III. 阅读理解
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A desert is a beautiful land of silence and space. The sun shines, the wind blows, and time and space seem endless. Nothing is soft. The sand and rocks are hard, and many of the plants even have hard needles instead of leaves.
The size and location(分布) of the world’s deserts are always changi ng. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 yeas, deserts have been growing at a frightening speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but the greatest makers are humans.
Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Algeria Mauritania is planting a similar wall around Nouakchott, the capital. Iran puts a thin covering of petroleum (石油) on sandy areas and plants trees. The oil keeps the water and small trees in the land, and men on motorcycles(摩托车) keep the sheep and goats away. The USSR and India are building long canals to bring water to desert areas.
46.In this passage, “needles” refers to _______.
A. small, thin pieces of steel.
B. long, thin pieces of branches.
C. small pointed growth on the stem(茎) of a plant.
D. small, thin pieces of sticks.
47. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The greatest desert makers are humans.
B.There aren’t any living things in the deserts.
C. Deserts have been growing quickly.
D. The size of the deserts is always changing.
48. People in some countries are fighting a battle against _______.
A. the growth of deserts
B. the disappearance of desert plants
C. natural changes
D. congenital climate
49. We can guess that Mauritania and Algeria belong to _______.
A. Asian countries
B. American countries
C. European counties
D. African countries
50. Choose the sentence which best gives the main idea of the passage.
A. The deserts of the world are always changing.
B. Man is to take measures to control the growth of the world’s deserts.
C. Deserts are lands of silence and space.
D. Deserts have grown at a fast pace in the past 10 years.
B
What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”
51. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while
“dull” in the second paragraph means ________.
A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding
B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
C. great and important; common
D. hopeful and helpful; careless
52. According to the context we can guess that a genius is ________ while an idiot is ________.
A. a normal person; a funny person
B. a strong person; a weak person
C. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person
D. a famous person; an ordinary person
53. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.
A. whose parents are clever
B. often thinking about difficult problems
C. often helped by his parents and teachers
D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use
54. It is better for parents ________.
A. to praise and encourage their children more often
B. to be hard on their children
C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D. to give their children as much help as possible
55. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.
B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.

There are also many addicts(成瘾者)who take the game seriously. 59________. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.
Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. 60________. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice(恶习), under the name of social progress.

A. But that little chance ce rtainly didn’t affect ticket sales
B. That was the second largest lottery jackpot(积累奖金)in history

IV 短文改错:
At a party, it is quite normal of someone to have a short conversation with you and then go on to talking to other people! Don’t think they dislike you or they are impolite.

书面表达：
Making Every Day Earth Day
Now the earth is in bad condition. For example, in some places, the air and water pollution is so serious that it causes many deaths. At the same time, many animals and plants are in danger because of the destruction of their habitats.
Luckily, we human beings have realized the problem. On April 22nd, millions of people all over the world do something good for the earth. Some people have good daily habits which are friendly to the earth. Some clean up beaches and water, some pick up rubbish, others give
speeches to call on more people to take action. But can we save the earth only by one day's work? The future of our planet depends on our efforts. What we should do is to make every day Earth Day. Only by taking good care of it every day can we hope to live in harmony with nature.
