Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for__25__to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with ; and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can__26__the people, the forests will slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that the villagers’ sons and grandsons have__27__trees. The results are even more serious; for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up—allowing the rain to sink in—and also bind(結(jié)合)the soil, thus preventing its__28__washed away easily, but where there are no trees ,the rain falls on hard ground and carrying__29__with it the rich top soil, in which crops__30__so well.

Ⅲ 閱讀(共兩節(jié)。滿分40分)
閱讀理解(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word cold. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someone’s life meant nothing. Cold can affect other parts of the body. The feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression -- to get cold feet -- that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.
The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
41. The passage is intended to tell us that______.
A. cold weather has a great effect on human bodies
B. many English expressions contain the word cold
C. cold is a word closely linked with human emotions
D. the word cold has many different meanings in English
42. The underlined word brutal in paragraph 1 most probably means _______.
A. impolite      B. illegal      C. cruel          D. extreme
43. Which of the following expressions can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?
A. Cold-blooded.                 B. To get cold feet.
C. A cold shoulder.                D. A cold fish.
44. You can say Tom ______ if the teacher gives all the boys except him a pen as a prize.
A. is given the cold shoulder
B. is left out in the cold
C. has got cold feet
D. is murdered by a cold-blooded killer
45. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ______.
A. all the expressions containing the word cold have a negative meaning
B. all the expressions containing the word cold have something to do with cold
C. People who show no human emotions or feelings have cold blood
D. Many parts of the human body can be badly affected by cold.

E
One reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation(砍伐森林) is a blank stare that asks the question, "Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?"
The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests.
Biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks ,disappears. As many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things) live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is immeasurable.
Take rubber for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.
Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect -- or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late.
Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.
58.The underlined word "synthetics" probably means a kind of _________.
A.natural rubber   B.tropical material   C.man-made material   D.tropical tree
59.In the last paragraph the author tries to__________.
A.tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation
B.show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests
C.persuade people to buy something synthetic
D.let people realize the effect of tropical deforestation
60.The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is____________.
A.puzzling        B.cold        C.supporting       D.opposed

C
Sometimes we cry because we are sad and sometimes because we are extremely happy.An irritant(刺激物),such as onion(洋蔥) smell or grains of sand in the eye,can also make cry.In this case tears perform an obvious role in getting rid of substances that might harm the surface of the eye.
Dr.William Frey of the Dry Eye and Tear Research Center at St.Paul in Minnesota,USA,believes that tears from emotional causes may perform a similar role.He thinks that crying could get rid of emotional stress by washing away a chemical in the blood caused by strong emotions. To prove his theory, he hopes first to identify this chemical and then see if it is found in tears of sadness or happiness.  
So far, Dr.Frey has failed to find out the difference between emotional tears and tears caused by an irritant in the eye.This may be because these substances themselves cause a degree of stress and emotion.What he has identified in all tears is a variety of biochemicals(生化物)which are one of the causes of stress.A more detailed study may help us understand why sufferers from stress-related disorders cry less often than healthy people.Dr.Frey is also very interested to see if there are any physiological(生理學(xué)的)explanations for why women,in general,cry five times more often than men,on average.
64. The main purpose of Dr.Frey’s study of tears is to           
A. show that there are two types of tears,caused by irritants and by emotions
B. find out the cause of stress-related problems and emotional disorders
C. explain why women cry more often than men
D. prove that tears can remove a chemical in the blood caused by strong emotions
65. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Tears fail to help get rid of emotional stress.
B. Irritants in the eye result in tears without causing stress and emotion.   
C. Healthy people cry more often than those with stress-related problems.
D. The biochemical identified by Dr.Frey has nothing to do with stress.
66. We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. crying does us more harm than good
B. inner feelings don’t affect our bodies
C. sorrow may cause some chemicals in our blood
D. emotional tears are different from tears caused by irritants in the eye
67. Dr.Frey believes that tears from emotional causes may play a role in getting rid of ______.
A. emotional stress by washing away a chemical in the blood
B. onion smell or grains of sand
C. sufferings from irritants
D. substances that might not harm the surface of the eye

Not even Dan Brown and his Da Vinci code—breakers(密碼破譯者)dared deal with the mystery of Mona Lisa,s smile.But Nicu Sebe,a computer expert the University of Amsterdam,the Netherlands,did.He used’emotion recognition’software to process the famous painting and found Mona Lisa happy(83 per cent)and slightly disgusted(厭煩的)(9 per cent).
Faces show emotions. Psychology,computer science,and engineering researchers are joining forces to teach machines to read expressions.If they succeed,your computer may one day“read”your mood.Machines equipped with emotional skills could also be used in teaching,gaming,mind-reading,etc.
“Mind Reader”,a system developed by Rosalind Picard at MIT(the Massachusetts Institute of Tech’nology)in the US, uses input from a video camera to do real—time analysis of facial expressions. It reports on whether you seem“interested”or“agreeable”or if you’re“confused”.The system can help people recognize others’emotions.Picard says this means we could teach a machine to be as sensitive as a human.In fact,a machine can be even smarter than people since it can tell if a person is lying or just“performing”by analyzing one’s facial movements.
Jeffrey Cohn,a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh,uses the Facial Action Coding System to recognize human emotions.The system sorts more than 40 action units(AUs)of the face to tell people’s real emotions.He studied a videotape of a criminal who said to be sad about the murder of several family members and tried to pin the blame on someone else.But Cohn saw no real sadness in the woman’s face.
Sadness is a group of AUs that is difficult to do at the same time.You have to pull down the woman’s of your lips while bringing your eyebrows together and raising them.What the woman did was raise her cheeks to make a lip cud(撇嘴)。Her brows stayed smooth.
64.The best title of this passage is“ ________ ”.
A.The emotion on your face                    B.Look at your face
C.Your face tells a story                          D.Telling a lie
65.The missing sentence“This means,even though your mouth lice,your face doesn’t,and the machine will know it all. ”should be put at the end of ___________.
A.Paragraph 2   B.Paragraph 3      C.Paragraph 4     D.Paragraph 5
66.How many facial emotion analyses are mentioned in this passage?
A.Four.               B.Three.              C.Two.         D.One
67.The underlined word“it”refers to________.
A.MIT                                 B.the video camera
C.one’s face emotion            D.the real—time analysis

  When did you last see a polar bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
  Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循環(huán)系統(tǒng)) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
  The main benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."
51. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____ .
 A. they should be easy to make friends with
 B. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months
 C. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February
 D. they must reach the age of 60
52. Doctors _____ .
 A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively
 B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming
 C. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summer
 D. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming
53. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _____ .
 A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue
 B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter
 C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high
 D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water
54. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _____ .
 A. they can remain young   B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter
 C. they find it enjoyable and interesting D. they might meet fewer troubles in life
55. The passage is mainly about _____ .
a group of cold-water swimming lovers                  B. the polar bears' life  
 C. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming            D. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club
