第二节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A. B. C和D）中，选出最佳答案。
A
A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16 ℃. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.
In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.
There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.
Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than l% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.
36. Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they
.
A. reflect more heat into the atmosphere
B. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth
C. bring about high rainfall throughout the world
D. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16 ℃
37. What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?
A. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.
B. People have a strong desire for resources.
C. We will lose much more than we can gain.
D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.
38. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Rainforests and the Environment
B. How to Save Rainforests
C. How to Protect Nature
D. Rainforests and Medical Development

Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Let’s have a look.
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt.
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really take my hat off to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I instantly spend it.
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people.
My father is an important person. He runs a big company. He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves that cover his arms. Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly. But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve.
44. Which of the following expressions can show someone is nervous?
A. Get caught with one’s pants down.
B. Have ants in one’s pants.
C. Wear the pants in the family.
D. Burn a hole in one’s pocket.
45. If we say someone has to tighten his belt, we probably mean he ___________.
A. has done something wrong
B. used to live a rich life
C. has put on the wrong pants
D. is short of money
46. Someone who spends his money at the drop of a hat most probably ___________.
A. doesn’t save money
B. earns much money
C. never wastes his money
D. spends more than he earns
47. We can use the expression ＂wear one’s heart on one’s sleeve＂ to describe someone who ___________.
A. gets angry easily
B. looks very serious
C. shows his feelings openly
D. often wears a suit and tie
B
In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom’s vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn’t care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn’t really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when 1 made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. I hadn’t turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn’t realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d’Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.
48. What can be inferred about the author’s family?
A. His father was a cruel man.
B. His parents didn’t love him.
C. His parents used to be very busy.
D. His mother didn’t have any jobs.
49. What happened when the author was 4?
A. He learned to smoke.
B. He was locked in a basement.
C. He was arrested by the police.
D. He nearly caused a fire accident.
50. Which of the following is true?
A. Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.
B. The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.
C. Leonhard often visited the author’s family after 1950.
D. The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.

Dear teachers and schoolmates,
It’s a great pleasure for me to be here today and share my experience of learning English with you. I’m interested in English and hope to be an interpreter in the future. Naturally, it’s very important for me to learn English well. As everybody knows, vocabulary is an important part of language. Usually I remember twenty new words a day and put them into use whenever possible. After class, I often listen to English programs. Besides, I’ve learnt a lot about other countries’ culture from the Internet.
Now, I’d like to make some suggestions. Firstly, we should be given more chances to practice using what we’ve learned. Secondly, I suggest we have more English activities, such as English contests and festivals.
Thank you for listening.
