【題目】To prevent the deserts coming near, China has planted billions of trees---to replace destroyed forests and as barriers against the sand. This isn’t a cure, though, say experts, as thirsty trees can make the problem worse by taking in groundwater.

“Planting trees is one way, but it isn’t that simple. It doesn’t solve the basic issue of water resources,” says Wu Bo, a professor. “We need to calculate how much water the trees will absorb, or else it could have a negative effect.”

Villagers in Zhengxin have taken on this challenge, with limited success. When the irrigation channels began to run dry, Lu Xianglin switched from wheat to cotton on his land. He also planted trees to protect his fields from sandstorms. He says he still gets good yields(產(chǎn)量) using flood irrigation and earns a good income for his family.

Other farmers haven’t stuck it out(堅持到底): about one in three have left Zhengxin in the past 10 years after their wheat crops died. Young people who can find jobs in the towns rarely return.

Last week, Mr Lu joined the other men in his village on a government-arranged trip to see the land that has been set aside for their relocation, nearly 40 miles to the south. The next day, he was back, shaking his head at the plan. The idea of uprooting his family troubles him, as does the idea of giving up the land that fed his forefathers. He prefers to stay and keep up the fight.

“With enough water, this problem can be solved,” Lu says. “We can plant trees and grass, and they will grow bigger. That will stop the desert.”

Experts say that farmers could switch to drip irrigation (滴灌)to lessen their water intake for growing crops. Elsewhere in the region, farmers have built brick greenhouses as part of a plan to grow vegetables using less water. Roadside signs urge farmers to “Save Water, Protect the Environment”.

【1】The negative effect of planting trees in deserts is that __________.

A. it can make groundwater become less

B. it can prevent the sand moving freely

C. it can stop crops growing well

D. it can get the soil to become poor

【2】Why did Mr. Lu NOT accept the idea of relocation?

A. Because the plan of relocation will cost him much money.

B. Because his family had trouble moving away.

C. Because he was reluctant to give up his land.

D. Because he would rather stay than fight against the deserts.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. The deserts drive more and more people to leave their homes for their lives.

B. People have no means to fight against the land becoming desert.

C. Water is the biggest barrier for people to stop the desert.

D. Planting trees cannot solve the problem of desertification of farmland.

【4】What advice is given by experts to save water?

A. To plant more trees.

B. To build greenhouses.

C. To change crops.

D. To use drip irrigation.

【題目】If you are a sleep deprived(被剝奪) teacher, you may not be aware of the term woodpeckering(啄木鳥式點頭), but you’ve probably done it. It happens the day following a bad night’s sleep. You’re sitting in a long meeting and you can barely keep your eyes open, so you support your head up with your hand. Next thing you know, you are moving your sleeping head back to its upright position. Do this a few times and you are woodpeckering.

I thought I knew sleep deprivation when I did my medical internship in hospital. That year I frequently went 36 hours with no sleep. When I finished my stay in neurology(神經(jīng)內(nèi)科), I welcomed the promise of full nights of sleep ever after. It went pretty well for the next 10 years until I became a school teacher and experienced a whole new level of sleep deprivation.

Teachers’ working hours go far beyond the 8 am to 5 pm schedule of kids in school. There are hours spent at staff meetings, correcting homework, preparing for the next day and then there is the worrying. What I did in a hospital emergency room required no more intensive mental energy than what is need to keep 30 kids attentive enough to learn what I was teacher.

Good teachers are like magicians keeping a dozen balls in the air to come at right time, with alarm set for 6 am to finish grading papers, memories of the day that’s gone- including the students who didn’t understand something, forgot their lunch or were embarrassed by wrong angers. All these will become sleep-resistant barriers. And also with some financial stress, you’ll have a cycle of insomnia(失眠) with unwelcome consequences.

With inadequate sleep comes irritability(易怒), forgetfulness, lower tolerance of even minor annoyances, and less efficient organization and planning. These are the very mental muscles that teachers need to meet the challenges of the next day. In wanting to do a better job the next day, the brain keeps bringing up the worries that deny the rest it needs.

【1】After a bad night’s sleep, usually the direct effect for the next day is to ______.

A. keep one’s eyes open all the time

B. move head back and forth

C. raise one’s head in upright position

D. keep nodding like a woodpecker

2Good teachers’ sleep problems are mainly due to the _____.

A. common sleep-resistant barriers

B. embarrassment for wrong answers

C. diligence and devotion to teaching

D. misunderstanding of their students

3What does the writer really want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. Unfavorable effects of inadequate sleep are various

B. Lay down worries and sleep well first for the next day.

C. Teachers should often practice mental muscles.

D. Better job has nothing to do with inadequate sleep.

How to control embarrassing moments

Have you ever done something embarrassing? At that moment, you probably wished you could disappear into air. Good news? You can keep the damage to the minimum. Heres some help.

【1】

You are staring at a handsome boy so hard that you walk into a wall. You dropped all your books. The best thing you can do? If youre not hurt seriously, laugh it off. Say like Hey, I can teach you to do that if you want to! By laughing at yourself, you show people youre confident and still in control of the situation.

2

Some situations are not suitable for laughing off. Your underwear falls out of your backpack. You pass gas while giving a speech. Making a joke would call more attention to what happened. What now? You can just pretend nothing happened and go on what you were doing, or you can say Oh, that was awkward and then move on.

3

Some embarrassing situations may embarrass yourself and make someone else feel bad. You imitate (模仿) your teachers accent just as the teacher walks in. Making a joke or running away wont make you look better. Instead, apologize, “I’m so sorry about that. It may make things right again.

B. Move on

C. Laugh it off

D. Run away

【題目】We grew up with the familiar toy bricks (積木) that gave us the imagination to build towers and castles. Generations have been attracted by this toy that lets children and adults alike create anything and everything. But with over 200 millions sets being sold a year in over 100 countries, the question remains — where did Lego actually come from?

Lego was born from the creative mind of Danish carpenter (木匠), Ole Kirk Christiansen, back in the early 1930s. He established a small business in Denmark. He and his team built a variety of household goods like ironing boards along with wooden toys. The Lego name was adopted in 1934, formed from the Danish words “Leg Godt” or “play well”, which means “I study” or “I put together” in Latin.

Christiansen’s company continued to make wooden toys until 1942 when fire struck — the entire Lego factory burned to the ground. Unwilling to give in, the factory was rebuilt and the production line restarted soon after. By 1954, Christiansen’s son, Godtfred, had become the junior managing director of the Lego Group. It was during his conversation with an overseas buyer that he was struck by the idea of a toy system.

For over 30 years, the Lego Company made only toys and related goods. Then, in 1968, the company opened its first Legoland in Denmark. Combining the Lego building bricks with a computer, the Robotics Invention System 1.5 is now the most advanced toy in the Lego Company, which is targeted at users aged twelve and above, and that includes any parents or grandparents that want to join in.

Now the Lego Company is expanding its production lines to include lights, cameras and so on. Lego Company has done a lot to entertain many children around the world.

A. It is the most advanced toy in the Lego Company.

D. It is the most expensive toy invented since 1968.

3What is the correct order of the following events in the development of Lego?

a. The entire Lego factory burned to the ground.

b. The company and its products adopted the name Lego.

c. The company opened its first Legoland in Denmark.

d. Godtfred had become the junior managing director of the Lego Group.

House Sitting

In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.

In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 【1】

So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 【2】 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.

【3】 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.

There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 【4】 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.

Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.

【5】 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get is references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to possible house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.

A. I have done house sitting many times.

B. Thousands of people do this all the time.

C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.

D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.

E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.

F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.

G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.
