At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents (文件) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.

    It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down,” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.

    Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer.  As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.

    Does all this mean environmental concerns (环境问题) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. “I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling (回收利用) ,” said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.

1The growing demand for paper in recent years is Largely due to ________.

    A. the rapid development of small businesses

    B. the opening up of new markets

    C. the printing of high quality copies

    D. the increased use of the Internet

1.  Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ________.

A: to encourage printing more quality documents

    B. to develop new printers using recycled paper

    C. to find new materials for making paper

    D. to plant more fast growing trees

3Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because ________.

    A. people are concerned about the environment

    B. printers in many offices are working overtime

    C. small companies need more hard copies

    D. they see a growing market for printers

4What would be the best title for the text?

    A. Computers and Printers

    B. E-mail and the Business World

    C. Internet Revolution and Environment

    D. Modern Technology and New Markets

  At one time a traveler could learn about a region(地区)by looking at the houses. For example, he or she could understand what building materials were available. In areas with many wooden houses, the traveler would have guessed that there were nearby forests. Stone houses would have indicated(表明)that stones were easy to get. However, a closer look at the houses would have told the traveler even more about the area.

  In cold mountain regions of the world, for example, people have traditionally built houses so that one side almost touches the mountain. Thus, this side of the house is protected from cold winds. Modern designers who plan houses are finding this old tradition to be very useful. They are designing houses with one or more walls that touch the surrounding earth. In fact, sometimes the houses are almost completely covered with soil. These houses are efficiently heated and cooled because underground temperatures change very little.

(1)The main idea of paragraph 1 may be that ________ .

[  ]

A. houses would tell the features(特征)of a region

B. people travelled in order to learn about houses

(2)The houses in cold mountain regions ________ .

[  ]

      At the age of sixteen,   I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project
in West Virginia. On the night we arrived,   we discovered that "our family" was living in a trailer(拖车)
that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks,   but every time they finished
one problem,   another surfaced.
     We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house-something unusual but necessary
under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet
with three bedrooms,   a bath and a kitchen.
    On Tuesday of that week,   while we were eating lunch together,   I asked the family's three boys,  
Josh,   Eric and Ryan,   "What do you want for your new room?"Expecting toys and other gadgets that
children usually ask for,   we were astonished when Josh responded,   "I just want a bed."
      The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a
meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night,   a few adults in our group
drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
    When we saw the delivery truck coming,   we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly
contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.
     That afternoon,   as we fitted the frames of the beds together,   Eric ran into the house to watch us.
Too dirty to enter his room,   he observed with wideeyed enthusiasm from the doorway.
     As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows,   Eric asked,   "What is that?"
     "A pillow,   " he replied.
     "What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask.
     "When you go to sleep,   you put your head on it,   " I answered softly. Tears came to my eyes as my
father handed Eric the pillow.
     "Oh…that's soft,   " he said,   hugging it tightly.
     Now,   when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent,   my dad gently asks,  
"Doyouhaveapillow?"
     We know exactly what he means.

1. The writer's first volunteer project was________.
A. working on a poor trailer
B. helping a poor family
C. donating beds and bedding

C. a pillow  
D. a house

4. By saying "Doyouhaveapillow?",   the writer's father means that________.

七.阅读理解    

At first, the earth’s surface layer (层 ) was made up of huge blocks of hard, solid rocks.There slowly, the rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebble(卵石) and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remain mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.

There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layer of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and crack(裂缝) in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.

The moving water of streams and rivers also help to break up rocks. As the water moves along, it carries with it small pieces of rock. These rub the larger ones, Thus, the larger rocks are worn down to smaller pieces.

The heat of the sun also help to breaking up rocks. When the sun shines, the rocks become very hot. If these rocks are suddenly cooled, they may crack. Ice also plays a part in making soil.  Water in the cracks can turn into ice in cold weather. As this happens, it becomes bigger and cracks become wider, and finally break into smaller pieces.
