These great forests are the oceans of trees. They are full of thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.However, the world 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 forests.55.The passage mainly tells us about _.A. the importance of taking care of our plantsB. the result of cutting down the treesC. the locations (位置) of great forestsD. the reasons for forming the deserts56.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

She felt too tired. She put down her book, yawned （打哈欠）and felt better. Betty looked up. Had the teacher seen her? To her surprise, the teacher was yawning, too. He took a long breath and opened his mouth wide. He closed his eyes a bit and let out his breath in a big, slow yawn. Then Betty heard other yawns.The teacher said, Betty yawned because our doors and windows are closed. And the room is warm. Her body needed more air. Maybe she yawned because she was tired. Or she just needed to move a bit. Do you feel better now, Betty? be asked.Yes, said Betty.Yawns wake us up, the teacher said, When you yawn ，you stretch （伸展） many parts of your body. That stretching makes you feel good. There were more yawns. People do not know why they yawn, the teacher said, But if you see a yawn, hear one, or even read about one, you may yawn too. And once your yawn starts, you cant stop it. You may close your mouth to stop it. But the yawn will still come.The teacher stood up and said. Lets open the window and let some air in. You may also go out for a drink. A cold drink or water on your face helps to stop yawns. Betty may go first.How do you feel now after you have read this story? Did you yawn? Watch a friend read this. See if your friend starts to yawn. If you see a yawn, you will know why!59. Betty yawned becauseA. the teacher yawned B. she put down her bookC. she felt tired D. she felt hungry60.

It was taken down to make room for a new stadium. The blast(爆破) from the falling building caused the earth to shake as if an earthquake had happened.Scientists placed more than 200 earthquake recorders in the earth to measure the movement. They found which parts of the city shook the most. This information helped them know which parts of the city would be damaged in a real earthquake at an early time.A real earthquake happened on February 28, 2001 in Seattle. The Nisqually earthquake was 6.8 on the Richter scale(里氏6.8级). It damaged the same parts of Seattle that scientists had predicted(预测) from the pulling down of the Kingdome. It was a plate quake. It started deep in the earth, 37 miles below the surface on the Juan de Fuca Plate. Sometimes, huge plates under the earth cause earthquakes when the plates move against each other suddenly.Scientists have learned that deep earthquakes have very few aftershocks(余震). The Nisqually earthquake had only 4 ones. Another earthquake in California that was close to the surface had over 120 aftershocks. Scientists do not know why the deep earthquakes have fewer aftershocks.Scientists plan to blast in the ground near Seattle with the purpose of testing the plate. The shockwaves from the blast will jump off the plate and give them an idea of where the plate is and how it is moving. This will give them more information in case another real earthquake hits the area.63. According to the passage, _ have the most aftershocks. A. shockwave earthquakes B. shallow(弱的) earthquakes C. deep earthquakes D. earthquakes more than 6.8 Richter scale64. What do scientists hope to learn from the blast above the Juan de Fuca Plate? A. They hope to learn where the pl
