16、ant 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 one. In eagerness to make money from trees, men have cut

17、them down in large numbers. And besides, men are 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

18、to sink in-and also bind 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 top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert. Two thousand years

19、 ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build war- ships, 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. 36 What is

20、 the most important service of trees to man according to the passage? （ A） They help him make money. （ B） They give him wood and other products. （ C） They help him prevent droughts and floods. （ D） They give him shade. 37 Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly disappear? （ A） New trees are

21、 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. 38 Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation? （ A） Because an empire was set up. （ B） Because the empire fell t

22、o pieces. （ C） Because it lost all its trees. （ D） Because too much had been spent on wars. 39 Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down? （ A） Because nothing remains on land except floods. （ B） Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil. （ C） Because

23、too much rain sinks in and washes away the top-soil. （ D） Because roots of the trees break up the soil. 40 What does the author tell us in this passage? （ A） How trees help prevent droughts and floods. （ B） The relationship between trees and man. （ C） How an empire fell to pieces in an ancient times

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Each nation has its own peculiar character which distinguishes it from others. But the peoples of the world have more points in common than points in w

25、hich they differ. One type of person that is common in every country is the one who always tries to do as little as possible and to get as much as possible in return. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered in retu

26、rn, is rare everywhere. Both these types are usually unconscious of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talking about his “rights“: he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his share talks of “duties“: he feels that the i

27、ndividual is in debts to society, and not society to individual. As a result, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely. Then man who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses: if he has neglected to do something, it was because he had a headache, or the weather wa

28、s too hot-or too cold-r-or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his stories; but soon they realize what kind of person he is. In the long run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cool towards him and he fai

29、ls to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurt. He blames everyone and everything except himself. He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly treated. 41 The central idea of Paragraph 1 is that _. （ A） each nation is peculiar enough to enable u

30、s to distinguish it from others （ B） the peoples of the world are as like as they are different （ C） the peoples of the world have more similarities than differences （ D） those who do more than is strictly necessary are common in every country 42 According to the passage, which of the following is n

32、t what is offered in return. （ C） Both types of person are always unaware of their character and never think that they behave at all strangely. （ D） The first type of person feels that society is in debt to the individual and that he is being unequally treated. 43 Those who try to do as little as po
