(2010全国Ⅱ卷)
When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called“Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad's shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl，” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked(吠)or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.

You're late for a job interview when traffic slows to a crawl. At the supermarket, a customer wheeling a full cart cuts ahead of you in the checkout line. You spend months on a make it or break it project, and your lazy collegue lands the promotion. Feel that burn Before you explode with rage or fly into a fury, take a deep breath and remember this: Anger hurts. Study after study has found that high levels of anger and hostility(故意)are assocaited with greater risk for heart disease, poor immune(免疫)responses, and even a tendency for obesity(肥胖). Men with high anger scores were three times more likely to develop heart disease than their calmer companions, a Harvard School of Public Health study found. And in women, arguments with husbands raise hormone levels and lower immunity(免疫力)—a real problem, since lower immune response may increase women's risk of cancer.
It doesn't seem to matter whether you release the anger or hold it in, experts say. The effect on your health are the same. “Anger_is_anger，”says Redford williams, M．D，director of the Behavioral Medicine Research Center at Duke University Medical Center and co author of the book Life Skills, “Both are harmful to health.”
The good news is, it is possible to control your anger. “By evaluating it and using various techniques, you can talk yourself out of it，” Williams says，“That's what's nice about us humans: We can always do something or not do something to change our behavior.”
40．From the passage we learn that________.
A．people who easily get angry are more likely to suffer from some diseases than cheerful ones
B．calmer people suffer from some diseases easily
C．men suffer more from high levels of anger and hostility than woman
D．high levels of anger and hostility will unavoidably result in heart disease, obesity and cancer
41．According to Redford Williams，“Anger is anger”means that________.
A．anger is harmful to your health
B．one should release anger for the sake of health
C．one should hold in anger for the sake of health
D．anger is harmful in spite of its different forms of expression
42．“Talk yourself out of it”in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________.
A．talking to yourself helps you control your feeling
B．talking helps you hold in your anger
C．persuade yourself not to get angry
D．control your anger by talking to yourself
43．What is the best title for the passage
A．Anger Is Anger.
B．Releasing Anger or Holding It in.
C．Controlling Anger before It Controls You.
D．Anger, a big killer.

(2010浙江卷)
When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.
“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.”She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes(条纹)of colors across the pavement(人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors' trees, but this! Come inside right now！”I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted(侮辱)my art.
“Now go clean it up！”Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.
44．What did the writer want to do when his mother came home
A．To introduce Stephanie to her.
B．To prevent her from seeing his painting.
C．To put the materials back in the yard.
D．To show his artwork to her.
45．In his mother's eyes, the writer________.
A．was a born artist
B．always caused trouble
C．was a problem solver
D．worked very hard
46．The underlined word“rainbow”in the last paragraph refers to________.

D．important lessons learned in childhood
47．It can be learned from the passage that parents should______.

