一、阅读单选
Some people think riding bicycles isn’t popular. They aren’t interested in it. So fewer and fewer people ride bicycles in the city. Nowadays some office workers usually go to work by car. Most students take the bus or the subway to go to school.
But I don’t think so. I think riding bicycles is good for my health. It has many benefits (益处). Firstly, when I am riding a bicycle, my whole body is exercising all the time. It is a good way to keep fit. Usually most office workers are busy with their things and most students are busy with their lessons, so they have no time to do sports. So riding bicycles is a good way to keep healthy for them.
Secondly, riding bicycles does good to our environment (环境). As we know, driving cars can pollute (污染) air. It makes the temperature high day by day. If we go to work by bike, the air will become cleaner than before. We can also save money at the same time. Why not enjoy doing it

Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当答案)
Nicolas Anelka arrived in Shanghai last month to begin playing for Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League (中超联赛). Anelka is French and played for France’s national team as well as for Chelsea (切尔西队) in England. He is the biggest and the latest of a growing number of foreign stars that have come to play professional sports in China.
At the beginning of this season, the Chinese Basketball Association had several NBA players in the league including Wilson Chandler and Kenyon Martin. These players came to China because of the NBA lockout (停摆，停赛) last September. They wanted to play basketball and they were able to get the same salary here as they would have in the NBA．However, most of them left China when the NBA season started again. The CSL and the CBA are happy to welcome these players and to pay them big salaries because both sports leagues have had trouble keeping their fan base. The CSL has lost many fans because of past match fixing scandals (打假球丑闻) and the CBA has suffered by comparison with the NBA — it’s just not as exciting.
China’s professional sports teams have a long way to go if they are going to match the quality of play seen in other countries. Bringing in top foreign athletes (运动员) is a way for Chinese athletes to learn and to improve. And it’s hoped that the big names will fill the seats in China’s stadiums and arenas (赛场).
More foreign athletes, such as Anelka, are also discovering that China is a great place to spend part of their careers. The money is good, but they also like the country and its culture. Anelka, for one, says he is “delighted (高兴的)” to be here. I think Shanghai is delighted to have him.
11．Nicolas Anelka has played for ________.
A．Shanghai Shenhua and Chelsea
B．Chelsea and France’s national team
C．Shanghai Shenhua and France’s national team
D．France’s national team, Chelsea and Shanghai Shenhua
12．Wilson and Kenyon Martin came to China ________.
A．when the NBA season started again B．last month
C．at the beginning of this season D．last September
13．The possible reason why NBA players left China is that ________.
A．the CBA is not very happy to welcome the players
B．the CBA refuses to pay the players the same salary as they’ve expected
C．the CBA isn’t as exciting as the NBA
D．the players have lost their interest in playing basketball
14．The underlined part can be replaced (替代) by ________.
A．foreign stars B．great people
C．those who are rich enough D．famous foreign athletes
15．Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage
A．China’s professional sports teams should try hard to make improvements.
B．Nicolas Anelka is the biggest and the last foreign star who has come to China to play professional sports.
C．Nicolas Anelka is delighted to spend the rest of his career in Shanghai.
D．Past match fixing scandals have made the CBA lose many fans.

12．细节理解题。根据“At the beginning of this season, the Chinese Basketball Association had several NBA players in the league including Wilson Chandler and Kenyon Martin.”可知，Wilson和Kenyon是在这个赛季初来到中国的。故选C。
13．推理判断题。根据“and the CBA has suffered by comparison with the NBA — it’s just not as exciting.”可知，与NBA相比，CBA显得不那么令人兴奋，因此NBA球员会离开。故选C。
14．词句猜测题。根据“Bringing in top foreign athletes (运动员) is a way for Chinese athletes to learn and to improve.”可知，the big names指代的是上句提到的外国顶尖运动员，上句中的“athletes”也是提示词。故选D。
15．推理判断题。根据“China’s professional sports teams have a long way to go if they are going to match the quality of play seen in other countries.”可知，中国的职业运动队要想达到其他国家的比赛质量，还有很长的路要走。因此可推断中国的职业运动队应该努力改进。故选A。
16．标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了中国职业运动队相较于其他国家来说，相对落后。为改变这一现状，他们积极引进国外顶尖球员。因此C项“中国吸引更多的外国运动员。”符合主题。故选C。
Story 1
In America in 1940, the twin boys went to live with two different families almost as soon as they were born.

