Welcome to the Amazon

The Amazon rainforest covers 2.5 mil-lion square miles. It is the largest remaining tropical forest in the world. It gets more than nine feet of rain every year. The Amazon is in South America.

Almost two-thirds of the rainforest is in Brazil but it also is in parts of Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Suriname, French Guiana, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. The first Europeans to discover the Amazon were Spanish, who found it while searching for gold and silver to bring back to their king.

The first people they met in the rainforest were female warriors, so Francisco de Orella named the river after a Greek myth(神话)about women warriors called "Amazons". Even though the Amazon makes up only two percent of the earth’s surface area, it is where more than half of the world’s plant and animal species are. The Amazon has 60,000 types of p lants, 1,000 species of birds and 300 types of other animals.

Jaguars, piranhas and pink freshwa-ter dolphins are just a few of the animals that live in the Amazon rainforest. Because the Amazon is so large and has so many plants, it helps the world breathe a little easier by changing carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)into oxygen. The Amazon is also home to thousands of undiscovered plants and animals that might be used to cure diseases, like AIDS, one day. Uncon-trolled development and forest fires are hurting the Amazon.

1. According to the passage, about two-thirds of the Amazon rainforest is in _________.

A. Brazil

B. Guyana

C. Ecuador

D. Bolivia

A. it is the largest remaining tropical forest in the world

B. it stretches across many countries

C. the Spanish first met female warriors in the forest and named it after a myth

D. it has many types of plants and animals

4. We should do our best to save the Amazon because _____________.

A. it is a tropical forest

B. it is found by Spanish

C. it makes up two percent of the earth’s surface area

D. it helps the earth change carbon dioxide into oxygen and has many kinds of plants and animals

第三部分写作训练

第一节阅读下文, 回答问题。

Let’s see what Mary’s daily life is like in the countryside.

6:45 Looking east from my bedroom window, I can see clouds change from gray-to-pink-to-orange, ending the rainstorm in beautiful style.

Temperature: 44 degrees on the porch. The air is sweetly humid. The first sound I hear is the San Pedro River. It flows so rarely these days that it’s always noticeable when it does.

7:15 Sunrise. I salute the sun by thumping out my gratitude on a drum, for the start of another beautiful day. This is a personal daily ritual. I’m reaffirming my connection with the rhythms of nature. I’m celebrating the joy of not having neighbors close enough to bother my life. On this Valentine’s Day, I’m chee ring the sun a sit kisses the lips of the mountain tops goodbye before

starting its workday.

8:30 Exercise time. Too rocky and steep to sustain mud, it feels springy to my feet as I start my regular morning walk. Less than 24 hours since the heavy rain stopped, hundreds of wild flowers have already sprung into bloom.

11:00 I begin my 30-mile drive to work at a small rural community college campus, where my shift is from noon to 8 pm. On the way I stop to fortify myself with coffee and a copy of the Daily Star.

My colleagues and I try to figure out how the college can best serve a slow rural economy. The old sources of both lifestyle and employment are on the wane—mining and farming. Ways of life and small town values are being lost. The school offers training in new fields —health occupations, education, small business development and the construction industry.

5:30 Sunset. I take a short break and climb the hill behind the office. Looking down at this little campus, I reflect on the future of this area. I hope that we can find a way toward economic prosperity without giving away what is unique to us —beautiful.

( Note:1. salute v.致礼2. thump out one’s gratitude on a drum用手击鼓来表达某人的感激之情3. I’m cheering the sun as it kisses the lips of the mountaintops good-bye be-fore starting its workday. 我正在为太阳吻别山颠开始它一天的工作而欢呼。4. spring into bloom突然间鲜花盛开5. shift n.工作时间 6. fortify v.增强体力7. on the wane 减弱8. reflect on 思考)

1. What’s the passage mainly about?

_______________________________________________________________________________ 2. What does the school offer ?

_______________________________________________________________________________ 3. Translate the underlined sentences in the last paragraph.

_______________________________________________________________________________ 4.Which sentence(s) in the passage can be replaced by the following sentence?

It’s worth celebrating because I am not disturbed by close neighbours .

第二节书面表达

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you to share the ideas of a survey made in our neighborhood for “Good Neighbors ”.

We notice that more and more pet dogs come into our neighborhood, which makes our neighborhood noisy and dirty . Our suggestion is that we not keep them or at least keep fewer .If permitted, we should try to keep them off the grass.

Another fact is that large deal of rubbish is thrown away here and there. So, great attention should be paid to the environment .Meanwhile, more recycle stations are necessary .

Besides , some families don’t care much about the safety, leaving the windows open . In this case, do be careful with the thieves.

Finally quite a few senior citizens are left alone . Some steps should be taken to take good care of them and make their lives rich and lively.

Best wishes to you,

Yours sincerely

Wang Min
