A
In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn't consider how people would want to use the technology，or whether people really needed it in their lives or not. Let's look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.2-1-c-n-j-y
Robot Helpers
Where's the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere，of course. And he's probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.21*cnjy*com
Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people's homes.21*cnjy*com
So why hasn't it happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
Telephones of Tomorrow
In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn't caught on yet.
Why? The technology worked fine, but it over-looked something obvious：people's desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower? Probably not—it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn't always mean people will want to use it.
And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It's not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.
1．The whole passage is mainly about ________.
A. predictions that have come true
B. predictions that haven't come true
C. why predictions don't come true easily
D. what technology will bring about
答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。作者列举了很久以前人们对未来的预测的例子来证明并不是所有的预测都能完全实现。故选B项．
2．The author of this passage won't believe that ______.
A. predictions needn't consider people's practical use of technology
B. the future isn't always easy to guess
C. not all past predictions have come true
D. many of the high-tech things our parents thought we'd be using by now simply never appeared【出处：21教育名师】
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Many of these predictions didn't consider how people would want to use the technology，or whether people really needed it in their lives or not.可知作者认为很多的预测之所以不能实现是因为它们不考虑人们在生活中是否真的需要这种科技，故A项是作者不赞成的。
3．The underlined word “weird” in Para. 5 probably means ________.
A. wonderful B. stupid
C. practical D. strange
答案与解析：D 词义猜测题。根据上文知道机器人太昂贵、太笨拙，所以机器人帮人们洗衣做饭的想法现在看来仍是不可思议的事情，故选D项。
4．What does the author think of the flying car?
A. It is too difficult to imagine.
B. It is too crazy an idea.
C. It is likely to be made.
D. It is often reported in the news.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的It's not so crazy any more！可知会飞的汽车的想法有可能会实现。故选C项。www-2-1-cnjy-com

(原创)Thirty-two of the world's best football teams competed for the golden World Cup trophy—but the planet's most populous(人口众多的) nation is not among them.
Team China failed to qualify for the “beautiful game's” showpiece event in Brazil. In fact China's World Cup dream turned into a nightmare as early as 2011 ，when it was removed in a regional qualifying round. China reached the finals only once back in 2002. But their debut (首秀) turned out to be an embarrassing result: they were knocked out after the group stage without scoring a single goal.
Still，these setbacks did not get rid of the football fever here.
Chinese football fans enjoyed the action in Brazil despite matches taking place after midnight，Beijing time.
By all means, local fans found ways to stay up late for the games. Some took paid leave, and others found excuses to stay home，such as getting doctors to sign sick-leave certificates. A man asked to take the day off to attend a teacher-parent conference.
Some managers said workplace productivity dropped during the World Cup. However, enthusiasm for the game brought commercial benefit. The World Cup advertising revenue (收入) for Leshi，one of China's largest video websites was estimated to reach RMB100 million yuan ($16 million), said its top executive Qiang Wei.
This summer alone CCTV, the state television network, could get in as much as RMB1.5 billion yuan ($ 240 million) in advertising revenue— 50% more than their earnings from the 2010 World Cup.
During the month-long competition held in Brazil, Chinese sports fans gathered for viewing parties in their living rooms, in factories and school dormitories, and in restaurants and bars, many of which opened late for the fans to watch matches live on television.
5．How many times have China been qualified for the World Cup?
A. Once. B. Twice.
C. Three times. D. Zero.
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第二段的China reached the finals only once back in 2002.可知，中国队唯一一次踢进世界杯是在2002年。故选A。
6．According to Paragraph 5, we can infer Chinese football fans ________.
A. make up all kinds of ways to improve China's football
B. make up all kinds of ways to stay up to watch the World Cup
C. have no choice but to improve China's football
D. have no choice but to stay up to watch the World Cup21教育名师原创作品
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第五段的内容可知，中国球迷千方百计地为熬夜看球寻找途径。故选B。
7. Why did workplace productivity drop during the World Cup?
A. Because many people didn't concentrate on their work.
B. Because the management was not perfect.
C. Because some Chinese football fans were on strike.21世纪教育网版权所有
D. Because the financial crisis continued.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据上下文可知，在世界杯期间很多球迷晚上熬夜看世界杯他们不能集中注意力工作，所以工作效率下降。故选A。【版权所有：21教育】
8．What made Leshi and CCTV bring in a lot in the World Cup?
A. The fund from the government.
B. The sale of tickets.
C. The advertisements.
D. The investment from football fans.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第六、七段的内容可知。广告使它们收入很多。
9．What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Team China failed to take part in the 2014 World Cup.
B. All kinds of Chinese football fans.
C. The 2014 World Cup held in Brazil.
D. The football fever of Chinese football fans.
答案与解析：D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲了中国足球迷对2014巴西世界杯的狂热。故选D。

