阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.
During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680,the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.
By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas did not change much in style during all this time, though they became much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made in a whole variety of colours.
1. According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient________.
A. China B. Egypt C. Greece D. Rome
2. In Europe, the umbrella was first used against the rain________.
A. during the Middle Ages
B. by the eighteenth century
C. in ancient Rome
D. in ancient Greece
3. This passage mainly talks about________.
A. when and how the umbrella was invented
B. why the umbrella was so popular in Europe
C. the development of the umbrella
D. the history and use of the umbrella
B
Millions of years ago dinosaurs lived on the earth. In the days of dinosaurs the whole earth was warm and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to eat. Later, parts of the earth became cold and dry, and the forests there died. Then dinosaurs could not find enough to eat. This must be one reason why dinosaurs died out.
We can guess another reason. New kinds of animals came on the earth. Some had big brains and were fast and strong. They could kill dinosaurs.
There may be other reasons that we don’t know about yet. Scientists are trying to make more discoveries about dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs have many sizes and shapes (形状). Some were as small as chickens, while some were about 90 feet long.
There were also terrible fights between dinosaurs. They might have happened more than 100 million years ago. Though there was no man to see any of the fights, we can be told by the footprints (足迹) that fights did take place.
4. According to the passage, dinosaurs did exist only________on the earth.
A. for millions of years
B. millions of years ago
C. more than 100 million years ago
D. when it was warm and wet somewhere
5. One reason why dinosaurs died out is that________.
A. there were too many dinosaurs
B. parts of the earth became warm and wet
C. there were many green forests
D. they couldn’t find enough to eat
6. We can see from this passage________.
A. scientists are trying to make some dinosaurs
B. dinosaurs are dangerous enough
C. dinosaurs are worth studying further
D. scientists know nothing about dinosaurs
7 Those terrible fights can be explained by________.
A. footprints B. imagination C. rocks and forests D. dinosaurs’ eggs
C
What killed King Tut Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’s most famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different answer to this more than 3300-year-old mystery. A team of researchers now say that King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications (并发症) from a broken leg.
Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt. His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.
Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.
Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science, including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy (木乃伊). Scientist Carsten Pusch conducted the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg contributed to the young king’s death.
More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb. This supports the team’s findings. But how could a person die from a simple broken leg
Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that indicates he had malaria (疟疾), a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria severely weakens the immune system.
Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king’s fracture (骨折) to become deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone — not a jealous adviser — are likely the real causes of King Tut’s death.
8. It has long been believed by historians and scientists that _____.
A. King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world history
B. King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of Egypt
C. King Tut was murdered by one of his advisers
D. King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants
9. From the passage we can learn that _____.
A. the king had been dead for 3,300 years
B the king was buried grandly
C. the king was born with a bad immune system
D. the king’s body was well kept in the tomb
10. Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tut’s death by _____.
A. testing the king’s immune system
B. studying the walking sticks found in the tomb
C. performing experiments on mosquitoes
D. applying DNA tests and electronic scan technology
11. The passage mainly tells us about _____.
A. a different answer to King Tut’s death
B. a famous boy king in ancient Egypt
C. a treasure-filled tomb discovered in Egypt
D. a team of researchers studying ancient tombs
D
It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s(青蛙) legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.
The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.
The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂)and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
12. From Paragragh1 we learn that the villagers .
A. worked very hard for centuries
B. dreamed of having a better life
C. were poor but somewhat content
D. lived a different life from their forefathers
13. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs
A. The frogs were easy money.
B. They needed money to buy medicine.
C. They wanted to please the visitors.
D. The frogs made too much noise.
14. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness
A. The crops didn’t do well.
B. There were too many insects.
C. The visitors brought in diseases.
D. The pesticides were overused.
15. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text
A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.
B. Health is more important than money.
C. The harmony(和谐) between man and nature is important.
D. Good old days will never be forgotten.

I remember the first time I met Roy. He was telling a joke. When he reached the final line, everyone burst out laughing. “A popular boy,” I thought to myself. My name is Daniel. I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.
Five years later, Roy and I were still in the same class. But just a year ago Roy’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance. Roy changed completely. He started losing friends, including me.
About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom, I went inside to get it and found Roy going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet and I knew it wasn’t his. Roy went bright red. “I will put it back right now,” he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week, our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about ￡500. But to our surprise, the next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there were about ￡500 there. I was so surprised that I just stood there, holding the notes in my hand. And that moment, Roy walked in.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已为你写好。

Seeing me standing there with money in my hand, Roy felt panicked (恐慌的).

What killed King Tut Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’s most famous king was probably murdered. But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery. A team of researchers now say that King Tut, the boy ruler, died of complications (并发症) from a broken leg.
Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun. He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt. His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago. It was filled with royal riches, including a solid-gold coffin, a gold mask, and piles of jewelry.
Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19. Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers, named Ay, who wanted to be king. But thanks to a major modern science project, it seems Ay is innocent.
Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science, including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy (木乃伊). Scientist Carsten Pusch conducted the tests on Tut for the new study. He thinks a broken leg contributed to the young king’s death.
More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb. This supports the team’s findings. But how could a person die from a simple broken leg
Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that indicates he had malaria (疟疾), a disease carried by mosquitoes. Malaria severely weakens the immune system.
Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king’s fracture (骨折) to become deadly. Finally, the young king was just too weak to recover. So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone — not a jealous adviser — are likely the real causes of King Tut’s death.
8. It has long been believed by historians and scientists that _____.
A. King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world history
B. King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of Egypt
C. King Tut was murdered by one of his advisers
D. King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants
9. From the passage we can learn that _____.
A. the king had been dead for 3,300 years
B. the king was buried grandly
C. the king was born with a bad immune system
D. the king’s body was well kept in the tomb
10. Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tut’s death by _____.

