Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, we have a new place to enjoy ourselves, to find the information and to communicate with the other people. Some people think that the Internet will certainly take the place of the traditional library in future.
Surely enough, the Internet gives us great convenience in our life. It is much easier for us to find any book that we need with the help of the search engine. It seems that the Internet can hold much more books than a big library.
But I should say that I love the Internet and love the library as well. Only because I can enjoy the atmosphere of the library. And book reading can give me a different taste and a better experience. So I will still go to the library after we have the global Internet.
18．What advantages are mentioned about book reading in the library
A．A better experience and a different taste.
B．More convenient and quicker.
C．Saving a lot of money and time.

A
I was hired for my first airline job in August, 2009.I had DS| 45,000 of credit card debt.Most of it was from my flight training.
Ten years ago, I was watching TV in my bedroom one day before my flight training began and I saw the second airplane hit the World Trade Center.Then I got the call saying I no longer had a job.My career was destroyed.I had no place to go and ended up moving into my car.I read newspapers to look for a job and I was offered one, which offered me DS| 75,000 a year.But I decided to make a change.I wanted to receive flight training and become a pilot.It was my dream.So I refused the job and chose to work part time.It sounded unbelievable to do such a thing.It was even more so because I was over the age of thirty, but I was determined to make my dream come true.I left the state of Virginia and ended up in Las Vegas.
Though I made about DS| 25,000 a year at that time, I was severely in debt because the fees for training were high.I was living in my truck and sleeping in parking garages.I didn't plan for my life to take this direction, but I insisted on my training.Then at last my world changed and my dream came true.I finally became a pilot.
The passengers that I flew had more money in their pocket than I had in the bank.I hated myself and was worried about my situation, but I never gave up.I kept paying back the debt and I kept saving in the bank.And finally, I paid off my credit card debt.
Today, I am a skilled airline pilot based in Milwaukee.I wrote in my spare time.My autobiography (自传) has been published, which sells well.That is my first book, but it won't be my last one.
56．Why did the writer refuse the job
A．Because he didn't like it.
B．Because the pay was low.
C．Because he wanted to follow his dream.
D．Because he was frightened to work in a building.
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段的“But I decided to make a change.I wanted to receive flight training and become a pilot.It was my dream.So I refused the job”可知，作者是因为要去追逐自己的梦想才放弃那份工作的。
57．We learn that during the flight training, the writer ______.
A．wanted to give up
B．lived a very hard life
C．didn't make any money
D．paid off his credit card debt
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第三段“I was severely in debt because the fees for training were high.I was living in my truck and sleeping in parking garages.”可推断在接受飞行员培训阶段，作者的生活非常艰苦。
58．We can know from the passage that now the writer ______.
A．regrets his decision
B．is a professional writer
C．is a very good airline pilot
D．makes about DS| 75,000 a year
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据末段的“Today, I am a skilled airline pilot based in Milwaukee.”可知应选C。
59．We can infer the writer wrote this passage most probably to ________.
A．tell us how to become successful
B．encourage us to follow our dream
C．tell us how to become an airplane pilot
D．tell us about the life of an airplane pilot
解析：选B。作者意图题。作者主要给我们讲述了他追求梦想并最终实现了自己的梦想的故事，故可推断他主要是想通过自身的故事激励我们去实现我们的梦想。
B
Dirty language, curse (诅咒) words, swearing.These are all ways of describing words people consider socially unacceptable.But such words are commonly said after a painful injury.So, do they serve a purpose in reducing physical pain That is what researchers in Britain set out to discover.
Psychologist Richard Stephens wondered if using curse words truly helped people reduce physical pain.To test the theory, he asked more than 60 college students to take part in an experiment.
The students were asked to write down five words they might say after injuring their finger.One of the words was chosen as their swear word.The students were also asked to choose five words they might use to describe another object: a table.These words were their control words.
The students were then asked to hold their hand in freezing water for as long as they could.While holding their hand underwater, they were asked to repeat a swear word.Then they repeated the experiment using their control words instead.
The researchers found a link between swearing and an increased ability to deal with pain.When students repeated a swear word, they were able to hold their hand longer in the cold water.They said they experienced less pain when using swear words.
The experiment showed that swearing caused people's heart rate to increase, which permits the body to experience or ignore pain better.It also found interesting differences between men and women.The heart rate of both men and women increased.Yet swearing had a greater effect on women.
It is unclear to scientists exactly how swearing affects physical reactions to pain.Professor Stephens believes that swearing activates a different part of the brain than normal language.He says more experiments on different kinds of pain are needed to better understand the effect of swearing.
The researchers note that swear words have existed for hundreds of years.Their findings offer one reason why the custom of cursing may have continued for so long.Swear words are said with emotion.For that reason, the more someone swears, the less of an effect the words have.
60．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A．Using Curse Words Can Reduce Physical Pain
B．People Consider Curse Words Socially Unacceptable
C．Dirty Language Is Commonly Said after a Painful Injury
D．Curse Words Are Spoken by Inexperienced Psychologists
解析：选A。主旨大意题。本文第一段就提出：说脏话能缓解疼痛的问题。接着文中介绍研究人员通过实验来论证这一问题。因此A项符合题意。
61．How did Richard Stephens carry out the experiment
A．With a questionnaire.
B．Through some examples.
C．By comparison.
D．With the help of the Internet.
解析：选C。推理判断题。由文中第四段研究者让这些学生把手放入冰水，分别说脏话和说可控制性语言来判断哪种能坚持的时间长。因此Richard Stephens是通过对比的方法来进行实验的。
62．What does the underlined word “activates” mean
A．Makes something active.
B．Changes something totally.
C．Stops something from happening.
D．Discovers something new.
解析：选A。词义猜测题。此题的突破口可以根据构词法，由activates的词根active，来找出选项A。再把选项A代入文中，根据上下文的意思来判断，即可。
63．Which of the following is one of the findings from the experiment
A．Women use more swearing words than men.
B．The more someone swears the greater effect the words have.
C．Men's heart beats faster than women's when using dirty language.
D．Using swearing words helps women deal with pain better than men.
解析：选D。细节理解题。从文中第六段最后一句“Yet swearing had a greater effect on women.”可知，答案选D。
C
Only a few people in Toronto have the luck to live within walking distance from their workplace.For the rest of us, commuting (乘车上下班) is a rather unpleasant daily necessity.
So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto？You can do it in the old way and listen to one of the radio stations that give regular updates about the traffic situation in Toronto's streets.Seeing the big picture of Toronto's traffic and knowing when and where heavy traffic occurs is a must.From my own experience, there are situations where a quick decision can help you make it in time for an event or a meeting.That's why we prepared three short videos showing the overall traffic situation in Toronto from dawn to night.You can click them and watch.
With the help of “Google Maps”， where you can watch the live traffic density all over the world and average traffic data based on past conditions, we were able to provide you with traffic maps for a typical (平常的) Friday.
Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning, with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions (交叉点) at 7：00 am.The morning traffic jam starts light at 7：30 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 8：30.The roads are quite free afterwards, only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 11：30 am to 12：00 noon.It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 1：00 pm, mainly on the Don Valley Parkway.You won't have a good time getting away from the city from 4：00 pm to 6：30 pm, as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam.The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night.I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday!
64．By saying “commuting is a rather unpleasant daily necessity”， the writer refers to the fact that ________.
A．buses are usually very crowded
B．they are often stuck in traffic jams
C．they have to travel a long way to work
D．they usually cannot do anything on the way to work
解析：选B。推理判断题。本文主要是讲多伦多的交通堵塞情况，作者说上班的路上不是很愉快，是因为堵车的缘故。
65．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．What the traffic in Toronto is like for a typical Friday.
B．How to avoid heavy traffic on Friday.
C．Why the traffic is terrible on Friday.
D．What “Google Maps” can do for us.
解析：选A。主旨大意题。通读末段，可知主要是讲多伦多周五的交通情况，故选A。
66．Where is this passage taken from
A．A TV program. B．A radio program.
C．A website. D．A travel booklet.
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第二段的“You can click them and watch.”可推断本文来源于某个网站。
D

Some elder employees tell newcomers that having a mattress at work is just like having a home at the company.To encourage their employees to work overtime, a number of companies have issued their employees with mattresses so that they can take a rest under their desks at any time of a day.People have started refusing the mattress and taking better care of their health after the media reported on a number of people who died due to overwork last year.
And last, but not least, the mobile phone.
A surgeon from a Beijing hospital says more and more white collar workers are turning up with a strange disease which they call “mobile phone elbow”．The patients' elbows are painful, and sometimes they can't even raise their hands.The doctor says the disease occurs when patients spend more than 4 hours on their mobiles.

Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea.
Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level, Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable.__1__.
__2___.Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years.Experts say that it will have sunk another 20－50cm by 2050.A century ago, St.Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year.Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times.While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu's rising sea level is caused by global warming.
The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by extra 1－3 degrees over the next 100 years.
Warmer weather makes glaciers melt, adding more water to the ocean.The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise.The sea level has risen about 10－25 cm in the last 100 years.
__3__.Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2.This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.
Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes.__4__.
__5__， the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live.
A.The main cause of global warming is human pollution

As I was likely to be home rather late, I advised him to go into the kitchen and help himself to food and drink.
Two hours later my friend phoned me from the flat. At the moment, he said, he was listening to some of my records after having just had a truly wonderful meal. He had found a pan on the gas stove and fried two eggs and had helped himself to some cold chicken from the refrigerator. Now, he said, he was drinking a glass of orange juice and he hoped I would join him. When I asked him if he had reached the flat without difficulty, he answered that he had not been able to find the key under the door mat, but fortunately the living room window just by the apple tree had been left open and he had climbed in.

