II. Your house of life 你生活的大屋
Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as (虽然) it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped (淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry. (注：此if从句是虚拟语气，注意if从句的谓语understood和主句谓语would make的形式变化)
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.
III. A story of Mark Twain
(2018 福建厦门翔安一中期中)
Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humor. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”
After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr. Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.
Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.
But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why? That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.

(2018北京东城期末)
THE BRONTE FAMILY 勃朗特一家
Yorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels of the 19th century. One of them is Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte. The Bronte family had three girls and a boy. Charlotte was born in 1816, Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. The children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes. The girls were determined to earn money for Branwell's art education.
As children, the girls had all written many stories. Charlotte alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty, Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book. ( It was not published until 1859. ) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1849.
Charlotte published Shirley in 1849, and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.
写作运用
写作指导：
应用文——书信
英文书信一般分为商业信函(Business Letters)和私人书信(Personal Letters)两种，而高考书面表达一般都是要求写私人书信。它包括五部分，即信头、称呼、正文、结束语和签名，具体如下：
1．信头：寄信人的地址和写信日期，写在信的右上角。注意英语中地名的写法与中文不同，要从小到大；日期的写法也与中文不同，不是写在签名之下，而是写在寄信人的地址之下。习惯上人们采用美式英语表达，即月、日、年，月，日与年之间用逗号隔开，月份尽量不要缩写，如June 8,2009；而英式英语表达则为日、月、年，中间不用逗号隔开，如8 June 2009。
2．称呼：自成一行，顶格写。称呼语常用：Dear Sir/Madam/Manager/Editor/friends/Bob，称呼之后一般用逗号。
3．正文：信件的主体部分即为信的正文。正文写在称呼的下一行，与Dear后第一个单词对齐。正文通常包括三部分，即开头、目的和结尾。正文的开头语常用：Thank you for your last letter asking about...；I’m glad to...。正文的结尾语是正文的一部分，常常另起一行，常用的结尾语有：I’m looking forward to your reply；Thanks and all the best；Best wishes；Wishing you a pleasant journey.
4．结束语：结束语与正文的结尾语不一样，它要写在结尾语的下一行，位于书信的右下角，后面用逗号。常用的结束语有：Yours sincerely/faithfully/truly；Sincerely/Truly yours；Yours等。
5．签名：签名写在结束语的下一行，与结束语对齐，也就是签上写信人的名字。
一封正规的私人书信格式如下：
写作典例：
假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Bob将于九月到你所在城市的建新华文学校学中文，来信请你在学校附近为他找一套住房。请根据图画提供的信息，写信介绍住房的情况，并告知住房面积为25平方米，月租500元。
注意：1.词数：100左右；
2．参考词汇：房租rent (n.)。
案例分析⊙
这是一篇看图作文，要求以书信的形式介绍写作内容，题目中没有开头和结尾，因而需要考生自己写出一篇完整的书信。写作要点如下：
1．回顾对方上次来信所提之事；
2．租房的内部结构：卧室及其设备、浴室、厨房；
3．面积、房租；
4．租房所处地理位置：靠近芳草街，下一站为建新华文学校，乘11路公共汽车可到达；
5．书信的基本格式。