答案与解析：
1．A 词语辨析题。结合句意分析句子结构可知空格后的句子“that she had never...been punished ________ a driving offence.”是她为之骄傲的具体内容，即与要填入的名词为同位关系，故用fact(事实)。action行动；skill技能；age年龄，都不能与that从句形成同位语。21世纪教育网版权所有
2．D 习语搭配题。根据句意“她很自豪35年来从来没有因为违反交通法规而受到惩罚。”，punish sb.for sth.由于某事而惩罚某人。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
3．D 逻辑推理题。结合上文知道她始终保持着35年来没违规的纪录，但下文说到她闯了红灯，因此说那天她差点丢了这个纪录。lose丢掉，符合句意。keep a record保持纪录。www-2-1-cnjy-com
4．C 背景常识题。警车跟在她后面，用followed，而watched不妥，因为主语是警车，而不是人。chase追赶，根据上下文可知动作发生在警察发现她闯红灯之前，警车在此之前没有理由追赶她或阻拦(stog)她。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
5．A 逻辑推理题。根据下文的without stopping可知她pass a red light(闯红灯)，如用go，则要用go by。【出处：21教育名师】
6．C 习语搭配题。此处缺少表语形容词，因为主语为it，相当于it is certain that句式，故用certain，不用sure，able，因为sure，able常以人作主语；like一般不用于这一句式。21教育名师原创作品
7．B 词汇复现题。根据下文第三段的内容可知对她的行为及年龄做出评论的是the judge，故选B项。21*cnjy*com
8．C 习语搭配题。根据句意“她年纪太大了不能再开车了”可知这里是too...to...结构，表示“太……而不能……”。
9．B 词语辨析题。reason是说明某事或某现象的理由，而cause则指火灾、水灾或事故的起因。此处在考查固定句式：the reason why...is that...……的原因是……。
10．A 词汇复现题。根据上文可知她没有在红灯时停下来。“红灯”用red light。
11．A 逻辑推理题。根据句意“由于年龄老了，她的视力不行了。”可知选表示原因的介词，解释引起前面形容词weak的原因要用介词with，此处相当于because of。
12．B 逻辑推理题。在宾语从句中what很显然作的是动词的宾语，可排除speak，因为讲某种语言时它才是及物动词；强调说话的内容用say。
13．C 词语辨析题。根据句意可知她拿出了随身携带的手提包。表示随身携带，不强调方向性，用carry，而bring则表示由远往近带来。
14．D 词语辨析题。此处是挑了一根小眼的针，用took，brought和picked都要加up或out。
15．C 逻辑推理题。从下文内容来看。老太太显然是成功了。修饰动词用副词。
16．A 词语辨析题。根据句意可知此处指针和线两者，所以用both。
17．B 习语搭配题。it's your turn表示轮到你了。很显然老太太想让警察穿针来证明她眼神很好。
18．D 词汇复现题。根据后面说他要thread it，可知他要把线穿过针眼。刚谈过针线之事。
19．A 逻辑推理题。根据警察和老太太穿针的对比，证明了警察的结论是错误的，所以警察的指控是错误的，故老太太的案子被取消了。be dismissed被取消了。
20．D 逻辑推理题。根据文章内容可知老太太的35年未违规的纪录仍然没被打破。remained“依然是”，表示过去是这样，现在仍然保持这一状态。seemed语气不够肯定；B项若改为was kept才对。21cnjy.com
Ⅳ.阅读理解
What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.
The tree house
Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house”. Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The “root” of the house is deep under the ground so that it can control the home's temperature.
The Lizard(蜥蜴) house
Like a lizard, changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it's in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
Meals at home
This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture (建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.
Learning from the past
Looking to the future isn't the only way to be green. Sometimes, ancient techniques (古老的技术) can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.
1．What is the best title of the passage?
A. Green house of the future.
B. The greener, the better.
C. How to build green houses.
D. Changes of the houses.
答案与解析：A 主旨大意题。本文主要预测了未来环保的房子。故选A。
2．We can heat water, produce electricity or create fresh air for the home ________.21·cn·jy·com
A. with the root of a leaf
B. with the energy from sunlight
C. with the soil under the ground
D. with gardens on its walls
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据The tree house中的内容可知，房子的表面可以吸收阳光，这些太阳能被用来加热水、发电甚至制造新鲜的空气。由此可知选B。
3．The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future ________.
A. will be more delicious
B. need more cooks
C. cost as much as possible
D. will be greener
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据Meals at home这部分的内容可知，家里的菜都是自己种的，所以更绿色环保。故选D。21教育网
4．The last kind of the house is different from others because ________.
A. it looks the same as an old house
B. it makes less use of natural materials
C. it gets the idea from ancient techniques
D. it is easier for hot air to flow out of the house
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的第二句以及上文可知，其他的房子都和过去的技术没有关系，而最后一种房子的设计是以过去的技术为基础的。故选C。

Has been a dream for 30 years but now the world's first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s, designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button(按钮). And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just ￡ 127,000.
The plane, which has fold－out wings that span 17.5 feet, can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land, it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode(模式)．
Fuelling(加燃料) the 19－foot－long plane couldn't be simpler—you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up.【版权所有：21教育】
A spokeswoman said, “You can keep your ‘light－sport airplane’ in your garage. But because it needs a short runway to take to the air, you will have to drive to your local airport, fly up to 460 miles, land and drive directly to your destination(目的地). You will always be ready to drive or fly.”
The spokeswoman added，“Never let bad weather change your trip. You can simply divert(使转向) and continue on the ground until the weather clears.”
There's no risk to you—this is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold(展开) your wings and fly into the future.
1．According to the text, the “roadable” plane ________.
A. can fly in the sky at “highway speeds” in car mode
B. is a kind of car with fold－out wings
C. is a little difficult to fuel
D. can only travel on the highway
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第三的内容可知这种飞机有可折叠的机翼，飞行时可展开机翼；在公路上则是汽车模式。故选B项。21cnjy.com
2．We can infer that in the “Back to the Future” movies ________.
A. there are some skillful pilots
B. pilots have no cars to drive
C. pilots can't afford a “roadable” plane
D. cars can fly in the sky
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。第二段第一句说这类电影点燃了人们的梦想：一按按钮，汽车就能飞到空中。可推知在这类电影中有会飞的汽车，故选D项。
3．What does the underlined word “it” in the 5th paragraph refer to?
A. A light－sport airplane.
B. Your garage.
C. The local airport.
D. A petrol station.
答案与解析：A 词义猜测题。上一句中说到你可以把它放到车库中，由于它需要跑道才能飞到空中，可推知这里的it指的是前文提到的light－sport airplane。
4．The last sentence of the text aims to ________.
A. call for people to buy the “roadable” plane
B. show people the use of the “roadable” plane

