24、America is the world’s largest food exporter (出口商). But the worst drought (干旱) in half a century is hitting corn and wheat harvests.

By twenty-fifty, the world will have to produce at least sixty percent more food to feed more and more people. China, a major food importer (进口商), is looking to producers around the world to make sure it can get enough food in the future.

The serious drought in the United States is adding to care about world food and prices. China has invested (投资) in food production in Australia and New Zealand. A new source (来源) of food is Ukraine. Ukraine was known as the breadbasket of Europe because of rich corn and wheat harvests a century ago.

Galyna Kovtok is chief manager of Ukraine’s largest agricultural business, ULF. She says that within a few months her company will export corn to China. That will make Ukraine the first country outside the Americas to do so. Across the Black Sea area — in Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan — drought this year is pushing harvests down by fifteen to twenty percent.

Traditionally, the Black Sea area is the main source of wheat for North Africa and the Middle East. But this year, Russia may have to suspend exports. However, Africa and the Middle East are now having competition with China.

【1】We can know from the passage that America ________.

A. has a good wheat harvest this summer

A. increase   B. encourage

C. protect D. Stop

25、   A poor boy once went to a ragged（破旧的）school, where his face was well washed. When he returned home, the neighbors looked at him in surprise.

They said, "That looks like Tom Rogers, and yet it can't be, for he is so clean."

After a while, his mother looked at him, and seeing that his face was so clean, she thought that her own face was dirty, and she washed it at once.

The father soon came home from his work, and, seeing his wife and his son so clean, he thought that his face was dirty, and so he followed their example.

Father, mother and son being clean, the mother began to think that the room looked dirty, so she went down on her knees to scrub（擦洗）the floor clean.

A woman lived next door. Seeing so great a change in her neighbors, she thought that her face and her room were very dirty, so she, too, quickly set about cleaning them.

This story shows how two houses and their families were made tidy and comfortable, simply by the example of the clean face of one ragged school boy.

Children, as well as grow-up people, should always set a good example. We never know how much good may be done in that way, nor can we tell how much harm results from a bad example.

根据短文内容判断正、误。（正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”）

26、   “It’s good to talk,” some people say. I take a bus in London, there are certainly plenty of people talking on their mobile phones, sometimes too loudly, discussing and sharing personal information with a friend. 

Many of us meet strangers every day no matter where we are. Some scientists studied this silent relationship and wondered if staying alone is a more positive（积极的）experience than communicating with strangers. They found that many people felt uncomfortable and ashamed talking to others and they said that many people just couldn’t understand how much a new person liked them when they started a conversation.

Their research showed that people who actually tried to talk to a stranger found the people sitting next to them was happy to chat with them. From this, this conclusion（结论）is that connecting with strangers is surprisingly pleasant and it has a good influence on our health. People are in a better mood after they have a conversation. It’s true that talking can make us feel happier and happiness can lead to   better mental health.

However, if we’re shy, the thought of speaking to strangers might make us anxious. But an American research found that all people were happier when they were asked to behave in a brave manner. So maybe, if we’re alone, it’s time to go out of our house and make some small talks with a stranger — it could be the beginning of a new friendship.

A.孤独的 B.喜悦的 C.自信的 D.尴尬的

27、   The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore settingthe terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.

It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.

What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Disappearance of African elephants.

B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.

C.The effect of African elephants' search for food.

D.The eating habit of African elephants.

【2】What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?

A.Fixing the time. B.Worsening the state.

C.Improving the quality. D.Deciding the conditions.

【3】What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?

A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.

B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.

C.They are home to many endangered animals.

D.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.

【4】According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.The African elephant is the largest animal on earth.

B.African elephants have 300 pounds of plants every day, including small trees and underbushes.

C.The African elephant is in a way the builder of the environment like other land animals.

D.If the African elephant disappears, the whole ecosystem won't be affected.