D．protect rather than destory children's dreams

Millions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year, but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free corn by the US, the government politely said no.
“We don't know whether the food is safe，”said Zambia's Commerce, Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel.
His worries are shared by counries around the world that are in_two_minds about America's genetically modified(GM，转基因)crops. Just last week, EU member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US.
Ever since people started farming they have tried to crossbreed(杂交)plants to make them stronger or better tasting. At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other.
But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.
This means they can make crops more productive and resistant(有抵抗力的)to disease by adding genes from other species. They can also create food with speicial characteristics, such as“golden rice” which is enriched with vitamin A. But many people believe GM foods are a health risk.
“If left to me, I would certainly not eat GM foods”， said Scotish scientist Arpad Pusztai. “We are putting new things into food which haven't been eaten before. The effects on the immune system(免疫系统)are not easy to predict.”
At the moment, the official argument is that GM foods，“are not likely to present risks for human health”. But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways.
Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops.
文章大意：每年有数百万非洲人死于饥饿，但是赞比亚拒绝了美国无偿赞助的玉米，这是为什么？原来那是美国生产的转基因食品。世界上有很多人对这种食品持怀疑态度。
48．We learn from the passage that________.
A．people have discovered that GM foods will do harm to human health
B．millions of Zambia people die of eating too much GM foods
C．people are still not sure if GM foods will do harm to human health
D．genetic material added to plants will damage our bodies sooner or later
49．The underlined words“in two minds” in the third paragraph means“________”．
A．unsure B．worried
C．likely D．careless
50．Which of the following statements is NOT true about GM foods
A．It is produced from plants with added genes from other species.
B．GM foods can have special characteristics.
C．GM foods will affect people's immune system.
D．GM techniques have been developed since 1970s.
51．What the author's attitude towards GM foods
A．Supportive. B．Neutral.
C．Doubtful. D．Critical
E
The Atlantic Ocean is one of the ocean that separate in the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the Americans from being discovered by the people of Europe.
Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into it. One idea was that it reached out to“the edge of the world”. Sailors were afraid that they might sail right of the earth. Another idea was that at the equator the ocean would be boiling hot.
The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles(3,200km)wide.
Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large on ocean it has very few islands. Also, it is the world's saltiest ocean.
There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers. It would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up. On the average the water is a little more than two miles(3.2km)keep, but in places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico. This“deep”meaures 30,246 feet—almost six miles(9.6km)．
One of the largest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range north and south down the middle of the ocean.
The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands.
Several hundred miles eastward from Florida there is a part of the ocean called the Sargasso Sea. Here the water is quiet, for there is little winds. In the days of sailing vessels the crew were afraid they would be becalmed here. Sometimes they were.
Today the Atlantic is a great highway. It is however, not always a smooth and safe one. Storms sweep across it and pile up great waves. Icebergs float down from the Far North across the paths of ships.
We now have such fast ways of traveling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller. Columbus sailed for more than two months to across it. A fast modern steam ship can make the trip in less than four days. Airplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from South America to Africa in four!
文章大意：本文是篇说明文。全文讲述了大西洋与众不同的方面以及人类探索大西洋的历史。最初人们对大西洋的错误认识以及一些不合实际的传说阻止了人们对大西洋的探索，然而现代交通工具的出现使得人们能够发现大西洋许多与众不同的地方。
52．Which world is the Old World

C．Asia. D．All of the three above.
53．What caused people to be unwilling to explore the Atlantic
A．There are no ships big enough to get across the Ocean.
B．Sailors were afraid of being lost in the Ocean.
C．The Atlantic Ocean was very unusual because it has few island and saltiest water.
D．Many incorrect ideas made people think the Ocean was full of danger.

2答案：D manage在此意思是“能对付；能应付”。
3答案：C 本题题意：我们既要坚持原则，又要具有灵活性。flexible表示“灵活的”。
4答案：D 本题题意：别让人牵着鼻子走，要自己判断行事，该做得才做。judgement表示“判断”。
5答案：B decide on/upon“决定”。
6答案：A 由句意知用现在完成时；而且“more than one＋单数可数名词”做主语时，谓语用单数。
7答案：D 句意：说实话，我不习惯被这样对待。be accustomed to“习惯于……”中to是介词，后跟V ing形式作宾语。
8答案：A would like后接不定式；而feel like后接doing。
9答案：C quit后接名词或动名词作宾语。
10答案：B be addicted to doing sth.“对……上瘾”。句意：他看武侠片上瘾了。

