It seems impossible to predict that which new technologies will become part of everyday life in the future .
Some of the most famous innovations , look like the Internet or text massaging on cellular phones , whcich
have exceeded initial expectations and become essential part to modern life .Other technologies , though
accompanied by great deal excitement and bold predictions when released into the market –place , end up
with disappearing . Betamax VCRs are a good example . Though Betamax boasted superior technology to
VHS , they was sold far fewer units and lost their market share . Another problem is that sometimes a
technology is so hyped by the media that it cannot possibly to meet the advertised expectations . The
Segway has already become a case study in this kind of disappointment .Touted as the next civilization –
changing for innovation , the Sedway promised to revolutionize transportation . The public was asked to
wait and see about what this mystery invention would look like ! When this odd –looking little vehicle
finally arrived , people ask a biting question . So what ? That question remains be unanswered .

CLEARING LAND FOR FARM

Rainforest are disapperaing in tropical areas around the world .They are being cut down , burned ,
and damaged through a process called “ deforestation ” . This is serious problem in developing countries
within tropical regions . The impact of deforestation , though , also has vast global implications . It is ,
therefore , very important to find solutions to these problems . Unfortunately , process in this area has been
very low .
According to the world bank statistics , many developing countries , such as Brazil , Ecuador , and
Indonesia had lost almost half of their rainforest by 1991 .Worldwide , in 1800 there were 7.1 billion acres
of tropical forests , while today there are only 3.5 billion acres . Recent statistics suggest that an area of
tropical forest larger that North Korea is deforested every year .
Most importantly , though , the rainforest plays an important role in the health of our environment .
Trees and other plants act as filters that clean pollutants out of the air and produce clean air .With air
pollution increasing as forests decline , the world is facing a potential crisis with regard to air quality .
Poverty is one of the main forces behind deforestation in tropical counties , where many rely on
farming as a way of life .The most practical method is “ slash and burn ” agriculture , in which a small area
of trees is cut down and the burned to fertilize the soil . For a period of time , the soil can produce good
crops , but rain gradually washes away the nutrients , reducing fertility and causing crops to grow at a
lower rate . Eventually , the soil can no longer support crops , and farmers are often forced to abandon the
land .
Government policies also contribute to the destruction of rainforests . In countries like Brazil , mush
of the rainforests is owned by the state .However , the state does not have enough resources to control
access to the forests . Therefore , the government allows people to claim areas of land within the forest .
66. The word “ implications ” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to …….
A. suggestion B. policies C. long-term solution D. possible results
67. The author mentions North Korea ….
A. to demonstrate the impact of deforestation in North Korea .
B. to demonstrate that North Korea policy is favorable to that of Brazil .
C. to demonstrate how much forest is being destroyed each year .
D. to demonstrate that deforestation is not as serious as we thought .
68. The phrase “ way of life ” in paragraph 4 is closet in meaning to ….
A. daily living B. hobby C. interest D. future survival
69. The following things are considered the bad effects of the rain EXCEPT :
A. washing away the nutrients B. reducing the fertility
C. causing crops to grow at lower rate D. cleaning pollutants out of the air
70. According to the passage,why does the Brazilian government allow farmers to make claims on
rainforest land ?
A. They want to improve the living conditions of farmers .
B. If the farmers don’t claim them, large companies will .
C. They don’t have the resourcesto prevent it .
D. The economy is based on agriculture .
X. Read the following passage and choose the most suitable phrase from A to F to fill in each
