vegetables, but a world without chocolate? now that would be hard! according to chocolate makers it could happen if we dont act soon. there are two main causes of the chocolate shortage - chocolates growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. with more and more people in india and china loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause. therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. however, new plant diseases and little rain in ivory coast and ghana, the worlds largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. whats worse, many cocoa farmers in africa and other cocoa-producing countries like indonesia and venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. this way, the farmers can make more money. to prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened international cocoa control centre, in the uk, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. but first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. this takes a long time. first, each new plant is stored at the control centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. it is then planted in the centres fields, studied and tested for another two years. only after scientists are certain that theyre disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in west africa or wherever else they are needed. to create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!6. the first paragraph tells us that_. a. chocolate is healthier than vegetables b. the world could soon be without chocolatec. people love vegetables more than chocolate d. its not necessary to eat so much chocolate 7. in which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years? a. venezuela and indonesia. b. ivory coast and ghana. c. indonesia and china. d. china and india. 8. cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber and corn because these crops_. a. can make them more money b. need less rain to grow c. can be planted more times each year d. are not damaged by plant diseases 9. how long does it take scientists at the centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow? a. 6 months. b. 12 months. c. 24 months. d. 30 months. 10. what is one of the purposes of the cocoa control centre? a. to introduce cocoa production to more countries. b. to provide more chocolate for british people. c. to produce stronger types of cocoa plants. d. to make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat. 【答案】6.b7. d8. a9. d10. c【解析】试题分析：短文讲述的是：巧克力受欢迎，但可可的产量在下降，因此巧克力变得越来越短缺，很多种植可可的农民都转向种植其他更赚钱的植物。现在英国的研究人员正在努力创造新的可可树。6. b

“disabled”. but together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in north chinas hebei province into a rich, green forest. meet 53-year-old jia haixia and jia wenqi! their story began in 2000, when haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. they rented some poor land and began to plant trees. in return, the local officials paid them a small fee. haixia and wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. in addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. when the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless haixia carries wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. haixia climbs to the tree-top and with wenqis direction, selects the perfect branch. he then digs a hole and carefully plants it. finally wenqi waters the area. though hard-working, the men dont make much money. but as wenqi puts it, “we stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.” neither haixia nor wenqi cares about money. together, they already have everything they need - a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world! 1. why did haixia and wenqi start working together? a. haixia needed someone to help him. b. they both needed a way to make money. c. they wanted to improve the environment. d. they were required to do so by local offcials.2. haixia and wenqis forest has helped the village by_ . a. stopping floods in the rainy season b. increasing the number of tourists c. making the villagers richer d. providing more farmland 3. why do haixia and wenqi plant tree branches? a. they are easy to get. b. they do not cost money. c. they can grow very quickly. d. they are preferred by animals. 4. in paragraph 5, when wenqi says “we stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means that “_”. a. they hope to make the forest even better b. the fruits from their trees are very sweet c. they are proud not to depend on others d. they are able to do any difficult work 5. what can we learn from this story? a. never give up and you will succeed. b. we should help the disabled to work. c. try your best when facing difficulties. d. we can achieve more with teamwork. 【答案】1. b2. a3. b4. c5. d【解析】试题分析：短文讲述两个残疾人一起合作，通过努力改变了他们的村庄，他们一起植树，他们的森林防止了村庄被洪水淹没，森林住着很多鸟类和野生动物。故事告诉我们通过团队合作我们可以创造更多的成果。1. b 细节推理题。题目问的是haixia和wenqi开始一起工作的原因，这要原文定位到第二段。 the story began这句话就提醒我们他们是一个powerful team的缘由。首先介绍他们身体的残缺，关键句：neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up.这句话的so是关键字，表示前面不能找到工作是原因，结果是后面的他们组成了一个团队。从而从不能找到工作而组队这个细节推理出出题的答案b they both needed a way to make money，故本题选b。2. a 细节理解题。题目问的是他们帮助村庄的方式， b选项-文中没有提及。c选项-细节错误，他们帮助村民创建的是一个environmental paradise，专注于环境的改善，并非经济上的实际收益。d选项-信息错误，文中第二段仅仅提及他们租用地块，并非提供给其他村民farmland. a选项正确，他们帮助村民阻止雨季中的洪灾，故选a。3. b 细节理解题。题目问的是为什么他们种植树枝。关键字定位tree branches. 原文定位在第二段，关键字since，原因状语从句，表明他们使用树枝的原因是they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant. 故选b.使用树枝的原因是不需要花钱。4. c推理判断题。短文倒数第二段，他们觉得果实更加甜的原因是we stand on our own feet，意思是自己能够独立，与c项符合，故选c。5. d 主旨大意题。主旨题通常从首尾段看出，尤其最后段的感叹句强调了作者的情感，两个关键点：1）together 2）the best friendship表明是他们的团队精神让他们能够创造出更多的成果。【难度】一般（五） spring restaurant telephone: 3324545address: east roadopen: mon. to fri. 7:30 am2:30 pm and 5:00 pm9:00 pm sat. 7:30am2:00pm and 5:00 pm-9:30 pm sun. 11:00
