In the past, man did not have to think about protection of the environment. There were very few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited. Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on the earth will not survive. Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on land. Yet, we continue to use more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees. We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste is still put into rivers, but there are few laws to stop this. We also know that if the population of the countries in the world is to rise at the present rate in a few years, there will not be enough food. What can we do to solve these problems? If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available for everyone. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept. Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycle them. The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control. Finally, if all of us think about the problem, we will have a better and cleaner planet in the future. 1.This passage mainly tells us about ______. A. the problems we are facing today about environment and the ways to solve them B. the unlimited natural resources in the world C. our rivers are being polluted by waste from factories D. the ways early man protected the environment 2. Which of the following is NOT true? A. If we eat more vegetables, more food can be saved. B. In the past, there was no need for people to think about environmental protection. C. If we keep on cutting trees, forests will disappear. D. We shouldn’t take more and more fish out of the sea, or there will soon be no fish left. 3.What is implied (暗示) in the passage? A. Man is cleverer than any other animal. B. Man will destroy himself if he doesn’t solve the problem. C. Modern fishing methods are helpful in our fishing industry. D. We should make more laws in order to survive. 4.From the passage we can see that the world’s natural resources ______. A. will never be used up B. are being polluted C. are as plentiful as in the past D. are being used up very quickly

Bad behavior is something that most people don’t want to tolerate. However, we have had to tolerate it more and more with each passing year. There seems to be no concern for other people’s feelings; nor do we seem to care about other people’s property. We live in an age where saying what is on our minds has priority over any harm that it might do. There are ways to deal with bad behavior in modern times, though. Too many of us let bad behavior go because we don’t want to rock the boat. This is the time that you should rock the boat and rock it hard. Let people know that you expect it to change. That is the key to dealing with bad behavior. If it continues, take the proper action for the situation you are in. If you have developed the habit of bad behavior, take a hard look at it and then change it. You can’t expect others to behave well if you aren’t willing to look at your own bad behavior and change it. If you don’t have control over anything in a situation, just walk away from it and move on to something that you do have control over. You needn’t feel ashamed of that. Besides, you must stand firm in what you believe. You can’t control what other people do, but you can control what you do about it. You can’t go wrong if you stand firm in what you believe. Understanding your responsibility is also important. Don’t try to take on the responsibility for other people’s behavior. Take care of what you have to and do it in the way you know it should be done. The rest will take care of itself. Bad behavior is on the rise with more and more people behaving badly without having to pay any consequences. Worry about how you behave rather than how others behave. Pretty soon, it just may catch on. 1.It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that _____________. A. bad behavior is common today B. bad behavior is sure to hurt people deeply C. people behave badly because of carelessness D. people are more understanding than before 2.When dealing with people’s bad behavior, you are advised to ____________. A. fight it bravely whenever it happens B. ignore it if it is beyond your control C. let it go to avoid trouble D. make people feel ashamed of their bad behavior 3.Why do many people behave badly according to the passage? A. Because bad behavior is often ignored. B. Because people are often influenced by others. C. Because people aren’t punished for their bad behavior. D. Because people haven’t realized its consequences.

At a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting. He was just able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill. The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray. Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly. He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps. As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before. By the time where he reached the small boat, a thick white mist（雾气）had spread over the surface of the water. He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore. The outer fringe（边缘）of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly. All he could see was the enveloping whiteness. He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake. Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings. Then the mist began to rise, slowly. It soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake. The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects. The magic time had arrived. Dave raised his pole. Dawn was broken. He was excited with expectancy. 1.Dave got up early in the morning to . A. enjoy the scene of the lake B. seek adventure at the lake C. go fishing in the lake D. take a walk by the lake 2.According to the story, which of the following is TRUE? A.Dave broke the quietness of the lake. B.Dave was familiar with the surroundings. C.Dave took a picture of the lake with him.
