She was told that her neighborhood used to be rich farmland planted with vegetables, corn and wheat. But looking at the new road, beautiful parks and supermarkets, to her surprise, Yang couldnt see any sign that food was once grown there.Yang is not alone. In recent years, many Chinese people have moved into new houses in country areas. Tall buildings have been built everywhere in the suburbs. The crops and fruit trees are no more grown there. But these changes have caused big problems too, warns Gan Zangchun, an official（官员）at the Ministry of Land and Resources(国土资源部）Chinese cities are growing very fast. This has made the area for farmland much smaller than before. This is really bad for the countrys ability to grow food, not to mention the lives of farmers, said Gan last Monday.As the population of China is growing all the time, the country needs more farmland to grow food for the increasing people of China. But the recent rise in house prices has made selling land a good business. A lot of land has been used to build new houses for sale. So you can see, the shortage of the farmland is now a very serious problem.Pollution, such as, oil pollution, industrial(工业) pollution and water pollution, which makes land useless, is another reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland. About 2.67 million square kilometers of land in China have been polluted and turned into desert.Today, can we use less farmland to grow enough food for more people? Of course not! The government wants China to have at least 120 million hectares（公顷） of farmland. Only in this way can we raise such a big population. But there are only about 121.8 million hectares left. It will be really difficult to reach the goal, Gan said. He said that the government would fight illegal(非法的) land use and something useful must be done to stop farmland from becoming desert.（1）The article seems to tell us that_.A . farmland is in dangerB . countryside is turned into townsC . farmland has been soldD . Chinese cities are growing fast（2）From what Gan Zangchun said, we know he is worrying about _.A . Chinas development is too slowB . the population of China is growing fastC . Chinese people have worse life than beforeD . the reduction(减少) and pollution of the farmland（3）What size of the land have been polluted and turned into desert?A . 120 million hectares.B . 121.8 million hectares.C . 2.67 million square kilometers.D . Millions of square kilometers.（4）Which statement of the following is NOT true?A . Yang Nans new home is in a northern area of BeijingB . The country needs enough farmland so that the farmers can grow enough food for the people of China.C . Chinese cities are growing too slowly so the government encourages people to change the farmland into towns.D . Pollution is also an important reason for the big drop in Chinas farmland.（5）What will the government do with the problem of the drop in Chinas farmland?A . Government needs farmland to grow food for the people of China.B . Government will order not to build new towns any more.C . Government will stop the growth of the cities in order to stop selling farmland for business.D . Government will fight illegal land use and stop farmland from becoming dessert24. （8分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。DWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees can communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation-their young trees?Suzanne Simard, forest ecologist at the University of British Columbia, explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Simard and her colleagues have made the major discovery that trees and plants really do communicate and interact with each other.Trees live on through their group work and support, passing around the resources such as nitrogen and carbon “depending on who needs it by miles of underground fungi（真菌） networks. This makes sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元） in our brains, and when one tree is cut down, it affects all.Simard talks about Mother Trees. These are the largest, oldest trees that rise above the forest, a concept explained in the movie Avatar. These “Mother Trees are connected to all the other trees in the forest by this network of fungi, and may manage the resources of the whole trees and plants in the forest. She explains how these trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important resources to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down Mother Trees without paying attention to these highly complex tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are losing the chances to save the whole forest.We didnt take any notice of it,” Simard says sadly. “Mother Trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could send this message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.（1）Trees can share resources with other ones by .A . the help from animalsB . underground fungi networksC . the communication with peopleD . neurons in the system of brains（2）Mother Trees are very important because they .A . bring wealth to the scientists B . pass on nutrition to young treesC . get more from the complex “tree societies” D . seem more likely to be cut down by humans（3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A . how trees grow oldB . how tree societies workC . how young trees are savedD . how forestry industry develops（4）What would be the best title for the passage?A . Trees Are Rich in ResourcesB . Trees Are Good for Our SocietyC . Trees Are in Need of ProtectionD . Trees Are More Complex Than We Think25. （8分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。ETu Youyou, an 84-year-old woman scientist, became the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in science on Oct. 5, 2015. While the news has made the Chinese people have national pride, it has also highlighted differences in prize-awarding practices between China and the world.Tu, a researcher at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, shared the 2015 Nobel Prize for Medicine with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan. Campbell and Omura were honored for their anti-roundworm treatment, while Tu came up with a new drug for Malaria（疟疾）.When news broke that Tu was being awarded the prize, there were cheers as well as doubts. Some said the achievement was the result of collective efforts by lots of Chinese scientists, so it is unfair to award the prize only to Tu, China Youth Daily reported. Indeed, Chinese science awards are mainly presented to projects, instead of individual scientists. But Western awards tend to honor individual scientists who are the first to come up with a new idea or method, said Li Zhenzhen, a researcher with the China Academy of Sciences. The West believes that the progress of science originates from individuals creative minds, said Li. Awarding prizes to scientists with creative ideas is the source of national innovation, Li suggested. The key is to create fair rules to find the most convincing candidate.（1）Which field did Tu win the Nobel Prize?A . Literature.B . Maths.C . Physics.D . Science.（2）How many people won the 2015 Noble Prize for Medicine?A . Only one.B . Two.C . Three.D . Four.（3）What can we infer from the passage?A . Tu was the first to come up with a new idea in her project team.B . All people said its fair to award the prize only to Tu.C . Chinese science awards are usually presented to individual scientists.D . Western awards usually honor projects.（4）You can probably read the passage in a(n) _.A . fashion magazineB . story bookC . science reportD . advertisement四、 词汇运用。 (共1题；共9分)26. （9分）A)根据句意及所给首字母提示，补全句中所缺单词。 （1）Imvery s that I cant go to your party （2）It is difficult to finish the workSo we need m_time （3）This book is really interesting and I want to r_it now （4）Mary is a very nice girl with long black h_ （5）My brother wants to l_English 五、 根据句意, 用所给词的适当形式填空。 (共15题；共41分)27. （1分）Good morning, Hello are very common _(greet).28. （1分）I think this is a wrong _ (decide), so dont plan to do it.29. （1分）_ (happiness) can make us become ill, so we should try our best to be happy.30. （10分）根据句意，用括号中所给词的适当形式填空，注意时态和语态。(1)Could you please _me with my English? （help）(2)Our Party had her _birthday a few days ago. （nine）(3)Which do you like _(good),carrots or tomatoes?(4)I want_ (buy) a book.(5)The old woman is walking _ (slow).(6)She said that she_(see) the film.(7)Wow ,the soup _ (taste) so nice(8)The boy should stop _ (wear) that silly earring.(9)Dont worry about the _ (child) heath.
