阅读理解。    One of my favourite things to do is hiking in mountains. Because nobody likes the idea of getting lost, I
always prepare before every trip. But what"s the best navigation tool, a Global Positioning System (GPS) or
a good old map and compass? Five of my friends and I hiked through the mountains on a trail I marked. One
team of three carried a GPS, and the other team used a map and compass.
    It took the GPS team 3 hours and 11 minutes to get through the whole hike, however, it took the map and
compass team only 2 hours and 49 minutes. The biggest problem the GPS team met was that they lost the
satellite signal (卫星信号) in some places. With no map or compass, they had to walk around until they were
in a place where the signal was good. The map and compass team was able to spot (认出) different landmarks,
compare them to their maps and then use the compass to point them in the right direction.
     When I head out on my future hikes, I"m bringing a map, a compass and a GPS to show me the way.

1. The writer prepares before every trip because he doesn"t ______. [ ]
A. like the old map or compass
B. know how to use the GPS
C. want to get lost in mountains
D. want to get into the mountains alone 2. The two teams ______. A. had the same navigation tool
B. went along the same trail
C. had the same problem
D. finished the whole hike at the same time 3. In the end, the writer found out ______. [ ]
A. the map and the compass were too old navigation tools to use any more
B. it wasn"t necessary to bring a map and a compass together with a GPS
C. the GPS had some disadvantages in hiking in mountains

Trees are useful to men in three important ways: They provide them with wood and other products (产品), they give them shade (树荫), and they help to prevent drought and floods. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, men have not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In their eagerness (渴望) to make money from trees, some people have cut trees down in large numbers, only to find that without them they have lost the best friends they had. And besides (此外), they are usually too careless to plant and look after new trees, so the forests slowly disappear. This doesn"t only mean that men will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: where there are trees, their roots (根) break up soil-allowing the rain to sink in and also bind (固定) the soil, thus (因而) preventing it from being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the rain falls carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains (剩下) but worthless desert.
1. Land becomes desert after all trees arte cut down, because ____.
[ ]
A. there is too much rain B. there are no more trees to keep the rich top-soil from being carried away by floods C. there is a strong wind D. roots of trees break up the soil
2. People cut down many trees because ____.
[ ]
A. they wanted to get wood from them B. they wanted to get money from them C. they didn"t realize the importance of them D. all the above
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
[ ]
A. Tree roots can make the top-soil rich and the ground hard. B. Trees can make the rain sink into the ground. C. Trees can prevent drought and floods. D. Tree roots can take away the top-soil

To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write. Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian. But when they went to England in 1902, English people couldn"t understand a word they said and they couldn"t understand what was said to them. These days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study. So the spoken language is becoming more and more important. Speaking, of course, can"t go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly. Thy sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you don"t listen carefully, you"ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers. Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it"s to exchange ideas. People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to write it in clear lively language. Chinese students read far too slowly. If you read fast, you understand better. If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you meet with new words, don"t look them up in the dictionary. Guess the meaning from the context. You may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word, you"ll never finish a book. Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they are studying. They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation. In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.
1. In his first point the writer told us ______.
[ ]
A. how to speak English B. how to read and write C. why spoken English is important D. why English people couldn"t understand Lenin
2. In his last point the writer advised us ______.
[ ]
A. to kill two birds with one stone B. to learn two languages at a time C. to study all the subjects in a foreign language D. to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying
3. In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on ______.
[ ]
A. how to read faster B. how to guess the meaning from the context C. how to look up new words in the dictionary D. how to grasp the general meaning of a passage
4. "To kill two birds with one stone" means ______.
[ ]
A. to get some particular knowledge B. to get more than what one pays C. the stone is too big D. the birds are blind enough
