29、ary.It is unique to Kenya.Like traditional libraries,books can be boorowed and returned.Unlike traditional libraries,books are carried to people by camels.The camel library was started in Northern Kenya,where many people live in remote villages. The nearest town,called Garissa,is hundreds of kilomet

30、res away from these villages. Many of the villagers have never learned to read.They cannot afford to buy books,let alone have access to the Internet.Until 1996,the only library in the area was in Garissa.The distance meant villagers could not get to it.The problem was solved with the creation of a m

31、obile library.However,while mobile libraries in other places use trucks,this one uses camels to take the books to the villages. Camels are often the most efficient form of transportation in Northern Kenya,as the poor roads make driving difficult. Trucks,buses,and cars often break down. Camels can ca

32、rry heavy things and travel long distances without water. And, unlike trucks,they don't need good roads.The camel library uses three camels.They carry more than 200 books to ten villages in Northern Kenya. Four people travel with the camels.One of them acts as a guard to make sure no one tries t

33、o steal the books along the way.The camels walk from one village to another,five days a week.The camel library spends one day in each village,and then goes to the next small town.It visits each village once every two weeks.The books in the camel library are in English, which the children in the vill

38、 what date does the holiday in Syria begin?CCanadian Clean Air Day is on 6 June.It is a chance for Canadians everywhere to focus on the problems of air pollution and to actually try to do something to help reduce the problems.What can we do to fight air pollution? Well, it should be pretty obvious b

39、y now that the way we get to and from work every day can have a big effect on the air we breathe.So the easiest action you can take on Clean Air Day is to accept what we call the "Commuter Challenge"and get to work on foot or by cycling for a change.If you have to use your car,try"car

40、-pooling" and share the drive,or better still,use public transit.(66)If everyone tries this for one day,you'll be amazed by the difference it can make to the air in towns and cities. There's also a lot more you can do to improve air quality.For example,you can plant trees.And if you don

41、't have a garden,then you can do your bit in other ways.(67)For instance,did you know that modern,improved stoves can reduce smoke by as much as 80-90percent?So you can make a big difference if you upgrade the appliances in your home.The government is also working hard on your behalf to clean up

42、 our air. The first thing is to reduce the emissions hat cause smog-and they have clear plans to get there.Cananda and the United States agreed to reduce emissions on both sides of the border between the two countries and they plan to reach their targets in the next few years.The government's al

43、so taking action to get cleaner fuels.It's already reduced the sulphur contained in gasoline,and it hopes to reach the reduction target for sulphur in diesel(柴油)by next year.These measures don't just focus on the motorist-the federal government's also working to reduce emissions from pow

46、tsDCoral reefs are found in tropical seas throughout the world and provide shelter for hundreds of different plants and animals.They look like flat beds of rock,but in fact they are formed from the bones of tiny sea creatures.Almost one half of the world's coral reefs occur in shallow seas, near

47、 to the coastline of over one hundred countries.Millions of people depend on these coral reefs for their livelihoods.The majority of natural products which come from coral reefs,such as fish,shells and seaweed,can be sold,either locally or in export markets.Not only does the person who collects the

48、products earn money,but also those people who prepare,market or sell them.In some countries,coral reefs are the main natural resource.In the Maldives,for example,25% of the workforce is employed in fishing.In addition,56% of the national economy comes from reef-based tourism.This means that a large

49、number of people are employed in tourism-related jobs.Fishing is normally an occupation for adult males,particularly where it involves the use of boats,and other people are often excluded from it.Coral reef fisheries,on the other hand,are usually accessible on foot,so work is not restricted to men.I

50、n fact,collecting fish and other products from the reefs is generally the job of women,children and even the elderly.Women's occupations are not limited to reef fishing.In India and the South Pacific,for example,women help to make and mend the fishing equipment.Fish processing is often done by w

51、omen too.Such employment brings both direct and indirect advantages.For example,on Ulithi Atoll in Papua New Guinea,women can obtain mahogany wood for fishing boats in exchange for cloth they make and so gain more control over the household income.They can also apply for loans or credit.This gives t

52、hem more independence and status,both in the family and in the community.Question 71:Choose the answer that fits the question best according to the passage.71.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The structure and location of coral reefs.B.Fish exports from Papua New Guinea.C.The economic importan

53、ce of coral reefs.D.Female unemployment in coastal villages.Questions 72-75:Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.72.How many countries have a coral reef close to their coastline? 73.Which activity is more than half of the Maldives' national economy based on?74.How do p

54、eople usually get to reef fisheries?75.What do Indian women often help to make?IV.Translation(翻譯)(共5小題；每小題2分，計(jì)10分)Translate the following sentences into English,using the hints given in the brackets.(用括號中所給的提示將下列句子譯成英語。)(答案寫在答題紙上)76.我們讓那盞燈亮著，因?yàn)楹⒆觽兣潞凇?frightened)77.對于小學(xué)生來說，起得那么早沒有任何意義。(make any sense
