The warmth of the land heats the air above, causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain. The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year. This wet, warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow, so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round. The trees themselves also have an effect on the climate. They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves. The wet air then forms clouds, which hang over the treetops like smoke. These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and nighttime cold of nearby deserts, keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm, but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls. Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon (雨季) begins. Thus these areas are known as the “monsoon forest” Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains. It is often called the “cloud forest”because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees. Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds. When the fruits are eaten, the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals stomachs and are passed out in their droppings. The seeds lying on the forest floor then grow into new trees.1The climate of the rain forests near the equator is _.A. mild, wet and windyB. hot, rainy and foggyC. hot, wet and cloudyD. warm, wet and sunny2We can learn from the passage that _.A. tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forestB. there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains- 2 -C. clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to growD. the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees3According to the passage, _ play the most important role in spreading of seeds.A. animals B. droppingsC. fruits D. winds4This passage is most likely to be found in _.A. a travel guide B. a story bookC. a technical report D. a geography book1D。这是一道推断题。根据第一段第四句“This wet, warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow”可知赤道附近热带雨林的气候是温暖、潮湿、光照强烈的。2C。这是一道推断题。根据第一段最后一句“These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and nighttime cold of nearby deserts, keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.”可知这些云给沙漠的植物创造合适的温度来帮助它们生长。3A。这是一道推断题。根据最后一段第二句“Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds.”可知植物依靠动物吃掉它们的果实来传播种子。4D。这是一道推理题。本文主要介绍了不同地区的热带雨林的情况和它们的生存方式，所以可能会在地理书上读到这篇文章。*结束第二节：完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 l 分，满分 20 分）It was raining.
