Unfortunately, man has not realized that the third of th

2、ese services is the most important. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the homecountry found itself

3、faced by flood and starvation. Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this. The villagers want wood to cook their food with; and they can earn money by selling wood. They are usually too lazy to plant and l

4、ook after the trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear. This does not only mean that the villagers children and grandchildren will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are trees their r

5、oots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink inand also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing flood. （分数：1.00）(1).What is the most important function of trees?（分数：0.20）A.Pro

Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a h

9、igher chance of dropping out (退学). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. “When children work on a project“, says Lillian Kate, an educationa

10、l professor at the University of Illinois, “they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions. These skills cant be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but dont have any social skills. Relationships should be the first

11、R.“ At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world. Just as a 1-year-old struggling to walk, a 6-year-old is struggling to meet adults ex

12、pectations. “Young kids dont know how to distinguish between effort and ability.“ says Professor Hill, an early-childhood educator for the state of New Jersey, “If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task. The effects of o

13、bvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious“, says Hills, “a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation“. （分数：1.00）(1).The author seems to think that a kids poor relationship with his classmates would_.（分数：0.20）A.have negative effects on his studyB.d

It has been argued that the supply of good land is l

18、imited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worded intensively. Thus , each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope fo

19、r specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth

20、 vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of governmen

21、t to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing de

22、clines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline. （分数：1.00）(1).A smaller population may mean_.（分数：0.20

They may ask someone else 【B15】 the information,

46、 【B16】 they may try to 【B17】 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 【B18】 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 【B19】 , but this is not always t he 【B20】. （分数：1.00）A.onB.forC.inD.ofA.thatB.suchC.thanD.soA.averageB.normalC.expectedD.unusualA.being asked
