And anyone 20who has watched radical reforms in the real world has to be wary of them: Invariably, they take a long time and cost a great deal, and even sothey fail more often than they succeed. The best and most natural changes e not in wholesale gulps, but in small bites.3025 What the thinkbig reformers fail to acknowledge is that schools all over the country are changing all the time. From headstart programs to afterschool big brother/big sister projects to selfesteem workshops, it’s precisely these smallscale innovations and demonstration programs that are doing the job, in thousands of schools. Some of these efforts are only partly successful。Topic 2 勘探開發(fā)類普光氣田位于四川省，面積1116平方千米，天然氣資源量8916億立方米，是我國(guó)第一個(gè)超百億立方米高含硫（sulfur）大氣田，同時(shí)是亞洲第一、世界第二大高含硫天然氣凈化廠，超深、高含硫、地處復(fù)雜山地等特點(diǎn)，使得其鉆井工作難度巨大。在一些地方，你可以借盡可能多的書，但是在其他一些圖書館會(huì)在幾個(gè)星期內(nèi)會(huì)限制借一定數(shù)量的書，這樣你就可以有足夠的時(shí)間完成讀書。s first ultra billion cubic meters of high sulfur gas field (sulfur), is also the first in Asia，但是你只能在這里使用這些書。Part B WritingDirections: In Part B, you are going to write an and an essay as required.1.

One reason for hopes lies in the nature of human intellectual acplishment. A hundred years ago, the idea of a man on the moon, or 5of the Internet remained in the realm of science fiction. Yet we have seen those things and much more. So, now that we have finally faced up to the terrible damage we have inflicted on our environment, we are working overtime to find technological solutions. But technology alone is not enough. We must engage with our hears also.10 Even panies once known only for profits are having a change of heart. Conoco, the energy pany, worked with the Jane GoodallInstitute (.) in Congo to build a sanctuary for orphaned chimpanzees. Another reason for hope is the resilience of nature—if it is given a 15helping hand. Fifteen years ago, the forest outside Gombe National Park in Tanzania were virtually eliminated. More people lived there than the land could support. . initiated the Lake Tanganyika Catchment Reforestation and Education Project, a program active in 33 villages around the park. Today people improve their lives through20environmentally sustainable projects, such as tree nurseries and wood lots. We provided health care, familyplanning and education programs, especially for women. As their education increases, their family size tends to drop. While pollution still plagues much of the world, progress is being made. This May in Sudbury, Ontario, I saw new forests that were 25recolonizing hills destroyed by 100 years of nickel mining. Themunity raised the money and worked for months spreading lime and planting vegetation on the blackened rock. Animal species on the brink of extinction can be given a second chance through protection and captive breeding—even if preserving a 30habitat conflicts with economic interests. A pany in China plannedto build a rapidtransit line right through the only major remaining breeding ground of the rare pheasanttailed jacana. There was an outcry, butit was the only economically viable route. Environmentalists worked35with the pany to propose a solution—moving the breeding ground.Water was diverted back into nearby wetlands that had been drained byfarmers, and suitable vegetation was replanted. I derive the most hope from the energy and hard work of youngpeople. Roots ＆ Shoots, .’s program for youth from preschool 40through university, is now active in 70 countries. The name is symbolic:roots and shoots together can break up brick walls, just as citizens of theEarth together can overe our problems.41. “A man on moon” and “the Internet” (Paragraph 1) are given as examples to show __________.A.
