13、ng Comprehensio(总题数：4，分数：40.00)Trees are useful to man in three important 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 mo

14、st important. In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear. This does not only mean that

15、 man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soilallowing the rain to sink inand 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

16、 floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships(战船), with which to gain itself an empire. It set up the empire but,- without its trees, its soil b

17、ecame poor and it grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.They help him make money.B.They give him wood and other products.C.They hel

18、p him prevent droughts and floods.D.They give him shade.(2).Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly disappear?（分数：2.00）A.New trees are not looked after properly.B.Many trees have been cut down by manC.Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees.D.All of the above.(3).Why did the cou

19、ntry mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?（分数：2.00）A.Because an empire was set up.B.Because the empire fell to pieces.C.Because it lost its trees.D.Because too much had been spent on wars.(4).Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down?（分数：2.00）A.Because nothing re

20、mains on land except floods.B.Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.C.Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the top-soil.D.Because roots of the trees break up the soil.(5).What does the author tell us in this passage?（分数：2.00）A.How trees help prevent dr

21、oughts and floods.B.The relationship between trees and man.C.How an empire fell to pieces in ancient times.D.A story of trees.In everyday usage “hot“ means “having a lot of heat“. Many people think that “cold“ is something completely separated from heat. But this is not true. Cold simple means “ hav

22、ing very little heat“. Your life depends on heat. In fact, every living thing depends on it. Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible. Since before the dawn of history, man has be

23、en able to make his own heat. He has been able to release the sun s heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal and oil. And he has been able to use this heat. Heat has made civilization possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a r

24、esult, engines were invented. These are machines that change heat energy into mechanical energy. Engines can do the work of many men. Without engines industrial civilization is impossible. Yet when the first engines were built in the 17th century, men were, still wondering about the nature of heat.

25、What is it?“ they asked. Not until the early years of the 19th century did they find the right answer.（分数：10.00）(1).In everyday usage, “hot“ means_.（分数：2.00）A.the weather is fine and it is summerB.one has a temperatureC.having a great deal of heatD.very little heat(2).The sentence(Para. 1)“Your lif

26、e depends on heat. “ means_.（分数：2.00）A.in the cold season human beings will dieB.one usually builds his life on fireC.the more heat one has, the betterD.it is impossible for man to live without heat(3).From the underlined sentence in paragraph 2, we know that_.（分数：2.00）A.man can get heat from things

27、 like wood, coal and oilB.man can not get the heat directly from the sunC.only wood, coal and oil have heatD.all the sun s heat is trapped in things(4).Which of the following is true?（分数：2.00）A.Without engines civilization is impossible.B.Without engines we have no industrial civilization.C.Engines

28、came before civilization.D.Engines came before man knew how to use heat.(5).From the last two sentences, we can see_.（分数：2.00）A.men have never found the nature of heatB.men found the nature of heat in the 17 th centuryC.men found the nature of heat in the 19 th centuryD.men found the nature of heat

29、before the 19th centuryMoney is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. However, in primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place t

30、hat he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, salt, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals

31、gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value. A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears lettering, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centur

32、ies, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face valuethe value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn t show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, plastic and in China

33、even from tea leaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really “ promises to pay“. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world w

34、here “money“ in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially tilling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.（分数：10.00）(1).“ Barter“(Paragraph 1)here means _.（分数：2.00）A.exchanging goods for moneyB.exchangin

35、g goods for goodsC.exchanging a sheep for anything in the marketD.exchanging money for goods(2).Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?（分数：2.00）A.Because they were durable and portable.B.Because they were recognizable.C.Because they were divisible.D.All of the above(3).Coins were g

36、iven value according to the exact amount of metal contained in them_.（分数：2.00）A.before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB.after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC.during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD.between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries(4).“Promises to pay“(Paragrap

37、h 2)means_.（分数：2.00）A.possibilities to payB.necessities to payC.obligations to payD.opportunities to pay(5).A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is_.（分数：2.00）A.suitableB.possibleC.necessaryD.avoidableIt s no great surprise that Bill Gates has decided to walk away from his day-to-

38、day involvement with Microsoft, and use his full attention to oversee how the Bill Gates Foundation spends its $ 16 billion on philanthropy, or charity. But Gates is not the first one to follow the path. Ever since the industrial revolution, wealthy self-made businessmen and businesswomen have felt

39、a calling to create a legacy that goes beyond a profit and loss sheet. The saying “ He who dies rich, dies disgraced“ runs deeply through the business community. But out of all the great philanthropists, Mr. Gates career path appears to be closest to the oil millionaire John Rockefeller. Both were s

40、elf-made men and both became the richest men on the planet. Rockefeller was in his late fifties when he turned his attention full time to philanthropy creating vast charitable foundations to promote health and education. Now Gates says he will do the same in his early fifties. “ With great wealth co

41、mes great responsibility,“ he adds. Like Gates, many philanthropists do not want to pass on too much wealth to their children. They want them to be comfortable, with a nice house and some money in trust for their grandchildren. But they don t want to leave them millions and millions because they kno

42、w how important it is for them to make their own way. In Britain, for instance, the newspaper s rich lists are increasingly dominated by self-made millionaires, rather than inherited wealth. New money is less likely to be tied up in assets, making it ripe for philanthropy. The appearance of the welf

43、are state also had a great impact on attitudes to philanthropy. The state was saying it would take over much of the role of what was once regarded as the responsibility of private philanthropists.（分数：10.00）(1).Bill Gates has done all the following EXCEPT_.（分数：2.00）A.abandoning his career with Micros

44、ofts daily businessB.devoting the rest of his life to philanthropic causesC.leaving his children enough money for a comfortable lifeD.defying John Rockefeller in creating charitable foundations(2).The saying “He who dies rich, dies disgraced“(Para. 1)probably means that_.（分数：2.00）A.the wealthy peopl

45、e should give away their fortunes after deathB.the wealthy people should feel ashamed for their assetsC.the wealthy people should abandon their careers for charitiesD.it is shameful for the wealthy people to keep their wealth till death(3).Gates and Rockefeller are similar in that_.（分数：2.00）A.both o

46、f them inherited their wealthB.their career paths are exactly the sameC.both decided to devote to charity in their fiftiesD.both made their fortunes in the same way(4).Many wealthy people dont want to leave too much behind mainly because_.（分数：2.00）A.it is not easy for them to make their fortunesB.th

47、ey want their children to make their own wayC.they just wish their children to have a comfortable lifeD.they hope to gain reputation by donating their wealth(5).The chief reason why philanthropy has come into a good stage is that_.（分数：2.00）A.the new money is less likely to be regarded as one s priva

48、te wealthB.Gates will devote his full attention to philanthropyC.the welfare state would take over all the charity responsibilitiesD.many new millionaires are self-made rather than inherited三、Cloze(总题数：1，分数：30.00)Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered t
