Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year came from foreign land, a Chinese official in charge of desertification(荒漠化) control said on Monday. And the invasions(入侵)could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.
Since the start of last spring, the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms, of which, a dozen came from foreign land.
Situated in the central Asia sandstorm region, one of the world’s four largest sandstorm sources, China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia. The other three major sources are in Africa, North America and Australia.
The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7,585 square kilometres annually in China, and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.
The shrinkage(收缩)forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 square kilometers and 3,436 square kilometers late last century, respectively.
Currently, the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million square kilometres, accounting for 27.46 percent of the nation’s land, and its sandy land totals 1.74 million square kilometres, accounting for 18.1 percent of the country’s total.
1.What does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Going down. B. Going up.
C. Coming from. D. Taking up.
2.Where do most of the sandstorms in China come from?
A. The northwestern Chinese regions. B. The northern Chinese regions.
C. The western part of China. D. Foreign countries.
3.Which of the following is believed to be the sand source to northeast Asia?
A. Mongolia. B. Africa.
C. China. D. Australia.
4.What can we infer from this passage?
A. The land in China suffering from desertification has been increasing greatly.
B. China has made achievements in its own desertification control.
C. The desertification land makes up nearly half of China’s territory.
D. Little progress has been made in controlling desertification in China.

Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you have. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn’t make up for all the time we’ve been apart. I know how much I’ve missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that’s why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.
I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential—schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college-even if their parents aren’t rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.
I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you’ll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.
Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country—but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free—that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.
That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.
She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better-and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It’s a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.
I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you’ve had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much—although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.
These are the things I want for you-to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That’s why I’ve taken our family on this great adventure.
I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.
Love, Dad

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me.1.
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.2.We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.3.Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
4. We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
5. It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
B.Things are going to be improved.
C.I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
D.The trip they took me on was a rough one.
E.After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.

高二英语七选五中等难度题查看答案及解析
It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a nonEnglish speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play.If I tried to talk to him,he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.
After a day or two of this,I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls.I called her over and she ran to me,ready to help.
I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her.I asked her if she would try to get him to play,and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could do this,she could do that,she could try this idea,she could try that idea.She touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a sixyearold can,and said,“Don’t worry.I speak kid.” And she ran off.
I stood there all alone,silently watching her.It took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off,hand in hand,happily joining a game of tag (捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.
I often think of that small moment,about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid—big kid,little kid and middle kid.I know my focus must be on teaching students how to think,how to approach problems,and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let the_opportunity away.We must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us,the teachers,as well as our kids.
1.Why did the author worry about the boy?
A.He didn’t dare to look at the author in the eyes.
B.He couldn’t speak English as well as other students.
C.He failed to understand what the author taught.
D.He was unwilling to communicate with others.
2.By saying “I speak kid”,the girl meant that she could________.
A.speak the language that kids understand
B.speak the boy’s native language
C.know what kids want to say
D.speak well like a little kid
3.The underlined words “the opportunity” refer to the chance to________.
A.play at break time B.learn from students
C.solve problems D.speak kid
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Gold will shine everywhere.
B.Children are more friendly than adults.
C.Teachers’ thoughts are different from students’.
D.You learn something every day if you pay attention.
