Dear Brown,
Last summer I take a part-time job in the International Camp for children. Now, I learn that one more worker will be needed this year and I think you are fit it. How about join us? The camp is at the foot of a small hill closed to a river. It is such beautiful a place! We can hear birds singing happy all round. Everybody sleeps in tents, that is very exciting. We usually work only five hours a day, so we will have plenty of spare time to visit the area and have a fun. I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience. Unless you have interests in it, write to me.
Yours，
Lucy

【分析】
本文是一封书信，作者介绍了去年夏天在国际儿童夏令营做兼职的愉快经历，并邀请Brown今年也加入他们。
【详解】第一处：考查时态。句意：去年夏天，我在国际儿童夏令营做兼职。时间状语Last summer表明用一般过去时，故take改为took。
第二处：考查固定短语。句意：现在，我知道今年还需要一名工作人员，我认为你能胜任这份工作。be fit for表示“胜任”，故fit后加for。
第三处：考查非谓语动词。句意：加入我们怎么样？作介词about的宾语用动名词，故join改为joining。
第四处：考查形容词。句意：营地在靠近一条河的小山脚下。此处用形容词close，close to表示“靠近”，故closed改为close。
第五处：考查so和such的区别。句意：这是一个多么美丽的地方啊！such修饰名词，修饰形容词 beautiful用副词so，故such改为so。
第六处：考查副词。句意：我们可以听到鸟儿在周围快乐地唱歌。修饰动词singing用副词，故happy改为happily。
第七处：考查非限定性定语从句。句意：我们睡在帐篷里，这令人兴奋。此处为非限定性定语从句，关系词指代前面的内容在从句中作主语，that不能引导非限定性定语从句，故that改为which。
第八处：考查固定短语。句意：我们通常一天只工作五个小时，所以我们有足够的时间参观这个地方并玩得开心。have fun表示“玩得开心”，a是多余的，故删掉a。
第九处：考查状语从句。句意：如果你对此感兴趣，请给我写信。根据句意可知此处表示“如果”，故Unless改为If。
第十处：考查名词。句意参考上题解析，此处表示“兴趣”，表示抽象意义，是不可数名词，故interests改为interest。

22. A tropical (热带的) rain forest is an amazing place. Thousands of different kinds of plants and animals make their homes there. Some are not found anywhere else in the world. If the rain forests are not protected, some species of plants and animals could disappear forever, taking their resources (资源) with them.
Scientists have known for a long time that medical cures can come from plants. The rain forest is the perfect habitat for various types of plants. They compete for space, sunlight, water, and nutrients. The plants that survive are strong. They also contain many types of chemicals. These chemicals are part of the plants’ defence system. They can help protect the plants from bacteria, insects, diseases, and other threats. Experts believe that some of these chemicals might be useful to human beings, too.
The native people of the rain forests have healers (医治者) who help those who are sick. For hundreds of years, they have known which leaves, roots, and berries can be used to treat different illnesses.
Western scientists have begun working with these native healers. They learn about different plants, cures, and treatments. Then, they can perform tests on the plants to see what chemicals they contain and how they might be used. When they do find something important, it goes through more and more tests. Lots of experiments must be done over a long period of time before something can be safely sold as a drug. Scientists want to be sure that it works and that the risk of using it isn’t too high.
American scientists have set up labs in the countries where the rain forests are. They do studies and research there. They also employ scientists and workers who live in these countries to help them. This allows the local people to benefit from research on the rain forests. They can make money from the rain forest without destroying it, which is very important. If the rain forest is valuable to them, they will help protect it. The more people who are trying to protect the rain forests, the better. Just imagine the cures that might be found there!
32. The text is mainly about             .
A. the native healers of the rain forests
B. the plants and animals living in the rain forests
C. the medicinal value of plants in the rain forests
D. the diseases which attack plants in the rain forests
33. According to Paragraph 2, it’s important to protect the rain forests because       .
A. they are being polluted and destroyed
B. some plants and animals have become extinct
C. they provide more employment for the local people
D. certain plants provide chemicals that can be used in medical cures
34. Drugs need to be tested before being sold mainly because             .
A. they are made from plants
B. they may contain other nutrients
C. scientists don’t know their use or effect
D. scientists need to be sure they’re safe for use
35. What can we infer from the text?
A. The natives don’t know the value of the plants.
B. The rain forests are beneficial to the entire world.
C. People show little interest in protecting the rain forests.
D. Cures for dangerous diseases have been found in the rain forests.