29．See the model ship ________ in the pool？That's what my father made for me last weekend.

A．was prevented B．had prevented

32．He wants to see change in the company and I am sure ________ he will.
A．on time B．at a time
C．at one time D．in time
解析：选D。他想看到公司有所改变，我相信他总有天会看到的。in time“迟早，总有一天”，符合语境。on time“按时”；at a time “一次”；at one time“曾经”。

The success of Pickwick Papers made Dickens very popular.He suddenly found himself at twenty four the most famous novelist of his day.Busy as his social life was, he worked on two novels at the same time — Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers.He was particularly proud of Pickwick Papers, which was a huge success and was regarded as a comic (喜剧) masterpiece (杰作)．“If I were to live a hundred years and write novels in each, I should never be so proud of any of them as I am proud of Pickwick Papers，” he said.
It has been said of Dickens that he grasped (抓住) the imagination of his readers because his imagination grasped himself.The people in his works were so real that they could make him laugh or cry.When writing Oliver Twist he said that he could not rest until Fagin, the wrongdoer (做坏事的人), had been hanged.
Dickens' marriage to Catherine Hagarth, with whom he had nine children, ended unhappily in 1858.He started to travel about giving readings of his works.His interest in theater gave his novels the qualities that made them suitable for reading aloud on the stage.A tiring trip to the United States affected his health.On June 9th, 1870, when he was working on a new novel, he died.Dickens had always wanted to die of working.

Of all the planets, none has captured the world's imagination like Mars.Its reddish color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.
In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars.Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H．G.Well's The War of the Worlds.Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars.Wells described Martians as threatening.Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works.Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.
Today, Mars continues to excite humans — not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study.Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited, landed on and dug into the Martian surface.
The Smithsonian's “Mars Day” offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars, or at least a piece of it.Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring, Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma.They heard about Mars and its geology from experts.They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976.They also saw meteorites (陨星)known to have come from the red, or reddish planet.Eight year old Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right.He said, “It's actually orangish more than red and it's also kind of brown.” Emma is six.She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars.She said, “The closest thing to Mars — the stuff — is from volcanoes mostly.”
“Mars Day” offered Allison and Alycia's children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.
60．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Why Martians were considered threatening.
B．Why Mars has captured the world's imagination.
C．What people generally thought of Mars in the past.
D．How H．G.Wells got the idea for his science fiction.
解析：选C。主旨大意题。通读第二段，可知主要是讲人们关于火星的一些传统认识，故选C。
61．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that ________.
A．today's space scientists still know nothing about Mars
B．today's space scientists are very interested in Mars
C．science fiction films are no longer set in Mars
D．space scientists haven't made any progress in knowing Mars
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第三段的“Today, Mars continues to excite humans — not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study.”以及后一句“Space scientists have collected a wealth of information ...”可推断现在的航天科学家们对火星很感兴趣。
62．What is the writer's attitude toward the idea that humans will set foot on Mars
A．He thinks it may happen in this year.
B．He thinks it will always remain a dream.
C．He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.
D．He thinks it may happen in the following decades.
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据末段的“a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes”可知作者认为人类在接下来的几十年内就有可能登上火星。
63．The Smithsonian's “Mars Day” might NOT offer people a chance to ________.
A．learn about the surface of Mars
B．see a test version of some Viking landers
C．see meteorites known to have come from Mars
D．sit in a spacecraft to experience the life of an astronaut
解析：选D。细节理解题。通读全文，可知作者并没有提到在火星日，前往参观的人可以坐在宇宙飞船里体验宇航员的生活，故选D。
C
Beijing is a rather strange city to many western people.One of my foreign friends told me that when he came to Beijing, at first he couldn't understand why most people wear masks when spring comes to Beijing.He thought people wanted to keep their appearance a secret.Well, one of the symbols of spring coming to Beijing is that more and more people start wearing masks.The reason for it is the arrival of so called “sandstorms”．
It is said that each year sandstorms hit Beijing 4 to 5 times.The sand is brought to Beijing by wind from the western part of China.Tons (吨) of soil and dust travel hundreds of miles and blanket Beijing's streets, parked cars and apartment buildings.You would be amazed to see the ground has turned yellow overnight.The storm is so violent that you do not want to have a conversation with your friend on the road.If you open your mouth and then you close it, you may have the raw (自然状态的) taste of sand in your mouth.
People in Beijing hate those storms.Sandstorms make the traffic jam in rush hours even more unpredictable, because the drivers have to drive slowly in order to have a clear view of the road conditions.Young students also hate sandstorms because whenever there is a sandstorm, they are not allowed to have any activities outside the classroom.It is so boring to sit in the classroom all day and the youngsters are so eager (渴望的) to go out and do some sports.
It is said that the closest desert is only 80 kilometers away from the city center.There is definitely much more to do for the local government to deal with the environmental problem.
64．People in Beijing wear masks in the spring because ________.
A．they are ill
B．their masks are beautiful
C．there are serious sandstorms
D．they want to keep their face a secret
解析：选C。细节理解题。从第一段的最后一句“The reason for it is the arrival of so called ‘sandstorms’．”可知，人们戴面罩是因为北京常有沙尘暴来袭。
65．The underlined word “blanket” in Paragraph 2 means “________”．
A．cover B．cross
C．destroy D．block
解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据下一句“You would be amazed to see the ground has turned yellow overnight.”可知，地面在一夜之间变成黄色是因为街道被沙尘覆盖了，所以blanket应意为“覆盖”，故选A。
66．Which of the following is NOT true according to the text
A．Sandstorms hit Beijing more than 3 times every year.
B．Sandstorms can cause more traffic jams.
C．Students don't go to school if there is a sandstorm.
D．Beijing is strange in many westerners' eyes.
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Young students ...the classroom.”可知，在沙尘暴天气中，学生们不能进行户外活动，只能待在教室里，故C项表述与原文不符。
67．Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A．People in Sandstorms
B．Sandstorms in Beijing
C．How to Prevent Sandstorms
D．What to Do in a Sandstorm
解析：选B。标题归纳题。本文主要讲了北京沙尘暴天气的发生频率，沙尘暴袭击北京时的情景以及人们不喜欢沙尘暴的原因，故B项最能概括全文。
D
The man who brings my milk used to knock for his money for the week's milk while I was eating breakfast on Saturday morning.Just lately he has been arriving before I get up.Workforce shortages mean that four men are sharing five rounds, so he has to start earlier.
Delivering milk to people's homes is hardly good business, especially when the customer may have a choice of two or three firms serving a single road.In spite of my local difficulties, however, labor troubles are not as great as a few years ago.There are enough men prepared to make an early morning start for the sake of an open air job with a fair measure of freedom.If they did stop calling, women would find it hard work to collect all the milk they need from self service stores.Dairies (乳品业) know that stopping deliveries in the United States resulted in falling sales.
Marketing ideas have included introducing extra lines, in addition to dairy products, which the milkmen can carry to increase business.One dairyman said, “It won't be long before the milkman delivers more bread than milk.” Some milkmen deliver potatoes, and it seems as though variety will be limited only by the size of the trucks.
So the milkman is likely to remain a familiar figure, and the dairy products he sells are unlikely to change very much in this decade.Flavored milk is popular on the Continent.In Britain those who like it buy plain milk and add their own flavoring.Even the returnable bottle continues to be used.As long as it has a reasonable life — 30 to 40 trips are usual — the cost of collection and cleaning is worthwhile.
语篇解读：本文介绍了送奶工的工作方便了人们的生活，但由于乳品业劳动力缺乏，公司担心乳制品的销售量会下降。
68．The milkmen now start earlier on their delivery rounds than before because ________.
A．there is an increasing demand for milk delivery
B．they hope to reach the customers' home in time
C．they have to collect the money for the week's milk house to house
D．dairies are short of deliverymen and the companies worry about falling sales
解析：选D。事实细节题。从文章的第一段最后一句和第二段最后一句可知乳品业缺少劳动力，公司担心乳制品的销售量会下降。
69．Which of the following statements in NOT true
A．One of the marketing ideas is variety.
B．The milkman now delivers more bread than milk.
C．Milkmen have taken over many rounds given up by bakeries.
D．Some milkmen deliver potatoes in addition to dairy products.
解析：选B。事实判断题。从第三段第二句可知，不久以后送奶工送面包比送牛奶多，而不是现在。
70．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．the British people seldom buy plain milk
B．the returnable bottles are no longer used
C．collection and cleaning of the returnable bottles cost nothing
D．the returnable bottles won't be thrown away until they are used dozens of times
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句可知牛奶瓶可使用三四十次。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone has feelings of anxiety, nervousness, tension and stress from time to time.Here are a few ways to help us manage them.
__71__ We all think we know how to relax.But calming down in front of the TV or computer isn't true relaxation.Depending on what you're watching or doing, it could even make you more nervous.The same is true for alcohol, drugs or tobacco.They may seem to relieve anxiety or stress, but it's a false state of relaxation that's only temporary.What the body really needs is a relaxation technique—like deep breathing, tai chi or yoga — that has a physical effect on the mind.
Get enough sleep, nutrition and exercise.Get the right amount of sleep for your need — not too much or too little.Eat well — choose fruit，vegetables，low fat proteins and whole grains for long term energy instead of the short bursts that come from too much sugar or caffeine.__72__ In that way, your brain and body can operate at their best.
Connect with others.__73__ Doing things with those we feel close to deepens our bonds, which allows us to feel happier and less upset about things.If you feel worried or nervous about something, talking about it with someone who listens and cares can help you feel more understood and better able to deal with it.You'll be reminded that everyone has these feelings sometimes.You're not alone.
__74__ Heading out for a walk in the park or a hike in the woods can help anyone feel peaceful.Choose somewhere you feel safe so that you can relax and enjoy your surroundings.Walking or hiking can offer additional benefit or exercise.Invite a friend or two — or a family member — along and enjoy feeling connected to people as well.
Think positively.A great way to keep our minds off the worry track is to focus our thoughts on things that are good, beautiful and positive.__75__
A．Spend time with your friends or family.
B．Express yourself to others.
C．Connect with nature.
D．Keep away from stress and anxiety.
E．Allow yourself to dream and wish for the best.
F．Exercise to send oxygen to every cell in the body.
G．Choose a correct way to relax.