At first sight the planet Mars(火星) does not appear very welcoming to any kind of life. It has very little oxygen and water, the temperature at night is below 50 degrees and winds of 100 miles (161 kilometers) per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it at some time in the past, and it is believed that there would be enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melted. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think there may have been some form of life a long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes(火山); the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists.21教育名师原创作品
Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun's heat in the planet's atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide, simple plants could begin to grow. These plants could slowly make the Mars fit to live on. It is judged that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in a special closed environment. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there.

A. winds B. dust

No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket－owner before. Yet, they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show concern to others on need, the world would be a better place to live in.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Think of London and you will probably remember the bright red double－decker buses. Think of Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, and the noisy tuk－tuks may come to mind. Think of San Francisco and you might see the city's cable cars.
Imagining what these cities would look like without those is difficult. They are symbols of these cities that make them different. However, these city symbols are not always so well loved by their city leaders. City leaders want what is best for their city, which often means the most modern transport.
In Bangkok, city leaders have banned (禁止) tuk－tuks because they consider them noisy and polluting. However, the ban has largely been unsuccessful as it has not changed Thai people's love for the cheap tuk－tuks over taxis.
In London the city's first ever mayor (市长) removed the red double－decker buses, which he thought were old fashioned.His plan worked, but Londoners were unhappy to lose the nice old buses they believed represented the best of their city. They made their unhappiness felt when the mayor came up for re－election. Most Londoners voted for his competitor, who promised to bring the bus back.
As for San Francisco, several cable cars are still in use but mainly as tourist attractions. They are too slow to be used for anything other than scenic trips.
City transport symbols may have a place in their city people's hearts, but it seems they are increasingly out of step with the modern world. As Londoners have proved, their continued life depends on people's willingness to fight for their survival.
1．What's the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A. To introduce some city transport symbols.
B. To explain why some cities are popular.
C. To talk about modern transport in some cities.
D. To attract more tourists to visit some cities.

2．The London double－decker bus is returning mainly because ________.
A. the new mayor loves it
B. Londoners fought for it
C. it is an improved transport
D. it is popular with tourists
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第四段最后伦敦的大多数市民都投票选举了答应使用double－decker汽车的竞选人，而不给反对这种汽车的竞选人投票。由文章最后一句话也可得出同样的答案，故选B项。21·cn·jy·com
3．Which proves the old city transport symbols are not loved by city leaders?
A. Only a few cable cars are still in use in San Francisco.
B. Bangkok city leaders tried to remove the cheap tuk－tuks.
C. The mayor who sold double－decker buses lost the re－election.
D. The new mayor will bring back improved double－decker buses.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话可知在曼谷，市长禁止这种车的使用，故B项正确。
4．What can we infer from the passage?
A. Modern cities should remove old city transport symbols.
B. The writer thinks highly of the old city transport symbols.
C. Old city transport symbols face the problem of survival.
D. Tourist cities will lose their attraction without the symbols.
答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话的句意“尽管这些标志性的交通工具在人们心中占有一席之地，但是跟不上现代社会的发展步伐。”可推知这些旧的交通方式面临着生存问题。21cnjy.com

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3 000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest problems.21世纪教育网版权所有
Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color－coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.21教育网
The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long－term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States，” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson，who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.21cnjy.com
1．Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are ________.
A. facing an infrared scanner
B. sprayed with pesticides
C. in poor physical condition
D. exposed to excessive sun rays
答案与解析：C 由文章第二段中“..., an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running ‘fevers’”．可知，植物在发“高烧”，也就是说，“身体状况”不佳时才会散发热。21·cn·jy·com
2．In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to ________.www.21-cn-jy.com
A. estimate the damage to the crops
B. draw a color-coded map
C. measure the size of the affected area
D. locate the problem area
答案与解析：D 本题要求判断使用红外线扫描技术的目的。根据文章第二段中“...showing where plants were running ‘fevers’. Farmers could then spot-spray, ...”可知，目的是确定有问题的区域，以便使农民有针对性地喷杀虫剂。
3．Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by ________.
A. resorting to spot-spraying
B. transforming poisoned rain
C. consulting infrared scanning experts
D. detecting crop problems at an early stage
答案与解析：A 根据文章第二段最后一句“Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.”可知。

答案与解析：C 根据文章第三段第一句“The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find”可知。2-1-c-n-j-y
5．Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of ________.21*cnjy*com
A. full support from agricultural experts
B. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture

1．with 考查介词的用法。have an argument with“与……争吵”。
2．a/per 考查冠词或介词的用法。此外a/per表示频率，意为“每一”。
3．reasonable 考查词性转换。sound为系动词，其后接形容词作表语，reason的形容词形成为reasonable。【出处：21教育名师】

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Body language is the quietest, secretest and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying...
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously.However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you're not pleased.
Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.21世纪教育网版权所有

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.www.21-cn-jy.com
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive(不坦率的) person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn (顽固的), but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.21教育名师原创作品
If you sleep curled up (卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person, You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.

