In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and machines are developing every day to extend life.
However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they say that people should have the right(权利) to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself, and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They say that people should be allowed to die with dignity(尊严) and to decide when they want to die.

The world’ s water shortage
The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% — the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.
However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly — almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious worldwide water shortage (缺少) later on.
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system (下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.
But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.
23. The world is thirsty for water because ________.
A. man hasn’t got enough food to eat B. we haven’t got enough fresh water
C. only 70% of the earth’s surface is water D. more water is sent into sewer systems
24. The underlined word valuable means________.
A. much and salty B. fresh and enough
C. dear and useful D. clean and helpful
25. What should we do if we want to have enough fresh water
(a) Make full use of the sea water.
(b) Carry salt water into lakes or rivers.
(c) Try to save the fresh water as much as possible
(d) Do our best to use the water again.
(e) Drink and use all the water on the earth’s surface
A. (c) and (e) B. (a) and (d) C. (a), (c) and (d) D. (b), (d) and (e)
26. The best but the most difficult way to solve (解决) the water problem of the world is to________.
A. remove the salt from sea water B. make the water in cities clean
C. take water from underground D. make the need for water smaller
D
In my senior year of high school, Mike and I were lined up in front of a small group of students made up mainly of the leaders of the senior classes. Our teacher said to us," The two of you will never amount to anything."
There was some snickering (窃笑)from some of the seniors as the teacher continued,"From now on,I am not going to waste any more time on either of you. I am only going to spend my time with these class leaders. You two are the class downs with bad grades, and you will never amount to anything. Now get out of here. "
That teacher did Mike and me the biggest favor of all. While what she said was true in many ways and her words hurt us deeply, her words also inspired both of us to work even harder. They carried us through college and into our own businesses.
A few years ago, Mike and I attended our high school reunion.It was nice to visit with people with whom we had spent three years during a period of time when none of us really knew who we were. It was also interesting to see that most of the so-called senior leaders had not become successful in the years after high school.
I tell this story because Mike and I were not academic whiz kids. We were neither financial experts nor athletic stars. For the most part, we were slow-to-average learners and students. In my opinion,we were not as naturally gifted as our fathers. Yet it was our teacher's stinging words and the snickering from our classmates that gave us the strength to move forward, to learn from our mistakes and to keep doing in both good times and bad times.
Just because you didn't do well in school, were not popular, bad in math, or have other reasons to underestimate yourself-none of them count in the long run. They only count if you think they count.
For those who're considering beginning your own financial fast track, you may have some doubts about your abilities. Trust that you have everything you need right now to be successful financially. All it takes to bring out your natural God-given gifts is your desire, determination and a deep faith that you have a genius and a gift that is unique.
27. What did Mike and I think of the teacher's words
A. Her stinging words inspired them.
B. Her inspiring words hurt them deeply.
C. Her encouraging words helped them through bad times.
D. Her bitter words discouraged them from working harder.
28. At the school union,the author found _______
A. their former classmates didn't recognize him
B. it was boring to see their formers classmates
C. most of the class clowns turned out successful
D. most of the senior leaders didn't become successful
29. The underlined word "whiz" in Paragraph 5 means"
A. know-nothing B. slow
C. stupid D. genius
30. According to the author,which of the following people can achieve financial success
A. Those who have faith in themselves
B. Those who did not do well in school
C. Those who have natural God-given gifts
D. Those who are doubtful about their abilities

Some people say it’s too much work to save science camp, but the fact is that if we all help out, we can reach our goal easily. ___34___ For example, we could hold a talent auction (拍卖).

The world’ s water shortage
The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% — the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.
However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly — almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious worldwide water shortage (缺少) later on.
