　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 C

On a rainy day, you will see many streams of muddy ( 多泥的) water running down the slopes ( 斜坡) of a hill. The water is muddy because it washes away soil from the hill slopes.

　 Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say that the land is eroded (侵蚀 ) . This is known as soil erosion.

　 Plants cannot grow on eroded land. There is not enough soil on eroded land to give them the things they need. Plants need water and salts from the soil.

　 We can do a number of things to stop soil erosion. This is called soil conservation (保持 ) .

　 One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is to grow small plants such as grass. Their roots hold the soil tightly together.

　 Another way is to plant trees around an open field. Thus soil erosion by strong winds cannot take place. Rows of trees act as a very big wall.

　 Soil erosion on slopes can be stopped by cutting “steps “called terrace ( 梯田) , Water carrying soil can not run straight down the slopes now. It has to run down the terrace. This slows down the flow ( 流动) of the water. Most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces.

　 There are still some other ways for soil conservation.

51. On a rainy day the water running down the slopes of hill is muddy because ____.

　 A.. there are no terraces on the slopes　　 B. there are no small plants on the slopes　

　 C. it washes away soil from the slopes　D. there is too much soil on the slopes　

52. Plants cannot grow on eroded land because _____

　 A. there is a lot of sand in it　B. there is not enough water and salts in it　

　 C. there is no water in it.　　D. the land is too hard

　 A. to grow small plants but not grass　B. to plant trees around an open field

　 A. can slows down the flow of the water　B. plants can grow better

25单元解析

1.答案：A。

分析：此题考查mind一词的用法。　mind vt。（常用于疑问，否定。条件句中）“介意，反对”，宾语为名词（或名词短语）动名词形式。

I didn't mind the cold 。我不在乎这样冷的天气。

Would you mind my smoking here?你介意我在这儿吸烟吗？所以正确答案选A.

2.答案：D.

 分析：此题的句型为make+宾语+补语依据题意：在发言之前， King先生通过自我介绍使他自己被我们认识此处应用过去分词。例如:The foreign teacher speaks English slowly and clearly so that he can make himself understood.故此正确答案选D.

3.答案：B.

分析：此题考查情态动词“表推测的用法”根据题意“既然他把握不太大”，那么Peter应是可能来的“， 表示可能性推测用　may (might)。

4．答案：D。

分析： return作返， 返回”解时， 是不及物动词。若其后跟名词， 则要用介词 “to”引导地点名词， 如： They returned to Beijing at mid-night.

Milu deer returned to China again.

本句的home是副词， “回家” 就可以说 return home，根据句子时态，可以选定为D. return也可以直接跟名词，作及物动词使用。这时意思为“归还。。。”“送回。。。“如：

Please return the books to Library before Friday 。

When did you return the books I lent you ?

5．答案：C.

分析：look at仔细看，at为介词， 宾语必须放其后。 look over检查，察看，　over是副词。 look up查找，查出 up是副词。 look for寻找，　for是介词。 代词作短语动词宾语时， 必须放在动词与副词之间。 表示（在字典里）查找用 look up所以正确答案为 C。另外 look引导的短语动词有： look after（照看） look around（环视） look forward（盼望） look out（朝外看） look through（浏览） look into （调查）等。