Dear Editor，
I'm a student at a Shandong middle school.My hometown used to be a beautiful place.Thick forest and green grass could be seen everywhere.However, because of climate changes, it rains little now.
In order to build houses and grow more crops, people there cut down more and more trees.As time went on, the forests were seriously destroyed.As a result, sandstorms struck us now and then, from which people suffered a lot.
To prevent the process of desertification, I hope that all the people take good care of the forest and plant more trees instead of cutting them down.Then our living conditions will soon be improved.课时跟踪检测(八) Learning about Language & Using Language

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago.He studied the observations of comets (彗星) which other scientists had made.The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem.He could not figure it out.Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician.Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it.He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (椭圆)．
Now Halley set to work.He figured out (解决；计算出) the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists.He made a surprising discovery.The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit.Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley.The different comets followed the same orbit.The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought.He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times.The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction (预言) of what comet would happen in the future.He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758.There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky.Halley did not see it, for he has died some years before.Ever since then that comet has been called Halley's comet, in his honor.
1．Halley made his discovery ________.
A．by doing experiments
B．by means of his own careful observation
C．by using the work of other scientists
D．by chance
解析：选C。细节理解题。由文中第三段得知。
2．Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year ________.
A．1704 B．1705
C．1706 D．1707
解析：选B。计算题。文中的“He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758.There were 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested.”这句话告诉我们：他预言彗星出现的时间是1758年，而这个预言还要经过53年才能验证，由此可以推断出哈雷做出这个预言的时间是1705年。
3．This passage in general is about ________.
A．Halley and other scientists
B．the orbit of a comet
C．Newton and Halley
D．Halley and his discovery
解析：选D。主旨大意题。纵观全文，不难看出，文章的中心就是哈雷以及他的发现。
4．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Edmund Halley was an American scientist.
B．Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.
C．Newton was a famous mathematician.
D．The orbit of a comet had the shape of an around.
解析：选C。综合判断题。从文章首句可以看出A项错误；从第二题的分析中可知B项也错误；牛顿告诉哈雷彗星的轨道是椭圆形的，可排除D。
B
Do you enjoy watching beautiful sunsets and seeing wildlife in some of the best parts of Wisconsin Do you like being around people who share the same respect and love for natural resources If you say “yes”， then a fisheries biologist is a great career choice for you.
As you can probably guess, education is very important.A Bachelor of Science degree in fisheries or biology is strongly recommended.Many biologists have a Master's degree.But it's not only good education that prepares you for a career as a fisheries biologist — field experience is also important.Volunteer work, internships (实习) and short term fish technician positions are good ways to gain valuable training that can give you an edge in the competitive job market.
In addition to good education and field experience, a fisheries biologist needs other skills.You'll spend a lot of time working with the public, so it's important to feel comfortable talking to a variety of people.Good communication, listening, and presentation (陈述) skills are a must.
A common misconception among many people is that fisheries biologists get to fish all the time.Most biologists wish that were true.But as a fisheries biologist, you are especially busy during the fishing season, which leaves little time for you to actually go fishing.It's sad, but true.
Each day brings something different in the life of a fisheries biologist.In the spring and fall, you spend a lot of time on the water shocking fish in order to sample the population, studying fish, and talking with people.The winter is spent analyzing (分析) fish data and communicating with the public.
So if you find fish interesting and fun to learn about, and like working both outside and inside, consider a career as a fisheries biologist.You'll never be bored!
5．We can infer this passage was written to ________.
A．advise us to respect and protect wildlife
B．encourage us to spend more time working outside
C．explain why education is important for our career
D．introduce a good career to those who are interested in wildlife
解析：选D。作者意图题。通读全文，可知作者主要向我们介绍了常在户外作业的渔业生物学家这个职业，故选D。
6．To be a good fisheries biologist, which of the following is NOT necessary
A．You should be good at communicating with others.
B．You should have rich knowledge of biology.
C．You should have field experience.
D．You should be a good swimmer.
解析：选D。细节理解题。通读全文，可知作者提到了要想成为一个渔业生物学家，必须有渔业学或者生物学学士学位，必须有实地工作的经验，必须擅长沟通，但并没有说要擅长游泳，故选D。
7．The underlined word “misconception” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”．
A．question B．misunderstanding
C．dream D．explanation
解析：选B。词义猜测题。根据后面的“Most biologists wish that were true ...”可知很多人认为渔业生物学家可以经常钓鱼的观念是错误的，故选B。
8．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．fisheries biologists like working in winter most
B．fisheries biologists can easily get bored of their work
C．fisheries biologists get to fish all the time all year round
D．fisheries biologists spend a lot of time working outside in spring and fall
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“In the spring and fall, you spend a lot of time on the water ...”可推断渔业生物学家在春天和秋天有很多户外工作的时间。

First published in 2001, the book Life of Pi written by Canadian author Yann Martel won the Man Booker Prize and an Asian American Prize for Literature. It is the story of a young boy named Pi who spends 227 days at sea with a small group of animals after disaster strikes their ship and is an account of his journey of survival and hardship.
Piscine “Pi” Molitor Patel, on whom Life of Pi is based, is a young boy living in Pondicherry, India, where his father owns a zoo. The story starts when Patel's family decide to move to Canada, along with their zoo animals for their new home.
However, because of the bad weather, the ship sinks. Pi along with an orangutan (猩猩), an injured zebra, a hyena (鬣狗) and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker are the only survivors who take shelter in a small lifeboat.Both the injured zebra and the orangutan are soon killed and eaten by the hyena.The tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena, leaving just the two of them alone on the boat now.
In an effort to avoid being eaten by Richard Parker, Pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm.Since he does not want the tiger to die for fear of going mad by being alone on the boat, he fishes and feeds the two of them in order to stay alive.
The life of Pi then enters its third stage when their lifeboat washes up on the shores of Mexico and the tiger escapes into a nearby forest leaving Pi alone. After the Mexicans refuse to believe Pi's story, he changes his tale by replacing the animals with his mother, a cook and a sailor and asks the Mexicans which one they prefer. They prefer hearing the first story though they do not believe a word of it.
In my view, Life of Pi is a must read book for all those who love reading.

It is hard to track the blue whale, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling.Attaching radio devices to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.
So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the US Navy, they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days recording its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy's formerly top secret system of underwater listening devices across the oceans.
Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely observing a deep sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they planned similar studies.Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in the ocean and global temperatures. Different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient's chest to a doctor's ear.This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.
语篇解读：文章从追踪几乎绝迹的蓝鲸的艰难和需借助尖端设施入手，谈到了军用技术的民用问题。
5．The underwater listening system was originally designed ________.

A．the ability of sounds to travel at high speed
B．the top level technology of focusing sounds under water
C．the unique characteristic of layers of ocean water in carrying sounds
D．low frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water
解析：选C。根据最后一段中“Different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope ...”可知C项正确。
7．What can we infer from the passage
A．New radio devices are developed for tracking blue whales.
B．Blue whales are no longer endangered with the help of the new system.
C．Opinions differ on the use of military technology.
D．Military technology has great potential in civilian use.

People in the United States honour their parents with two special days：Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care to their children. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with childcare.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations (康乃馨). A red one symbolizes (象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour their parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues(烤肉) for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists,_candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.
5．Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for their parents
A．Their parents bring them up.
B．Their parents give love and care to them.
C．Their parents educate them to be good persons.
D．Their parents passed away before they grew up.

A．people usually have family parties
B．everyone goes to visit the cemetery

Dear Sir，
How are you？As a exchange student, I am writing to tell you I would prefer to move into a single room in the next term, as I find it inconvenient to share a room with others.My roommate often held parties at night, made much noise.Besides, his friends are always visiting him, that disturbs me a lot. So I hope to draw your attentions to this problem.If you think in my position, I am sure he will agree that the only solution for me is get a room of my own, one not in the same building but as near to the school campus as possible.I would be gratefully if you could do me favor.
Best wishes.

