envy these winners. How happy we would be, we think, if we suddenly had more than a million dollars in our bank account! How different the rest of our life would be!
It would certainly be different, but a recent study of thirty of these instant millionaires reveals a number of negative factors.
One of' the first changes they become aware of is a loss of privacy. They are harassed by letters and phone calls from people they don't know asking for money. They may have to move to another town or province. Sometimes they are afraid other members of the family will be kidnapped. Faced with all this stress, many lottery winners experience long periods of depression.
Their working life also changes. At first, most winners, intend to keep on working at the same job. But few of them do. A few years after they became wealthy, only seven of our thirty millionaires were working. Sometimes their fellow workers criticize them for working while others are unemployed and looking for a job.
The study concluded that sudden wealth will bring same measure of misery and possibly physical and mental illness to all lottery winners. Yet in spite of these negative factors, not a single winner was prepared to give the money back. Money may not bring happiness, but it allows us to be miserable in comfort.
How much money do people usually spend buying one lottery ticket？
A．Ten dollars.
B．One dollars.
C．One hundred dollars.
D．From one to ten dollars.
Residential construction now makes up more than 6% of GDP. This suggests that a 10% drop would shave some 0.6 percentage points off economic growth. A bigger question, however, is how slower prices might affect consumer spending. Experts expect that America's house prices will have stopped rising by the end of the year. Mainly because a flat market will put a brake on residential building, this is expected to reduce GDP growth by about 1.5 percentage points. "Just Reduced" might soon be a fitting label for the whole economy.
Now there is a similar challenge: global warming. The steady deterioration (恶化) of the very climate of this very planet is becoming a war of the first order, and by any measure, the U.S. is losing. Indeed, if America is fighting at all, it's fighting on the wrong side. The U.S. produces nearly a quarter of the world's greenhouse gases each year and has stubbornly made it clear that it doesn't intend to do a whole lot about it. Although 174 nations approved the admittedly flawed Kyoto accords to reduce carbon levels, the U.S. walked away from them. There are vague promises of manufacturing fuel from herbs or powering cars with hydrogen. But for a country that tightly cites patriotism as one of its core values, the U.S. is taking a pass on what might be the most patriotic struggle of all. It's hard to imagine a bigger fight than one for the survival of a country's coasts and farms, the health of its people and the stability of its economy.
The rub is, if the vast majority of people increasingly agree that climate change is a global emergency, there's far less agreement on how to fix it. Industry offers its plans, which too often would fix little. Environmentalists offer theirs, which too often amount to na; ve wish lists that could weaken America's growth. But let's assume that those interested parties and others will always be at the table and will always demand that their voices be heard and that their needs be addressed. What would an aggressive, ambitious, effective plan look like—one that would leave the U.S. both environmentally safe and economically sound？
Halting climate change will be far harder. One of the more conservative plans for addressing the problem calls for a reduction of 25 billion tons of carbon emissions over the next 52 years. And yet by devising a consistent strategy that mixes short-term solutions with far-sighted goals, combines government activism with private-sector enterprise and blends pragmatism (实用主义) with ambition, the U.S. can, without major damage to the economy, help halt the worst effects of climate change and ensure the survival of its way of life for future generations. Money will do some of the work, but what's needed most is will. "I'm not saying the challenge isn't almost overwhelming," says Fred Krupp. "But this is America, and America has risen to these challenges before."
What does the passage mainly discuss？
A．Human wars.
B．Economic crisis.
C．America's environmental policies.
D．Global environment in general.

听力原文：Richard: Hello, Bob.
Bob: Hello, Richard. How are you？
Richard: Fine, thanks, and you？
Bob: Not too bad. I'm thinking of going on holiday somewhere next month. I don't know if you've made your holiday plans yet, but if not, perhaps you'd like to come with me.
Richard: Thanks, that's very kind of you. Where are you planning to go？
Bob: I thought I might go camping in Scotland. What do you think of that？
Richard: Fine. Sounds like a good idea. And for how long—a fortnight？
Bob: Yes, I'm hoping to have two weeks' holiday next month.
Richard: Good. Well, providing I finish all my work on time, I'll be able to have two weeks' holiday, too.
Bob: Will Joyce be coming with us？
Richard: I'm not sure. Maybe. The problem is that she always gets one week's holiday, and of course she can't really afford a holiday this year.
Bob: Oh, dear! That's a pity! Well, the holiday shouldn't cost very much.
Richard: Suppose you had a lot of money, Bob, where would you like to go for a holiday？
Bob: Oh, I don't know. I think I would probably go to America or Japan.
Richard: If I had a lot of money, and 4 weeks' holiday I would go to Asia, I think, and travel.
Bob: Yes, that would be fantastic. Anyway, stop dreaming. We're going to Scotland and I hope it doesn't rain.

A．In Scotland.
B．In America.

Some of Bank of America's old magic seems to have rubbed off on New York's Citibank, perennial rival for top banking honors. Thanks to aggressive growth policies, Citicorp's assets topped Bank of America's for the first time in 1983 and by a healthy margin. Citibank has also been generating profits at a fast clip, enabling it to spend lavishly on campaigns to enter new markets -- notably Bank of America's turf in California.
The bad times Bank of America is currently facing are partly the result of the good times the bank enjoyed earlier. Based in a large and populous state and operating in a regulated environment, Bank of America thrived. Before deregulation, banks could not compete by offering savers a higher return, so they competed with convenience. With a branch at every crossroads, Bank of America was able to attract 40% of the California deposit market -- a source of high earnings when the legal maximum payable to depositors was much lower than the interest on loans.
The progressive deregulation of banking forced Bank of America to fight for its customers by offering them competitive rates. But how could this mammoth bureaucracy, with its expensive overhead, offer rates as attractive as its loaner competitors？ Pruning the establishment was foremost in the minds of Bank of America policymakers. But cutbacks have proceeded slowly. Although the bank is planning to consolidate by offering full services only in key branches, so far only about 40 branches have been closed. Cutbacks through attrition have reduced the work force from 83,000 to fewer than 73,000; wholesale layoffs, it seems, would not fit the tradition of the organization. And they would intensify the morale problems that already threaten the institution.
According to the passage, New York's Citibank ______.
A．is a dark horse in the field of banking
B．has been growing in a moderate way
C．has been making efforts to conquer the markets of Bank of America
D．has more branches than Bank of America now
European officials sent a blunt letter to Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Hason Rohany. It made clear that any efforts by Teheran to restart uranium enrichment would mean the end of talks. Prime Minister Tony Blair said at a press conference that Britain would back the punitive measures.
We certainly will support referral to the UN Security Council, if Iran breaches its undertakings and obligations. Quite how that will come about, we got to work out with our colleagues and allies, but those international rules are there for a reason, they got to be adhered to.
Iranian and European negotiators are expected to meet again in the coming weeks to discuss the impasse. The US has agreed to back the negotiations with the understanding that if they fail, the matter would go to the UN Security Council.
Which country will refer Iran to the UN Security Council if it resumes work on its nuclear program？
A．France, Britain and Germany.
B．France, Britain and America.
C．France, America and Germany.
D．America, Britain and Germany.
