         Farmers use different kinds of soil protection methods to keep their land from being damaged by farming or the forces of nature. One important form of soil protection is the use of windbreaks. Windbreaks are barriers (障碍) formed by trees and other plants. Farmers plant these barriers around their fields.
    There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa, for example. They found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks ______________________ fields without such protection.
         But windbreaks seem to work best when they allow some winds to pass through them. If the wall of trees and plants block the wind completely, the violent air motions (移动) will take place close to the ground. These motions will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away.
         For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line. An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to ten times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak. There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.
         Windbreaks can stop the wind blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for protecting grain crops.
    Questions:  
    1. List at least two advantages of windbreaks based on the text. (Please answer within 8 words.)
    ① ______________________________.  ② _________________________________.

    ____________________________________________________________________________
                                                                                        
    5.Translate the underlined sentence in paragraph 5 into Chinese.

    II. 阅读理解（Reading comprehension）（共20小题，计35分）
    A）选择题：阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。（答案涂在答题纸上）
    A

        Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood—more than 800 films a year.
    The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery, and romance. Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. (“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices. )
    Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script is even finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.

    Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same clothes and scenery (舞台布景）. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget （预算） of only two million U.S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much!
    51. The main topic of the passage is ________.
    A. famous stars in Bollywood
    B. how Hollywood movies are made
    C. the differences between two movie industries
    D. the history of movie-making in India
    52. What is NOT true about Mumbai?
    A. It is the movie capital of India.
    B. Its new name is Bombay.
    C. More movies are made there than in Hollywood.
    D. The film industry there is called “Bollywood”.
    53. Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?
    A. They have interesting stories.
    B. They are much longer than Hollywood films.
    C. They show Indian culture.
    D. They mix different styles of movies.
    54. Bollywood movies are cheap to make because ________.
    A. they are shorter than Hollywood films
    B. the scripts are written by hand
    C. the movies do not use any special effects
    D. most movies reuse things from other movies
    55. Which of these statements would the writer probably agree with?
    A. Most Bollywood movies are very similar.
    B. It takes a lot of money to make a good movie.
    C. Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.
    D. Hollywood movies are too violent.

    Astronomy (天文学) is the oldest science known to man. Thousands of years ago man looked at the stars and wondered about heavens (天堂). But the six planets that he could see with his eyes alone limited man.
    The Greeks studied astronomy over 2,000 years ago. They could see the size, color, and brightness of a star. They could see its place in the sky. They watched the stars move as the seasons changed. But the Greeks had no tools to help themselves study the heavens.
    Each new tool added to the field of astronomy helped man reach out into space. Until there were telescopes (望远镜), man did not know much about the moon. He did not know that the planet called Saturn (土星) had rings around it. His sight was so limited that he could not see all the planets. In the early 1700s, people thought there were only six planets. Pluto (冥王星), the last of the nine planets to be discovered was seen until 1930.

        [1] When you get in your car,you reach for it. When you're at work, you take a break to
    have a moment alone with it. When you get into a lift, you play with it.
        [2] Cigarette? Cup of coffee? No, it's the third most addictive thing in modern life:               .
    And experts say it is becoming more difficult for many people to control their longing to bug it
    more tightly than most of their personal relationships.
        [3] The costs are becoming more and more evident,and I don't mean just the monthly bill.
    Dr. Chris Knippers,a counselor at the Betty ford Center in Southern California,reports that the
    overuse of cell phones has become a social problem not much different from other harmful addictions:
    a barrier to one-on-one personal contact,and an escape from reality.
        [4] Sounds extreme,but we've all witnessed the evidence:The person at a restaurant who talks on
    the phone through an entire meal,ignoring his kids around the table；the woman who talks on the
    phone in the car, ignoring her husband；the teen who texts messages all the way home from school,
    avoiding contact with kids all around him.
        [5] Jim Williams,an industrial sociologist based in Massachusetts, notes that cell-phone addiction
    is part of a set of symptoms in a widening gulf of personal separation. He points to a study by Duke
    University researchers that found one-quarter of Americans say they have no one to discuss their
    most important personal business with. Despite the growing use of phones,e-mail and instant messaging,
    in other words,Williams says studies show that we don't have as many friends as our parents."Just as
    more information has led to less wisdom,more acquaintances via the Internet and cell phones have
    produced fewer friends    ."he says.