14答案：D nor does John＝John never does any reading in the evening too。
15答案：A 本题题意：有些人担心空气污染会使全球气候发生变化。air pollution表示“空气污染”，为抽象名词。在英语中，三类词前不加冠词：泛指意义的复数名词，不可数名词(物质名词和抽象名词)以及专有名词。在名词weather后跟有担任定语的介词短语around the world，表示“特指”，须和the连用。
16答案：D 根据下文中的“never leaving him alone for years”可知，在他出车祸后，他弟弟成了他的影子(shadow)，多年来从没有让他独自一人生活。assistant“助手”；tutor“家庭教师”；example“榜样”；均不符合句意。
17答案：B 根据下文第三段中“They were both asked to write something on a piece of paper...”可知，除了用脚趾写字(writing)之外，他什么都不会，也说明了他完全依赖于自己的弟弟。
18答案：A 依据“they had their own problems”可知，此处表示“他们难免会发生争吵(quarrel)”。share“分享”；communicate“交流”；disagree“不同意”；均不符合语境。
19答案：D 弟弟离开了他，当然会让他感到伤心。故答案选D。desperate“绝望的”；embarrassed“窘迫的；不安的”；interrupted“中断的；被阻止的”；heartbroken“伤心的”。
20答案：C 此处承接上文，引出另外一个相似的例子。此题容易错误选A“不幸地”；考生做此题时应该从作者的意图分析，作者旨在对比两人有着相同的不幸遭遇却对人生有着不同的态度，因此应选C，意为“相似地；同样地”；unexpectedly“出人意料地”；coincidentally“巧合地”；均不符合句意。
21答案：B 根据上下文可知，作者引出了与上文所提到的事例相似的例子，可知这个女孩应是在火灾中失去了双手，在下文中也有说明。
22答案：D 根据下文中的“Most of all she learned to be self reliant”可知，女孩拒绝了姐姐要帮她的提议。因此选D。turn down“拒绝”；turn off“关掉”；appreciate“感激；欣赏”；accept“接受；认可”；均不符合句意。
23答案：C 根据后句“Most of all she learned to be self reliant”中的self reliant“自力更生的”可知，应选independent“独立的”与之相呼应。
24答案：D 根据下文中的“my heart can still fly”和第三段末尾“Broken wings, flying heart”可知，此处为比喻义，把双手比作翅膀。
25答案：A 根据下文中的“The boy told the television hostess...”可知，两人应邀参加电视采访(interview)节目。
26答案：A 根据上下文可知，两人对待生活和苦难的态度是不一样的，女孩对未来充满信心，而男孩对未来感到不确定、没信心。uncertain“不确定的；不可预测的”；unfair“不公平的”；unsteady“不安定的；反复无常的”；unbearable“无法忍受的”。
27答案：B 根据上下文对女孩的描述可知，女孩对生活的态度应是积极的、乐观的，因此应该选enthusiasm，意为“热情”。
28答案：C 根据上文内容可知，两人都失去了双手，只能用脚趾写字。
29答案：B 联系上下文可知，两人的遭遇相似，但不同的人生态度决定了两人的生活性质。character“性格”；attitude“态度”；opinion“看法，意见”；ambition“雄心”。
30答案：A 根据常识和上下文可知，不可预知的(unpredictable)生活随时会有灾难降临。passive“消极的”；rough“粗糙的；令人不舒服的；粗暴的”；messy“脏乱的”；均不符合句意。
31答案：B emergency“紧急事件；突发事件”；misfortune“不幸；灾难”；difficulty“困难；难点”；defeat“击败；战胜”；联系上下文可知，这里应是指如何面对生活中的灾难，与上文的disasters相对应。
32答案：A 作者提出自己的观点，认为灾难是对一个人性格的考验(test)。reflection“反射；反映”；display“陈列；展览”；challenge“挑战”；均不符合句意。
33答案：C ignore“忽视”；resist“抵制；反抗”；complain“抱怨”；suffer“遭受；忍受”。根据下文可知，作者提出了对待人生的两种不同的态度：一种是抱怨或者逃避灾难，那么灾难会永远追随你；一种是勇敢地面对灾难，那么灾难会转化成一种财富。
