Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime.She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding of black culture in America. Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community.She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people.She was an expert in the language of poetry.She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience. In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago, where many black people live.In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville.It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945.Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time.The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection. In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen.Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and a mother.She experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor.Ms Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life. Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha.Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published.But now it is considered an important work by some critics.Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today. In some other poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are.One example is this poem, Corners on the Curving Sky. By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks' poetry originated from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville.She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.

Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world.Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world. In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources：land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals.This action affects the environment as a whole.For example, a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) in the air comes from burning the rainforests.People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting down trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this　.Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two.Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world's wood supply. Rainforests are often called the world's drug store.More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests.However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value.It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world's shrinking rainforests. [语篇解读]　热带雨林在人们的生活中起着重要作用， 它们能吸收太阳光来调节地球上的温度， 减少人类得病， 还能提供一些药用的植物为人类治病， 因此， 我们要保护热带雨林， 不要滥垦滥伐。 5．Why can rainforests help to adjust the climate? A．They reflect more heat into the atmosphere. B．They bring about high rainfall throughout the world. C．They rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16℃. D．They reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段中最后一句可知， 热带雨林对世界环境有很大的影响， 因为它们能吸收来自太阳的热量， 调节气候。故选D项。 6．What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to? A．We will lose much more than we can gain. B．Humans have begun destroying rainforests. C．People have a strong desire for resources. D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests. 解析：A　代词指代题。根据前句可知， 人们显然需要我们从砍伐树木中获得的资源， 但我们将遭受比我们将受益更多的痛苦。这意味着： 这样会得不偿失， 故画线词this指代此意， 故选A项。 7．What can be inferred from the text? A．We can get enough resources without rainforests. B．There is great medicine potential in rainforests. C．We will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained land. D．The level of annual rainfall affects wind patterns. 解析：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知， 热带雨林里有很多的药用植物供我们开采利用， 故选B项。 8．What might be the best title for the text?
