Our factories and homes burn coal and oil. Every year we have forest fires somewhere. Many scientists believe that the climate is changing.
The earth will perhaps be warmer by about 7 degrees centigrade. At the South Pole and the North Pole, the ice will melt (融化). The sea level (海平面) will rise by about 7meters. As a result, water will cover cities like London, Tokyo and New York. Some ports and towns along the coasts will disappear under water.
Some other scientists think that the dust, smoke and pollution from coal, wood and oil fires will block out the sunrays(紫外线). Then the earth will become colder and great sheets of ice will cover Europe and North America.
When chemicals in the air mix with rain, we have acid (酸) rain. Acid rain can bring us great harm. It destroys forests and kills life in lakes and rivers.
People are beginning to see how serious the problem is. They find it important to work with nature instead of against it. They are trying to save the earth in many different ways. But one of the most important things to do is to make people understand that saving the earth is saving ourselves. Some scientists believe that .
A. the earth is growing warmer
B. we can find oil in our forests

A. cover cities like London and Tokyo
B. raise the sea level by 7 degrees
C. become water and make the sea level rise Acid rain .
A. brings great changes in our climate
B. kills pests in lakes and forests

The sun is a huge, hot and bright star. It is important because without it there would be no life on the earth. The sun gives us light and heat.
All living things depend on the sun for their growth. Plants need light and heat to grow. They use the light from the sun to make food. But we human beings cannot make food by our own bodies from the sun. All the food we eat comes from plants in a food chain(链) . And the food chain starts with the sun . For example.
sun —→ 
potatoes —→ 
chipssun —→ 
corn —→ 
hens —→ 
eggs
sun—→ 
wheat —→ 
bread
Animals need sunlight, too. Just like us, their food comes from plants in food chain, which begins with the sun. For example,
Sun → leaf → caterpilllar(毛虫) → bird
Sun → seaweed(海藻) → small fish → whale(鲸)

For 99% of human history, people took their food from the world around them. They ate all that they could find, and then moved on. Then around 10,000 years ago, about 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land.
The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In European countries near the sea, people eat a lot of fish. In central Europe, away from the sea, people don’t eat so much fish, but they eat more meat. For example, in Germany and Poland, there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.
In North America, Australia, and Europe, people eat with knives and forks. In China, people eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East, people use their fingers to pick up food.
Nowadays it is possible to transport food easily from one part of the world to another. We can eat whatever we like, at any time of the year. In Britain, bananas come from Africa; rice comes from India or the U.S.A.; strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is a very big business. But people in poor countries are still hungry while people in rich countries eat too much.10,000 years ago, people ______ .

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the local people of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the local people become unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy(经济). It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance(推进) the well-being (health and happiness) of local people.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a lot of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.What is probably the reason if local people dislike tourists?
| A．Tourists come to enjoy the customs and beauty. |
| B．Local people lose jobs. |
| C．A lot of hotels are built. |
| D．Too many tourists cause traffic problems. |
What can we do to solve the problems caused by tourism?
| A．Make plans properly. |
| B．Help the country’s economy. |
| C．Build fewer hotels. |
| D．Advance the well-being of local people. |
If tourism grows too quickly, ___________.
| A．businesses will lose money |
| B．other parts of the country’s economy will make more money |
| C．local people will be happier |
| D．more local people will work for tourists. |
Support facilities needed by tourist attractions includes ___________.
①public places ②hotels ③airports ④roads ⑤electricity ⑥sewers
| A．①②③④⑤ | B．②③④⑤⑥ | C．①②③⑤⑥ | D．①③④⑤⑥ |
If the writer wants to add Paragraph 5 to the passage, he may tell us ________.
| A．whether people need to build more hotels |
| B．whether people need to plan tourism properly |
| C．how to deal with the problems above |
| D．how to prevent tourism growing too quickly |

Would you like to adopt an animal? Although this sounds very unusual, some children have done just this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animals by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $900 a year for the food for Brocky.
Not many boys and girls have $900 to spend. That is why several hundred children and grown-ups each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food. Some children sent in only a quarter because that was all the money they had. Other children sent in more money than that.
Since so many people sent money to the zoo to help pay for Brocky’s food, he now will be able to eat as much as he wants. Brocky surely must be a happy tiger to know that he has so many adopted parents. Many children must also be happy to know that they have helped to feed him. It really will be thrilling for those children to go to the Natural Zoo to visit their adopted tiger Brocky.Brocky is________.
| A．an animal zoo |
| B．an adopted child |
| C．a tiger without children’s love |
| D．a tiger in need of adoption |
Several hundred people give money to the zoo to help Brocky because ________.
| A．its food is too expensive for one person to afford |
| B．people don’t want to spend too much money on Brocky |
| C．people don’t love Brocky enough |
| D．the zoo forces them to do so |
Children will be ________ if they go to the zoo to visit the tiger Brocky.

With so many people’s money, Brocky now can _________.
| A．play with many toys |
| B．live without being hungry |
| C．eat meat every day |

| C．many people are kind to animals |
| D．children love animals better than adults do |
根据短文内容，完成下列各题（每小题2分，满分10分）
Children are amazing! They pick up language so naturally and easily. Have you ever wondered why? It’s because of the way they learn.
Children learn by simply doing what comes naturally—they listen, copy, and communicate. Let’s take a closer look at how children learn language. Perhaps we can discover a better, more “natural” way to learn English.
Listen as often as possible
When people talk to children, they often use simple words that children can understand. That’s really important to the children’s language development. In order to learn, children must be able to understand what they hear. If they don’t understand it, it’s just meaningless noise.
Listen to radio or TV programs that use English at your level. If you can’t understand every word or sentence, don’t give up. Just pay attention to what you can understand. And listen as often as you can.
Be a Copycat
Children like to copy their parents, their friends and even the TV. (the, teaches, this, how, pronounce, them, language, to). As you listen to English, repeat what you hear as much as you can.
Use English to communicate
Children don’t practice grammar rules. They use language to talk about things that interest them. This helps them learn to express themselves. They don’t worry about their small vocabulary or poor grammar. They find ways to say what they want and they do it successfully.
So look for chances to talk with people in English. If you can’t find a foreigner to talk to, talk with other English students instead. Start an English discussion group and chat about music, movies and so on. Don’t worry about making mistakes. You can learn English better by correcting mistakes.

If we find a bird nest, we will have a good place of observing(观察) and knowing about birds.
Birds sit on eggs and take care of their baby birds from April to June.
