a hill. The water is muddy because it washes away soil from the hill slopes.
Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say
that the land is eroded (侵蚀). This is known as soil erosion.
Plants cannot grow on eroded land. There is not enough soil on eroded land to give them the things they
need. Plants need water and salts from the soil.
We can do a number of things to stop soil erosion. This is called soil conservation (保护).
One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is to grow small plants such as grasses. Their roots
hold the soil tightly together. Another way is to plant trees around an open field. Thus soil erosion by strong
winds cannot take place. Rows of trees act as a very big wall.
Soil erosion on slopes can be stopped by cutting "steps" called terraces (梯田). Water carrying soil cannot
run straight down the slope now. It has to run down the terraces. This slows down the flow of the water.
Most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces.
There are some other ways of soil conservation.
B. there is no small plant on the slopes
C. it washes away soil from the slopes
D. there is too much soil on the slopes
B. there is not enough water and salts
C. there is no water
D. the land is too hard
B. to plant trees around an open field
C. to add fertilizer to the soil
D. A and B
B. two
C. more than three
D. six

the overuse of the lakes, natural climate changes and other factors (因素), these lakes are disappearing quickly.
Millions of people in Africa depend on water sources like lakes and rivers for their daily water. In other
words, they cannot live without these lakes and rivers. Recent studies by the United Nations show that this
loss of water supply is putting a great pressure on the African population.
In the 1960s, Lake Chad was nearly 83,200 square feet large. In about forty years, it has lost 95% of its
size and it has almost completely dried up. At one time, it was one of the largest lakes in the world, and was
around 960,000 square feet around 6,000 years ago.
The sizes of lakes and rivers and the amount of water have something to do with seasons naturally. But,
pollution and agriculture also play an important part in the loss of water. Many pollutants (污染物) are put into
lakes and rivers so that many lakes and rivers are seriously polluted, and the water may be poisonous (有毒的).
If something isn"t done soon about the disappearing lakes and rivers, there will not be enough water for
everyone. Then many people in Africa will face diseases and possible dehydration (脱水).
B. Africa is the largest continent on earth.
C. As climate changes, there is less and less water in Africa.
D. Now Africa has less water than before.
B. Lake Chad was a large lake
C. how quickly water is being lost in Africa
D. Lake Chad is 4,160 square feet now
B. Agriculture develops quickly.
C. The number of population in Africa will be smaller.
D. Many people will suffer from diseases.
B. To show people the results of the loss of water in Africa.
C. To call on people to solve the problem of the loss of water in Africa.
D. To tell people how to protect the lakes and rivers in Africa.

"Dummy" is a word for a stupid person. The dummies books are not really for stupid people. They are
designed to show people how to do something they may never have tried before, like painting a house or
learning a language. The books all say in a funny way that they are for dummies, such as World History for
Dummies, Rabbits for Dummies, Chinese Cooking for Dummies, and Wedding Planning for Dummies. The
first such book, DOS for Dummies, was published in 1991. It helped people learn how to use the DOS
operating system for computers. Since then, more than one hundred fifty million dummies books have been
sold.
The dummies.com website explains the idea behind the books. It says that they show that people can be
taught to do anything. First they can make fun of ideas that are difficult to understand. Then they show how
the information can be interesting and easy. The publishers say that the books do not provide more information
than necessary. They give readers just enough information to do what they want. They say that the dummies
books give the best and easiest way to do something. And the books use simple and easy language.
There are more than one thousand different dummies books. A report in New York Times says that the
top-selling dummies books are those that explain technology and personal finance.
The publishers say that the best-selling dummies books are those providing information many people need-
like information about diseases, education and cooking. People interested in opera, car repair and wine can also
find dummies books to help them. And there are even more dummies books to come. The publishers say that
they publish about two hundred new dummies books every year.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the
biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We
see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem
was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was
dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It"s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one
kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us
angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and
factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous
kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there
will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And
we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
B. Thanks to science development
C. Because the earth is being polluted day and night
D. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year
B. as easy as
C. much harder than
D. as hard as
B. noise pollution
C. air pollution
D. water pollution
B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.
C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.
D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting
against the problem of SO2.

island by last December"s tsunami, say researchers.
Harindra Fernando, a fluid dynamicist (力学家) at Arizona State University in Tempe, made the connection
after a visit to his native Sri Lanka earlier this year. While serving as a scientific expert and translator for a
BBC-documentary team, he chatted with locals who said they saw the tsunami turn sideways when it hit
coral-which would have made it less powerful than in coral-free areas. Fernando linked this to trucks he had
seen last year carrying piles of coral away from the sea.
Using the eyewitness reports, estimates (估算) of wave heights, and a series of divers to check the
presence or absence of corals, Fernando and his colleagues produced a map of coral gaps and wave flooding
along Sri Lanka"s southwest coast.
The tsunami reached significantly farther inland through the gaps: in one instance, the water traveled 1.5
kilometres long and knocked a passenger train off its tracks, killing 1,700. But only a few kilometers away,
where the coral was still undamaged, the wave travelled just 50 metres inland and caused no deaths.
There is a similar phenomenon. In Nicaragua in 1992, a tsunami poured through a break in the coral reef
made to let boats through. "Within this passage, water went one kilometre inland," says Fernando. "But nearby,
where the coral was undamaged, there were still beach umbrellas standing."
In Sri Lanka, coral is illegally mined to provide souvenirs for tourists, or to be used in house paint. Coral
harvesters sometimes blow it up with dynamite (炸药) in order to collect fish at the same time. Often, the
reefs in the best shape are those in front of hotels, as the hotel owners maintain them for the tourists. Fernando
hopes that his findings will encourage the Sri Lankan government to enforce (实施) its laws against coral
mining.

D. it is urgent to enforce laws against coral mining

D. Tourists" souvenirs.
