Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil, make the rain in, and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.21. The most important points of trees to man is that _.A. they help him to make money B. they give him cool C. they give him wood and other things D. they help him to stop drought and floods22. In many places forests slowly disappear because _.A. many trees have been cut down by man B. new trees are not well looked after C. man has not paid enough attention to planting trees D. all the above23.

The Usage of Tree Roots BWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I was not a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to bear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number . I couldand suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “Thats just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Dont shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” Daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, Ive never had a better piece of advice. 25. What did the father do after he had heard his daughters complaint(抱怨)? A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said and just do what she want to do. B. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings. C.

What does “Week by week her list grew” mean? A. She made a list of my shortcomings and kept on adding new ones so it was growing longer and longer. B. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me. C. I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on. D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious. 27. Why did her father listen to her quietly? A. Because he believed that what her daughters “enemy” said was mostly true. B. Because he had been so angry with her daughter and wanted to keep silent. . C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment. D. Because he was not quite sure which girl was telling the truths. 28. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage? A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend B. The Best Advice Ive Ever Had C. My Father D. My ChildhoodC Fix it on your ownDid you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if you drop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what's wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad (geelsquad.co.uk) have made a gadget (小机件) rescue guide. So, let's take a look at some of their useful advice.How to get more juice out of your phone batteryIf your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warm it under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone but use it quickly.What to do if your gadget gets wetFirst, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器). If a vacuum cleaner isn't at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your wet gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. Don't forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it.What to do if your TV remote control stops workingIf replacing the batteries doesn't work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens (镜头). When you press a button on the remote, if it is working, the glass bobble (小球) at the front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (红外线), even though your eyes don't. If the glass bobble doesn't light up, the remote is broken. If it does, the receiving device (装置) is broken.29If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can _.Awarm it up under your armBremove the battery after you dry itCput it into the uncooked riceDpress it with both of your hands30Why can a phone be used to prove the TV remote control works well? Because it can _.Aimprove the TV remote controlBreceive infrared rayCpicture the TV remote controlDreflect infrared ray31In which section of a newspaper can we possibly read this text?ALife BEntertainmentCFinance DCulture32The purpose of this passage is to give people _.Apersonal opinions Bprofessional guidesCnecessary warnings Dpractical tipsDAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a whilethen no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous_with_our_time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home.33The writer of this passage must be _.Aan American Ba professorCa Chinese Da student34Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AFriendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.BAmericans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.CAmericans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.DFriendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.35The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean _.Astrict with time Bwilling to spend timeCcareful with time Dserious with time第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项In our daily life, we have developed a lot of habits, such as, eating habit, study habit, reading habit, etc. However, taking the time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can't be forgotten. _36_Watching TV until you fall asleepIt has nothing to do with what you watchTV news isn't a better presleep choice than TV series. _37_.

If you've ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you've probably found the discomfort of stomach preventing you from falling asleep or staying asleep._39_Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a feverturning over and over again, never really feeling rested?
