Farmers, especially in developing countries, are often criticized for cutting down forests. But a new study suggests that many farmers recognize the value of keeping trees.
Researchers using satellite images found at least ten percent tree cover on more than one billion hectares of farmland. That is almost half the farmland in the world. Earlier estimates were much lower but incomplete. The authors of the new study say it may still underestimate the true extent worldwide.
The study found the most tree cover in South America. Next comes Africa south of the Sahara, followed by Southeast Asia. North Africa and West Asia have the least.
The study found that climate conditions alone could not explain the amount of tree cover in different areas. Nor could the size of nearby populations, meaning people and trees can live together. There are areas with few trees but also few people, and areas with many trees and many people. The findings suggest that things like land rights, markets or government policies can influence tree planting and protection.
Dennis Garrity, who heads the World Agroforestry Center, says farmers are acting on their own to protect and plant trees. The problem, he says, is that policy makers and planners have been slow to recognize this and to support such efforts.
The satellite images may not show what the farmers are using the trees for, but trees provide nuts, fruit, wood and other products. They also help prevent soil loss and protect water supplies. Even under drought(干旱)conditions, trees can often provide food and a way to earn money until the next growing season.
Some trees act as natural fertilizers. They take nitrogen(氮氣)out of the air and put it in the soil. Scientists at the Center say the use of fertilizer trees can re-duce the need for chemical nitrogen by up to three-fourths. Trees also capture carbon dioxide, a gas linked to climate change.
1.Through the study, the researchers found that .
A. there are more trees on farmlands than expected
B. fewer trees are being cut in developing countries
C. most farmers still don’t realize the value of trees
D. trees play a key role in preventing climate change
2.Which of the following has the least tree cover?
A. Southeast Asia B. West Asia.
C. South America. D. Africa south of the Sahara.
3.In Dennis Garrity’s opinion, .
A. most farmers care about nothing but their own interests
B. there are usually few people living in areas with few trees
C. government plays a small role in tree planting and protection
D. government should support farmers in planting and protecting trees
4.The sixth paragraph mainly tells about .
A. how farmers plant trees
B. what products trees can bring
C. the importance of trees to farmers
D. the environmental value of tree cover

Isn’t it interesting how we expect others to behave in a certain way so we can feel good about ourselves? And then when people don't behave as we want them to, we feel so disappointed and angry ––– when really, most times, we’re not actually surprised at their actions? We just want those actions to be different ––– actions we’d be more comfortable with.
This week I shared a friend a wonderful home-cooked meal and a bottle of wine. About the time we got to the freshly-baked cookies, the conversation turned to her somewhat crazy sister. I had to smile, just a little, since her sister-stories had had much the same theme for the last two decades.When her frustration was just about to peak over her sister’s latest unbelievably selfish act, I suggested she begin trying “The Law of Patient Acceptance.” “How can I possibly accept her behavior?” my friend asked. “Acceptance doesn’t necessarily mean tolerance,” I shared. “It just means that you accept the person for who they are and you stop knocking yourself out trying to change them.”
Everyone has these difficult people in their lives from time to time. “Think of it this way,” I said. “If you were to go out and buy an ottoman(擱腳凳) today, thinking you were buying a chair, you’d be really angry that the ottoman was such a pathetic(差勁的) chair. But once you realize what you’re dealing with, once you accept the ottoman for what it is and you stop trying to turn it into a chair, your anger largely goes away.”
You have to accept people for who they are. Even when you’ve had high hopes that they might have been able to be someone else. “You can’t change people,” my Mother always said. And she was right. The best we can do is to see people as clearly and objectively as possible. For they rarely change.
1.According to the second paragraph, we can know that ________.
A. the writer thinks her friend should talk about her sister that way
B. the writer’s friend often complains about her sister
C. the writer advises her friend to spend more time with her sister
D. the writer doesn’t think her friend’s sister is selfish
2.By mentioning the example of buying an ottoman, the writer intends to explain ________.
A. how “The Law of Patient Acceptance” works
B. what the meaning of “The Law of Patient Acceptance” is
C. why greed and selfishness exist
D. when we should use “The Law of Patient Acceptance”
3.According to the writer, ________.
A. we should accept others for who they are
B. we should try to change others
C. we shouldn’t make friends with difficult people
D. we shouldn’t have high hopes for ourselves

Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. The beginnings of modem dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed.
Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea. Her great contributions are in three areas.
First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concerts. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (技巧高超) shown by complicated, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from (源自) her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.
Her second contribution lies in dance costumes (服裝). She discarded corset, ballet shoes, and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing clothes, bare feet, and unlimited hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.
Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies (交響樂) of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.
She was as exciting and eccentric in her personal life as in her dance.
1.. The best title for the passage would be“_________”.
A. Dance in the Twentieth Century
B. Artists of the Last Century
C. Natural Movement in Dance
D. A Pioneer in Modern Dance
2. According to the passage, nature meant_________ to Duncan.
A. something to conquer B. a model for movement
C. a place to find peace D. a symbol of disorder
3. The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses_________.
A. Duncan’s further contribution to modern dance
B. The music customarily used in ballet
C. other aspects of Duncan’s life
D. audience acceptance of the new form of dance

You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (擺動). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
1. What should you consider first while sailing?
A. Sailors’ strength.B. Wave levels.
C. Wind directions. D. Size of sails.
2. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The boat.B. The wind.
C. The sail.D. The angle.
3. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?
A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.
C. Lower the sail. D. Tack the boat.
4. Where can you probably find the text?
A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.
C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.
