A
Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.
Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, 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 worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil---make the rain in---and also bind the soil, thus stopping 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 top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.
1. The most important point of trees to man is that ________.
A. they give him wood and other things.
B. they help him to make money
C. they give him cool
D. they help him to stop drought and floods
2. In many places forests slowly disappear because ________ .
A. many trees have been cut down by man
B. new trees are not well looked after
C. man has not paid enough attention to planting trees
D. all the above
3. Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________ .
A. roots of trees break up the soil
B. there are too many rainfalls
C. strong winds bring a lot of sand
D. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.
4. Which title best fits the passage?
A. Trees and Man
B. The Function of Tree Wood
C. How do People do with Trees?
D. The Usage of Tree Roots
B
A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle (交通工具), but for many Londoners, cycling is a way of life. According to an official UK government survey in 2017, about 570,000 bike journeys are made every day in London. In fact, almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes.
London introduced a public bike-sharing system in 2010. “There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have chan ged the way people get around our great city,” Johnson told the Guardian in 2015.
In London, bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. No matter where you want to go in the city, taking a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice.
And it’s not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK, the UK government’s Cycle to Work scheme (骑行倡议) allows employees to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax (税). T his means that it’s common to see many people cycling to and from work, and some employers even provide workplace showers and lockers (储物柜) for their workers. More importantly, a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you rode a bike to work. Not only is it great for the environment and our body, cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic Magazine, “Bike riding can improve people’s happiness.”
5. How does the author show the popularity of cycling in London?
A. By making comparisons (做比较).
B. By using numbers.
C. By giving examples。
D. By using famous sayings.
6. What’s Johnson’s attitude toward the bike-sharing system in London?
A. Supportive.
B. Doubtful.
C. Disappointed.
D. Uninterested.
7. What can employees get from the government under the “Cycle to Work” scheme?
A. Free bike-sharing services.
B. A tax-free bike.
C. Shorter working hours.
D. Workplace showers and lockers.
8. What’s does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean?
A. 不惩罚
B. 解雇
C. 请假
D. 释放
C
Last Sunday, my whole family went to the amusement park near our hometown, as we planned the day before, on my brother’s 13th birthday. David was two years older than I.
The weather was pe rfect and everyone was happy. The park was not too crowded. “Fioda,” said my brother, “do you want to go on that ride with me?” “Of course,” I said. The ride was brand new. I saw commercials(广告) for this huge roller coaster(过山车）on television. I was so excited to ride it. As we got in line, we talked excitedly about what we might experience. We decided that we would both try to keep our hands in the air the whole time. We believed that would make it even more enjoyable. I was so busy talking to my brother that I missed the most important sign----Empty your pockets before going on the ride. Something bad happened!
The ride started. It was a really fast roller! Before I knew it, we were upside down. I felt my phone slipping （滑落）from my pocket. My hands were in the air, just as we had promised, and I didn’t catch my phone in time. It hit me on the head, fell down to the ground and broke. My parents said I wouldn’t have a new phone until I had enough money to pay for it. I need to be more careful. Next time, I’ll pay better attention the warning signs as we wait in line for the ride.

A. Was 13 years old
B. Was invited to town
C. Went to an amusement park
D. Prepared for David’s birthday party

D. her brother
11. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

B. To empty our pockets.
C. To talk excitedly.
D. To miss the sign