Christmas is a festival for family members to get together for reunion. People who live away try to get back home. The roads and railways are full of people traveling long distances in order to spend Christmas at home. And above all, It's the children's festival.
The children count the weeks, then the days to Christmas. They're wondering what presents they are going to have; they keep trying to find something out from their mother, but the only thing the mother will tell them is stories about Father Christmas, who brings presents to good children.
Christmas Eve comes at last. When the children go to bed they hang up their stockings and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course it's really their parents who fill the stockings, but even the older children often pretend not to know this.
Everybody likes to be happy at Christmas time. The theater puts on special shows for children. The circus is another thing that parents may take their children to see. Here, audiences sit in a circle and the performance takes place in the center. The main attraction is the performing animals. Elephants, lions and tigers are trained to do astonishing tricks. Every circus, too, has clowns who make people laugh.

28．Tom stored ________ food in his fridge, so he could stay at home all day during the vacation.
A．large amounts of B．a great many
C．a large number of D．quite a lot
解析：选A。汤姆在冰箱里存了很多食物，因此在假期里他可以整天都待在家里。a great many和a large number of只能修饰可数名词复数；quite a lot既可以修饰可数名词，也可以修饰不可数名词；large amounts of只能修饰不可数名词。故只有A项正确。
29．You may do whatever you like in the holiday. ________ me, I think I can have a rest.
A．As for B．As with
C．As to D．As about
解析：选A。as with“正如；与……一样”；as for“至于；关于；就……而论”；as to“至于；关于；就……而论”。句意：在假期里，你可以做你任何喜欢的事情。至于我，我想我会休息一下。由句意可知，A项正确。

33．As I was tidying my room, I found the letter by accident, ________ was addressed to my late grandfather.
A．who B．which
C．that D．what

34．He is very friendly________and we become friends at once.

第二节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D )中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
When I was 17, I met a famous doctor named Paul Bragg.He gave me one of the most valuable __36__ of my life: a statement that was filled with words of __37__.To this very day, I still __38__ it: I am a genius (天才), and I apply my wisdom (应用我的智慧)．
__39__， I was a high school dropout (辍学学生) and was living in a tent in Hawaii. I had a very limited vocabulary and had never __40__ reading a single book.When Dr. Bragg taught me this statement, he told me to say it with feeling __41__ it were true and present. To do so seemed so far from __42__ that it was funny. After saying it many times, __43__ , I began to feel what those powerful words meant. __44__ every day I continued to say it, and it became __45__ to believe: I am a genius, and I apply my wisdom.
It was two and a half years later when I really saw the __46__ of the statement.I was sitting in a college library __47__ by fellow students whom I was helping with higher mathematics. I heard one of the students speak __48__ to another, “John is really a __49__！” At that moment, I __50__ what Dr. Bragg had taught me, and I __51__ to say this statement for the rest of my life.
I can't quite put into words what a(n) __52__ this statement has made in my life. __53__ it, I was able to change from a dropout to the top of my college classes.I think that the key to __54__ is putting your true feelings into a statement you __55__ and saying it over and over every day.
36. A．enjoyments B．parts
C．gifts D．experiences
解析：选C。通过作者的经历——从一名辍学学生到大学里的优等生，我们可以判断，Bragg博士的话使作者受益匪浅，因此此处应该是说那句话是作者一生中收到的最宝贵的礼物之一。
37. A．knowledge B．comfort
C．praise D．power
解析：选D。由文章可知，Bragg博士送给作者的“礼物”是一条字字充满力量的宣言。第二段的“those powerful words”是对本空的提示。
38. A．like B．need
C．say D．use
解析：选C。第三段的“I decided to say this statement”以及文章最后一句中的“and saying it over and over every day”是提示。
39. A．At the time B．For a while
C．All at once D．For the moment
解析：选A。此处作者开始回忆自己的高中时代。由at the time(那时)引出回忆。
40. A．advised B．finished
C．minded D．admitted
解析：选B。根据“I had a very limited vocabulary”的事实我们可以判断，此处作者是说自己没有把一本书看完过。
41. A．as if B．so that
C．in case D．now that
解析：选A。Bragg博士让“我”深情地说出这个宣言，就像它是真实的、当时存在的。
42. A．history B．hope
C．life D．reality
解析：选D。作者在那个时候是一名辍学学生，而Bragg博士却让他说自己是天才，作者认为这与事实不符，觉得这么说很滑稽。本句中含有一个so ...that句型。
43. A．moreover B．however
C．otherwise D．anyhow
解析：选B。根据本空后“说了很多次以后，‘我’开始感受到这些饱含力量的文字的含义了”可知，作者的认识发生了转变——由“觉得滑稽”到“感受到了话语的含义”。前后表示转折，故选however。
44. A．Until B．Since
C．So D．After
解析：选C。作者感受到了这句话的含义，所以他每天继续重复。上下句之间为因果关系，故选so。
45. A．easier B．funnier
C．more unusual D．more impossible
解析：选A。说得多了之后，这句话也变得容易让人相信了。
46. A．evidence B．purpose
C．details D．results

47. A．followed B．surrounded

51. A．decided B．asked
C．expected D．learned
解析：选A。“我”决定在今后的日子里继续说这个宣言。
52. A．difference B．problem
C．improvement D．impression
解析：选A。这个宣言对“我”生活的影响有多大，“我”无法用语言表达清楚。make a difference“有影响”。
53. A．Except for B．More than
C．Instead of D．Because of
解析：选D。前后是因果关系，故选Because of。正是由于这句话，“我”才能从一个辍学学生转变成大学里的优等生。此处作者意在说明Bragg博士的这句话对他人生的影响。
54. A．love B．success
C．happiness D．understanding
解析：选B。参见下题解析。
55. A．think about B．look for
C．believe in D．dream up
解析：选C。“我”认为成功的关键在于，把自己真实的情感投入到自己相信的宣言中去，并且坚持每天都说出来。

Full of beauty, happiness and a healthy love of life, the Bulgarian (保加利亚人的) festivals and customs date back to old time when man tried to live in peace with nature.The merriest and richest festivals are Christmas and the New Year, when the so called “sourvakari” makes the round of house with wishes for health and wealth.Other main festivals include “ladouvane” — a holiday for young girls on New Year's Day or Midsummer Day (24th June), Shrovetide and Mummers' Games which mark the start of spring, and “lazrouvane” — a traditional festival for love and family, health and richness.And among them, the widely popular and typical Bulgarian customs and festivals are “martenitsas” and rose picking.
Every year on March 1st, the Bulgarians give each other “martenitsas” — a small doll made of white and red strings, a symbol of the beginning of spring, health and happiness.
In late May and early June every year, the rose picking season starts in the Valley of Roses which is between the Balkan Range and the Sredna Gora Mountains.Rose picking starts at dawn, before sunrise and before the pleasant smell of the rose has disappeared.The Bulgarian rose produces 70 percent of the world's rose oil which is used by the very well known perfume (香水) company as a basic element of its products.This is the time of the Festival of Roses, celebrated with carnivals, happy activities, folk songs and dances in Karlovo and Kazanluk on the first Sunday in June.

