Mona Island is an amazing place to take a vacation. Some of the animals living there can’t be found anywhere else in the world. There are beautiful beaches and caves to explore. The sea around the island has colorful fishes.
Why Is Mona Island Unusual
Mona Island is very small. The government of Puerto Rico takes care of the island and has made it a natural reserve. That means the island’s animals and plants are protected from being harmed by people. Mona Island is different from most places because people are not allowed to live there. Only a few park rangers are able to stay.
The park rangers’ job is to keep Mona Island safe and beautiful. They insist that rules be followed. One rule is that only 100 people at a time can visit the island. That way, the park rangers can make sure the land and animals remain safe.
What Is There to See on Mona Island
One thing that most people enjoy is getting to see the Mona Island iguana. This type of reptile (爬行动物) lives only on Mona Island. Almost 2,000 of these iguanas live on Mona Island.
People also come to the island to get a close-up view of many kinds of fish and other sea life. They can swim far below the surface. They use special equipment to be able to breathe underwater. The water is almost transparent. Through the clear water, divers can see the bright colors of the fish.
Visitors can also explore caves. Some of the caves even have paintings and drawings on the walls. This artwork was made by the Arawak and Taíno Indians who lived on the island hundreds of years ago.
After a full day of fun activities, visitors can settle in, listen to the night sounds, and view the stars in the huge sky. Because the island is far away from other places, it is surrounded by darkness, and the stars are easier to see. Visitors say that watching the stars is amazing. It’s the perfect end to a perfect day.
36．What do park rangers on Mona Island do
A．Offer some help to visitors. B．Drive a boat between Puerto Rico and Mona Island.
C．Feed animals on Mona Island. D．Protect the land and animals.
37．Which of the following best explains the word “transparent”
A．so clear that you can see through B．too bright to be seen
C．too deep to be reached D．so difficult that you can’t finish
38．Where can artwork be seen on Mona Island
A．On the beaches. B．In a museum. C．In the caves. D．On the wall of the hotel.
39．Why are the stars easier to see on Mona Island
A．Because Mona Island is very small.
B．Because Mona Island is amazing.
C．Because visitors can settle in after a full day on Mona Island.
D．Because Mona Island is far from other places and darkness is all around it.
40．What is the most possible reason the author wrote this article
A．To explain why animals live on the island.
B．To show readers where the island is located.
C．To tell about a place that some people might enjoy.
D．To give facts about people who work on the island.
D篇
Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won’t have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You’ll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.
The eye-recognition (眼睛识别) program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.
However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or from the mark made by your finger.
Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programs may only be 51%. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.
In the future your computer will recognize you in the eye. So smile!
41．What will the program for remembering eyes be used for
A．Banks and computers. B．Banks and shops.
C．Schools and computers. D．Schools and shops.
42．How does the eye-recognition program work
A．You look at the machine and type a number.
B．You need to speak and then look.
C．The machine looks at your face.
D．You look at the machine.
43．Which recognition program is already in use
A．Remembering eyes and smell. B．Remembering fingers or voices.
C．Remembering faces and voices. D．Remembering hands and faces.
44．What problems could there be with the eye-recognition program
A．Some eyes are the same. B．Eyes can change.
C．It is not always correct. D．Eyes can get dirty.
45．What’s the advantage of using recognition programs in this passage
A．You needn’t remember a number.
B．You needn’t take money with you.
C．You don’t need to speak.
D．People think they are interesting.

五、阅读表达（共5小题;满分10分。

Now many young people enjoy travelling around the world on their own. It’s not because they have no one to travel with, but because they think traveling alone is exciting and challenging. With no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if you lose your wallet, it is a big challenge. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character-building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own. It’s exciting and special to travel alone. But it’s also dangerous to travel alone sometimes. So here is some advice for traveling alone.
Don’t choose a hotel if you’re not sure whether it’s safe. If you do, ask for a room near the elevator (电梯), so you won’t need to walk down long in the hallway (走廊). Besides, make sure the clerk writes down your room number.
Don’t arrive at night. Sometimes, areas around bus or train stations can be scary (使人惊慌的) at night, and some small towns may shut down early.
Keep your documents safe. Put your passport, extra money and other important documents in safe places, and use a bag or wallet to carry daily spending money.
Know some common sense. It is very important to stay safe and have an enjoyable time while you are traveling alone. For example, don’t walk around late at night, don’t drink with strangers and don’t take a free car for saving money.
71．Why is travelling alone challenging
72．Why do many young people prefer to travel alone
73．If you want to travel alone, how do you choose a hotel and a room according to the passage
74．What should you do to keep your money safe
