In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal(木炭) or selling wood to the townsman（城市居民）. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.This does not only mean that the villagers sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil upallowing the rain to sink in and also hold the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil bees hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.56. The purpose that the writer wrote this article is to _.

In the writers opinion, _, or the forests will slowly disappear. A. measures must be taken B. people shouldnt draw benefit from the tree C. government must realize the serious results D. unless trees never be cut down58. According to the article we know it is _ to prevent the forests from slowly disappearing. A. necessary but impossible B. necessary but difficult C. impossible and unimportant D. difficult and impossible59. In the last two paragraphs the writer wanted to make it clear that _ . A. where there are no trees, the soil bees poor but soft B. where there are many trees, there are more floods C. where there are no trees, the land might bee desert slowly D. floods will make the land bee desert B My husband and children think they are very lucky that they are living and that its Christmas again. They cant see that we live on a dirty street in a dirty house among people who arent much good. But Johnny and children cant see this. What a pity it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of all this dirt. I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that weve saved isnt nearly enough. The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy(糖果)while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldnt eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer(下水道). Why, is it only because they have money ? There is more to happiness than money in the world, isnt there?Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isnt rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. She can read your mind. Id like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grow up. 60.

D Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants. Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has todaya person who is new in a job. Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression es from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died. The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs. Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not. 69. Greenhorn now refers to _. A. a person who is new in a jobB. a new solider C. a young horse D.

A. who is good at growing plants B. whose thumbs are in green color C. whose garden is greener than others D. who is younger than his neighbors 71. The author is actually talking about _. A. colorsB. language C. politicsD. agriculture 72. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.B. The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs. C. The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare.D. The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jealous. EA sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you bine the two to do something for your local environment? As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable (生物所能分解的) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.Scientists have e up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明的) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “Weve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief (缓解) for nature , according to the scientists.“The seed es out and the flower grows in the pot so you dont have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.73.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.B. To persuade the reader to buy the biodegradable cell phone.C. To discuss the development of phone technology.D. To introduce an environmentally-friendly cell phone to readers.74.People throw away their cell phones most probably because _.Athere is something wrong with themBno sunflowers can grow out of themCthey are out of fashionDthey are being cheaper and cheaper75.It could be learned from the passage that _.Adeveloping the new type of phone is mainly to protect the environmentBphone-makers will benefit much more from the new type of phoneCthe new type of phone will certainly be popular with users all over the worldDthe phones that can be recycled are available only in Britain now第四部分 写作第一节 根据短文内容填入恰当的词，并注意其形式。(答案请填在答题卡上)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today t
