19．Trees are useful to man in three important ways：they provide him with wood and other products； they give him shade； and they help to prevent droughts and floods．
Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important．In order to make money from trees，he has cut them down in large numbers，only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had．And besides，he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees．So the forests slowly disappear．
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees．The results are even more serious：for where there are trees，their roots break up soil---allowing the rain to sink in---and also keep the soil，thus preventing it from being washed away easily； but where there are no trees，the rain falls on hard ground and flows away，causing floods and carrying away the rich topsoil．When all the topsoil is gone，nothing remains but worthless desert．
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself an empire．It set up the empire but，without its trees，its soil became poor and it grew weak．When the empire fell to pieces，the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation．
59．What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage？B
A．They help him make money．B．They help him prevent droughts and floods．
C．They give him wood and other products．D．They give him shade．
60．Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly disappear？D
A．New trees are not looked after properly．B．Many trees have been cut down by man．
C．Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees．D．All of the above．
61．Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation？A
A．Because it lost all its trees．B．Because the empire fell to pieces．
C．Because an empire was set up．D．Because too much had been spent on wars．
62．Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down？D
A．Because nothing remains on land except floods．
B．Because roots of the trees break up the soil．
C．Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the topsoil．
D．Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the topsoil．
63．Which title best fits the passage？C
A．How do People deal with Trees？
B．The Function of Tree Wood
C．Trees and Man
D．The Usage of Tree Roots．

6．Koala bears as pets might be appealing to many of us．However，there are quite a few points to consider even before thinking of adopting one．
Koala bears are one of the most lovely Australian animals．In certain cases where the koala has been raised by hand，they have turned out to be quite affectionate pets．These people tied a piece of fur to a pillow and placed it beside a joey （a baby kola） as a substitute （替代物） for the mother koala．This trick seemed to work well with the baby koala．However，it is a known fact that human handling causes stress to koalas．In my personal opinion，this aspect clouds the fact that koala bears can be tamed （驯服）．
In Australia the koala is a priority animal as far as conservation status assessment is concerned．It was hunted to near extinction （灭绝） for its fur．In fact the koala had been wiped out from South Australia in the 1920s．However，rehabilitation efforts have brought the animal back in the state．As for the Australia government，the koala is not a threatened animal，but the US government does list the koala as one．
Although they may live in 40to 60kinds of eucalyptus trees，they prefer only 10to 14specific kinds．Koalas sleep for most part of the day，which is about 16to 18hours，and for most of their waking hours all they do is eat．Koala bears eat the leaves of eucalyptus trees．A full-grown koala can eat almost 2to 3pounds of leaves in a day．Despite their slow movements and sweet look，koala bears can be visious when hungry．Other than this，there are the stress caused to koalas due to human handling and the fights that start in koalas．
Almost everyone finds koalas lovely in the zoo．However，as far as having koala bears as pets is concerned，there are legal issues to consider．Other than that，being able to provide for its diet and habitat is another point that needs some attention before any law legalizing their adoption as pets is passed．
67．What's the author's attitude towards people raising the koala？C
A．Optimistic．B．Grateful．C．Cautious．D．Enthusiastic．
68．Why did Australians hunt the koala？A
A．To get its fur．B．To eat its meat．C．To wipe it out．D．To have it for fun．
69．The underlined word"vicious"in Paragraph 4probably meansA．

C．afraid and defensiveD．lovely and interesting
70．It can be inferred from the passage thatB．
A．koala bears tend to live in groups
B．koala bear care can be very demanding
C．koala bears are not particular about their food
D．koala bears are the No.1threatened animal in the US．

16．The book is written by a famous author so it's well worth ________．（　　）

20．Almost everyone label me an optimist（乐天派）．But even optimists can temporarily lose hope．This was the case for me on a particular cold and gloomy January day．I felt overwhelmed by the painful challenge I was dealing with in my personal life．Marriage，health，and financial struggles had joined forces to create a tornado of emotion that threatened to crush my spirit．I felt angry．The weather seemed to reflect my mood-the gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight．As I labored（劳动） through my workday，I just couldn't shake a sense of hopelessness．
About midway through the day，I left work to get some lunch．Still feeling negative，I noticed that the sun had come out for a brief moment．I began to think about my negative attitude and reminded myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind．While I could not ignore the pain I was going through，I could choose to dwell on（老想着） the negative or I could choose to shift my thinking to a more positive focus．Even as I consciously reminded myself of this truth，I felt incapable of making the shift．
As I stopped at a red light，I looked at the car directly in front of mine．The personalized license plate（车牌） caught my eye-it read"Sunout"．This brought an immediate smile to my face．It felt like a reminder that the sun was shining after all．But then my eyes moved to the car that was perfectly parallel（平行） to the Sunout vehicle．The license plate on the car read"Complainer"．This brought more than a smile to my face as I laugh out loud!Seeing the two very opposite license plates right next to each other at the exact moment in time，I felt my spirits and mood lift as I made the conscious decision to choose a positive attitude．
I returned to work and shared my story with several co-workers who responded with warm laughter．I learned that day that when we are feeling too discouraged to bring ourselves out of a state of negativity，relief is just near!

1．People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother's Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Father's Day，on the third Sunday in June．These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents．They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens．They give love and care．These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers．More mothers now work outside the home．More fathers must help with child-care．
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways．On Mother's Day people wear carnations．A red one stands for a living mother．A white one shows that the mother is dead．Many people attend religious services（宗教仪式）to honor parents．It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves．On these days，families get together at home and in restaurants．They often have outdoor BBQs for Father's Day．These are days of fun and good feelings and memories．
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts．Children make them in school．Many people make their own presents．These are valued more than the ones bought in stores．It is not the value of the gift that is important，but it is"the thought that counts"．Greeting card stores，florists，candy makers，bakeries，telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays．
