35、dit card to learn how to handle money? Or is it better to keep firm control through the Bank of Mom and Dad? The "correct" answer will vary by family and personal preference.

36、of card issuers collecting plenty of new customers on campus by handing out free T-shirts or rewards points for spring break. Under-21s can still obtain a credit card if they have a qualified co-signer or proof of sufficient income to repay the debt. And card issuers still market aggressively to co

37、llege students, targeting them with pre-screened mail offers. That makes parents, as the likeliest co-signers, more involved in the card-or-no-card decision.

38、 tender age. Her daughter Sarah, who’s 19 and about to start her second year of college, uses Robyn’s PayPal card instead.

54、troduction of a health problem (C) Edgar Degas, J. M. W. Turner and other painters captured centuries of atmospheric records as they decorated canvases with sunset scenes. Greek scientists worked with an artist to confirm that the ratio of red to green in sunset painting, both old and new, incr

55、eased when particles filled the air, such as after major volcanic eruption(火山噴發(fā)) or dust storms. The atmospheric physicists also found a gradual shift in artistic sunset hues over centuries, possibly due to ever-increasing air pollution during the Industrial Revolution. An earlier study, led by atm

56、ospheric physicist Christos Zerefos of the Academy of Athens in Greece, discovered that the amount of red relative to green in sunset descriptions increased after eruptions, including Tambora, Indonesia in 1815, Coseguina, Nicaragua in 1835 and Krakatau, Indonesia in 1883. Zerefos’ team analyzed 55

57、4 paintings created between 1550 and 1990. For up to three years after eruptions, sunsets reddened as sunlight bounced off dust and gas from the volcanoes. The latest study, also by Zerefos, used improved scanning and analysis techniques to confirm the earlier results. A modern painter, Panayiotis

58、Tetsis, unknowingly repeated the artistic atmospheric observations of classical masters. In the artists’ description of sunsets light over the Greek island of Hydra, the color ratio shifted towards red in paintings done both before (June 19, 2010) and after (June 20, 2010) a dust cloud from Sahara D

59、esert filtered the sunset’s light. Zerefos’ team connected the timing of classical paintings’ red shift to other records of the atmosphere trapped in ice cores from Greenland, in the recent study published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. The ice cores recorded spikes(尖刺) in sulfur-containing

60、 chemicals likely from volcanoes. These spikes corresponded in time to artists’ increasingly dark red sunsets. The comparison of ice and art also revealed a slow shift in the coloring of the sunset. As the factories of Europe roared into production in the 19th and early 20th century, painting descr

61、ibed a steady increase in the red to green ratio. The ice cores recorded a steady rise in airborne particles from industrial pollution during the same time. 74. The underlined word “hues” in the second paragraph probably means . A. angles B. colors C. loc

62、ations D. times 75. What do we know about Zerefos’ research from the passage? A. Both modern and ancient artists describing sunset are involved in the research. B. It confirmed an obvious increase in the ratio of green to red in sunset paintings. C. The shift from green to red

63、 also existed in the records of ice cores trapped items. D. The team used traditional techniques to confirm the earlier results of the research. 76. How did Zerefos’ team confirm that atmospheric records kept by painters were reliable? A. By analyzing classical paintings B. By connectin

64、g time to color C. By comparing art with ice D. By working with an artist 77. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. A modern research of ancient art and ice with pollution. B. Art Masterpiece and pollutants trapped in ice cores. C. An increase in the ratio

65、of red to green in paintings D. Art Masterpiece Recorded Centuries of Pollution. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Six thousand years ago, farmers in Mesopotamia dug a ditch to bring water f

66、rom the Euphrates River. With that successful effort to satisfy their thirsty crops, they went on to form the world’s first irrigation(灌溉)-based civilization. Sumerian farmers harvested plentiful crops for some 2,000 years thanks to the extra water brought in from the river, but the soil, when water evaporates(蒸發(fā)), was eventually reduced to salinization, the poisonous buildup of salts and other substances left behind. Far more people depend on irrigation in the modern world than did in ancie