More than 60 years after scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA, 20 students at US Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy gained insight（了解）into some of the molecular（分子的）mysteries that make them who they are.
Last fall, while studying life sciences, the girls sent samples（样本）of their DNA off to Living DNA, a DNA testing company. The test results became known last week and they left a big impression on the students, who were able to make real-world connections to topics they have been studying all semester long, including genotypes（基因型）.
“Students were able to maturely（成熟地）look at their results and apply what they learned in science. It’s about bringing learning to life,” said Laura Pena, the STEM program teacher.
For most of the girls, the DNA test was their ancestry（血统）. Sitting with her mom, Amariah Caudle, 15, looked with her mouth wide open at the charts showing her results. She was surprised that her European ancestry was only 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high.
“I didn’t think a trace（痕迹）would show up in her,” she said. “After many generations, this is still showing up in our bloodline（血统）. I was shocked by the science of it all.”
DNA has a power to engage people, said Diahan Southard, Living DNA community manager. Southard believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young enough to absorb lessons and change their values.
Elianed Guzman, 14, said she knew little about her family except that they were from Mexico. She described in her native Spanish how surprised she was to learn that she shared genetic DNA with people in China, Japan and Korea.
As the girls sat in small groups to examine their results, with reactions ranging from confusion to surprise, they began to understand what it all means.
“Now I know I have family from everywhere,” said Amariah.
35．Scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA possibly________.
A．in the 1910s B．in the 1930s C．in the 1950s D．in the 1990s
36．How did the students feel when they found out the DNA test results
A．Anxious. B．Doubtful. C．Impressed. D．Calm.
37．Why was Amariah Caudle’s mother surprised
A．People had the opportunity to test their DNA． B．The European trace showed up in Amariah’s DNA．
C．Amariah possibly had European ancestry. D．Amariah shared genetic DNA with people from Asia.
38．What does Southard think of the program
A．It helps students understand their DNAs. B．It has a great power to bring people together.
C．It will change their students’ DNAs. D．It should be introduced to more people around the country.
39．What did the students learn from the program
A．People need to accept who they are. B．We should learn more about family history.
C．People’s personalities can be explained by their bloodlines. D．People from all over the world are connected with each other.
40．The best title for the passage is ________.
A．Our amazing past B．Our amazing present C．Our amazing future D．Our past, present and future
【答案】35．C 36．C 37．B 38．A 39．D 40．A
【导语】本文讲述了美国科雷塔·斯科特·金青年女子领导力学院的20名学生从她们的DNA检测中了解到自己的血统从而认识到世界人民是相互联系的。
35．推理判断题。根据“More than 60 years after scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA, 20 students at US Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy gained insight（了解）into some of the molecular（分子的）mysteries that make them who they are.”可知，在科学家对DNA结构做出重大发现60多年后，美国科雷塔·斯科特·金青年女子领导力学院的20名学生了解一些分子的奥秘。以现在的时间往前推60年，则科学家对DNA的结构有了重大发现的时间可能是在20世纪50年代左右。故选C。
36．细节理解题。根据“The test results became known last week and they left a big impression on the students, who were able to make real-world connections to topics they have been studying all semester long, including genotypes（基因型）.”可知，测试结果于上周公布，给学生们留下了深刻的印象，他们能够将自己整个学期所学的主题（包括基因型）与现实世界联系起来。故选C。
37．细节理解题。根据“She was surprised that her European ancestry was only 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high.”可知，她很惊讶自己的欧洲血统只有13%。她的母亲珍妮尔·考德尔惊讶地发现它竟然这么高。再根据“‘I didn’t think a trace（痕迹）would show up in her,’ she said.”可知，她的母亲以为欧洲血统在她女儿身上并没有显露出来，而检测结果却有。故选B。
38．细节理解题。根据“Southard believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young enough to absorb lessons and change their values.”可知，索萨德认为，这个项目让学生在一个重要的时刻了解DNA，这时他们还足够年轻，可以吸取教训，改变自己的价值观。故选A。
39．推理判断题。根据“Now I know I have family from everywhere”可知，学生们通过基因检测了解到了世界各地的人民在血缘上都相互联系着。故选D。
40．最佳标题题。根据“For most of the girls, the DNA test was their ancestry（血统）.”可知，学生们参与的DNA检测是关于她们的血统的，且从其检测结果让学生们了解自己的血统来源，从而让她们意识到世界是相互联系的。因此选项A“我们惊人的过去”作为标题最为合适。故选A。

When the guide led the other children out of the caves, he counted them. He discovered that there were four children missing. He had to go back into the caves to try to find the missing children.
The children who were lost moved deeper and deeper into the caves. The deeper they went, the more lost they became. They were frightened. They started shouting for help, but the guide didn’t hear them. How dangerous they were!
Soon they came to an underground river. They guessed that the river must flow out of the caves. The water was very cold and deep, but the children kept on swimming. For a long time, they swam in darkness. Then they saw light ahead of them. The river was flowing out of the caves into the bigger river and the children were able to leave the caves. They climbed out of the river and reached the riverbank. They saw the bus with the other children in the distance.