34答案：D accident“事故；意外”；disability“无能；残疾”；failure“失败”；hardship“困苦；艰难”。联系上文的“disasters”和“misfortune”可知，这里指的是生活中遇到的苦难。
35答案：C solution“解答；解决方法”；expectation“期望；期待”；hope“希望”；reward“报酬；奖金”。
36答案：B 第一段“she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them”暗示出它的表现方式，选择B。keep them company(陪伴他们)。
37答案：B 从第二段结尾句“she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes”可以推断出它为做错的事感到悲伤。
38答案：C 通过全文的理解，以及倒数第二段的提示 “There were many times when….”可以推断出它为人们所喜爱。
39答案：A 根据“Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth.”可知。
40答案：A 细节理解题。由第一段中间可知B、C错误；D过于绝对，第一段最后提到的cancer只是一种可能性。
41答案：D 语义理解题。由第二段中“The effects on your health are the same.”生气对你健康的影响是相同的，可知D项正确。
42答案：C 细节推断题。由文章最后一段中“By evaluating it and using various techniques, you can talk yourself out of it，”可知，作者劝告人们要努力控制，不要让自己发火。选项C的表述与原文意思最接近。talk在此处的意思并不是“谈话”。
43答案：C 主旨归纳题。据研究表明：生气将会危及我们的身体健康。因此，尽力控制你的愤怒情绪，那是能够做到的。
44答案：D 根据第四段“I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece.”可知我当时想把自己的杰作给母亲看。所以选择D项。
45答案：B 根据第五、六段可以推断出，母亲特别反感作者的一些行为，所以很生气，认为她是一个麻烦制造者。
46答案：C 根据最后一段作者的感慨“to keep our hopes and dreams colorful”，可以推断，此时作者提到的rainbow不是指自己曾经画过的街道上的彩虹，而是指自己人生中的彩虹。
47答案：D 从整篇文章初始叙述作者的开心画彩虹的过程，被母亲要求把街道清洗干净，到最后的感慨，表明作者写作的目的是：父母应该支持孩子的某些创造性的行为，而不是一味的否定。
48答案：C 推理判断题。文中只是列举了很多人对转基因食品持怀疑态度，并没有科学结论证明它对身体健康有害，故A项排除；短文第一句就点明了赞比亚拒绝了美国的转基因玉米，因此不可能有数百万人死于食用转基因食品，B项错误；根据文章倒数第二段可推知D项也是一些人的怀疑。通读短文，我们就会发现很多人对这种食品的态度：不接受。
49答案：A 词义猜测题。拒绝接受美国的无偿赞助，当然对转基因食品抱怀疑态度，即“不确定”。故选A。其余三项“担忧”；“可能”；“粗心的”；均不符合文意。
50答案：C 推理判断题。短文倒数第三段最后一句话“The effects on the immune system(免疫系统)are not easy to predict.”是解题的关键，即对转基因食品是否危害健康还没有定论。文中叙述只是人们的担心，不是事实，故C不正确。由第六段第一、二句可知A、B两项正确，由第五段可知D项正确。
51答案：B 作者意图题。综观全文，作者只是客观地叙述了很多人和国家的态度和看法，自己并没有发表任何见解，故应该是持中立态度。从文中看不出作者有“支持”；“怀疑”或是“批判”的态度。因此B选项正确。
52答案：D 推理判断题。文章第一句“大西洋是分隔新旧大陆的大洋之一”，“新大陆”是指“美洲大陆”。根据常识推断，最佳答案为D。
53答案：D 细节理解题。从文章的第二段的介绍可知，过去人们认为大西洋“reached out to‘the edge of the world’. Sailors were afraid that they might sail right of the earth. Another idea was that at the equator the ocean would be boiling hot.”，所以不愿去探索大西洋。
54答案：C 主旨大意题。第五段的第一句话是该段的中心句。该段从水深方面和假设的情况介绍了大西洋水量之多。其他选项是该段的细节并不能够概括该段的大意。
55答案：D 词义理解题。从第九段可以看出，作者讲述了穿越大西洋以及过去与现在所需的时间，因此我们可以知道，highway在此意为“水上交通要道”，故答案为D。

