Ⅰ.阅读理解
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.Wells’ 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.
1．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.
2．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
3．Sam would probably agree that________.
A．Mars is not really red
B．no meteorites have come from Mars
C．Mars cannot be described as a little brown
D．the ancient description of Mars’ color is true
4．What is the writer’s attitude towards 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.
5．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
Ⅱ.读写任务
阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Every afternoon hundreds of thousands of youths fill Internet cafes，and switches on a game console (游戏机)，or sit down to enter fantasy worlds.I’m talking about video games.These games can be fun and exciting，but we need to look out when this pastime becomes an addiction.
Video games can also have a bad effect on younger children who may be watching.Many video games are violent and the object in most of them is to kill other players.This does not send the right message to the children who need to be told that violence is not acceptable and need to be taught how to deal with situations maturely (成熟地)．Even if we do need to sit down and play a violent video game，we need to make sure that it does not affect the younger people around us.
Playing a computer game in our spare time is not a bad thing.Games can be a great way to relax after studying，or to improve our creativity.However，games should not become the focus of our life.We cannot be addicted to them.Meanwhile we must learn to control ourselves and spend our time more wisely.

2．以约120词对“青少年该不该玩电子游戏”进行议论，内容包括：
(1)电子游戏有何优点和缺点；

2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。

Video games，which the youth like very much，can make us relaxed or even help improve our creativity，but getting addicted to them can have bad effects.
On one hand，video games，as a kind of exciting entertainment，can make us get relaxed after long-time studying and can practise our ability of fast thinking and responding.On the other hand，the exciting games always get youth lost in them.Then，the young students would pay more attention to playing virtual games instead of focusing on study，which without doubt will ruin their future.Given this，our teachers and parents are strongly against our playing video games，which often unexpectedly has opposite effect.
I think teachers and parents should allow students to play some video games under the instructions on the basis that it won’t affect their studies.

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg.I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended，as there are a whole lot of antique(古董)shops near my home.So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me.I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception.I was quite wrong.The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop，though slightly more polite，was just the same，and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind.I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper，“Would you like to buy a chair？Twenty pounds，” I said.“OK，” he said.“I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg，” I said.“Yes，I saw that.It’s nothing.”
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited.“What will you do with it？” I asked.“Oh，it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it，” I said.“What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me，” he said.“Yes，I know，but I’ve changed my mind.I am sorry.I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy，” he said.Then，suddenly the_penny_dropped.“I know what you want.You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right，” I said.“And what would you have done if I had walked in and said，‘Would you mend this chair for me？’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it，” he said.“We don’t do repairs，not enough money in it and too much trouble.But I’ll mend this for you.Shall we say for a fiver？” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
1．We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer________.
A．was rather impolite
B．was warmly received
C．asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair
D．asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
2．The underlined word “approach” in the second paragraph means “________”．
A．plan for dealing with things
B．decision to sell things
C．idea of repairing things
D．way of doing things
3．The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper________.
A．changed his mind
B．accepted the offer
C．saw the writer’s purpose
D．decided to help the writer
4．How much did the writer pay?
A．￡ 5. B．￡ 7.
C．￡ 20. D．￡ 27.
5．From the text，we can learn that the writer was________.
A．honest B．careful
C．smart D．funny

The Winter Palace was built between 1754 and 1762 for Empress Elizabeth，the daughter of Peter the Great.Unfortunately，Elizabeth died before the palace was completed and only Catherine the Great and her successors were able to enjoy the great interior(内部) of Elizabeth’s home.Many parts of the palace’s impressive interior have been remodeled since then，particularly after 1837，when a huge fire destroyed most of the building.Today the Winter Palace，together with four more buildings arranged side by side along the river embankment，houses the extensive collections of the Hermitage.The Hermitage Museum is the largest art gallery in Russia and is among the largest and most respected art museums in the world.
The museum was founded in 1764 when Catherine the Great bought a collection of 255 paintings from the German city of Berlin.Today，the Hermitage boasts over 2.7 million exhibits and displays，a diverse range of art and artifacts(手工艺品) from all over the world and throughout history (from Ancient Egypt to the early 20th century Europe)．The Hermitage’s collections include works by Leonardo da Vinci，Michelangelo，Raphael and Titian，a collection of Rembrandts and Rubens，many French Impressionist works by Renoir，Cezanne，Monet and Pissarro，and several works by Rodin.The collection is really worth a stop for all those interested in art and history.The experts say that if you were to spend a minute looking at each exhibit on show in the Hermitage，you would need 11 years before you’d seen them all.However，we suggest you choose a guided tour instead!

