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 (功能) is the most important. In their eagerness (渴望) to make money form 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 and carrying away the rich top—soil. When all the top—soil is gone, nothing remains (剩下) but worthless desert.
( ) 67. 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
( ) 68. 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
( ) 69. 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

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.
( ) 70. 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
( ) 71. 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
( ) 72. 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
( ) 73. “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

Scientists said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 °C , the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4 °C 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.
Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth.

▲ 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.

The trouble with Christmas is that it comes just before the end of the year. Early in January, lots of bills arrive. There I am, surrounded by presents, having spent all last year's salary and most of this year's, too, when little brown envelopes start dropping through the letter box. The gas, the electricity, the telephone-lots of pieces of paper, all asking for money.
I suppose the people who send these bills didn't want to spoil my Christmas, so they didn't send the bills to me before 25th December. It's really very kind of them, but I wish they'd send a letter to my bank manager explaining what is going to happen immediately after the holiday. Then he would be ready for me when I go to see him, and it would save me a difficult fifteen minutes while I explain why I need to borrow ￡ 200 and he tells me why I can't have it.
Next year it's all going to be different. In my house, we are going to have Christmas in July, during our summer holiday. So next December I'll have enough money in the bank to pay all the bills. It's a wonderful idea but the only problem is that my wife and children don't seem to like it very much..
67. The people the writer should pay ___________.
A. are kind to him
B. want to spoil his Christmas

A. worried because of so many bills
B. having a sunny day
C. worried about how to spend his holiday
D. visiting his friends abroad
69. The passage tells that _______________.
A. trouble sometimes comes with happiness
B. money is everything
C. no money means no happy
D. money can buy happiness

Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa .Which one do you think is the best?
I think health is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better health care.
-----Robin, aged 16, Birmingham
I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries. There is an old saying, “If you give a man a fish, you’ll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you’ll feed him for a lifetime. ” We need to help people to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears.
-----Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool
People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden , huge disaster(灾难) like the earthquake. It’s good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary(工资)to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference.
-----Mary, aged 14, Stratford-on- Avon
Giving money to charity can help, but it’s not the final answer. I think what these countries need is a good government.
-----Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle
The best thing we can do is to send experts like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves.
----- Robert, aged 16, Cardiff

Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day. In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way, it is—the language of science. You should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you may have to read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together. Do not be discourages if the whole passage don’t make sense to you at first. You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it.
These are the steps to follow when you are reading something difficult:
★ 1. Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn’t make sense to you.
★ 2. When a sentence doesn’t make sense, go back and read it again more slowly.
★ 3. Look for any word you don’t know in the sentence. Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues(上下文线索). If necessary, look them up in the dictionary.
★ 4. Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on. Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said.
★ 5. Finally, read the sentence again. Try to put it into simpler words.
★ 6. Read through the passage once. Try to understand all the hard parts well. Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed. This helps you to put all ides together.
The stops sound a lot harder than they are. It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read. After you have done the best you can this way, you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher, if you have one.
( )49. The underlined phrase “run into” means ___________.
A. work out B. come across C. look into D. pass by
( )50. From the passage, we can know _________.
A. we should look up new words before reading
B. it is sometimes difficult to read a science passage
C. the six steps are helpful in learning spoken English
D. interesting stories help readers to improve their English

On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged ,rich white South American lady found herself sitting next to a black man. 52 “What seems to be the problem, Madam?” asked the stewardess.
“Can’t you see?” she said. “You’ve sat me next to a black man. I can’t possibly sit next to this kind of human. 53 !”
“Please calm down, Madam,” the stewardess replied. “The flight is very full today, but I’ll tell you what I’ll do---I will go and check to see if we have any free seats in Club(商务舱)or First Class.”

More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.
One day the Prince wanted to go hunting with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle, which was like a small bed.
When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws on the Prince’s chest. Then the Prince saw the blood on Gelert’s jaws and head.
“What have you done?” the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.
“So you have killed my son?” the Prince said angrily. “You unfaithful dog!” He took out his sword and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.
The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt. Near him was a dead wolf. Then the Prince knew that Gelert had defended the baby and killed the wolf.
The Prince ran back into the house but he was too late. Gelert was dead. The Prince was very sad indeed. Tears ran down his face when he realized he had killed his faithful friend. The Prince carried the body of his brave dog to the top of a mountain and buried him there. After this, the Prince never smiled again. Every morning at dawn(黎明、拂晓), he walked up the mountain and stood by the dog’s grave for a few minutes.

His grandpa smiled, “Well, it must be a beautiful gift. May I open it now?” “Sure!” Jack said excitedly.
As Grandpa opened the gift, tears came into his eyes. Jack gave him the greatest gift he had ever got! They were business cards with his new position: FULL-TIME GRANDPA! Jack said, “Now your full-time job is my grandpa!”

