PASSAGE ONE
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Since the earliest times, trees have always been very useful and important to man who made use of them in many ways. Even today trees continue to serve man in so many ways. Trees provide man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats and even bridges. Furniture such as tables, chairs and beds is made of wood.
In the tropics(热带地区) where it is very hot throughout the year, trees protect man from the terrible heat. They are also useful in preventing good and rich topsoil from being washed away during heavy rains that are so common in the tropics.
If there were no trees of vegetation of some kind to hold back the soil with their roots, heavy rain would wash away the rich surface soil that is so important and necessary to agriculture. The result is that the land becomes a desert.
There are so many desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas must have been very fertile areas, but since our ancestors in the distant past did not have enough knowledge about science of nature, they cut down all the trees in the areas where they lived and never planted new ones. By and by, the rich surface soil was blown and washed away by Strong winds and heavy rains. In the end the lands were turned into useless deserts where nothing could grow.

A. useless soil under the earth for agriculture

PASSAGE TWO
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
“I've changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back. " Lucien Lawrence's letter to Father for Christmas written after his schoolteacher's father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have
touched everyone's heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn't see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I'm still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn't wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children.” I haven't forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者), and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It's a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword (剑)and my darling from the power of the dog. ” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I'm sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.
31. According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph___ __
A. puts forward the subject of the text
B. shows the author's pity on the kid
C. acts as an introduction to the discussion
D. makes a clear statement of the author's views
32. In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain______
A. how much he misses his parents now
B. why his parents often appear in his dream
C. when Lucien will get over all his sadness
D. how proud he was when he succeeded in life

A. to leave behind a precious memory to the people related
B. to have a high sense of duty to the whole society
C. to care what others will remember and treasure

Ⅶ. Translation from English into Chinese (15 points)
将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
When we work--and also when we play-- we use up energy. The energy may be physical or mental or a combination of the two. When our work or play is prolonged, we become tired and want to stop and rest or change to some other activity. If we do not stop, we become gradually less efficient.
If we set someone at a job and keep him at it continuously without rest, ultimately he will break down and be unable to go on. If rest intervals or changes of activity are introduced, the person will be able to work for a much longer period of time. Efficiency, then, seems to be mainly a matter of the distribution of work and rest periods. In ordinary life, we work during the day, and sleep at night, year in and year out.

当我们工作或娱乐时,我们会消耗能量.这种能量可能是体力的或者脑力的或者两者都有.
如果我们工作或娱乐时间过长,就会感到疲劳,而且希望停下来休息或改做其他的事.如果继续工作效率就越来越低.
如果我们让一个人不停地做同一样的工作,不让休息,最后他就会崩溃无法继续.如果在工作中间断地休息或变换活动形式,他就能长时间工作.因此,看起来效率主要是分配好时间或变换活动形式,在平常生活中,我们年年都是白天工作,晚上休息.
