It covers a huge area in North Africa and influences the life of local people a lot. The local people living in the Sahara are called Bedouin. They are a group of desert people who never stay in one place for long. They move from place to place all year round, carrying all their daily things they need to live. Bedouin mainly depend on goats, sheep and camels for living. Camels are their most important transport tools, and they also get milk and meat from goats and sheep. For them, water is the most valuable thing in the desert. They need water every day to keep alive, so they have to carry enough water when moving, or remember every place with underground water. Without enough water, no one can live in the desert for long. Many people think a desert is just a place full of sand. In fact, a place is defined as a desert not by sand, but by the amount of rain. A real desert must get less than 250 millimetres of rain every year. Surprisingly, only 25 percent of the Sahara is covered with sand. The rest of the area is all rock, stones and gravel. Long long ago, the Sahara was not a desert at all. It was covered with thick ice first, and then slowly turned into green grasslands. As the climate changed little by little, it became the dry and huge desert we see today. The Sahara is not only a large desert, but also a place full of history and great natural changes. 24. Who is this passage mainly written for? A. Professional scientists studying deserts B. Middle school students learning geography C. Travellers planning to visit the desert 25. Which fact about Bedouin is correct? A. The name means people who love sand B. They drive cars to travel in the desert C. Water is the most important for their life 26. What is the standard to define a desert? A. Less than 250 mm rain every year B. Very hot and dry all four seasons C. More than 25% land is sand 27. What is the main idea of the whole passage? A. Basic facts and history about the Sahara B. The living habits of Bedouin people C. The climate change of the desert C 雨林植物药用价值长篇阅读 If you walk into a South American rainforest village, you may see something special. A young boy is crying because of a bad earache. Then an old man walks out of the forest. He carries some natural juice from a kind of white fungus. He puts the juice carefully into the boy’s ear, and slowly the boy stops crying and feels much better. This is a common way to treat illness in rainforest villages. Local rainforest doctors are called shamans. They know all kinds of useful plants in the jungle and use them as natural medicines. They make special tea from red vines to cure stomachaches. They use yellow wild flowers to treat snakebites. Many small illnesses can be cured only by these forest plants without modern medicine. Nowadays, more and more scientists from all over the world want to learn from the shamans. They want to collect plant resources and study their medical value. However, the rainforests are disappearing at a very fast speed. People cut down lots of trees to grow crops for farming, or sell the wood for money. If this continues, many useful rainforest plants will disappear forever. To protect the rainforest, scientists travel by boat, plane and even on foot to reach remote rainforest villages. They spend long hours walking through hot and humid jungles together with local shamans. The shamans show them which plants can be used to treat different illnesses. ▲ An American medicine company has already made a new kind of medicine from a rainforest plant. This new medicine may help cure lung infections for young kids in the future. In fact, many serious illnesses may find their cures in rainforest plants. So more medicine companies start to work together to protect the rainforest. When people buy medicine made from rainforest plants, part of the money will be used to protect the jungle. If the rainforest can be well protected, more new medicines will be found to help sick people all over the world. 28. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a real-life story B. By raising a strange question C. By listing different facts 29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Many rainforest plants can be used as medicine B. The rainforest is disappearing very fast C. Shamans are famous all over the world 30. Which sentence can be put in the blank ▲? A. The introduction of a medicine company B. The importance of protecting rainforests C. How to invent new medicine by ourselves 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Little Boy’s Special Treatment B. The Life of Rainforest Shamans C. Rainforest Plants: Nature’s Hidden Medicine 第二节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分） 阅读短文，从A-E五个选项中选出最佳选项填入空白处，有一项多余。 Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber.
