Half of the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orld’s population is affected by Asian monsoons(季风)，but monsoons are difficult to predict.American researchers have put together a 700 year record of the rainy seasons，which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.
Every year，moist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) (潮湿的)air masses，known as monsoon，produce large amounts of rainfall in India，East Asia，Northern Australia and East Africa.All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.21·cn·jy·com
According to Edward ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Cook，a weather expert at Columbia University in New York，the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict.In addition，climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use.Therefore，he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia，looking for trees old enough to provide long term records.They measured the rings，or circles，inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.21·世纪*教育网
Rainfall has a dire ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees.The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas.It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries，beginning in the 1300s. 21*cnjy*com
Professor Cook ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) says the tree ring records show periods of wet and dry weather.“If the monsoon basically fails or is a very weak one，the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring.But if the monsoon is very strong，the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year.So，the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability.” With all this information，researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.21教育名师原创作品
“There has been ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts.And on the other hand，if the monsoon is particularly heavy，it can cause extensive flooding，” said Eugene Wahl，a scientist with America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.“So，to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been，dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail，I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”
1．What’s the passage mainly about
A．The effects of Asian monsoons.
B．The necessity of weather forecast.
C．The achievements of Edward Cook.
D．A breakthrough in monsoon prediction.
2．It is difficult for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) experts to predict Asian monsoons because________.

D．there is heavy rainfall in Asia
3．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Long and detai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )led climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.
B．The Monsoon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.
C．The trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.21教育网
D．The rainfall m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ight be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon affected areas.
4．What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl
A．It is a great achievement in climate science.
B．It should include information about human life in the past.21cnjy.com

Kids will often ign ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore your requests for them to shut off the TV，start their chores(杂事)，or do their homework as a way to avoid following your directions.Before you know it，you’ve started to sound like a broken record as you repeatedly ask them to do their assignments，clean their rooms，or take out the trash(垃圾)．Rather than saying “Do your chores now”，you’ll be more effective if you set a target time for when the chores have to be completed.So instead of arguing about starting chores，just say，“If chores aren’t done by 4 pm，here are the consequences.”Then it’s up to your child to complete the chores.Put the ball back in their court.Don’t argue or
fight with them，jus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t say，“That’s the way it’s going to be.” It shouldn’t be punitive(惩罚性的) as much as it should be persuasive.“If your chores aren’t done by 4 pm，then no video game time until chores are done.And if finishing those chores runs into homework time，that’s going to be your loss.”On the other hand，when dealing with homework，keep it very simple.Have a time when homework starts，and at that time，all electronics go off and do not go back on until you see that their homework is done.If your kids say they have no homework，then they should use that time to study or read.Either way，there should be a time set aside when the electronics are off.21*cnjy*com
When a kid wear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s his iPod or headphones when you’re trying to talk to him，make no bones about it；he is not ignoring you but disrespecting you.At that point，everything else should stop until he takes the earplugs out of his ears.Don’t try to communicate with him when he’s wearing headphones—even if he tells you he can hear you.Wearing them while you’re talking to him is a sign of disrespect.Parents should be very tough about this kind of thing.Remember，mutual respect becomes more important as children mature.
6．According to the passage，it seldom happens that ________.
A．kids turn a deaf ear to their parents’ requests
B．parents’ directions sound like a broken record
C．children are ready to follow their parents’ directionswww-2-1-cnjy-com
D．parents are unaware of what they are repeating to their kids2-1-c-n-j-y
7．Parents will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be able to deal with their children more effectively if they ________.
A．avoid direct ways of punishment
B．make them do things at their request
C．argue and fight with their children
D．allow their children to behave in his own way
8．When a kid is doing his homework，parents ________.www.21-cn-jy.com
A．should provide him with a good learning environment【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
B．can do whatever he like
C．can stay aside watching TV
D．must switch off the power
9．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．parents should take ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )off his headphones when trying to have a talk with their child
B．it will make no dif ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ference that a kid is wearing his earplugs while talking to his parents
C．parents sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ouldn’t give in to their kid when he shows no sign of respect
D．kids’ purposely ta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lking to their parents with iPod gives them a sense of power and control
10．The main idea of the passage is ________.
A．that respecting each other is more important than anything else2·1·c·n·j·y
B．how kids behave to ignore and disrespect their parents【出处：21教育名师】
C．that children should make choices and decisions on their own21世纪教育网版权所有

