阅读下列短文，然后从每小题A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
A
Nearly all our food comes from the soil(土地). Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter(粪)from animals also falls on it.
　　All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers(化肥)are also very useful. The same crop(庄稼)should not be grown in the same place every year, it’s better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.
(    )36. Which of the following is true?
　　 A. All our food comes from the soil. B. Most of our food comes from soil.
　 　 C. None of our food comes from the soil. D. All our food comes from animals.
(    )37. What would happen first without plants?
　　 A. People would have more crops. B. Animals would die.
　　 C. There would be more food. D. There would be less soil.
(    )38. What does the writer tell us in the first paragraph(段落)?
A. Leaves, plants, grass and waste live on each other.
B. There would be no animals without meat.
C. There would be no plants without animals.
　　 D. People, animals, plants and soil live on each other
(    )39. Which is the best food for soil in the field?
　　 A. Chemical fertilizers.     B. Plants and grass.
　　 C. Animals’ waste.          D. Different crops.
(    )40. Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?
　　 A. Because we can keep the soil rich this way. B. Because we don’t have enough land.
　　 C. Because we want to have a different food. D. Because we do this as a habit(习惯).

B
Every afternoon, hundreds of thousands of young people go to Internet cafes (网吧) to play computer games. They play Counter Strikes, Diablo, and others. These games can be fun and exciting, but it is bad when this pastime becomes an addiction (瘾).
Computer games are often exciting and great, but students don’t learn as much from them as they would by simply reading a book. Spending too much time playing them can take away students’ study time. If young people spend too much time playing them, they will have little time to study. Besides, computer games can also be bad for young children, because many computer games are violent (暴力的) and the goals in most of them are to kill the other player(s). This does not send the right message to the children who need to be told that violence is not good. Young people may do the same in real life as they do in computer games.
Of course, playing a computer games in spare time is not a bad thing. Games can be a great way to rest after studying. However, they should not become the focus of our life.
(    )41.From the message we know that young people_______.
A. don’t like computer games at all B. like computer games best
C. like computer games very much D. are good at computer games
(    )42.The writer doesn’t think _______.

A. way B. center C. direction D. wish
( )44.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Spending too much time playing computer games can influence students’ study.
B. Violent computer games can make young children follow them in real life.
C. Playing computer games in free time is a bad thing.
D. We should break the habit of playing computer games.
(    )45.The best title for this passage is _________.
A. Don’t play computer games B. Dangerous to play computer games
C. How to play computer games D. Be away from computer games

Long, long ago the Mouse King had a beautiful daughter. When she was old enough to be married, he called together the oldest and cleverest mice to talk about it.
“My daughter,” He said, “is far too beautiful to marry just anybody. I have decided to marry her to the greatest thing in the world. Now, who shall it be?”
“The sun,” the first mouse said at once, “is the greatest thing tin the world. It shines over the whole world.”
“Why, then, I shall marry her to the sun,” said the Mouse King.
“But,” said the second, “a cloud can cover the sun.”
“Then, she must be married to the cloud.”
“But,” said the third, “the rain breaks through the clouds and puts an end to them.”
“That is true. I must marry her to the rain.”
“But,” cried the fourth, “no matter how hard the rain falls, it cannot wash away the trees.”
“Then she must be the tree’s wife.”
“But,” shouted the fifth, “a strong wind can blow down the trees.”
“Very true. Then the wind must be her husband.”
“But,” remembered the sixth, “no matter how hard the wind blows, it cannot blow away the earth.”
“Then I must marry him to the earth.”
“But,” called out the seventh, “the earth is covered by the wooden floors of men’s houses.”
“Then she shall marry the wooden floor at once.”
“But,” the last said slowly, “no matter how strong the wooden floor is, a mouse can bite his way through it.”
