PASSAGE ONE

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

    Since the earliest times, trees have always been very useful and important to man who made use of them in many ways. Even today trees continue to serve man in so many ways. Trees provide man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats and even bridges. Furniture such as tables, chairs and beds is made of wood.

     In the tropics(热带地区) where it is very hot throughout the year, trees protect man from the terrible heat. They are also useful in preventing good andrich topsoilfrom being washed away during heavy rains that are so common in the tropics.

     If there were no trees of vegetation of some kind to hold back the soil with their roots, heavy rain would wash away the rich surface soil that is so important and necessary to agriculture. The result is that the land becomes a desert.

     There are so many desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas must have been very fertile areas, but since our ancestors in the distant past did not have enough knowledge about science of nature, they cut down all the trees in the areas where they lived and never planted new ones. By and by, the rich surface soil was blown and washed away by Strong winds and heavy rains. In the end the lands were turned into useless deserts where nothing could grow.

21. The underlined words "richtop soil" (in Paragraph 2) means _____ .                     

    A. useless soil under the earth for agriculture

    B. fertile soil on the surface of the earth

C. fertile soil under the surface of earth    

D. dry soil in desert areas and bad for agriculture

22. According to the passage, some desert areas were once _____.                             

    A. fertile lands                 B. very wet

    C. very rich                    D. very dry and useless lands

23. If there were no trees, ____ ___.                                                          

    A. the land would become more fertile

    B. heavy rains would clean the tropics

    C. the richtop soil couldn't be held back

D. the richtop soil would become useless.

24. According to the author’s point, what should be done first? ___ __.

   A. do nothing to keep the balance of nature

   B. take no notice of the balance of nature

   C. try to keep the balance of nature

   D. learn knowledge of science of nature

25. The topic of this passage may be___ ___.

   A. The Uses and Importance of Trees

   B. How to Keep the Topsoil Fertile

   C. How Are Rich Lands Turned into Deserts

   D. How to keep the Balance of Nature

PASSAGE TWO

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

American women experience a great variety of lifestyles. A "typical" American woman may be single. She may also be divorced or married. She may be a homemaker, a doctor, or a factory worker. It is very difficult to generalize about American women. However, one thing that many American women have in common is their attitude about themselves and their role in American life.

     Historically, American women have always been very independent. The first colonists to come to New England were of ten young couples who had left behind their extended family (i.e. their parents, sisters, cousins, etc.). The women were alone in a new, undeveloped country with their husbands. This had two important effects. First of all, this as yet uncivilized environment demanded that every person share in developing it and in survival. Women worked along side their husbands and children to establish themselves in this new land. Second, because they were in a new land without the established influence of older members of society, women felt free to step into nontraditional roles.

     This role of women was reinforced in later years as Americans moved west, again leaving family behind and encountering a hostile environment. Even later, in the East, as new immigrants arrived, the women often found jobs more easily than men. Women became the supporters of the family.

     Within the established lifestyle of industrialized twentieth century America, the strong role of women was not as dramatic as in the early days of the country. Some women were active outside the home; others were not. However, when American men went to war in the 1940s, women stepped into the men's jobs as factory and business workers. After the war, some women stayed in these positions, and others left their jobs with a new sense of their own capabilities.

 26. A typical American woman is _____.

   A. single or married

   B. divorced

   C. sure about herself and her role

   D. all of the above

 27. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the second paragraph? __ __  

 A. Two contrasting views of a problem are presented

   B. Historical view is explained in comparison with the present

   C. A problem is examined and possible answers are given

D. An evaluation is explained and then reasons are given

28. During the industrialized twentieth century, the role of women __ ___.

   A. was strengthened

   B. was as important as early

   C. was declined

   D. was more reinforced than early days

 29. Women took part in men's jobs during the time of__ __.

    A. the West movement

    B. the Second World War

    C. was early immigration

    D. the industrialized twentieth century

 30. What is the main idea of this passage? _____.

    A. Different life styles led by the American women

    B. American women were free to step into nontraditional roles

    C. American women worked hard to establish their roles in American history

     D. American women were independent because they did not have to follow the regulations at all

PASSAGE TWO

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

“I've changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back. " Lucien Lawrence's letter to Father for Christmas written after his schoolteacher's father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched everyone's heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn't see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.

    But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I'm still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn't wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children.” I haven't forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.

   It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者), and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It's a serious thought, one to give me pause.

    I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword (剑)and my darling from the power of the dog. ” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I'm sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

31. According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph___ __

 A. puts forward the subject of the text

 B. shows the author's pity on the kid

 C. acts as an introduction to the discussion

 D. makes a clear statement of the author's views

 A. how much he misses his parents now

 B. why his parents often appear in his dream

 C. when Lucien will get over all his sadness

 D. how proud he was when he succeeded in life

  C. Disappointed          D. Worried

34. In the author's opinion, the value of a person's life is____ ___

  A. to leave behind a precious memory to the people related

  B. to have a high sense of duty to the whole society

  C. to care what others will remember and treasure
