24、In the Americas (在美洲), Asia, and Africa there’s a special kind of forest called the cloud forest. Cloud forests can be found in the clouds on the mountains.

Like rainforests, cloud forests experience rainfall (降雨), but they also catch water straight from the air. Water condenses (凝结), you’ll hear the drop of water, even if it’s not raining. The water caught is clear and unpolluted through the ground into rivers.

Some people call cloud forests water towers, because they are so important in providing water for nearby villages and cities. But it’s not just humans who depend on cloud forests. They are also home to a lot of animals and plants.

Cloud forests are very special places. But they face problems. Local poor people clear the forests so that they can grow crops. They also hunt (猎杀) endangered animals for meat, and cut down trees to heat their homes and cook. Farmers convert (改造) the land so that they can grow fruits and coffee beans (咖啡豆).

Once cloud forests are cleared, the harm (伤害) can be irreversible (不可逆转的). Many species (物种) which are important to the ecosystem (生态系统), go away.

Cloud forests are very valuable. With laws to protect them, we might be able to save them before it’s too late.

【1】The water of cloud forests comes from _________.

A．the rain

B．the air

C．rivers

D．clouds

【2】What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The meanings of cloud forests.

B．The problems of cloud forests.

C．The advantages of cloud forests.

D．The importance of cloud forests.

【3】From Paragraph 4, we know _________.

A．people are trying to save the cloud forests

B．people are doing harms to the cloud forests

C．farmers are making better uses of cloud forests

D．farmers are turning the cloud forests into green land

【4】What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

A．To ask people to protect cloud forests.

B．To tell people cloud forests are valuable.

C．To make people know more about forests.

D．To encourage people to walk close to nature.

25、   Living places

The home of the elephant is in the deep forest. It is the largest of all land animals, and is found both in Asia and Africa. One of the main places in Asia where the elephant lives is the island of Ceylon. The huge forests on the island become the home of thousands of elephants. The trees grow thick and tall. They make many parts almost dark, while bright sunlight is above and around them.

Living habits

The elephant likes the deep part and the coolest places of the forest. There he will stand swinging his ears, to drive away the flies; or he will pull down a branch (树枝) from a tree to fan himself. He likes bathing, and to be near a lake or running water. There he takes in the water with his trunk, and spreads it all over his body.

Food

The elephant enjoys the fruits in the forest, and also the leaves of the trees. There is plenty of food for him in the forests, though he is not always happy with what he finds there.

Way of movement

When a group of elephants moves about in the forest, the oldest goes first. The young elephants and their mothers are in the middle, where they are safest. Then all move along with a great noise, the branches of the trees bending and breaking before them. Though the elephant is usually harmless. no one dares to attack (袭击) a group of them moving through the forest.

How people treat them

In Asia the elephant is trained to work. At one time the African elephant also was trained. Soldiers in ancient times often went to fight on the backs of African elephants. But now the elephant that lives in Africa is illegally (非法地) hunted mainly for its valuable ivory. In order to protect them, governments around the world have developed laws to stop this.

27、When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

  Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can’t understand the speakers’ sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

  “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”

  “I’ve seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”

  When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实际) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.

根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。

【1】From the passage we know that we need to put every word into our own language when we are learning English.

【2】The writer thinks it is easy to master the rules for word order in learning English.

【3】We can learn from the passage that sometimes different order of words has a different meaning.

【4】“She only likes apples,” is the same as “Only she likes apple”.

【5】“How to speak English?” is the best title for this passage.
