18、You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1 Think of the world as a giant ball with a belt around its middle. This middle part of the world is the equator. Forests that cover much of the land there are thick and green. Heavy rains that often soak the earth

19、 make the trees grow quickly and tall. This huge umbrella of trees protects the floor of the rain forest from the blazing hot sun. It is difficult to live in the rain forest with its constant heat, thick growth of trees, and rain. In the rain-forestvillages, people live in straw-roofed houses with o

20、pen sides that are perfect for this climate. Heat and rain are kept out while fresh air flows in and out. Most people living in a rain forest are farmers who move from one part of the forest to another to grow their crops. The people farm the same piece of land until the land is no longer useful. Th

21、en they must move. The people also must move when the rains wash away good soil. Travel in the rain forest is usually by water.

25、 to help yourself. There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor when they were young, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend upon them for education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their

26、 strength to know something.They worked their own way till they became well known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourselves. Some young men do not try their best to make themselves valuable to society.

You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the rea

32、son, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive design is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather uninteresting book. You soon become lost in some book or other, and usu

33、ally it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must hurry to keep some forgotten appointment - without buying a book, of course.The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop.
