The Amazon forest in Brazil covers five million square kilometers. It has one third of the world’s trees. However, the trees are disappearing. By 1974 a quarter of the forest had already been cut down.
Scientists say that the disappearance of the trees is already causing changes in the weather. In Peru, there is less snow than before on the high top of the Andes Mountains. In Bolivia there is less rain than before but more wind. In some parts of northeast Brazil there is now very little rain.
According to scientists, two things are likely to happen if more trees of the Amazon forest are cut down:there will be serious effects (影响) on the world’s weather, and the air that we take in will lose some of its oxygen (氧气). Why
Trees get carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) from the air and give out the oxygen into the air. The trees of the Amazon forest are very active, and some scientists believe that they provide 50% of the world’s yearly production of oxygen. If we lose the tropical forests (热带雨林), the air will have less oxygen and more carbon dioxide. It will become difficult for us to live on the earth.
With more carbon dioxide in the air, the temperature will rise, and the ice at the North and South Poles will melt (融化) because of the rising temperature. As a result, the sea level will rise, and hundreds of cities by the sea will disappear, too.
All scientists agree that if we keep hurting the Amazon forest, it will be “environmental suicide (自杀)”—like losing an ocean. Life on earth will become difficult, and it may become impossible to live on the earth any more.

It is hard to imagine that the only drinking water available for some kids in Africa is brown dirty water. As many as 6000 children under the age of 5 die every day because of polluted water. I never had any reason to think about the terrible fact. I can always find clean water to drink whenever I want it.
But I was shocked when I saw a video about children walking miles to get water. And the water wasn’t even clean. I couldn’t imagine missing school for that.
What I did believe was that I must do something to help. My school was organizing a group to run the Chicago Marathon. Each runner had to raise more than $1000 to be in the race. All the money would be used for drilling wells (钻井) in Africa.
I was the youngest one to run the marathon. I had never run more than 7 miles, but I knew that running 26.2 miles would be nothing compared to the pain children in Africa had gone through. Since finishing the marathon, also my first, I have started a running group called Sole Sisters. It is made up of girls who run to stay healthy and raise money for charities (慈善) that do things like helping protect the environment.
Some people might think they are not powerful enough to make a difference. But all it makes is one person.
( )33. What is “the terrible fact” according to the passage
A. That the only drinking water available for some kids in Africa is brown dirty water.
B. That as many as 6000 children under the age of 5 die every day because of polluted water.
C. That there is not enough clean water for some African kids to drink every day.
D. That the writer could not do anything to help those poor thirsty children in Africa.
( )34. What does the underlined word “that” refer to
A. Organizing the Chicago Marathon. B. Finding clean water to drink.
C. Walking miles to get water. D. Raising money to be in the race.
( )35. Who of them could take part in the Chicago Marathon according to the passage
A. Frank, who was a friend of some African boys’. B. Gina, who was very good at running.
C. Bill, who saved a lot of clean water. D. Dale, who raised more than $1000.
( )36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The writer was younger than any other runners in the Chicago Marathon.
B. The writer used to do a lot of running at school every morning.
C. The writer thought it was easy to run a marathon at first.
D. Sole Sisters is a running group started by the writer’s school.
D
All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, or one eats and the other is eaten. One kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain. All food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of them disappears.
All life needs sunlight (阳光) to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are “factories”. They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil (土壤) and air.
Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy (能量) after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.
What about human beings We are members of any food chain. We eat rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat. But men often break up the food chain. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.
Each form of life is linked (联系) to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.
( )37. What can we infer from Food chains
A. Every life needs food. B. Plants are very important.
C.No living thing can live alone. D. Living things need different food.
( )38.What does the underlined word “diseases” probably mean
A. joys B. gifts C. prizes D. illnesses
( )39.Which of the following can change the sun’s energy into food
A. Plants. B. Humans. C. Plant-eating animals. D.Meat-eating animals.
( )40.Why did the writer write this passage
A. To tell us not to kill animals. B.To tell us not to break the links of life.
C.To tell us not to worry about food chains. D.To tell us not to eat fish from polluted water.
E
Air pollution is made up of small things in the air. They can be bad for the health of humans, animals and plants. It also does harm to buildings. Pollutants (污染物) in the air may be gases (气体), small pieces or little water drops.
Pollution comes into the earth’s air in many different ways. Most air pollution is caused by people, like terrible gases from factories, cars, planes or other things. Second-hand smoke is also considered as air pollution. These kinds belong to man-made pollution. Some types of air pollution, such as smoke from wild fires or volcanoes’ ash (火山灰) happen naturally.
Air pollution is the most common in large cities. Sometimes, mountains or tall buildings prevent air pollution from flying out. This air pollution often appears as a cloud making the air dirty. It is called smog (烟雾).
Large cities in poor and developing countries are easy to have more air pollution than cities in developed countries, just like New Delhi, India; Beijing, China; Lima, Peru and Cairo, Egypt. However, many developed countries also have air pollution problems. Los Angeles, California of America is jokingly called Smog City.
People experience a lot of health effects from air pollution. Short-time effects are like illness about the nose, throat or eyes. Long-time effects can be for years or for a life. They can even lead to a person’s death.
( )41. Which paragraph mainly tells us how air pollution is caused
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
( )41. Which city of the following has less air pollution according to the passage
A. Los Angeles B. New Delhi C. Beijing D. Cairo
( )43. What does the underlined word “effects” probably mean
A. results B. changes C. influences D. problems
( )44. What would be the best title of the passage
A. Man-made pollution B. Environmental situations C. Smog cities D. Air pollution
B) 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中，选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。
The great development of technology causes a waste of natural resources (资源). (45)___________ This is a great way to save the earth and keep natural balance (平衡).
Through the process of metal recycling in Los Angeles, the metal waste present in the bin is recycled to make the materials ready for human usage. There are plenty of useful metal wastes, including aluminum (铝), copper (铜) and iron. They can be used for the production of household (家用的) things, ships, railways, cars and other things of important usage. (46)____________ By this means, people who recycle iron and copper make more money than recycling aluminum.
This is really becoming news with the metal waste providers as they can make money with this business. (47)___________The process is simple as changing the old waste into new and creative things. In this way, pollution is better controlled and people have learned to make money out of nothing.
(48)______ This increases the need of metal waste recycling in Los Angeles. Now the recycling industry is spoken highly of, and it is creating job chances for people. The metal waste recycling factories are serving to provide support for big manufacturing (制造业的) factories. (49)_______
A. They are recycling waste to make money. B. To save the natural resources, more and more people start to recycle metal in Los Angeles. C. We can make good use of waste things fully. D. It’s important for us to know how to recycle waste. E. Producing things out of new material is pretty expensive. F. The finished things being produced out of the rubbish are worthy of high praise. G. Metal recycling in several parts of Los Angeles is making a good result.
