More than 10% of all plants and animals will disappear from the earth. It is too late to save many plants and animals ❺because_of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere. But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now, we can save many more plants and animals from disappearing.‎ The scientists studied some areas of the world with very rich biology. These areas were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa. Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had ❻a_better_chance_of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler. In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move very long distances to get cooler, so they are ❼in_great_danger_of dying out. The scientists found many ❽surprising things.

And the invasions (入侵) could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.‎ Since the start of last spring, the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms, of which, a dozen came from foreign land.‎ Situated in the centralAsia sandstorm region, one of the world's four largest sandstorm sources, China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia. The other three major sources are in Africa, North America and Australia.‎ The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7,585 square kilometres annually in China, and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.‎ The shrinkage (收缩) forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 square kilometres and 3,436 square kilometres late last century, respectively.‎ Currently, the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million square kilometres, accounting for 27.46 percent of the nation's land, and its sandy land totals 1.74 million square kilometres, accounting for 18.1 percent of the country's total. ‎ 语篇解读：近年来中国遭受严重的风沙袭击，而中国也被认为是风沙的来源之一，经过一番努力中国在治沙方面取得了显著的成效。‎ ‎1．What does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in Paragraph 4?‎ A．Going down.　　　　　 B．Going up.‎ C．Coming from. D．Taking up.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据第四段最后的“has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year”可知，该词的意思是“减少”，故选A项。‎ ‎2．Where do most of the sandstorms in China come from?‎ A．The northwestern Chinese regions.‎ B．The northern Chinese regions.‎ C．The western part of China.‎ D．Foreign countries.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，去年袭击中国的沙尘暴大部分来自外国，故选D项。‎ ‎3．Which of the following is believed to be the sand source to northeast Asia?‎ A．Mongolia. B．Africa.‎ C．China. D．Australia.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段“China also suffers from sandstorms ... sand source to northeast Asia”可知中国被认为是东北亚风沙的来源地，故选C项。‎ ‎4．What can we infer from this passage?‎ A．The land in China suffering from desertification has been increasing greatly.‎ B．China has made achievements in its own desertification control.‎ C．The desertification land makes up nearly half of China's territory.‎ D．Little progress has been made in controlling desertification in China.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第四段提到“The land suffering from ... falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.”遭受风沙袭击的土地每年减少7 585平方千米，沙地的区域每年减少1 284平方千米，可推知控制沙漠化取得了成效，故选B项。‎ B In the state of Maryland, a girl was born into slavery in 1820. Her parents named her Araminta Harriet Ross. She was to become Harriet Tubman. She was one of about one million Africans in slavery in the United States.‎ From the age of five, Harriet Tubman's owners made her work very hard. First, she cared for the child of the farm owner. Then, she did hard work on large farms.‎ Although she could not read or write, Tubman learned from her parents to do what was right. Through her whole life, Tubman put herself in danger to help other people.‎ One such act changed her life when she was 13 years old. Because she helped another slave, her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head. She was badly hurt. For the rest of her life, Tubman's head ‎ wound caused problems for her.‎ When she was about 25 years old, Harriet married a free black man named John Tubman. But she was still a slave. Her life was so difficult that she decided to escape. She travelled for 145 kilometres, and finally crossed into the North. Tubman became a free woman.‎ But Tubman could not leave her family enslaved in the South. So she travelled back to help them escape as well. Then, she made many trips and guided about 300 slaves to freedom. Tubman also fought bravely in the American Civil War and in 1865 slavery was not allowed in the US.‎ Harriet Tubman died in 1913.Her memory brings hope to many people — especially to those who fight for justice. She encouraged people to never give up.‎ ‎“If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了美国杰出的黑人废奴主义运动家哈莉特·塔布曼的事迹。‎ ‎5．What do we know about Harriet Tubman?‎ A．She was born a slave.‎ B．She was born in Africa.‎ C．She was taken to the US by a slave trader.‎ D．She was sold to a farm owner when she was born.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“a girl was born into slavery”可知，哈莉特·塔布曼出生于奴隶家庭，也就意味着她一出生就是奴隶。‎ ‎6．When she was 13 years old, Tubman ________.‎ A．planned to run away B．helped a slave escape C．fought bravely against her owner D．was seriously wounded in her head 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“when she was 13 years old”和“her owner threw a piece of metal at her and it hit her on the head. She was badly hurt”可知，塔布曼在13岁的时候，头部受到重创。‎ ‎7．We can infer from the text that Tubman was ________.‎ A．honest and friendly B．strong and helpful C．lucky and careful D．clever and polite 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据文中对塔布曼事迹的描述可知，作为奴隶的她受到非人的折磨，但她却凭借自己顽强的意志成功摆脱奴隶的身份，并且多次帮助其他奴隶获得了自由。由此可知，B项正确。‎ ‎8．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A．Africans' Fight for Freedom B．Harriet Tubman: From Slave to Hero C．The History of Slavery in the United States D．The American Civil War: The North Against the South 解析：选B　标题归纳题。哈莉特·塔布曼出身奴隶，但她渴望自由，最终逃到美国北方，获得新生。不仅如此，她还帮助无数黑奴奔向自由，成为一名英雄。故B项为最佳标题。‎
