Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
As kids，my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods.“The woods” was our part-time address，destination，purpose，and excuse.If I went to a friend’s house and found him not at home，his mother might say，“Oh，he’s out in the woods，” with a tone(语气)of airy acceptance.It’s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym，or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds，“being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索)．Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today.History seemed to be mostly about explorers.Our explorations，though，seemed to have less system than the historic kind：something usually came up along the way.Say we stayed in the woods，throwing rocks，shooting frogs，picking blackberries，digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial mound.
Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were.If you read a story in which someone does that successfully，be skeptical：the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight，and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees.There were four or five trees that we visited regularly—tall beeches，easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree，too，that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end.By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期)．In March，the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter，two friends and I set out to go exploring.We climbed a tree，and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really were rather big to be up in a tree.Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.
1．The author and his fiends were often out in the woods to _________.
A．spend their free time
B．play gold and other sports
C．avoid doing their schoolwork
D．keep away from their parents
解析：选A。事实细节题。由文章第一段第一、二两句可得到答案。
2．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．The activities in the woods were well planned.
B．Human history is not the result of exploration.
C．Exploration should be a systematic activity.
D．The author explored in the woods aimlessly.
解析：选D。推理判断题。由第二段第四句“但是我们的探索与历史上的相比不够系统，有些东西通常都是在沿途中偶然出现的”可知，作者探索是aimlessly(无目的的)。
3．The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A．calm B．doubtful
C．serious D．optimistic
解析：选B。猜测词义题。由画线词的后一句“最高的树枝通常太细以至于不能承重，所以我们从来不能爬到可以看到除了树以外的其它事物”。因此，爬到树上找出路是“不可信”的。
4．How does the author feel about his childhood?
A．Happy but short.
B．Lonely but memorable.
C．Boring and meaningless.
D．Long and unforgettable.
解析：选A。推理判断题。从全文看，作者在“树林”里过的很愉快，又由最后一段可知，当我们一部分人上了七年级之后。我们在“树林”中的玩耍就结束了。很短暂。因此，正确选项为A。
B
Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto.But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t，strictly speaking，even adults?
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival，tomorrow，in a setting any director might envy：Lincoln Center.Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards，the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers，except for the age of the participants：about 8 to 18.
“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids，” said Cori Gardner，managing director of Wingspan Arts，a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area.This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington，Virginia.“We want to make this a national event，” Ms.Gardner added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B．B.King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005.“A lot of the material is really mature，” Ms.Gardner said，talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project，a media arts and leadership-training group.“The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’(移民)feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown.These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures.

解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文章第三段a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area.一 句可知。选项A、C属于无中生有，与本文无关；选项D扩大了文章本意，应该是in the New York area，而不是national organization。
7．The underlined word “shorts” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A．short trousers B．short kids
C．short films D．short stories
解析：选C。词义猜测题。
8．Movies to be shown in the festival ________.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years.The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals.They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill.Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain.No one knows why they were painted there.Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories according to pictures.
About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing.They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas，and also to represent the sounds of their language.The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet(字母表)．
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together.When an important person died，scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried.Some of these pictures are like modern comicstrip stories.It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comicstrip.But，for the Egyptians，pictures still had magic power.So they did not try to make their way of writing simple.The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1000 BC，people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing.The signs they used were very easy to write，and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system.This was because each sign，or letter，represented only one sound in their language.The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet.The Romans copied the idea，and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.
These days we can write down a story，or record information，without using pictures.But we still need pictures of all kinds：drawings，photographs，signs and diagrams.We find them everywhere：in books and newspapers，in the streets，and on the walls of the places where we live and work.Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily，and they can make a story much more interesting.
1．Pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain because ________.
A．the hunters wanted to see the pictures
B．the painters were animal lovers
C．the painters wanted to show imagination
D．the pictures were thought to be helpful
解析：选D。细节题。由第一段倒数第二句Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.可知答案为D项。
2．The Greek alphabet was simpler than the Egyptian system for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.
A．the former was easy to write
B．there were fewer signs in the former
C．the former was easy to pronounce
D．each sign stood for only one sound
解析：选C。细节题。由文中分析我们知道，希腊的文字更容易读。
3．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．The Egyptian signs later became a particular alphabet.
B．The Egyptians liked to write comicstrip stories.
C．The Roman alphabet was developed from the Egyptian one.
D．The Greeks copied their writing system from the Egyptians.
解析：选A。推断题。根据第二、三、四段内容可知A项正确。
4．In the last paragraph，the author thinks that pictures________.
A．should be made comprehensible
B．should be made interesting
C．are of much use in our life
D．are disappearing from our life
解析：选C。细节题。从短文的最后一句我们可以得出此答案。
B
Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milk Way? While the trip sounds exciting，it would take years and years to reach your destination.So in the future，bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut-eye.They would have to sleep for years.
European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments.The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets.“If there was an effective technology，it could make deep-space travel a reality，” said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.
What_seems_like_science_fiction_is_not_completely_unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep-like state where they don’t age.They have now moved on to small，non-hibernating mammals like rats.The results will be out by the end of 2004.
A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems，whereas body organs are far more complex.
“It’s like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer，” said Marco Biggiogera，a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia.
Just like bears and frogs，the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism (新陈代谢)to lower so they would need less energy.
Medical research，however，is just half of a space flight hibernation system.
There is the challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter.Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation，such as the proper temperature.It would also have to monitor (监控)life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.
According to Ayre，the six-person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星)Callisto could be an opportunity to use human hibernation.The mission aims to send six humans on a five-year flight to Callisto，where they will spend 30 days，in 2045.
5．European researchers are conducting hibernation experiments to ________.
A．ensure astronauts to get a complete sleep
B．find the secret of some creatures
C．make preparations for the journey to Jupiter’s moon Callisto
D．know if man can sleep for years
解析：选D。由第二段第二句The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets.可知D项正确。
6．The sentence “What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely” means ________.
A．Science fiction is people’s imagination
B．Science fiction is imaginative，but it can be realized
C．Things that seem impossible may come true
D．Things described in science fiction are sure to become true
解析：选C。本句意是“看起来像科幻小说的事情并非完全不可能”。
7．The passage is implied but doesn’t states that ________.
A．putting living cells into a sleep-like state is full of failure
B．Biggiogera is confident with the experiment
C．human’s hibernation needs no energy
D．medical research is the key to space flight hibernation system
解析：选B。由第五段可知，其句意是“这就像把简单的苹果电脑变成超级电脑一样”，可以推测“只是一个时间问题，其过程可能复杂一些，但是可能性是存在的。”
8．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Six humans to fly to Callisto
B．Human hibernation improves health
C．Space travel attracts people
D．Deep sleep for deep space travel
解析：选D。文章主要围绕“为打发星际探索中的漫漫旅途，人类开始进行‘冬眠’技术的研究”。所以D项比较全面地概括了文章意思。