One ofthe traditions which is now a necessary part of Christmas is that of Father Christmas，or Santa Claus．According to the modern legend，he is a magical figure who visits all the children of the world during the night before Christmas Day，leaving presents which they find the next morning．He flies through the night sky in a sledge pulled by reindeer，and enters houses by climbing down chimneys．This strange legend is based on the life of a man called Nicholas，but in fact we know very little about him．Historians think he was a Christian bishop(主教) in Turkey in about 285-350．One of the stories about him is that he helped three poor girls．No one would marry them because they were so poor．To provide them with money for their weddings，Nicholas secretly dropped some gold coins down the chimneys of their houses．After Nicholas died，he was made a saint(圣人) by the church．(The name Santa Claus thus comes from St Nicholas．) His feast day was celebrated in December，and parents started giving their children secret presents from St Nicholas．Over the years，this custom became part of our Christmas traditions．
Recently，a psychologist has claimed that Father Christmas is “the perfect fantasy” for children．According to Professor Anthony Clare，children love the character of Father Christmas because he is like an ideal father：he loves children and gives them presents，but he never criticizes them，or becomes angry，and children do not even need to thank him for the presents．Other writers，however，point out that Father Christmas can be a frightening character to some children．Jane Bidder says that some children are terrified of this fat，bearded old man．It can certainly confuse many children．As parents，we warn our children to be careful of strangers and never let them onto the house，and yet we tell children that a strange man will come into their bedroom at night! Some children can become very worried about this idea and fear that he is a kind of burglar．
Most children，however，understand from their parents and from the media that Father Christmas is basically a benign character，and look forward to his annual visit with joy and excitement．
36．The main point of the first paragraph is that ________．
A．Father Christmas is an important part of Christmas
B．the tradition of Father Christmas is a modem idea
C．Father Christmas is a magical figure who can fly
D．the legend about Father Christmas are not true
37．The writer mentions details such as Father Christmas’s sledge，the reindeer and the way he climbs down chimneys because he ________．
A．wants to make it clear that these things are impossible
B．is describing the history of St Nicholas
C．wants everyone to believe that Father Christmas is real
D．is explaining the modern legend of Father Christmas
38．Why does the writer mention the story about St Nicholas helping three poor girls?
A．It shows us that historians know very little about him．
B．This story explain why parents give secret presents to children．
C．It supports the writer's main point that Father Christmas is based on an untrue story．
D．This story explains why we celebrate Christmas in December．
39．In the last paragraph，the word“benign”means ________．
A．religious B．friendly C．frightening D．unreal
40．The best title for this passage would be ________．
A．Is Father Christmas Dangerous?
B．The True History of St Nicholas
C．The Legend of Santa Claus
D．The Traditions of Christmas

It is hard to track the blue whale，which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling．Attaching radio devices to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior．
So biologists were delighted early this year when，with the help of the US Navy，they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days recording its sounds．This was possible because of the Navy’s formerly top secret system of underwater listening devices across the oceans．
Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world justopening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts toshare and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies．
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently thatthey had used the system for closely observing a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they planned similar studies．Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in the ocean and global temperatures．Different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope(听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear．This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean，especially low-frequency ones，can often travel thousands of miles．
51．The underwater listening system was originally designed ________．
A．to trace and locate enemy ships
B．to observe deep-sea volcanic eruptions
C．to study the movement of ocean currents
D．to replace the global radio communications network
52．The deep-sea listening system makes use of ________．
A．the ability of sounds to travel at high speed
B．the top-level technology of focusing sounds under water
C．the unique characteristic of layers of ocean water in carrying sounds
D．low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water
53．What can we infer from the passage?
A．New radio devices are developed for tracking blue whales．
B．Blue whales are no longer endangered with the help of the new system．
C．Opinions differ on the use of military technology．
D．Military technology has great potential in civilian use．
54．Which of the following is TRUE about the US Navy underwater listening network?
A．It is now partly available to civilian scientists．
B．It is a must in protecting endangered species．
C．It has been replaced by a more advanced system．
D．It became useless to the military after the cold war．
55．What’s the passage chiefly about?
A．An effort to protect an endangered marine species．
B．The civilian use of a military detecting system．
C．The exposure of a US Navy top-secret weapon．
D．A new way to look into the behavior of blue whales．

单项填空

3．D profit利润，收益，益处；favor恩惠，帮忙；advantage优势，优点；benefit利益，好处。
4．D 考查情态动词的用法。此处意为“他挂电话前我本应该问一下他是谁”。表示过去本应该做而没有做，用should + have + done。
5．A 先行词是表示时间的名词，关系词又在定语从句中作状语，故用when引导定语从句。
6．B be busy doing sth．忙于做某事。
7．B 句意：比尔·盖茨如此善良以至于他决定把他90%的钱财捐给慈善机构。give away sth．捐赠或赠送某物；give out sth．分发或散发某物；give off sth．送出或发出某物；give up sth．抛弃或放弃某物。
8．C 祈使句+and/or+表将来的陈述句。这里的祈使句相当于一个条件句，而and/or后的句子表示在这种条件下的结果。

15．A 句意：如果我们继续如此浪费地使用能源的话，那么很有可能在还没有找到新能源来替代石油前，我们的油井就干涸了。chance在此句中意为“possibility可能性”，如：Is there any chance of winning the game?这场比赛有获胜的可能吗？what are the chances of getting an interview with her? 有没有可能约她作一次采访?
16. B 四个选项都是交际用语中常见的短语。you are welcome“不客气，不用谢”；I’d like to“我愿意，乐意”；I’m afraid so“恐怕是这样”；that’s all right“不用谢，没关系”。句意：—今晚一起吃饭怎么样？我请客。—噢，我很想去的。根据句意，B正确。
17. D 考查if条件状语从句的虚拟语气。表示与现在事实相反时，条件句中使用“一般过去时/were”，主句使用“情态动词+动词原形”。句意：如果你没有把地图丢了，我们现在就会在宾馆里了。根据从句的did可知本句是与现在事实相反，故D正确。