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system (下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了全球水资源紧缺的问题，并提出了解决方案。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% — the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources.(世界不仅饥饿，而且渴得要命。这对你来说可能很奇怪，因为地球表面近70%被水覆盖。但其中97%是海水或咸水。人类只能饮用和使用剩下的3%——来自河流、湖泊、地下和其他来源的淡水)”可知，世界缺水是因为我们没有足够的淡水。故选B项。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% — the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.(但其中97%是海水或咸水。人类只能饮用和使用剩下的3%——来自河流、湖泊、地下和其他来源的淡水。我们甚至不能用所有这些。更糟糕的是，其中一些被弄脏了)”和第二段中“We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious worldwide water shortage (缺少) later on.(我们现在应该采取措施来解决这个问题，这样我们就可以在以后摆脱严重的全球水资源短缺)”可推知，全球水资源短缺，淡水十分珍贵。所以划线词所在句“We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water.(我们都必须学会如何停止浪费我们的valuable water)”中valuable可理解为dear and useful，意为“宝贵的和有用的”。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it.(我们都必须学会如何停止浪费我们宝贵的水。第一步是找到循环使用它的方法)”和第四段中“All we’d have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.(我们所要做的就是去除海水中的盐分)”可知，想要有足够的淡水，我们可以去除海水中的盐分，充分利用海水；可以试着停止浪费，尽可能地节约淡水；还可以尽我们最大的努力循环使用淡水。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.(但是，即使每个大城市都循环使用水，我们仍然不够用。我们所要做的就是去除海水中的盐分。如果我们采取这些措施，我们就不会有枯竭的危险)”可推知，循环使用淡水并不能最终解决问题，所以最好的办法是去除海水中的盐分，净化海水，结合常识，大规模地净化海水并不是一件容易的事情。所以解决世界水问题的最好但最难的方法是“把盐从海水中除去”。故选A项。
D
In my senior year of high school, Mike and I were lined up in front of a small group of students made up mainly of the leaders of the senior classes. Our teacher said to us," The two of you will never amount to anything."
There was some snickering (窃笑)from some of the seniors as the teacher continued,"From now on,I am not going to waste any more time on either of you. I am only going to spend my time with these class leaders. You two are the class downs with bad grades, and you will never amount to anything. Now get out of here. "
That teacher did Mike and me the biggest favor of all. While what she said was true in many ways and her words hurt us deeply, her words also inspired both of us to work even harder. They carried us through college and into our own businesses.
A few years ago, Mike and I attended our high school reunion.It was nice to visit with people with whom we had spent three years during a period of time when none of us really knew who we were. It was also interesting to see that most of the so-called senior leaders had not become successful in the years after high school.
I tell this story because Mike and I were not academic whiz kids. We were neither financial experts nor athletic stars. For the most part, we were slow-to-average learners and students. In my opinion,we were not as naturally gifted as our fathers. Yet it was our teacher's stinging words and the snickering from our classmates that gave us the strength to move forward, to learn from our mistakes and to keep doing in both good times and bad times.
Just because you didn't do well in school, were not popular, bad in math, or have other reasons to underestimate yourself-none of them count in the long run. They only count if you think they count.
For those who're considering beginning your own financial fast track, you may have some doubts about your abilities. Trust that you have everything you need right now to be successful financially. All it takes to bring out your natural God-given gifts is your desire, determination and a deep faith that you have a genius and a gift that is unique.
