Amazon system plays a major role in the way the sun's heat is distributed around the globe. Any disturbance of this process could produce far reaching effects. Moreover, the Amazon region stores at least 75 billion tons of carbon in its trees, which when the rainforests are burned spew carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Hence, the torching of Amazon could magnify the greenhouse effect—the trapping of heat by atmospheric CO2. Some scientists fear that the globe will begin to warm up, bringing on drastic climatic changes.

How many people, whether on business abroad or merely touring, have
unknowingly insulted their clients, hosts, local shopkeepers, or a complete stranger on the bus? A quick read of the guides below may allow you to 31. to social norms and make a positive impression.
First, behaving in the same way that you would at home can land you in fairly serious trouble. In England, it is standard practice to take wine to a dinner party, but the same does not apply in France. To do so would suggest your host is unable to choose or afford a good bottle. Watch your table manners in Korea: sticking your chopsticks into a bowl of rice and leaving them upright is not the done thing. Your hosts 32. incense sticks in a bowl used to honor dead ancestors. If returning the dinner invitation of your Korean friends, make sure the eldest member of the Korean family is served before anyone else at that table.
In some countries, your body language may be 33. offensive. Do not pat girls or boys on the head in Thailand as this is considered the most sacred part of the body, and make sure the soles of your feet are not on display in Arab countries. It is important to bow lower than your seniors or elders in Japan, and elderly members of Maori tribes in New Zealand would find your bottom resting on a table or desk to be extremely disrespectful.
As for everyday behavior on the street, if you have a cold, 34. others and use your tissues discreetly in Germany. Never step over a coin or a bill in Thailand. These bear the image of the king and are therefore deserving of respect. When you are indoors, don't turn on the light in Canada without first 35. permission, and in Arab
countries, it would be unthinkable to walk into a house with footwear on. 31. (A)confirm (B)conform (C)conflict (D)confess 32. (A)would be reminded of (B)would be reminding

When a loved pet passes away, it can be hard to accept they are truly gone forever, and for some, the loved ones are of the furry, four-legged variety. Some animal lovers are 36. a private burial in the backyard; others may want something a little more ceremonial and prefer a service at a pet cemetery. In the last decade, another option has become available, that of freeze- drying. This process involves the complete removal of liquid from a pet 37. it retains its shape and size. This can take up to four months to complete, depending on the pet's weight. It is then sent back to the owner. 38. , this service was mainly available in the United States. Now, Britain joined in the trend toward pet preservation, but in the form of taxidermy.
In fact, the resurrection of interest in this form of preservation is so great that the few taxidermists still practicing cannot cope with the demand. For the layperson, taxidermy means "stuffing dead animals" and brings to mind dusty collections of exotic creatures in museums. For the professional taxidermists, theirs is an art form that also requires a genuine interest in wildlife. When they begin work on a subject, they must not only sculpt a body from wood or, in the case of large animals, the material used is fiber glass(the animal's skin is then 39. this frame), but they must position the animal in a convincing pose, and they can only do this by knowing how it moves in life. The subjects, by the way, have all met natural deaths or 40. in road accidents, as British law prevents endangered species from reaching the taxidermist's table.

