The London Eye，w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hich is 450 feet in height above the Thames River，is the world’s biggest spinning structure.It is one hundred feet taller than Big Ben，and weighs 1,600 tons.It was built to celebrate the year 2000.Maybe building such a big spinning structure suggested that people longed for bigger and better things in the future.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Why did people th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ink of building the London Eye？In fact it was inspired by great structures of the past like the very first observation wheel built for the Chicago World Expo of 1893.It’s twice the size of the wheel，but three times lighter，and much more comfortable.The London Eye is keeping natives and visitors entertained and awed (敬畏)．21·世纪*教育网
In London Eye，there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) are 32 capsules (舱)．Each of the capsules can hold up to 25 people.And they’re air conditioned in summer，heated in winter.From these capsules the visitors can see the most beautiful views of London.www-2-1-cnjy-com
It was difficult t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o assemble (安装) and put a wheel of this size.And it required new technology and a lot of imagination.The parts of London Eye were sent_up the Thames River，and the wheel was assembled on temporary (暂时的) platforms on the river.Lifting it into an upright position was a major challenge.It took a week to winch (吊) it up to its final position.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Now the London ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Eye is regarded as a monument to new millennium.And many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.2-1-c-n-j-y

For me，my great momen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t came when I actually decided to accept an opportunity to teach English in Shanghai.There were times when I almost gave up because of fear.But in the end I came here.
Last summer，a Canadia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Chinese woman who teaches in Shanghai just happened to come to the place where I was working in the Seattle area.We talked and I said I had always wanted to teach abroad.She said，“Come to our school.”“Okay，” I replied，but I wasn’t sure if I meant it.
We met later for cof ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fee.She answered all of my questions about the school，and gave me the website address and the email address of the person to contact.It took six months for me to finally decide on the job.
First of all，i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Shanghai there are many western places to eat western food and lots of interesting things to do.Also，there is a great subway system with directions and stops posted in English.Finding your way around is a challenge in a new place.But that isn’t hard here.Taxis are very cheap；you can always jump in one and get home.There are also a lot of westerners in Shanghai，so it is fairly easy to ask for directions.Young Chinese people are much more likely to speak English and they are wonderfully helpful.
I earn almos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t $1,000 per month and live in a nice rent free apartment.My biggest expense has been food as I am a vegetarian(素食者)and also on a diet.I still have not got used to the traditional Chinese food，but if you like it，you’ll be in heaven.
Here I have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a good place to live in，new friends，a high salary，and a good job.In the US，getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman.
5．We can infer that at first the writer ________.
A．wasn’t interested in teaching abroad at all
B．wasn’t sure whether to accept the job to teach in Shanghai 21*cnjy*com
C．knew she would be popular as a teacher in China
D．thought the Canadian Chinese woman was joking
6．According to the passage，it seems that ________.
A．there are no good restaurants for the writer in Shanghai
B．the writer sometimes feels lonely in Shanghai
C．the writer doesn’t like traveling in Shanghai
D．the writer likes her life in Shanghai
7．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to 2·1·c·n·j·y
A．Living in a new place.
B．Dealing with a challenge.
C．Finding your way around.
D．Taking a taxi.
8．According to the last but one paragraph，the writer ________.
A．is satisfied with her weight
B．doesn’t have to pay for rent
C．doesn’t like eating vegetables
D．is crazy about the traditional Chinese food

For years，many p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eople would not believe that smoke could attack so many parts of the body in so many ways.Study shows，however，that tobacco isn’t one single thing.At least 60% of it is gas—20 different kinds of gas.And one of these is the deadly carbon monoxide(CO)．
In factories， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the amount of this gas in the air is measured，and it must be kept under fixed，safe levels.But there is 640 times this safe amount in cigarette smoke.21世纪教育网版权所有
Oxygen is carried ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )through your body by the red blood cells.But this poison gas，CO，will get the blood cells before the oxygen can.So，if you smoke your blood carries five to ten times more of this deadly gas than normal.To make up for this，your body must make more red cells.
The Oxygen in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )your blood passes into your tissues.But here again CO means trouble.It keeps the oxygen from passing into your tissues as fast as it should.Because of this，cigarette country is always about 8,000 feet above sea level.Someone who smokes and lives at sea level gets as little oxygen as a non smoker at an altitude of nearly two miles.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