C. performing experiments on mosquitoes
D. applying DNA tests and electronic scan technology

It was a village in India. The people were poor. However they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s(青蛙) legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.
The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.
The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂)and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
12. From Paragragh1 we learn that the villagers .
A. worked very hard for centuries
B. dreamed of having a better life
C were poor but somewhat content
D. lived a different life from their forefathers
13. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs
A. The frogs were easy money.
B. They needed money to buy medicine.
C. They wanted to please the visitors.
D. The frogs made too much noise.
14. What might be the cause of the children’s sickness
A. The crops didn’t do well.
B. There were too many insects.
C. The visitors brought in diseases.
D. The pesticides were overused.
15. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text
A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.
B. Health is more important than money.
C. The harmony(和谐) between man and nature is important.
D. Good old days will never be forgotten.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要以阿斯旺大坝的修建说明在进步和文化遗产保护之间保持适当的平衡可能是一个巨大的挑战。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：随着经济的繁荣，总有一个时候，旧的必须让位于新的，因此不太可能从过去保存一切。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，关系词指代先行词a time并在从句中作时间状语，因此空格处用关系副词when，故填when。
【37题详解】
考查不定式。句意：随着经济的繁荣，总有一个时候，旧的必须让位于新的，因此不太可能从过去保存一切。it is likely to do sth.是固定句型，意为“可能做某事”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，故填to preserve。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：在这种情况下，在进步和文化遗产保护之间保持适当的平衡可能是一个巨大的挑战。由the和of可知，空格处用名词，protect的名词是protection，意为“保护”，是不可数名词，故填protection。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在这种情况下，在进步和文化遗产保护之间保持适当的平衡可能是一个巨大的挑战。challenge是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，big是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：1902年，一座大坝在阿斯旺建成，它在干旱时提供灌溉，但无法阻挡强大的尼罗河每年的洪水。空格处用名词作宾语，dry的名词是drought，意为“干旱”，此处作不可数名词，故填drought。
【41题详解】
考查虚拟语气和被动语态。句意：在20世纪50年代，埃及政府提议在尼罗河上建造一座新的大坝，以使更多的农民受益。propose意为“提议”，其后的宾语从句中用“should+动词原形”的虚拟语气，其中should可省略，大坝是被修，因此空格处是be built。故填be built。
【42题详解】
考查不定式。句意：在20世纪50年代，埃及政府提议在尼罗河上建造一座新的大坝，以使更多的农民受益。修建大坝的目的是使农民受益，因此空格处用不定式表目的，故填to benefit。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：然而，这一提议引发了抗议，因为大坝的水可能会威胁到一些对埃及具有独特历史意义的文物。根据下文“the proposal led to protests”可知，前后两句是转折关系，空后有逗号，用逻辑副词however表转折，位于句首，首字母大写，故填However。
【44题详解】
考查动词。句意：然而，这一提议引发了抗议，因为大坝的水可能会威胁到一些对埃及具有独特历史意义的文物。would是情态动词，其后跟动词原形，threat的动词是threaten，意为“威胁”。故填threaten。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，这一提议引发了抗议，因为大坝的水可能会威胁到一些对埃及具有独特历史意义的文物。historical是形容词，修饰名词，significant的名词是significance，是不可数名词，意为“意义”。故填significance。

【答案】 As is known to all, many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction because of human activities.
From my point of view, our government should take measures to protect wild animals. For example, many national parks should be set up as wild life reserves. As ordinary citizens, we should also protect animals in our daily life. When we see a stray cat or a stray dog, we’d better give it some food, as sometimes it is difficult for it to find food.
In daily life, I often tell my friends around me the importance of protecting wild animals, which can raise their awareness of protecting wild animals.

I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class, and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.
Five years later, Roy and I were still in the same class. But just a year ago Roy’s father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance. Roy changed completely. He started losing friends, including me.
About three months ago, a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom, I went inside to get it and found Roy going through the pockets of people’s coats. In his hand he had a wallet and I knew it wasn’t his. Roy went bright red. “I will put it back right now,” he said, and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week, our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about ￡500. But to our surprise, the next morning, we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there were about ￡500 there. I was so surprised that I just stood there, holding the notes in my hand. And that moment, Roy walked in.

【答案】Seeing me standing there with money in my hand, Roy felt panicked (恐慌的). I became very angry, asking him if it was the money that we raised last week. He went bright red, admitting that he had stolen it in a low voice. I slowly calmed down and hugged him, telling him that I would be willing to help him overcome his difficulty. He wept and then we had a sincere face-to-face talk. At last, we agreed to return the money.
We went to the head teacher Mrs Smith, together. In the teacher's office, Roy returned the money to Mrs Smith, and guaranteed not to do such things again. Though Mrs Smith was so surprised that she couldn't believe her eyes, she praised him for his courage and told him if he had difficulty with finance she would be ready to help him. Roy was moved to tears. After that, we became good friends again. We trusted each other and shared sorrow and happiness together.
