Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover，these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns，potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years，humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources（资源）：land for crops，wood for paper and other products，land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly，when people cut down trees，generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly，cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now，but in the long run it actually reduces the worlds wood supply.Rainforests are often called the worlds drug store. More than 25 of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However，fewer than l of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the worlds shrinking（萎缩）rainforests.46. Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they .A. reflect more heat into the atmosphereB. bring about high rainfall throughout the worldC. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6D. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth47. What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A. We will lose much more than we can gain.B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.C. People have a strong desire for resources.D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.48. It can be inferred from the text that .A. we can get enough resources without rainforestsB. there is great medicine potential in rainforestsC. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landD. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns49. What might be the best title for the text?A. How to Save RainforestsB. How to Protect NatureC. Rainforests and the EnvironmentD. Rainforests and Medical DevelopmentBIts not easy being a teenager nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you youll still be there for him when he needs you. Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, dont insist he tell you whats on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that hell clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that youre always there for him if he seeks advice or help. Show respect for your teenagers privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the familys telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.50. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents .A. how to get along with a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to understand a teenagerD. how to help a teenager grow up51. What does the phrase clam up in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. become excited B. show respect C. refuse to talk D. seek help52.The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenagerA. to use the phone in a sensible wayB. to pay for his own telephoneC. to share the phone quicklyD. to answer the phone quickly53. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugsB. Give him advice only when necessaryC. Let him have his own telephoneD. Not talk about personal things with himCA few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects（建筑师）in Las vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning . ”I think half of them fell off their chairs,” Gerner says.Gerner manages school facilities（设施）for Clark county, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2020, 143, 000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes （样品） ; They plan to construct their schools starting in 2020. The district will then assess (评估) how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings.Green schools are appearing all over , but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. ”One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation（朝向）， ” Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.”Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of the most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly (生态的) buildings. “I dont believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. Im interested in those that work. ”But he wouldnt mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. ”You never know whats going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,”he says.54.How did the architects react to Garners design requirements?A. They lost balance in excitement.B. they showed strong disbelief.C. they expressed little interest.D. they burst into cheers.55.Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project?A. AssessmentPrototypeDesignConstruction.B. AssessmentDesignPrototypeConstruction.C. DesignAssessmentPrototypeConstruction.D. DesignPrototypeAssessmentConstruction.56.What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County?A. The large size.B. Limited facilities. C. The desert climate. D. Poor natural resources.57.What does Gerner think of the ideas of green schools?A. They are questionable. B. They are out of date.C. They are advanced. D. They are practical.DThe surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it presses down upon you. Air pressure is a wonderful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water push down your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earths surface. The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised (监督), because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment！ What you need A hard-boiled egg without the shell A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg A piece of paper A match Metheod 1） Check that the paper will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle. 2） Tear the paper into strips (条) and put the strips into the bottle. 3） Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle. 4） Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen （air） in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal (封条)in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air pressure against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! The proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on it.58. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment? A. The bottle could break. B. You need to light the paper with a match. C. The egg needs to be shelled. D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.59. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can_. A. equalize the air pressure inside and outside B. make a seal in the neck of the bottle C. finish up the oxygen inside the bottle D. produce more oxygen inside the bottle60. How did the egg put into the bottle？ A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in. B. It became salt without the shell. C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough. D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。A. Smiling builds up confidence.B. Smiling changes mood.C.
