She was told that her neighborhood used to be rich farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldnt see any sign that food was once grown there.Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official（官员）at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部）Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the countrys ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers, said Gan last Monday.As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares（公顷） of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. It will be really difficult to reach the goal, Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.（1）The article seems to tell us that_.A . farmland is in dangerB . countryside is turned into townsC . farmland has been soldD . Chinese cities are growing fast（2）From what Gan Zangchun said, we know he is worrying about _.A . Chinas development is too slowB . the population of China is growing fastC . Chinese people have worse life than beforeD . the reduction(减少) and pollution of the farmland（3）What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?A . 120 million hectares.B . 121.8 million hectares.C . 2.67 million square kilometers.D . Millions of square kilometers.（4）Which statement of the following is NOT true?A . Yang Nans new home is in a northern area of BeijingB . The country needs enough farmland so that the farmers can grow enough food for the people of China.C . Chinese cities are growing too slowly so the government encourages people to change the farmland into towns.D . Pollution is also an important reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland.（5）What will the government do with the problem of the drop in Chinas farmland?A . Government needs farmland to grow food for the people of China.B . Government will order not to build new towns any more.C . Government will stop the growth of the cities in order to stop selling farmland for business.D . Government will fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming dessert24. （15分）阅读表达。If you visit the animal shelter in Salinas, California, youll see huge wood cutouts(剪下的图形) of a dog and a cat. These signs were placed in front of the building to catch peoples attention. The supersized cut outs make people curious and encourage them to visit the shelter and maybe even adopt(收养) a pet. Each year, the Salinas shelter takes in around 2,000 dogs and 2,000 cats. The animals are either strays or are dropped off by people who couldnt take care of them. Of the 4,000 animals, some of them are finally adopted into new homes. Some animals are moved to other shelters. And, unluckily, some cannot be saved because they are too sick or are considered dangerous.Animal shelters provide food, medicine, and a safe place for animals to sleep. But they are not ideal homes. The shelters are loud, and the animals stay in small cages. The people who work at shelters do their best to care for the animals, but the animals do not always get the attention or exercise they need.To prevent so many animals from becoming homeless, pet owners should take care of their pets. One of the best ways to care for pets is to spray or neuter them. This surgery prevents cats and dogs from having more babies. And that reduces the number of homeless animals that end up in shelters.（1）How many dogs and cats does the Saunas shelter accept every year?（2）Why are the shelters not the best homes for the animals according to the passage?（3）If you find a homeless cat in the street, will you take it home? Why or Why not?四、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共5分)25. （5分）任务型阅读On my weekly math exam, I made a big mistake. _Even worse, in front of all my classmates he criticized(批评) me!
