21、For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold dry climates of the ice age, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.

Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. Nowadays, the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year; equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the U. K. each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change? If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.

On the one hand, getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. On the other hand, to study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and planes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rives completely unsampled. So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.

【1】Scientists have been arguing about how the Amazon might have ________ the cold dry climates of the ice age.

A．changed in response to

B．destroyed

C．influenced

D．protected

【2】Rainforests are important for ________ CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming.

A．taking in

B．releasing

C．increasing

D．producing

【3】Nowadays, the CO2 the trees in the Amazon remove equals to the total amount of giving off in ________ each year.

A．the U.S.A.

B．the U.K.

C．England

D．Brazil

【4】Scientists research about how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past so that they may learn in advance about how the rainforests ________.

A．draw down CO2

B．still protect the soil

C．will get smaller

D．will manage in the future

【5】The way to go back to last ice age is to ________.

A．get into the forest

B．drill deep down into lake sediments

C．find some lake mud

D．look at fossilized pollen

【6】We may infer from the last paragraph that ________.

A．it’s possible to enter the Amazon through rivers to get enough information

B．so far, scientists have collected some information from the samples

C．it’s necessary to use helicopters for the research

D．there’s little information to study the past climate

22、Are fables (寓言故事) and fairy tales (童话故事) different or the same? They are both stories for kids, but fables are stories for adults as well.

23、In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why are you travelling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?" they asked.

H. G. Wells could only imagine the travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

Underground systems (体系) are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel", a tunnel connecting England and France, is now completed.

But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.

Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a

good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells's "moon people" would agree. Would you?

【1】The explorers in H. G. Wells's story were surprised to find that the "moon people"

__________________.

【2】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Discovering the moon's inner space.   B. Using the Earth's inner space.

C. Meeting the "moon people" again.   D. Travelling to outer space.

【3】What kind of underground systems are already here with us?

A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.   B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.

C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.   D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.

【4】Which of the following is true?

A. H. G. Wells travelled to the moon in 1901.

B. People today know there are a lot of "moon people" and underground cities.

C. In 1969, human beings landed on the moon.

D. Scientists are seriously thinking about how to use the moon.

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

25、   Most children are introduced to a study of history early in their school life by hearing stories of people who lived in other times and places. They learn that the world has not always been e【1】 as it is today. Later in the elementary grades a more formal study of this subject may include local history, n【2】 history, world history, and contemporary history (现代史) or current events. Most schools in the United States r【3】 pupils to take one year of United States history in grade 7 or 8, and a【4】 year in grade 11 or 12. Other history courses, such as ancient history and English history, are sometimes offered as selective course.

Various m【5】 are used to add to the information given in the regular history books used in a course. Students may increase their knowledge of history by watching filmstrips, picture slides, and films. The class may take a field trip to some historical places, visit a museum or an art gallery, or p【6】 a play that dramatizes (将……搬上舞台) a historical event. Other interesting p【7】 include making collections of coins, stamps, or objects from a particular period or country, making scrapbooks (剪贴簿), and constructing models of buildings or historical scenes. Older children especially enjoy reading historical novels that describe vividly a period in the past.
