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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today－the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much influence as the wheel. Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better. In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: the helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.
The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the 1960’s most people could expect to live to be at least 60. By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions went on to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the USA took a step. And then China has made her steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.
31. This passage talks mainly about _________.
A. why cars were very important
B. when electric light was invented
C. which country made the first step into space
D. how inventions influence people’s life
32. In 1800’s, people began to work to make_________.
A. explorations B. life better
C. discoveries D. a trip to space
33. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as _________.
A. radios B. cameras
C. jet planes D. movies
34. People can live longer lives because _________ to help people cure diseases have worked very well.
A. doctors B. new ways
C. medicines D. new hospitals
35. Man didn’t have a desire to explore a lot _________.
A. at the beginning of the 1800’s B. in the 1960’s
C. since the 1900’s D. from the 1800’s to the 1960’s
B
When most people think of the Olympics, they don’t think of science. But in the USA, each year, students take part in a kind of competition called the Science Olympiad.
It has a lot of different events. Students go there to show how much they know about the science of music, biology, chemistry and others. My best event is forestry (森林学).
This time, I went to the Olympiad with my school’s team. We had worked hard, but this was the state competition. It would be hard to win.
The Olympiad was out of town, so we got to ride on a bus and stay in a hotel for a night. The Olympiad was in three big rooms. When we got there, we set up our team’s “camp” off to one side. The big day had come at last! First, I went to watch the tower building competition. That’s when students build small towers and put heavy things on top of it. They hope they can hold them up. One of my schoolmates was putting things on her tower. She was nervous, and in the end it was too heavy for her tower to hold it—it broke! I felt bad for her. After lunch, I helped some teammates with their events. One was geography, and the other was history. I don’t know much about those things, so I just watched my teammates do most of the work. At last, it was time for my favorite event—forestry. Another student was also in the forestry event. The rules were easy. We had to look at more than 40 different kinds of leaves and find out which plants they were from. We also had to answer some questions about the uses of each leaf. I knew almost all of the leaves and could answer most of the questions. I had spent more than a month studying on the Internet to get ready. At the end, it was time for the awards (颁奖), I was nervous, because the forestry awards were last. We won the second place in the whole state! A nice man gave me a medal and smiled at me.
I had a great time at the Science Olympiad. I can’t wait for next year!
36. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. When people talk about Olympics, they never think of the sports games.
B. The writer got some help from others in getting ready for the competition.
C. No one thinks the Olympics has anything to do with science.
D. The writer thought the competition was difficult.
37. The writer felt _________ about the competition.
A. nervous B. excited
C. sad D. bad
38. We know that _________ .
A. you know a lot about biology if you’re good at forestry
B. it's the first time for the writer to be in the competition
C. the writer had to do some experiments in the competition
D. the state competition lasted several days
39. The writer took part in the competition _________ .
A. in the morning B. at noon
C. in the afternoon D. at night
40. The writer_________ at the Science Olympiad.
A. won the first prize B. lost the state competition
C. enjoyed himself D. got 40 different kinds of leaves
C
There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands. We need to know how to make a choice when we shop.
Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we are to live useful and happy lives.
Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day.
We have realized that the choices we make can affect the rest of our lives. Just as importantly, our choices can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: who else does your choice affect?
41. The main idea of this passage is that _________.
A. it’s important to make the right choices
B. it’s important to know how to compare prices
C. it’s important to know how to shop carefully
D. we learn everything we need to know at school
42. We need “life skills” _________.
A. to know how to shop carefully B. to compare brands and prices
C. to live useful and happy lives D. to learn things at school
43. What does the underlined word “junk” mean in paragraph 3?
A. healthy. B. sweet. C. delicious. D. unhealthy.
44. Which of the following choices is more important than the others?
A. Which fruit to take for lunch. B. Which subjects to work hard at.
C. Which T-shirt to wear to the movies. D. How to get to school.
45. From the passage, we know that your choices affect_________.
A. you and your parents B. you and other people
C. lots of other people D. everybody except you

第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面的短文，根据其内容回答问题。
Music is part of every culture on Earth. Many people feel that music makes life worth living. We can make music ourselves if we play an instrument（乐器）or sing. We can hear music on CDs or tapes, on radio or television and even on the Internet. Music gives us pleasure. It can cheer us up, or excite us.
Music can make us feel happy, sad, excited or calm—all kinds of feelings. But what is it? Some people describe it as an artful form of sounds across time. These sounds might be loud or soft, high or low, quick and short, or slow and long. The sounds need to keep on for some time in some kinds of forms to become music.
Music, like language, is a special human form of communication. Also like language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and “speaks” to us in its own way.
What we think of music depends on where we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound strange to someone from another culture. It might not even sound like music. And also you can find that every country has its own typical instruments to show their traditional music.
Today, modern communications make it possible for us to listen to music from all over the world. In this way music from one part of the world could influence music from another part.
Music goes along with many of our activities. We dance to music. We sing songs at school. Many of us exercise to music. We hear music in cars and stores. Music comes with many important moments.
Music pleases us. We listen to slow music, spiritual music, pop music, rock music, and opera. We have favorite performers. We hear music as the background in movies. Perhaps we go to the theater to see a musical movie — play with music, singing, and often with dancing.
Music is part of our lives.
46. Can we hear music on the Internet?
47. What kinds of feelings can music give us?
48. Why can music all over the world influence each other today?
49. What are the similarities between music and language?
50. What is the passage mainly about?
