Trees

　　1. Trees are plants that survive year after year and have a single main stem composed entirely of wood. Some kinds grow to only ten feet. Others attain heights of more than 350 feet. These giants also have stems that are as much as 100 feet in circumference （圆周）.

　　2. Over 25,000 different species of tree grow around the wood, except near the North and South Poles. They all belong to one of two possible groups. They are either coniferous （松类的） or deciduous （落叶的）. Coniferous trees are evergreens （常绿的）, such as pine or fir, which bear needlelike foliage （叶子） all year long. Many deciduous trees have broad leaves, which they usually shed each year at the beginning of the cold season.

　　3. Trees provide people with a host of oils, drugs glues, candy, cloths, fuels, and well over 10,000 wooden products. Some have unique qualities that make their wood valuable for special purposes. One particular type of tree, for example, is used to make fishing rods because it is not strong but unusually flexible. Queensland walnut is used by the electrical industry in Australia, because it is almost as good an electrical insulator as rubber. One of the world most unusual trees is the teak （柚木）. It is one of the heaviest of all woods, and it has the largest leaves of any tree. These enormous leaves are two feet square and their surface is so tough and coarse that cabinetmakers in India use them as sandpaper. Teakwood itself is so heavy that when a teak tree is first cut down it will not float in water. It takes three years for the ten or fifteen ton trunk to dry out enough so it will not sink.

　　4. Of all the world's billions of living trees, the tallest is a giant redwood in California. It towers 368 feet. This redwood tree is anchored and nourished by a massive root system. It extends over three full acres.

　　16. Trees grow every corner of the world.

What is Happiness?

　　1. The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, painfree life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true, more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

　　2. As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement.

　　3. Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment （应承担的义务）. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.

　　4. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or three-day vacation. I dont know parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.

　　5. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

　　23. Paragraph 1 ______.

　　24. Paragraph 2 ______.

　　25. Paragraph 4 ______.

　　26. Paragraph 5 ______.

Water

　　Humanity uses a little less than half the water available worldwide. Yet occurrences of shortages and droughts （干旱） are causing famine and distress in some areas, and industrial and agricultural by-products are polluting water supplies. Since the worlds population is expected to double in the next 50 years, many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis.

　　But that doesnt have to be the outcome. Water shortages do not have to trouble the world－if we start valuing water more than we have in the past. Just as we began to appreciate petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises, today we must start looking at water from a fresh economic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want.

　　Instead, for all uses except the domestic demand of the poor, governments should price water to reflect its actual value. This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs.

　　Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound ways. For example, often the cheapest way to provide irrigation （灌溉） water in the dry tropics is through small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions （凹地） and pumping it to nearby cropland.

　　No matter what steps governments take to provide water more efficiently, they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use. Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up central authorities to coordinate water policy.

　　31. What is the real cause of the potential water crisis? ________.

　　A. Only half of the worlds water can be used.

　　B. The world population is increasing faster and faster.

　　C. Half of the worlds water resources have been seriously polluted.

　　D. Humanity has not placed sufficient value on water resources.

　　32. As indicated in the passage, the water problem ________.

　　A. is already serious in certain parts of the world

　　B. has been exaggerated by some experts in the field

　　C. poses a challenge to the technology of building reservoirs

　　D. is underestimated by government organizations at different levels

　　33. According to the author, the water price should ________.

　　A. be reduced to the minimum

　　B. stimulate domestic demand

　　C. correspond to its real value

　　D. take into account the occurrences of droughts

　　34. The author says that in some hot and dry areas it is advisable to ________.

　　A. build big lakes to store water

　　B. construct big pumping stations

　　C. build small and cheap irrigation systems

　　D. channel water from nearby rivers to cropland

　　35. In order to raise the efficiency of the water supply, measures should be taken to ________.

　　A. guarantee full protection of the environment

　　B. centralize the management of water resources

　　C. increase the sense of responsibility of agencies at all levels

　　D. encourage local and regional control of water resources
