30、 given in the passage you have just read.(A)Trees are useful to mankind in three important ways: they provide us with wood and other products; they give us shade; and they help to prevent drought and floods.Unfortunately , in many parts of the world, people have not realized that the third of these
31、services is the most important. In their eagerness to make quick profit from the trees, they have cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them they have lost the friends they had.Two hundred years age, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships , with which to
32、 gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced with floods and starvation.Even if a government realize the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade
33、 the villagers to see this. The villagers want wood to cook their food with, and they can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsmen. They are usually too lazy or too carless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system to control, or can educate
34、the people, the forests will slowly disappear.This does not only mean that the villagers sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious. Where there are trees, their roots breaks the soil up. That allows the rain to sink in and also binds the soil. This can prevent the soil f
35、rom being washed away easily. Where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface. That will casue floods and the rain will carry away the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.60. That trees ca
36、n help to prevent drought and floods is _A.not as important as the other servicesB.as important as the other servicesC.not importantD.more important than the other two services61. Perople cut down so many trees that they found that _A. they lost the best friends they hadB. their best friends made qu
37、ick profitC. their best friends lost treesD. their best friends died62. Two thousand years ago, the soil of a rich country became hard and poor because_A. it fell to pieces B.it was faced with floodsC.it cut down its trees to build warships D.it was faced with starvation63.It is difficult for a gove
38、rnment to persuade the villagers_A. to make charcoal B.to realize the importance of treesC. to carry wood to the town D.to cook their food with wood.(B)vacation at the end of summer school ended yesterday. Kevin had gone nowhere during his vacation. He had the money, but he hated to travel alone. He
39、 used to take vacations with Gary, his 五十四中学试卷 第 4 页 共 5 页youngest brother, but they had a big argument at the end of their last vacation. Each of them had spent the last three years waiting for the other to apologize.Kevin did not feel good about being on non-speaking terms with his favorite brothe
40、r. But he was not going to ask for forgiveness when, in his mind, this whole misunderstanding was his brothers fault.So Kevins summer vacation was spent in his own “back yard.” As usual, he had planned to clean up his apartment. As usual, two weeks later his apartment looked just as it had two weeks
41、 before.He did do one thing new and different during his vacation. There was a new coffee shop on Foothill Street. It served 25 varieties of delicious coffee at reasonable prices, and the staff was genuinely friendly.The shop was air-conditioned at a slightly chilly temperature. About eight small ro
42、und tables were inside. Outside were four bigger tables. Each had four white metal chairs around it, and several big umbrellas provided shade. Even on hot afternoons, there was usually a pleasant breeze.Kevin visited the coffee shop four times during his vacation. He always sat at a table outside by
43、 himself and read the free daily paper. Each day he was there, he read most of the newspaper articles while he enjoyed two cups of coffee.Between articles, he took breaks by watching the nearby traffic and pedestrians. The coffee shop was next to a huge parking lot. The lot was for customers of a gr
44、ocery store, movie rental store, pharmacy, bank, and restaurant. Kevin considered his outdoor seat the perfect place for one of his favorite activitiespeople watching.The coffee shop, with its excellent location and coffee, had helped make his vacation a pleasant one. But he knew in his heart, had h
45、is brother been there to join him just one day, his vacation would have been a perfect one. 64. Why didnt Kevin go anywhere during his vacation？A. Because he was short of money. B.

47、e air-conditioning system. C. It was often crowded with local customers.D. It provided free newspapers for customers.(C)When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental
48、health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good “So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic.” So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Dont wait for an
