People do not usually like floods but some farmers need floods when their fields are too dry.When there is a flood, the water carries mud and sand from the river bed to the field near the river. When the water goes away, the mud and sand become good soil.

People in many countries tell stories about a very big flood. The flood covered the world. Here is just one of those stories.

A long , long time ago there was a man called Noah(諾亞). He lived with his wife, his three sons and his sons’ wives. One day, Noah heard a voice. It said: “Noah, soon there will be a big flood. You must build a boat. You must put two of every animal and bird in the boat. Many, many people will die in the flood but you and your family will be all right.”

Noah and his family built a boat. They put two of every animal and bird in their boat. They put food in the boat, too. Then it started to rain. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. The water covered the world. The hills and mountains looked like islands. Noah’s boat stopped on the top of the mountain. At last the rain stopped and the flood went away. There was a beautiful rainbow in the sky. And the animals and birds left Noah’s boat. They ran, jumped, walked and flew away to live on the mountains.

1.Can floods be good for farmers?

High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.

But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven’t been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. “Why are we sick?” “What can we do?” ask all of them. No one has any answers.

Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. “Can you help us?” they ask. “Yes,” one hiker says. “I think it’s because of acid rain.”

“Acid rain comes from chemicals(化學(xué)物質(zhì)) in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks.”

“So, although I don’t want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!” says the wind. “And I carry it to the land!” cries the rain. 

“If you can help us think of some solutions(解決方法), we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment,” one hiker says. 

With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends.

Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better.

The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. “We’re glad things have started to change,” one hiker says. “And we’re glad you helped us make a difference,” says the other.

1.The underlined word “pure” can be replaced by “____”.

2.The two hikers are most probably ____.

3.____ have (has) nothing to do with the cause of acid rain.

4.The underlined word “you” refers to (指) ____. 

5.Which of the following is NOT true?

Dust storms are Beijing again. The people of Beijing are wearing masks to protect their mouths and noses. The dust storms are a problem for the people of Beijing. For several years. The storms have made being outdoors dangerous. Why do the sandstorms hit Beijing and How do we solve the problem?

The sand and dust are a problem whenever the wind comes from the north.. ①When the wind is________, it        dust and sand from the desert to north-west China.②Often the sandstorms are so bad that drivers have to be careful and use their headlamps to help them see what’s in front of them.

The Central Meteorological Station(中央氣象臺(tái))says that sandstorms are a problem in summer because the land is drier. This means that the earth does not stick to the ground and the wind carries more sand and dust. When there is more rain, this does not happen, but this area is one of the driest places in the country. Dust storms also affect(影響)other areas like central and northern parts of China. Gansu and Shanxi provinces are also affected.

   Sandstorms are a difficult problem because of people’s carelessness with the trees and grasslands. People are cutting down too many trees and raising too many sheep or cows on grasslands．So many grasslands and farmland become desert(沙漠)or sand. One way to solve the problem is to plant trees to hold earth to the ground. This will also bring more rain because plants help make the world’s rain. So, solving the problem needs a long-term plan. Today, the people of northern China have to protect themselves from the effects of this unpleasant natural disaster．