On March 22nd, World Water Day is a day to celebrate water and make a difference for people who do not have the water they need.
The truth about the world
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink That’s around 1 in 10 people in the world.
But what does this mean
If we drink dirty water, we can catch diseases from the bacteria (细菌) and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from dirty water. That’s around 1,400 children every day! In Ghana, 85% of all disease are from dirty water, and in Nicaragua, 75% of the people don’t have clean drinking water. Also, in some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water, they can’t go to school so they don’t learn how to read and write and don’t get an education.
Water for everyone
In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water. People organize events to raise money.
For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10 km, others climb mountains or even jump from an aeroplane and skydive to the ground. At one school, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6 km with 6 litres of water, so they can see how it feels to walk along distance carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money to do these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
47．The passage is mainly about _________.
A．water festival B．World Earth Day

“Me too,” said Henry. “You wait—it’ll be a bit hotter by the end of the month.”
“Yes. Hotter—and more expensive. Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th, won’t they, Henry ”
Henry looked hard at me for half a minute. There was a little smile in his two blue eyes. I gave his bill back to him.
“If it isn’t too much trouble, Henry,” I said. “Please add it up again. You can forget the date.”
I paid him 26.50 and he was happy to get it.

【导语】本文主要讲述的是亨利这位木匠想方设法把日期加进去问人家多要钱的事，但结果作者给的不多不少。
89．推理判断题。根据“When I was looking at the bill, Henry said, ‘It’s a fine day, isn’t it Quite sunny.’”以及后文可知，当作者看帐单时，亨利谈论天气是为了转移作者的注意力，让作者不要看账单看得那么仔细，故选D。
90．推理判断题。结合账单，作者是认为亨利把日期（June 10）的“10”也加到账单里了，6月10日距离月底还有20天，那么如果在月底就会多收20美元，所以是因为亨利几乎肯定会把日期加到餐桌的费用里。故选A。
91．推理判断题。阅读账单后，由亨利和作者的对话可知，亨利把结账那天10号当10美元一起算计在内；作者又说“Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th, won’t they, Henry”即到30号，应该又多出20美元，36.50+20=56.50。故选B。
92．细节理解题。根据“I paid him 26.50 and he was happy to get it.”可知当作者给他钱时，亨利很高兴，因为他得到了他应该得到的报酬。故选C。
93．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知亨利把结账那天10号当10美元一起算计在内，所以亨利试图为他的工作赚更多的钱。故选D。

In the universe, as we all know, there is the sun, the moon, the earth and a good many stars. Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes around the sun, and the moon goes around the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night.
Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are farther, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.
The sun is big enough to give out very strong light. The moon can’t give out any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are farther away from the earth. There are many other planets in the universe. But of all the planets, only on the earth are there living things and people can only live on the earth, too. But at 9:00 a.m., October 15th, 2003, the Chinese pilot Yang Liwei was sent up in to space. He stayed there for 21 hours. It was the first time for Chinese to get into space.

Some people think riding bicycles isn’t popular. They aren’t interested in it. So fewer and fewer people ride bicycles in the city. Nowadays some office workers usually go to work by car. Most students take the bus or the subway to go to school.

Nicolas Anelka arrived in Shanghai last month to begin playing for Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League (中超联赛). Anelka is French and played for France’s national team as well as for Chelsea (切尔西队) in England. He is the biggest and the latest of a growing number of foreign stars that have come to play professional sports in China.
At the beginning of this season, the Chinese Basketball Association had several NBA players in the league including Wilson Chandler and Kenyon Martin. These players came to China because of the NBA lockout (停摆，停赛) last September. They wanted to play basketball and they were able to get the same salary here as they would have in the NBA．However, most of them left China when the NBA season started again. The CSL and the CBA are happy to welcome these players and to pay them big salaries because both sports leagues have had trouble keeping their fan base. The CSL has lost many fans because of past match fixing scandals (打假球丑闻) and the CBA has suffered by comparison with the NBA — it’s just not as exciting.
China’s professional sports teams have a long way to go if they are going to match the quality of play seen in other countries. Bringing in top foreign athletes (运动员) is a way for Chinese athletes to learn and to improve. And it’s hoped that the big names will fill the seats in China’s stadiums and arenas (赛场).
More foreign athletes, such as Anelka, are also discovering that China is a great place to spend part of their careers. The money is good, but they also like the country and its culture. Anelka, for one, says he is “delighted (高兴的)” to be here. I think Shanghai is delighted to have him.
11．Nicolas Anelka has played for ________.
A．Shanghai Shenhua and Chelsea
B．Chelsea and France’s national team
C．Shanghai Shenhua and France’s national team
D．France’s national team, Chelsea and Shanghai Shenhua
12．Wilson and Kenyon Martin came to China ________.
A．when the NBA season started again B．last month
C．at the beginning of this season D．last September
13．The possible reason why NBA players left China is that ________.
A．the CBA is not very happy to welcome the players
B．the CBA refuses to pay the players the same salary as they’ve expected
C．the CBA isn’t as exciting as the NBA
D．the players have lost their interest in playing basketball
14．The underlined part can be replaced (替代) by ________.
A．foreign stars B．great people
C．those who are rich enough D．famous foreign athletes

In America in 1940, the twin boys went to live with two different families almost as soon as they were born.

