閱讀下列短文,然后根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容從每小題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳的一項(xiàng)。
A
There is a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away,across the field,is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half-melted snow from last winter on the ground.
The reason the water is so clear,and everything is so quiet and still,is that most of the plants and animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects,which the birds need for food,have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark(樹(shù)皮),and are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something,but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year,the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stone of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the lower is repaired soon,it will fall down.
All the death and destruction in this place is caused by the smoke coming out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.
36. What time of the year do you think it is?
A. SpringB. SummerC. AutumnD. Winter
37. Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake?Because.

38. Why does the farmer have to plant a stronger kind of seed?Because.
A. the soil becomes less and less
B. few plant life can stand the weather there
C. the water in the lake can’t be used to irrigate the field
D. the soil there is becoming unfit for farming
39. The word“destruction”in the passage means“being.”
A. developedB. destroyed
C. protectedD. produced
40. What do you think is the best title of the passage?
A. A Beautiful Place of Interest.
B. A Polluted Place.
C. A Quiet Place in Sweden.
D. A Faraway Mountain Area.

As a parent you might never guess all the ways a good imagination benefits your child. It helps a preschooler:
Develop social skills
As children play pretend,they explore relationships between family members,friends and co-workers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor,they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house,they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet,they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair,to share,and to cooperate.
Build self-confidence
Young children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.
Boost intellectual growth
Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought. Children who can see a king’s castle in a mound of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically. This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects,letters symbolize sounds,and so on.
Practice language skills
Kids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking. This helps boost their vocabulary,improve sentence structure and enhance communication skills.
Work out fears
Playing pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children role-play about the big,bad monster under the bed,they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn’t seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids vent confusing feelings they might have,such as anger toward a parent or rivalry(競(jìng)爭(zhēng))with a new sibling(兄弟姐妹).
To encourage your youngster’s imagination,read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.

Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and different endings,such as import,export,report and transport.

Let’s look at the following words:supporter,reporter,importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix,thus meaning a person who completes the verb. So supporter means somebody who supports.
