阅读理解。    Scientists (科学家) are trying to make the deserts (沙漠) into good land again. They want to bring water
to the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more
of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.
    Why is more and more land becoming desert? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing
bad things to the earth.
    Some places on the earth don"t get very much rain. But they still don"t become deserts. This is because

Plants don"t let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don"t let the wind blow (吹) the dirt (土) away.
When a little rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more
easily. 1. Deserts ______. [     ]

阅读理解。    There are many wetlands in China and some of them have become the world"s important wetlands. The
Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for
many different kinds of birds and animals. The world"s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More
than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world, but every winter
you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.

too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and
birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also
prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings.
This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
    Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the important of wetlands and wildlife. Every year,
on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands. 1. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the            of China. [     ]

阅读理解。Dear Amy,
    I couldn"t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken. I"m sorry to hear
about your problem, but I"m glad you"re feeling better and are recovering (康复). I"m surprised that
in China someone"s liver(肝脏) matched yours! This is really a moving story- a stranger donated part
of his liver to a girl he doesn"t even know!
    You"re right. We shouldn"t care too much about our weight. I"m happy you stopped taking those
weight-loss pills. From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital. To keep
slim is important, especially for an actress, but nothing is more important than health. Your doctor"s
advice is indeed very good- exercise for at least half an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and
vegetables.
    It"s not only in your country. It"s the same here with us Chinese- many people are always going on
diets or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. But in fact, some of them are not overweight
(超重) at all. I hope these people can learn something from your story. Hope you will leave hospital as
soon as possible.
                                                                                                                                      Love 
                                                                                                                                      XXX 1. Who does "a girl" in the letter refer to? [     ]
A. The writer of the letter.
B. Amy.
C. A stranger.
D. An unknown person. 2. Which country is the writer of the letter from? [     ]

B. China.
C. Germany.
D. England. 3. Which of the following is NOT right?[     ]
A. Amy has probably just received an operation on liver.
B. Amy is now probably in hospital recovering.
C. A Chinese man donated part of his liver to Amy.