More than two thirds of the world’s polar bears will be wiped out by 2050，according to a shocking new study.By then，scientists say，global warming will have melted 42 percent of the Arctic sea ice.By 2100，only a very few of these important creatures will be left.
The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey.The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne，who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals，which are their main food.Without enough ice，polar bears would be forced to go onto the land，where they are poorly skilled hunters，and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time.Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.
The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears，on the ground，from spotter planes and in the lab，using computer models.Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says.They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer had been forecasting.Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an all-time low.
However，not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale.Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads.At least ten international companies offer bear-hunting trips.
6．What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?
A．He is an animal scientist.
B．He is a protector of animals working for the US government.
C．He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
D．He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.
7．Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?
A．Because polar bears can’t catch enough food without ice.
B．Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.
C．Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.
D．Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.
8．After a six-month study，some scientists fear that________.
A．there is something wrong with their computers
B．polar bears will disappear even faster than they ever expected
C．their computer models are not as accurate as they expected
D．global warming will destroy everything in the Arctic
9．What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．The forecast about the future of polar bears is not correct.
B．Global warming won’t have any effect on hunting trips in the Arctic.
C．Polar bears are an endangered species as a result of bear-hunting.
D．People don’t pay enough attention to the protection of endangered species.
10．What is this passage mainly about?
A．Global warming makes the whole world different.
B．Human beings are responsible for the endangered species.
C．Most of the polar bears will be wiped out by the end of this century.
D．Scientists have found that most animals in the Arctic will die out by the end of this century.

The Fight Against Youth Smoking
Since I took office I’ve done everything in my power to protect our children from harm.We’ve worked to make their streets and their schools safer，to give them something positive to do after school and before their parents get home.We’ve worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous，illegal and wrong.
Today，I want to talk to you about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our nation’s children from an even more deadly threat：smoking.Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS，alcohol，car accidents，murders，suicides，drugs and fires combined.Nearly 90 percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18.Consider this：3,000 children start to smoke every day illegally and 1,000 of them will die sooner because of it.
This is a national tragedy that every American should be honor-bound to help prevent.For more than five years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start，launching a nationwide campaign to educate them about the dangers of smoking，to reduce their access to tobacco products，and to severely restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people.If we do these，we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.That means if we act now，we have it in our power to stop 3 million children from smoking and to save a million lives as a result.
1．What has the author done in his power?
A．To look after our children.
B．To clean the street.
C．To teach our children.
D．To protect our children from harm.
2．Compared with other disasters，what kills more people every day?
A．Smoking. B．Car accidents.
C．Drugs. D．Murders.
3．How many children start to smoke every day illegally?
A．1,000. B．3,000.
C．90. D．18.
4．For more than five years what have they done to stop their children from smoking?
A．To educate them about the dangers of smoking.
B．To reduce their access to tobacco products.
C．To restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people.
D．All of the above.
5．How many children will be stopped from smoking if we act now?
A．1 million. B．1.5 million.
C．3 million. D．3,000.

Some people argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill the essence(本质) of sport-seeking for personal excellence.Children kick a football around for fun.When they get older and play for local school teams，they become competitive but they still enjoy playing.A single person’s representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself; he has to think only about winning.He is responsible for an entire nation’s hopes，dreams and fame.
A good example is the football World Cup.Football is the world’s most important sport.It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up.Winning the World Cup is perhaps the greatest of international sporting success.Mention “Argentina” to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football.In a sense，winning the World Cup “put Argentina on the map”．
Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational(失去理性的) about the World Cup.People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1996.Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars，and even their houses and spent all their money traveling to Argentina where the finals were played.
So am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sports? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved that most skillful at football，their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really.But it’s known that you won，and that in one way at least your country is best.
1．What is the writer’s main purpose in the passage?
A．To explain the role of sport.
B．To compare Scotland with ArgentinA．
C．To show that Argentina is better than all others.
D．To prove that football is the world’s most important sport.
2．According to the passage，Argentina is world-famous because of its________.
A．clear position on the map
B．successes in the football World Cup
C．excellence at all important sports
D．large number of sports fans and supporters
3．According to the passage，if a sportsman thinks about winning，he will________.
A．be irrational B．be successful
C．fail to succeed D．lose enjoyment
4．What is the writer’s attitude towards international games?
A．Nations that meet on football are unlikely to meet on a battle field.
B．Nations that win in international games prove best on the sports field at least.
C．Nations that win the football World Cup are considered as best in all ways.
D．Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways.
5．From this passage，we can infer that________.
A．we should learn from England
B．we should play football only for fun，not for fame

