              If you want your land to keep fertile (肥沃),you must try to stop soil from being carried away by water or winds.When soil is taken away by flowing water or blowing winds,we call it soil erosion (侵蚀).Ways have been found to stop soil erosion,and this is known as soil conservation (保存).One way of stopping soil erosion is to grow small plants such as grasses.These plants are referred to as cover crops,whose roots hold the soil tightly together.The rain water cannot wash away the soil When trees and tall bushes are planted at the edges of an open field,soil erosion by strong winds cannot take place.The trees and bushes,which act as a very big and firm wall,protect the open land from the winds.The way to stop soil erosionon slopes is to build terraces on the slope of hillside and mountainside.When the slope of a hillside is cut into"steps",water carrying soil cannot run straight down the terraces,which are used to slow down the speed of the flowing water containing much soil in it.In this way most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces.

              C. plant life of an area
              D. covering plants that produce grain or vegetables
              (3) Besides afforestation,another method to fight against erosion is to ______ .
              A. build terraces B. build walls

              When his book Little Princes begins,Conor Grennan is planning a yearlong trip around the globe,a journey that began with a threemonth volunteer service at the Little Princes Children's Home,an orphanage(孤儿院) in Nepal.

              It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists (存在 ) between all forms of life.No living thing can exist by itself; it is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together.If we change one part of the nature order,this will in turn almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.
              The cutting down of forests reduces the supply of oxygen.The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals leads to the widespread poisoning (中毒) of animals and birds.The throwing of waste products into the ocean hurts life in the sea,while waste gases change the chemical balance of atmosphere and shut out some of the sun's necessary life-giving rays.
              And so we could go on,adding more examples,until in despair (绝望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control and keep within limits these harmful human activities.Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate need,but he is not so clever at looking far ahead,or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be.Man may well destroy himself in his attempt (企图) to be too ambitious (野心).

              (1) The examples given in the second paragraph are evidences (证据) that ______ .
              A. it is during the last few years that man has generally known the balance of nature
              B. there are some living things which can exist by themselves without change
              C. all forms of life belong to a system in which all the parts can be changed for another
              D. we cannot change one form of life without destroying the balance of nature
              (2) The last paragraph suggests that,in man's attempt to increase immediate benefits, ______ .
              A. man often fails to think about his future results of his action
              B. man is always too ambitious to planning distant future
              C. man often feels that he will have to give up in despair
              D. man is always anxious to control and keep his activities within limits
              (3) Which of the following statements is true? ______
              A. Cutting down woods does little harm to human beings.
              B. Man has to pay much attention to the future results of his present action.
              C. Oxygen comes from forests.
              D. This passage tells us to try our best to get as much as possible immediately.
              (4) Which of the following is the best title of this passage? ______

              I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday.The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hill any day between 10:00and 4:00.Since I work from 9:00to 5:30,the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break.Unfortunately,the theatre is on the other side of the town,and the bus service between my office and Richland Hill is not very good.But if you are lucky you can make the round trip in 45minutes.Last Monday,I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus.By the time
              I saw one come round the corner,there was not enough time left to make the trip.So I gave up and went back to the office.The same thing happened on Tuesday,and again the next day.On Thursday,my luck changed.I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes.When I got there,however,I found a long line of people at the box office.I heard one man said he had been waiting in line for over an hour.Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line,I caught the next bus and headed back across the town.By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi.It was expensive,but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert.The trip by taxi only took 10minutes,but it felt like an hour to me.When I got to the theatre,I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line.The reason,however,I quickly discovered,was that they had already sold all the tickets.

              (1) The man learned ______ that there would be a concert last Friday.
              A. from his friends
              B. from one of his workmates
              C. over the radio
              D. from the newspaper
              (2) He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only ______ .
              A. once B. twice
              C. three times D. four times
              (3) The underlined word"relieved"may best be replaced by ______ .
              A. surprised B. pleased
              C. puzzled D. sorry
              (4) The story is mainly about ______ .
              A. a good concert
              B. the bad bus service in the city
              C. the difficulty of getting a ticket for a concert
              D. someone's disappointment (失望) at missing a concert.

              An only child, a perfectly ordinary little girl in rural Wisconsin, I wanted sisters more than anything. When I turned seven, my parents made a decision that delighted me beyond measure: they chose to adopt children.
              It was Christmastime when my two new sisters, aged 6 and 3, arrived from Colombia. When they came, our friends and relatives visited us bringing gifts to welcome them. That evening our guests went home and we were left to ourselves. My sisters and I went to the bedroom we were to share. As we crawled into our beds, our parents came to see each of us, saying goodnight. They whispered(低声地说)to my new sisters,"I love you."
              From the beginning these newcomers were like my own flesh and blood. We played and fought and learned just as if we had always been sisters. From the beginning we were all my parents' daughters equally, as they scolded(责备)and encouraged us.
              Life seemed great. Beneath the surface, however, my parents were struggling with their own problems. They didn't love each other any more. As we girls were approaching our teen years, my parents made an announcement,"We're getting a divorce."
              My sisters had been hurt before. They suffered a lot when their birth mother abandoned(抛弃)them, and none of us understood the depth of their inner pain. It was a pain that now came back.
              We all struggled during this time. My father remarried and tried to provide some sort of stability(稳定)for us through this new family: another mother, brother and sister. But the relations between my parents and sisters continued to disintegrate. By the time I left for college, there was profound coldness between the family members.
              During my college years, my outlook on life changed a lot. My sisters also began to reconsider their own lives and make changes that eventually brought us together as a family. We daughters now can understand our parents' feelings better. They have succeeded in providing us with a foundation of stable love. My mother and father have again become great sources of encouragement for us three sisters. One of my sisters has recently married, and family gatherings are now occasions of happiness.

