单选题 主观题 写作题

How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery.All we really know is that men,unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down.Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words. The power of words,then,lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary（文字的）style. Above all， the real poet is a master of words.He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately,or they will make our speech silly and rude.

1. The origin of language______.

Ais a legend handed down from the past

Bis reflected in sounds and letters

Cdates back to the prehistoric period

Dis a problem not yet solved

In 1542, Francisco de Orellana led the first European voyage down the Amazon River. During this voyage the explorers met a lot of resistance （抵抗）from the local Indians. In one particular tribe the women fighters were so fierce that they drove their male fighters in front of them with spears. Thus the river was named after the famous women fighters of the ancient Greek stories, the Amazons.
This voyage also started our wonder of the greatest river and the largest area of rainforest in the world. About 20% of all fresh water carried to the oceans is from the Amazon River. The Amazon basin is the world's largest, about the size of Europe. The river is a product of the rainy season, which brings huge rains every summer. This also produces a large area of rainforest, which supports the largest number of diverse plants and animals of any area in the world.
The Amazon rainforest is also important when it comes to the future of global warming, as it is a huge natural store of carbon. Up until recently it was thought that the Amazon had fully grown and thus could not take up any more CO2. Experiments have shown this could be wrong and that the Amazon rainforest might be sucking up an additional five tons of CO2 from the atmosphere per hectare （公顷） per year. This is because plants react favorably to increased CO2 ； because it is the raw material for photosynthesis （光合作用）,the more of it the better. So having more CO2 in the atmosphere acts like a fertilizer, stimulating plant growth. Because of the size of the Amazon rainforest, it seems that presently it is taking up a large percentage of our CO2 pollution in the atmosphere, about 75% of the world's car pollution.

2. Why is CO2 compared to a fertilizer in Para. 3?

AThey both absorb light.

BThey both store heat.

CThey both help plants grow.

DThey both cause global warming.

Half of the world's coral reefs（珊瑚礁）have died in the last 30 years. Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive.Even if global warming were to stop right now, scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem，the reefs may be headed for total extinction（灭绝）. (78)The planet's health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They are often described as "the rainforests of the sea",because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life.In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms. Corals are used in medical research for cures to diseases.They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dollars. (79) Corals are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae（水藻）.Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage.In 1998,when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover. Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfishing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists. Scientists remain hopeful that it's not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to accomplish that goal.

3. The corals turn（）in the process of "bleaching".　　

Ared　　

Bblack　　

Cgreen　　

Dwhite

4. The manager_________a rise in salary for ages,but nothing has happened yet.　　

Ais promised　　

B is promising　　

C has been promising　　

Dpromised