It would be hard to argue that there is anyone more powerful in Hollywood today than Steven Spielberg.Since his first major success Jaws in 1975, he has made one hit movie after another.These include the wildly popular series Indiana Jones, Jaws and ET.
Those films are fun and lighthearted.But Steven Spielberg has also made serious films that were well received by critics (评论家) and movie audiences alike.The movie Saving Private Ryan is a good example.It is an American war movie in the traditional sense.But, the director's close attention to detail and historical facts also increased public interest in America's efforts during World War Two.
The film Schindler's List also takes place during World War Two.It tells the powerful story of a German businessman who worked to save Jews from Nazi Germany.
Steven Spielberg was born in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio in 1946.His mother owned a restaurant and was also a musician. His father was an electrical engineer.Steven started making movies while he was growing up.He required his family and friends to pay twenty five cents to see his films when they were completed.Steven Spielberg said this_experience led him to produce the film Super Eight.It tells about a group of teenagers who join together to make a movie and uncover a mystery in the process.
Steven Spielberg is one of the top directors in the film industry and also has many fans in China.When asked about the secret of his success, Steven Spielberg said that he owes much of his success and happiness to his wife and children.He met Cate Capshaw, who is an actress, when he was working on one of his films.After that it still took seven years before they finally got married.The couple has seven children in all.
60．What can we learn about the film Jaws
A．It failed to attract public interest.
B．It was regarded as a serious film.
C．It was made after Indiana Jones.
D．It was made by Steven Spielberg at 29.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第一段的“his first major success Jaws in 1975”及第四段的“Steven Spielberg was born in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio in 1946.”可知这部电影是斯皮尔伯格29岁时拍摄的。
61．What's the similarity between Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List
A．They are both humorous.
B．They were released at the same time.
C．They both happen during World War Two.
D．They are both traditional American movies.
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第三段的“The film Schindler's List also takes place during World War Two.”可知，这两部电影叙述的是第二次世界大战时期的故事。
62．According to the text, Steven, Spielberg ________.
A．lived a poor life when he was young
B．believed hard work led to his success
C．has got seven children in total
D．had musical parents
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The couple has seven children in all”可知C项描述正确。
63．The underlined words “this experience” in Paragraph 4 refer to the experience of ________.
A．young Steven Spielberg's life
B．young Steven Spielberg's making films
C．Steven Spielberg's achieving success
D．Steven Spielberg's living with his family
解析：选B。指代题。根据第四段的“Steven started making movies while he was growing up.”可知this experience指代前面提到的斯皮尔伯格早期拍摄电影的经历。
C
Once upon a time, there was a scholar who wanted to gain more knowledge each day even though he had already gained enough knowledge.One day, he came to visit a saint and wanted to be his student.The saint provided some tea.He slowly filled the scholar's cup: the cup was full, yet he kept pouring and pouring.The scholar burst out, “Stop！You can't add anything to something that's already full！” The saint set down the teapot and replied, “Exactly.”
Whether it's the silence between notes in music, or some open time in your schedule, you need space to act effectively.Yet most of us, myself included, tend to stuff as much as possible into whatever room is available — closets, schedules, budgets, relationships, and even the mind itself.
However, some people know how to avoid overstuffing their life.For example, in Australia, it seemed that most people there operated at about 85% of their capacity (能力), unlike Americans pushing as close to 100% as possible.So when you run into Australians you know in the street, they have time to hang out and talk with you.
Remember the cup: its value is in the space, the emptiness it holds.How to empty your “cup”？
Be mindful of the element of space, openness, and emptiness in your life.This includes room in a drawer, the volume of air in a kitchen, and open mindedness in a friend.Sometimes you're just stuck with a big bucket of tasks yet to do.But at least empty the bucket faster than you fill it with new tasks.Put some space between finishing one thing and starting another.For example, after sending one email, take a breath before replying to another one.Drop the stuff you can no longer afford to lug around.At sea level, you can run with a brick in your backpack, but if you're hiking on a mountain, that brick has got to go.
64．By pouring water into the cup, the saint most probably wanted the scholar to know that ________.
A．he should pay attention to details
B．he should keep learning every day
C．he had already gained enough knowledge
D．he should be very careful in order to succeed
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第一段的“...a scholar who wanted to gain more knowledge each day even though he had already gained enough knowledge以及The scholar burst out, ‘Stop！You can't add anything to something that's already full！’ ...‘Exactly.’”可推断那位智者想让那人明白，他的知识已经足够了。
65．The underlined word “lug” in the last paragraph probably means “________”．
A．reach B．carry
C．see D．show
解析：选B。词义猜测题。根据后面的“but if you're hiking on a mountain, that brick has got to go”可知此处是指卸下那些我们“携带”不便的行李。
66．What's the structure of the passage
A．Example→advice→conclusion→story.
B．Topic→example→advice→story.
C．Story→topic→example→advice.
D．Reason→topic→advice→example.
解析：选C。文章结构题。文章通过一个故事引入主题，然后给我们举了一个例子，最后给了我们一些建议，故选C。
67．What would be the best title for the passage
A．The Art of Life
B．Value Every Minute
C．The Art of Drinking Tea
D．EmptyYour “Cup” at Times
解析：选D。主旨大意题。本文主要是讲我们要适时地清空我们的生活，留一些空间出来，故选D做文章的标题最好，标题里的cup代指生活。
D
Allen goes everywhere with Brigitte Anderson, a 54 year old secretary.He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her.“Most people don't seem to mind Allen，” says Brigitte, who thinks he is wonderful.“He is my fourth child，” she says.She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allen is a dog.
Brigitte and Allen live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people.This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so they aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means more taxes.Some people are paying as much as 500 Sweden kronor (克朗) in taxes a year for the right to keep their dogs, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill.However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance (保险) for their dogs.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dogs do.A Swedish kennel (宠物园) club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car, you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
68．Brigitte pays taxes for Allen because ________.
A．he is her dog
B．he is her child
C．he follows her everywhere
D．he often falls ill
解析：选A。根据第一段最后一句话可以得知。
69．From the passage it can be learned that in Sweden ________.
A．dogs are welcome in public places
B．keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C．many car accidents are caused by dogs
D．people should pay a lot for their dogs
解析：选D。根据文义可以得知。
70．What does the underlined word “he” refer to
A．Brigitte. B．Allen.
C．Anderson. D．Secretary.
解析：选B。根据第一段可推断出。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
It doesn't come as a surprise to you to realize that it makes no difference what you read or study if you can't remember it.You just waste your valuable time.__71__ One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, “No, thank you.I'm just looking.”？ Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it.But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says, “Right this way, please.”
__72__ If you choose a book, “just looking” for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that — nothing.But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will vary (各种各样); they will include reading or studying “to find out more about”， “to understand the reasons for” and “to find out how”．
__73__ Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, “I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America”．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.
__74__ At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately.But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read.You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating (评价) it, relating (联系) it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes.__75__ One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing (区分) between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked by evidence.Opinions are one's own personal reactions.Another part of critical reading is judging sources.Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.
A.Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting.
B.It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
C.You remember better when you know what you're reading.
D.In other words, a good reader is a critical (批判式的) reader.
E．It's quite the same with your studying.
F．Reading is not one single activity.
G．This is the way it works.

听第10段材料，回答第17至20题。
(Text 10)
Good morning, students. As summer is coming, I think many of you might want to get a summer job and earn some pocket money or want to try out working in society. But you should be careful. When you're offered a job, you must fully understand its nature and what you're required to do. If a job pays you highly but requires few skills, or academic qualifications, you must be careful. You must decline jobs that may involve unlawful or immoral behavior. Every year, there are more than 40 cases of injuries related to summer job workers as reported. I strongly advise you to pay extra attention to occupational safety to avoid work injuries. To sum up, always think, look and ask before you accept any job offers. If you have any problems, consult your parents or authorities such as the police.
17．What does the speaker mainly talk about
A．How to find a summer job.
B．Why to find a summer job.
C．Cautions when looking for a summer job.
18．What kind of jobs should the students refuse
A．Unskilled ones.
B．Illegal ones.
C．Low paid ones.
19．What does the speaker stress particularly
A．Administration fees.
B．Academic qualifications.
C．Occupational safety.
20．Who can the students ask for help
A．Their classmates.
B．The police.
C．The speaker.

第三部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Hurricane Irene hit the coast of North Carolina with winds of up to one hundred and twenty kilometers an hour last Saturday.The storm weakened as it moved north.But Irene brought heavy rains and strong winds to the populated (人口稠密的) east coast.
Hundreds of thousands of people were told to leave areas likely to suffer flood.That included parts of New York City where Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered over two hundred and fifty thousand people to evacuate.
Irene is blamed for more than forty deaths in the United States.Five deaths were reported in the Caribbean.New York Governor Andrew Cuomo estimated his state suffered one billion dollars in damage.Estimates place the total damage from the storm at about seven billion dollars.Insurance (保险业) companies are expected to pay forty to fifty percent of these costs.But costs of lost trade in the travel industry, especially in North Carolina, will be high at a time when the nation's economy is struggling.
High winds and flood from Irene brought down electrical lines, causing about four million people to lose power.Days after the storm, hundreds of thousands were still without electricity.
Many states in the path of Irene have reported disasters.Governors in several states asked over four thousand National Guard members to help in rescue.In North Carolina, some communities near the ocean were flooded and cut off from the mainland.And the small northeastern state of Vermont was especially hard hit.Emergency workers have had to airlift food and supplies to thousands of people trapped by flood waters.Officials said it was the worst flood in Vermont in almost one hundred years.
A man described what he saw in the community of Woodstock in Vermont.He said，“The water in the yard was almost up to the house, which is another ten feet above this level.It is probably fifteen or twenty feet above the normal river level.So the water was really, really very hight.And the force of it was beyond our understanding.”
56．What is the main idea of this passage
A．The United States is in great trouble.
B．The storm that hit the United States has become weak.
C．Heavy rains spread across the United States.
D．Hurricane Irene hits north eastern United States.
解析：选D。主旨大意题。通读全文，可知主要是讲Irene飓风袭击美国东北部的一些州，故选D。
57．The underlined word “evacuate” in Paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to “________”．
A．fight B．leave
C．stay D．rescue
解析：选B。词义猜测题。根据前文的“Hundreds of thousands of people were told to leave areas likely to suffer flood.”可知，这里是指纽约市的市长要求那些人撤离，故选B。
58．What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．Hurricane Irene is much severer than expected.
B．Hurricane Irene has caused great loss in some states.
C．New York City suffers the greatest loss.
D．Hurricane Irene has led to more deaths than any other hurricane in the United States.
解析：选B。推理判断题。第三段主要是讲Irene飓风所造成的巨大损失，故选B。
59．The writer mentioned a man's description in the last paragraph to show ________.
A．why the flood was so serious
B．how people survived the flood
C．how serious the flood in Vermont was
D．how people in Vermont reacted to the flood.