              A. the author's two sisters were from Wisconsin
              B. the adopted children were taken to the family by their friends

              D. Because they were under too much stress from work.

              We awoke on a lovely morning.I cooked breakfast outside and we ate comfortably.I very rarely have breakfast at home,let alone a cooked breakfast,but there's just something about having a cooked breakfast when we are away in the caravan(旅行拖车).
              We decided to go in the direction of St Margaret's Bay today,and had lunch down there after having a drink in"The Coastguard".My wife and daughter went for a short walk along the front while I sat on the front taking in the sea air.The weather was unbelievably warm-I got a foldup chair out the back of the car and was quite happy sitting out on the seafront.
              Later we drove up to the National Trust area-"White Cliffs",where we spent a little time looking around,and enjoyed cakes and a drink in the cafe.I had to say,as National Trust cake goes,this was not up to their usual standards and I was slightly disappointed.
              Before returning to the caravan for tea,I thought it would be a nice idea to try and find a shop that sold cheese made by the Snowdonia Cheese Company.I tried this cheese at a stand at the NEC Exhibition just a week or so ago and really like it.After searching the company website for suppliers,somewhere in a layby,we found a place listed for Dover,so we went off in search.Unfortunately,the store was out of stock so we decided to ring around.
              It was still warm enough to eat tea out in the awning(凉篷),after cooking outside for the second time today on the Cadac.We sat out in the awning for a while after our meal,before eventually retiring into the van to watch TV.

              D. To explain why he made breakfast for the family.
              (2) When the author was preparing breakfast, ______ .
              A. he and his family were staying at home

              C. he and his family were on holiday

              PUBLIC SPIRIT

                     Each nation has its own peculiar(特有)character which distinguishes if from others. But the peoples of the world have more points in which they are all like each other than points in which they are different. One type of person that is common in every country is the one who always tries to do as little as he can and to get as much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than what is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return, is rare everywhere.

                     Both these types are usually unconscious of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talking about his “rights”: he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his share talks of “duties”: he feels that the individual is in debt to society, and not society to the individual. As a result of their views, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely.

                     The men who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses: if he was neglected to do something, it was because he had a headache, or the weather was too hot or too cold or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his stories; but soon they realize what kind of person he is. In the long run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurt. He blames everyone and everything except himself. He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly treated. He soon becomes one of the discontented(另人不满)members of the society he lives in.

                     His public spirited opposite is never too busy to take on an extra piece of work; that is the strongest thing about the whole business. If you want something done in a hurry, don’t go to the man who has clearly not much to do. He will probably have a dozen excellent excuses for not being able to help you, much as he claims he would like to. Go to the busiest man you know, particularly if you are sure that he has not a spare minute in the week. If your work is really important, he will make time for it.


              (1) Which of the following characters is common to most people of the world according to the author?



              A. Thrifty(节俭的). B. Hard-working. C. Selfish. D. Selfless.

              (2) The man who is always talking about his “rights” seems to think that ________.



              A. society is in debt to him
              B. the individual owes something to society

              C. both types of people behave strangely
              D. everyone should live a happy life

              (3) The passage suggests that the man who tries to avoid effort ________.

              I just sit here,watching the funny looking bird through the window.It's washing itself in the street full of rain from last night's shower.I should do my homework,but I just feel like it's my job to watch the funny looking bird.Then the bird flies away,and I turn on the TV and watch a show about buffalo(野牛).
              School's almost out,but I'm not there.I have to be sick,stuck inside under this blanket.It's such a beautiful day outside,and I feel so sick.My head is spinning.My brain starts pounding(敲击),like someone is hitting my skull with a hammer(铁锤).The sun is shining,which doesn't help;it just makes it worse.It's the first time I have felt like the sun is a bad thing.
              Even though my brain hurts,I start to think. I let my imagination go.Somehow(不知怎么地) the thought of an angel comes into my head.What do they look like?I take out a piece of paper and start drawing what I think an angel looks like.In the finished drawing,the angel is wearing a smile,which makes me smile,and I feel a little better.Tomorrow will be another day,I think.At that,I fall asleep.
              "Anyone home?"greets me as I awaken.
              "Hi,Mom,"I reply.

              To me,life without music would not be exciting.I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert,and listening to the record.But music plays an important part in everyone's life,whether he realizes it or not.Try to imagine,for example,what films or TV plays would be like without music.Would the feelings,the moving plot,and the greatest interests,be so exciting or dramatic?I'm not sure about it.
              Now,we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning-the kind of music we hear in the concert hall.But if we look at some parts of music more closely,we discover them in our everyday life too-in the rhythm of the sea,the melody of a bird in the woods and so on.So music surely has meaning for everyone,in some way or other.And,of course,it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
              It is well said,"Through music a child enters into a world of beauty,expresses himself from his heart,feels the joy of doing things alone,learns to take care of others,develops his mind and makes his body strong."