All Eskimos live mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st of their lives close to sea or fresh water.They may follow game inland for several hundred miles，but they always return to the shores of rivers，lakes，or seas.Eskimo land has a bare look.Large rocks，pebbles，and sand cover much of the surface.Plants called lichen (地衣) grow on the rocks，and where there is enough soil，grass，flowers，and even small bushes manage to live.No trees can grow on Eskimo land，so geographers sometimes call it the Arctic plains.There are some animals in Eskimo land，such as rabbits，which eat the plants.Other animals，like the white fox and the gray wolf，eat the rabbits.The Eskimo is a meat eater，too，and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.21cnjy.com
The Eskimo year h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as two main parts：a long，cold winter and a short，cool summer.Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed.Summer is the best time，as food is usually plentiful.But it is also the time when Eskimos are very busy.Winter is never far away，and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store，for seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.21·世纪*教育网
The Far North is som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etimes called the land of the midnight sun.This is true in the middle of summer，for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland.But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sunshine at all.Around Oct.21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun set directly south of them，and they don’t see it again until February 22nd.All places on earth get about the same amount of daylight during a year.As a result，if summer is lighter，winter has to be darker.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Winter nights in t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he Far North are seldom pitch black.As in the rest of the world，the stars and moon provide a little light.The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see.And with the ground covered with snow，even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimo’s eyes.
1．Which of the following statements is NOT true
A．Eskimos do not usually eat wolves.
B．Eskimos like to chase one another.
C．Eskimos depend heavily on water.
D．Eskimos are meat eaters.
2．What’s the meanin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g of the underlined word “pitch black” in Paragraph 4
A．Dark with a little light.
B．A little dark.
C．Not dark at all.
D．Extremely dark.
3．From the pass ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )age，we can infer all of the following EXCEPT that ________.
A．Eskimos are more likely to eat wolves in summer
B．Eskimo women are responsible for housework
C．meat is the main source of food for the Eskimo
D．hunting is an important part of Eskimo life
4．Why is summer lighter in the Far North
A．Because the Far North is far away from the sun.
B．Because the sun is not seen for five months of the year.21世纪教育网版权所有

Dreams can be fam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iliar and strange，fantastical or boring，but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn.In a recent study，scientists found a connection between nap time dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.
In the study,99 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer，trying to get through a virtual maze(迷宫)．The maze was difficult，and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried—making it even more difficult.They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was.
For the first 90 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )minutes of a five hour break，half of the participants stayed awake and half were told to take a short nap.Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts.Participants who took a nap were asked about their dreams before sleep and after sleep—and they were awakened within a minute of sleep to describe their dreams.
Stickgold，a n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )euroscientist(神经科学家)，wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren’t moving，during sleep.21世纪教育网版权所有
Four of the 50 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze.Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working；others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze.When these four people tried the computer maze again，they were able to find the tree faster than before their naps.21教育网
Stickgold suggests the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) dream itself doesn’t help a person learn—it’s the other way around.He suspects that the dream was caused by the brain processes associated with learning.
All four of the pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople who dreamed about the task had done poorly the first time，which makes Stickgold wonder if the dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult.People who had other dreams，or people who didn’t take a nap，didn’t show the same improvement.www.21-cn-jy.com
1．Before hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing a short nap，participants of the experiment were asked to ________.
A．stay in a different place in the maze
B．design a virtual maze which is difficult to get through2·1·c·n·j·y
C．experience the experiment and try to remember something21·世纪*教育网
D．get through a virtual maze on a computer from the same placewww-2-1-cnjy-com
2．What can we learn from the text
A．Participan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts who took a nap were required to express their thoughts.
B．Some dreams may encourage people to invent something new.2-1-c-n-j-y
C．Participants who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) dreamed about films could finish the task more easily.
D．Participants whos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e dreams had something to do with the maze could find the tree faster.
3．After doing what t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hey were asked on computers，participants ________.
A．were divided into two groups to take different tasks at break 21*cnjy*com
B．were so tired as to fall asleep
C．felt bored with the experiment and they were sleepy【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
D．were asked to remember their experiment separately 【出处：21教育名师】
4．According to Stickgold，________.
A．every person may dream about what they learned
B．people’s brain pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ocesses may still be connected with their learning in their dreams
C．once people’s eyes s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )top moving，they are sure to dream about something

