Their main enemy is the sea. A large part of the country is below sea level. In fact, H
14、olland is also called the “Netherlands“ which means “low land“. Very tall and strong walls, called dykes, have built to keep out the sea. But in very rough weather the sea may suddenly burst through a dyke. Great damage can be caused by floods when this happens.Three large rivers are also part of th
15、e problem. These rivers are the Rhine, the Maas and the Scheldt. They flow through Holland into the North Sea. They have cut many passages across the country. At low tides, the rivers flow into the sea as usual. But at high tide, the sea can flow into the rivers! This is because the land is so low.T
16、he battles against the water never end, but they have made Holland a bigger and bigger country. In order to prevent floods, the engineers take, or reclaim land that was under water. The Dutch have been reclaiming land for seven hundred years.Land is usually reclaimed from a passage between islands.
17、Two dykes are built across the passage, so they block the water between them. Then the engineers dig long canals and pump the water into them. At low tide, the canals empty the water into the sea.Because the land is so low, water from the sea and rivers can rise up through the ground. For this reaso
18、n, the pumps continue working even the land has been drained(that is, when the water has been pumped away). The dykes contain gates, and through these the water is pumped out. In many parts of Holland, pumps must be working all the time. If they stopped, there will be very bad floods.A piece of recl
19、aimed land is called polder, and Holland has thousands of polders. Some are very large, but others are quite small. There are farms on many of the polders. Corn and other crops grow well on the drained land, and it gives good grass for cattle. Many small towns and villages stand on polders. Even Ams
20、terdams great airport, Schiphol, was built on reclaimed land. This land used to be under the old Lake Haarlem.31 Water is the main threat to Holland because_.（A）the sea is too rough（B） the land is lower than the sea（C） the high and strong dykes can not keep the floods out（D）the weather is too rough3
21、2 “Netherlands“ means_.（A）high land（B） land of water（C） low land（D）land of dykes33 Holland is threatened not only by the sea, but also by_.（A）the floods from broken dykes（B） the three rivers（C） the sea tides（D）many passages the three rivers have cut across the country 34 The Holland claims land from
22、 the sea in order to_.（A）prevent floods（B） make their country larger（C） make their country more beautiful（D）have more farmland34 Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will
23、 be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great s
24、uffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than
25、 before, but we cant ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline, which is a non-renewable resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution,
26、 which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that cant be so effective if its taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and po
27、sitively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to great extent.35 According to the writer, the main problem to our environment today is_.（A）the increase of population（B） the limited energy resources（C） the more serious air pollution（D）the development o

29、ection37 The authors main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to_.（A）complain about peoples slow actions to protect the environment（B） advise people to take actions to protect the environment（C） show himself to be an active environment protector（D）point out the bad effects of technologi
30、es in protecting environment38 The passage is mainly about _.（A）energy resources saving（B） environmental protection（C） population control（D）air pollution38 Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous.

31、n your seat belt when youre in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard(滑板)and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg wont. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the ska
32、teboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg wont go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard.Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1949. Air bags are also very important for car safety because sometimes a seat belt isnt enough. If the car is going really fa
33、st and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its airbags will come out quickly in less than one secondto keep the people inside safe.39 We have to be careful in driving a ca