27. What did Mike and I think of the teacher's words
A. Her stinging words inspired them.
B. Her inspiring words hurt them deeply.
C. Her encouraging words helped them through bad times.
D. Her bitter words discouraged them from working harder.
28. At the school union,the author found _______
A. their former classmates didn't recognize him
B. it was boring to see their formers classmates
C. most of the class clowns turned out successful
D. most of the senior leaders didn't become successful
29. The underlined word "whiz" in Paragraph 5 means"
A. know-nothing B. slow
C. stupid D. genius
30. According to the author,which of the following people can achieve financial success
A. Those who have faith in themselves
B. Those who did not do well in school
C. Those who have natural God-given gifts
D. Those who are doubtful about their abilities
【答案】27. A 28. D 29. D 30. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章通过作者和朋友受到老师刻薄的话的启发，更加努力学习最终取得成功的故事，告诉读者不要因为自己在学校不够优秀就低估自己，只要有渴望并对自己有信心就有取得成功的可能。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的While what she said was true in many ways and her words hurt us deeply, her words also inspired both of us to work even harder.(尽管她所说的在很多方面都是真的，她的话也深深地伤害了我们，但是她的话鼓励我们两人更加努力学习。)可知，老师的话启发和鼓励作者和Mike。 A. Her stinging words inspired them.(她刺耳的话启发了他们)符合以上说法，故选A项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的It was also interesting to see that most of the so-called senior leaders had not become successful in the years after high school.可知，作者吃惊地发现，大多数当年所谓的班长在高中毕业后的这些年并没有成为成功者。D. most of the senior leaders didn't become successful(大多数的高中班长都没有成功)符合以上说法，故选D项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段的You two are the class downs with bad grades(你们两个是班上的后进生，成绩很差)和划线部分所在句子I tell this story because Mike and I were not academic whiz kids.(我讲这个故事是因为Mike和我不是学术上whiz的孩子)可猜测划线部分的意思是 “天才”。D. genius(天才)符合以上说法，故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的Trust that you have everything you need right now to be successful financially. All it takes to bring out your natural God-given gifts is your desire, determination and a deep faith that you have a genius and a gift that is unique.(相信你拥有在经济取得成功所需要的一切。激发你的天赋所需要的是渴望、深深的信念，相信你有天赋，而且这个天赋是独一无二的。)可知，那些有渴望，并且对自己有信心的人容易在经济上取得成功。A. Those who have faith in themselves(那些相信自己的人)符合以上说法，故选A项。
五、七选五(每题 2.5 分，共 12.5 分)
Nature is the best laboratory for learning about nature. For ten years, every student at Wadsworth Middle School has been looking forward to his or her turn to attend a three-day science camp. ___31___ Science camp is important to the students, and we must raise the money necessary to save it.
Without science camp, students will miss out on a unique learning experience. In science class, they learn to identify rocks by picking them up out of a box. ___32___ Science camp also lets students experiment with different forms of energy. For example, students get to build miniature (微型的) steam engines that are powered by campfires. They also make solar panels that heat camp water. These experiences would be tough to create in a classroom.
Science camp is for everybody, and it won’t be saved unless everybody helps raise money for it. To get started, Principal Jeffries and the student council could set up a “science camp fund (资金)” at a local bank. Every year, science camp costs $3,000. ___33___
Some people say it’s too much work to save science camp, but the fact is that if we all help out, we can reach our goal easily. ___34___ For example, we could hold a talent auction (拍卖). By washing cars, babysitting, or using other talents, students can meet the goal. We could also hold a bake sale. Students could even ask local businesses to sponsor them.
