Liberia, the oldest independent Negro state in West Africa, has been struggling for survival ever since its foundation in 1822. Progress has been hapered( 妨碍) by constant hostility between the Aerican Negroes whose failies returned there in the early 19th century, and the West Africans whose ancestors never left the continent. Though the two groups are of the sae race, they are divided by language and outlook and regard each other with deep suspicion（怀疑） creating a conflict which was not foreseen by Liberia's founders.
In addition, neighboring states, native tribes, disease, and poverty have ade life dangerous and difficult. The governent has tried desperately, through loans and a trickle of trade, to ake ends eet. Anxiety about financial atters lessened soewhat when, in 1910, the United States accepted responsibility for Liberia's survival. However, not until Harvey Firestone, the Aerican rubber king, decided that the United States ust produce its own rubber----with Liberia as the site of the rubber plantations----did Liberia have uch hope of paying its debts and balancing its budget.
The rubber industry, founded in the 1920's ,and the activity that followed it brought both progress and profit to Liberia. Before that tie Liberia had no roads, no echanical transport and no good port; its people had little education and few tools. Liberians feel that the country is being ruled by rubber. For this reason, the recent discovery of iron ore(铁矿石) is iportant.

Due to cliate change, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating probles for polar bears that ake their hoes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.
Polar bears off Alaska norally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has elted, the polar bears have been forced to spend ore tie on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the reains of whales caught by native hunters. For polar bears, this food is less nutritious than seals that they norally catch on ice sheets. The shrinking（减少） ice has also forced ore polar bears into the ocean. In the past, they only had to swi short distances between ice sheets. But as the ice has shrunk, polar bears have been forced to swi longer and longer distances in the open ocean. This poses a severe danger during rough weather, and an increasing nuber of drowned polar bears have been observed.
In Hudson Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring now than it did 20 years ago. Polar bears on Hudson Bay fast（绝食） during the suer, waiting for ice to for in the fall to hunt. Every year, the suer gets longer, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past 2ears, the average weight of the feale bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the nuber of births has dropped 15 percent. Unless the bears can learn to survive these cliate changes, these giants of the ice ay one day disappear.

第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

A.Current situation and future of reality shows
B.Audience’s reaction to reality TV
C.Critics’ relevant coents
D.Attractions for producers and participants
E.Definition of “watch and dial ”show
F.Introduction to new reality shows
56.
European television had the idea of taking ordinary people and turning the into “stars ”by putting the in unusual situation .”Big Brother”(created in Holland )was one of the first. A group of people were locked in a sall house with caeras running 24 hours a day .It was called a “watch and dial ”show because viewers vote by telephone to decide who should leave or stay.
57.
“Big Brother” was probably the fist of the new reality shows, but such a prograe has developed. any have found appeal by having a thee to the, but ost are based on the principle of “survival of the fittest ”by eliinating participants as the series progresses .So we have the dating shows where winners either pair off or stay true to their partners outside the TV studio .Then there are those that test people’s abilities for specific jobs like running a kitchen, becoing an interior designer or a top odel .
58.
Critics say these prograes are basically bad television, but people watch the. So why are there so any of the? For the viewer it’s an opportunity to “people watch”. It’s natural to like watching other people. They’re interesting. We can iagine what we would do in that situation. We get to know the characters and see the grow and develop week after week. And of course, television is the perfect place to watch people. Like the theatre or cinea we can look at other people and they can’t look back .But with television, we can watch in the privacy of our own hoes, We watch, but we don’t have to adit it to anyone .
59.
The TV copanies like reality shows because they are cheap to produce and attract younger viewers, which advertisers like. The last “Big Brother” in Britain attracted enorous advertising revenue. They aren’t dependent on “star” actors with enorous salaries. And your actors won’t go on strike. And why do people participate in the ?Well ,for fae and oney of course. In the past ,appearing on television wasn’t for ordinary people. You had to be good at soething ,like sport, or reading the news, or acting .But not any ore
60.
It sees that ost shows do well at the beginning but then the viewing figures begin to fall .And it varies fro country to country too. For exaple ,one show had an adopted child try to guess the identity of her real father, and another had a faily arguing over an inheritance .Both were cancelled after one episode. Perhaps the novelty has worn off. Certainly, reality TV sees to appeal uch ore to the younger audience. And now there are so any shows around even the young have becoe ore critical. Reality shoill probably survive—it’s just no longer so easy to ake a successful one .

Will house-robots replace housewives?
Scientists believe that the house-robots will replace housewives in the future with the rapid developent of science so that housewives will be freed fro daily boring housework and enjoy a better life.
I agree with the author to a large easure. I consider that the use of robots eans the social developent of science and technology because robots can free people fro such dull housework. What’s ore, soe high-intelligence robots can be designed to take care of the faily reebers, such as babies and elderly ones as well. However, it is still too expensive to use the achine nowadays, which will cost a lot to repair it when it is out of order. Furtherore, the achine oves slowly, unable to counicate with people in a real sense. Not every faily can afford a high-intelligence robot.
In brief, robots are useful for our failies. But it should be built like huans, and it should not be too expensive. I think it will take quite a long tie to actually bring the house-robots into our failies.
