Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products, they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods.

Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. 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 villager’s sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up—allowing 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 becomes 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.

The purpose that the writer wrote this article is to ______.         

     A. tell people the use of wood

     B. tell people the function of tree roots

     C. warn that man mustn’t destroy forests any more

     D. explain how trees help to prevent drought and floods

In the writer’s opinion, _____, or the forests will slowly disappear.

     A. measures must be taken

     B. people shouldn’t draw benefit from the tree

     C. government must realize the serious results

     D. unless trees never be cut down

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 impossible

In the last two paragraphs the writer wanted to make it clear that _____ .

     A. where there are no trees, the soil becomes poor but soft

     B. where there are many trees, there are more floods

     C. where there are no trees, the land might become desert slowly

     D. floods will make the land become desert

Our surrounding(周圍) is being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts can’t prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.

   What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim. So we are always ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from countryside to cities, eager for the benefit of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.

   Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going—and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.

Man can’t prevent the world from being polluted mainly because        .

     A. many man-made materials

     B. more cars, trucks and buses

       C. more people and more industry

       D. more cities

People crowd into the cities because_________.

   A. they want very much to find well-paid jobs

   B. they eager for the achievement of our modern society

   C. they have become tired of their homeland

   D. they have a strong wish to become industrial workers

The story about the airline pilot tells us that_________.

   A. man knows where the society is going

   B. people do not welcome the rapid development of modern society

   C. man can do little about the problem of pollution

   D. the writer is worried about the future of our society

What does the writer really want to say in this passage?

   A. With the development of technology, pollution has become a serious problem.

   B. Lower the speed of development to stop pollution.

   C. It’s time we did something to reduce pollution.

   D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.

Although the US is so big and its people have so many different racial backgrounds, it is in some ways less varied than Europe．The English language is used almost everywhere in its American form．The American way of speaking has developed independently of English and is on the whole closer to what can be heard in Ireland.

Another example of uniformity(一致)is in habits and ways of living．From Boston to Los Angeles it is as far as from France to Central Asia, and from east to west there are five time zones; but everywhere people get up and go to bed at about the same time, eat the same kind of food, buy in the same kind of shops, work and rest at the same time of the day and have the same pattern of holidays．In most of the things that matter there is less difference between rich people and ordinary people or between town and country, than in any single European nation.

Although far more food is produced than the present population needs, America is actually an urban society．Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in (從事) agriculture and most of the rest live in or around towns large and small．Here the traditional picture is changing; most Americans do not live in small towns any more．Half the population now live in some thirty metropolitan (大城市的) areas.

The fact that the United States has always been a single economic unit has contributed to uniformity．Modern industry favors large organization, and it is no accident that the world’s biggest commercial firms are American．The people can choose between the products of competing manufacturers (制造商) but the products are all much alike.

In describing the uniformity in the U.S．the author does not mention that the American people       .

A．get up and go to work at the same time   

B．spend their holidays in the same pattern

C．buy and eat the same kind of food       

D．have more or less the same income

What can we learn from the passage about the U.S．a(chǎn)griculture?

A．The American farmers need more land.

B．Americans are interested in farming.

C．It is now going backward.

D．It is quite developed.

The last paragraph suggests that ___       .

A．the production size in the United States is very big

B．a(chǎn) single economic unit produces the same kind of products

C．there are more and more competing manufactures

D．people can choose from all kinds of products that are similar.

The underlined part “In most of the things that matter” probably refers to       .

A．in most basic things such as food, clothing and houses

B．in the more expensive things such as cars, TV sets, etc

C．in their land, housing and bank savings

D．in their wealth and income

For all the dinner table, a glass of milk seems to be a constant , at least it was when I was growing up．It was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth. There’s no doubt that dairy products(乳制品), and milk in particular, are high in protein and calcium, and most milk products are supplemented with Vitamin D and A．

While it’s well known that our bones need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake doesn’t necessarily lower a person’s risk for fractures（骨折）． A Harvard study found that people who drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank a glass or less a week．

There’s no doubt that we need calcium, Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart disease． Much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products, like cheeses and creams, which may indeed contribute to cardiovascular problems． Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk of prostate cancer; this seems to be caused by high-fat dairy products, not dairy in general．

Although milk was always regarded as one of the most important thing we need for our bones, yet least promoted, factors involved in strengthening bones. Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a nutrient and more like a food. If you like it, eat it．If not, find some others． Because some claims may not be completely true, when I eat a cream, I’m not thinking about calcium, protein, or any such thing. I’m thinking delicious．

61．Which of the following is TRUE on the milk?

A．The more milk you drink, the more risk for fractures you might be．

B．The more milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be．

C．The less milk you drink, the less risk for fractures you might be．

D．There is no link between them．

62．Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to except______．

A．cardiovascular problems                      B．heart disease

C．prostate cancer                             D．stomach cancer

63．The underlined words “some others” in the last paragraph refer to_____．

A．dairy products               B．milk               C．food               D．cream

64．What’s the author’s attitude towards milk?

A．He doesn’t like milk any more

B．He used to drink milk as a child．

C．He regards milk as a nutrient．

D．He always cares about calcium, protein when he eats something．

65．We can learn from the text that_____

A．All the claims are not completely true ．

B．High milk intakes can lead to cancer．
