       Trees are useful to men in three important ways: They provide them with wood and other products (产品),
    they give them shade (树荫), and they help to prevent drought and floods.
       Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, men have not realized that the third of these services is the most
    important. In their eagerness (渴望) to make money from trees, some people have cut trees down in large
    numbers, only to find that without them they have lost the best friends they had. And besides (此外), they are
    usually too careless to plant and look after new trees, so the forests slowly disappear.
       This doesn't only mean that men will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: where there are
    trees, their roots (根) break up soil-allowing the rain to sink in and also bind (固定) the soil, thus (因而)
    preventing it from being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the rain falls carrying away
    the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains (剩下) but worthless desert.
    1. Land becomes desert after all trees arte cut down, because ____.
    [     ]
    A. there is too much rain
    B. there are no more trees to keep the rich top-soil from being carried away by floods
    C. there is a strong wind
    D. roots of trees break up the soil
    2. People cut down many trees because ____.
    [     ]
    A. they wanted to get wood from them
    B. they wanted to get money from them
    C. they didn't realize the importance of them
    D. all the above
    3. Which of the following is NOT true?
    [     ]
    A. Tree roots can make the top-soil rich and the ground hard.
    B. Trees can make the rain sink into the ground.
    C. Trees can prevent drought and floods.
    D. Tree roots can take away the top-soil
  • 阅读理解。
        To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read
    and write. Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian. But when they went
    to England in 1902, English people couldn't understand a word they said and they couldn't understand what
    was said to them. These days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more Chinese are going
    out to foreign countries to work or study. So the spoken language is becoming more and more important.
         Speaking, of course, can't go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you
    must hear it correctly. Thy sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you
    don't listen carefully, you'll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.
         Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it's to exchange ideas. People generally use shorter words and
    shorter sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to
    write it in clear lively language.
         Chinese students read far too slowly. If you read fast, you understand better. If you read too slowly,
    by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you
    meet with new words, don't look them up in the dictionary. Guess the meaning from the context. You may
    not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts,
    their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word, you'll never finish a book. 
         Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and
    geography of the people whose language they are studying. They should study these subjects in the foreign
    language, not only in translation. In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language
    and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.
    1. In his first point the writer told us ______.
    [     ]
    A. how to speak English
    B. how to read and write
    C. why spoken English is important
    D. why English people couldn't understand Lenin
    2. In his last point the writer advised us ______.
    [     ]
    A. to kill two birds with one stone
    B. to learn two languages at a time
    C. to study all the subjects in a foreign language
    D. to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying
    3. In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on ______.
    [     ]
    A. how to read faster
    B. how to guess the meaning from the context
    C. how to look up new words in the dictionary
    D. how to grasp the general meaning of a passage
    4. "To kill two birds with one stone" means ______.
    [     ]
    A. to get some particular knowledge
    B. to get more than what one pays
    C. the stone is too big
    D. the birds are blind enough

    made to bark like real dogs. These"pets" might become more and more popular in the future. After all, robots
    don't lose hair or chew on things the way real pets do.

        Scientists said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74℃, the
    temperature in North China has climbed 1.4℃ in only 50 years.
        China needs to to cut carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) emission (排放), because it's the main reason for global
    warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. China set the goal of cutting
    energy use by 20 and pollution emission by 10 in the 11th Five-Year Plan.
        Can you slow down global warming? Sure! (3)You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of
    carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.

        ▲ Change your light bulbs (灯泡). Use energy-saving light bulbs. And don't forget to turn off the lights
    when you leave a room and turn off your television and computer when they are not in use!
        ▲ Ride the bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year.
        ▲ Say no to plastic bags. The next time your parents go to the market, ask them to use baskets.
        ▲ Open a window. Don't use the air conditioner (空调), and let some fresh air in. When you have to
    use the conditioner, set the temperature higher in the summer and lower in the winter to save energy.
            Make small changes in your daily life. Don't use paper cups, bags and boxes.
