These great forests are the oceans of trees. They are full of thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.However, the forests in the world are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world.

The name of the festival comes from the Arabic month in which it is celebrated. Ramadan is celebrated in countries all over the world, especially in Africa and the Middle East. The time for celebrating Ramadan varies each year. People celebrate it in the ninth month of the Arabic lunar calendar. During Ramadan, people must not eat during the day: from when the sun comes up to when the sun goes down, people celebrating Ramadan will not eat or smoke. When the sun has gone down, however, the celebration begins. People often stay up all night eating, singing and dancing.EasterIn late spring, many people around the world celebrate Easter. The festival is a celebration of spring and it is also a religious holiday. It is the time for Easter bunnies and egg hunts, and of course for eating lots of delicious foods. Easter is celebrated in late March or early April but the exact dates are different from year to year. People celebrate Easter in different ways: in some countries, the Easter Bunny-a big rabbit-will visit people and children will go on egg hunts, looking for eggs and candy that have been hidden by their parents. In other countries, Easter is a time for children to dress up like witches and go from door to door asking for candy-much like Halloween in the US. The Easter Bunny and the Easter Egg are popular symbols of the festival.41. The word Ramadan is the name of_.A. a person B. a town C. a month D. a holy book42.

The two main popular symbols of Easter are the _ and the _. A. Easter Man, Easter egg B. Easter Bunny, Easter tree C. Easter Man, Easter tree D. Easter Bunny, Easter egg CIt is natural that children are curious (好奇的) about the world around them. For example, they want to know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty.As children grow up, they become curious about different kinds of things. When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. They become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, the sky. Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career (生涯，职业) in science.Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world. Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the sky. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, eg physics, chemistry.These scientists have already discovered a lot about our world. For example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too. So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty?” Scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.46. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. People are curious in the same way. B. People in different countries are interested in different things.C. Men and women are curious about different things.D. People of different ages are interested in different things.47. Scientists who work with the biological sciences study _.A. the earth, the oceans and the skyB. man-made things C. plants and animalsD. ocean water48. When you run, your muscles need _.A. more nutrition and oxygenB. more signalsC. more saltD. water49. A rock cracks _.A. in wet regionsB. in dry regions C. at very high or very low temperatures D. when salty water falls in 50. People are always curious because _.A. they cannot explain many thingsB. they know nothing about the worldC. they know little about the worldD. they want to be scientists DIn America, when people say “mans best friend”, they dont mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal：A dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to peoples lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die! Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to become the “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf people. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visit”. Americans hold “Be-Kind-to-Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pets shows are held during the week. Even if you dont live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies. If you dont have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, dont kick(踢)it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or beter yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to shop them. As people, we must protect animals who cant speak for themselves.51. “A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!” means that_ A. pets have the right (权力) to inherit (继承) money.
