I heard a great ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) story this morning about a young girl with a very big heart.A friend was telling me a story about her customer's daughter.www.21-cn-jy.com
The daughter goes t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o an expensive private school where she has a friend，Catherine，who is on a full scholarship at this school.This friend has very limited means and her mother is an immigrant from China and her father is an alcoholic.Although the girl's mother works very hard，they can barely make ends meet.This girl is very bright and gifted at music and that's how she got the scholarship from this school.2·1·c·n·j·y
The daughter became f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )riends with this girl and would secretly talk to her at lunch.On her birthday last month，she invited her new friend to her birthday party.The girl said she couldn't come.The daughter really wanted her to come and persisted in asking her.Eventually the girl said，“I don't have any nice clothes that I could wear to your birthday party.”After a short pause，the girl remembered，“I have this top from my piano recital，”and asked，“Could I please borrow a skirt from you？”2-1-c-n-j-y
The daughter w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as happy and went home to ask her Mum whether she could lend her friend one of her skirts.To her surprise，her Mum said，“No.”The daughter was very upset by this and angrily said to her Mum，“If I could，I would give my friend all my clothes.”The Mother didn't understand why her daughter would have had such an outburst as she's normally very well behaved. 21*cnjy*com
Eventually，the daug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hter explained to her Mother about her friend's circumstances.Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said，“Yes.”She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with this girl and to feel proud of her friendship with her.

A flood occurs when ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) water overflows.This can happen in many ways.The most common is when rivers or streams overflow their banks.Excessive rain，a ruptured(破裂的)dam，rapid ice melting in the mountains can overwhelm a river and send it spreading over the near land，called a floodplain(洪泛平原)．Coastal flooding occurs when a large storm or tsunami causes the sea to move inland.
Most floods take hou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs or even days to develop，giving residents enough time to prepare or leave.Others occur quickly，with little warning.These flash floods can be extremely dangerous，instantly turning a small stream into a thundering wall of water and sweeping everything in its path.
Disaster experts class ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ify floods according to their likelihood of occurring in a given time period.A hundred year flood，for example，is an extremely large，destructive event that would theoretically be expected to happen only once every century.But this is a theoretical number.In reality，this classification means there is a one percent chance that such a flood could happen in any given year.Over recent decades，possibly due to global climate change，hundred year floods have been occurring worldwide with frightening regularity.21世纪教育网版权所有
Moving water has d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )estructive power.When a river overflows its banks or the sea drives inland，structures poorly equipped to withstand the water's strength are no match.Bridges，houses，trees，and cars can be picked up and carried off.The erosive force of moving water can drag dirt from under a building's foundation，causing it to crack and tumble.
When floodwaters re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cede(退去)，affected areas are often covered by silt and mud.The water and landscape can be polluted with hazardous materials.Residents of flooded areas can be left without power or clean，drinking water.
But flooding，particu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )larly in river floodplains，is as natural as rain and has been occurring for millions of years.
40．Para.1 mainly tells us ________.
A．what a floodplain is
B．how a flood happens
C．how often a flood happens
D．why coastal flooding occurs
41．We can conclude from the text that ________.
A．the classification of floods is the most accurate
B．the more often a flood occurs，the more dangerous it iswww-2-1-cnjy-com
C．A hundred year flood is sure to occur every hundred years
D．global climate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )change may increase the chance of a hundred year flood
42．A car's being picked up by rushing water shows that ________.
A．moving water is powerful
B．the car must be poorly equipped
C．the erosive force of water is destructive
D．the power of moving water has no match
43．What is most likely to be discussed next
A．Disastrous floods in the world.
B．The means of preventing floods.
C．The connection between rains and floods.
D．Famous floodplains like the Mississippi Valley.

About ten years ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o when I was an undergraduate in college，I was working as a practice student at my University's Museum of Natural History.One day while working at the cash register(收银机)in the gift shop，I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.
As I looked closer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at this girl，I saw that she was kind of set on her chair.I then realized she had no arms or legs，just a head，neck and main body.She was wearing a little white dress with red dots. 21cnjy.com
As the couple ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register.I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink.As I took the money from her grandparents，I looked back at the girl，who was giving me the cutest，largest smile I have ever seen.21·世纪*教育网
All of a sudd ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl，whose smile just melted me and almost instantly(即刻)gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about.She took me from a poor，unhappy college student and brought me into her world：a world of smiles，love and warmth.
That was ten years ag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o.I'm a successful business person now and whenever I get down and think about the troubles of the world，I think about that little girl and the remarkable(非凡的)lesson about life that she taught me.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

