阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出可以填入空白
处的最佳选项,并在答题表内填入相应的大写字母。
Trees are useful to man in three very important ways. They provide him with
wood and other products; they gave him shade; they help to prevent drought (干
旱) and 16 . Unfortunately, in many 17 of the world, man has not realized that the
third of these services is 18 important.
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to 19
warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire, but, without
its trees, its soil became hard and 20. When the empire fell to pieces, the country
found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even when a government realized the importance of a plentiful supply of trees,
it is difficult for 21 to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants
wood to cook his food 22; and he can earn money 23 making charcoal or selling wood
to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look 24 new
trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can 25 the people,
the forests will slowly disappear.
D. sunlight
C. air
C. place
C. most
C. put
This does not only 26 that the villagers’ sons and grandsons have fewer trees.
The results are even more serious; for where 27 are trees, their roots break the
soil up ---allowing the rain to sink in --- and also bind (结合) the soil, thus
preventing it 28 washed away easily, but where there are no 29 , the rain falls
on hard ground and carrying 30 with it the rich top soil, in which crops grow so
well. When all the top soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
16. A. floods
17. A. corner
18. A. the most
19. A. set
20. A. poor
21. A. it
22. A. with
23. A. with
24. A. after
25. A. ask
26. A. mean
27. A. they
28. A. been
29. A. water
30. A. away
B. soil
B. part
B. the more
B. build
B. fine
B. them
B. by
B. of
B. for
B. educate
D. remove
D. realize
D. there
D. was
D. air
C. beautiful
C. he
C. on
C. by
C. at
C. want

表内填入相应的大写字母。
A
Change is a nature part of language development. The words you like to use
are probably a little different from those that your grandparents used when they
were young. A study carried out by a British company found that the use of e-mail
has had a bad influence (影响) on the standard (标准) of written English.
According to the research, computer users today are too busy to hit the “shift”
buttons on their keyboards--- e-mails are often written in lower case, that is to
say, with no capital letters (大写字母) for names or the beginning of sentences.
Spelling mistakes are generally accepted even in formal e-mails. And nouns are often
used as verbs (e.g. Please bookmark this site).
With the development of the Internet, e-mail and mobile phone messages, a new
language has developed within just a few years --- Weblish. The latest OxfordEnglish
Dictionary has included many new words showing the changes in our communication
culture.
While some language experts are concerned (关注的) about the future of English
and want to do something, John Simpson, chief editor of the dictionary says, “The
standards may be different now but it has certainly encouraged writing and
communication, which means a faster development of language change. There are a
large number of words that either come from the Internet or have been given new
meanings by the Internet.”
31. According to the research, people often write e-mails in lower case to _______.
A. save time
B. show kindness
C. make fun
D. be different
32. The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. the mistakes found in English e-mails
B. the side effects of the use of
e-mails
C. the changes in English used in e-mails
D. the reason why people use e-mail
33. Which of the following is TURE according the passage?
A. Spelling mistakes are not allowed in today’s e-mails
B. The Internet develops new words as well as new meanings to some old words
C. Weblish is only used in e-mail
D. We cannot find Weblish in a dictionary at present
34. According to the passage, John Simpson probably agrees that ________.
A. the use of e-mail stops the development of language
B. mistakes in e-mails are very important to English
C. everyone should learn to write e-mails in Weblish
D. the Internet has brought great changes to English
B
Why was the Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the
Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles II. By the seventeenth century
it had stopped to be important for defence. Cardinal (红衣教主) Richelieu turned
it a prison. It was not an ordinary prison for common crimes (犯罪). Huge doors
closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille’s workings were secrets.
Prisoners were taken to it in closed carriages. Soldiers on guard duty had to
stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner
never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King’
s letter could set him free.
Over the years the number of the people thrown into the Bastille by King’
s letter had become smaller. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were
writers who had written against the wrong deeds of the government. Voltaire, the
famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717-1718, and another 12days in 1726.
For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for
everything bad and unfair. The day it was broken into, only seven prisoners were
found inside. However, the Bastille was hated by the people. It made one think
of the King’s complete power.
35. The Bastille was first built ________.
A. to protect people living in it against their enemies
B. to punish the King’s enemies who were against him
C. for the church to put prisoners
D. as the King’s place where he could feel safe and happy
36. Who would be sent into the Bastille by the King’s letter? _______
A. Those who had broken the law
B. Those who had done wrong deeds in the government
C.T hose who were thought to be harmful to the King himself
D. Those who had written against the wrong deeds of the government
37. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Prisoners and guards on duty were not allowed to see each other.
B. Soldiers on guard duty had to walk around from time to time.
C. Only the King could put people in, or let them out, as he wanted.
D. None of the prisoners knew how long he would be there.
38. What did people think of the Bastille?
A.T hey thought it was not important since they found a few prisoners in it
B. They thought it was something unfair to be used to punish writers
C. They thought it shouldn’t be kept as a secret at all
D. They thought it was the worst enemy against freedom

One Sunday night, a high school student, Rory Campbell, heard noises next door
to his home in Bonita Mews, off St Asaph Road, Brockley. When he went outside, he
saw his neighbor climbing out of a front window of his second floor flat, which
was on fire. He then saw the man covered in blacksoot (黑灰), shouting for help.

is in his 30s, until firefighters arrived. Rory said, “He was shouting ‘Help me,
help me! Get a ladder, get a ladder!’He was a bit hysterical (歇斯底里的). I
didn’t have time to think. I just tried to calm him by telling him the firefighters
were on the way.”
Rory was told by the man that the fire had been caused by a candle falling over.

and that meant a lot to me. I do feel good because I helped save his life.”
Another neighbor said, “I heard a lot of noise but thought it was coming from
the railway opposite. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the man hanging there. The
boy next door really did save his life by calling the firefighters.”

My dear classmates:
Every one of us is thinking about the future. I also have my own dream.
I have decided to be an inventor, just like Thomas Edison. Does it sound
strange and a bit surprising?
I have this dream ever since my childhood. As we know, inventions can
make our life easier and better. But it is not an easy thing to do. From
now on, I’ll form the habit of watching things carefully. Watch more and
think more. At the same time have various interests, and I should study
