III．阅读理解  （每小题2分，共计20分）
A
Man must eat in order to live; therefore, one of the most important problems man has is how to have enough food for eating.
At first man didn’t have any way to control food supply. When he had killed all the animals in one place and all the natural foods had been used up, he had to move to another place to find new sources of food. If there was no rain, or if the weather was too hot or too cold, plants would not grow, and man had little or no food. However, man gradually learned to grow plants and raise animals himself. From that time on, man wasn’t worried so much and always having enough food.
The kinds of plants which are raised by man are different in different regions. In the cold regions, very few plants can be grown; in the warmer parts of the world, many varieties of plants are fond. For example, in Asia rice is the most important crop. In the New World, the major grain is corn. In Europe and North Africa, wheat, oats（燕麦）and barley are grown. In the tropical （热带的）regions of the world, many kinds of fruits grow naturally or are raised by man.
As man has learned more about plants and animals, man now uses modern methods to produce different kinds of food. However, there are still some areas in the world where plants and animals are raised in much the same ways as they were thousands of years ago.
41. At first man didn’t have any way to control his food supply. This sentence means that man _______.
A. didn’t know how to cook his food at first
B. sometimes had more than enough to eat and sometimes had not enough to eat
C. don’t know how to produce food at that time
D. as afraid that animals would control his food
42. In the 2nd paragraph “natural food” means______.
A. food which is given by animals
B. food which was given by God
C. plants, animals, vegetables and fruits, etc. which grew naturally
D. crops and plants which were raised by man
43. When man gradually learned ways to grow plants and raise animals, man_______.
A. no longer depended on nature
B. could control the natural conditions
C. still depended on natural conditions, but not so much as before
D. began to look down upon natural conditions
44. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Man knew how to produce foods and keep them at first.
B. At the very beginning man know that he needed food but didn’t know how to control his food supply.
C. Before man learned ways to grow crops and raise animals, he had to move from place to place in order to get food.
D. How to have enough to eat has always been a problem for man.
45. In the sentence “In the New World, the major grain is corn”. The “New World” refers to _______.

Dear Li Gang,
Thank you for writing to me. In your letter you told me about your problem with listening. I advise you to practice listening English for ten minutes every day. Choose tapes that are not too difficult. Later on you can practice with tapes that are more difficult.
You asked me how to improve your writing. I suggest that you should first of all read as much as possible and read some good passages many times. You’d better keep a diary in English. I’m sure you’ll improve your listening and writing soon.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Wang Hua
