Shanghai—Shanghai officials are welcoming a new national-water law that they say will help them protect the upper reaches of the Huangpu River and other water ways in Shanghai. The new law, which came into effect yesterday, updates a law enacted（颁布）

in 1988 that focused on supplying water to needy areas, but didn’t pay a great deal of attention to environmental protection. The previous law, for example, gave local authorities power over waterways in these areas, but didn’t pay attention to the sources of those rivers and lakes. So, Shanghai was responsible for cleaning and protecting the lower reaches of the Chang Jiang River but had no say in how the river’s upper reaches, which feed into Shanghai, are maintained. The new law will make it easier to control the amount of waste that ends up in local rivers and reduce inefficient use of waterways, said Zhang Jia-yi, director of the Shanghai Water Affairs Bureau, on the bureau’s website commenting on law yesterday. Zhang said the new law focuses on the efficient use of water sources and emphasizes the harmonious development of China’s population, its economy and environment. Zhang also emphasizes the city will crack down on companies and individuals that pollute the city’s water sources. The bureau sets up a special force to investigate(调查) water pollution in March. So far this year, the bureau has published more than 3 million in fines on various polluters, Zhang said. 36. The best title for the news report should be ______. A. A new Law Is Born B. A New Water Law to Protect Rivers C. Is it Necessary to Protect the Rivers D. Make Full Use of Water Sources 37. The underlined phrase “crack down on” means _____. A. bring up carefully

B. speak highly of C. deal with seriously

D. destroy completely 38. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The law in 1988 is suitable for the new requirements. B. The new law will stop waste being poured into the Chang Jiang River. C. A lot of polluting units have been fined this year. D. The new law and the old one are the same in protecting the environment. 39. We can infer from the passage that _____ . A. the problem of protecting the water sources wasn’t paid much attention to B. no laws were carried out to manage the water sources in Shanghai. C. the new law mainly emphasizes how to make use of the water sources. D. companies or individuals that polluted the water sources didn’t get fined. B The winter holidays are a special time at the White House. Each year, about 44,000 people come to see the holiday decorations or to attend holiday parties at the President’s home in Washington, D.C. I was able to attend a press preview of the holiday decorations recently, which was hosted by First Lady Laura Bush. This year’s theme for the decorations is “All Things Bright and Beautiful.” The decorations are all made of fresh flowers,

3

garlands(花环), and fruits. The flowers will have to be changed every few days to keep the look fresh. The main Christmas tree is in the Blue Room. It’s an 18-foot fir tree—tall enough that the chan-delier(吊灯) had to be removed to make room for it. Fresh white lilies(百合), crystal garlands, and white lights decorate the White House Christmas tree. The room smells of pine and lilies. Mrs. Bush was asked whether she called the tree a holiday tree or a Christmas tree. “We know that Americans celebrate the season in a lot of different ways,”

she said. “We’ll have a party and a reception here at the White House later during the month. But I think we’ve always called this the White House Christmas tree.”

Another centerpiece of the decorations each year is the gingerbread house(姜饼屋), made by chief Thaddeus Dubois.“This is his second gingerbread house,” Mrs. Bush said. “And this year Dubois painstakingly(辛苦地，辛勤地) made it special.”

The gingerbread house was made with 100 pounds of gingerbread, 150 pounds of white and dark chocolate, and clear, poured sugar windows. A strand of white lights inside the Gingerbread White House made it glow. 40. Mrs. Bush chose “All Things Bright and Beautiful”as the theme for the decorations to ______.. A. highlight nature’s beauty B. show the great wealth of the family C. express her love of the country D. differ from other people’s ideas 41. Which of the following can probably be used to describe the White House after the decorations? A. New and clean. B. Elegant(高贵的) and beautiful. C. Smelly and shaky. D. Luxurious(豪华的) and serious. 42. The passage is mainly about ______. . A. how Americans observe Christmas

B. decorating the White House for holidays C. the differences between a holiday tree and a Christmas tree D. how to select a present for the White House