语法填空
1. it。it在宾语从句中用作形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father。
2. to please。sb is easy to do sth是英语中的固定句型。
3. a。experience表示经历为可数名词，这里指一次愉快的经历。
4. pushed。因与stepped并列，故要用一般过去时。
5. where。where在此引导定语从句，表示地点。
6. choice。由于是用在形容词性物主代词后，所以只能用其名词形式。
7. on。on sale是固定搭配，意为“出售”。
8. him。由于给父亲买礼物，所以应该是使父亲高兴。please him的意思是“使他高兴”。
9. at。at table表示“在餐桌边”“在进餐”，是习惯搭配。
10. was informed。根据句意，此处应用一般过去时，又因Jane与inform之间为被动关系，?故填was informed。

书面表达
One possible version：
To some people, happiness is having things that make life comfortable and pleasurable, such as beautiful clothes, yummy food and trendy gadgets. Happiness is being surrounded by family and friends, being loved and cared for and appreciated by others.
To others, happiness means giving. They always think of how to help others and how to contribute to society, no matter how insignificant they are and how little they can do. They are willing to do everything they can to free others from trouble.
As for me, the secret to happiness is simple. I’m happy when I’m with my family, talking about what happened at school, helping with housework or simply sitting with them watching TV for a while. I’m happy if I accomplish something, anything, answering a question correctly in class, handing in my project by the deadline or helping a classmate with a math problem. Personally, happiness rests on choice.

II. Your house of life 你生活的大屋
Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as (虽然) it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.
Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped (淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.
Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.
Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry. (注：此if从句是虚拟语气，注意if从句的谓语understood和主句谓语would make的形式变化)
Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.
Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.
Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.
Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.
III. A story of Mark Twain
(2018 福建厦门翔安一中期中)
Mark Twain was a great writer. He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humor. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I don’t think they will come to visit me.”
After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his room, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “I’m very sorry, Mr. Mark Twain. There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.
Mark Twain, however, made a joke, saying to the waiter, “The mosquitoes are very clever. They know my room number. They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.
But that night Mark Twain slept well. Do you know why? That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.

THE BRONTE FAMILY 勃朗特一家
Yorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels of the 19th century. One of them is Jane Eyre written by Charlotte Bronte. The Bronte family had three girls and a boy. Charlotte was born in 1816, Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. The children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes. The girls were determined to earn money for Branwell's art education.
As children, the girls had all written many stories. Charlotte alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty, Anne and Emily found a publisher (出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book. ( It was not published until 1859. ) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1849.
Charlotte published Shirley in 1849, and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.
写作运用
写作指导：
应用文——书信
英文书信一般分为商业信函(Business Letters)和私人书信(Personal Letters)两种，而高考书面表达一般都是要求写私人书信。它包括五部分，即信头、称呼、正文、结束语和签名，具体如下：
1．信头：寄信人的地址和写信日期，写在信的右上角。注意英语中地名的写法与中文不同，要从小到大；日期的写法也与中文不同，不是写在签名之下，而是写在寄信人的地址之下。习惯上人们采用美式英语表达，即月、日、年，月，日与年之间用逗号隔开，月份尽量不要缩写，如June 8,2009；而英式英语表达则为日、月、年，中间不用逗号隔开，如8 June 2009。
2．称呼：自成一行，顶格写。称呼语常用：Dear Sir/Madam/Manager/Editor/friends/Bob，称呼之后一般用逗号。
3．正文：信件的主体部分即为信的正文。正文写在称呼的下一行，与Dear后第一个单词对齐。正文通常包括三部分，即开头、目的和结尾。正文的开头语常用：Thank you for your last letter asking about...；I’m glad to...。正文的结尾语是正文的一部分，常常另起一行，常用的结尾语有：I’m looking forward to your reply；Thanks and all the best；Best wishes；Wishing you a pleasant journey.
4．结束语：结束语与正文的结尾语不一样，它要写在结尾语的下一行，位于书信的右下角，后面用逗号。常用的结束语有：Yours sincerely/faithfully/truly；Sincerely/Truly yours；Yours等。
5．签名：签名写在结束语的下一行，与结束语对齐，也就是签上写信人的名字。
一封正规的私人书信格式如下：
写作典例：
假设你是李华，你的英国笔友Bob将于九月到你所在城市的建新华文学校学中文，来信请你在学校附近为他找一套住房。请根据图画提供的信息，写信介绍住房的情况，并告知住房面积为25平方米，月租500元。
注意：1.词数：100左右；
2．参考词汇：房租rent (n.)。
案例分析⊙
这是一篇看图作文，要求以书信的形式介绍写作内容，题目中没有开头和结尾，因而需要考生自己写出一篇完整的书信。写作要点如下：
1．回顾对方上次来信所提之事；
2．租房的内部结构：卧室及其设备、浴室、厨房；
3．面积、房租；
4．租房所处地理位置：靠近芳草街，下一站为建新华文学校，乘11路公共汽车可到达；
5．书信的基本格式。

