• 2．For years，scientists and others concerned about climate change have been talking about the need for carbon capture and storage （CCS）.
     That is the term for removing carbon dioxide from，say，a coal-burning power plant's smokestack and pumping it deep underground to keep it out of the atmosphere，where it would otherwise contribute to global warming.
     However，currently，only one power plant in Canada captures and stores carbon on a commercial scale （and it has been having problems）.Among the concerns about storage is that carbon dioxide in gaseous or liquid form that is pumped underground might escape back to the atmosphere.So storage sites would have to be monitored，potentially for decades or centuries.
     But scientists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and other institutions have come up with a different way to store CO₂ that might eliminate that problem.Their approach involves dissolving the gas with water and pumping the resulting mixture — soda water，essentially — down into certain kinds of rocks，where the CO₂ reacts with the rock to form a mineral called calcite（方解石）.By turning the gas into stone，scientists can lock it away permanently.Volcanic rocks called basalts（玄武巖） are excellent for this process，because they are rich in calcium，magnesium and iron，which react with CO2.
     The project called CarbFix started in Iceland，2012，when the scientists pumped about 250 tons of carbon dioxide，mixed with water，about 1，500 feet down into porous basalt.Early signs were encouraging：The scientists found that about 95 percent of the carbon dioxide was changed into calcite.And even more importantly，they wrote，the change happened relatively quickly — in less than two years.
     "It's beyond all our expectations，" said Edda Aradottir，who manages the project.Rapid change of the CO₂ means that a project would probably have to be monitored for a far shorter time than a more conventional storage site.
     There are still concerns about whether the technology will prove useful in the fight against global warming.For one thing，it would have to be scaled up enormously.For another，a lot of water is needed — 25 tons of it for every ton of CO₂ — along with the right kind of rock.
     But the researchers say that there is enough porous basaltic rock in Iceland，including in the ocean floors and along the margins of continents.And sitting a storage project in or near the ocean could potentially solve the water problem at the same time，as the researchers say seawater would work just fine.
  
  （1）What can we learn about CCS in Paragraphs 2 and 3？

  
  A．Scientists believe global warming will be avoided if CO₂ is pumped underground.
  B．It's been a common practice in many plants to capture and store CO₂ underground.
  C．There is no guarantee that CO₂ will not escape even if pumped underground.
  D．It requires decades to turn CO₂ into liquid form and be locked underground.
  （2）What materials should be involved in the project CarbFix？

  
  A．Water，CO₂，soda water and basalts
  B．W ater，soda water，a pump and calcite
  C．CO₂，basalts，a pump and calcite
  D．Water，CO₂，a pump and basalts
  （3）According to Edda Aradottir，the result of the project was beyond the researchers' expectations，because

  .
  A．it's disappointing to discover new problems caused by rapid change
  B．it's amazing to see 95% of the carbon dioxide turn into calcite that fast
  C．it's puzzling to find the encouraging but unexpected result of the project.
  D．it's exciting to sense the problem of storing CO₂ likely to be solved
  （4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage？

  
  A．To inform us of a breakthrough in storing CO₂.
  B．To praise the efforts of scientists in storing CO₂.
  C．To show the different ways to fight against CO₂.
  D．To urge people to produce the least possible CO₂.

• 3．How do you spend your time？To get it，Paul T．Rankin asked sixty-eight individuals to keep an accurate，detailed record of what they did every minute of their waking hours．He discovered that 70 percent of their waking time was spent on one thing only - communication．Put that evidence alongside the research findings uncovered the Human Engineering Laboratories，they discovered that，vocabulary，more than findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories，they discovered that，vocabulary，more than any other factor yet known，predicts financial success，New words make us better thinkers as well as communicators．What's better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary？But how？
     Hybrid（雜交產(chǎn)生的）corn combines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity，A hybrid approach to vocabulary should，in the same way，ensure maximum results．That's why you should use the CPD formula．
     Through Context．When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading，84 percent said，"Look it up in the dictionary．"If you do，however，you short-circuit the very mental processes needed to make your efforts most productive．
     But there's another reason．Suppose someone asks you what the word"fast"means，You answer， "speedy or swift"But does it mean that in such context as "fast color"or "fast friend"？And if a horse is fast，is it securely tied or galloping at top speed？It could be either．It all depends．On the dictionary？No，on the context．After all，there are over twenty different meanings for"fast"in the dictionary．But the dictionary doesn't tell you which meaning is intended．That's why it makes such good to begin with context．
     Through Word Parts．Now for the next step．Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts，which，if recognized，provide definite help with meaning．Take the word"monolithic"for example．Try to separate the parts．There is the prefix mono-，meaning"one"，and the root-lith，meaning "stone"．Finally，there's the suffix-ic，meaning"consisting of"．Those three parts add up to this definition："consisting of one stone"．
     To speed up your use of word parts，you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in the English language．The prefix and root elements in those few words are found in over 14，000 words．With those amazingly useful shortcuts，you can build up vocabulary，not at a snail's pace，one word at a time，but in giant leaps，up to a thousand words at a time．
     Through the Dictionary．Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last，not first．You've looked carefully at the context．You've looked for familiar word parts．Now you play Sherlock Homes．In light of context or word parts，you try to solve a mystery．What exactly does that strange word mean？Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to come up with a tentative（不確定的）definition should you open the dictionary to see if you're right．
     You are now personally involved．Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both word and meaning．It also encourages your development of the habits needed to accelerate your progress．And when you see in black and white the definition you had expected，what a feeling of accomplishment is yours．In that way，the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximum effectiveness．
     Well，there it is，your new formula-Context，Parts，Dictionary．Use it!The results will be like the money in the bank．

      The volcanic eruption is one of the most surprising and frightening force on our planet.Maybe you have seen pictures of these " fireworks " of the nature.Sometimes when a volcano erupts，a very large wall of melting rock moves down the side of a mountain.It looks like a " river of fire".Sometimes volcanoes explode，throw the melted rock and ashes highly into the air.But where does the melted rock come from？
      The earth consists of many layers （層），of which the top layer what we can see is called the crust（地殼）.On the crust are many layers of hard rock.Far beneath the crust the rock is very hot that it is soft and even melts.The melted rock is called magma.Sometimes the magma breaks out the cracks （裂縫） in the crust.These cracks are volcanoes.Therefore，a volcano is simply the opening in the earth from where the magma escapes.
