　　We are now living in the modern city. Most of the energy which we are using for heating lighting,transportation and manufacturing（工业生产）is from fossil fuels（化石燃料）. These are carbon-based(碳基燃料) fuels from oils,coal and natural gas. When we burn these fuels we release（释放）heat which p___81____ the energy.

 

　　There are three major disadvantages to using these fuel. Firstly, they are causing climate problems because fo the g___82____effect. When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide （二氧化碳）which causes global warming. Secondly, when we have used up all our coal,oil and natural gas, we will have n___83____left to burn.

　　D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)

 

　　Uniforms, used for identifying people, are seen almost everywhere in the world. They are a part of everyday life. Let’s look at some of the reasons why people wear uniforms and the types of people that wear uniforms.

 

　　Many children have to wear a uniform at school. Boys and girls must wear the same coloured clothes and a school tie. There is often a school badge on the jacket or shirt. There are many reasons for having a school uniform. Firstly, the uniform shows that the children attend the same school,It is important for children to feel they belong to a school and that they identify with their school. Secondly, the uniform makes it easy for other people to tell which school they go to and the children are proud of their school. Thirdly, school uniforms are comfortable, smart clothing .Finally, it is cheaper for parents to buy one set of clothes for their child. Most parents cannot afford to buy lots of expensive, fashionable clothes for their children.

 

　　It is not only children who wear uniforms.Think about police officers,bus drivers, security guards,chefs, waiter,and bank clerks. They all wear special clothes for their jobs. These clothes are comfortable and practical for their daily work. Their uniforms also allow the public to recognize them at once.

 

　　Many other people wear uniforms too. A business person usually wears a dark suit, a white shirt, a tie, and carries a briefcase to the office. A builder wears jeans, strong shoes and a T-shirt. The clothes a person wears tell other people the kind of job the person does.

 

　　Go to a shopping mall at the weekend. You will see groups of teenagers wearing blue jeans, colourful T-shirts and baseball caps. These clothes say, ‘We are young and free. We do not need to work.’But they are all wearing the same clothes as part of the same group. Although they may not like the uniform they have to wear at school, they like to have a group identity. At the weekend, they have a group identity by wearing the same styles of clothes as their friends. This is also a uniform-----the uniform of youth.

 

　　Clothes communicate many thing about the wearers: their jobs, their social groups, even their attitudes. What do you want to tell people through the clothes you wear?

 

　　88. Are children the only people who ware uniforms?

 

　　_____________________________________________________________________.

 

　　89. Why are children on their best behaviour when they wear their school uniforms ?

 

　　_________, ___________________________________________________________.

 

　　90. Why do police officers wear uniforms?

　　_____________________________________________________________________.