The Amazon River ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )carries rain and snowfall from high in the Andes Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean.Along its journey，the river has created a unique environment that serves people beyond the borders of Brazil.The Amazon River basin is possibly the earth’s most fragile and necessary ecosystem.The basin holds an astonishing 20 percent of the earth’s fresh water，more than the next six largest rivers combined.The flow of the Amazon is so powerful that it dilutes (冲淡) the salt water more than one hundred miles of beyond the coastline.21世纪教育网版权所有
The Amazon R ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iver basin is a rainforest or jungle.It is home to a diversity of life forms found nowhere else on earth.The rainforest includes more than two million species of insects，one hundred thousand plants，two thousand species of fish and six hundred mammals.The basin also has huge reserves of rare metal.The flow of the Amazon River can also be harnessed to provide hydroelectric (水力发电的) power.Trees and vegetation in the basin help to balance CO2 and oxygen.Trees and vegetation use CO2 to make their food and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
The rainfores ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t of the Amazon River basin provides a valuable resource to the entire planet，but it is being destroyed.People are moving into the Amazon basin and clearing the rainforest to build cities.The rainforest is often cleared to create land for feeding cattle.Finally，miners clear the land in order to get its minerals.21*cnjy*com
The deforestatio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n (砍伐森林) of the Amazon basin may have long reaching effects.When the trees are removed，we reduce the amount of CO2 taken from the air.Some scientists predict that the build up of CO2 will cause global warming.If the temperature of the earth rises，polar ice will melt，which will raise the level of the ocean and possibly，flood south Florida.2·1·c·n·j·y

A．has changed the environment on the Andes Mountains
B．is becoming more and more fragile due to droughts and floods
C．is the source o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f a fifth of the total amount of freshwater in the world

Who are these peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple rushing by you in the street More than 215 million people now call America “home”，but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world.If you look at the names on shop windows，you will see that Americans come from many different lands.The idea that these people，who once were strangers to the United States，have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American” is really not true.In fact，what exists in America is more often a kind of “side by side”living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits.They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools，business，and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home.This living “side by side” has both advantages and disadvantages.Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another.However，there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands.There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress，food，and social customs in America.Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States，in churches，music，food，national groups，or newspapers.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

三、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Electric cars ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )are dirty.In fact，not only are they dirty，they might even be more dirty than their gasoline powered cousins. 21*cnjy*com
People in Ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lifornia love to talk about “zero emissions vehicles”，but_people_in
California_seem_to_b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e_clueless_about_where_electricity_comes_from.Power plants mostly use fire to make it.Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells，we get our electricity from generators.Generators are fueled by something—usually coal，oil，but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants.There are a few wind farms and geothermal(地热的) plants as well，but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.21*cnjy*com
In other words，tho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se “zero emissions” cars are likely coal burning cars.It’s just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean.It is not.It’s as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can’t see it，it’s not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle；a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it.But when you take that gas(or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity，you waste a nice part of that energy，mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator，through the transmission(传送) lines，etc.
A gallon of ga ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s may propel your car 25 miles.But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won’t get you nearly as far—so electric cars burn more fuel than gas powered ones.If our electricity came mostly from nukes；or geothermal，or hydro，or solar，or wind，then an electric car truly would be clean.But for political，technical，and economic reasons，we don’t use much of those energy sources.
In addition，electric c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars’ batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill.And finally，when cars are the polluters，the pollution is spread across all the roads.When it’s a power plant，though，all the junk is in one place.Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated，but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
36．What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2
A．People see the California Greens everywhere.
B．People in California love to talk about zero emissions vehicles.
C．People in Californi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a love to have their roofs covered with solar cells.
D．People in Cali ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fornia have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal，
oil，etc.
37．What is the main idea of the text
A．Electric cars are not clean at all.
B．Electric cars are better than gasoline powered ones.
C．People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries.
D．Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle.【出处：21教育名师】
38．The electr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )icity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________.
A．not less than 25 miles
B．as far as 50 miles
C．as far as 25 miles
D．not more than 25 miles
39．According to the text，electric cars ________.
A．are more environmentally friendly
B．burn more fuel than gas powered ones
C．are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D．are poisonous for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill

Kieron Williamson，a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )seven year old boy，is being considered as an art genius after selling 16 paintings for 18,000 pounds in just 14 minutes.This boy has artistic skills that would be the envy of any serious painter and his paintings invited comparisons with those of Pablo Picasso’s，a wonder child who became one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.21教育网
It all began o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n a family holiday to Cornwall when Kieron was five.Inspired by the seaside view，he asked his parents for his first drawing paper.From that moment on，he was deeply interested in drawing.While supportive，Kieron’s parents are careful not to push their son.He only paints when and what he wants.
He has a waiting list ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of hundreds and requests for his work are increasing.His father said the sale of Kieron’s works held last November even attracted a buyer from Japan.“We had people driving down that night.There were people on the door waiting to come in the morning that had been standing outside.The phones were going mad as soon as the door opened at nine o’clock and within 14 minutes all the 16 pictures had gone，” he said.
All the talent，m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oney and high praise could so easily go to a young boy’s head，but Kieron said his friends didn’t give his achievement much care.“Some of them want to be as good as me and most of them think...Umm，‘you are not too special’，”he said.
Kieron’s favourite ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) painter is British artist Edward Seago and he has spent some of his earnings on buying a work of his.The rest is being invested by his parents until he reaches 25.Kieron’s parents and his younger sister Billi Jo don’t see him as anything other than a normal seven year old who likes to run around the house and who’s mad about football.But for now，with so much still to learn，there’s only one thing he wants to be when he grows up.
40．According to Paragraph 1，we can know Kieron Williamson ________.
A．is one of the greatest artists
B．draws as well as Picasso did
C．has unusual ability to paint
D．can paint 16 paintings in 14 minutes
41．What made Kieron Williamson begin to love painting 21·cn·jy·com
A．The view at the seaside.
B．His first painting paper.
C．His parents’ encouragement.
D．What he saw and heard during the family holiday.【版权所有：21教育】
42．In most of Kieron Williamson’s friends’ eyes，________.
A．Kieron isn’t worth the praise
B．Kieron is an example to them
C．Kieron is famous but a little proud
D．Kieron is not very different from them
43．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．Kieron likes doing sports more than painting
B．Billi Jo envies her brother for his talent in painting
C．Kieron’s parents spent much money on his painting
D．Kieron had become famous before he sold the 16 pictures

