题型:不详难度:来源:
1970 was “World Conservation Year”. The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger. They hoped that the governments would act quickly in order to conserve nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 860 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology. We are changing the earth, the air and the water, and everything that grows and lives. We can"t live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are hoping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests and so on. In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of eleven kilometres of their river. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “No, One"s Going to Change our World. ” It was made by Scatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.

Everyone has experienced trying, but failing to master a difficult book that was begun with the hope of increasing one"s understanding. When that happens, it is 36 to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in 37 too much from the first reading of a(n) 38  book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the 39 reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair(令人失望).
What is the right method? The 40 is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not  41  or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever  42  to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you  43  understand. Read through the difficult  44 ,and you soon come to things that you do understand. Read these  45 .You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that  46  you to have read the book through once  47 .
What you understand by reading the book through to the 48  will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not  49  in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding  50  of it, which will happen  51  you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to  52  the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the  53  of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another  54  for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only  55 our reading, instead of helping it.
36. A. necessary     B. useful C. natural       D. effective

Travel to China is a lifetime experience and a better way to understand China. Only when you are there, you may start to appreciate and understand what a difference to live in a nation with a population of 1.3 billion.
China offers variety choices for visitors. If you are interested in Chinese history, Chinese culture and Chinese scenery, your trip will be very fulfilled and very interesting. If you want to enjoy a peaceful sunshine beach holiday, there are plenty of tourist areas along the coastal line, which have unspoiled beaches and luxury hotels for visitors. In Hainan Island, the beautiful Sanya beaches are opened the whole year around and there is no winter in this island. If you want excitements and nightlife, stay in big cities. There are many places every night for international gathering. If you are adventurers, go to remote areas to watch wild life or visit minorities(少数民族) to see how they live in the hillsides or desert. If you are sporty, take a cycle trip along the countryside, enjoy the rural(田园的) life and meet with Chinese people long the route.
You may have heard or read a lot about China from books, newspapers, magazines and TV programs. Some of them are true but most of them are out of date, incorrect or even false. China is different from many of your previous experiences and may shock you in many ways. This is what China is!
This country is changing and progressing every day. Yet it is still a developing country. After the economic reform, most of the developments concentrate in major cities and remote areas(边远地区) are still very backward. China is a very populated nation and people have to cope with the crowded environment. Foreign visitors may not get used to the mentality of the people and sometimes become frustrated with the situation, which they never experienced before. Basically Chinese are reserve, peaceful and nice. They are very polite too but in their own way. When a foreigner is willing to take a more positive attitude to recognize the difference, the trip will become worthwhile or you may ruin your trip completely by unreasonable expectation and misjudgment of the people in general.
小题1:According to the passage, if you go to China, you can enjoy all but _______.

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised,  “Barbara, be enthusiastic(热情的)! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were!
“Nothing great was ever done without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste(浆糊) that helps you hang in there when the things get tough. It is the inner voice that tells you, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments.
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is the childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing the cello(大提琴). As the music flowed through his fingers, his shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As writer and poet Samuel Ullman once worte, “Years wrinkle(起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, not considering money or title or power. Patricia Mellratl, a retired director of the Missouri Rpertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, long ago, told me, ‘I never made any money until I stopped working for it.’”
We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses finding pleasure in the sweet of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.
小题1:What is the passage mainly talking about?
A.Enthusiasm is more important than experience.
B.Enthusiasm can give people more success and fame
C.Enthusiastic people will never get old
D.Enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life.
小题2:We can infer that enthusiasm is more important for a person especially when __________.
A.he is in troubleB.he is getting old
C.he can do what he loveD.he has succeeded
小题3:The author mentions Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ______.
A.enthusiasm can make people feel young
B.music can arouse people’s enthusiasm
C.enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed
D.enthusiasm can keep people healthy
小题4:How many examples are referred in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?
A.ThreeB.FourC.FiveD.Six
小题5:Which proverb(谚语) may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?
A.A good beginning makes a good ending
B.Don’t cry over the spoiled milk
C.Love me, love my dog
D.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
