Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter(粪)from animals also falls on it.All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers(化肥)are also very useful. The same crop(庄稼)should not be grown in the same place every year, its better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.31. Which of the following is true?A. All our food comes from the soil. B. Most of our food comes from soil.C. None of our food comes from the soil. D. All our food comes from animals.32.

What does the writer tell us in the first paragraph(段落)?A. Leaves, plants, grass and waste live on each other.B. There would be no animals without meat. C. There would be no plants without animals.D. People, animals, plants and soil live on each other34. Which is the best food for soil in the field?A. Chemical fertilizers. B. Plants and grass.C. Animals waste. D. Different crops.35.

Because we do this as a habit(习惯). BEvery afternoon, hundreds of thousands of young people go to Internet cafes (网吧) to play computer games. They play Counter Strikes, Diablo, and others. These games can be fun and exciting, but it is bad when this pastime becomes an addiction (瘾). Computer games are often exciting and great, but students dont learn as much from them as they would by simply reading a book. Spending too much time playing them can take away students study time. If young people spend too much time playing them, they will have little time to study. Besides, computer games can also be bad for young children, because many computer games are violent (暴力的) and the goals in most of them are to kill the other player(s). This does not send the right message to the children who need to be told that violence is not good. Young people may do the same in real life as they do in computer games. Of course, playing a computer games in spare time is not a bad thing. Games can be a great way to rest after studying. However, they should not become the focus of our life.36.From the message we know that young people_. A. dont like computer games at allB. like computer games bestC. like computer games very much D. are good at computer games37.The writer doesnt think _.A. students can learn as much from computer games as by reading booksB. computer games are excitingC. students can learn more by reading books than playing computer gamesD. games are necessary38.What does the word “focus” mean here?A. wayB. center C. direction D. wish39.Which of the following is NOT true?A.

Dangerous to play computer gamesC. How to play computer games D. Be away from computer gamesC Some people have very good memories，and can easily learn quite a long poem by heart.There are other people who can only remember things when they have said them again and again.The famous English writer，Charles Dickens，said that he could walk down any streets in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed.Many of the great men of the world have had wonderful memories.A good memory is of great help in learning a language.Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he learns when he is a small child.Some children like boys and girls dont live in their own country，and they seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one.In school，it is not so easy learn a foreign language because students have so little time for it and they are busy with other lessons，too.A mans mind is rather like a camera，but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we feel，hear，smell and taste.When we take a real photo with a camera，there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends.In the same way，there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture for ever in our minds.Memory is the diary we all carry about with us.41.Some people are good at _.A.learning long poem B.remembering thingsC.taking photos D.keeping a diary42.Other people can only remember things by _.A.saying again and again B.hearing，smelling and tastingC.learning a foreign language D.keeping a picture43.Charles Dickens _.A.didnt live in his own country B.had a very poor memoryC.spoke two foreign languages as easily as English D.had a very good memory44.A good memory helps you_.A.keep a picture for ever B.tell others the name of every shop in LondonC.learn a language D.hear，smell and taste45.Remembering things is rather like _.A.learning poems B.taking photos C.learning English D.feeling thingsDLong, long ago the Mouse King had a beautiful daughter.