Nutrition influences not only students' grades at school but their growth and development.Improper nutrition is one of the causes of childhood obesity.What can you do to help your child avoid childhood obesity
My first piece of advice is to look in your fridge.What are you buying at the grocery store Think about it: if you don't buy junk food or snacks, your kids won't eat them at home.Now if you're like me — both of your kids are at school, you'll know you can't police them every second of the day.This is the time when you'll need to talk to your children about their food choices.If you don't know the right food choices, ther are so many free resources online to guide you.
Try new things.I was very surprised to find out my 4 year old daughter likes balsamic vinegar — she calls it the “black sauce”．She likes to have it with tomatoes and cucumbers.You just never know what your kids might like.
Don't get stressed if you can't always prepare something healthy.You may sometimes leave the house and forget to take something out for dinner, or you are running late and there's no time to cook before you have to take one of the kids somewhere.However, you can still make healthy choices while dining out.Many of the fast food restaurants offer fruit and milk instead of soda.I like to buy organic frozen pizzas from the organic market — for a quick dinner solution (解决办法)．All the ingredients are natural.What I do is to serve the pizza with something raw: lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, or fruit to try to give the kids something healthy with that meal.
In closing, take baby steps.Don't try to change your family's eating habits in one go, or you'll go nuts.
60．This passage is written mainly to ________.
A．explain why today's kids are overweight
B．tell us the importance of healthy eating
C．give parents some healthy eating tips
D．teach parents what to cook at home
解析：选C。作者意图题。通读本文，可知作者主要给小孩的父母们一些健康饮食方面的建议。
61．The writer believes it is very important for parents to ________.
A．make sure their fridge is full of food
B．teach their children how to eat healthily
C．check their children's grades at school
D．provide their children with their favorite food
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第一段的“Nutrition influences not only students' grades at school but their growth and development.”以及第二段的“This is the time when you'll need to talk to your children about their food choices.”可推断作者认为告诉小孩如何吃得健康很重要。
62．Paragraph 4 tells parents that they should ________.
A．never take their kids to a fast food restaurant
B．eat out in a nice restaurant with their kids at times
C．choose healthy food while eating out with their kids
D．cook healthy food for their kids however busy they are
解析：选C。细节理解题。第四段主要是讲在外面就餐应该怎样吃，根据这一段的“However, you can still make healthy choices while dining out.”可知应选C。
63．According to the passage, it does NOT seem to be a good idea to ________.
A．tell children what to eat at school
B．find free resources on healthy eating online
C．put balsamic vinegar on tomatoes or cucumbers
D．try to change a family's eating habits in a very short time

C
The Colorado River flows through the American states of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California.Then it crosses the border into Mexico.The Colorado River has always been extremely powerful.It made a dam necessary, so Hoover Dam was built.
When the Hoover Dam was finished, it was the largest and tallest dam in the world.It was also the largest power producer using water to make electricity.Today this is no longer true.Taller dams, larger dams and a few dams that produce more power have been created.But the Hoover Dam remains and extraordinary example of engineering.In October, 2010, another major engineering effort was completed about five hundred meters south of the Hoover Dam.A concrete (混凝土) bridge was built about two hundred and seventy five meters above the Colorado River.The bridge connects Arizona and Nevada.
The official name of the_Hoover_Dam_bypass is in memory of two men.They were Mike O' Callaghan and Pat Tillman, so the bridge is called the Mike O'Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge.Mike O'Callaghan was the governor of Nevada in the 1970s.Pat Tillman was a football player who quit the Arizona Cardinals to join the Army.He died in Afghanistan in 2004.
The bridge is about 580 meters long.It is the largest single span concrete arch (拱) bridge in the Western Hemisphere.Each of the 106 cast concrete pieces of the bridge was built in mid air with the support of huge steel cables (索)．Building took place on both sides of the river.For the curve to be perfect, the two sides had to meet within two and a half centimeters of each other.
Before this new bridge, the only way to cross the river in this area was on a small two lane highway extending across the dam.This road was too small for the amount of traffic in the area.The new bridge keeps the majority of vehicles further away from the dam.
64．Why did the writer mention the Colorado River
A．To help us get to know the river better.
B．To tell us where the Hoover Dam was.
C．To prove that rivers can be harmful.
D．To explain why the Hoover Dam was built.
解析：选D。作者意图题。根据第一段的“It made a dam necessary, so the Hoover Dam was built.”可知作者提到 Colorado River只是为了说明为什么要建造胡佛大坝。
65．What does the underlined part “the Hoover Dam bypass” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．A famous football player.
B．The governor of Nevada.
C．The person who designed the bridge.
D．The bridge completed in October, 2010.
解析：选D。词义指代题。根据后面的“so the bridge is called the Mike O'Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge”可知，画线部分指代的是这座大桥。
66．Which of the following is probably a picture of the Mike O'Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第四段中描述这座大桥时提到的“concrete arch”以及“Building took place on both sides of the river.”可以应选D。
67．The last paragraph tells us that the building of the Mike O'Callaghan Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge ________.
A．has reduced the traffic burden on the highway extending across the Hoover Dam
B．has attracted many visitors to drive to the Hoover Dam for sight seeing
C．has made the Hoover Dam less known to the public
D．has made no vehicles show up to the Hoover Dam
解析：选A。推理判断题。根据末段的“The new bridge keeps the majority of vehicles further away from the dam.”可知，这座大桥的建成减少了车辆对通过大坝的高速公路的依赖，故选A。
D
Whether you're flying off to distant beaches or piling into the car for a weekend vacation, nurture a love of new places in your child this travel season.There are some wonderful products and media available to help your kids get fired up about geography.
For the youngest ones, don't miss the lovely Hugg A Planet, Earth (, $19,95)．It's a soft, stuffed globe that's covered with a colorful map of Earth.Kids will eye it like a treasure, toss it like a ball and hug it like a friend.
For toddlers (初学走路的孩子), the nifty puzzle My Town A B C(Great American Puzzle Factory, ages 3 4 $12) helps teach the concept of “place” as it illustrates the relationship of one location to another.Also worth looking at for younger kids is the very cool CD ROM Tonka Town (Atari, ages 3 6; $19.99), which lets children steer their favorite giant trucks down some adventurous paths.
For the older kids, probably nothing beats Handling the Actual Map (ages 8 15; $12.95) that your family's using to get to your vacation destination.Whether you are traveling by car, bus, train or plane, show the kids how to follow your route.Ask them to narrate (叙述) the trip.
During your journey, consider weaving in a history lesson or two.Discuss how the famous explorers used maps to chart their journeys.An excellent book is The Lewis & Clark Expedition (Williamson Publishing, ages 9 12; $12.95), which shows how the Corps of Discovery bravely pushed westward.
Love music and want to work it into your vacation in a meaningful, catchy way Sample the delightful video States and Capitals Songs (Educational Insights, ages 7 and up; $14.95)．
Or, if you want lots of laughs as you travel (and who wouldn't？), try Scrambled States of America (Gamewright, ages 8 and up; $11.99)．It's a fun game of observation and fast reflexes that sets players scrambling to find, for example, a state that ends with the letter A.
语篇解读：本文讲的是在假期旅游期间父母可以向孩子们教授有关地理知识的产品和音响材料。

A．traveling is a dull and simple activity
B．the products and media mentioned can make kids interested in geography
C．you can't miss Hugg A Planet, Earth when you have a vacation
D．States and Capitals Songs is as expensive as Handling the Actual Map
解析：选B。推理判断题。综合分析全文，由文章第一段末“There are some wonderful products and media available to help your kids get fired up about geography.”可得知B项符合题意。get fired up“激起热情；使充满热情”。
70．According to the passage, we know it's ________.
A．an advertisement
B．an introduction to geography
C．a notice about traveling

参考范文：
Dear Sir，
I'm writing to tell something about students' taking part in social practice activities.
By taking part in social practice activities, we have more opportunities to know the real world outside school.We can widen our sight and enrich our knowledge.Also, it is time for us to put into practice what we have learned.
But on the other hand, it may bring about some problems.For example, if we spend too much time on these activities, it will probably affect our studies.What's more, some bad behaviors may do harm to us.
In my opinion, it is necessary for us to have some social practice activities.But we should put study first.
Yours，
Li Hua

Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829.__2__ He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth.__3__ When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric (纤维) to make pants for the miners.These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.
In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉)．This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.__4__.
By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.__5__ The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.
A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.
B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.
C．Strauss agreed and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.
D．However, he did not get much business for those products.
E．Besides, he also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.
F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.
G．As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.

A
Hidden in a small street in the south end of Springfield, not far from buildings torn apart by the tornado earlier this year, Frigo's is an Italian restaurant right in our own backyard.
Frigo's is not a tiny place. It provides different kinds of Italian food. There are refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts, and shelves filled with olives and various pasta.
There's some traditional Italian music and the smell is of olive oil and garlic (大蒜). Above the largest refrigerator case, there's a chalk board covered with descriptions of more Italian sandwiches than I could remember.
I stepped into Frigo's almost by accident when I had to stay in Springfield into the evening for an open house at the school where I work. Frigo's is the perfect place to find something quick to go. There are no tables, so all food is taken out. I also thought it would be a great place to pick up some already prepared food to bring home for dinner.I ordered the easiest meal possible: a chicken sandwich and a salad. It cost DS| 4.75 for the sandwich. The salad was DS| 4.99 and didn't have salad dressing on it. I must have missed the choice of salad dressing on the way out. The sandwich was great — great chicken, excellent tomato sauce and not too much cheese.
I wish I had tried one of the many other sandwiches which include Joe's Favorite (DS| 5.25－DS| 6.75) and the Dante (King) which is made of turkey breast, roasted red peppers, Asiago cheese and choice of dressing.
I have a feeling that I'll be picking up dinner for me and the kids at Frigo's soon.