6. 目標行銷，亦即對特定的市場區隔做廣告，是很重要的。這些是具有相似特 性的個人群體或組織。在過去，公司使用大眾行銷─換句話說，產品的廣告 係針對一般大市場。今天，這是無效的。人們的需求已經變得更個人化。這 陣子，登廣告者需要瞄準非常具體的群組。 7. 動物用不同的方式彼此聯繫。一些昆蟲，例如螞蟻使用氣味告訴其他螞蟻， "在那裏有食物"。蜜蜂用特別的動作來聯繫。他們做某種舞動告訴其他蜜蜂 花的位置。很多哺乳動物，例如象和鯨魚，用聲音來交換資訊。座頭鯨能聽 到 745 英里遠的另一頭鯨魚的聲音！ 8. 我們一直在吃的食物相當依賴地理和氣候。因為日本被水域包圍，難怪日本 飲食富有魚和海草。在熱帶的國家，例如巴西，栽培很多其他國家在最近才 能輕易認出的穀類和水果。來自有豐足的森林的北方的國家的人習慣於吃獵 物，例如兔子，鹿和雉雞。 9. 英語充滿對所有左邊的事物顯示偏見的表達方式。暗示左撇子在某一必要的 方面是錯的負面關連被嵌入這個語言中。例如，某一個想法被認為不恰當， 極端，或者瘋狂的一個人，被說成out in the left field(神智錯亂)。每個人都害 怕他當舞伴的差勁舞者被描述成有兩隻左腳的人。 偏見被深深地嵌入在我們 每天使用的語言裏！ 10. 對時間的不同態度和信念可能會導致爭執。某些人類學家建議把兩種對時間 的看法做出區分：單一慣性者與多元慣性者。把時間視為金錢和視為一個人 不應該浪費的東西是一個典型的單一慣性文化，比如美國人。另一方面，多 元慣性文化的人，如墨西哥人，一般喜歡同時做很多事情。毫不奇怪，從單 一慣性文化和多元慣性文化來的人們之間會產生問題，因為對時間的態度不 同。 11. 果斷是個人發展和變化的基礎。果斷意味要查明為什麼按照我的行為方式， 為什麼我要我想要的，然後決定是否這個行為真的有必要。果斷的人不會貶 低他人，他們也不允許他們自己被貶低。他們認為別人有權果斷。關於他人， 他們既非勝人一籌，也非遜於他人。 12. 一名古代的阿拉伯人無人陪伴他穿越沙漠。但是他有帶著牛奶，因為有點喝 的東西總是好的。他把一些牛奶倒進一個綿羊的胃製成的小袋。在他旅行期 間，他打開小袋發現牛奶已經分離成很濃的物質，這個我們現在稱為凝乳， 以及我們叫乳清的一種多水的流體。阿拉伯人意外地發明瞭乳酪。
13. 約耳歐斯丁是一個德克薩斯州當地人和雷克伍德教堂的牧師，這個教堂是美 國最大和發展最快的教堂，根據今日教堂成長雜誌的說法。他寫了很多暢銷 書，紐約時報確認他的「這是你的時代」是美國的前十名的暢銷書之一。他 也是一位著名的傳教士，他的教堂是美國使用最頻繁的禮拜中心之一。每週 約耳把希望的訊息和鼓勵遞送給超過 38,000 個出席人士。 14. 幾個月以前，沒人確實知道溫莎廣場將發生什麼事。以前從未有一所堪薩斯 學校或者小型醫院試驗這個：將老人和年輕人用某種方式併在一起來彼此學 習。結果相當令人震驚！"如果你看我們的孩子，他們就是不同"，黎明克羅 說，他的女兒麗莉在耶誕節假期去看老人，因為她認為他們將感到孤單。" 我認為我的孩子已經學習到遠遠超過基本知識。每天我們送我們的孩子來這 裡；我們感到好像收到了禮物"。 15. 在 1879 年，亞伯特愛因斯坦出生。他極端地安靜和怕羞以致于他的父母煩惱 他出毛病了。他們甚至考慮是否要為他做一次身體檢查。實際上，亞伯特直 到他 3、4 歲時才會講話。然後突然，晚餐期間，他說，"湯太熱"。覺得大為 放心，他的父母問他他為什麼以前從未說任何話。"因為"，小亞伯特回答，" 到目前為止，一切事情都沒問題"。