Ⅰ.阅读理解
When times get to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ugh，we all look for ways to cut back.When we’re hungry，we eat at home instead of going out.We take buses instead of taxis.And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months long.With college expenses at all time high，high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
One cost cutting ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four.Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient.But there’s a question：Would the quality of undergraduate (本科生) education suffer？Few US universities have formally approved a “three year degree” model.【出处：21教育名师】
I doubt that mainstrea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m North American colleges will carry out a three year curriculum any time soon.For one thing，most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits (学分)．In addition，at famous universities，the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits.Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.
In my opinion ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，a quality four year education is always superior to a quality three year education.A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major.It is not a good idea to water down education，any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine.If we want to help students find their way through university，we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation.We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible.We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生) in meaningful part time jobs that relate to their university studies，such as the five year co op program at Northeastern University.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
1．Which of the following can be the best title
A．It’s Time to Shorten the Learning Process
B．Best Learning Takes Place Over Time
C．University Education Should Be Watered down
D．College Education Calls for Reform
2．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．most Ameri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )can universities are against the “three year degree” model
B．many famous US un ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iversities are considering adopting the “three year degree” model
C．professors are willing to accept the “three year degree” model21cnjy.com
D．the “three year d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )egree” model can make college learning more efficient
3．In most US universities，________.
A．college students are offered the co op program
B．electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required credits【版权所有：21教育】
C．all students ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e required to finish four year education before graduation

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The advantages ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists.It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited.To feed a large population，inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively.Thus，each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population.Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports，roads and railways，which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.
One of the d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ifficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control programme lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials.In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food，space and natural resources，it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birth rate，whatever the consequences may be.In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex.A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods.When the pressure of population on housing declines，prices also decline and the building industry is weakened.Faced with considerations such as these，the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population，rather than one which is stable or in decline.
26．A small population may mean ________.
A．higher productivity，but a lower average income
B．lower productivity，but a higher average income
C．lower productivity and a lower average income
D．higher productivity and a higher average income
27．According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the passage，a large population will provide a chance for developing ________.
A．agriculture B．transport system
C．industry D．national economy
28．In a developed coun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )try，people will perhaps go out of work if the birth rate ________.
A．goes up B．goes down
C．remains stable D．is out of control
29．According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the passage，a slowly rising birth rate perhaps is good for ________.
A．a developing nation
B．a developed nation
C．every nation with a big population
D．every nation with a small population
30．It is no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because ________.
A．there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world
B．underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development
C．different governments have different views of the question21cnjy.com
D．even developed countries may have complex problems

Jack was so ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cited about getting a new backpack because his old one had a broken zipper(拉链) and a hole in the bottom.
Jack’s elder broth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er took him to buy a new backpack.There were so many cool ones.How would he decide？He saw blue ones—his favorite color.He saw ones with his favorite action hero on the front.And then Jack saw a backpack with a black square design.When he opened it，he saw it had a hidden，secret small bag.He liked it，which made it different from the others.
“This is the one，”he said，and carried it to the checkout counter.
That evening，Jack c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arefully filled his new backpack with his school things.He put his special pen in the secret small bag.The next day in English class，Mr.Mack said，“Let’s write an essay about earthquakes！”Jack looked for his pen in his backpack，but he couldn’t find it！He rummaged in his desk and his pockets，but there was no pen.
Jack asked if anyone ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) had seen his pen，but no one had.Mr.Mack lent him a pencil，but Jack was feeling anxious because he lost his pen.When he got home，Jack told his brother he couldn’t find his favorite pen.His brother said，“You must have put it in that secret small bag.”
Jack laughed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and said，“That small bag was so secret that I forgot all about it.”
31．Which backpack did Jack buy
A．A blue one.
B．One with a black square design.
C．One with an action hero.
D．A small one.
32．Jack decided to buy that backpack because________.

Growing Good Corn
There was a Nebraska ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) farmer who grew award winning corn.Each year he entered the district’s farming competition where his corn always came out on top and won the blue ribbon.
One year a newsp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.To his great surprise，the reporter discovered that each year the farmer shared his corn seed with his neighbors.21·cn·jy·com
“Why do you s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hare your best seed with your neighbors when they are competing against you？” the reporter asked.The farmer’s reply made everything clear.21·世纪*教育网
“Why sir，” said t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he farmer，“didn’t you know？The wind will blow corn pollen(花粉) from field to field.If my neighbors grow poor corn，it will affect the quality of my corn.If I am to grow good corn，I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”
His corn canno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t improve unless his neighbors’ corn also improves.And so it is in life.If we cooperate and help each other out，life can get better for everyone，and the benefits can be shared by all.But if we think only of ourselves，our selfishness will not only hurt others but it may come back to hurt us.