A
Dolphins(海豚) are not fish，but warm-blooded animals.They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language.In this way they are like other animals，such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.
Like some animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw.
Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for The Penguin.
Today，some people continue to kill dolphins，but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

A．live in groups
B．have large brains

28．Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?

C．Jack is different from other dolphins
D．dolphins should be protected by law
30．What is the main idea of this passage?

D．Some countries passed laws to protect dolphins.
B
At the beginning of the 20th century there were more than a million lions worldwide.Today there are less than 30,000 in the wild.The remaining lions are increasingly threatened by habitat loss，hunting activities to protect farms and cattle.
For generations，Masai tribesmen on the large African plains in southeastern Kenya have hunted lions—to protect their farms and cattle.Today they celebrate the lions’ life.
Noah is an elder in the Masai community.“We have decided as a community of the Masai to lay down our spears，and there will be no more killing of lions in our community.” He is part of a group of Masai visiting the United States promoting (推广) the Predator (捕食性动物) Compensation Program.
Conservation International’s Frank Hawkins explains，“The Masai have been living with wildlife for many generations and it has been a conflicting relationship in many ways.They compete with the animals for food as lions eat their cattle.We’re trying to find ways in which the wildlife will become something useful to them.” They had the Predator Compensation Fund founded in 2003.After much discussion，a group of Masai farmers agreed to protect lions.In turn，if lions or other predators kill their cattle，the Masai owner will be paid market value for the dead animals from the fund.
One man said that in the past，when a lion killed cattle，they killed it on the spot.And now，after the start of the program，the Masai see the lion population growing.Since 2003，only four lions have been killed here.
31．What is this passage mainly about?
A．The wildlife in the world.
B．Lions and the Masai.
C．The reason why lions are killed.
D．The living ways of the Masai.
32．What is the aim of the Predator Compensation Program?
A．To protect people in the wild.
B．To help the Masai protect their farms and cattle.
C．To protect lions only.
D．To protect the wildlife.
33．Masai tribesmen killed lions before 2003 ______.
A．because lions were dangerous for people there
B．because dead lions were worth a lot of money
C．because they wanted lions’ meat
D．because they wanted to protect their farms and cattle
34．According to the passage，why haven’t Masai tribesmen killed many lions since 2003?
A．Because lions don’t eat their cattle any more.
B．Because they will be fined if they kill lions there.
C．Because if a lion kills their cattle，they will be paid for the dead animals from the fund.
D．Because there are less than 30,000 lions in the wild now.
35．What do you think of the Masai?
A．Reasonable. B．Cruel.
C．Poor. D．Stupid.
C
1．Live in the City—Many of us yearn to live in the country，so we can be closer to nature and enjoy peace and quiet.However，when we do this there are less wild areas for wildlife.We need to develop a new environmental theory，which encourages people to stay in the cities.We have to make cities more livable and leave the remaining wild areas for the wildlife.
2．Support Strict Zoning—Land use zoning(土地用途分区管制) is one of the few tools the government can use to protect wetlands，natural areas and environmental corridors.Unfortunately，such zoning is often opposed by powerful land developers or political forces.It’s important for citizens to show support for zoning to off-set these negative pressures.
3．Support Organizations Preserving Rare Properties—Several groups specialize in buying and keeping pieces of important wildlife habitat which are threatened with development.
4．Create Habitat in Your Backyard—You can make your own backyard habitat for wildlife by planting native plants，putting nest boxes in the trees and so on.
5．Save Energy—We must work together to use less energy.This is important to stop climate change and global warming.Saving energy also reduces direct habitat losses and air and water pollution，all of which threaten wildlife.
6．Limit Your Family Size—Each person requires space and natural resources to live.The human population is rapidly rising to levels which make it difficult to provide enough resources for humans while maintaining a healthy environment for wildlife.If each couple limited themselves to no more than 2 children，the world’s population would stabilize(稳定) and be able to support everyone without conflict or suffering.
7．Get Involved and Talk to Law Makers—Many of our laws are not helpful for preserving wildlife habitat or saving energy，and some policies actually reward large energy users.Citizens need to contact their law makers and ask for better policies.
36．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Where should we live in the future?
B．How to protect our environment?
C．Why should we save energy?

