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 make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil allowing the rain to sink in and also bind（固定）the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily；but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
Two thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire(帝国）．It set up the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became poor and grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation（饥荒）．
小题1:The most important service of trees to man is that___________．
| A．they give them wood and other products | B．they give them shade |
| C．they help him prevent droughts and floods | D．they help him made money |
| A．many trees have been cut down by man | B．man has not paid enough attention to planting trees |
| C．new trees are not looked after properly | D．all the above |
| A．roots of trees break up the soil | B．there are too many rainfalls |
| C．there are no larger trees to keep rain and protect the top-soil | D．strong winds bring a lot of sand |
| A．it set up an empire | B．the empire fell to pieces |
| C．it built too many warships | D．it lost its trees |
| A．Trees and Man | B．How Trees Prevent Droughts and Floods |

We can see the modern facilities everywhere in the city like the Internet, telephone, television and satellite communication facilities are widely available in the city. A majority of families in the city are enjoying this technological advancement.
The increasing population has led to an imbalance in human population. More and more industries have led to environmental problems like pollution.
However, the rise in economic growth has resulted in a self-centered nature of society. While technological advancement has brought the world closer, human beings have gone far apart from each other.
The country is not crowded with constructions all over. Houses are rather widely spaced with enough room for fields and gardens. The country is the only area fortunate enough to house the greens. People in the country live in close to nature. Apart from people, there is room for pets and animals that help keep a balance in nature.
Due to a lesser number of people in the country, it is not overcrowded by people. These areas have least amounts of pollution. Pollution is less also because of very less number of industries in the country. The life may not be as enjoyable as that in the city, but the people there are generous, kind and friendly. The country is the one where humanity(人性) is still alive.
Every coin has t
wo sides to it. While we can’t enjoy expensive things and technology in the country, it is rich in its relationship with ‘nature’. The city life is modern in te
chnology and career opportunities. However, the falling humanity and a bad environmental balance affect the bright future of city life.小题1:What’s the main purpose of the passage? _________.
| A．To persuade more people to live in the country. |
B．To inform us of some information about a better l ife. |
| C．To tell us differences between city life and country life. |
| D．To explain why people don’t want to live in the city. |
① ① ①
| A．②③④⑤⑥ | B．②③④⑤⑥⑦ | C．①②③④⑤⑥ | D．④⑤⑥②③ |
小题3: According to the passage, the main reason for pollution is ____________.

| A．it’s up to you whether to choose city life or country life. |
| B．both city life and country life have advantages and disadvantages. |
| C．more and more people will move to the country in the future. |
D．the young prefer city life while the old choose country life. |
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing (释放) chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.
The research has caused a great deal of argument（争议）. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers" troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
"Some memories can ruin people"s lives. They come back to you when you don"t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I"m not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
小题1: The passage is mainly about .
| A．a new medical invention | B．a new research on the pill |
| C．a way of wiping out painful memories | D．an argument about the research on the pill |
| A．cause the brain to fix memories | B．stop people remembering bad experiences |
| C．stop body producing certain chemicals | D．wipe out the emotional effects of memories |
| A．people doubt the effects of the pills |
| B．the pill will certainly stop people"s emotional memories |
| C．taking the pill will do harm to people"s physical health |
| D．the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America |
| A．some memories can ruin people"s lives. |
| B．people want to get rid of bad memories. |
| C．experiencing bad events makes us different from others. |
| D．the pill will reduce people"s sufferings from bad memories. |
| A．guidebook | B．medical magazine | C．textbook | D．science fiction |
Behavioral problems of gifted children could be mainly correlated（相关的） to their asynchronous（不同步的） development. This development means that the child has uneven（不均衡的） development in their mind, body and emotions. To explain further, a gifted child may live in different ages at once. He may show high intellectual（智力的） capabilities at some point but the time his emotions rule, he would go back to his true age going through tantrums（脾气发作） and endless sobbing（哭泣）. He maybe find it happy playing with kids his age but the next day, he would be bored with that and he would find conversing with older kids to be more challenging.
Because of high intellectual level, a gifted child often acts differently in his own classroom. He has the thinking of being above from the rest of his classmates when it comes to grades, academic awards and school recognitions. In classroom discussions, the child may be very cooperative（合作的） having advanced knowledge in the lessons but it is mostly that he will suffer from boredom as he is not challenged by the lessons and he would feel no improvement with them.
小题1:Which of the following best explains the asynchronous development?
A A child has good development both in mind and body.
B A child cannot get along well with his classmates.
C A child is intellectually developed but not equal with emotionally.
D A child doesn’t feel happy with his school and teachers.
小题2:What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?
A How a gifted child gets along with his classmates.
B How to get a gifted child involved（被卷入） in a classroom discussion.
C What can arouse（激发） a gifted child’s interest.
D How a teacher should handle a gifted child in class.
小题3:We can infer from the passage that ______.
A we needn’t pay special attention to gifted children
B a gifted child is well above others in every way
C it’s best to teach a gifted child separately
D teaching a gifted child can be challenging
So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?
The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?
The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.
Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.
We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.
小题1:The first paragraph serves as a(n)______.
| A．argument | B．comment | C．explanation | D．background |
| A．They color the road lines. |
| B．They are embedded in the Solar Road Panels. |
| C．They are beneficial for nighttime driving. |
| D．They can provide instant instructions. |
| A．Guide them to a safer place. | B．Remind drivers to drive slowly. |
| C．Frighten them away from the road. | D．Advise drivers to choose another way. |
| A．provide heat for drivers in winter |
| B．guide drivers who get lost on the highway |
| C．melt snow and ice soon in winter |
| D．help drivers see the road clearly in the sun |
Brighton is a small city but there’s probably as much going on here as anywhere in the country except London. Brighton has numerous entertainment facilities, which additionally serve a considerable business conference industry. There’s a huge range of entertainment venues, including comedy at the Brighton Komedia, world music, opera and ballet at the Brighton Dome, jazz at the Joogleberry, top stars at the Brighton Centre and pre-West End shows at the Theatre Royal.

Students at the two universities in the area give the city a youthful vitality (活力), and in the summer, thousands of young students from all over Europe gather in the city to attend language courses. In addition to the usual coastal attractions, vacationers are drawn to the city’s Georgian architecture, trendy shops, and fine restaurants.