A．A chalk board covered with descriptions of sandwiches.
B．Refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts.
C．Shelves filled with olives and different kinds of pasta.
D．Customers eating happily around tables.
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第四段的“There are no tables，so all food is taken out.”可知那家餐厅没有桌子，食物都是外卖的，所以不可能有人坐在餐馆里用餐。
58．We can infer that “Joe's Favorite” and “Dante” are the names of ________.
A．sandwiches B．salads
C．cheese D．peppers
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“I wish I had tried one of the many other sandwiches which include Joe's Favorite (DS| 5.25－DS| 6.75)and the Dante (King)”可知那些都是三明治的名字。
59．We can infer from the passage that the writer ________.
A．seldom eats out in a restaurant with his family
B．feels very happy that he has found Frigo's

解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第四段的“I also thought it would be a great place to pick up some already prepared food to bring home for dinner.”以及末段的“I have a feeling that I'll be picking up dinner for me and the kids at Frigo's soon.”可推断作者很喜欢那家餐厅，故选B。
B

参考范文：
Dear classmates，
As we all know, it is very important for us to form healthy eating habits. However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast and some like to have snacks during breaks, as a result of which they can't take in enough nutrients.We can also find that some students are particular about food, and still some eat too much junk food.All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. Besides, we'd better have meals regularly.
In my opinion, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body. Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better.
That's all. Thank you!Unit 2 Healthy eating课时跟踪检测(三)

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
At my heaviest, my weight rose to 160 pounds. My mother criticized (批评) me when she noticed my weight reaching 110 pounds. I thought she was unhappy when considering I was thin while she was beyond fat, but her words made me fear getting fat. I started freaking when my weight passed 130 pounds. Last fall, my doctor suggested that I walk my dogs more.
My weight at that time was 141 pounds. He told me that I could lose weight by walking my dogs. Over the winter months, despite my careful eating, my weight increased to 160 pounds and I noticed my jeans were then a size 12. I also noticed that my mastiff (大型驯犬) was out of control.She is a big dog and requires a great deal of exercise. My young Lhasa Apso was getting as lazy as I was, so I made a decision to walk both of them every day.
Every morning, after most people in the neighborhood go to work and after I finish my first few articles, I walk both of my dogs. They both love walk time and I love to walk them. The neighbors have got used to seeing us take our morning walk. They wave, walk out, and pet the dogs and then we move on.
I started out at 160 pounds and I'm getting closer to 130 pounds. I am proud of the fact that I have lost so much weight. My husband is proud, too. I am looking forward to comfortably fitting myself into a size 8 and maybe even finally dropping to a size 6.
1．The writer wrote this passage to ________.
A．explain why she became fat
B．share how she lost weight
C．advise us to raise a dog
D．tell us to enjoy our life
解析：选B。作者意图题。通读全文，可知作者主要是讲她利用遛狗的方法成功地减了肥，即她是如何成功减肥的，故选B。
2．The underlined word “freaking” in Paragraph 1 shows the writer was getting ________.
A．excited B．interested
C．angry D．frightened
解析：选D。词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“but her words made me fear getting fat”可知作者体重达110磅时她已经开始担心会变胖了，而体重达130磅时，她终于开始“害怕”了。
3．What size of jeans is the writer probably taking now
A．A size 6. B．A size 8.
C．A size 10. D．A size 12.
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第二段的“my weight increased to 160 pounds and I noticed my jeans were then a size 12”可知作者160磅时穿的是12号的牛仔裤，根据末段的“looking forward to comfortably fitting myself into a size 8”可知作者想穿8号的，又根据末段的“am getting closer to 130 pounds”可知她现在是130磅，由此可推断她现在所穿的可能是10号的牛仔裤。
4．After reading the passage, we know the writer lost weight mainly through ________.
A．eating healthily B．training her dogs
C．walking her dogs D．working out in the gym
解析：选C。细节理解题。通读全文，可知作者主要是通过遛狗的方法来达到减肥的目的的。

Today fast food restaurants are very popular.One famous name is Harry's Hamburgers. Harry's Hamburgers come from America and have been in business for thirty years. There are about 5,000 Harry's Hamburgers in different countries. The food is the same everywhere. In London, New York or Paris people eat the same hamburgers and drink the same drinks.
Hamburger Harry is a special friend of children everywhere. He goes to schools and talks to pupils.He goes into different classrooms, sits down on the carpet or at the desk and asks the pupils to relax. Then he begins his talk.
Harry teaches children about litter. “Don't throw your boxes on the floor in my restaurants，” he says. “And don't throw my bags away in the street. If you see boxes and bags in the street, pick them up and throw them into the bin (垃圾箱)．”
Hamburger Harry visits children in hospitals and tells them funny stories. His restaurants give wonderful birthday parties. Parents telephone the restaurant or go there. They choose a good day for the party, arrange the food and drink and send invitations to friends. Hamburger Harry sometimes comes to the party with a bag of presents and a big birthday cake.The boys and girls sit round the tables and eat all their favorite food.They all wear paper hats and party badges (徽章). Hamburger Harry dresses in green, red and yellow and he wears two big badges. He works hard at the party. He tells jokes, sings songs and gives everyone a present. The children get colored pencils，balloons and books to draw on. They always have a good time.
Their parents enjoy the party too because they don't prepare the tables and they don't cook the food.They don't have to clean the restaurant after the party. All they do is pay the bill.
语篇解读：哈利汉堡包是世界上著名的快餐店之一。哈利不但经营着快餐店，而且还热衷于一些公益事业。

A．give a big cake to the child as a gift

A．Because they don't have to pay the bill.
B．Because there are many friends in the party.
C．Because they can enjoy delicious cakes in the party.
D．Because they don't need to do many things by themselves.
解析：选D。细节理解题。由最后一段可知，父母喜欢哈利汉堡包为孩子举办的生日聚会是因为家长不用再亲自做饭刷碗，故D为正确选项。

A．Harry's Hamburgers have been in business for 13 years.
B．Harry's Hamburgers only appear in America.
C．Harry always holds the children's birthday party himself.

解析：选D。细节理解题。由第一段可知，A、B错误；由第四段第五句可知，哈利本人有时会参加孩子的生日聚会，但并非总是亲自主持聚会，C错误；由第四段可知，孩子们都非常喜欢哈利，故D为正确选项。
8．What is the text mainly about
A．A famous cook named Harry.
B．Delicious Harry's hamburgers.
C．Harry and his famous restaurants.
D．The birthday party in Harry's restaurants.
解析：选C。主旨大意题。本文从第一段的“One famous name is Harry's Hamburgers.”就开始介绍哈利和他的快餐店，后面的几段介绍了哈利对于一些公益事业的关注，同时也介绍了在他的餐馆里孩子们过生日的情景等，所以C项符合主题。

3．Although the fire was fierce and spread quickly, Edward________to save the little girl trapped in the fire at last.

解析：选C。由by the enemy可知，此处为被动语态；由were able to可知，应用一般过去时，故选C项。be surrounded by ...意为“被……所包围”，as引导的是让步状语从句，故需倒装。
8．—Why don't we use our natural resources and ________ to develop tourism.
— Yes, that's a good idea.
A．scene B．scenery
C．view D．sight
解析：选B。考查名词辨析。问句句意：为什么我们不利用我们的自然资源和景色来发展旅游业呢？scenery指某一特定区域的整体自然风景，符合题意，故选B。
9．The government must take ________ to prevent the water of the river ________.
A．measure; polluting
B．measures; from polluting
C．measure; polluted
D．measures; being polluted
解析：选D。句意：政府必须采取措施来阻止河水被污染。take measures “采取措施”；the water与pollute之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用被动语态。
10．A dog was knocked down by a car while running across the road, his owner ________ with others without noticing it.
A．was chatting B．chatting

When I first started to learn Spanish at the age of 12, I knew I would want to live in Spain as an adult.Something drew me here, powerfully.I pursued a Spanish degree and spent my third year studying in Spain.
At first, the difference in working culture really struck me.People work very long a day — usually from 9：00 am to 7：00 pm.But they'll always take time for a decent lunch break or to enjoy a coffee at a café.There's none of that miserable business of stuffing a sandwich at your desk at 1：00 pm as in Britain.
I have also found it difficult to get used to the late nights.People are out at restaurants with their kids at 11：00 pm, and top rating television programmes are on at 1：00 am.It is a sleepless nation, but they have got used to it from a young age.Most foreign people, of course, are in a daze (迷乱) for the first few months.I still drop_off at 11：00 pm, when the night's just getting started.
Spanish guys are much more confident than the British.They'll chat you up, they're outspoken and they go after what they want.They say the macho (大男子气的) culture has changed a lot.You can see this in the ads for family violence hotlines (热线) on Spanish television.Spain has a horrible record for it, but when I was here in 2009, it wasn't talked about.There's a sense that the nation is growing up when it comes to gender politics.
The Spanish can't make a decent cup of tea, and I miss my friends and family, but that's it.I enjoy my life here very much.
5．We know that in Spain ________.
A．people usually have a nice cup of tea at noon
B．people don't spend much time on their work
C．people usually have a sandwich for lunch at work
D．people usually take a good break from work at noon
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的“But they'll always take time for a decent lunch break or to enjoy a coffee at a café.”可知应选D。
6．What does the underlined part “drop off” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Fall asleep. B．Go out.
C．Stay up. D．Stand up.
解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据still的语境可知作者是说即使现在，他也在晚上十一点就“睡着”了。
7．It is implied in Paragraph 4 that ________.
A．women in Spain are not allowed to work
B．Spanish guys are not as macho as before
C．Spanish guys are not as confident as before
D．people in Spain don't care about family violence
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第四段的“the macho culture has changed a lot ...but when I was here in 2009, it wasn't talked about及the nation is growing up”可知，现在西班牙男人的大男子主义已经不像以前那样严重了。
8．In which section of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage
A．Education. B．Geography.
C．Lifestyle. D．Kids.
解析：选C。推理判断题。通读全文，可知作者主要是根据自己的亲身体验，来讲述西班牙人的生活方式，故选C。

A Reno man is being called a hero for saving two lives. He made a great fire rescue, pulling an elderly man and a young boy from a smoke filled home. It happened on Wednesday morning.
It all started when Joan Wiggins heard a smoke alarm in her home going off. She ran next door to her son in law Robert Frank's home to get help. The fire had trapped 8 year old Dalton Newlan inside his bedroom. His 76 year old grandfather, Ed Bellville, was also trapped in the house. Frank was able to pull the screen off the window and pull the boy out to safety. He then turned his attention to saving Bellville.
The house was filled with smoke. It was difficult to see things. Frank walked by Bellville at least once without seeing him. The smoke was choking both of them. Bellville's health was already poor and the smoke only made it worse. He's now at a Wichita hospital listed in dangerous condition.

