Passage One: Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage．
Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday .
Among the report’s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings—a German fertilizer described itself as “ earthworm friendly”, a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”.
?? The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.
“ While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder .
The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain. Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.
The report focused on claims made by specific products , such as detergent (洗涤剂), insect sprays and by some garden products . It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999.
Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.
“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,” said report researcher Philip Page.
“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.” he said.
The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.” said Page.
1. According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ______
A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standards
B) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceiving
C) consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claim
D) few products actually prove to be environment friendly
2. As indicated in this passage , with so many good claims , the consumers ___
A) are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buy
B) are still not willing to pay more for products with green labeling
C) are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environment
D) still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment
3. A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to _______
A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standards
B) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buy
C) examine claims made by products against ISO standards
D) revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization
4. What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?
A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems
B) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false
C) They could arouse widespread anger among consumer
D) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t need
5. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to ____.
A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirements
B) see all household products meet environmental standards
C) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green products
D) verify the efforts of non-polluting products?
Passage Two Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage．
Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) (ANWR) to help secure America’s energy future ? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that drilling ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide the country’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.
The oil industry goes with the high end of the range---16 billion barrels, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall（意外之财）in tax revenues, royalties(开采权使用费)and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant . “We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.” says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan .
Not so fast, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates---3 billion barrels, environmentalists says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output – and just 3% of the nation’s.
6. What does President Bush think of drilling oil in ANWR?
A) It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.
B) It will help secure the future of ANWR.
C) It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports
D) It will increase America’s energy consumption
7. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry _______
A) believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high output
B) tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oil
C) shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWR
D) expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia?
8. Environmentalists argue that _________
A) it can cause serious damage to the environment
B) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problems
C) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan region
D) it will not have much commercial value
9. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast” (Line 1, Para .3)?
A) Oil exploitation takes a short time C) Don’t be too optimistic
B) The oil drilling should not be delayed D) Don’t expect lot of benefits.
10. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozen earth ______.
A) remains an unsettled problem C) involves a lot of technological problems
B) is expected to get under way soon D) will enable the U.S. to be oil independent?

Passports
If you’ve ever traveled outside the United States，one of the most important tasks you had to complete before your trip was applying for a passport．A copy of your original birth certificate may suffice for short trips to Mexico or the Caribbean，say on a cruise (乘船游览)．But，generally speaking，want to see the world，you have to have a passport—the only universally accepted form of identification．
What Exactly Is a Passport and How Long Has It Been Around?
Passports have been around in some form for hundreds of years．Governments learned long ago that an official document or certification—one that identified a traveler as a citizen or national with a right to protection while abroad and a right to return to the country of his citizenship – is a necessity．Passports，letters of transit and similar documents were used for centuries to allow individuals to travel safely in foreign lands，but the adoption of the passport by all nations is a development of the 19th and，20th centuries．According to State Department historians，except for brief periods-during wartime，passports were not generally required for travel abroad and few obstacles were presented by foreign states' passport requirements until after1914．An executive order made on Dec．15，1915，required every person entering or leaving the United States to have a valid passport．
In the United States，passports are issued upon application to U．S．citizens by the State Department and its 13 passport agencies in major cities，by the clerks of federal and certain state courts，certain designated (指定的)post offices and by U．S．consular authorities abroad．The passport is required for both departure from and re-entry to the United States．It is valid for 10years for adults and five years for people under 18．A U．S．passport cannot simply be renewed but must be completely replaced when it expires．
Applying for a Passport
You can find passport applications at any regional passport agency or at designated post offices or clerk of court offices．Today，you can even download and print your own passport applications．However，you still have to go in person to apply for your first passport．
You should apply for your passport several months in advance of your planned departure，making sure you fill in the dates of your upcoming trip in the appropriate place on the application．If you'll need visas from foreign embassies，allow more time．
As a rule，it takes about 25 business days to process your passport application and get the document sent to you．Something to think about：Lines are longest at passport agencies from January to July，resulting in longer waiting times for applicants．You might want to avoid the crowds by applying through a nearby clerk of court or post office that accepts passport applications．
The passport agency processes expedited (加快)passports within three working days from receipt of the application．If you choose not to pay for overnight mail，you should receive your passport in 7—10 business days．You can also expedite passport renewal2 and you can do it by mail．
Does Everybody Have to Apply in Person?
The State Department’s Passport Agency says you must apply in person for a U．S．passport if you meet any of the following descriptions：
You are 13 or older and are applying for a U．S．passport for the first time．
Your previous passport was lost or stolen．
Your previous passport has expired and was issued more than 12 years ago．
You are applying for a passport for a child under age 12．
Applying in Person
Applying for a passport is not really difficult—it just requires following very specific rules．Follow these steps and you’ll have all your bases covered：
1．Complete application Form DSP.11一 but Do NOT sign the form until you are instructed to do so by the passport agent．
2．Present proof of U．S．citizenship：
Previous U．S．passport
Certified birth certificate issued by the city，county or state．
Consular report of birth abroad
Naturalization certificate
Certificate of citizenship
One more thing：Even though your Social Security card is not required by the passport application，it does ask for your Social Security number．
What Happens to My Passport Application After I Submit It?
If you apply at a passport acceptance facility，like the post office，the same day that you apply，your application will be sent：to Passport Services for processing，and you will receive your passport by first class mail within six weeks．If you apply at a passport agency，you will receive your passport within five weeks by first class mail．Your passport will be sent to the mailing address you provided on your application．
How Much Will My Passport Cost?
When you consider its importance and how long it lasts，a passport：is a pretty good deal．For routine services，passports for adults 1 6 and older cost$60．Those age 15 and younger pay a total of $40．
If you were born outside the United States and your citizenship has not yet been determined or if the passport agent considers your case “complex，” getting a passport will cost more．As we discussed earlier，expediting an application will also cost more．
Can I Have My Old Passport Back?
Yes! Most people view their passports as important memorabilia and are eager to get them back．That’s why your previous passport，marked “canceled，” will be returned to you with your new one．
Lost or Stolen Passport
Losing your passport --especially if you’re in a foreign country --can be scary．It’s the most important item you carry with you，so：it’s best to keep it someplace secure．Another safety measure you can take is to make two photocopies of the photo ID page of your passport．Leave one at home with family or friends and keep the other in a different place from your passport，perhaps buried in the bottom of checked luggage．This could make all the difference in getting you on your flight home in the event that your passport is lost or stolen．It also makes getting it replaced much easier．
You’ll want to report the loss of your passport as “soon as possible． You can actually report a lost or stolen passport at the same time you apply for the new one．At that time．you will submit，a DSP-64， “Statement Regarding Lost or Stolen Passport” form．You’ll also need to fill out a Form DSP.11 passport application and submit it in person along with appropriate documentation and fees，to your nearest passport acceptance facility．
1．A passport is the only universally accepted form of identification around the world．
2．In the United Sates，the passport is valid for 10 years for people under 18．
3．If you are over 13 and are applying for a U．S．passport for the first time，you have to apply in person．