What an interesting picture it is! Sitting before a plate of zongzi, the boy is at a complete loss of how to unwrap them and eventually turns to a book for instructions! The picture is trying to convince us of a fact that many of the young are losing their basic hands on ability in everyday life.
Many factors contribute to this phenomenon. Firstly, many children have been forced to focus on their school work only, having little or no space to experience things in real life. Secondly, parents are over protective. They take over almost all their children's life. Thirdly, the Internet and certain books provide actually everything we need. It is not surprising for children to develop dependence on them for help.
From where I stand, giving children chances to do things for themselves is the only remedy. Anyway, nobody can learn to swim without jumping into water.

(2010全国Ⅱ卷)
When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called“Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad's shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl，” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked(吠)or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.

You're late for a job interview when traffic slows to a crawl. At the supermarket, a customer wheeling a full cart cuts ahead of you in the checkout line. You spend months on a make it or break it project, and your lazy collegue lands the promotion. Feel that burn Before you explode with rage or fly into a fury, take a deep breath and remember this: Anger hurts. Study after study has found that high levels of anger and hostility(故意)are assocaited with greater risk for heart disease, poor immune(免疫)responses, and even a tendency for obesity(肥胖). Men with high anger scores were three times more likely to develop heart disease than their calmer companions, a Harvard School of Public Health study found. And in women, arguments with husbands raise hormone levels and lower immunity(免疫力)—a real problem, since lower immune response may increase women's risk of cancer.
It doesn't seem to matter whether you release the anger or hold it in, experts say. The effect on your health are the same. “Anger_is_anger，”says Redford williams, M．D，director of the Behavioral Medicine Research Center at Duke University Medical Center and co author of the book Life Skills, “Both are harmful to health.”
The good news is, it is possible to control your anger. “By evaluating it and using various techniques, you can talk yourself out of it，” Williams says，“That's what's nice about us humans: We can always do something or not do something to change our behavior.”
40．From the passage we learn that________.
A．people who easily get angry are more likely to suffer from some diseases than cheerful ones
B．calmer people suffer from some diseases easily
C．men suffer more from high levels of anger and hostility than woman
D．high levels of anger and hostility will unavoidably result in heart disease, obesity and cancer
41．According to Redford Williams，“Anger is anger”means that________.
A．anger is harmful to your health
B．one should release anger for the sake of health
C．one should hold in anger for the sake of health
D．anger is harmful in spite of its different forms of expression
42．“Talk yourself out of it”in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________.
A．talking to yourself helps you control your feeling
B．talking helps you hold in your anger
C．persuade yourself not to get angry
D．control your anger by talking to yourself
43．What is the best title for the passage
A．Anger Is Anger.
B．Releasing Anger or Holding It in.
C．Controlling Anger before It Controls You.
D．Anger, a big killer.

(2010浙江卷)
When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.
“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.”She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes(条纹)of colors across the pavement(人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors' trees, but this! Come inside right now！”I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted(侮辱)my art.
“Now go clean it up！”Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.
44．What did the writer want to do when his mother came home
A．To introduce Stephanie to her.
B．To prevent her from seeing his painting.
C．To put the materials back in the yard.
D．To show his artwork to her.