A．hope B．fear
C．hate D．fail
38．Which of the following actions will NOT destroy the homes of wildlife?
A．Building houses in the country.
B．Putting nest boxes in the backyard.
C．Releasing dirty water into a river.
D．Couples having many children.
39．What do we know about saving energy according to the passage?
A．It can help limit the population.
B．It can cause conflicts or sufferings.
C．It can protect wildlife habitat from being destroyed.
D．It can make law makers more responsible for wildlife.
40．According to the passage，people should ________.

People realize that，although animals may not have the same intelligence as human beings，they are smart enough to learn certain things.
Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people.When a dog has been properly trained，he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger.For example，seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming，even if their master ordered them to do.
Horses are also able to learn many things.Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises，traffic，and other disturbances.Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses，but they are also quite high strung(易紧张的)．Therefore，it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient and understanding.
The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too.Some animals，such as monkeys and foxes，are easy to film.All you have to do is make_a_trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground；big animals，such as lions and tigers，can be photographed as they bound happily back their families and dinner，if a movie actor is nearby，the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him.However，the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth.
41．Dogs which help blind people must learn________.
A．to obey all orders
B．to obey only safe orders
C．never to cross roads
D．to cross roads when ordered to do so
42．Race horses are hard to train because they are______.
A．faster than other horses
B．smaller than other horses
C．cleverer than other horses
D．more nervous than other horses
43．What does the underlined phrase “make a trail” mean here in the last paragraph?
A．Place something to attract the animal.
B．Give the animal a certain task.
C．Order the animal to do things.
D．Follow the animal to hunt.
44．Lions can be photographed easily when________.
A．they are following a trail of something that smells good to them
B．they are returning to their families
C．they have been trained to work with other animals
D．they do not know a movie-actor is nearby
45．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Most people say that they find advertisements useful for giving them information about the products which are available on the market.But advertisements do not only give information，they also try to influence our emotions.
The advertisers know that everyone tends to dream of having a better life.We dream of being better educated，more successful，wealthier，better looking，more adventurous，and so on.The advertisers try to make us believe that our dreams will come true if we buy their products.This is why advertisements for home cleaning products often try to convince ladies that they can become perfect wives and mothers only if they use those products.
The problem with advertisements is that they tell us that money can make our dreams come true.But this is obviously not so.We cannot buy personal good looks，intelligence，good friendships or a happy family.A lot of advertisements are，therefore，a form of lying.They can also make people feel depressed and discontented with their ordinary like.

Dear_Sir_or_Madam，
I’ve learned from a newspaper that six of eight bear species in the world are dying out.Humans are their biggest threat because some parts of bears are very expensive as medicine，and that’s one of the reasons why bears are often killed.In addition，many habitats of bears are being destroyed as a result of human activities，so bears are losing their homes.
To save bears，I think more reserves for bears should be set up so that they can live freely there and that laws should be passed to prevent people from killing bears.
Please give a hand to the endangered bears，which need help to survive.
Yours_sincerely，

According to the passage，advertisements not only give us information but also influence our emotions.Sometimes they even mislead us and make us feel unsatisfied with our normal life.
It’s true that advertisements provide us with detailed information about some certain products or services，which makes us better informed and helps us make better choices.But we have to say that there are many false advertisements or advertisements which overstate too much in our life.These advertisements mislead us into making wrong choices and sometimes do us great harm or even cost our lives.
As we live in an information age，we cannot live without advertisements.However，we cannot believe all the advertisements or all that each advertisement says.We must develop our ability of telling the true from the false and try to be a wise consumer.
