III.阅读理解(共15小题,计25分)
A)根据下面一篇短文的内容判断下列句子的正误,正确的用“A”表示,错误的用“B”表示。(共5小题,计5分)
(A)
Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the desert in time.
Why is more and more land becoming desert? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.
Some places on the earth don’t get very much rain. But they still don’t become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants don’t let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don’t let the wind blow the dirt(泥土) away. When a little bit of rain falls, the plants hold water. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.
36. Plants can keep dry land from becoming desert.
37. It is good to get rid of (除去)the grass in the desert.
38. All places without much rain will become deserts.
39. It’s important for us to plant trees and protect forests.
40. Scientists will soon change the desert into good land.
B)阅读下面两篇短文,从每个小题所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。(共10小题,计20分)
(B)
How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?
Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when you’re around other people. Experts have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences.
It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much.
Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too.
You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good opportunity pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There is nothing to be afraid of.
41. The underlined phrase “to feel yourself again” in the third paragraph means “________”.
A. to find yourself B. to be oneself
C. to enjoy oneself D. to help oneself
42. What kind of shyness can be bad according to the passage?
A. You find it is hard to enjoy yourself at a party.
B. You feel a little nervous when you go to a new place
C. You seldom go outside, afraid of meeting new people.
D. You have a red face when you’re asked to answer a question in class.
43. If you have to practice your spoken English in class, _______ .
A. just do it. B. just refuse to do it
C. you’d better ask someone to help you D. tell your teacher you’re too shy to do that
44.We can infer (推测)from the passage that ________ .
A. kids are all born shy B. you can’t change yourself
C. shy people can also be successful
D. shy people are not good at working with others.
45. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Are You Too Shy? B.Think More For Others.
C Find out What You’re like! D.Once He Was Shy Just like you!