___35___ If we all work together, we’ll easily raise the money to save it.
A. Students can raise money in many ways.
B. Now it might be canceled because of budget cuts.
C. They investigate the world through hands-on science.
D. Science camp is perfect for creative and curious ones.
E. Science camp is a great tradition that deserves to be saved.
F. That sounds expensive, but if every student raises just $10, the fund would be filled.
G. At science camp, they learn to identify rocks by finding them in mountain sides or river beds.
【答案】31. B 32. G 33. F 34. A 35. E
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自然科学营的重要性以及号召学生集资保护它。
【31题详解】
空格位于段中。空格前一句句意为：十年来，华兹华斯中学的每个学生一直很期望轮到自己去参加为期3天的自然科学营。选项B（现在，由于预算减少，它有可能被取消）中的it与上句中的a three-day science camp形成指代关系。并且选项B与下句（自然科学营对于学生很重要，我们必须集资来拯救它）句意吻合，其中的cancelled与下句中的save形成反义呼应。故选B。
【32题详解】
空格位于段中。空格上一句句意为：在科学课上，他们通过从箱子里拿出石头来学习辨别石头。选项G（在自然科学营，他们通过在山间或者河床上捡石头的方法学习辨别石头）与上句形成对比，体现了这段中心句“Without science camp, students will miss out on a unique learning experience.（没有自然科学营，学生将错失一个独特的学习经历。）”。并且选项G的句式与上句句式完全一致。故选G。
【33题详解】
空格位于段尾。空格前一句句意为：每年，科学训练营花费3000美金。选项F（这听起来很贵，但是如果每个学生集资10美金，这项基金就会被填满）与上句句意逻辑一致，并且选项F中的that可以指代上句中提到的$3,000。故选F。
【34题详解】
空格位于段中。空格后的单词为for example，可知，后边的句子是证明空格处的中心句的。空格后句意为：例如，我们可以拍卖。通过洗车、看孩子、或者用其它才能，学生能达到这个目标。我们还可以举行烤饼义卖。由此可知，这些都是集资的方式。由此可知选项A（学生可以通过很多方式集资）与空格后句子逻辑一致，故选A。
【35题详解】
空格位于段首。空格后句意为：如果我们一起努力，我们很容易凑够保护它的钱。选项E（自然科学营是值得保护的一个很好的传统）与下句逻辑一致，其中的deserves to be saved（值得被保护）与下句中的save呼应，故选E。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文，不仅在内容上要前后一致，而且还要语篇结构清晰，上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为：文章是总分结构，还是按时间或空间顺序发展的，还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。例如本文中第一题、第三题都可以通过上下句之间代词的指代关系解题；第二题可以通过句式一致性解题；第四题通过例子证明中心的逻辑解题；第五题通过上下句关键词呼应解题。所以拿到一篇文章，同学们首先要根据篇章类型与空格位置推断使用什么方法解题，有助于加快解题速度。

52. a 53. invention
54. began 55. from
56. to climb
57. racers 58. exactly
59. which 60. demanding
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在瑞士的M rren附近的、每年一月举行的、是最古老和最著名的业余滑雪比赛the Inferno。详细介绍了它的起源以及现在比赛与过去比赛的不同之处。
【51题详解】
考查一般现在时的被动语态。句意：它每年一月在瑞士的M rren附近举行。由于首句使用的是一般现在时，所以第二句话对这个活动的介绍也应使用一般现在时。由句中的every January也可知，这句话应使用一般现在时。It与hold之间是被动关系，所以使用被动语态。主语It是第三人称单数形式，所以谓语动词也应使用第三人称单数形式。故填is held。
【52题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：只要属于一个滑雪俱乐部，任何人都可以参加。空格处单词位于介词后，名词前，又没有提示词，所以填冠词。“ski racing club”在文中第一次出现，且使用的是单数形式，所以填不定冠词。“ski”是以辅音音素开始的，故填a。
【53题详解】
考查名词。句意：The Inferno是被一个名叫Henry Lunn的英国商人发明的，他在最早在20世纪初提出打包假期的想法，并开始带领一群又一群的人去阿尔卑斯山做冬季运动。空格处单词位于定冠词后，介词前，所以使用名词形式。“invent（发明）”的名词形式为invention，故填invention。
【54题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意同上。“and”前后连接两个并列的句子，由and前的分句使用的一般过去时可知，and后句子也应使用一般过去时。故填began。
【55题详解】
考查介词。句意：几年后，俱乐部的17名成员参加了第一场Inferno比赛，从海拔2970米的希尔霍恩山顶到下面的M rren。根据句意可知及空格后的介词to可知，这句话表达“从……到……”的路线。“从……到……”可翻译为from…to…。故填from。
【56题详解】
考查情态动词。句意：在早些年的时候，在比赛开始前，他们常常需要从M rren的火车站攀爬六个小时。“过去常常做……”可翻译为used to do sth.，故填to climb。
【57题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：现在，比赛的人用一个缆车，仅仅需要20分钟。由空格后的use可知，空格处名词应使用复数形式。故填racers。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意：现在，它将近刚刚一个小时。空格处单词修饰谓语动词tends to be，所以用副词形式。故填exactly。
【59题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：这条路线，又陡又有急转弯，依然是世界上最费力又最令人害怕的路线之一。这是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词为The course，指物，并且先行词在从句中作主语，所以使用关系词which。故填which。
【60题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。“and”前后连接两个并列的成份，由and后使用的形容词frightening可知，空格处也应填形容词。“demand（需求）”的形容词形式为demanding（费力的，要求极严的），故填demanding。