Later on, they discovered that they had both married women called Linda, and that they both had one son whose first and middle names were James and Alan. Besides, both brothers had called their dogs by the same name—Toy. As if that wasn’t enough, they also found out that they both took their family holiday at the same place every year.

More than 60 years after scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA, 20 students at US Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy gained insight（了解）into some of the molecular（分子的）mysteries that make them who they are.
Last fall, while studying life sciences, the girls sent samples（样本）of their DNA off to Living DNA, a DNA testing company. The test results became known last week and they left a big impression on the students, who were able to make real-world connections to topics they have been studying all semester long, including genotypes（基因型）.
“Students were able to maturely（成熟地）look at their results and apply what they learned in science. It’s about bringing learning to life,” said Laura Pena, the STEM program teacher.
For most of the girls, the DNA test was their ancestry（血统）. Sitting with her mom, Amariah Caudle, 15, looked with her mouth wide open at the charts showing her results. She was surprised that her European ancestry was only 13 percent. Her mother, Janell Caudle, was surprised it was that high.
“I didn’t think a trace（痕迹）would show up in her,” she said. “After many generations, this is still showing up in our bloodline（血统）. I was shocked by the science of it all.”
DNA has a power to engage people, said Diahan Southard, Living DNA community manager. Southard believes the program gives students an understanding of DNA at an important moment, when they are still young enough to absorb lessons and change their values.
Elianed Guzman, 14, said she knew little about her family except that they were from Mexico. She described in her native Spanish how surprised she was to learn that she shared genetic DNA with people in China, Japan and Korea.
As the girls sat in small groups to examine their results, with reactions ranging from confusion to surprise, they began to understand what it all means.
“Now I know I have family from everywhere,” said Amariah.
35．Scientists made big discoveries about the structure of DNA possibly________.
A．in the 1910s B．in the 1930s C．in the 1950s D．in the 1990s
36．How did the students feel when they found out the DNA test results
A．Anxious. B．Doubtful. C．Impressed. D．Calm.
37．Why was Amariah Caudle’s mother surprised
A．People had the opportunity to test their DNA． B．The European trace showed up in Amariah’s DNA．
C．Amariah possibly had European ancestry. D．Amariah shared genetic DNA with people from Asia.
38．What does Southard think of the program
A．It helps students understand their DNAs. B．It has a great power to bring people together.
C．It will change their students’ DNAs. D．It should be introduced to more people around the country.
39．What did the students learn from the program
A．People need to accept who they are. B．We should learn more about family history.
C．People’s personalities can be explained by their bloodlines. D．People from all over the world are connected with each other.
40．The best title for the passage is ________.
A．Our amazing past B．Our amazing present C．Our amazing future D．Our past, present and future
Lost Underground is a story about school children who went on a trip to some caves. These caves were very large and people could go into them only with a guide. However, four children decided to explore on their own. They went in the caves with a group, but left the group and walked down a tunnel. They thought it would be fun to explore the caves alone.
Soon they came to a hole in the wall. They climbed through the hole into another part of the cave. Then they decided to turn back, but they could not remember the way. They were lost in the caves. When the guide led the other children out of the caves, he counted them. He discovered that there were four children missing. He had to go back into the caves to try to find the missing children.
The children who were lost moved deeper and deeper into the caves. The deeper they went, the more lost they became. They were frightened. They started shouting for help, but the guide didn’t hear them. How dangerous they were!

On March 22nd, World Water Day is a day to celebrate water and make a difference for people who do not have the water they need.
The truth about the world
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want, but this is not the case for many people around the world. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink That’s around 1 in 10 people in the world.
But what does this mean
If we drink dirty water, we can catch diseases from the bacteria (细菌) and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from dirty water. That’s around 1,400 children every day! In Ghana, 85% of all disease are from dirty water, and in Nicaragua, 75% of the people don’t have clean drinking water. Also, in some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water, they can’t go to school so they don’t learn how to read and write and don’t get an education.
Water for everyone
In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water. People organize events to raise money.
For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10 km, others climb mountains or even jump from an aeroplane and skydive to the ground. At one school, children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6 km with 6 litres of water, so they can see how it feels to walk along distance carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money to do these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.

They look smaller than the moon also because they are farther away from the earth. There are many other planets in the universe. But of all the planets, only on the earth are there living things and people can only live on the earth, too.