Ever wonder wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y there are so many people polluting the earth？Ever say to yourself：Hey，I wish that I could do more to help the environment？Have you ever thought about trying to help the earth but never really did it？Well，here are some pretty easy and skillful ideas for that green earth desire inside you.
●Turn off your c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )omputer.By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2 than a regular passenger would，driving to and from work in one day.
●Ride your bike or ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rpool(合用汽车)．Obviously，you are creating less CO2，which will help the ozone(臭氧)．
●Make a garden.Even ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) simply grow some plants in your kitchen，which will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.
●Buy local grocer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies.It creates less impact on the environment.Besides，you're supporting your local farmers.
●Recycle.You had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to see this coming.But you have no idea how much you are helping the environment by simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.
●Don't run the wate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r while brushing.It saves you money and helps the water resources.
●Open the curtain ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s.Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.
●Rechargeable batt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eries.You have no idea how much it takes to get rid of batteries.Do yourself a favor.Save some money and some energy.
48．The underlined w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ord“impact”in the fourth suggestion means ________.
A．disadvantage B．rubbish
C．effect D．damage
49．Which of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the following can BEST describe the function of the first paragraph
A．Lead in. B．Argument.

Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的空格内填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每空格只能填1个单词。
For thousands of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )years the two most important buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub.In fact，until a place has a church and a pub，it isn’t really considered a community worthy of a name.Traditionally，the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town，since it is where people gather to give and receive news.In fact，the word‘pub’is short for‘public house’．
That's how i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t used to be，but things are beginning to change.It is said that the credit decline is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business.People don't have lots of spare money to spend on beer.Recently，the UK government banned smoking in all pubs.and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.
This decline is h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )appening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 p．m.Previously，with 11p.m.as closing time，customers would have to drink quite quickly，meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly.The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as‘binge drinking’(狂饮)，and it causes some long term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.The UK government is changing the law to discourage binge drinking，and regularly spends money on television advertisements to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.
In order to save ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) their businesses，pubs are trying to change with the market.Now，there are a number of different types of pubs.
As you can see，Br ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )itish pubs now offer something for everyone.A lot of pubs used to be working men's clubs，meaning that women could not usually enter.Today，however，women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems.Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.
Topic The 51.________ of British Pub Culture
The important ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) 52.________ of churches and pubs in people's daily life in the UK People won't na ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me an area unless there are a church and a pub.They are the places where people gather to 53.________ news.
The 54.______ for the decrease of the pub business ◆The credit decline is said to cause many pubs to 55.________ down.◆Smoking is not 56.________ in all pubs，which may have had an effect on the business.◆The government is trying hard to 57.________ binge drinking.
58.________ to save the business ◆Pubs are making 5 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )9.________ to meet the needs of the market.◆As a woman in the UK nowadays，you can 60.________ a drink in almost all the pubs.
Conclusion Things are changing for the better probably from now on.

Spring is the perfe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ct time to get yourself green.While some may not be able to line their home with solar panels (太阳能电池板)，there are still simple ways to green up your life.
Water.Running wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ter is a valuable resource with an almost endless list of applications and uses in and around the home.Of all water consumed in the home，about 80－85%is used in the kitchen，laundry，bathroom and toilet.Try to use as much as rainwater.Collecting rainwater can help us reduce the need to use precious drinking water on our gardens and in laundries and toilets.
Light.By now ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) we all know that those spiral(螺旋的)light bulbs will save energy and even save us money，so why haven't we done it？Maybe we just don't understand the truly huge effects.Let's do the math：for every 60 watt usual light bulb in the home，there's a better 15 watt(or less！)spiral bulb.The standard two bedroom home has at least fifteen of them.Changing out all of old bulbs would save 45 watts each，or 675 watts overall.21世纪教育网版权所有
Air.It's no secret t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat our oxygen comes from plants.The more plants we have，the cleaner our air is.So，this spring，take a step toward a healthier environment and plant a tree.For those lacking the wide open spaces for tree planting，consider planting a balcony(阳台)garden or simply bringing in plants that naturally freshen the air.21教育网
Food.Growing you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r own produce is great，but most of us can't grow everything we need.For everything else，there are farmers' markets！Spring is the perfect season to visit farmers' markets！Supporting local growers is a great way to reduce carbon emissions(排放)produced by growers needing to transport their goods long distances.21cnjy.com
Money.If you're ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )still troubling to check the mailbox，consider going paperless.Many organizations now offer paperless billing and statements.They simply send them to any email address you provide.It's a more convenient way to keep track of those payables and receivables，too.Simply set up an inbox folder(发件箱文件夹)for anything needing to be paid and all of your monthly bills will be at your fingertips at any given moment.www.21-cn-jy.com
Going green ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )doesn't just help you；together，it helps everyone.So go ahead，take that first step(or second，or third)!【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

