Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.
Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
1. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can __________.
A. keep him from the hot sunshine
B. enable him to build warships
C. make him draw quick profit from them

A. man is only interested in building empires
B. man is eager to profit from trees
C. man hasn't realized the importance of trees to him
D. man hasn't found out that he has lost all trees
3. Sooner or later the forests will disappear __________.
A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees
B. unless people stop cutting down their trees
C. unless all people are taught the importance of planting trees
D. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them
4. The word "bind" in Paragraph 5 means “__________”.
A. to wash away B. to make wet
C. to make stay together D. to improve
5. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they can __________.

B. cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink in
C. prevent the soil from being washed away
D. make the topsoil stick together

A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.
In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.

A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people

A. do not need to find jobs
B. leave home at an early age
C. have better education than their parents
D. marry people younger than them
9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?
A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.
B. Parents do not love their children dearly.
C. American society changes rapidly.

Dr. Harvey Gates, the noted scientist, might never have discovered the Kamron lizard (蜥蜴) in Blovia, if it had not been for a childhood accident. As a boy, he was determined to become a baseball player, but when he broke his arm in practice at the age of fourteen and was forced to stay off the playing field for a while, he took notice of the natural world around him and liked what he saw.

1. The first, and maybe the most important step, is to set a budget for yourself and stick by it. Take a look at your household income and outgo. Set the budget up to accommodate your payday schedule. In other words, if you get paid once a month, then you have to budget accordingly so that you won’t run out of money before the end of the month.
2. Do some brainstorming about your expenses and how you could possibly cut back on them. It is wise to write them down on paper because it is less easy to di*iss them that way. For example, can you cut down on the amount of gas you use by taking public transportation? If you eat out often, consider making more meals at home. Examine your buying habits.
3. When you are feeling down, go for a long walk instead of going shopping. Make a grocery list and carefully plan what groceries you need for the coming week, then go to the store and buy them. Coupons can be advantageous if you buy name brand items, but store brands are often cheaper in the long run.
4. Scientists must then determine how much exposure to pollutants is harmful. Once exposure levels have been set, steps can be taken to reduce exposure to air pollution. These can be accomplished by regulation of man-made pollution through legislation. Many countries have set controls on pollution emissions for transportation vehicles and industry.
5. In many countries in the world，steps are being taken to stop the damage to our environment from air pollution. Scientific groups study the damaging effects on plant，animal and human life. Legislative bodies write laws to control emissions. Educators in schools and universities teach students about the effects of air pollution. The first step to solve air pollution is asses*ent.
6. The situation is made worse since many of the earth’s forests are being removed，and plant life is being damaged by acid rain. Thus，the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is continuing to increase. Pollution also needs to be considered inside our homes，offices，and schools. Some of these pollutants can be created by indoor activities such as *oking and cooking.

1. 首先，而且或许是最重要的一步就是要为自己做好预算，而且要按照预算来执行。认真地看一看你的家庭收入和支出。做预算时要考虑到发薪水的日子。换句话说，如果你每月拿一次薪水，那么你就要依此来做预算，这样的话，你就不会在月底之前就花光所有的钱了。
2. 花些心思考虑一下你的花费及如何才能减少开支。把它们记在纸上是一种很明智的做法，因为这样就不容易轻易放弃。比如，你能不能通过乘坐公共交通工具来节省一些汽油？如果你经常到饭店吃饭，可以考虑一下多在家里就餐。反思一下自己的购物习惯。
3. 当你感到情绪低落的时候，你可以去多走一走而不要去购物。列一个购物清单，并且仔细地计划未来一周你需要哪些物品，然后去商店买齐。如果你购买名牌商品，优惠券能为你节省开支，但从长远来看，普通牌子的商品更划算。
4. 科学家们必须由此确定多少污染物暴露在空气中是有害的。一旦暴露水平被确立，就可以减少导致空气污染的暴露。可以通过立法调节人为制造的污染问题。许多国家已经对交通工具和工业的污染排放量进行了控制。
5. 全世界许多国家正采取措施以制止空气污染对环境的破坏。科学小组研究其对植物、动物和人类生活的破坏性后果。立法机构拟定法律，以控制废气排放。中小学校和大学的教育工作者把空气污染的影响教给学生。解决空气污染问题的第一个步骤是评估。
6. 这种情况现在变得更加严重，因为地球上的许多森林被砍伐， 酸雨也破坏了植物的生命。因此，空气中的二氧化碳在不断增加。在家中、办公室内和学校里也需要考虑到污染。室内活动，例如吸烟和烹饪，也会制造一些污染物。

