三、阅读理解
Can plants eat people Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is Venus Flytrap(捕蝇草).
Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly, so the fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly and slowly eats it.
Why do plants do that Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn't have all these important things, especially nitrogen (氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let's hope that bigger plants don't get the same idea!
26.Venus flytrap is a kind of______.
A.plant B.animal C.food D.meat
27.Venus flytrap grows in______.
A.most parts of the world
B.parts of Africa
C.dry parts of the United States

A.挤压 B.关上 C.打开 D.松开

—Because______.

D.plants want to protect themselves against animals
When studying a map of China, have you noticed the Mu Us Desert (毛乌素沙地) in the northwest If not, then you may never see it. That’s because the desert is disappearing.
You might wonder: Why is this happening Who is the “killer” In fact, it is the result of years of efforts of planting trees.
The Mu Us Desert used to be one of the largest deserts in China. Sandstorms were common in northern Shaanxi. As a result, lots of people had to leave their homes.
The fight against desertification (沙漠化) began in the 1970s. The work was more than tiring. He Li led (带领) a team to plant trees in Bulanghe, a town in Yulin, Shaanxi. However, a strong wind blew away all the young trees. It was no use crying. The next day, the team replanted all the trees.
In Yulin, there were many other sandstorm fighters. One of them was Guo Chengwang. In 1985, the government encouraged local people to plant trees. Then he started to plant trees in his village. Now Guo is over 100 years old. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are still working on this job. Up to now, the family has turned 30 km of desert into woods.
These trees have made a big difference. In Yulin, the number of sandy days has dropped from 100 in 2000 to 10 last year. With the sandstorm fighters’ continuing efforts, the Mu Us Desert will disappear. Our motherland is becoming greener and lovelier.
31.The Mu Us Desert is disappearing because of ________.
A.sandstorms B.strong winds C.desertification D.more trees planted
32.When did the fight against desertification start
A.In the 1960s. B.In the 1970s. C.In 1985. D.In 2000.
33.The writer takes Guo Chengwang as an example to show ________.

B.human can change deserts into forests
C.many people have joined in fighting against sandstorms
D.planting trees can make a person live longer
34.Which of the following is TRUE
A.The Mu Us Desert is the largest desert in China.
B.There used to be fewer sandstorms in northern Shaanxi.
C.He Li cried after the wind blew away all the young trees.
D.Efforts to fight against desertification have got good results.
35.The passage probably comes from a(n) ________.

Reusing and recycling may sound similar. But they are actually quite different from each other.
Recycling has become more and more popular around the world in the last 20 or 30 years, while people have reused materials throughout history. Nowadays, people are talking more about reusing as a better alternative (选择) to recycling.
So how is reusing different from recycling Well, reusing something means that the object is still used for its original (最初的) purpose. The goal of reuse is to help objects and materials lengthen (延长) their lives. If you have an old fan, for example, you can reuse it by giving it to someone else. Maybe that person can repair it or improve it, but he still uses it as a fan.
Recycling it, on the other hand, means the fan is taken apart. Its parts are used in different ways in new objects. When you give away clothes for other people to wear, that is reusing them. Cutting clothes up into rags (碎布) is recycling them.
More people are now paying more attention to reusing than recycling. They believe reusing should be our first step before we think about recycling. Reusing uses less energy than recycling. It also causes less environmental damage, because recycling often means that materials must be broken down or melted (熔解) in factories.
Clearly, both reusing and recycling will be important as we all try to reduce the waste. But perhaps recycling less should actually be our new goals—because it means we are all reusing more!

B.Her neighbor wants an old bike. Mrs. Jones will give it to her neighbor to use.
C.She will sell it to a bike factory. The factory will recycle it.
D.She will just throw it away as rubbish at a waste station.
37.Why does the writer take the examples of “a fan and clothes” in Paragraphs 3 and 4
A.To explain the difference between reusing and recycling.
B.To prove the disadvantages of recycling.
C.To give people two choices to deal with the waste.
D.To advise people to choose to reuse the waste.
38.What does the underlined word “damage” mean
A.环保 B.绿化 C.阻挠 D.破坏
39.What is the reading mostly about
A.The idea of reusing has been around longer in history than recycling.
B.Reusing is more helpful than recycling in saving the earth.

The increasing population is one of the most serious problems our world is facing now. New study shows that the world population will be 6,400,000,000 by 2050.
India will pass China as the world’s most populated country. China now has 1,300,000,000 people. The population should increase about ten percent by 2050. The United States will remain the third biggest nation whose population is close to 300,000,000 now. Because of immigration (移民) and low death rates among babies, its population will reach 420,000,000.
Between now and 2050, Niger will be the fastest growing country. The biggest decrease (减少) will be in Bulgaria. It is based on information from the United Nations.
And the study says most growth will take place in countries with young populations and traditionally large families. Nigeria and Japan will be different from each other. In Nigeria, almost half the people are under the age of fifteen. Few are over sixty-five. Nigerian women generally give birth about six times during their lives. Usually, a Japanese woman has one child. And today about twenty percent of Japanese are over the age of sixty-five.

Many students are optimistic about the next fifty years. In fact, they think the world will be a better place than it is now and our lives will be greatly improved. As a result, people will have a higher standard of living and live longer.
However other students are worried about the future. They say the world will become more crowded. Therefore, we will have even more environmental problems and live in a world with less energy available.
But in my opinion, we will find ways to solve our problems and everyone will live more happily.
