just like my hometown, tropical regions only have two seasons, including the dry season that usually starts from april to september and the wet or rainy season which usually happens from october to march. but, it could be indeterminate. sometimes the rainy season can come a month earlier or later. it can be prolonged(延长) even more than 4 months and so can the dry season. even during the dry season, rain can occur several times in certain areas. the prolonged dry season in tropical areas usually causes a lot of losses. it will be very harmful to local farmers, because most of the tropical areas are regions of the developing countries. sometimes agricultural and plantation crops will be damaged because of so much dry land and the fact that the river used to flow the water for rice fields are also dry. rain is very important for plants because rain contains many nutrients that plants are in great need of. whats more, if the prolonged rainy season arrives and then floods usually occur in certain areas of low lands. even for the capital city of jakarta floods have struck several times during the prolonged rainy season. in addition to floods, the rainy season can cause many diseases. during the dry season, diseases are usually caused by mosquitoes such as dengue fever. while in the rainy season, people who have the weak immune will be more easily attacked by some diseases such as flu, fever, diarrhea, and much more. if you live in the other places and want to travel to the tropical regions, make sure that you have known much about the season and the effect for these months in which you want to travel as tourists. only in that way, can you at least prepare to deal with tropical weather. 36. how long does the dry season usually last in the authors hometown? a. four months. b. five months. c. six months. d. seven months. 37.the underlined word “indeterminate” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by “ _” auncertain bunknown cuntrue dunbelievable38.the second

that in the wet season, _athe capital of jakarta is flooded every yearbmore crops will die after being flooded for so long.cmosquitoes will spread more diseases among the crowd. dpeople with weak immune might be attacked by some diseases40.the main purpose of this passage is to introduce _.asome interesting facts of tropical regions bsome knowledge about tropical regions to travelers csome knowledge about how to live well in different regions.dsome differences between dry and wet seasons in tropical regions. b doha, the capital of qatar，is a city of contrasts(对照). in a few decades it has beentransformed from a small port to an international city. today, its skyline is shaped by rising skyscrapers, but old doha-though fast disappearing-can still be found. time seems to stand still in the old quarter of the city. on the dusty streets, indian and pakistani men sit cross-legged outside tea shops and restaurants. at one end of the road, men queue by the doorways of crowded supermarkets to buy necessities: boxes of teabags, milk, sugar, bread and soap. the shops are dark and poorly stocked. however, only five miles away, on the other side of the city, doha shows a completely different image. it shines brilliantly with skyscrapers, five-star hotels and noble apartment buildings. the area looks like any other modem district in the world. qatar, a tiny gulf(海湾)nation, is a country of vast local and international ambitions. at home, it has owned several international universities. abroad, it tries to speak louder on gulf affairs. these ambitions are urged by the countrys unbelievably rich reserves of fossil fuelsin december 2012, daba was the site of copl8 un climate change conference and in 2022，qatar will host the world cup. mohammed salim, 55, runs a hair salon in the old part of the city where he works as a hairdresserwhen he came to doha 22 years ago from pakistan，he recalls，doha was a quiet town with few modern buildings“at that time，doha seemed rather smallthere were no big roads or malls at all.” he has noticed a drop in customers to his salon in recent years“people now tend to go to more fashionable hair salons in shopping mallssome day this old area will be gone, and my business will probably be gone, tooill be sad. i love here, but things are changingwe cant ignore it.”41what makes doha become a city of contrasts according to the passage? athe citys old and modern districts bthe modern city and the tiny country cthe citys past and present conditionsdthe fashionable city and its poor citizens42what do we know about the shops in the old quarter of doha? athey dont have many goods or customers bthey provide a great variety of luxury goods cthey are bright big shops crowded with people dthey look poor and offer fewer choices of goods43qatar tries to speak louder on gulf affairs because_. a it has international cities such as doha bit is going to host the world cup in 2022 cit has made progress in building universities dit is known for its large reserves of natural gas44. the author takes the hair salon as an example to show that_. apeople in doha are fashionable bthe economy in doha becomes bad cchanges are happening to old doha ddoha used to be an undeveloped town45. which of the following is true according to the passage? aold doha is characterized by rising skyscrapers bdoha seemed small in the past as is recalled by salim cdoha will host copl8 un climate change conference in 2022 d. the western side of doha looks more modern than the eastern side. c when jeff sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with colored pencils, he often has to ask other people to tell him what color his masked men turned out to be because hes color-blind. now, a new smart phone application (app) can help him figure out what colors hes using and how the picture looks to most everyone else. the dankam app, available for iphone and android for $2.99, is an application that turns the vague colors that one percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the true colors as everyone else sees them. in america, an estimated 32 million color-blind americans-95% are males-can soon have their life improved.dankam takes the stream of data coming in through the phones camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall within the range that people who are color-blind see, developer dan kaminsky told cnet. he came up with the idea after watching the 2009 film star trek with a color-blind friend. it was then that he got to know more about colorblindness like its varying types and degrees. a vast majority, for instance, have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect(遗传缺陷). blue-yellow colorblindness, however, is rarer and develops later in life because of aging, illness or head injuries, etc. he started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in the rgb color model. what the dankam app attempts to do is to clean up the color space of the image or video signal so that colors can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems. “you can adjust the app to fit your needs. there is a range and not everyone who is color-blind sees things the same.” says kaminsky.sparkman, a copy editor at cnet, tried out the app and was pleased with the results. it would be useful for dressing for a job interview, he said. but using it for his art is “the most practical application. it worked well on led and other lights on electronic gadgets, which means sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display as green. 46. according to the first two paragraphs, we can know that dankam _. a. appeared in the movie star trek b. can turn vague colors into real ones c. is a phone used to help drawing pictures d. is designed to help people with colorblindness 47. how does dankams app work? a. it puts led and other lights on electronic gadgets. b. it changes the colors so that color-blind people can see them. c. it checks color-blind peoples types of degrees of colorblindness. d. it shows common representations of points in the rgb color model 48. it can be inferred from the passage that colorblindness _. a. cannot be cured by any methods b. is more commonly seen in women c. is not necessarily inborn disease d. makes people unable to tell any colors 49. the underlined word visible in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _. a. portable b. enjoyable c. adjustable d. recognizable 50. which of the following is not included in the things that dankam helps sparkman with? a. choosing clothes. b. drawing his pictures. c. playing computer games d. handling electronic gadgets. d in one of the old buildings near our school，one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floorhis name was