Millions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year, but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free corn by the US, the government politely said no.
“We don't know whether the food is safe，”said Zambia's Commerce, Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel.
His worries are shared by counries around the world that are in_two_minds about America's genetically modified(GM，转基因)crops. Just last week, EU member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US.
Ever since people started farming they have tried to crossbreed(杂交)plants to make them stronger or better tasting. At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other.
But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.
This means they can make crops more productive and resistant(有抵抗力的)to disease by adding genes from other species. They can also create food with speicial characteristics, such as“golden rice” which is enriched with vitamin A. But many people believe GM foods are a health risk.
“If left to me, I would certainly not eat GM foods”， said Scotish scientist Arpad Pusztai. “We are putting new things into food which haven't been eaten before. The effects on the immune system(免疫系统)are not easy to predict.”
At the moment, the official argument is that GM foods，“are not likely to present risks for human health”. But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways.
Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops.
文章大意：每年有数百万非洲人死于饥饿，但是赞比亚拒绝了美国无偿赞助的玉米，这是为什么？原来那是美国生产的转基因食品。世界上有很多人对这种食品持怀疑态度。
48．We learn from the passage that________.
A．people have discovered that GM foods will do harm to human health
B．millions of Zambia people die of eating too much GM foods
C．people are still not sure if GM foods will do harm to human health
D．genetic material added to plants will damage our bodies sooner or later
49．The underlined words“in two minds” in the third paragraph means“________”．
A．unsure B．worried
C．likely D．careless
50．Which of the following statements is NOT true about GM foods
A．It is produced from plants with added genes from other species.
B．GM foods can have special characteristics.
C．GM foods will affect people's immune system.
D．GM techniques have been developed since 1970s.
51．What the author's attitude towards GM foods
A．Supportive. B．Neutral.
C．Doubtful. D．Critical
E
The Atlantic Ocean is one of the ocean that separate in the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the Americans from being discovered by the people of Europe.
Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into it. One idea was that it reached out to“the edge of the world”. Sailors were afraid that they might sail right of the earth. Another idea was that at the equator the ocean would be boiling hot.
The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles(3,200km)wide.
Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large on ocean it has very few islands. Also, it is the world's saltiest ocean.
There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers. It would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up. On the average the water is a little more than two miles(3.2km)keep, but in places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico. This“deep”meaures 30,246 feet—almost six miles(9.6km)．
One of the largest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range north and south down the middle of the ocean.
The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands.
Several hundred miles eastward from Florida there is a part of the ocean called the Sargasso Sea. Here the water is quiet, for there is little winds. In the days of sailing vessels the crew were afraid they would be becalmed here. Sometimes they were.
Today the Atlantic is a great highway. It is however, not always a smooth and safe one. Storms sweep across it and pile up great waves. Icebergs float down from the Far North across the paths of ships.
We now have such fast ways of traveling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller. Columbus sailed for more than two months to across it. A fast modern steam ship can make the trip in less than four days. Airplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from South America to Africa in four!
文章大意：本文是篇说明文。全文讲述了大西洋与众不同的方面以及人类探索大西洋的历史。最初人们对大西洋的错误认识以及一些不合实际的传说阻止了人们对大西洋的探索，然而现代交通工具的出现使得人们能够发现大西洋许多与众不同的地方。
52．Which world is the Old World

C．Asia. D．All of the three above.
53．What caused people to be unwilling to explore the Atlantic

B．Sailors were afraid of being lost in the Ocean.

7答案：D 句意：说实话，我不习惯被这样对待。be accustomed to“习惯于……”中to是介词，后跟V ing形式作宾语。
8答案：A would like后接不定式；而feel like后接doing。
9答案：C quit后接名词或动名词作宾语。

