However, the worlds forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear? If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world. That is why we must take care of our forests. (1)、The passage mainly tells us about the importance of taking care of plants. A：T B：F答案： A(2)、Forests are homes for different kinds of animals. A：T B：F答案： A(3)、The need for more wood and more land help to protect our forests. A：T B：F答案： B(4)、Well have more and greater forestsn in 20 or 30 years in some peoples view. A：T B：F答案： B(5)、The writer thinks it necessary to protect the forests. A：T B：F答案： A2、 In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. 在美国通常不会在清晨给人家打电话。 If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes its a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (1)、What is the main idea of this passage? _ A：It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S. B：The role of time in social life over the world. C：If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S. D：Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.答案： B(2)、What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? _ A：A matter of work.
