• Passage Three Many years ago,when I was working in a school in Buenos Aires,I was required to teach Macbeth to a class of Spanish-speaking schoolboys.I was a bit worried at being given such a task,because Shakespeare's language is not always easy,even for the native speaker.The language of Macbeth is particularly rich and strange to the modern reader.I myself had seen and read the play for the first time at an early age,and had been carried away by the story.So,I decided to concentrate first on the action and plot,and as far as possible let the language take care of itself. I read the play to my students,scene by scene,taking the different parts myself.I did not let my pupils read it aloud for themselves,as I thought they lacked necessary experience and skill to benefit from this.At the end of each scene,I saw to it that everybody understood what had happened,and we briefly summarized this in writing.After this,I went through the scene again,explaining those language points that might prevent essential comprehension,and then I read the scene straight through once more. This was not a very exciting approach.The pupils'participation was largely pasive.I was in fact doing most of the work.However,when we had gone through about half of the play in this manner,I discovered to my great surprise that the class had taken the book home and finished it for themselves. Through my efforts,they had woken up to the idea that the story was exciting,and wanted to know how it turned out in the end. We went ahead and finished the play,working more rapidly,and went on to discuss and read parts of the play again,focusing on the characters,plots,themes,etc.Without noticing it,we did a lot of practice in oral and written English.

  BThe teacher hadn't read the play.

  CShakespeare's language is difficult.

  DThe students hadn't watched the play.

• Half of the world's coral reefs（珊瑚礁）have died in the last 30 years. Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive.Even if global warming were to stop right now, scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem，the reefs may be headed for total extinction（灭绝）. (78)The planet's health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They are often described as "the rainforests of the sea",because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life.In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms. Corals are used in medical research for cures to diseases.They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dollars. (79) Corals are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae（水藻）.Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage.In 1998,when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover. Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfishing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists. Scientists remain hopeful that it's not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to accomplish that goal.
