simply because they were in the way. thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. hundreds more are on the danger list today. about 170 kinds in the united states alone are considered in danger.why should people care? because we need animals. and because once they are gone, there will never be any more.animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. every animal has its place in the balance of nature. destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.for example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. why? because hawks eat rats and mice. with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied(繁殖) quickly.luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. and they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.quite a few countries have passed laws. these laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.46. why do people kill animals? a. they kill animals for something they need. b. they kill animals to raise some money. c. animals destroy their natural resources. d. animals create many problems.47. animals are important to us mainly because _. a. they give us a source of food b. they are beautiful and lovely c. they keep the balance of nature d. they give us a lot of pleasure48. which of the following is not true? a. people care much about animals because they need them. b. once a certain kind of animal is gone forever, there will never be any more. c. killing all rats and mice may cause some new problems. d. people must not kill any animal or plant. ba rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely falling below 16. rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.in the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources : land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. this action affects the environment as a whole. for example，a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rainforests. people obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit. there are two main reasons for this. firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world s wood supply.rainforests are often called the worlds drug store. more than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. however, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. it is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the worlds shrinking rainforests.49. rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they_. a. reflect more heat into the atmosphere b. bring about high rainfall throughout the world c. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16 d. absorb the heat from the sun, reducing the effect of heat from the sun on the earth50. what does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to? a. we will lose much more than we can gain. b. humans have begun destroying rainforests. c. people have a strong desire for resources. d. much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.51. it can be inferred from the text that_. a. we can get enough resources without rainforests b. there is great medicine potential in rainforests c. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land d. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns52. what might be the best title for the text? a. how to save rainforests? b. how to protect nature? c. rainforests and the environment. d. rainforests and medical development.cfrank woolworth was born in rodman, new york., in 1852. his family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. frank decided he did not want to be farmer. he took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. one day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. people fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.soon afterwards, woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. but he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. that is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. once, for example, woolworth went to germany and placed an order for knives. the order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. in this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.by 1919, woolworth had over 1000 stores in the us and canada, and opened his first store in london. he made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. he always ran his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ the customer is always right.”53. frank took a short business course in order to _. a. earn more money for his family b. learn something from a salesman c. get away from the farm d. get enough to eat.54. the price of the knives was cut down by half because _. a. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day. b. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory. c. the knives were made in germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap. d. the knives were produced in one factory.55. _ make woolworth a world-famous man. a. his business skills and his wealth. b. the low price of the goods he sold. c. his trip to germany and his huge order of knives. d. his natural skill for showing things.56. the belief that : “ the customer is always right” suggests that _. a. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop assistant, the customers are always right. b. if you want to succeed, the rule is the only way. c. stores must always follow the customers orders if they want to make more money. d. stores should do their best to meet the customers needs if they want to be successful.dthere are many ways to find a job. it can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.another popular tool for finding jobs is the internet. for example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the craigslist web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. for example, students at the university of texas in austin can go to the career exploration center to get help in finding a job. of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. for example, there is a book called “what color is your parachute (降落伞)?” by richard bolles. this book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.some experts also help people find jobs. susan w. miller owns a company called

（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。( e涂ab， f涂ac)61. to be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear.62. watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit unmoved before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, his hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feeling. listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note if his voice always changes according to what he is talking about.63. the fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesnt mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teachers work and the actors. the actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, and even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. what he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.64. a good teacher works in quite a different way. his audience takes an active part in his play: they ask questions, they obey orders, and if they dont understand so
