Recent activity in several US church communities has seemed almost unbelievable: churchgoers have gathered around huge fires and cheered as they cast Harry Potter books into the flames. They fear that the incredibly popular series about a school for young wizards is spurring children and adolescents toward a life of witchcraft and onto the dangerous path toward Satanism. For these congregations, J. K. Rowling's books are none other than the work of the devil herself. To most people, however, the Harry Potter books and films are merely compelling adventure stories, not a threat to children's psyches. But what has been forgotten in the excitement of 'Pottermania' is that boys and girls have been fascinated by magic and sorcery for generations. Surveys about magical practices among adolescents vary widely, but some indicate that as many as 44 per cent have shown some slight, passing interest in it. Although satanically motivated violence occasionally makes headlines, research shows that less than 5 per cent of young people take part in more extensive witchcraft, and very few end up in the kind of organized devil worship that can lead to such acts as ritual murder.
The attitude of the writer of the passage towards the burning of the Harry Potter books by various church communities is -----.
A) an understanding one, as many young people have been led astray by these books
B) one of deep anger
C) sympathetic as basically he believes they are right about the ill effects of the Harry Potter books

E) one of repulsion at their hysteria and fanaticism

On an individual basis, poverty is caused by the level of education, skill, intelligence and experience one has. Mental and physical handicaps, feebleness due to age and discrimination due to sexual orientation, race, sex and other bigotry also are causes. Causes on a societal level include warfare, agricultural cycles, natural disasters, droughts and flooding. There are at least two approaches to explaining societal poverty, including case and generic theories. The case approach says that individual theories (or cases) of poverty make up the aggregate (or total) reasons for societal poverty. The generic theory of poverty, however, maintains that systemwide societal problems, such as low national income, cause individual cases of poverty.In other words, case theories believe in combating poverty by addressing individual causes. Generic theory, on the other hand, believes in combating poverty by addressing the overarching social and economic issues that cause it.

The discovery of an ancient tomb in modern China is so commonplace that it often annoys as much as excites, because it can delay construction for months or even years. So when archaeologists were called in last May to check structures discovered during the expansion of a bone meal factory in a southern suburb of Beijing, they weren't expecting to find anything of great interest. To the archaeologists' surprise, the structures were the remains of two traditional domed tombs, each over a thousand years old. One was flooded and badly damaged, but the other contained beautifully-preserved wall frescoes from the 10th century. 'It's only recently that the Chinese have been publishing artifacts from ancient tombs, and it's unusual to see them in the Western press,' says Dr Jessica Rawson, Professor of Oriental Art and Archaeology at Oxford University.
We learn from the passage that the Chinese -----.
A) show archaeologists a great deal of respect
B) are very proud of their ancient archaeological heritage
C) are very skilled in the art of frescoes
D) often have mixed feelings when an ancient tomb is discovered
E) used to prefer tombs without domes to those with domes
The natives of the Lewis Island know wind –sometimes too well. Every winter the Atlantic gales come blasting across the northern tip of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. The wind hardly slows down even after striking land; in the island’s marshy interior, gusts regularly exceed 160kph. Everyone stays indoors but the sheep. Tourists arrive in summer, lured by mild temperatures and unspoiled countryside; even so, there’s rarely a calm day. “The weather here is changeable”, says Nigel Scott, spokesman for the local government. “But the wind is constant”. The brutal climate could finally be Lewis’s salvation. The place has been growing poorer and more desolate for generations, as young people seek sunnier prospects elsewhere. But now the energy industry has discovered the storm-swept island. The multinationals AMEC and British Energy are talking about plans to erect some 300 outsize wind turbines across a few thousand hectares of moorland. If the 500 million-pound project goes through, the array will be Europe’s largest wind farm, capable of churning out roughly 1 per cent of Britain’s total electrical needs – and generating some badly needed jobs and cash for the people of Lewis.
We understand from the passage that, in summer, the island of Lewis ----.
A) attracts visitors as nature there has remained unspoiled
B) enjoys a warm, wind-free climate
C) is one of the most attractive of the islands that make up the Outer Hebrides

eighteenth century

In the 1940s DDT was found to be an excellent way to control insects. It cost little to produce and was not found to harm humans. So it was widely used for people and crops. But then it was found that DDT stayed in the environment for many years. It thinned the shells of unborn birds and led to health problems for other animals. So the support for the common use of it was ended. But now again the use of DDT in homes is supported to control malaria, as indoor spraying is useful to quickly reduce the number of infections caused by malaria-carrying mosquitoes. DDT presents no health risk when used correctly. But it should be used only inside houses and huts, not outside and not for agriculture use. Malaria sickens five hundred million people and results in more than one million deaths every year. Each day, an estimated three thousand babies and young children die from it. The large majority of deaths are in Africa, south of the Sahara. But critics of DDT argue that DDT is not as effective as people might think. For instance, some African mosquitoes have already developed resistance to it. It seems that DDT should be only one tool among many for insect control.
According to the passage, one advantage of DDT was thought to be its ----.
We learn from the text that the use of DDT in homes is recommended again ----.
A) because it has become cheaper all over the world
B) despite the opposition of leading health authorities
C) as a new and more effective type of it has been introduced to the market
D) because of its ability to fight malaria effectively
E) since five hundred million babies have died of malaria

“The temperature of the atmosphere near the earth’s surface is warmed through a natural process called the greenhouse effect. Visible, shortwave light comes from the sun to the earth, passing unimpeded through a blanket of thermal, or
greenhouse, gases composed largely of water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Infrared radiation reflects off the planet’s surface toward space but does not easily pass through the thermal blanket. Some of it is trapped and reflected downward, keeping the planet at an average temperature suitable to life, about 16 centigrade. Growth industry, agriculture, and transportation since the Industrial Revolution has produced additional quantities of the natural greenhouse gases plus chloro-fluorocarbons and other gases, augmenting the thermal blanket and this has caused what we call global warming today.”
We can understand from the passage that
----.
A) the Industrial Revolution has helped global warming decline in order that people can lead a healthier life in their natural atmosphere
B) unless we had global warming, all the gases in the atmosphere of the earth would be released into the space and cause great destruction of life
C) owing to global warming, the temperature on earth can be kept at an average of about 16 centigrade
D) growth in industry, agriculture, and transportation has accelerated the purification of the atmosphere so as to get rid of air pollution
E) if it weren’t for the greenhouse effect, our planet would have an undesirable temperature
