请选择一个最佳答案。
Passage 1
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 if 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 top soil from being washed away during heavy rains which are so common in the tropics.
If there were no trees or vegetation (植被) 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 (肥沃的) areas, but since our ancestors (祖先) 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.
71.＂Rich top Soil＂ in Line 2, Paragraph 2 means________ and is ________.
A. useless soil … of no use for agriculture
B. soil on the surface of the earth … good for agriculture
C. soil found under the earth … found under the roots of trees
D. dry soil in desert areas … bad for agriculture
72. According to the passage, some desert areas were once________.
A. fertile lands B. very wet
C. very cold D. very dry and useless lands
73.If there were no trees,________.
A. the land would become more fertile
B. heavy rains would clean the tropics
C. the rich top soil couldn’t be held back
D. the balance of nature is unimportant to man
74.From this passage, we know that ________.
A. man can do nothing to keep the balance of nature
B. man may take no notice of the balance of nature
C. man must do his best to keep the balance of nature
D. man must have knowledge of science of nature
75. The best title of this passage is________.
A. The Uses and Importance of Trees
B. The Importance of Top Soil
C. How Are Rich Lands Turned into Deserts
D. Keep the Balance of Nature
Passage 2
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to both questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.
76.Which of the following best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph One?
A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.
B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.
77.In the first paragraph,＂no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence＂suggests that________.
A. the difference in men’s intelligence depends on the amount of their education
B. no environment can change the least able into the most able
C. if a person is born clever, he is certain to be a genius
D. if a person is born stupid, nothing can change him into an educated person
78.It is suggested in this passage that________.
A. close relations usually have similar intelligence
B. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence
C. the closer the blood relationship between two people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence
D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
79.The last paragraph mainly indicates________.
A. the importance of education
B. the relationship between environment and birth
C. the relationship between intelligence and environment
D. the writer’s final conclusion
80.The best title for this passage would be________.
A. Dependence on Environment B. Effect of Education
C. Surroundings D. Intelligence
