37.We learn that before coins and paper money were used, _____.

A. Around 1300 BC. B. Around 1000 BC. C. Around 700 BC. D. Around 640 BC. 39.The underlined word “adopted” in Paragraph 4 probably means “____”. A. replaced B. changed C. accepted D. invented 40.Which of the following countries first started to use paper money? A. Spain B. China C. Sweden D. Lydia (B) A green house is a building made of glass which is used for keeping warm when the outside temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere (mixture of gases that surround the earth) which trap the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping. These gases are known as “greenhouse gases”. and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the “greenhouse effect”. This is not simply air pollution. Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere, and without them the earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us. The problem is that in the last century and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the earth’s atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forest. The rapid increase in greenhouse gases is making the world warmer. The world’s temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10 centimetres. If the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubles, there will probably be a rise in the earth’s temperature of between I and 4℃;. This may seem a small increase, but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, our use of these gases has greatly increased. 41. According to the passage, we can know “greenhouse effect” means_______. A. the way in which gases are used for keeping plants warm B. a natural course that is to a certain degree useful to us C. the way “greenhouse gases” trap heat on the earth D. the whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat 42. If there were no greenhouse effect,_______. A. all plants would not grow on our planet B. soil would reduce the temperature by 30 degrees C. man would breathe the cleaner air D. people couldn’t live in the earth 43. Which of the following is not true? A. Burning too much coal and oil produces lots of greenhouse gases. B. It has become warm on the earth now than in the past. C. Gases put into the atmosphere now will affect the earth years later. D. The temperature in a greenhouse is as high as that in the atmosphere. 44. Suppose the earth’s temperature rose by 3 degrees, _______. A. great harm will be done to mankind B. the sea level would go up by 10 centimeters C. all the land in the world would be flooded D. crops would be unable to grow on the earth 45. This passage mainly deals with ________. A. the concept (概念) and the harm of the greenhouse B. the relation between greenhouse gases and man C. the concept and change of greenhouse effect D. the effect of the rise of the earth’s temperature (C) How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my destiny(命运).I cannot change it." Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的)factor. I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn't realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams. Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success),and get your mind and body to work! Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively. If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand(or sit)there, do something to improve your life. 46.According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life_________________. A. doesn't need improving B. couldn't be improved C. will be better some day D. will be worse in the future 47. What does the author think of the woman's life? A. Positive B. Passive C. Colorful D. Disturbing 48.Which of the following statements is the author's opinion? A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging. B. Your luck can be changed by your own efforts. C. You can only achieve success when God wills it. D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends. 49.In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of _______________. A. positive thinking B. positive action C. hope for the best D. intention to succeed 50. The text is mainly written to advise you to _________________. A. understand yourself B. improve your life C. believe in yourself D. change your normal way 第二节 信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)。 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将对应题号的相应选项字母写在答案卷上。 A、The Travel Pavilion.
