21．（6分）Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it is steamy,warm,damp and thick.But if you had been around 15,000 years ago,during the last ice age,would it have been the same?For more than 30
years,scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold,dry climates of the ice ages, but until now,no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming.Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the UK each year.But how will the Amazon react to future climate change?If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2 ?
Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.Unfortunately,getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult.To study past climate,scientists need to look at fossilized pollen,kept in lake mud.Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments（沉淀物）which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery.There are very few roads and paths,or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes.Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest,but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled（未取样）.So far,only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.
1、What does the underlined phrase “mopping up” in the second paragraph mean?
A．Giving up B．Taking in
C．Wiping out D．Giving out
2、How will the Amazon rainforest react to future climate change?
A．It'll get drier and continue to remove CO2 .
B．It'll remain steamy,warm,damp and thick.
C．It'll get warmer and then colder and drier.
D．There is no exact answer up to present.
3、What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．It's hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the Amazon rainforest.
B．It's impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest.
C．It's important to drill deep down into lake sediments to collect information.
D．It's necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate.
4、What is the best title for this passage?
A．Studies of the Rainforests.
B．Climates of the Amazon.
C．Secrets of the Ice Age.
D．Changes of the Rainforests.
22．（8分）“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression in one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While t he expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
1、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．The salesgirl is impolite.
B．The salesgirl is angry.
C．The salesgirl cares about the author.
D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
2、By saying “Have a nice day!”, a stranger may ________.
A．try to be polite to you B．express thanks to you
C．give his blessing to you D．share his happiness with you
3、What is the best title of the passage?
A．Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation B．Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture
C．Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting D．Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom
