    On a rainy day, yon will see many streams of muddy (多泥的) water running down the slopes (斜坡) of a hill. The water is muddy because it washes away soil from the hill slopes.

    　　Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say that the land is eroded (侵蚀). This is known as soil erosion.

    　　Plants can not grow on eroded land．There is not enough soil on eroded land to give them the things they need．Plants need water and salts from the soil.

    　　We can do a number of things to stop soil erosion. This is called soil conservation(保护).

    　　One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is to grow small plants such as grasses. Their roots hold the soil tightly together.

    　　Another way is to plant trees around an open field．Thus soil erosion by strong winds can not take place. Rows of trees act as a very big wall.

    　　Soil erosion on slopes can be stopped by cutting “steps” called terraces (梯田). Water carrying soil can not run straight down the slope now. It has to run down the terraces. This slows down the flow (流速) of the water. Most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces.

    (1)On a rainy day the water running down the slopes of a hill is muddy because ________.

    [　　]

    A．there are no terraces on the slopes

    B．there are no small plants on the slopes

    C．it washes away soil on the slopes

    D．there is too much soil on the slopes

    (2)Plants cannot grow on eroded land because _______.

    [　　]

    A．there is a lot of sand in it

    B．there is not enough water and salts in it

    C．there is no water in it

    D．the land is too hard

    (3)The way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is ________.

    [　　]

    A．to grow small plants such as grasses

    B．to plant trees around an open field

    C．to add fertility to the soil

    D．A or B

    答案：C;B;D
    解析：

    (1) C 根据文章第一段最后一句话可知.

    (2) B 第三段二、三句话说明人们不能在斜坡上种植，因为没有足够的水和盐分.

    (3) D 第五段One way of …，第六段Another way…给出了土壤保护方式.

    　　阅读理解：

    　　If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson and Webster, but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English William the Conquer．

    　　Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups．In the westcentral region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic．In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language．If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German．

    　　But this state of affairs did not last．In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England．For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants．As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German．In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words．We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating．

    　　When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find German more foreign than France because the German they use on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does．Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition．

    1．Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?

    [　　]

    A．folk, field, law

    B．president, lawyer, beef

    C．president, bread, water

    D．bread, field, sheep

    2．What is the subject discussed in the text?

    [　　]

    A．The similarity between English and French

    B．The rule of England by William the Conquer

    C．The French influences on the English language

    D．The history of Great Britain

    3．The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were________．

    [　　]

    A．Celtic and Old English

    B．Welsh and Scottish

    C．Anglo-Saxon and Germanic

    D．Nordic and Germanic

    4．Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?

    [　　]

    A．They know French better than German

    B．Most advertisements in France appear in English

    C．Many French words are similar to English ones

    D．They know little of the history of the English language

    　　阅读理解：

    　　LONDON (Reuters) Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep．That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it．If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food．

    　　“Organic produce is always better,” Gold said．“The food is free of pesticides (农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty．” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business．But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand．“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business．

    1．More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because________．

    [　　]

    A．they are getting richer

    B．they can get the food anywhere

    C．they consider the food free of pollution

    D．they like home-grown fruit

    2．Which of the following statements is TRUE to the facts a-bout most organic produce sold in Britain?

    [　　]

    A．It grows indoors all year round．

    B．It is produced outside Britain．

    C．It is grown on family farms．

    D．It is produced on large farms．

    3．What is the meaning of “the organic trend” as the words are used in the text?

    　　[]

    A．growing interest in organic food

    B．better quality of organic food

    C．rising market for organic food

    D．higher prices of organic food

    4．What is the best title for this news story?

    [　　]

    A．Organic food-healthy, or just for the wealthy?

    B．The making of organic food in Britain

    C．Organic food to import or not?

    D．Good qualities of organic food

    　　阅读理解：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项．

    The Challenge

    　　Nathan's second-hand bike was good enough to get him anywhere he wanted to go. Of course, it couldn't match Tim's in a normal speed race, but all the fancy gears in the world wouldn't get you up Black Mountain. The gradient was so steep in places that you had to get off your bike and push.

    　　On this particular afternoon, the odds were all on Nathan's side. For a start, he was stronger. Tim had always been thin, but recently he'd started to grow so fast that his arms and legs were like pieces of spaghetti. As well as being considerably fitter than his friend, Nathan knew the shortcuts up Black Mountain.

    　　So when Nathan accepted the challenge, he was sure he'd win. He nearly always did, in competitions with Tim. That was what was strange. Tim was so competitive, and yet he wasn't any good at physical things.

