三、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Both warm blooded and cold blooded desert animals have ways to escape the desert heat. Warm blooded desert animals,such as rats and mice,rest during the day,often staying in cool underground burrows. At night they search for food. Animals that are out during the day,such as cold blooded lizards and snakes,are active only for short periods. As their body temperature rises,these reptiles move into the shade in order to cool down. In the early evening,when the sun grows weaker,the reptiles become more active and begin their search for food again.
Getting enough water to survive is a major problem for all desert animals. Some desert animals,like desert birds,manage to find water holes. Other desert animals,such as the kangaroo rat and the related jerboa,get water only from the food that they eat. Because these animals eat mainly dry seeds,they must survive on a tiny amount of water.
Most deserts have only a small number of frogs and toads because these animals must be near water to survive. Yet even these creatures have adapted (适应) to desert conditions. When small amounts of water collect in temporary streams,the desert living frogs and toads become active. After a rainfall,they lay their eggs. The eggs grow into tadpoles in a few days and into adults in just four weeks,when the puddles dry up,the adult frogs or toads dig into the ground. Their metabolism (新陈代谢) slows,and they stay beneath the ground until the next rain,which may be as good as a year away. Until then,their bodily activities continue at a reduced rate.
The camel—often called the ship of the desert—is one of the most successful desert animals. Camels can go for long periods without water,but eventually they must drink. When water becomes available to them after a long drought,they may drink 95 liters of water or more. When water is not available,what helps camels survive the desert heat is the fat stored in their humps (驼峰). A camel's hump contains about 12 kilograms of fat. Fat is rich in hydrogen. As the fat is digested,hydrogen from the fat combines with oxygen in the air that the camel breathes. The result is H2O,or water. Each kilogram of fat that a camel digests produces about a liter of water.
31. Desert animals are usually more active at night because ________.
A. it is cooler at night B. it is easier to find water
C. they like the dark D. they are less likely to be attacked at night

A. Hot Deserts B. Desert Animals

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much,he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit,he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way,children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk,run,climb,whistle,ride a bicycle,compare (比较) their own performances with those of more skilled people,and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him,or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out,with the help of other children if he wants it,what this word says,what the answer is to that problem,whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answer,as it may be in mathemat ics or science,give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time to such routine work Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn,how to measure their own understanding,how to know what they know or do not know.

Having finished her homework,Ma Li wants some music for relaxation. As usual,she starts her computer and goes to to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs' copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright. Lawsuits have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005,a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on interact file sharing.
“Baidu's defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.
Like many teens,Huang Ruoru,an 18 year old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province,doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit,she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others’ work without paying.
However,other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei,a Senior 2 girl from Jinan,Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it,I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music,rather than pursuing file sharers.”

四、One possible version:
Depending on Ourselves
It is important to depend on ourselves. Many great men in history succeeded on their own. Although advice and help from others may be useful for us,we could only depend on our own efforts to achieve what we want.
Throughout our lives,we may face many difficulties and problems. We should mainly depend on ourselves to overcome them. Firstly,we could benefit from dealing with the problems. During the process,we may gain valuable experience which could increase our ability to solve problems. Furthermore,we could learn more about our own weak points and then find our ways to improve them. Secondly,nobody knows our problems better than we do. Even if people can provide advice,they might not think of the most effective way and finally solve the problems for us.
Therefore,in time of difficulty,it is the honest efforts of ourselves that we should ultimately rely upon. We should work with all our strength rather than wait for the help from others.