Ⅲ.阅读理解
There are over 5 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )00 known active volcanoes in the world and thousands of extinct volcanoes.Volcanoes are found on every continent except Australia.There are about 80 active volcanoes under the oceans.Volcanoes are both terrifying and fascinating.In order to understand why volcanic eruptions happen.it is necessary to know some things about how the Earth is made.
The part of the Ea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rth we live on is an 18 mile thick layer of solid rock called the crust.Beneath the crust，in a layer called the mantle(地幔)，it is hot enough to melt some of the rock，creating magma(岩浆)．21·世纪*教育网
When the magm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a finds cracks in the Earth's crust，it rises up.Gas bubbles(气泡)inside the magma grow bigger and try to escape as the molten rock gets closer to the Earth's surface.When the gas bubbles can't be held back any longer，the volcano erupts.Imagine shaking a soda bottle until the gas inside blows the cap off，and you can understand something of how a volcano erupts.If the magma is runny，and the gas can escape easily，the eruption is gentle.But if the magma is thick，the gas has to build up more pressure to escape.Then the eruption is explosive.
When a volcano erupts， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the molten rock that flows from it is called lava.The lava may run for some distance，or it may pile up near the volcano，making the mountain larger.
During an explosive ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) eruption，pieces of rock are thrown from the volcano.Scientists call these pyroclasts(火山碎屑)．The smallest pyroclasts are called ash.Ash is often thrown into the atmosphere by the force of the eruption.Larger rocks，about walnut(胡桃)size，are called lapilli，Italian for“little stones”．The largest pyroclasts are called blocks if they are solid，or bombs if they are molten. 21*cnjy*com
Volcanoes have been a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) major force in the formation of our planet for thousands and thousands of years.Today geologists continually observe active volcanoes for signs of eruption.Using modern instruments，they are usually able to issue a warning before the volcano erupts.21教育名师原创作品
1．The author explains how the volcano erupts by ________.21*cnjy*com
A．making a comparison B．telling a story
C．using figures D．asking questions
2．The underlined word“it”in Paragraph 3 refers to the “________”．
A．crack B．crust
C．mantle D．magma
3．Whether the eruption is explosive depends on ________.
A．the temperature of the crust
B．whether the magma is thick
C．whether the magma is near the mantle
D．the number of gas bubbles inside the magma
4．We learn from Paragraph 5 that ________.
A．ash is smaller than pyroclasts
B．bombs are about walnut size
C．blocks are larger than lapilli
D．lapilli exist in the atmosphere
5．The passage is most probably taken from ________.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A．National Geographic
B．Entertainment Weekly
C．Health
D．TV Guide
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(每空格只能填1个单词)
Scientists find that h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ard working people live longer and healthier than average people.
Why is work good fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r health It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Studies show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, they feel happy when they are busy. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. Through work, people come into contact with each other. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects people spiritually and makes them liable to disease. Besides, work gives one a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve, we can learn that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.21cnjy.com

Planetary changes w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hich will have an influence on many are drawing near because of the poor ecological(生态的)state of the planet.Actually change has already begun through climate changes，but most humans haven't noticed this yet.Climate change has begun to influence the world already and will begin to worsen within the next few years.Around 2011 most people will begin to see that the results of climate change will be far more serious than now understood.
As the planet is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) under big geological(地质的)stresses，which are continuously increasing，it will in the future no longer be able to support its population.Scarcity(缺乏)of resources，over farming，lack of clean air，not enough clean drinking water and drought are some of the issues that will all play a much greater role in the near future.21世纪教育网版权所有
Humans have cause ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d large ecological devastation(破坏)．The lifestyles of many people are improving at a fast speed；however，this will finally result in a lack of some precious resources.When this scarcity begins to happen，people will no longer be able to have sustainable(可支撑的)lifestyles.21cnjy.com
It's important to u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nderstand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life.Each person's decision can finally affect the future.These decisions，all combined，can have a very good effect on what the future will be like for humans.So the future depends on the choices we make at the present moment.
While more and mor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e people are becoming aware(意识到的)of climate change and other environmental problems related to global warming，not all are fully understanding how far reaching its effects will be.Unfortunately，most of the humans are aware that the planet isn't functioning well，but they don’t understand that this is creating a major problem for the future survival of humans.
So，every person ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) should make the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future.

B
I am a profess ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
If you are feeling an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Most people cannot te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can't control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.21*cnjy*com
Simply try to accept ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can't control any of these things. Accept that you can't control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
It can often ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous－then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.
6．Who wrote this passage
A．A reporter B．A sportsman
C．A patient D．A professor
7．The writer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because________.
A．most are not very important
B．they are not the real causes of the problem
C．they cannot be controlled by people
D．it's better to deal with one cause at a time
8. If swimming makes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you nervous, what should you do according to the writer
A．Go swimming often to get used to it.
B．Avoid going to the swimming pool.
C．Find a swimming teacher.
D．Imagine watching others swim.
9．What is TRUE about nervousness according to the passage
A．It usually has only one cause.
B．It is usually caused by people.
C．People can easily manage it.
D．Most people suffer from it.
10. What is the main purpose of this passage
