A

The weather affects all of us in some way. For several years， researchers have been studying groups of people who become depressed when the seasons change. These people suffer from a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Some people have a very slight form， which does not disturb their life too much. Other people have a serious form， and they are not able to function well when the seasons change.

Millions of people have SAD in some form. It affects about four times as many women as men， usually adults between the ages of twenty and forty years old. However， even school children can be affected by SAD. There are more cases of SAD among people who live in countries with a colder climate.

The most common form of SAD occurs in winter， when the days get shorter. The reason is that there is not as much bright sunlight in winter. Changes in seasons and weather cause chemical reactions in the brain that can affect our acts and feelings. For example， in winter， some people feel tired all the time and less interested in social activities. Others tend to overeat and gain weight. Difficulty with attention and work is also typical symptom. People with warm and pleasant winter blues probably don’t need medical treatment. A long walk in the middle of the day usually helps and so do bright lights in the home and office. Special lights that provide man-made sunlight can be bought and are also helpful.

Although it is less common， some people suffer from summer seasonal disorder. It is thought that strong heat and humidity cause the problems. Symptoms include nervousness， sleeplessness， loss of the appetite and weight， and a lack of energy. There are not many ways to treat summer depression except for staying in an air-conditioned room.

Global warming is causing hundreds of species to die off or change more quickly than scientists thought， a new study shows.

At least 70 species of frogs have died out because of climate change， according to a new study which also reports that between 100 and 200 cold-dependent animal species， such as polar bears， are in serious danger.

University of Texas biologist Camille Parmesan looked at 866 studies and saw animal populations moving north to cooler climates. She also saw species changing because of climate change， plants flowering earlier than usual and an increase in pests.

Parmesan said she worried most about cold-weather species. Emperor penguins have dropped from 300 breeding（生育）pairs to just 9 in the western Antarctic Peninsula. Polar bears are dropping in number and weight in the Arctic.

“Populations of animals that adapt better to warmth or can move and live farther north are managing better than other populations in the same species，” she said.

Last week， leaders from more than 180 nations met in Nairobi， Kenya to discuss global warming at the United Nations climate meeting. Leaders agreed to take a new look at the Kyoto Protocol， an energy agreement， by 2008. The goal will be to set new rules on the release（釋放）of carbon dioxide and other gases after the Kyoto Protocol becomes out of date in 2012.

Germany’s Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel said the timeline set at the meeting is too long. “Immediate action is necessary，” he said.

67. Which of the following deals most ineffectively with global warming?

A. Cold-weather species.B. Warm-weather species.

C. Pests and flowering plants.D. Black bears.

68. Because of global warming animals in Australia will probably move ＿＿＿ .

A. northB. south

C. eastD. west

69. A type of species can manage to live by ＿＿＿ .

A. staying where it isB. getting used to warmth

C. becoming cold-dependentD. giving birth to more babies

70. What decision has been made at the United Nations climate meeting held last week?

A. Necessary immediate action will be taken.

B. New rules have been set on the release of harmful gases.

C. The Kyoto Protocol will be reviewed by 2008.

D. The Kyoto Protocol should come to an end in 2013.

第一節(jié) 任務(wù)型讀寫（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）

For more than twenty years scientists have been seeking to understand the mystery of the “sixth sense” of direction. By trying out ideas and solving problems one by one， they are now getting closer to one answer.

One funny idea is that animals might have a built-in compass.

Our earth itself is a big magnet（磁體）. So a little magnetic needle that swings freely lines itself with the big earth magnet to point north and south. When people discovered that idea about a thousand years ago and invented the compass， it allowed sailors to navigate（航海）on ocean voyages， even under cloudy skies.

Actually the idea of the living compass came just from observing animals in nature.

Many birds migrate twice a year between their summer homes and winter homes. Some of them fly for thousands of kilometers and mostly at night. Experiments have shown that some birds can recognize star patterns. But they can keep on course even under cloudy skies. How can they do that?

A common bird that does not migrate but is great at finding its way home is the homing pigeon. Not all pigeons can find their way home. Those that can are very good at it， and they have been widely studied.

One interesting experiment was to attach little magnets to the birds’ heads to block their magnetic sense—just as a loud radio can keep you from hearing a call to dinner. On sunny days， that did not fool the pigeons. Evidently they can use the sun to tell which way they are going. But on cloudy days， the pigeons with magnets could not find their way. It was as if the magnets had blocked their magnetic sense.

Similar experiments with the same kind of results were done with honeybees. These insects also seem to have a special sense of direction.

In spite of the experiments， the idea of an animal compass seemed pretty extraordinary. How would an animal get the magnetic stuff for a compass?

An answer came from an unexpected source. A scientist was studying bacteria that live in the mud of ponds and marshes. He found accidentally little rod-like bacteria that all swam together in one direction—north.

Further study showed that each little bacterium had a chain of dense particles inside， which proved magnetic. The bacteria had made themselves into little magnets that could line up with the earth’s magnet.

The big news was that a living thing， even a simple bacterium， can make magnetite. That led to a search to see whether animals might have it. By using a special instrument called magnetometer， scientists were able to find magnetite in bees and birds， and even in fish. In each animal， except for the bee， the magnetic stuff was always in or close to the brain.

Thus， the idea of a built-in animal compass began to seem reasonable.

The Magnetic Sense—The Living Compass

Passage outlineSupporting details

The existence of the earth magnet and the invention of the navigating compass◇Our earth is a big magnet and a little freely 71 magnetic needle lines itself with the earth magnet to point north and south.

◇ 72 on the idea above， the navigating compass was invented.

The possibility of birds’ built-in compasses◇One piece of evidence is the 73 of many birds between their summer homes and winter homes.

◇Birds can recognize star patterns on clear nights and keep on course 74 under cloudy skies.

The 75 on pigeons’ and bees’ built-in compasses◇Little magnets were tied to the pigeons’ heads to 76 their magnetic sense.

◇The pigeons’ magnetic sense seemed to be affected on 77 days.

◇Similar things with the same results were done with bees.

The 78 of the magnetic stuff for the animal compass◇Little rod-like bacteria were found by chance to swim together in the direction of 79 .

◇Some animals had a chain of dense magnetic particles in or close to the 80 inside their bodies.