這個故事是真實的嗎？沒有證據。 16. 很多人喜歡加香料在食品裡，但香料不一定是給食品調味的。在早期的文明， 辛辣食品有幾個世紀一直被用來治療感冒，氣喘病和靜脈竇問題。古埃及醫 學作品推薦芥末為呼吸治療藥。東方醫學仍然使用辣椒，黑胡椒，芥末，蒜 和其他香料治療感冒和氣喘病。 17. 在 20 世紀 50 年代，皮爾丹人發現的有效性被更進一步質疑。約瑟夫韋納推 翻皮爾丹人的有效性，其技術證據顯示頭顱是一個英國女子的而下巴是亞洲 紅毛猩猩的。但是問題仍然存在：這是誰幹的？超過一打的嫌疑犯已經被指 名；唯一著名而大多數讀者能認出的是亞瑟科南多伊爾。但是在皮爾丹人 100 周年紀念日快到時，我們仍然沒無法確定誰創造了科學歷史上的大騙局。 18. 同人小說是小說迷寫的小說以作為仰慕原作的擴展。 (A)與傳統的印刷品出版物不同，網際網路提供選擇對同人小說回饋的給予或 接受。 (B)同人小說，也叫粉飛客，或許和小說存在時間一樣久。 (C)早在 17 世紀時，愛好者寫的小說續集，例如唐．吉柯德，就可能被發現 了。 (D)不過，同人小說的出現直到 1960 年代才成為趨勢，那時系列電視節目獲 得狂熱的追隨。
19. 安排的婚姻是在某種程度由結婚當事人以外的人安排的婚姻。 (A)今天，安排的婚姻在中東，非洲和亞洲的部分仍然被實踐。 (B)配對由父母、媒人或者被信任的第三方選擇。 (C)在許多社會，做媒的角色可能由牧師或宗教領袖扮演。 (D)基於浪漫戀愛結婚而以離婚收場的離婚的年輕人愈來愈多。 20. 牛仔褲結構的歷史在歐洲可追溯到 16 世紀。 (A)據說牛仔褲這個單字來自熱那亞這個單字，指的是來自熱那亞的海員所穿 的褲子使用的材料。 (B)熱那亞海員使用的牛仔褲織品在 18 世紀以前逐步形成到百分之百棉花之 前，係由一種棉花、羊毛和亞麻布的混合物製成。 (C)在好萊塢拍經常穿牛仔褲的牛仔為特色的許多西方的電影之後，牛仔褲在 20 世紀 30 年代變得受歡迎。 (D)沒有人會回想到那時在熱那亞海員所穿的布料會刺激今天數百萬美元的 斜紋粗棉布工業。 21. 大多數印尼人是回教徒，他們會慶祝一個特別的稱為 Lebaran 的假期。 (A)它在齋戒月之後慶祝，在齋戒月遠離世俗需求，例如從上午四點到下午六 點不吃不喝。 (B)如果他們不能齋戒，遠離全部世俗需求，他們必須在 Lebaran 之後，重複 進行齋戒。 (C)因此，Lebaran 是由齋戒全部世俗需求的印尼人之後慶祝的快樂日子。 (D)回教徒是虔信伊斯蘭教的人，並且穆斯林的意思是"提交給上帝的人"。 22. 很少人知道家族史可能是發展為心臟病和癌症疾病風險的強大影響之一。 (A)家庭成員有相同的生活環境，生活方式和習慣；他們也有相同的基因。 (B)因此，人們承認像酒窩和對偶的能力一樣承認家庭為特性；糖尿病和癌症 的疾病的危險也能在家庭中繼續存在。 (C)系譜是通過使用歷史記錄和遺傳學的分析的家庭研究和歷史跟蹤，以獲得 關於一個家庭的資訊。 (D)雖然我們不能改變我們的基因結構，知道我們的家族史能幫助降低可能健 康問題的危險。
