III 阅读理解

A

When I was young, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs. He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known. He never shouted at us for playing in his yard. I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.

When Dr. Gibbs was happy, he was planting trees. And his life's goal was to make it a forest.

Dr. Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting. He talked about trees that weren't watered would grow deep roots in search of water. So he never watered his trees. He planted an oak (橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree's attention.

Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years. Every now and again, I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago. They're very strong now.

I planted a couple of trees a few years later. I watered them regularly and took good care of them. Whenever a cold wind blows, they shake their leaves and branches.

The funny thing about those trees of Dr. Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.

36. What was Dr. Gibbs' life goal?

 A. To build a forest.  B. To save more lives.

 C. To make a lot of money.        D. To study plants.

37. One of Dr. Gibbs' theories about planting was that ______.

 A. he often talked to the trees         B. he kicked the trees heavily

 C. he never watered the trees       D. he buried the leaves around the roots

38. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

   A. Trees are not as weak as we think.

 B. We should listen to others' advice.

 C. Difficulty is necessary for growth.

 D. Planting trees is good for the environment.

Many people keep the stamps in a drawer at home because they'll never know when they might need them! The trouble is that they have no idea of how many stamps they have left. When they want to send something by post, it's very annoying to find out that they have run out of stamps!

The Internet is possible to solve the problem. The United States Postal Service has come up with a system which allows people to print their own postage stamps at their own home! This is the perfect solution for those people that have busy lives!

Whenever you go to the post office to buy a stamp, you are buying a boring and standard postage stamp. They are red in color, and you can easily buy them on the Internet as well. For example, you can just order a regular 1st class stamp and then print it off using your own printer (打印机).

These days, you can have much more fun with your stamps. You can buy them online instead of going to the post office. You can decorate, preview (预览) and print your stamps all at your own home. You are able to use any of your own photos as part of your postage stamp as well.

These stamps aren't just allowed to be used in the United States; they can be used to send your mail throughout the world. They are perfect to use for many special occasions, such as weddings, festivals and even birthdays! They are fantastic!

39. The problem of keeping stamps at home is that ______.

Scientists say cutting down trees is threatening one of Mexico's most famous insects. Satellite (卫星) pictures show large wooded areas have been cleared from central Mexico. The forests are the winter home for millions of monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶). The butterflies travel there each year to reproduce (繁殖).

Each year, more than two hundred thousand people travel to Mexico to see the butterflies. From November to March, millions of butterflies can be seen in the trees and the sky. Mexican officials hope that by protecting the forests, they can increase the number of visitors.

These satellite pictures show the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. About four hundred forty-five hectares (公顷) have been cleared illegally (非法地) since 2004. Scientists say that, if the clearing continues, monarch butterflies will not use the reserve as their winter home.

For thousands of years, the butterflies have been flying to the same forests. Their trip goes along Canada and the northeastern United States. It is about four thousand eight hundred kilometers. The insects fly about eighty kilometers a day. They reach central Mexico after about sixty days.

No one is sure why the brightly-colored orange and black butterflies choose these forests. However, some scientists believe the area might offer the right wetness and cool weather to keep the insects alive through the winter.

42. If people continue cutting down trees, monarch butterflies ______.

 A. will stop reproducing             B. will not go there in winter

 C. will die out in the next few years D. will be protected by Mexican law

43. From the text, we can learn that the trip of monarch butterflies ______.

 A. started about 100 years ago

 B. is from the United States to Central Mexico

 C. is about two months long       D. is more than five thousand kilometers

 A. How a monarch butterfly grows up. 

 B. Monarch butterflies' winter home is in danger.

 C. The main habitats of monarch butterflies disappeared.

 D. What the Mexican government does to protect butterflies.

But the teen has something bigger than dinner on his mind: He's dreamed of becoming the band's new lead guitarist (吉他手). Tripp thinks he can make the rock band popular again. He soon learns that the band has fallen on hard times over the years. So, the teen invites them to stay at his house.

Dear Betty,

In your e-mail, you said that you wanted to know something about wildlife protection in China. Do you know Bird-loving Week? Bird-loving Week has been held in a week in April or early May since 1982. There are more than 1,300 species of birds in China, some of which are rare. Now more and more people realize that birds are an important part of nature and we need to protect them. Many students also join in the activity and become volunteers. They have public talks about birds, and tell people the importance of bird protection. I know you are a volunteer in a wildlife protection organization. I'd love to share your own experience there.

I'm looking forward to your reply.

                                                                            Yours,

                                                                     Li Hua