Possible version 1：
In the passage th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e writer uses the story of the award winning farmer who shares his best corn seed with his neighbours to teach us that we all can benefit when we co operate and share with each other.www.21-cn-jy.com
It’s a really instruct ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ive story，which inspires me to think more.In our daily life，we face all kinds of difficulties.Everyone needs help and only those who are ready to help can get help from others.
Take global ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and regional cooperation for example.As we know，countries are increasingly interdependent.When they work together to solve their problems the world becomes more stable.Trade and the economy improves and living standards for all increase.But if countries act selfishly，it will create distrust，poor economic and trade relations and may even lead to unrest and war，which hurts the people of all nations.If all the countries can cooperate with each other，draw on each other’s strengths and work together，the world will advance greatly and all the nations will share benefits and profit from balanced development.

It’s a really inst ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ructive story，which inspires me to think more.In our daily life，we face all kinds of difficulties.Everyone needs help and only those who are ready to help can get help from others.
Take for example ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the recent tragedy in Japan.The earthquake and tsunami have caused great damage to the country.The most serious is the damage to the nuclear power station that has caused radiation to leak into the atmosphere.If other countries act selfishly and don’t help the Japanese，not only will the local people suffer，but the problems of radiation may spread to affect the rest of us.But if we all co operate and help each other，then the problem can hopefully be solved，which will be of benefit not only to the Japanese people，but to the rest of the world as well.

In the early ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) morning on February 28，a sandstorm with strong winds caused a train to derail in China’s far west.The accident killed four people and injured about 30.
The 11 car tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ain had just left a station in Turpan in Xinjiang when it was hit.
“A strong sandst ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orm broke the window soon after the train left Turpan.Then it blew some of the cars off the rail，”a passenger said.2·1·c·n·j·y
The train had bee ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n running between the capital city of Urumqi and Aksu，in the west.
Sandstorms happen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a lot in that area.They are fed by the deserts of Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia.Powerful winds blow the sands toward Beijing and the eastern cities each spring.
A sandstorm is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )common natural disaster.It usually happens in deserts.Strong winds blow a huge amount of sand into the air.Sandstorms_are_so_strong_that_they_can_blow_you_1_to_1.5_

Xinjiang is one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the areas where sandstorms happen most often，which results from a dry climate，vast desert and a strong wind.It is in northwestern China.Xinjiang has mountains on four sides.The Tianshan Mountains，which are in the middle，divide the land into two large basins(盆地)．Both basins have deserts in their centers.They are the source of sandstorms.The passes and valleys(山谷) between the mountains are the places where strong winds are likely to form.

