Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm,but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls.Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon(雨季) begins.Thus these areas are known as the “monsoon forest”.
Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains.It is often called the “cloud forest” because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.
The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees.Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds.When the fruits are eaten,the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals’ stomachs and are passed out in their droppings.The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees.
小题1:The climate of the rain forests near the equator is _______.
A.mild,wet and windy | B.hot,rainy and foggy |
C.hot,wet and cloudy | D.warm,wet and sunny |
A.tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forest |
B.there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains |
C.clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to grow |
D.the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees |
A.animals | B.droppings | C.fruits | D.winds |
A.a travel guide | B.a story book |
C.a technical report | D.a geography book |

Diane Arbus was born in 1923 to a wealthy family in New York City. After finishing high school at the age of 18, Diane married Allan Arbus. Mr. Arbus worked in the advertising department of her father’s store.
It was Mr. Arbus who gave Diane her first camera. Diane soon decided to take a class with the famous photographer Berenice Abbott. The Arbuses eventually started taking photographs of clothing. These images were used as advertisements for Diane’s father’s store. After the birth of their daughter, Doon, the Arbuses started a business together. Their purpose was to photograph clothing fashions. Diane Arbus was the stylist. She would prepare the hair and faces of the fashion models who wore the clothing being photographed. Allan Arbus took the pictures.
The couple soon had jobs from important fashion magazines such as “Vogue” and “Harper’s Bazaar”. Their work was very successful during the 1950s. They became part of a group of artists that were helping to redefine visual culture. They were breaking with past traditions to create a new look for a new decade, the sixties.
But Diane was not satisfied with her secondary role. She wanted a more active part in making photographs. She wanted to explore her own artistic expression and freedom. To do this, she stopped working with her husband. Then she started taking photography classes at the New School in New York City.
Arbus’ teacher, Lisette Model, influenced her in many ways. She showed Diane how to use a camera like an expert. She also taught Diane to use her art to face her doubts and fears. Miss Model once said that Diane soon started “not listening to me but suddenly listening to herself.”

Michael 44 Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student.Soon afterwards,his teacher permitted him to take more courses than 45 .In 1968,he was accepted by the School of Medicine,Yale University.

But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated(孤寂),less skillful at person-to-person relationships,and perhaps numb(麻木) to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world.“And a teen’s sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,”said Sherry Turkle.
Another researcher,Robert Kraut,said he’s worried about the “opportunity costs”(机会成本) of so much online time for youths.He found that teens who used computers,even just a few hours a week,showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation.“Chatting online may be better than watching television,but it’s worse than hanging out(闲逛) with real friends,”he said.
Today’s teens,however,don’t see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives.“School is busy and full of pressure.There’s almost no time to just hang out,”said Parker Rice,17.“Talking online is just catch-up time.”
Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply.Some teens admit that asking someone for a date,or breaking up,can be easier in message form,though they don’t want to do so.But they insist there’s no harm.
小题1:The researchers argue that______.
A.teens may develop a different sense of values |
B.nothing is wrong with teens’ chatting online |
C.teens can manage their social connections |
D.spending hours online does much good to teens |
A.use computers properly |
B.improve their school work |
C.develop an interest in social skills |
D.reduce their mental pressures |
A.teens’ pleasant online experience |
B.teens’ computer skills and school work |
C.the effects of the computer world on teens |
D.different opinions on teens’ chatting online |
A.describe computer research results |
B.draw attention to teens’ computer habits |
C.suggest ways to deal with problem teens |
D.discuss problems teens have at school |
Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1500,agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday.They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.
Last month,San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags.Internationally,laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland,where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out.Bangladesh already bans them,and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.
Modbury,about 225 miles southwest of London,has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期),allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home.They will be sent for traveling.
The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking,who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman.She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”.
“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,”Hosking told Sky News Television.
The Worldwatch Institute,an environmental research agency,states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone.More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.
小题1:What was Rebecca Hosking?
A.A lawyer. | B.An environmentalist. |
C.A sailor. | D.A photographer. |
A.acceptable | B.valuable |
C.throw-away | D.long-lasting |
A.most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bags |
B.fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world |
C.San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world |
D.most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags |
A.Environmental Protection |
B.Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags |
C.Effect of Plastic Bags on Sea Animals |
D.British Town Banning Plastic Bags |
Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs,catching their responses to a range of stimuli(刺激物) with video cameras.To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years.The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Ban University.The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli.They were tested one at a time.
The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged energetically to the right side.When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right,but with somewhat less enthusiasm.The appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag,although with less intensity again.The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog,similar to a German shepherd,changed the direction of tail wagging to the left.Reseachers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back.When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left,suggesting they preferred company.While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video,it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood(心情) of dogs.Computer and video systems,for example,could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.
小题1:The video cameras were used to catch the dogs’ responses because _______.
A.it was easier to catch the dogs’ response changes in the tail wagging |
B.the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time |
C.they enabled the dogs’ owners to know about their dogs’ habit |
D.the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods |
A.surprise | B.worry |
C.excitement | D.interest |
A.wag to the left | B.wag to the right |
C.not wag at all | D.wag to the left and then to the right |
A.the dogs | B.the trainers |
C.the systems | D.the researchers |
A.to train dogs for their owners |
B.to help people judge the mood of dogs |
C.to help dogs find company |
D.to help people choose their pet dogs |