1．C 逻辑推理题。又是地区运动会了，可作者的脚由于上一次的(earlier)受伤仍然还没有痊愈。注意本句中的过去完成时态及still的意义有着明显的提示意义。slighter更轻微的；worse更糟的；earlier更早的，上一次的；heavier更沉重的，巨大的。
2．D 逻辑推理题。根据上句可知，作者不是认为(supposed)，设想(imagined)，希望(expected)参加运动会，而是怀疑(doubted)自己是否应该参加运动会。

4．B 前后照应题。其他的女孩子不是落到了后面(from behind)，靠近(close to, next to)作者，而是冲到了作者的前面(ahead of)。后文as I fell farther and farther behind有所暗示。21世纪教育网版权所有

10．C 逻辑推理题。作者在想这一次已经没有办法了，明年就不参加赛跑了。文中一再谈到race和track。

13．B 逻辑推理题。作者转身看到男孩子正准备开始比赛，确信(sure)大家是为男孩子欢呼。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A job is more than a job, especially to the old. “It's not the money that matters, but the sense of self－worth，” 56－year－old Cheng Wanlan said. So, every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents and does her rounds in North Point. She's a courier(快递员)．
Five years ago, Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for 30 years but was jobless when the doctor migrated. It was difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am，” she said. After two years of searching, she eventually found another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why?
“My colleagues were young and they didn't understand me because of my age. They often asked me, ‘You are so old. What are you working for？’ I was very unhappy，” she said. So while the rest of her family left for work, she was left to lonely boredom at home. Then her neighbours told her about Employee's Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people. These courses are specifically designed to encourage the older people back to work.
“I was interested in courier work. I didn't think my age was a barrier because I was fit，” she said. Upon graduating, Mrs Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company. But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict: she was caught between honour and employment. “I felt embarrassed about carrying and delivering letters and parcels，” she said. It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind: there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job. So she went off to work as a courier.
Ms Cheng's employer is delighted with her responsible attitude and said, “I hired older people because they were able and reliable. Age is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will. ”
1．Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing job?
A. Nursing clinics were hard to find.
B. She found it difficult to trust others.
C. People thought she was too old to work.
D. People didn't think she had enough work experience.2-1-c-n-j-y

2．Ms Cheng left her second nursing job because________.
A. she was bored with changing jobs
B. it was too difficult
C. she was too old to do the job
D. the other staff made her feel uncomfortable

3．According to Ms Cheng's employer, young people ________.
A. are more likely to give up than the older ones
B. are less experienced than the older ones
C. are stronger than the older ones
D. are able and reliable
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Many old people will not run from difficulties but the young ones will.”可以得出答案。故选A。
4．From the text, we can infer that ________.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for almost four hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows that said，“NEED A JACK(千斤顶)．”【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Right as I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He sized up (对……做出判断) the situation and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife produced a large water jug for us to wash our hands in.21cnjy.com
I tried to put $20 in the man's hand, but he wouldn't take it, so instead I went up and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I thanked them up one side and down the other. I asked the little girl, their daughter, where they lived, thinking maybe I'd send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches, and then go back home.www-2-1-cnjy-com
After I said my goodbyes and started walking back to the Jeep, the girl called out and asked if I'd had lunch. When I told her no, she ran up and handed me a tamale (玉米粽子). I thanked them again and walked back to my car. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20 bill! I ran to the truck and the guy rolled down his window. He saw the $20 in my hand, started shaking his head smiling, and with what looked like great concentration said in English：“Today you, tomorrow me.” Then he rolled up his window and drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.
This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Since then I've helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn't accept money. But every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.
1．From the passage we know that ________.
A. the Mexican man couldn't speak English
B. the author's car broke down on the road
C. the Mexican family came to Oregon for a visit
D. $ 20 was a small amount for the Mexican family
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。从第一段作者出示牌子需要千斤顶，到下文墨西哥人一家对他的帮助可以看出，作者的车是抛锚了。
2．Why did the author give the money quietly to the man's wife?
A. Because the man had refused to accept it.
B. Because the man's wife needn't wash her hands.
C. Because the author thought the Mexican family was poor.
D. Because the author thought the man's wife would take it.
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。从文章第三段第一句I tried to put $20 in the man's hand, but he wouldn't take it, so instead I went up and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could.可知，那个司机是不愿意接受作者给的钱的。
3．Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A. He hated those who didn't offer help.
B. He would send a present to the family soon.
C. He wondered why they didn't take the money.
D. He considered helping others as saving money in the bank.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。从最后一段Since then I've helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn't accept money. But every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.可以看出答案选D。
4．What can we infer from the passage?
A. The Mexican family lived a richer life than the author.
B. The Mexican family did seasonal work in Oregon each year.
C. The author was inspired to help others by the Mexican family.
D. What made the writer moved was the tamale given by the girl.

