I live in north Celebes which is near Philippines. Since early December 2010 most tropical regions have been frequently hit by rain. Just like my hometown, tropical regions only have two seasons, including the dry season that usually starts from April to September and the wet or rainy season which usually happens from October to March. But, it could be indeterminate. Sometimes the rainy season can come a month earlier or later. It can be prolonged(延长) even more than 4 months and so can the dry season. Even during the dry season, rain can occur several times in certain areas.

The prolonged dry season in tropical areas usually causes a lot of losses. It will be very harmful to local farmers, because most of the tropical areas are regions of the developing countries. Sometimes agricultural and plantation crops will be damaged because of so much dry land and the fact that the river used to flow the water for rice fields are also dry. Rain is very important for plants because rain contains many nutrients that plants are in great need of.

What’s more, if the prolonged rainy season arrives and then floods usually occur in certain areas of low lands. Even for the capital city of Jakarta floods have struck several times during the prolonged rainy season. In addition to floods, the rainy season can cause many diseases. During the dry season, diseases are usually caused by mosquitoes such as dengue fever. While in the rainy season, people who have the weak immune will be more easily attacked by some diseases such as flu, fever, diarrhea, and much more.

If you live in the other places and want to travel to the tropical regions, make sure that you have known much about the season and the effect for these months in which you want to travel as tourists. Only in that way, can you at least prepare to deal with tropical weather.

26. How long does the dry season usually last in the author’s hometown?

A. Four months. B. Five months. C. Six months. D. Seven months.

C．the growth of dry land??????????????????? D．the diseases in the dry season

29.We can learn from the passage that in the wet season, _____

A．the capital of Jakarta is flooded every year

B．more crops will die after being flooded for so long.

C．mosquitoes will spread more diseases among the crowd.

D．people with weak immune might be attacked by some diseases

Doha, the capital of Qatar，is a city of contrasts(对照). In a few decades it has been

transformed from a small port to an international city. Today, its skyline is shaped by rising skyscrapers, but Old Doha---though fast disappearing---can still be found.

Time seems to stand still in the old quarter of the city. On the dusty streets, Indian and Pakistani men sit cross-legged outside tea shops and restaurants. At one end of the road, men queue by the doorways of crowded supermarkets to buy necessities: boxes of teabags, milk, sugar, bread and soap. The shops are dark and poorly stocked. However, only five miles away, on the other side of the city, Doha shows a completely different image. It shines brilliantly with skyscrapers, five-star hotels and noble apartment buildings. The area looks like any other modem district in the world.

Qatar, a tiny gulf(海湾)nation, is a country of vast local and international ambitions. At home, it has owned several international universities. Abroad, it tries to speak louder on gulf affairs. These ambitions are urged by the country’s unbelievably rich reserves of fossil fuels．In December 2012, Daba was the site of Copl8 UN Climate Change Conference and in 2022，Qatar will host the World Cup.

Mohammed Salim, 55, runs a hair salon in the old part of the city where he works as a hair

dresser．When he came to Doha 22 years ago from Pakistan，he recalls，Doha was a quiet town with few modern buildings．“At that time，Doha seemed rather small．There were no big roads or malls at all.” He has noticed a drop in customers to his salon in recent years．“People now tend to go to more fashionable hair salons in shopping malls．Some day this old area will be gone, and my business will probably be gone, too．I'll be sad. I love here, but things are changing．We can’t ignore it.”

31．What makes Doha become a city of contrasts according to the passage?

A．The city’s old and modern districts． B．The modern city and the tiny country．

C．The city’s past and present conditions．D．The fashionable city and its poor citizens．

32．What do we know about the shops in the old quarter of Doha?

A．They don't have many goods or customers．

B．They provide a great variety of luxury goods．

C．They are bright big shops crowded with people．

D．They look poor and offer fewer choices of goods．

33．Qatar tries to speak louder on gulf affairs because______________.

A it has international cities such as Doha

B．it is going to host the World Cup in 2022

C．it has made progress in building universities

D．it is known for its large reserves of natural gas

34. The author takes the hair salon as an example to show that___________.
