if we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. in a lot of places the new farm land will soon look like the old deserts, for example, crops will not grow there, whats worse, it will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. perhaps the climate of the world will change, which will be dangerous for everyone in the world. that is why we must take care of our forests.29.which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “deserts” in this passage? a. farmland. b. sands.c. green fields. d. villages.30. the passage mainly tells us about _. a. the importance of taking care of our plants b. why a lot of animals disappear c. where the forests are d. the reasons for forming the deserts31. which of the following is true according to the passage?

change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. however, there is still some advice for you to follow.first, look at why you do it. in other words, whats the result of doing this thing? if your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? it may make you feel a little better for the moment. or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. the result could be that you get more time to spend on the internet!next, take a look on the other hand. what are you losing because of your habit? shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. having more internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. when you think that way, youll find that its not wise to keep your bad habit! now it is time to make a decision. what will you choose? im sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.32. from the first paragraph we know that _.a. a habit is a terrible thing that we can never changeb. people take countless hours and dollars to get rid of habitsc. none of the people who try to break bad habits are successfuld. though it is difficult, we can still do something about our bad habits33. the underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that _.a. it is not easy to get rid of bad habits b. there is a long way and a short wayc. something dangerous may happen d. we must cut it in a short time 34. according to the reading, if you want to get rid of your habits, you have to _.a. talk to others when you are in low spiritsb. know why you do what you do c. finish your homework first d. spend less time on the internet35. which of the following does not happen because of a bad habit according to the reading?a. you are punished later. b. making people around you feel unhappy.c. you feel a little better after shouting at others. d. you leave your homework at home by accident.36. the main purpose of this passage is to _.a. introduce and describe b. complain and disagree c. explain and advise d. discuss and argue (争论)you are probably familiar with the saying：an apple a day keeps the doctor away. a recent research carried out by the chinese university of hong kong may change the saying:an apple a day may keep aging away.the research chose fruit flies(果蝇), as they share many genes(基因)with humans. the fruit flies were either fed normally or had an apple extract(浓缩物) added to their diet.it turned out that those fruit flies that were given apple extract lived about 55 daysfive days longer than the flies that were normally fed. the research group also found it easier for the flies to walk，climb and move about as they aged.according to the result, the researchers believed that the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in the apple extract helped clean up dangerous chemicals(化学物质) that cause illnesses，as well as aging.in another study，researchers examined diets of thousands of women. they discovered that those who regularly ate apples were 20 percent less likely to suffer heart illnesses and stroke.the apples genetic code(遗传密码) was discovered recently. it allows scientists to develop nicer and healthier fruits. researchers are already using the information to grow a kind of apples full of antioxidants that can keep eyes and joints healthy and protect humans against heart illnesses and cancer.apples that kill the desire(欲望) to eat could also be produced, with the first“extra-healthyapples on supermarket shelves within just four or five years.the team that keeps studying apple dna includes 100 scientists from five countries. their research also suggests that around 65 million years ago, when dinosaurs began to die off the plant，which would finally become todays apple tree, experienced a great genetic change. the number of many of its genes doubled. the extra genes allowed the apple to get used to worse conditions and go through a different development from peaches，strawberries and other related fruits.34why were fruit flies used for the research?a. because they have a similar diet to humans.b. because they have a history as long as apples.c. because they share a lot of genes with humans.d. because they feed on nothing but apple extract.35what result did the researchers find out?a. apples produce chemicals that can change human genes.b. apples have antioxidants that kill chemicals that cause aging.c. apples are rich in vitamins that are needed in humans bodies.d. apples produce chemicals that make apples taste more delicious.36what happened to apples around 65 million years ago according to the research?a. their genes stopped their development as the environment got worse.b. their genes became twice in number but they finally died off like dinosaurs.c. they experienced a great genetic change making them get used to worse conditions.d. they went through a similar development to peaches, strawberries and other related fruits.37what can we infer(推断)from the passage?a. eating apples may bring us more advantages than we might believe before.b. people who have the habit of eating apples dont need to see a doctor.c. apples that kill the desire to eat are already available in supermarkets now.d. people will eat apples instead of peaches and strawberries from now on.d hello-its one of the first words we learn as babies, yet its one of the last ones we think to use as adults. thats regrettable(令人遗憾的) , because saying hello is more than just saying hello-it is the respect of anothers worth. how might the world change-how might we change-if we used this word well? to find out, l spent one month saying hello to every person i met. heres what ive learned. it can improve productivity. in one of the few studies ever done on this subject, allan allday, an assistant professor(副教授)of special education at oklahoma state university, had middle school teachers greet their students individually (单独地) each morning. this exchange of greetings raised the kids productivity. school went from impersonal to personal (富有人情味的) , and that led to more class participation(参与) and better grades. environments influence friendliness, one study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. and researchers say, pleasure environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones. my experience was similar. whatever the reason, my hellos were answered far less often than the ones in the countryside. similarly, people in vacation areas, like the jersey shore, were far friendlier than those hurrying to work in the centre of the city. its a form of health insurance(保险). its impossible to say hello without smiling. and smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure(血压) , make people feel happier and improve happiness. it seems that saying hello creates a similar influence. so maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello. after a month of doing it. i feel lighter and more connected and i have a better sense of well-being.37 what can we know from the first paragraph? a. people can say hello since they are born. b. saying hello is a way to show respect to others. c. people lose the ability to say hello when they grow up. d. saying hello is a way to change the world completely.38. which of the following is true according to the second paragraph? a. students will get good grades by saying hello very often. b. an assistant professor likes greeting his students every morning. c. the teacher who often says hello to students is very popular at school. d. kids will be more active in class by exchanging greetings with teachers.39. from the passage, we learn that_. a. smiles can take the place of hellos b. people living in the city refuse to say hello c. environments play a role in creating friendliness d. having health insurance is more important than saying hello40. the underlined word well-being in the last paragraph means_. a. health and happinessb. comfort and quietness c. pride and confidenced. peace and hopefulness 第二卷 （主观题 共45分）五、单词拼写（本大题共10分，每小题1分）(a) 根据句意和汉语注释, 在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。1 .mr. kith often helps me with my lessons when im _（缺席的) from school. 2. 2. 2.chinese parents usually _（期待）too much of their children.3.as a teacher, she must work to high