Few of us haven't read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默无闻) or neglect.
Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.21教育网
Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.21cnjy.com
Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey's paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked (邪恶的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.21·cn·jy·com
The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.
“The movie takes the fairy tale Cinderella as its jumping off point，” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “The focus is firmly on following your dream. ”
1．The first paragraph is mainly to ________.
A. build interest and lead us to Mary's secret dreamwww.21-cn-jy.com

About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!【版权所有：21教育】
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”， but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color. 2-1-c-n-j-y
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
5．The passage is mainly about ________.
A. color and its surprising effects
B. women being luckier than men
C. danger caused by color blindness
D. color blindness
答案与解析：D 主旨大意题。本文第一段讲述了男女色盲的比例，第二段主要讲了色盲的形式，第三段主要讲了关于色盲很难解释的一些事情。故选D。
6．Which of the following statements about the color－blind is TRUE?
A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.
B. None of them can see deep red.
C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.
D. All of them see everything in shades of green.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据第二段可知人与人之间有不同形式的色盲。
7．According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”， we can ________.
A. tell different shapes
B. see in a weak light
C. kill mosquitoes
D. tell orange from yellow
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colors.”可知“cones”可帮助我们分辨颜色，故选D。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
8．We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ________.
A. red light B. yellow light
C. blue light D. green light

One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.21*cnjy*com
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.【出处：21教育名师】
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.【版权所有：21教育】

He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.21教育名师原创作品
In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University, where he studied physics, and that only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neuron(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.21·cn·jy·com
Professor Hawking said, “My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she was definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptional at school and was never further than halfway up his class. “My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers，” he said. “But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of something better.”
But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized(刺激) him into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that resulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said, “When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”
1．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Stephen Hawking is the second Einstein in the world.21教育网
B. Stephen Hawking couldn't read at the age of 7.
C. Stephen Hawking's handwriting was once terribly bad.
D. Stephen Hawking's sister once performed much better than him.
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of something better.”可知绰号“爱因斯坦”是同学给起的，但并不意味着他就是第二个爱因斯坦。故A不符合题意。
2．We can infer that Stephen Hawking was ________ when he was a child and studied in Oxford University.
A. clever B. lazy
C. bright D. mean
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第一段特别是“But outstanding astrophysicist Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.”和第二段开头霍金自己承认的话中可知，他小时候和在大学里是非常懒惰的。
3．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Stephen Hawking didn't realize his dreams in physics.
B. It was possible for Hawking to face the early death.
C. The purpose of the doctor's diagnosis was to encourage him to work hard.
D. His life might be taken away by long hard work.
答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。根据最后一段特别是信息句He said, “When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”可知他有可能要面对英年早逝的不幸事实，故选B项。【版权所有：21教育】
4．From whom did Hawking get a relatively just respect when he was at school?
A. His sister. B. His classmates.
C. His teachers. D. His parents.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后霍金的话可知，尽管老师不看好他，同学们仍给他“爱因斯坦”的绰号，他们从他身上看到好的一面。

You may be fascinated with pictures of animals in the wild. You might have imagined yourself taking pictures of animals that are rarely seen in the city. If you do get that chance, you may want to consider the following tips or rules.
First of all, a lot of professional photographers give respect to these animals and the environment they are in. Just remember that you should respect the animals and the environment in case these animals bite or hurt you.2·1·c·n·j·y
Keep in mind that you are taking pictures of real，live, wild animals. A wild animal may bite to protect itself. You must be sensitive while taking their pictures and be gentle in all your movements. Do not feed the animals, or interact with animals that are sleeping or caring for their young.【出处：21教育名师】
If you are going to a place where it is privately(私人) owned, you'd better get the owner's permission first before you start taking pictures.
Change the flash of your camera to natural light, so the animals will not be frightened or surprised when you start shooting. Animals do not react well when they are surprised.
Be very patient. Make sure you are aware of the changes in behavior of the animal and its moods. Be familiar with the animals' natural habitat.
Now if those rules are clear, it is time for planning. Consider the weather; some animals do not go out when it is raining while some animals love the rain. Therefore, a little research on the weather will not hurt. You should consider taking pictures after sunrise and before sunset. Now if the animal is nocturnal(夜间活动的), then you should prepare to battle not only the wild but also the darkness.
An adventure in the wild will make you very excited. However, you should be well equipped，have experts to back you up, and also a permit for doing the photo shoot. If you do not have any of these, then maybe you should consider visiting the zoo instead.21cnjy.com
5．The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is ________.
A. to call for us to protect animals

D. take pictures when the owner is feeding animals2-1-c-n-j-y
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段you'd better get the owner's permission first before you start taking pictures可知选B。

答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段Make sure you are aware of the changes in behavior of the animal and its moods.可知答案。21*cnjy*com

②Asking experts for advice.
③Knowing the weather in the animals' habitat.
④Getting a permission for taking pictures of wild animals.
A. ①②④ B. ②③④
C. ①②③ D. ①③④
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段及最后两段可知去给野生动物拍照前最好预先得到拍照许可，考虑到那里的天气情况，得到专家的支持；而文中第三段说到Do not feed the animals，可知不允许私自喂野生动物，所以也没必要为其准备食物。

I was going to die in Antarctica, I was certain. An image of my frost－covered body, colorless and lifeless, filled my mind as I glanced around. In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the only feature on the landscape was the division between snow and sky. I gazed sadly at my team. They were rapidly disappearing from my sight.【出处：21教育名师】
It happened in the year 2009 when I was head of an adventure(探险) attempting to reach the South Pole. The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent, before we set off. Our aim was to be the most international all－female team to reach the South Pole.
As I watched, the rest of the teammates marched on, unaware that I was not with them. By the time I realized that my sledge(雪橇) was firmly trapped, the team were already a long way ahead of me. I called out to Era, my teammate, “Era! Stop！”
Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind. Seconds passed. Nothing. I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the low temperatures of Antarctica.
My strength increased when I thought of a cold, lonely death. I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little. I removed the ice with my ski－pole and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free. The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance. I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.
I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing. She swung around on her skis, in shock and spotted me in the near distance.
As we continued，my panic slowly faded. For the rest of the day, each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes. They were not going to risk losing me again.