Elephants sc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ored a big win in Dohar，Qatar，on March 22,2010.Representatives from 175 countries met in the Middle Eastern country.They voted to continue a ban on the sale of ivory(象牙)．Two African nations，Tanzania and Zambia，had asked to open up the ivory trade.
People feared ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that weakening a 21 year old ban on the sale of ivory would encourage illegal hunting and hurt elephant populations.African elephants once numbered in the millions.Today，there are fewer than 500,000.
“People born in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )100 years should be able to see an elephant，” said Noah Wekesa，Kenya’s minister of forest and wildlife.His country voted to keep the ban.
In the 1980s，as many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) as 1 million elephants were killed throughout Africa.Hunters killed the animals for their ivory tusks，which were used to make jewelry and other things.“The slaughter of elephants in Africa was terrible，” says Paul Todd of the International Fund for Animal Welfare.The group works to protect animals.
The ivory wars cont ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inued until 1989，when the United Nations voted to ban all trade in ivory.With trade controlled，demand for ivory fell.Governments punished hunters.Elephant populations began slowly to increase.
Tanzania and Z ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ambia asked to allow ivory sales from government stockpiles(库存)．Ivory is so expensive that it’s known as “white gold”．Tanzania holds almost 200,000 pounds of ivory，which is worth as much as $20 million.Zambia has 48,000 pounds of the white gold.The countries said they need the money the ivory would bring.They say it was taken from hunters or came from animals that died naturally.
Experts believe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that trading ivory encourages illegal hunting.They felt happy about the decision which forbids the sales.“This is a rare victory for elephants，” said Jason Bell.He works to protect animals.
44．The text is mainly about ________.
A．continuing a ban on the ivory sale to protect elephants
B．protecting endangered animals around the world
C．the effects of the ivory wars of the 1980s
D．the life of elephants in the wild
45．Ivory is known as “white gold” because ________.21·世纪*教育网
A．it is as rare as white gold
B．it is being sold illegally
C．it looks like white gold
D．it is extremely valuable
46．The underlined wor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d “slaughter” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “________”．
A．protection B．killing
C．increase D．life
47．It can be learned from the text that ________.
A．most African countries disagreed to forbid the ivory trade2-1-c-n-j-y
B．Zambia has a great deal of ivory worth 4.8 million dollars
C．ivory from animals that died naturally is sold now around the world
D．the income of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )most African countries is partly from hunting elephants

The Powermat W ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ireless Charging System for iPhone 1XA claims to wirelessly charge your iPhone in three，easy steps—plug in the Powermat，place the receiver case onto your iPhone，set your iPhone on the mat and let it charge away.
In theory，it’s a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) good idea.No more looking around for your Apple charger，just drop your iPhone on the mat and walk away while it juices up your battery.
But to be perfectly ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) honest，there’s no difference，or any more convenience，to just using a plug socket charger.
Firstly，it claims to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be wireless，but you still have to find a socket to plug Powermat into.And，as it turns out，you can’t just “drop” your iPhone on to it to charge.You have to put your device(装备) into the receiver case，which connects the Powermat with your phone so it can charge.
But I had two p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )roblems with that.Firstly，the receiver is a bit stiff and took a few seconds to pull apart and then put on my iPhone.And this would be a process you would have to go through every time you want to use the Powermat because the receiver is too big and heavy to permanently keep on your phone.And if you have a case for your iPhone，this has to be removed first as it won’t fit inside the receiver.
Secondly，by the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) time you’ve remembered where you plugged the Powermat in，seized the receiver in order to put your iPhone inside it and then placed it on the mat，it probably would have taken less time to connect your device to the Apple plug it came with.So where’s the convenience
It_would_suit_someone_ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )who_works_at_home_and_only_uses_their_iPhone_there，but_the_
likelihood_of_that_is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )_very_slim.Powermat should also consider bringing out a battery powered mat too，for extra convenience and to make it mobile and properly wireless.
48．What is the main idea of the text
A．Powermat is a great idea in theory and practice.
B．People meet problems in making use of Powermat.
C．Powermat is quite suitable for people working at home.
D．Powermat is not as convenient as it claims to be.
49．The autho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r mentioned the two problems of Powermat in order to ________.
A．seek solutions B．seek for help
C．attract attention D．support his idea
50．The underlined se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntence in the last paragraph actually means ________.
A．Powermat is not practical
B．Powermat is designed for certain cases
C．few people like using Powermat
D．Powermat needs to be improved
51．What’s the a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uthor’s attitude towards the Powermat Wireless Charging System for iPhone

A．Approval. B．Disapproval.
C．Indifferent. D．Neutral.

These are some of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )new household inventions invented mostly by common people.Thus，a variety of new household items are invented every day，which help in a better functioning of household chores and in a more useful manner.
