III. 阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分)
A
Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly(蝴蝶) will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet (多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat food with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
1. We can infer from the text that humans and animals______.
A. depend on one sense in choosing food
B. are not satisfied with their food
C. choose food in similar ways
D. eat entirely different food
2. Which of the following eats only one type of food?
A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.
C. The bear. D. The fox.
3. Certain animals change their choice of food when _______.
A. the season changes
B. the food color changes
C. they move to different places
D. they are attracted by different smells
4. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.
A. food is chosen for a good reason
B. French and British food is good
C. some people have few choices of food
D. some people care little about healthy diet
B
Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy’s leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23. It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia’s largest city in a month.
The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney’s northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked. The city’s beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.
“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing (激烈扭动) about in the water, ”police said. “Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.”
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said, “It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.” He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore. “There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine. ”The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.
Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”, but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures(骨折). He was in a stable condition now.
Several beaches were closed after the attack. Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks. But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy. “I don’t even know if he saw it.”Miller said.
Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney’s beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare. However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city’s world-famous Bondi beach.
Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise. There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks. Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish. Many shark species, including the Great White—the man-eaters made famous in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws—are protected in Australian waters.
5. The report mainly tells us _______.
A. shark attacks on humans are on the rise
B. sharks attacked humans three times in one month
C. a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach
D. shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney’s beaches
6. The underlined word “savaged” in the first paragraph probably means “_______ ”.
A. attracted B. dragged
C. bit D. packed
7. What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?
A. It is one of the largest cities in Australia.
B. Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.
C. There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.
D. There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney’s beaches.
8. About the injury of the boy we know that _______ .
A. he was losing much blood when he was dragged out
B. he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital
C. he may be in danger of losing his leg
D. he was injured in the right leg

V.回答问题 (共4小题;每小题2.5分,满分10分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
The world’s first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people. So the officials decided to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a convenient way to get to and from work, they would live outside of the city and this would help reduce the pressure. From these problems, the idea of the London Underground was born.
The plans for building the underground met with several problems, but the first track was finally opened in January, 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the first underground track which was six kilometers long. About 30, 000 people got on the subway the first day. They were treated to comfortable seats and pleasant decorations inside the cars. However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot, as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnel later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems, riding the underground did become popular. It carried nine million riders in its first year.
Modern subways have come a long way since the early days of the London Underground.
Today there are more than one hundred underground systems around the world. Shopping malls built in traffic stations have helped the popularity of subways. Nowadays many stations include underground department stores, supermarkets and restaurants. Shoppers never have to go above ground!

答案与解析
I. 1. 选A。考查冠词。progress是不可数名词,即使前面有形容词修饰,也不与不定冠词连用;make a contribution是固定搭配,意思是“做出贡献”。
2. 选B。考查连词。句意为:大象有自己的方法来辨别物体的形状,它还可以辨别物体是粗糙的还是光滑的。whether引导的宾语从句与the shape of an object并列。因为从句中有选择词or,所以只能用 whether。
3. 选C。考查非谓语动词。题中的herself和stare是主动关系,而且stare的动作正在进行。因此用staring。
4. 选B。考查过去完成时。电影上演(be on)动作发生在她到达(got to)影院动作之前,故应用过去完成时。
5. 选D。考查so. . . that. . . 和such. . . that. . . 句式的辨析。它们的句式分别是:so + adj. + a/an +n. + that; such + a/an + adj. +n. +that, 都表示“太……以至于……”。
6. 选C。考查whether引导表语从句的用法。句意:医生真正怀疑的是我妈妈是否能够很快从重病中恢复健康。根据语境,选whether最合适。不能选when,因为有时间状语soon。
7. 选A。句意:据报道,她忙于搬入一套豪宅而不是备战运动会。rather than“而不是”;other than“除了”;more than“不仅仅”;except for“除了”,表示除去整体中的一部分。
8. 选B。what在此引导主语从句,同时在从句中作主语。
9. 选D。考查倍数结构:A is. . . times+比较级+than B,故选项D正确。
10. 选B。考查名词性从句。第一空白处是doubt用于疑问句中,其后面的宾语从句连词应用that引导。第二空白处是doubtful用于否定句中,其形容词宾语从句连词同样用that引导。
11. 选D。在depend on后如有that引导的宾语从句,要在从句前加上it然后再接that从句。
12. 选D。考查代词。句意:看看那辆自行车的价格!它的价格几乎和一辆新摩托车的价格一样。本句中用that代替特指的单数名词the price。
13. 选B。考查名词性从句。本题考查that引导的同位语,对fear进行解释、说明,that只充当引导词,没有实际意义,而so that引导结果或目的状语。
14. 选B。考查动词。to avoid为动词不定式作目的状语,avoid后接动名词作宾语。
15. 选A。句意为:在交上你的申请表之前,你需要在你的申请表上贴上/附上你的一张近期照片。attach“贴上;附上”,与语境相符。fix“固定,安装”;post“邮寄”;load“装载”,均与语境不符。
16. 选A。句意为:我总是把这对双胞胎搞混了,他们看上去太相像了。confuse“混淆”,与语境相符。recognize“认出”;hesitate“犹豫”;puzzle“使迷惑”,均与语境不符。
17. 选B。句意:大部分孩子被电视广告所吸引而购买不利于健康的食物。collect收集,聚集; attract吸引,引起注意;contact接触,联系;reject拒绝。
18. 选C。考查动词。句意:——露西知道这个好消息了吗?——我打算告诉她,可是她不理我。ignore忽视,不理;refuse拒绝;bother干扰;inform通知。
19. 选A。考查非谓语动词。该空在句中为非谓语动词作宾补,根据someone与call的主动关系排除D项。hear后接不定式作宾补时应省略to,由此排除C项。由Listen!可判断此处表示“正在求救”,故选A项。
20. 选A。考查复合宾语结构。句意:我发现画画和听音乐能让人放松。relaxing令人放松的,补充说明painting和listening to music的特点,作宾语补足语。
II. 1. 选C。根据后文可知,作者原以为校园里会很安静,学生们都会在教室里上课,而他/她所看到的与所预料的完全不同,故可知他/她很惊讶。

20. 选B。一名只知道学习而不知道玩的学生,突然生病死了,他临死前最想做的事情让老师们做出了每个学期让学生尽情玩十天的决定,正是那个男孩的死让别的学生有了玩的权利。

The pictures tell us what happened to Lin Lin.
Lin Lin is a schoolgirl who works hard at her lessons because she wants to go to university after graduation. But she is not good at maths. So she is worried about the coming exam.
Last night, Lin Lin had a very bad dream. In her dream, she failed the maths exam. As a result, the maths teacher made her stand at the back of the classroom as a punishment. When she got home, her mother punished her by asking her to kneel down. What was worse, all her classmates laughed at her, saying, “Ha! Ha! How stupid you are! ”