14答案：D nor does John＝John never does any reading in the evening too。
15答案：A 本题题意：有些人担心空气污染会使全球气候发生变化。air pollution表示“空气污染”，为抽象名词。在英语中，三类词前不加冠词：泛指意义的复数名词，不可数名词(物质名词和抽象名词)以及专有名词。在名词weather后跟有担任定语的介词短语around the world，表示“特指”，须和the连用。
16答案：D 根据下文中的“never leaving him alone for years”可知，在他出车祸后，他弟弟成了他的影子(shadow)，多年来从没有让他独自一人生活。assistant“助手”；tutor“家庭教师”；example“榜样”；均不符合句意。
17答案：B 根据下文第三段中“They were both asked to write something on a piece of paper...”可知，除了用脚趾写字(writing)之外，他什么都不会，也说明了他完全依赖于自己的弟弟。
18答案：A 依据“they had their own problems”可知，此处表示“他们难免会发生争吵(quarrel)”。share“分享”；communicate“交流”；disagree“不同意”；均不符合语境。
19答案：D 弟弟离开了他，当然会让他感到伤心。故答案选D。desperate“绝望的”；embarrassed“窘迫的；不安的”；interrupted“中断的；被阻止的”；heartbroken“伤心的”。
20答案：C 此处承接上文，引出另外一个相似的例子。此题容易错误选A“不幸地”；考生做此题时应该从作者的意图分析，作者旨在对比两人有着相同的不幸遭遇却对人生有着不同的态度，因此应选C，意为“相似地；同样地”；unexpectedly“出人意料地”；coincidentally“巧合地”；均不符合句意。
21答案：B 根据上下文可知，作者引出了与上文所提到的事例相似的例子，可知这个女孩应是在火灾中失去了双手，在下文中也有说明。
22答案：D 根据下文中的“Most of all she learned to be self reliant”可知，女孩拒绝了姐姐要帮她的提议。因此选D。turn down“拒绝”；turn off“关掉”；appreciate“感激；欣赏”；accept“接受；认可”；均不符合句意。
23答案：C 根据后句“Most of all she learned to be self reliant”中的self reliant“自力更生的”可知，应选independent“独立的”与之相呼应。
24答案：D 根据下文中的“my heart can still fly”和第三段末尾“Broken wings, flying heart”可知，此处为比喻义，把双手比作翅膀。
25答案：A 根据下文中的“The boy told the television hostess...”可知，两人应邀参加电视采访(interview)节目。
26答案：A 根据上下文可知，两人对待生活和苦难的态度是不一样的，女孩对未来充满信心，而男孩对未来感到不确定、没信心。uncertain“不确定的；不可预测的”；unfair“不公平的”；unsteady“不安定的；反复无常的”；unbearable“无法忍受的”。
27答案：B 根据上下文对女孩的描述可知，女孩对生活的态度应是积极的、乐观的，因此应该选enthusiasm，意为“热情”。
28答案：C 根据上文内容可知，两人都失去了双手，只能用脚趾写字。
29答案：B 联系上下文可知，两人的遭遇相似，但不同的人生态度决定了两人的生活性质。character“性格”；attitude“态度”；opinion“看法，意见”；ambition“雄心”。
30答案：A 根据常识和上下文可知，不可预知的(unpredictable)生活随时会有灾难降临。passive“消极的”；rough“粗糙的；令人不舒服的；粗暴的”；messy“脏乱的”；均不符合句意。
31答案：B emergency“紧急事件；突发事件”；misfortune“不幸；灾难”；difficulty“困难；难点”；defeat“击败；战胜”；联系上下文可知，这里应是指如何面对生活中的灾难，与上文的disasters相对应。
32答案：A 作者提出自己的观点，认为灾难是对一个人性格的考验(test)。reflection“反射；反映”；display“陈列；展览”；challenge“挑战”；均不符合句意。
33答案：C ignore“忽视”；resist“抵制；反抗”；complain“抱怨”；suffer“遭受；忍受”。根据下文可知，作者提出了对待人生的两种不同的态度：一种是抱怨或者逃避灾难，那么灾难会永远追随你；一种是勇敢地面对灾难，那么灾难会转化成一种财富。
34答案：D accident“事故；意外”；disability“无能；残疾”；failure“失败”；hardship“困苦；艰难”。联系上文的“disasters”和“misfortune”可知，这里指的是生活中遇到的苦难。
35答案：C solution“解答；解决方法”；expectation“期望；期待”；hope“希望”；reward“报酬；奖金”。

