【正文】 n protective clothing resulted mainly from the work of Lester Shubin and Nicholas Montanarelli. In the 1970s, the two Amercians were working for the United States army. They were searching for a way to protect people in public life from gunfire. Mr. Montanarelli knew about DuPont’s recently developed fiber, and the two men decided to test it. The men fired handguns at several materials which were protected by Kevlar. The material changed the shape of the bullets. It seemed a good candidate to help defend police officers and soldiers. So thousands of police officers in many cities began to wear the vests. But it was difficult to get panies to make them, because panies feared legal action if the vests should fail. Then in December, 1975 a gunman shot at a policeman in Seattle. One bullet struck the officer’s chest but didn’t enter his body. The incident made manufacturers begin to produce masses of the vests.Today, about three thousand people are members of the Kevlar Survivors’ Club. All the members have escaped injury or death because of Kevlar.Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage, and answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The Sahel is the area of Africa that lies between the Sahara desert to the north and more fertile land to the south. The dry plains of the Sahel are mostly treeless. Yet in Niger, one of the once also poor nations along the Sahel, millions of trees are now growing. Researchers have been studying the progress of a regreening campaign in Niger. Chris Reij is a scientist from the Netherlands. In a message at last February， he described how， in some places， densities are so high that you almost look at a wall of trees. A United Nations news service reported in October that Niger39。s government said the campaign had already reclaimed three million hectares (公頃). Teams of workers have used simple methods such as planting trees and protecting natural vegetation to save land from being lost to desert. Ten to twenty times more trees were reported in parts of southern Niger in 2005 than there were thirty years earlier. Some reclaimed land can now be farmed again. The land became infertile during the 1970’s and early 80’s. But about twenty years ago，local farmers recognized that their onceproductive soil was being carried away by severe winds. Trees were traditionally cut down for firewood or cleared for agriculture. Instead of clearing trees, farmers began to let them grow among their crops. At the same time, rainfall levels began to rise after a long dry period. Today，the rate of desert expansion in Niger is dropping and the amount of harvested crops is up.The success of the effort suggests that earlier damage to the Sahel may not have been permanent. And some say it could put Niger in a better position to deal with whatever effects climate change might bring. continent is Niger in? (With only one word) ________________________82.

More than 7,000 students in 156 high schools took part in it. The survey found Japanese students are the most troubled because their mothers have the highest expectations of them and often pare them with other children. Chinese students have the least burden and are the most satisfied with their families. However, they are not the happiest because they seldom municate with their parents. American students are the most independent and Korean students are the second most independent. Test results are one of the most frustrating thing in life.The survey also shows generation gaps exist in all the four countries. To get rid of generation gaps, parents and children need to municate with each other more and understand each other better.
