They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them.These people learn about them,find them out,and watch them carefully.Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded.They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike,snakes do something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone,and that is what we should do.If youre lucky,you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime.That would be fine with most of us.31.How does the writer describe the appearance of snakes?A.Something even without legs.B.Something not popular among people.C.A person who is neutral.D.A person who cares about nothing.32.Which of the following shows that most people dislike snakes?A.They welcome snakes as their best friends.B.They would rather see a mouse than a snake.C.They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.D.They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.33.Although some snakes are poisonous,.A.they cause many peoples deathB.they control the population of miceC.they are not dangerous to peopleD.they are only a small number34.People who really like snakes are open-minded because they.A.are able to put aside differencesB.think all the snakes are poisonousC.are able to deal with poisonous snakesD.take part in the poison argument35.The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer.A.dislikes snakesB.has the best luckC.loves snakesD.prefers to be left alone答案语篇解读本文是关于蛇的文章。31.A由第一段中的“What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.”可推断,作者用“something even without legs”来描述蛇的外形,故答案为A。32.B由第二段中的“Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake.”可知答案为B。33.D通读第三段可知,尽管有一些蛇有毒,但它们的数量很少。故答案为D。34.A由第四段中的“The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded. They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.”可知答案为A。35.C通读最后一段可知,作者是喜欢蛇的,故答案为C。BImagine one day, the water taps (水龙头)in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isnt enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the familys shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?Probably not. But thats what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply (供应). Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times:“In a good week well have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.” Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell waterat very high prices. “A lot of people cant afford it,” she said.The average (平均)person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic(立方)meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty(贫困)line of 1,000 cubic meters.The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.36.is the name of the capital city of Yemen.

A.the poor dont have to worry about the water supplyB.the 18-year-old boy is from a poor familyC.private companies make a lot of moneyD.Lahej is a beautiful place40.Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A.How to Save Water B.How to Make Use of Seawater C.How People Use Water Fully D.Yemen is Facing Serious Water Shortage答案语篇解读本文讲述了也门的缺水问题。由于缺水问题严重,政府经常切断水的供应。有钱的人可以买水来保证自己能够有足够的水可以使用,但水的价格太高,许多人都买不起。36.A在第二段中提到了“.Yemen is going to be the first country in the world.”以及其后的“.the capital, Sana.”,由此可知,Sana是Yemen的首都,故答案为A。37.B由第二段中的“According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.”可知答案为B。38.B画线的词是shortage,结合上下文可推断,由于水的“短缺”问题,政府经常切断水的供应,故答案为B。39.C通读第四段可推断答案为C。40.D通读全文可知,适合本文的最佳答案是D“也门面临严重的缺水问题”。CMike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute,Indiana.Last year,he taught his students about the worlds rainforests.They learned that rainforests are important because the plants and animals of the rainforest give us food,wood,and medicine.Destruction of the worlds rainforests is a serious problem.Unluckily,rainforests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project,Myers students bought three acres of rainforest in Central America.They paid $25 per acre.The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed.The students became so interested in rainforests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rainforest.So last June,Myers and four of his students went on a seven-day trip to visit the rainforests of Costa Rica.“The trip was wonderful.It was a very exciting experience,”said Myers.At the beginning of the week,the group took a boat ride down a river.They saw alligators and crocodiles.In the middle of the week,a guide took Myers and his students into the rainforest.“The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest.They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us,” one of the students said.“It was a great learning experience for all of us,”said Myers.Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants,animals,food,and culture.During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities.They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding,and visited Costa Ricas active volcano.Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.41.How much did Myers students pay for the rainforest they bought?