Welcome to this short tour of London. In this square we are standing in the middle of London. Opposite is the National Gallery, a museum with lots of famous paintings. Go along the red street to Buckingham Palace. The queen lives here.
Turn left and go to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Opposite you can see the London Eye. It takes you 135 meters above the River Thames. You can see most of London on a clear day.
When you are tired, the best way to see London is by boat. You can get the boat near Big Ben. As you go along the river, the London Eye is on your right.
Get off the boat at Tower Bridge. Then you can see the Tower of London next to the bridge. The Tower of London is the city’s oldest palace. It is nine hundred years old.
Take the boat back along the river. Get off the boat and go past the station and walk along the street. Opposite is the old fruit and vegetable market. They don’t sell fruit and vegetables now. There are stores and restaurants, and lots of street musicians. Turn left into King’s Street, and go past the church. You’re now back where you started, at the square. Now you finish your tour.
56. Can you see most of London on a clear day?
A. Yes, I am. B. No, I’m not. C. Yes, I can. D. No, I can’t.

At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars. Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowed and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport should be much better. At present, our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars—it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceship can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars suck us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways, People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robot will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called “e-teacher”.
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same—meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today, Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
61. According to the text, by the year 2100, some of us will possibly live ______.
A. on Mars B. on the moon C. under the sea D. in the sun
62. So far, how long will it take us from the earth to Mars by spaceship?
A. Two or three days B. A few months C. A few days D. A few years
63. In the future, the students on Mars _______.
A. will study mainly through the internet B. will study mainly in a classroom
C. will meet each other face to face every day D. needn’t study at all
64. Life on Mars will be better than life on the earth because ______.
A. only a few people will live there B. there will be more space and less work to do
C. there will be much delicious food D. all students don’t need to do any homework
65. According to the text, which of the following about Mars is NOT true?
A. Transport will be much better and faster.
B. We need to develop a special plant which can produce water.
C. On Mars, we can jump higher than on the earth.
D. Food will be much more tasty.

Many Americans find silence uneasy. They will keep on talking to fill any quietness if it lasts for more than a moment.
Students often study with their radios on; housewives leave their televisions on for the “companionship (陪伴)”of sound even though they may be working in some other room. If you are silent for a long time, they will do their best to “draw you out” or will ask if you feel all right or if there’s anything they can do to help you. One way of silence can be puzzling, however, if Americans don’t agree with what you are saying, many of them will keep quiet. This may not show agreement; often it only means that they think it impolite to quarrel further.
51. If you don’t speak for some time, an American will .
A. think if there is anything wrong with you B. go away
C. keep silence, too D. be very unhappy
52. If an American keeps silent, it shows that he .
A. wants you to agree with him B. is angry with you
C. doesn’t want to quarrel with you D. has nothing important to tell you
53. “Draw you out” in the passage means “ .”
A. drive you out B. let you speak C. leave you alone D. pull you out
54. American students often study with their radios on because _.
A. they pay no attention to their study B. radios often help them with their study
C. they enjoy listening to the radio D. they can’t suffer silence even when they are studying
55. Which of the following is wrong?
A. Often Americans’ silence shows their politeness.
B. The American housewives like to leave televisions on even though they may not be watching.
C. Americans usually try their best to do what they can to break silence.
D. Americans will quarrel if they don't agree with you.

Two people sit down to play Go (围棋). One of the players is an old man. He is now 89 years old. He has spent all of his life playing this game. The other person is a young woman. She has been playing Go for only three years. Before this, the woman was an expert at playing computer games. Now she plays Go the same way she played computer games-by becoming a machine herself.
They will play many games, until they know who the winner is. The woman shows no feelings but thinking about all the possible ways of placing her next stone. The old man, on the other hand, looks at the movements of her hands and of her face. This has always helped him to win.
He wins the first three games. She wins the next game, and the man is surprised. He has never lost to a woman. The old man worries about the way the young woman is playing the game. He can’t read her face; he does not understand her way of playing.
“The way I think about the game” says the woman, “is that it is steps for getting what I want.” Again, the old man is surprised. For him, the game is a way of life itself, and not a model of life.
“There is no more beauty any longer. Everything is science and rules. Everything is about winning. Nothing is about playing.” he says.
They cannot agree with each other, but it is not necessary.
“Change is a necessary part of life” thinks the man.
“Playing is as important as winning.” thinks the woman.
They start to play their final game.
56. According to the passage, the Go games are played by ______.
A. two Go beginners B. two Go lovers C. father and daughter D. husband and wife
57. Before the woman plays Go, she was ______.

B. The old man wins all the games against the woman.
C. The woman has her own way of playing Go.
D. The woman is very slow in learning how to play Go.
59. From the passage we can know ______.
A. the old man doesn’t care who the winner is
B. the woman pays no attention to the steps
C. the old man learns something from the woman
D. the woman loses the last game to the old man
60. What is the best title of the passage?

Did you see snow in your hometown last winter? Did you feel it was warmer than before?
“There have been 21 warm winters in China since 1986,” said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 °C , the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4 °C in only 50 years.
China needs to take quick action 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 global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.
Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth.
Wear used clothes. Wearing your brother’s, sister’s or dad’s old T-shirt means you save the energy.
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.
It’s time for all of us to do something to save the earth.
61. The main reason for global warming is ______.

Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I wanted to have a rest before catching the train. I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop. It was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table and then went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone sitting in the next seat. It was a boy with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was coloured bright red at the front. He had started to eat my chocolate!
Naturally, I was rather uneasy about him, but I didn’t want to have any trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. (A) The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of my chocolate. I could hardly believe it. (B) Still I didn’t say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I got it.

“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me $10?”

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.
Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.
If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!