A. disliked her team B. got seriously ill

I'm not a soccer fan, not even a person who knows much about soccer. But like a majority of the world's population, I've planned part of this summer around one event in particular: the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.www.21-cn-jy.com
From June 12 to July 13, the soccer world championship is probably the planet's most popular sporting event. And the World Cup has long enjoyed a high level of popularity in China, despite the country's low competitiveness in the sport.
So, why is the World Cup such a big deal to a layman like me and billions of others?21·世纪*教育网
Many are in it for the spectacle. For some, it's the coming together of people from all over the globe. And for others, it's a rooted way of life in their country.
Let's start with star power. The biggest event in soccer certainly attracts many of the sport's biggest names and sees them fighting to lead their country to glory. Ever heard of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo? In the World Cup games，you get to see players as good as them giving their best performances. But despite being the world's two best soccer players, neither has won a World Cup. The beauty of soccer is that having one superstar guarantees you nothing. Both rely heavily on their 10 teammates to get good results.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Yes, soccer games can be boring. But in the total of 64 games during the World Cup, the odds of on－field drama are much higher. One－sided victories, last－minute turnarounds, penalty shootouts—history always repeats itself by offering exciting matches.
If star power and drama can't convince you to pay more attention to the tournament, you'll certainly enjoy the parties.
Around the world, hundreds of thousands will pack public spaces for viewing parties complete with food, beer and other activities. If you're more into the pub scene, many bars will be packed shoulder－to－shoulder with supporters. There, very likely, hugs will be shared between strangers and rounds will be bought for entire floors.
In short, there really is something for everyone in the World Cup. It's one of the few events in the world that truly unites us all, and it only takes place every four years. Trust me when I say that's a long time to wait if you miss the boat this time around.
5．How long does the 2014 World Cup last?
A. 12 days. B. 13 days.
C. 25 days. D. 31 days.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第二段中From June 12 to July 13可知2014年世界杯约持续31天。
6．Which is probably NOT true according to the passage?
A. The spectacle of the World Cup is very popular.
B. Chinese enjoy the World Cup most.
C. The World Cup can get the world people truly united.
D. The World Cup is one of the few events in the world.
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。第二段第二句说明中国人非常喜欢世界杯足球赛，但并不是说中国人最喜欢世界杯足球赛。故B项错。
7．How often does the World Cup usually take place?
A. Every four years. B. Every year.
C. Every two years. D. Every ten years.
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知世界杯是每4年举办一次。
8．Why does the writer take Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as examples?
A. They are the sport's biggest names.
B. They are the world's two best soccer players.
C. To explain why the World Cup is one of the biggest sports events in the world.
D. To explain why the World Cup attracts so many people.

Swapping Houses for Vacations
When budgeting for a vacation, usually the most expensive part of the trip is the accommodations. The traditional way to take a vacation is to pack some bags, lock up the house, and travel to a new place to stay in a hotel. However, hotels are very expensive, and with rent or housing loan(贷款) due every month, it's difficult for most people to pay for yet another place to stay. __1__ Luckily, there is a substitute called house swapping, and it's saving tourists a great deal of cash.
__2__ For example, if a couple from New York want to spend a week in Paris, they would place an ad offering to trade their New York apartment for one in Paris for a week. If a Parisian couple that want a vacation in New York read the advertisement, houses can be swapped, and both couples save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars by avoiding big－city hotel fees. If all goes well, both couples can post positive reviews of the other's home online so that potential travelers can see that everything was fine. __3__ This builds a community of people who want to help each other out.21*cnjy*com
There are other advantages of swapping houses as well. __4__ Staying at someone's home puts you in a neighborhood that can give you a better representation of the life and culture in the place you're visiting. __5__ The next time you want to spend your vacation in a new place, but don't want to pay a fortune, check what's posted online and find a house to swap.2·1·c·n·j·y
A. House swapping is most common in New York and Paris.21教育名师原创作品
B. Hotels are often quite difficult to book when you want to explore a new home.
C. A lot of times, this extra cost prevents travelers from going very far from home.2-1-c-n-j-y
D. To swap houses, people check the Internet for others planning to travel and trade homes.
E. With many house swapping sites growing, this new phenomenon is becoming easier than ever.
F. Hotels are often located where few people live，making them a strange place to experience a city.
G. On the other hand, if there were trouble, people could write about that to warn others not to trust the swappers.21世纪教育网版权所有

