One day when she was giving an English lesson, she found Mr. Li, the headmaster, sitting at the back of the classroom. After class, Mr. Li told her that he came to her class to find out how much English and Chinese she was using in class. The result was about half English and half Chinese. She was using Chinese when she gave instructions and explained some grammar rules to her students. Mr. Li suggested that she should use English as much as she could in class. So Miss Wang made the following plans: Join an English club and practice speaking English. Learn more English teaching expressions by heart.

My childhood(童年)DSince the earliest times, trees have always been very useful and important to man who made use of them in many ways. Even today trees continue to serve man in so many ways.Trees provide (提供) man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats and even bridges. Furniture (家具) such as tables, chairs and beds are made of wood.In the tropics (热带地区) where it is very hot all through the year, trees protect man from the terrible heat. They are also useful in preventing good, rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains which are so common in the tropics.If there were no trees or vegetation (植被) of any kinds to hold back the soil with their roots, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface soil that is so important and necessary to agriculture. The result is that the land would become a desert.There are so many desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas must have been very rich fertile (丰产的) areas, but since our ancestors (祖先) in the distant past did not have enough knowledge about the science of nature, they cut down all the trees in the areas where they lived and never planted new ones. By and by, the rich surface soil was blown away and washed away by strong winds and heavy rains. In the end the land was turned into useless deserts where nothing could grow.() 46. If there were no tress, _.A. there would be no living things at all B. the rich top soil couldnt be hold back C. heavy rains would clean the tropics D. the land would become more fertile () 47. Some desert areas were once _.A. useless lands B. very cold C. lands with good solid D. covered with ice and snow() 48. “Top soil” means _.A. good soil on the surface B. dry soil in desert areas C. soil which is useless D. soil under the roots of trees() 49. _ caused deserts.A. Cutting down trees B. Never planting new trees C. Strong winds and heavy rains D. A, B and C() 50. Which is right?A. Trees are not useful as they used to be. B. Trees should be protected only in the tropics. C. Man can do nothing to keep the balance of nature. D. Man must do his best to protect trees against being cut down.七、综合填空（10分）阅读短文，根据短文及首字母提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。It was fine yesterday. Lin Tao and I were free. So we decided to a (56) s_ a film.
