They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time. Why is more and more land becoming desert？Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth. Some places on the earth dont get much rain. But they still dont become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants dont let the sun make the earth even drier. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. When a bit of rain falls，the plants hold the water. Without plants，the land can become desert more easily. 56. Deserts _ . A. never have any plants or animals in themB. can all be turned into good land before longC. are becoming smaller and smallerD. get very little rain57. Smallgreenplantsareveryimportanttodryplaces because _.A. they dont let the sun make the earth even drierB. they dont let the wind blow the soil awayC. they hold waterD. All of the above. 58. Landisbecomingdesertlittlebylittlebecause _. A. plants cant grow thereB. there is not enough rainC. people havent done what scientists wish them to doD. scientists know little about the deserts BThere are two rare species of crocodile in Australia the saltwater crocodiles and the freshwater ones.Saltwater crocodiles are among the worlds largest crocodiles, with males often reaching five meters. But some can reach six to eight meters. Females grow up to 2.5 meters long.Saltwater crocodiles live in rivers, and coastal waters in northern Australia and eat a wide variety of prey (猎物). The young ones stick to insects, small reptiles and fish. But adults hunt for bigger prey like snakes, monkeys and cattle. And they have been known to attack humans. Freshwater crocodiles, however, arent usually dangerous to people. They live in freshwater streams, rivers and large water holes in northern Australia. Freshwater crocodiles arent as big as saltwater ones either, reaching a length of three metres at most. Crocodiles first appeared 200 million years ago and lived originally on land. But they soon evolved into aquatic (水生的) animals.These reptiles are excellent predators (肉食动物) and have few natural enemies. Crocodiles have about 30 or 40 teeth in each jaw. And it is the jaw that gives a unique feature to them.A crocodile can close its jaws with such force that it can break the bones of some animals. Yet, once the jaws are shut, theyre so weak that they can be held together by a persons hand. To reproduce, crocodiles, like other reptiles, lay eggs. One female can produce between 20 and 90 eggs at a time. Once laid, female crocodiles bury their eggs in sand or mud, where they are left to hatch. Some females stay in the area to protect the nest and look after the young after they hatch, but often other predators eat the eggs. 59. The largest crocodiles in Australia can reach a length of _.A. three metersB. five meters C. eight metersD. ten meters60. What do saltwater crocodiles and freshwater crocodiles have in common?A. They have the same size.B. They both live in freshwater streams.C. They are usually both dangerous to people.D. They both live in northern Australia.61. We can infer from Paragraph 7 that _.A. crocodiles close their jaws very quickly B. crocodiles jaws are easy to control when they are openC. crocodiles are not dangerous to people when their jaws are closedD. crocodiles jaws are very powerful when closing 62. What usually happens after crocodile eggs are laid?A. The eggs will be kept under the ground. B. The eggs will be hatched by their parents. C. The male crocodiles will protect the eggs.D. The female crocodiles will leave the nest. C Rock and roll music developed in the United States in the early nineteen-fifties. It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians. Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles. Some people say the Beatles music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry. But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group before them. The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.” It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”. The musical instrument most linked to rock and roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in rock and roll during the late 1960s. His “Purple Haze” was liked by many people. By the 1970s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. It expanded into many new forms. For example, there was country rock, hard rock, acid rock, and heavy metal rock. Punk rock, jazz rock, and glitter rock. In the middle 1970s, experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteens music was like the lively rock and roll music of the early nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam. 63. The main topic of this passage is _.A. the history of American music B. the development of rock and roll musicC. the famous rock and roll groups D. the new forms of rock and roll music64. Which of the following matches is NOT true?A. the Beatles Chuck Berry B. the Rolling Stones SatisfactionC. Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze D. Bruce Springsteen Born to Run65. From the passage, we can know that _.A. one of the Rolling Stones albums was called “concept” B. the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became popular at the same timeC. rock and roll music had many different forms at the beginningD. rock and roll music probably came from African American music 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The typical consumer hits the supermarket at least twice a week, mostly to buy food. Then how can we do it wisely? 66 .Buy fresh food There is no simpler and no easier measure of identifying (确认) the healthiness of your food than finding out whether it comes in boxes and cans or is fresh from the farm. If more than half of your groceries are prepared foods, then you need to change your cooking and eating habits back to the healthy side. 67 .Shop with a list 68 This will have you leave the supermarket at the speed of light. If youre a woman, consider getting your husband or son to do the food shopping. The latest survey from the Food Marketing Institute shows that compared to women, men are more likely to buy only whats on the grocery list. But shopping with a list has benefits beyond speed. By concentrating on a well-planned shopping list, you can avoid (避免) being persuaded to buy what is not needed and you can save yourself from overspending.Shop with a full stomach Were sure youve heard this one before, but its worth repeating. Walk through the supermarket with a full stomach. 69 If you cant arrange to shop shortly after a meal, be sure to eat an apple and drink a large glass of water before heading into the store.Buy in season Sure, its tempting to buy strawberries in December, and once in a while thats fine. But fresh fruit and vegetables are best when purchased (购买) in season. 70 .A. So you should pick up more fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood and juices.B. It can make you avoid buying too much food, which may be more than what you really need.C. Write a shopping list before you leave home.D. More and more people realize the benefit of eating fresh food.E. Eating apples can make people healthier than before.F.
