    Whenever human populations have lived in forest areas, they have always cut down trees which they used for a number of purposes, for housing and ships and served as a source of heating fuel and timber. Growth of cities often meant expansion into forest areas, while even more trees were removed to provide space for agriculture. With the growing demand for paper, vast quantities of trees have also been cut down for paper production. These factors, along with many others, have been contributing to a dangerous phenomenon known as deforestation.
    In the last 5,000 years, humans have reduced forest from roughly 50 percent of the earth’s land surface to less than 20 percent. Most of this original, or old growth, forest cover is concentrated in three large areas: the Canadian and Alaskan boreal forest, the boreal forest of Russia, and the tropical forest of the northwestern Amazon Basin and the Guyana Shield. These areas comprise almost 70 percent of the world’s remaining original forest cover. In most places, the rate of deforestation is increasing, with the alarming result of 16 million hectares disappearing worldwide every year.
    Loss of forest does not just mean the decline of natural resources. There are several other factors that make deforestation seriously harmful to both the human and natural worlds. One of them is changes in the global climate. For example, forest clearance is releasing substantial volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere as vegetation is burnt or decays. It has been suggested that this is a significant factor in global warming. Moreover, about 10 percent of the world’s tree species are in danger of extinction as a result of deforestation. Deforestation also threatens biological diversity through the destruction of wildlife habitats, which endangers a number of animal species and leads to their potential disappearance. Species are particularly easy to extinction in tropical rainforests because many species have few individuals per unit area, which makes reproduction more difficult. Finally, since forests play an important role in storing water and stabilizing soil, deforestation and the resulting change in land use cause soil erosion (腐蚀) and other forms of land degradation.
    72.   The passage discusses all of the following EXCEPT the ________.
    A. causes of deforestation                                   B. consequences of deforestation
    C. management of deforestation                      D. rate of deforestation
    73.   The word “diversity” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
    A. variety                                                                  B. expansion           
    C. development                                                      D. advantage
    74.   Why does the author mention fuel and timber in Paragraph 1?
    A. To explain the rate of deforestation.
    B. To compare them with housing and ships.
    C. To show the dangers of deforestation.
    D. To illustrate the causes of deforestation.
    75.   Which of the following sentences summarizes Paragraph 3 best?
    A. Deforestation threatens biological diversity.
    B. Deforestation has many harmful consequences.
    C. Deforestation causes changes in global climate.
    D. Deforestation should be stopped.

    三、阅读理解：
    It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
    I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
    Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
    Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
    If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
    36. The author is primarily addressing _______.
    A. parents of teenagers              B. newspaper readers.
    C. those who give advice to teenagers  D. teenagers
    37. The first paragraph is mainly about _______.
    A. the teenagers’ criticism of their parents.
    B. misunderstanding between teenagers and their parents.
    C. the dominance of the parents over their children
    D. the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises.
    38. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they ______.
    A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own.
    B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste.
    C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better.
    D. want to irritate their parents.
    39. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be _____.
    A. obedient    B. responsible   C. co-operative   D. independent.

    One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the “cashless society” is not on the horizon---it’s already here.
    While computer offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how far they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
    Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.

    A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes

    Did you ever wonder why leaves change colors in autumn, or how it happens? Here’s a quick explanation.
    First of all, you’ve probably noticed that not all trees lose their leaves. There are two major types of trees: deciduous trees and evergreens. Evergreens keep their leaves and stay green all year long. The deciduous trees are the ones that lose their leaves each year.
    In autumn, the days begin to get shorter. The sun is also lower in the sky at noon, which causes temperatures to be cooler. The combination of less sunshine and lower temperatures is what causes the deciduous trees to drop their leaves. In winter, deciduous trees “go to sleep”, sort of like a bear goes into hibernation.
    Leaves are the food factories for a plant. Unlike animals，plants make their own food by taking energy directly from the sun. Plants do this by using a chemical in their leaves called chlorophyll.
    Chlorophyll is green. During the spring and summer the leaves of a deciduous tree look green because there is a lot of chlorophyll there. In autumn, however, the sunshine becomes more  scarce and the leaves on the trees stop making new chlorophyll. As the old chlorophyll starts to break down, the green color of the leaf begins to go away.
    You’ve probably also noticed that the leaves of different kinds of trees change different colors. The leaves of some trees turn yellow or orange, while the leaves of other trees turn bright red or purple. The different colors are caused by the different chemical reactions that are happening in the leaves.
    For example, the leaves of some trees turn yellow when the chlorophyll breaks down. When the green chlorophyll goes away, a yellow pigment in the leaf becomes visible. The yellow pigment, called cartenoid, was already there during the summer, but is was not easily seen because there was too much green chlorophyll.
    In other trees where the leaves turn red or purple a different chemical reaction takes place. In those leaves the chlorophyll also breaks down, but another chemical reaction takes place at the same time. Chemicals in the leaves, called starches, begin to change into chemicals called anthocyanins, which give the leaves their red and purple colors.
    So next time you see the beautiful colors of autumn you will also know the science behind that beauty.
    46.   What is the correct term for trees that lose their leaves in the autumn?
    A. Evergreens       B. Deciduous        C. Cartenoids  D. Anthocyanins
    47.   Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of trees dropping their leaves?
    A. A change in temperature   B. The amount of daylight available
    C. Extra chlorophyll         D. Chemical changes in the leaves
    48.   If there are 50 evergreens and 10 deciduous trees in a forest, in autumn what color are most of the leaves in the forest likely to be?
    A. Green B. Red and purple
    C. Yellow        D. not enough information to determine the answer
    49.   Which of the following is only present in leaves during the autumn?
    A. Chlorophyll       B. Starch C. Cartenoids        D. Anthocyanins
    50.   Where would such an article mostly likely be published?
    A. In a book                   B. In a primary school science text book
    C. In a magazine for young people       D. All are equally likely

        You get all sorts of demands, and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding surprise. If a guest asks for rubber gloves. You don't ask why. You say, “No problem. What colour do you want？”
    　　There have been some demands which, much as I would have liked to fill, I couldn't. A Japanese businessman， for example， thought the manager of a hotel was like the captain of a ship so he asked me to marry him and the woman he loved. There was one time, however, we did help out. A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz she would say yes. He asked us to put the ring in a cake, and she accepted.
    　　Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you've got something to sell, take your clients(客户) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful. A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say “Good morning, Mr. Smith” when he walked through the door with two other men. This he did， and could hear Mr. Smith saying, “I do wish they would leave me alone at this place.”
    　　According to Julian Payne， the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters， who carry bags for hotel guests. “Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants or tickets for a popular concert. Don't ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don't know. Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago.”
    56．When guests ask for something strange，the manager of a good hotel would think ______.
    　　A．how he can meet their needs
    　　B．why they have such demands
    　　C．what problems the hotel has
    　　D．who is the best person to go to
    57．Which of the following examples explains “we did help out？”
    　　A．The hotel bought a ring for a young lady.
    　　B．A Japanese married the woman he loved.
    　　C．The manager once acted as a captain.
    　　D．A young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend.
    58．Which of the following statements is true about the porters in expensive hotels?
    A．They sell tickets for concerts.
    B．They know how to make a good deal.
    C．They know a lot about the hotels and the guests.
    D．The come to work even on their days off.
    59．By saying “I do wish they would leave me alone at this place”， Mr. Smith ______.
    　　A．showed that he disliked such people at the hotel
    　　B．gave the impression that he was a constant guest
    　　C．tried to make his clients feel sorry for him
    　　D．sounded as if he was tired of such greetings