答案与解析：
1．B 逻辑推理题。根据本段第一句：“我过去是一个非常自私的人，但在过去的两年里我真的变了。”此空处体现出的正是变化后的结果，那就是先考虑别人，再考虑自己。所以选before在……之前。since自从；or或者；unless除非。21cnjy.com
2．C 逻辑推理题。根据in the past two years I have really changed可知作者现在正成为一个完全不同于过去的人。2-1-c-n-j-y
3．D 词汇复现题。此处change正好对应着前面I have really changed。education教育；career职业，生涯；tour旅行。21*cnjy*com
4．C 词语辨析题。结合前面when I was at Palomar College可知作者起初的目标应是获得学位(degree)。balance平衡；homework作业；interest兴趣。
5．A 逻辑推理题。作者认为自己比班里任何人都聪明，所以从不和他们交谈(talk)。而write写信；lie说谎；report报告，均不符合语境。【出处：21教育名师】
6．B 逻辑推理题。通过此空后面的It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun.可知，直到这学期结束时，作者很孤单(lonely)。careful仔细的；curious好奇的；guilty有罪的。
7．C 词语辨析题。面对现状，作者尝试了一个实验(experiment)。argument争论，辩论；game游戏；defence保卫，防御。只有C项符合语境。
8．B 逻辑推理题。作者开始问周围的人他们在做什么，他们是否有一些作者可以帮助解决的麻烦事。这里选offer(乐意，主动提议)主要是结合作者现在要改变，以前不关心别人，现在从关心周围的人和事开始一句得出。而C项hesitate to do犹豫做；D项happen to do恰巧做，不符合实际语境。
9．D 词语辨析题。这对于作者来说是一个很大的进步(step)，因为下面说到年末，她已经交了一些朋友。A项dream梦想；B项problem问题；C项duty职责，责任。
10．C 逻辑推理题。作者交了一些新朋友，并且其中有两个现在还是她最好的朋友。通过后面的and这个并列连词，可判断只能选them，容易误选whom，如果没有and，可以看成是定语从句。
11．A 词汇复现题。作者之所以会有一个新的生活态度的另一个原因是她在护理之家从事兼职工作的时候出现的。此处的attitude呼应第一段中的change。
12．A 词语辨析题。结合下一句生病的老太太把作者当成她的女儿，可知作者把老太太看成是她的朋友(friend)。partner伙伴；guide向导；guest客人。
13．B 逻辑推理题。老太太把作者当成了她的女儿，所以见到她非常高兴(happy)。polite礼貌的；strange奇怪的；confident有信心的。
14．C 逻辑推理题。老太太的女儿从来不来看她，作者就代替了她的女儿。bother打扰；answer回答；trust信任。
15．D 逻辑推理题。这个老太太使作者明白(see)了使别人感到愉悦也能使自己感到愉悦。A项explain解释；B项guess猜测；C项declare宣布。
16. B 逻辑推理题。当老太太去世时作者非常难过，心碎(heartbroken)。A项homeless无家可归的；C项bad-tempered坏脾气的；D项hopeless无望的。
17．C 逻辑推理题。作者认为自己现在要比过去更好，可以结合第一段她以前自私而现在不自私来找答案的依据。www-2-1-cnjy-com
18．A 词语辨析题。作者希望自己不会忘记这些经历。B项face面对；C项improve提高，改进；D项analyze分析。21·世纪*教育网
19．D 词语辨析题。这些经历教会(taught)作者要关心别人多于自己。force强迫；prefer宁愿；order命令。
20．B 词语辨析题。作者喜欢(like)现在的自己，而多年前不敢那样说。而A项miss相信；C项wonder想知道；D项expect期望，均不符合语境，所以选B。

答案与解析：
1．a 在感叹句中因为place为可数名词单数，故在what后跟不定冠词a。
2．for for表示“为了”。
3．it 固定句型“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”表示“做某事花费某人时间”，在句型中it为形式主语，动词不定式短语为真正的主语。
4．is supposed be supposed to意为“应该”。
5．Sounds 本句省略了主语“It/That”，且系动词sound应用一般现在式，故用第三人称单数形式。
6．since since引导原因状语从句，表示大家都知道的原因，符合句意。
7．to begin would like to do sth. “想要做某事”。
8．should should表示应该。
9．that 谓语动词see后跟宾语从句，因为从句中结构完整，引导词不在从句中作句子成分，故用that引导。
10．enjoyable 修饰名词dinner应用形容词enjoyable“愉快的”。

A school master of Thurso in Caithness, William Munro, wrote in a report in THE TIMES on September 8, 1809 that twelve years earlier he had been walking along Sandside Bay shore when he saw what he first thought was a naked woman, sitting on a rock and combing her light brown hair. The face was fatty round, with reddish cheeks and blue eyes. If the rock where the woman sat had not been so dangerous for swimmers, Munro would have thought it was human. After a few minutes it dropped into the sea and swam away. Others had seen it too.21教育网
The island of Benbecula in the outer Hebrides, about 1830, women cutting seaweed reported they had met a creature of female form playing happily off the shore. A few days later her dead body was found two miles from where she had first been seen. The description of the creature was recorded thus, “the upper part of the creature was about the size of a well－fed child of three or four years of age, with an extraordinarily developed breast. The hair was long, dark and glossy(有光泽), while the skin was white, soft and tender. The lower part of the body was like a salmon(鲑鱼)．”【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

