But this resource is facing a problem—the loss of forests. Logging is the main cause of the loss of forests. Logging is the cutting down of trees for their wood. Wood from rainforest trees is used for making furniture. It is also used for making paper. Farming also destroys Indonesia’s rainforests. Many farmers burn forests to clear land for farming. Some farmers use the land to grow crops. Other farmers use the land to keep farm animals. People also cut down the rainforest for mining. Mining is digging into the ground to find minerals, such as copper, gold, tin, coal, and oil. How to solve the problem of the loss of forests? The Indonesian government has already made strict laws against cutting down rainforest trees. Another way to solve the problem is to plant new trees. These new trees are planted where the forest has been cut down. Conservation (保护) is also a way to help save Indonesia’s rainforests. If rainforests are looked after, their resources could last forever. So save them together from now on! 31. What does “logging” mean in the passage? A. Growing crops. B. Burning trees. C. Making furniture. D. Cutting down trees. 32. What doesn’t make the rainforests become fewer and fewer? A. Logging. B. Farming. C. Mining. D. Planting new trees. 33. How many ways does the passage mention to solve the problem in Indonesia? A. Two. B. Three. C. four. D. Five. 34. Where should the new trees be planted according to the passage? A. Where the forest has been cut down. B. On Indian mountains. C. On the farms. D. On Indonesian mountains. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Saving the rainforests in Indonesia B. The problems in Indonesia C. Making laws to protect rainforests in Indonesia D. The loss of rainforests in Indonesia B The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don’t forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don’t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions. ◆ Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says “Hi! I’m Carlos,” don’t just say “Hello.” Repeat the person’s name. Say “________”. ◆ Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it’s hard to memorize (记忆) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts—109/244/153—it becomes easier. ◆ Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts. ◆ Always review information. If you bring what you’ve learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day. ◆ Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what’s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer. ◆ Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone’s memory gets better if they use it often enough. All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory. 36. How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 37. Which should be put in the blank (空格) in Paragraph 2? A. Hello, Carlos. B. How do you do? C. Hello, I’am Sophia. D. Glad to meet you! 38. What can help memorize a big number more easily according to the passage? A. To store it in a computer. B. To break it into smaller parts. C. To discuss it with a friend. D. To review it before you sleep. 39. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Discussing with friends can help you remember things. B. Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep. C. Formulas and facts can help you learn about your brain. D. Human beings can improve their memory by computer. 40. What does the underlined sentence “Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory.” mean? A. You should tell others about your bad memory. B. You should believe in other people all the time. C. You should ask others to improve their memory. D. You should have confident in your memory ability. C Alexander Scott, who lived in Pennsylvania, is regarded as a hero because she thought of others before herself. Alex’s goal was to find a cure for people with cancer. Alexander Scott was four years old when she started her own lemonade stand. While she was too weak to fight it off, she was still strong inside. Alex raised thousands of dollars for cancer research. Alex was born in 1996. When Alex was just a baby, they found a tumor on her back and then they removed it. Two days before Alexander Scott’s first birthday, she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a form of childhood cancer. Alex has tried so hard to fight her cancer. When Alex was four years old, she was trying to find a cure to help others. That’s when Alex had the idea to start her own lemonade stand. She opened her first lemonade stand in July of 2000. In her first year she raised $2,000. As word spread Alex started to get more and more donations from people. Alexander Scott has raised more than $900,000 for pediatric cancer. Alexander is a hero to others near and far. While Alex was trying to fight off cancer, she raised over $700,000. Her goal was $1,000,000 for cancer. Most of it was from people that donated money to help find a cure for cancer. Another reason is that when people saw Alex started to have a lemonade stand to help others. They started to do the same thing. Today there are about 200 lemonade stands held to raise money for cancer. After Alex met her goal, she’s probably going to save a lot of children and adults’ lives. That’s why people keep going on with her goal. Maybe we can meet her goal by donating money and helping others so you can find a cure for cancer. If you want to help Alex Scott you can click her own web site www. alexslemonade. com. There are a lot of pictures, and facts about Alex Scott. Sad but true Alex died on August 1, 2004 from neuroblastoma cancer when she was 8 years old. 41. Alexander Scott was regarded as a hero _______.
