Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains(平原).Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables(绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money, and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills(钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.25. How is bamboo like grass? A. It is thin and easy to cut.B. It grows everywhere.C. It grows quickly after its cut short.D. It is short and green.26. The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across.” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very _.” A. short B. strong C. thickD. tall27. Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo? A. Because it is cheap. B. Because it is colorful.C. Because it drills fast.D. Because it is used by Asians.28. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There are many different kinds of bamboo with different colors.B. Cables made of bamboo can last for over a thousand years.C. Bamboo can be used for buildings, bridges and watering projects (工程).D. Bamboo plants are able to grow well in any part of the world.CAmericans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds. The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees (费) . Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow-mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.29. According to experts, by 2012 the number of visitors _.A. may be doubled B. may rise to 50%C. will reach 250 million D. will go up by a second30. Which of the following is true according to the text? A. Visitors will pay less than before. B. The parks are not big enough to hold all visitors. C. Visitors may not necessarily buy tickets ahead of time.D. Only buses are allowed to enter the parks.31. Entrance fees may be increased _. A. because the National Park Service are short of money B. only for the development of the national parks C. to protect the animals D. mainly to limit the number of visitors 32. What can be inferred from the passage? A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks. B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer. C. The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution. D. National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible. DOne of the favorite foods in the United States is the hamburger(汉堡包), a kind of flat found bread with fine-cut beef(牛肉)in between. The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast food restaurant. At fast food restaurants, people order their food, wait a few minutes to get it over the counter, and carry it to their tables themselves. People also take their food out of the restaurant and eat it in their cars or in their homes. At some fast food restaurants, people can order their food, pay for it and pick it up without leaving their cars. There are many kinds of fast food restaurants in the United States, Most of the restaurants sell hamburgers or other popular foods among Americans, In addition(另外), there are many fast food restaurants that serve Chinese food, Italian food, chicken, seafood and ice-cream. The idea of a fast food restaurant is so popular that nearly every kind of food can be found in one. Fast food restaurants are popular because they show the American way of life, Firstly, they are not formal restaurants. People wear any type of dress when they go to a fast food place. Second, they are fast. People who are busy do not want to spend time preparing their food or waiting while someone else prepares it. In fast food restaurants the food is usually ready before the customer even orders it. Finally, most food in a fast food restaurant is not expensive. Therefore, people can often eat at a fast food restaurant without spending too much money, while they may not be able to go to more expensive restaurants very often.33. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Chinese food is also served in some fast food restaurants. B. People can have almost every kind of food in fast food restaurants. C.