C．satisfying; as long as D．satisfying; as far as
解析：选C。句意：“你认为你的新工作怎样？”“现在找到一份令人满意的工作太难了，以至于我几乎不在乎那是什么工作，只要能谋生就行了。”as/so long as用来引导条件状语从句，意为“只要”。

33．Generally speaking, children like talking about what they can do ________ adults usually like talking about what they can't.
A．so B．although
C．for D．while

Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22. Take some time to find out about how one man, who was determined to change the way we treated our planet, didn't stop until he had made a difference.
In 1963, Senator Gaylord Nelson wasn't happy with the earth's condition. He wanted to clean up the planet, solve pollution and environmental problems.A senator (参议员) is someone US citizens choose to help make laws, so Gaylord had a lot of power. He went to John F. Kennedy, the President at the time, with his ideas. The President agreed that the planet's environment was a serious issue, so President Kennedy went around the country on a five day tour to promote the idea of cleaning up the planet. People began making small changes but it wasn't enough.
A few years later, Senator Nelson decided to put one day aside every year for the cause of saving the planet.On April 22,1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated. More than 20 million people took part in Earth Day activities in 1970. Since then, Earth Day has become an international holiday. People all over the world are doing something to make the Earth a cleaner, better place.
A rock band named Dramarama wrote a song about Earth Day in 1993 called What Are We Gonna Do. Encouraging your family to recycle on a regular basis is a good way to help the Earth.

About one third of primary school students aged 7～12 years old use cellphones (手机); by the time they get to high school that figure has shot up to 96 percent，according to a government survey released(发布). They're using their phones to read books, listen to music, chat with friends and surf the Internet — an average of 124 minutes a day for high school girls and 92 minutes for boys.
The cellphones will eventually become their main means of communication(交流)．Education professor Tetsuro Saito said a survey of 1,600 middle school students aged around 14 found that about 60 percent carried cellphones and nearly half used them to send 20 or more emails a day.
Most middle school cellphone users almost never used their phones to talk, the survey found. Saito said children seemed to want the security (安全)of communicating with someone, without the bother of dealing with a real person.
“Communication ability is sure to decline(下降)as cellphones and other devices are now getting between people，” he said.
Tonny, a student, said，“I send some 20 emails a day. There're people I don't talk with — even if I see them at school. I just exchange emails with them. I guess we're connected only by a machine.”
Saito's survey found that students can also use their cellphones as an emotional (情感的) support. More than 60 percent of students who said they don't enjoy being with their families send 20 or more emails a day, compared with 35 percent of those happy with their families.
语篇解读：本文主要讲述了中小学生使用手机读书、听音乐、聊天、上网。专家认为中小学生使用手机表明他们在现实中与人的交流能力下降，并且与父母相处得不好。
60．High school students use their cellphones in many fields EXCEPT________.
A．in their studies
B．in communication
C．in entertainment
D．in committing crimes (犯罪)
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第一段的“They're using their phones to read books, listen to music, chat with friends and surf the Internet－an average of 124 minutes a day for high school girls and 92 minutes for boys.”可知D项不包括在内。
61．Though cellphones play an important role, they also bring disadvantages like________.
A．a rise in teenagers' emotional problems and bullying(恃强凌弱)
B．a rise in the conflicts between teenagers and their parents
C．a growing teenagers' inability to get along well with others
D．an increasing number of teenagers playing games on the phones
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第四段“Communication ability is sure to decline as cellphones and other devices are now getting between people，” he said.可知。
62．According to Saito's survey, middle school students________.
A．use cellphones mainly to talk about their studies with each other
B．get more dependent (依赖的) on phones as their problems at home increase
C．often use cellphones to talk about their problems with teachers
D．become more dependent on cellphones as they grow older

B．There are more benefits than harm to kids behind cellphone screens.
C．Teenagers have become victims (受害者) of cellphones.

C
One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive (印象深刻的)．We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging (安排) the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa (签证) without an invitation. In the Italian consulate (领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about 30km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable hosts, comfortable living conditions delighting us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was a Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It's not difficult! The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you're also planning a “single” trip, don't forget to take a Russian Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和他的朋友策划的意大利之行。文章介绍了旅游前的准备工作，如自己如何取得签证，还有在意大利旅游时当地的住宿条件，以及自己策划意大利之旅的优点以及感受。
64．Why does the author want to go to Italy again
A．He had a great time there.
B．Italy has a lot of attractions.
C．His friend invited him there.
D．He didn't stay in Italy long enough.
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第二段“The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again！”结合第四段的内容以及最后一段中的“The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves.”可知， 意大利之行他们玩得很尽兴，给他们留下了深刻的印象，所以想再去意大利，因此选A。
65．What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip
A．Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling.
B．Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.
C．Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.
D．Solving the ticket problem far in advance.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation.”可知，最难的事情是在没有邀请函的情况下向意大利大使馆申请签证，因此选择B。A、C、D虽然文中都涉及了，但是都不符合题干要求。
66．In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains________.
A．the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome
B．the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
C．what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip
D．the reason why the mistress gave them some advice
解析：选B。主旨大意题。根据第四段对旅馆周围环境、交通情况以及该旅馆的好处的介绍，可知作者在第四段主要讲对旅馆满意的原因。
67．From the text we can know the author________.
A．enjoys traveling everywhere in the world
B．likes being accompanied by tour guides
C．advises us to arrange trips by ourselves
D．met with a lot of his countrymen in Italy
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第一段说不想在旅游团的拥挤的人群中，也不想错过更多亲近意大利的机会，以及最后一段的“Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself.”可以推断出应该选择C。其余选项没有依据。
D
Next Thursday, November 27th (the fourth Thursday in November), Americans will gather with family and friends to share a big meal to celebrate Thanksgiving. They might play games, tell stories or watch football on television together.
Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people. From Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, the 100 year old man lives in the same house where he celebrated a great number of Thanksgivings.
But he says it was different when he was a child. Mr Rosa was just three when his family came to America.“When we were small children, Thanksgiving was never a very big holiday because at the time we actually didn't pay too much attention to it.” But, also, he says, his parents faced a language difficulty.“They were from Italy and spoke very broken English, because they were the first generation that came over here.”
And the family had little money. There were six Rosa children. Mr Rosa's father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania. The family was not able to have big, costly dinners, especially during the hard time of the 1930's. But Mr Rosa says Thanksgiving dinners became a tradition in his own family after he married and had children.
This Thanksgiving, Angelo Rosa will go to the home of his daughter about twenty minutes away. He will celebrate the day with loved ones, including his great grandchildren.
On the other side of the country, Cathie Dahlstrom is preparing dishes for a group of 35 to 40 people in Concord, California. We asked Ms Dahlstrom what she is thankful for this year, her first answer is “The election.” She said she also is deeply grateful for her very large family. Ms Dahlstrom has one daughter.She has five younger brothers and sisters.She also has eight stepbrothers and sisters. Many of them and their families will be at the Thanksgiving dinner.
68．From Ms Dahlstrom's words, we can infer that________.
A．she is content with both her family, relatives and the society
B．she is thankful for her effort in the election and her family
C．she has always been celebrating Thanksgiving this way
D．her daughter has a large family with stepbrothers and sisters
解析：选A。细节推断题。Ms Dahlstrom有两个感激：“总统选举”和“大家庭”；由此推断出她无论对社会还是对家庭都是充满感激和爱的。
69．As a whole, Thanksgiving in America is________.
A．a happy gathering with family members, relatives and friends
B．a grand family dinner party as well as a tourist holiday
C．a great social gathering of entertainment and achievement
D．a large gathering of people of different generations
解析：选A。细节归纳题。对文中这两个家庭的大致叙述，不难看出，感恩节就是家庭成员、亲戚的团聚，而不是旅游、冒险，也不是不同代人之间的相会。
70．Who probably wrote the passage
A．A close friend of Mr Rosa and Ms Dahlstrom's.
B．A journalist for a radio or TV station.
C．A university student who majors in history.
D．An actress who wants to experience real life.
解析：选B。体裁判断题。文中数次出现直接引语，在最后一段中出现了“We asked”。由此判断出采访形式是广播或电视节目报道。

Is it right for young people to celebrate foreign festivals such as Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day and Christmas Day？______________________________________________________

参考范文：
Is it right for young people to celebrate foreign festivals such as Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day and Christmas Day Some people say yes. They think that celebrating foreign festivals is a fashionable activity because it helps not only to make friends but also to gain more knowledge about foreign culture.
Others, however, don't think so. They believe that it is foolish for the Chinese to celebrate foreign festivals, which will greatly affect people's feelings on our own traditional festivals. Some people even consider it as a culture invasion.
As for me, I don't think foreign festivals are very bad things. In fact, the world is becoming “smaller” — people all over the world are becoming a big family. On the other hand, I think we should pay more attention to our own traditional festivals, because they are part of the root of our Chinese culture.