Unlike modern animal scientists, dinosaur scientists cannot sit on a hillside and use telescopes to watch dinosaurs in order to know how they lived and whether they were good parents. Instead, they have to search hard for information from dinosaurs' fossils(恐龙化石) because dinosaurs died out millions of years ago.
It's very difficult for the scientists to reach an agreement because different results can be got from the same fossils. Many fossils of the same kind of dinosaurs have been dug out from one place. They might have formed when an entire group of dinosaurs got stuck(陷入) all at once, or they might have been the result of dinosaurs getting stuck one after another over a course of a few centuries. Thus we can say that dinosaurs might have in the first case lived in big groups and in the second lived alone.2·1·c·n·j·y
Though there are two different results, dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds of dinosaurs lived in big groups. “That's pretty much settled at this point.” says Paul Sereno. A kind of dinosaurs called Sauropods left behind tracks in the western United States that appear to run north and south, suggesting that they even moved long distances together.21*cnjy*com
As to whether dinosaurs cared for their young, dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living relatives of dinosaurs—birds and crocodiles—for possible models. Birds give a lot of care to their young, while crocodiles just help their young to the water. The discovered fossils of dinosaurs sitting on their eggs and staying with their young suggest the parents were taking care of their babies, but we still cannot say that all dinosaurs did the same.
There is still a long way to go before the above questions could be answered. Dinosaur scientists will have to find more proof to reach an agreement.
5．Dinosaur scientists can get information directly by ________.
A. studying dinosaur fossils
B. examining modern animals
C. watching dinosaurs
D. using telescopes
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“they have to search hard for information from dinosaurs' fossils”可知研究恐龙的科学家通过研究恐龙化石来得到一些信息，故A项正确。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
6．What is pretty much settled according to Paul Sereno?
A. Half of the dinosaurs lived alone.
B. Most dinosaurs moved long distances.
C. Many dinosaurs settled in the north.
D. Some dinosaurs lived in big groups.
答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第三段“dinosaur scientists now generally agree that at least some kinds of dinosaurs lived in big groups.”可知Paul Sereno说科学家们都认为至少某些种类的恐龙群居，故D项正确。21·世纪*教育网
7．Dinosaur scientists can probably know whether dinosaurs were good parents by ________.www-2-1-cnjy-com
A. watching many kinds of animals
B. studying dinosaurs' living relatives
C. following the tracks left behind
D. working on dug－out dinosaur eggs
答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第四段“dinosaur scientists have turned to the closest living relatives of dinosaurs—birds and crocodiles—for possible models.”可知科学家们通过研究现存的恐龙的近亲——鸟类和鳄鱼来判断恐龙是否能照看好他们的幼崽。21世纪教育网版权所有
8．Which of the following is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph?
A. Birds hardly pay attention to their young.
B. Baby crocodiles can look after themselves well.
C. Some dinosaurs took care of their young.
D. Birds and crocodiles take good care of their young.21*cnjy*com
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据第四段中可知鸟类很好地照顾幼鸟，而鳄鱼只是帮助幼崽进入水里，并没有很好地照顾幼崽。化石表明一些恐龙照顾幼崽，但并不能说所有的恐龙都是如此，因此C项符合题意。

1．A 根据文章倒数第三段可知“海盗一号”宇宙飞船由orbiter和lander两部分组成，到了火星上空两部分分离。21cnjy.com
2．C 根据常识判断宇宙飞船应该在飞行时是很快的，在遇到阻力时才会减速，这也与后面飞行减缓后的“slowly”相对应。21·cn·jy·com
3．D thin可以修饰air和atmosphere，但是只有atmosphere符合语境，火星的大气减慢它的飞行，而且与后文也一致。2·1·c·n·j·y

6．A “海盗一号”是无人载飞船，所以只能通过电脑发送信息说其在工作。

10．C 在屏幕上show“显示”发送回来的图片，其他三项意思不符。
11．A 火星上的土壤是红色的，所以后面第二句提到红色的火星表面。
12．B 这些照片是在火星上拍摄的，所以是close look“近看”，real不修饰look。
13．B 根据常识可知，火星上没有生命的迹象，更没有树和人。
14．A 宇宙飞船有两部分，由下一句话可得知答案。
15．D circle around Mars环绕火星飞行。
16．B examine指“检验”。enter“进入”，collect“收集”，discover“发现”都不合适。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

How to babysit
Babysitting a child requires some training, patience and understanding of how to calm a baby when he cries. Here are some tips that may help you：
Prepare for the job. Check your calendar to make sure you are available when asked to babysit. __1__ Find out what time you will be needed, night or day, and again check to make sure you can help. If not, you can ask the person whether you can babysit another time, or babysit another child.21教育名师原创作品
Write down the following information: the cellphone number, the address and the phone number of the place where they will be, the child's name and blood type, the doctor's name and phone number. __2__ You have to know these because you never know what will happen. You technically need most of the baby's medical records. Also ask where the first－aid kit is kept.
__3__ The phone numbers of the police, the ambulance and the fire department are very important, and should be written clearly on the refrigerator. If they give you a grandparent's phone number, that's also good, because the parents might be at a shopping mall and may not be able to hear their cellphones.
__4__ It is better if the parents write them down because you could make a mistake when writing. This is another very important thing to do. Find out where all the things, such as baby' s bottles or spare clothes are kept.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
__5__ Keep the baby in the place where you're watching, and you can make sure he is safe. If the child you are watching is older, keep him limited to the house, or if you're outside, to the backyard. Smaller children should stay where you can see them at all times. All children should be kept as far away from a street as possible.
A. Never leave the baby out of your sight!
B. These are very important in an emergency.
C. Stay calm in case an accident should happen.
D. Never answer the door unless you know who the visitor is.
E. Make sure you get all the emergency phone numbers needed.
F. Make sure the parents give you instructions on how to care for a baby.
G. This will help avoid the frustration of a change of plans at the last minute.
答案与解析：
本文针对如何当临时保姆照看小孩提出了一些建议。
1．G 做好准备工作。你首先要查看日历，弄清楚哪一天可以去照看婴儿。避免在最后时刻，因改变计划而造成困扰。
2．B 承接上下文。前面列出了一系列需要记下的信息。并且由下一句“你不得不知道这些信息，因为你不可能知道将会发生什么”可知，此处需要一个承接上下文的句子，B项符合语境。
3．E 段落标题。根据下文可知，段落标题应为E，意为：确保你知道你需要的所有的应急电话号码。
4．F 段落标题。该空后面一句的意思为：如果父母能够写下来更好，因为你自己写的话，可能会写错。因此段落标题应为F：确保家长给你写下如何照看孩子的指示。
5．A 段落标题。根据本段内容可知。作者的建议是：确保孩子在你的视线之内，这样可以保证孩子的安全。因此段落标题是A：不要让孩子离开你的视线。

Dear Diary，
Here I am in the middle of a city, 350 miles far away from our farmhouse. Do you want to know why we move last week?
