第一篇
Water Resources on the Earth
The second most important constituent（构成成分）of the biosphere（生物圈）is liquid water. This can only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures,since water freezes at 0℃and boils a 100℃．Life as we know it would only be possible on the surface of a planet which had temperature: somewhere within this narrow range.
The earth's supply of water probably remains fairly constant in quantity.The total quantity of water is not known very accurately,but it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe to a depth of about two and three-quarter kilometers.Most of it is in the form of the salt water of the oceans一about 97 percent. The rest is fresh.But three-quarters of this is in the form of ice at the poles and or mountains and cannot be used by living systems until melted.Of the remaining fraction,which h somewhat less than one percent of the whole.There is 10—20 times as much stored underground water as there is actually on the surface.There is also a tiny,but extremely important fraction of the water supply which is present as water vapour in the atmosphere.
Water vapour in the atmosphere is the channel through which the whole water circulation（循环） of the biosphere has to pass.Water evaporated（蒸发）from the surface of the oceans,from lakes and rivers and from moist（潮湿的）earth is added to it. From it the water comes out again as rain or snow,falling on either the sea or the land. There is,as might be expected, a more intensive evaporation per unit area over the sea and oceans than over the land,but there is more rainfall over the land than over the oceans and the balance is restored by the run off from the land in the form of rivers.There is more of rainfall________.
A:over the mountains than over the rivers
B:over the rivers than over the mountains
C:over the land than over the oceans
D:over the oceans than over the land答案：C解析：文章第一段的第二句讲到液态水“only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures"，虽然B（我们星球的表面）也有点道理，但是液态水对温度的要求很高，并非地球的所有表面都有液态水存在，所以答案D正确。
第二段第一句提到地球上水的供给“remains fairly constant in quantity"，数量上是恒定的，它就没有增加也不会减少，只不过会以不同的形态出现，所以选择B（保持不变）。
问题是“地球上绝大部分淡水以什么形式出现？”第二段中间提到淡水时，说到“three-quarters of this is in the form of ice at the poles and on mountains"，即3/4的淡水以冰的形式存在于两极和高山中，后面提到剩余部分的淡水存在于地下，但占比少于1%,所以选项A正确。
词义辫析题， fraction有“小部分”的意思，考虑到前面提到地球97％的水以海洋咸水的形式存在，剩下的3％则以冰的形式存在于两极和高山，余下的自然不多，所以选B。
第三段的最后一句说到“there is more rainfall over the land than over the oceans”，陆地的降雨比海洋要多，但没有提到河流和山脉的降雨比较，所以C正确。大气中的水蒸气是整个生物圈的水循环必经的途径。水从海洋的表面、湖泊、河流和潮湿的泥土中蒸发出来并补充到大气中。水以雨或雪的形式再次出现，降落在海洋或陆地上。可以预料到的是，海洋上空每单位面积的水蒸气比在陆地上空更为密集，但是，陆地比海洋有更多的降雨，水在陆地上以河流的形式流出以保持水资源的平衡。 -

第14题：
A
Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it，while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow plants need several things． One is warmth． In very cold places almost nothing grows． Plants also need water． In very dry parts of the earth only a few unusual plants can grow． That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass．
Plants must also have a place in which to f，ut down their roots and grow． They find it diffi-culr to grow on hard land． The town is built on hard land． The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones Io grow in．
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food．
Whar will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants，such as beach grass，will grow in sand，L ut most plants won-t． Even if the weather is warm enough．and we water the plants each day． Many of them will die because the sand on this beach has al-most no food for plants．

Human and the Earth
In terms of the evolution of life on Earth,human beings have just arrived.Despite their shori time on Earth,however,people have brought about enormous changes to the surface of the planet一changes far out of proportion to the interval of time they have occupied it.
People have more control over their surroundings than any other species on Earth.With the combination of intelligence and manual skill(allowing us to make and use tools),people have found ways to use plant and animal resources,mineral ores,fuels,and many other materials and resources from the Earth.
As the number of people on Earth increases,it becomes increasingly difficult for the population to survive on the resources of the land.The amount of land is limited.Although agricultural production can be increased by use of machinery such as tractors and the addition of fertilizer,the land ultimately can produce only so much food and no more.
