Savile Row was first developed in 1695 as part of the Burlington Estate. It had been part of the gardens of Burlington House previous to this. Originally it was named Savile Street. Houses were built on one side of the street, with gardens on the other side and was therefore nicknamed Savile Row, with a row of houses on one side. The name was officially changed in 1810.
The first tailors appear on the street in 1785, and over the next fifty years the trend continued. This is what made the area famous. Many Savile Row Tailors have gone out of business or moved elsewhere within London,bottes ugg, but plenty still remain and it is still the place many men go for their tailoring.
Fleet Street is synonymous with the British Press. The street runs from the east end of the Strand through to Farringdon Street.
In the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century the trend for printers and publishers moving into the area began. Later, and more famously, newspapers started to move their offices to Fleet Street. The first daily newspaper to do this was the Daily Courant in the early 1700's. By the 20th century a large majority of London and National newspapers had their headquarters in the area. This is no longer the case though, as many of the papers moved out of Fleet Street from the 1980's. All of the main newspapers have now left and it is now more associated with law practices(事务所).
Harley Street is world famous for its medical practices. Prior to the 18th century it only consisted of a few houses and was part of the village of Marylebone; not yet part of the City of London. As London grew in the 1700’s century Marylebone became part of London. It was developed into a larger residential area between 1715 and 1720. Around a century later doctors started setting up home in the area, with a number of them setting up practices from then homes. As this trend continued the area became well known in this aspect.

By 2012,the world may need to cope with as many as 50 million people who have fled their homeland,not for political or economic reasons but
because the environment has been so badly changed that it cannot support life. The statement has been released by the United Nations to mark UN Disaster Reduction Day.
More people are made homeless by environmental disasters than by war,according to the research by the Red Cross. That reality is proved by the earthquake in Pakistan.
The widely publicized disaster has brought aid from the global community,according to Janos Bogardi,director of the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security. “If we can move swiftly in and give them a new start where they are,then they may stay in the area. Otherwise,they become environmental refugees. Environmental-related migrations are most acute in Sub-Saharan Africa,but they also affect millions of people in Asia and India. Meanwhile,the United States is witnessing increased pressure from victims of mismanaged and worsening soil and water conditions in Mexico and Latin America.” he says. Janos Bogardi says these refugees suffer from the impact of gradual environmental change—global warming,sea level rise,air and water pollution and more intense storms,floods and droughts that degrade the land. This is a slow process,but unfortunately a process that is very difficult to go backwards once final damage is done.
Janos Bogardi says they are calling on the global community to recognize the serious situation of environmental refugees and to work together to lessen the impact of environmental disaster. 66.What may be the best title of the passage?
A.50 Million environmental refugees by 2010
B.Environmental refugees—an international problem C.The cause of environmental disasters D.Global aid pouring in
67.Janos Bogardi’s attitude towards solving the problem us that of being ________.
A.constructive B.compromising C. controversial D. conservative

A.Water conditions in Mexico and Latin America are the worst in the world.
B.People have to settle down in another new area when a disaster happens.
C.Environmental-related migrations mostly happen in developed countries.
D.In some areas,people migrate elsewhere due to destroyed soil. 70.What is implied in the passage?

C.The damaged soil can recover soon if people take care of it. D.It is good for people to go elsewhere to make a living.

阅读下面短文,请根据短文后的要求进行答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求) [1]In most cases, the change from acquaintance to friendship occurs gradually. We reach out to offer friendship by offering a potential friend caring, listening, talking, sharing and accepting. It takes time and effort to build a friendship. They are built slowly, Yet, nothing can add more to your life than having truly close friends. “Just friends” is a goal worth seeking!
[2]Self-disclosure(自我表露)is usually the first step in hoilding a close friendship. It is scary because of the portentail rejection factor Do it anyway! Stary by sharing a few private thoughts with one person you might want to be a close friend. If the person is responsive, he/she will usually share personal thoughts with you.