    　　By the time the two boys were three quarters of the way to the top, Nathan was clearly ahead. While the road zig-zagged back and forth diagonally up the mountainside, in certain places there were also vertical tracks, where water rushing down the slope in winter had bitten erosion courses into the soil. These had in turn been so overgrown by bushes and long grass in the spring that they resembled tunnels through the bush. The trick was to know where you could cut off a whole bend in the road by leaving the road and pushing your bike up one of these semi-concealed pathways. If you chose the wrong one you'd struggle up for ten minutes and then suddenly reach a dead end. Then there was no alternative but to go back.

    1．The hidden tracks on the mountain had been made by________.

    [　　]

    A．other boys
    B．flowing water
    C．Nathan
    D．bicycles

    2．It was sometimes quicker to use the tracks rather than the road because the________.

    [　　]

    A．tracks were partly hidden

    B．tracks were easier to ride bikes on

    C．road had many bends in it

    D．road was overgrown after the winter

    3．Which of the following advantages did Nathan have over Tim?

    [　　]

    A．Nathan had a better bike and knew the shortcuts up the mountain.

    B．Nathan was fitter and knew the quickest ways up the mountain.

    C．Nathan was stronger and more competitive than Tim.

    D．Nathan was stronger and had a better bike.

    4．The underlined part “the odds were all on Nathan's side” means that ________.

    [　　]

    A．Tim would not try very hard in the race

    B．Tim had not yet grown as big as Nathan

    C．Nathan had a greater chance of winning the challenge

    D．Nathan had more friends who thought he would win

    During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries the London district of Southwark was prosperous (繁荣), and a very important and far-reaching development was taking place at Bankside, an area situated just beside the church now known as Southwark Cathedral. The Rose Theatre, the Swan, the Hope Playhouse and Bear Garden were set up here along with the famous Globe Theatre, in which Shakespeare acted.

    　　William Shakespeare is commemorated (纪念) in Southwark Cathedral today by the modern memorial window in the south aisle. The window was designed by Christopher Webb in 1954, after an earlier window had been destroyed in the war, and describes characters from Shakespeare's plays. Below it is a figure of Shakespeare, carved (雕刻) by Henry McCarthy in 1992, set against a background of seventeenth-century Southwark in relief (浮雕), showing the Globe Theatre, Winchester Palace and the Tower of St. Saviour's Church. This memorial was provided by public support and was dedicated (奉献) in 1911, and every year a birthday service, attended by many great actors and actresses, is　held here in honour of Shakespeare's genius. Shakespeare's brother Edmund was buried here in 1607, and, although the position of Edmund's grave is unknown, he is commemorated by an inscribed (刻写) stone.

    阅读理解

    　　The ocean bottom, a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth, is even today largely unexplored．Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible and hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep．Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a strange environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the outer space．

    　　Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks for over a century, the first detailed global study of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1969, with the beginning of the National Science Foundation’s Deep Sea Drilling Project(DSDP)．Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP’ s drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean’s surface and drill in very deep waters, taking samples of rock from the ocean floor．

    　　The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983．During this time, it sailed 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 samples of rocks around the world．Those samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to make out what it will probably look like millions of years in the future, Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger’ s voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics(构造学)and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes．

    　　The samples of rocks drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also provided a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years．The information of past climatic change can be used to predict future climates．

    (1)

    What does the underlined word“inaccessible”in line 3 means?

    [　　]

    A．

    unrecognizable

    B．

    unreachable

    C．

    unreasonable

    (2)

    Why does the author mention“outer space”in the first paragraph?

    [　　]

    A．

    The Earth’s climate millions of years ago was similar to that in outer space．

    B．

    It is similar to the ocean floor in being strange to the humans．

    C．

    Rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor

    D．

    Techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration

    (3)

    Which of the following is true of the Glomar Challenger?

    [　　]

    A．

    It is a type of submarine．

    B．

    It is an ongoing project．

    C．

    It has gone on over 100 voyages．

    D．

    It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968．

    The Deep Sea Drilling Project was sign firent because it was ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    an attempt to find new sources of oil and gas

    B．

    the first extensive exploration of the ocean bottom

    C．

    made up of geologists from all over the world

    D．

    supported entirely by the gas and oil industry

    (5)

    Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as being a result of the Deep sea Drilling Project?

    [　　]

    A．

    Geologists were able to determine the Earth’s appearance millions of years ago．

    B．

    Two geological theories became more widely accepted by scientists．

    C．

    Geologists observed forms of life never before seen

    D．

    Information was revealed about the Earth’s past climatic changes．