As the human population grows,people consume more.Clearly,some locations on Earth already have too many people;in many of these areas,future increases will surely bring about more poverty and suffering. Yet people in rich nations use proportionally far more of the available resources than people in poorer nations.As they consume these resources without restraint,they also waste large amounts of them.
People are only a very small fraction of all the living things on the planet.Yet their numbers create a drain on resources that can't be renewed.For example,the amount of water on Earth is limited,this water is cleaned through natural processes.However,the natural processes for filtering water can clean only a certain amount of water by removing the pollution.Likewise,a limited amount of petroleum can be found under the Earth's surface.Petroleum is a valuable resource.Should people use it up to manufacture petrol for automobiles?As people work to control the planet and make life comfortable,are they using up resources that are needed for their survival?What makes people feel hard to live on Earth?
A:Fertilizer.
B:Lse of machinery.
C:Limited land.
D:Limited mineral resources.答案：C解析：文章第一段第一句话提到“就地球上生命的进化而言，人类是姗姗来迟者”，因此比较而言，人类的历史并不长。选项A是正确的。
从文章第二段第二句话“With the combination of intelligence and manual skill...”我们知道选项A和B都是正确的，因此选择D项。
文章第三段提到，土地的总量是有限的。虽然使用拖拉机等机械和施用化肥可以提高农业产量，但是土地最终所能产出的粮食只有那么多，不会再增加。因此只有选项C是正确的。
文章第四段第三句说富裕国家的人们所使用的能源在比例上远远大于贫穷国家的人们。选项C中提到的“发达国家的人们”最符合题意。
根据文章最后一段关于资源的描述我们可以发现选项A、B、C都是正确的，只有选项D的表述错误，因此选择D项。 -
第20题：
资料：Good listening is much more than being silent while the other person talks. To the contrary, people perceive the best listeners to be those who periodically ask questions that promote discovery and insight. These questions gently challenge old assumptions, but do so in a constructive way. Sitting there silently nodding does not provide sure evidence that a person is listening, but asking a good question tells the speaker the listener has not only heard what was said, but that they comprehended it well enough to want additional information. Good listening was consistently seen as a two-way dialog, rather than a one-way “speaker versus hearer” interaction. The best conversations were active.
Good listening included interactions that build a person's self-esteem. The best listeners made the conversation a positive experience for the other party. which doesn't happen when the listener is passive （or, for that matter, critical!） Good listeners made the other person feel supported and conveyed confidence in them. Good listening was characterized by the creation of a safe environment in which issues and differences could be discussed openly.
Good listening was seen as a cooperative conversation. In these interactions, feedback flowed smoothly in both directions with neither party becoming defensive about comments the other made. By contrast, poor listeners were seen as competitive — as listening only to identify errors in reasoning or logic, using their silence as a chance to prepare their next response. That might make you an excellent debater, but it doesn't make you a good listener. Good listeners may challenge assumptions and disagree, but the person being listened to feels the listener is trying to help, not wanting to win an argument
According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A.Those who periodically ask questions want to take charge of the conversation.
B.If you give critical opinions, the speaker will be less confident.
C.Good listeners should agree with the speaker.
D.If the speaker creates a comfortable environment, listeners will become confident.答案：B解析：本题考查细节理解。
【关键词】According to the author;true
【主题句】第2段Good listening included interactions that build a person’s self-esteem. The best listeners made the conversation a positive experience for the other party, which doesn’t happen when the listener is passive （or, for that matter, critical!）. Good listeners made the other person feel supported and conveyed confidence in them. 良好倾听包括通过互动重塑他人自信。最善于倾听的人使对话成为另一方的积极经历，而这种对话往往是在倾听者颇为被动（乃至批判）的时候所无法产生的。好的倾听者使别人感受到支持，同时也传达了信心。
【解析】题目意为“根据作者的观点，以下哪项是正确的？”选项A意为“那些定期问问题的人想要掌控谈话”，文中并未提及。选项B意为“如果你发表批评意见，演讲者就不会那么自信了”，根据主题句，该选项正确。选项C意为“好的听众应该同意演讲者的观点”，文中的观点认为好的听众会对谈话提出建设性看法，故错误。选项D意为“如果演讲者创造了一个舒适的环境，听众就会变得自信”，与文意相反，文中的意思是如果倾听者创造了一个舒适的环境，讲话人就会变得自信。 -