A
Do you have b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )right ideas？Ideas or inventions that change society or，at least，make life easier for somebody？Perhaps we all do sometimes，but we don’t often make the idea a reality.Recently，in Britain，there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow.The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas.There were two groups in the contest：Group One was for schoolchildren under 16；Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16，and there were eleven prize winners altogether.21教育名师原创作品
Neil Hunt，one of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he prize winners，was called “Sunshine Superman”．It’s important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately.We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is.Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight.Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into the way of using solar power.21*cnjy*com
You can do so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )much with animated cartoon.Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs.He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them.This isn’t a new idea.But it is new to use these pictures on road signs.“We found that people were more likely to see moving signs，” said Simon.So now，you can really see rocks falling，trains moving，horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff.Quite a warning!
The ideas in the comp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )etition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions.Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power！”【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
1．The writer s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eems to be encouraging the British industry to ________.
A．help schoolchildren in their studies
B．take better care of schoolchildren
C．stop asking schoolchildren for suggestions
D．pay more attention to schoolchildren’s inventive power
2．Neil Hunt’s d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esign would finally lead to the improvement of the way of ________.
A．recording direct sunshine
B．knowing how strong sunlight is
C．using the energy of the sun
D．recording the hours of sunshine
3．The organizers o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the competition hoped the schoolchildren would ________.
A．become good designers for future Britain
B．win as many prizes as they could
C．design something useful for the next day
D．invent something for immediate use
4．What’s the use of Simon West’s animated road signs 21教育网
A．To add to the beauty of a city.
B．To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead.2·1·c·n·j·y
C．To help make a car trip more exciting.
D．To warn people to be careful while working.
5．The writer holds that people seldom ________.
A．make their life easier
B．turn their bright ideas into reality
C．have bright ideas
D．think of inventing something
B
As prices and bui ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lding costs keep rising，the “do it yourself” (DIY) trend in the U．S.continues to grow.www-2-1-cnjy-com
“We needed furniture ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )for our living room，” says John Ross，“and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it.So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.”John got married six months ago，and like many young people these days，they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.The Rosses took a 2 week course for $280 at a night school.Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )three boys and his wife died.He has a full time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory.Last month，he received a car repair bill for $420.“I was deeply upset about it.Now I’ve finished a car repair course，I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t unusual people.Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money，so they can fight the high cost of living.If you want to become a “do it yourselfer”，you can go to DIY classes.And for those who don’t have time to take a course，there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
6．We can learn from the text that many newly married people ________.
A．find it hard to pay for what they need
B．have to learn to make their own furniture
C．take DIY courses run by the government
D．seldom go to a department store to buy things
7．John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to ________.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
A．run a DIY shop
B．make or repair things
C．save time and money
D．improve the quality of life
8．When the write ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r says that Jim has a full time job at home，he means Jim ________.
A．makes shoes in his home
B．does extra work at night
C．does his own car and home repairs
D．keeps house and looks after his children
9．Jim Hatfield decided to become a “do it yourselfer” when ________.
A．his car repair costs too much
B．the car repair class was not helpful
C．he could not possibly do two jobs
D．he had to raise the children all by himself
10．What would be the best title of the text
A．The joy of DIY
B．You can do it too
C．Welcome to our DIY course

If you sleep on you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r stomach，you are a rather secretive person.You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset.You’re very stubborn，but you aren’t very ambitious.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.This means that you enjoy having a good time.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
If you sleep cur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )led up(卷曲)，you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive.You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people.You prefer to be on your own.You’re easily hurt.【出处：21教育名师】
If you sleep on y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our side，you have usually got a well balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You’re usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel anxious，but you don’t often get depressed.You always say what you think even if it annoys people.【版权所有：21教育】

Copernicus was born i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Torun，Poland，on February 19,1473.Little is known about his early life except that his father died when he was 10.An uncle adopted him，his two sisters，and his brother.The uncle saw to it that the two boys received a good education.Copernicus went to the University of Cracow.There he studied such subjects as Latin，mathematics，and astronomy.It was probably at that time that he changed his Polish name，Niklas Koppernigk，to the Latin form of Nicolaus Copernicus.In 1496 Copernicus went to Italy，where he spent the next 10 years studying at various universities.
In Copernicus’ t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ime people still believed that all things—the sun，the stars，and the planets—moved around the earth.It was an old belief that few men had ever questioned.Aristotle had based his theory of astronomy on this belief.Because the Church had long been the center of learning，the theory was also linked to religious beliefs.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
In 1506 Copernic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )us returned to his homeland.A few years later he began to work for the Church.All those years Copernicus carried on his work in astronomy.He had just the most basic equipment and，like other scientists of his day，made observations with only his eyes.Still，using mathematics and logic(逻辑)，Copernicus worked out a different theory，which held that the planets went around the sun.
Copernicus did no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t announce his ideas.He did not want to make trouble.But he could not hide the scientific truth.So he talked about his theory with his friends，who strongly advised him to have his work published.His great book，On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies，appeared at the very end of his life.Copernicus saw the first copy on the day he died，May 24,1543.
1．Which of the following is TRUE about Copernicus 21cnjy.com
A．He had two brothers and a sister.
B．He used to be called Niklas Koppernigk.

D．the theories developed by scientists of old times
3．Copernicus developed his theory ________.
A．using various telescopes
B．based on Aristotle’s beliefs
C．through observations and reasoning(推理)
D．under the encouragement of his friends
4．The writer of the passage tells us that ________. 21*cnjy*com
A．Copernicus did not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tell about his discovery until the day of his death
B．for many yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs Copernicus dared to do nothing openly against the Church
C．pushed by his frie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nds Copernicus decided to write a book in May 1543
D．shortly before he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )got back to Poland Copernicus started to work for the Church