23. 將來的書可能由無線紙和電子墨水做成。 (A)無線紙有一層數百萬個極小的膠囊；在每一個膠囊裏，有一種深色的液體 和數百個白色的球。 (B)無線紙，時常被稱做電子紙，是看起來像紙的可擕式顯示媒介但是可以無 限期重複使用。 (C)一個電荷能使白色的球移動到膠囊的頂端或者底部使"墨水"看起來白色或 者黑色。 (D)因此，那些膠囊能在那些頁上形成字母當他們以某種模式被充電時。 24. 當大樓的環境影響變得更明顯時，一個稱為"綠色大樓"的新領域正加快速度。 (A)這是創造和使用更健康和更多的有效率資源的建設、修整、操作和維修模 式的實踐。 (B)這個實踐擴大和補足古典大樓設計所關心的經濟、效用、耐久性、和舒適。 (C)因此，綠色的大樓也被稱為可持續或者高性能的大樓。 (D)每種大樓類型有不同的設計與效率需要，這些取決於它的功能。 25. (2)人腦的兩個半球的分工在一個經典的實驗裏被證明瞭。 (4)研究人員要求大腦損壞的病人研究一幅由很小的 A 組成的很大的字母 H 的 圖片，要他們憑記憶重畫它。 (3)有右半球的損害的病人經常僅僅把 A 分散在紙頁上。 (1)有對左半球的損害的其他人，相反地，經常只是畫很大的 H 沒有 A。 (5)因此，人的左大腦表現根據一個或者一些細節刺激的特性，而右大腦專門 合成整體圖案。 26. (5)當美國從它的金融危機中掙脫出來時，中國靜靜地確定自己在 21 世紀最大 的新興工業裏成為一位領導人：綠色的技術。 (4)在 2009 年，中國已經成為全球風輪機的最大的生產者。 (2)由 Breakthrough Institute 發表新報告主張中國，跟日本和朝鮮，將藉由投 資超越美國，支配乾淨能源的競賽。 (1)亞洲乾淨技術的巨虎已經啟動巨大政府投資計畫來支配這個行業。 (3)因此，他們幾乎在所有乾淨能源的領域裏已經超過美國，包括風，太陽， 以及電汽車的電池。 27. (4) 2110 年代亞洲無國界照相比賽的主題是「運轉之詩」。 (1)業餘愛好者和專業人士被邀請來展現最佳的攝影技巧。 (3)詩本身是一種抒情的格式化的寫作方式，用來展示深刻的洞察力而非隨興 的日常用語。 (5)因此，「運轉之詩」和尋常相比必須喚起一般詩所激起的相同感覺。 (2)無疑地，亞洲無國界照相比賽將捕捉並看到戲劇性與壯觀的時刻。
28. (5)臺北市立動物園正想辦法使圓圓更喜歡團團，希望能生產下一代。 (2)應請求，臥龍大熊貓保護區的主任在 11 月初來台灣幫助這兩隻熊貓加溫他 們的性生活。 (1)因為熊貓沒有繁殖的傾向，中國專家教導臺北市立動物園官員如何哄他們 交配。 (3)張主任樂觀表示團團和圓圓在春天可能懷一隻小熊貓。 (4)動物園的另一個好消息，媒體報告說臺灣將被允許飼養生下來的小熊貓。 29. (3)日本東京大學研究人員已經發表研究報告表示抗流感藥「克流感」能通過 汙水處理工廠進入河川。 (4)因為水鳥被來自那些工廠的溫暖富於營養的排放物吸引，禽鳥無意中在服 用「克流感」，這是真正的危險。 (2)以前的研究已經暗示在東京的河裏發現的河川上層含有的克流感高得足以 產生流行性感冒的抗藥危機。 (5)對日本的威脅尤其嚴重，在那裏克流感的處方比率比世界其他地方高。 (1)如果季節性的流行性感冒的同時爆發 H1N1，導致更廣泛的用藥，情況能 變得更糟。 30. (5)全世界的社會一直在使用貝殼，不只作為裝飾，而且作為刀刃，按鈕，油 燈，貨幣和特別是樂器。 (1)另外，海貝殼以前是作為王室成員象徵的寶貴紫色染料的來源。 (4)貝殼甚至可能曾作為達文西為一座法國城堡的螺旋形樓梯的設計模型。 (2)實際上，貝殼鼓舞整個法國藝術運動：洛可哥藝術。 (3)它的建築師和設計師偏愛貝殼形狀的曲線和其他錯綜複雜的主題。 31. conform to 符合、遵從 32. remind A of B 使 A 想起 B 改為被動 A is reminded of B 33.