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.
Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
1. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can __________.
A. keep him from the hot sunshine
B. enable him to build warships
C. make him draw quick profit from them
D. protect him from droughts and floods
2. It's a great pity that __________.
A. man is only interested in building empires
B. man is eager to profit from trees
C. man hasn't realized the importance of trees to him
D. man hasn't found out that he has lost all trees
3. Sooner or later the forests will disappear __________.
A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees
B. unless people stop cutting down their trees
C. unless all people are taught the importance of planting trees
D. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them
4. The word "bind" in Paragraph 5 means “__________”.
A. to wash away B. to make wet
C. to make stay together D. to improve
5. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they can __________.
A. keep rain from falling down to soft ground
B. cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink in
C. prevent the soil from being washed away
D. make the topsoil stick together

A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.
In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.
6. The first paragraph tells us that ______.
A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people
B. it is out of date to talk about the generation gap
C. children and parents are trying to understand each other
D. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other
7. In a more traditional society, old people_______.
A. have their children respect and listen to them
B. do not care for their children at all
C. expect their children to rebel against them
D. do not live together with their children
8. In American society young people________.
A. do not need to find jobs
B. leave home at an early age
C. have better education than their parents
D. marry people younger than them
9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?
A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.
B. Parents do not love their children dearly.
C. American society changes rapidly.
D. Parents expect too much of their children.
10. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. that the generation gap needs considering
B. when the generation gap is necessary in American society
C. why the generation gap exist
D. how we can reduce the generation gap

四．英译汉：
1. The first, and maybe the most important step, is to set a budget for yourself and stick by it. Take a look at your household income and outgo. Set the budget up to accommodate your payday schedule. In other words, if you get paid once a month, then you have to budget accordingly so that you won’t run out of money before the end of the month.
2. Do some brainstorming about your expenses and how you could possibly cut back on them. It is wise to write them down on paper because it is less easy to di*iss them that way. For example, can you cut down on the amount of gas you use by taking public transportation? If you eat out often, consider making more meals at home. Examine your buying habits.
3. When you are feeling down, go for a long walk instead of going shopping. Make a grocery list and carefully plan what groceries you need for the coming week, then go to the store and buy them. Coupons can be advantageous if you buy name brand items, but store brands are often cheaper in the long run.
4. Scientists must then determine how much exposure to pollutants is harmful. Once exposure levels have been set, steps can be taken to reduce exposure to air pollution. These can be accomplished by regulation of man-made pollution through legislation. Many countries have set controls on pollution emissions for transportation vehicles and industry.
5. In many countries in the world，steps are being taken to stop the damage to our environment from air pollution. Scientific groups study the damaging effects on plant，animal and human life. Legislative bodies write laws to control emissions. Educators in schools and universities teach students about the effects of air pollution. The first step to solve air pollution is asses*ent.
6. The situation is made worse since many of the earth’s forests are being removed，and plant life is being damaged by acid rain. Thus，the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is continuing to increase. Pollution also needs to be considered inside our homes，offices，and schools. Some of these pollutants can be created by indoor activities such as *oking and cooking.

四．英译汉：
1. 首先，而且或许是最重要的一步就是要为自己做好预算，而且要按照预算来执行。认真地看一看你的家庭收入和支出。做预算时要考虑到发薪水的日子。换句话说，如果你每月拿一次薪水，那么你就要依此来做预算，这样的话，你就不会在月底之前就花光所有的钱了。
2. 花些心思考虑一下你的花费及如何才能减少开支。把它们记在纸上是一种很明智的做法，因为这样就不容易轻易放弃。比如，你能不能通过乘坐公共交通工具来节省一些汽油？如果你经常到饭店吃饭，可以考虑一下多在家里就餐。反思一下自己的购物习惯。
3. 当你感到情绪低落的时候，你可以去多走一走而不要去购物。列一个购物清单，并且仔细地计划未来一周你需要哪些物品，然后去商店买齐。如果你购买名牌商品，优惠券能为你节省开支，但从长远来看，普通牌子的商品更划算。
4. 科学家们必须由此确定多少污染物暴露在空气中是有害的。一旦暴露水平被确立，就可以减少导致空气污染的暴露。可以通过立法调节人为制造的污染问题。许多国家已经对交通工具和工业的污染排放量进行了控制。
5. 全世界许多国家正采取措施以制止空气污染对环境的破坏。科学小组研究其对植物、动物和人类生活的破坏性后果。立法机构拟定法律，以控制废气排放。中小学校和大学的教育工作者把空气污染的影响教给学生。解决空气污染问题的第一个步骤是评估。
6. 这种情况现在变得更加严重，因为地球上的许多森林被砍伐， 酸雨也破坏了植物的生命。因此，空气中的二氧化碳在不断增加。在家中、办公室内和学校里也需要考虑到污染。室内活动，例如吸烟和烹饪，也会制造一些污染物。
