Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语,完成短文)
1.We have always been warned of the dangers of the forest fires. They cause     1   to a forest. They kill many plants and animals in an eco-system, which is a group of living things and their environment. But have you ever heard of a forest fire that can be     2    for a forest?
2.People start some of the fires with special reasons to actually do well to the eco-system.
3.In fact, fires are a natural part of any eco-system. Without fires, the oldest and largest trees would stop sunlight from reaching the forest floor. Fires can       3      some of these old trees. When the trees die, they provide something good for the earth. New trees can grow strong and healthy in their place.
4.Some trees even need fires to grow. These trees hold their seeds(种子) inside. Heats from a fire allow the coat of the seeds to open up. Then the seeds fall to the ground and have the 4 to grow.
5.Scientists, who know about nature’s needs, start some of these fires, called controlled burns. A fire is started and kept under control. This way, the fire does not spread out of the area or 5   a large space of the forest. Fires can be dangerous for animals. Even when animals continue to live after forest fires, they can go hungry   6    their food has been damaged in the fire. Small, controlled fires mean that animals will not have to move far to find food. After some time, small plants begin to grow. Animals return soon after the plants return. This   7 makes an eco-system.
6.So the next time you hear about a forest fire, think about the good as well as the bad. It may take a new eco-system a while to return, but it will likely come back stronger and healthier than ever.

小题1:They cause      to a forest. They kill many plants and animals in an eco-system.因为森林火灾杀死生态系统中的许许多多动物和植物,所以他们会引起毁灭性破坏。答案是cause damage。
小题2:But have you ever heard of a forest fire that can be     for a forest? People start some of the fires with a special reasons to actually do good to the eco-system.第一段讲森林火灾的危害,然后用but表示转折,另外第二段讲述do good to the eco-system森林火灾对生态系统带来的好处,所以选helpful有帮助的。
小题3:Without fires, the oldest and largest trees would stop sunlight from reaching the forest floor. Fires can       some of these old trees. When the trees die, they provide something good for the earth.第三段讲述了“没有林火,那么古老而高大的树会阻挡阳光,而林火恰恰能减少或者说弄掉这样的一些树,后面有讲这些树死了之后能为土壤提供营养。所以答案选get rid of除掉、摆脱
小题4:Then the seeds fall to the ground and have the   to grow. 第四段讲述了“有些树需要林火的帮助而生长,种子在火的热量的作用下破壳而出,然后这些种子才有生长的机会”。所以答案选chance。
小题5:This way, the fire does not spread out of the area or   a large space of the forest. 第五段讲述了“控制性燃烧的林火不会超越控制区域或占据很大的空间”,而新世纪英语中有这样的词组“cover an area of…占地面积…… ”,所以选cover。
小题6:They can go hungry        their food has been damaged in the fire.这题比较简单,因为食物在林火中遭受破坏,所以动物们要挨饿。所以选because。
小题7:After some time, small plants begin to grow. Animals return soon after the plants return. This     makes an eco-system.第五段最后讲述了“过了一段时间之后,在小的植物‘在春风吹又生’之后小动物也开始生长了的又一个生态系统开始了”,所以选答案again。

Very hot weather is common in many parts of the world. Although hot weather just makes most people hot, it can cause medical problems and death.
Floods, storms and other terrible natural events kill thousands of people every year. And we hear much about them in news reports. We general hear little about heat, which experts say may be nature’s most dangerous killer.
Health experts say that since the year 1900, very hot weather has killed more people in the United States than any other natural event. One year--- the unusually hot summer of 1980 heat caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States. In 1995, more than 600 people died in another heat wave in one city----Chicago, Illinois.
Besides drinking lots of cool water , doctors say there are some other things to do to protect against the health dangers of heat. Stay out of the sun, if possible. Wear loose and light—colored clothes. Wear a hat while in the sun. Eat fewer hot and heavy foods. And, when possible, cook foods during cooler time of the day. If possible, rest more often.
Health experts say these simple steps can prevent the dangerous health problems caused by heat. They will prevent sickness, help you feel better and may even save your life.

You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say,” I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I’m tired”.
One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused . I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.
To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.
I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are.  In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
小题1: What does the word “confused” in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese ?
A.困惑B.憧憬C.悲痛D.后悔
小题2:A good US student spends his / her time ______ .
A.only in doing homework
B.on studies, sports or music and public work
C.only in working for the public
D.only on sports or music
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true ?
A.The writer is now in US.
B.American girls love to have white skin.
C.US students are talented and hard working.
D.The writer regrets that he gave up playing the piano.