39答案：A 根据“Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth.”可知。
40答案：A 细节理解题。由第一段中间可知B、C错误；D过于绝对，第一段最后提到的cancer只是一种可能性。
41答案：D 语义理解题。由第二段中“The effects on your health are the same.”生气对你健康的影响是相同的，可知D项正确。
42答案：C 细节推断题。由文章最后一段中“By evaluating it and using various techniques, you can talk yourself out of it，”可知，作者劝告人们要努力控制，不要让自己发火。选项C的表述与原文意思最接近。talk在此处的意思并不是“谈话”。
43答案：C 主旨归纳题。据研究表明：生气将会危及我们的身体健康。因此，尽力控制你的愤怒情绪，那是能够做到的。
44答案：D 根据第四段“I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece.”可知我当时想把自己的杰作给母亲看。所以选择D项。
45答案：B 根据第五、六段可以推断出，母亲特别反感作者的一些行为，所以很生气，认为她是一个麻烦制造者。
46答案：C 根据最后一段作者的感慨“to keep our hopes and dreams colorful”，可以推断，此时作者提到的rainbow不是指自己曾经画过的街道上的彩虹，而是指自己人生中的彩虹。
47答案：D 从整篇文章初始叙述作者的开心画彩虹的过程，被母亲要求把街道清洗干净，到最后的感慨，表明作者写作的目的是：父母应该支持孩子的某些创造性的行为，而不是一味的否定。
48答案：C 推理判断题。文中只是列举了很多人对转基因食品持怀疑态度，并没有科学结论证明它对身体健康有害，故A项排除；短文第一句就点明了赞比亚拒绝了美国的转基因玉米，因此不可能有数百万人死于食用转基因食品，B项错误；根据文章倒数第二段可推知D项也是一些人的怀疑。通读短文，我们就会发现很多人对这种食品的态度：不接受。
49答案：A 词义猜测题。拒绝接受美国的无偿赞助，当然对转基因食品抱怀疑态度，即“不确定”。故选A。其余三项“担忧”；“可能”；“粗心的”；均不符合文意。
50答案：C 推理判断题。短文倒数第三段最后一句话“The effects on the immune system(免疫系统)are not easy to predict.”是解题的关键，即对转基因食品是否危害健康还没有定论。文中叙述只是人们的担心，不是事实，故C不正确。由第六段第一、二句可知A、B两项正确，由第五段可知D项正确。
51答案：B 作者意图题。综观全文，作者只是客观地叙述了很多人和国家的态度和看法，自己并没有发表任何见解，故应该是持中立态度。从文中看不出作者有“支持”；“怀疑”或是“批判”的态度。因此B选项正确。
52答案：D 推理判断题。文章第一句“大西洋是分隔新旧大陆的大洋之一”，“新大陆”是指“美洲大陆”。根据常识推断，最佳答案为D。
53答案：D 细节理解题。从文章的第二段的介绍可知，过去人们认为大西洋“reached out to‘the edge of the world’. Sailors were afraid that they might sail right of the earth. Another idea was that at the equator the ocean would be boiling hot.”，所以不愿去探索大西洋。
54答案：C 主旨大意题。第五段的第一句话是该段的中心句。该段从水深方面和假设的情况介绍了大西洋水量之多。其他选项是该段的细节并不能够概括该段的大意。
55答案：D 词义理解题。从第九段可以看出，作者讲述了穿越大西洋以及过去与现在所需的时间，因此我们可以知道，highway在此意为“水上交通要道”，故答案为D。
[参考范文]
What an interesting picture it is! Sitting before a plate of zongzi, the boy is at a complete loss of how to unwrap them and eventually turns to a book for instructions! The picture is trying to convince us of a fact that many of the young are losing their basic hands on ability in everyday life.
Many factors contribute to this phenomenon. Firstly, many children have been forced to focus on their school work only, having little or no space to experience things in real life. Secondly, parents are over protective. They take over almost all their children's life. Thirdly, the Internet and certain books provide actually everything we need. It is not surprising for children to develop dependence on them for help.
From where I stand, giving children chances to do things for themselves is the only remedy. Anyway, nobody can learn to swim without jumping into water.
