Rainforests are home to a rich variety of medicinal plants， food， birds and animals. Can you believe that a single bush （灌木丛） in the Amazon may have more species of ants than the whole of Britain! About 480 varieties of trees may be found in just one hectare of rainforest.

Rainforests are the lungs of the planet ﹣ storing vast quantities of carbon dioxide and producing a significant amount of the world's oxygen. Rainforests have their own perfect system for ensuring their own survival；the tall trees make a canopy（树冠层） of branches and leaves which protect themselves， smaller plants， and the forest animals from heavy rain，intense dry heat from the sun and strong winds.

Amazingly， the trees grow in such a way that their leaves and branches， although close together， never actually touch those of another tree. Scientists think this is the plants' way to prevent the spread of any tree diseases and make life more difficult for leaf﹣eating insects like caterpillars. To survive in the forest， animals must climb， jump or fly across the gaps. The ground floor of the forest is not all tangled leaves and bushes， like in films， but is actually fairly clear. It is where dead leaves turn into food for the trees and other forest life.

They are not called rainforests for nothing! Rainforests can generate 75% of their own rain. At least 80 inches of rain a year is normal ﹣ and in some areas there may be as much as 430 inches of rain annually. This is real rain ﹣ your umbrella may protect you in a shower， but it won't keep you dry if there is a full rainstorm. In just two hours， streams can rise ten to twenty feet. The humidity（湿气）of large rainforests contributes to the formation of rainclouds that may travel to other countries in need of rain.

（1）What can we learn about rainforests from the first paragraph？ 　　

A．	They produce oxygen.
B．	They cover a vast area.
C．	They are well managed.
D．	They are rich in wildlife.

（2）Which of the following contributes most to the survival of rainforests？ 　 　

A．	Heavy rains.
B．	Big trees.
C．	Small plants.
D．	Forest animals.

（3）Why do the leaves and branches of different trees avoid touching each other？ 　　

A．	For more sunlight.
B．	For more growing space.
C．	For self﹣protection.
D．	For the detection of insects.

（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？ 　　

A．	Life﹣Giving Rainforests
B．	The Law of the Jungle
C．	Animals in the Amazon
D．	Weather in Rainforests

In May 1987 the Golden Gate Bridge had a 50th birthday party. The bridge was closed to motor traffic so people could enjoy a walk across it. Organizers expected perhaps 50，000 people to show up. Instead， as many as 800，000 crowded the roads to the bridge. By the time 250，000 were on the bridge， engineers noticed something terrible： the roadway was flattening under what turned out to be the heaviest load it had ever been asked to carry. Worse， it was beginning to sway（晃动）. The authorities closed access to the bridge and tens of thousands of people made their way back to land. A disaster was avoided.

The story is one of scores in To Forgive Design： Understanding Failure， a book that is at once a love letter to engineering and a paean （赞歌） to its breakdowns. Its author， Dr. Henry Petroski， has long been writing about disasters. In this book， he includes the loss of the space shuttles （航天飞机） Challenger and Columbia， and the sinking of the Titanic.

Though he acknowledges that engineering works can fail because the person who thought them up or engineered them simply got things wrong， in this book Dr. Petroski widens his view to consider the larger context in which such failures occur. Sometimes devices fail because a good design is constructed with low quality materials incompetently applied. Or perhaps a design works so well it is adopted elsewhere again and again， with seemingly harmless improvements， until， suddenly， it does not work at all anymore.

Readers will encounter not only stories they have heard before， but some new stories and a moving discussion of the responsibility of the engineer to the public and the ways young engineers can be helped to grasp them.

"Success is success but that is all that it is，" Dr. Petroski writes. It is failure that brings improvement.

（1）What happened to the Golden Gate Bridge on its 50th birthday？ 　　

A．	It carried more weight than it could.
B．	It swayed violently in a strong wind.
C．	Its roadway was damaged by vehicles.
D．	Its access was blocked by many people.

（2）Which of the following is Dr. Petroski's idea according to paragraph 3？ 　　

A．	No design is well received everywhere.
B．	Construction is more important than design.
C．	Not all disasters are caused by engineering design.
D．	Improvements on engineering works are necessary.

（3）What does the last paragraph suggest？ 　　

A．	Failure can lead to progress.
B．	Success results in overconfidence.
C．	Failure should be avoided.
D．	Success comes from joint efforts.

（4）What is the text？ 　　

A．	A news report.
B．	A short story.
C．	A book review.
D．	A research article.