H＝Henry B＝Barber R=the rude man
H：Good afternoon .I’d like to have my hair cut，if I may. (The barber looks at Henry’s hair and continues cutting another man’s hair.) Er，I’d really like a haircut. As you can see，it’s much too long.
B：(in a rude manner) Yes，I can see that. Indeed，I can.
H：Fine，well，I’ll have a seat then. (He sits in one of the chairs. The barber turns to look at Henry.)
B： It’s quite expensive here，you know！Are you sure you can afford it?
H：Yes，I think so.
(In comes the rude man.)
R: Hey you there. I need a haircut quickly. Can you do me straightaway?
B: All right, then, get in the chair and I'll see what I can do.
R: Thank you (sits down in one of the barber's chairs).
H: Excuse me, but I was here first. Aren't you going to do my hair first?
B: This man's in a hurry.
H: Well, so am I! I insist that you cut my hair first.
B: OK, but I'll have to be quick. This gentleman is waiting.
H: Thank you. (They both become quiet. After his hair is cut，the barber tells Henry how much he must pay. Henry shows the barber the million pound bank note.)
B: Why, Mr. ... (looking shocked)
H: Adams. Henry Adams. I'm sorry, I don't have any change.
R: You're THAT Mr. Adams! Well, I'm glad I waited or I might never have known it was you.
B: Why, Mr. Adams, please don't worry! (wearing a big smile) Nothing to worry about! Nothing at all! Please come back any time, even if you only need too little hairs cut! It will be my honour to serve you! (showing Henry out with a bow)

One ofthe traditions which is now a necessary part of Christmas is that of Father Christmas，or Santa Claus．According to the modern legend，he is a magical figure who visits all the children of the world during the night before Christmas Day，leaving presents which they find the next morning．He flies through the night sky in a sledge pulled by reindeer，and enters houses by climbing down chimneys．This strange legend is based on the life of a man called Nicholas，but in fact we know very little about him．Historians think he was a Christian bishop(主教) in Turkey in about 285-350．One of the stories about him is that he helped three poor girls．No one would marry them because they were so poor．To provide them with money for their weddings，Nicholas secretly dropped some gold coins down the chimneys of their houses．After Nicholas died，he was made a saint(圣人) by the church．(The name Santa Claus thus comes from St Nicholas．) His feast day was celebrated in December，and parents started giving their children secret presents from St Nicholas．Over the years，this custom became part of our Christmas traditions．
Recently，a psychologist has claimed that Father Christmas is “the perfect fantasy” for children．According to Professor Anthony Clare，children love the character of Father Christmas because he is like an ideal father：he loves children and gives them presents，but he never criticizes them，or becomes angry，and children do not even need to thank him for the presents．Other writers，however，point out that Father Christmas can be a frightening character to some children．Jane Bidder says that some children are terrified of this fat，bearded old man．It can certainly confuse many children．As parents，we warn our children to be careful of strangers and never let them onto the house，and yet we tell children that a strange man will come into their bedroom at night! Some children can become very worried about this idea and fear that he is a kind of burglar．
Most children，however，understand from their parents and from the media that Father Christmas is basically a benign character，and look forward to his annual visit with joy and excitement．
36．The main point of the first paragraph is that ________．
A．Father Christmas is an important part of Christmas
B．the tradition of Father Christmas is a modem idea
C．Father Christmas is a magical figure who can fly

D．is explaining the modern legend of Father Christmas
38．Why does the writer mention the story about St Nicholas helping three poor girls?
A．It shows us that historians know very little about him．
B．This story explain why parents give secret presents to children．
C．It supports the writer's main point that Father Christmas is based on an untrue story．
D．This story explains why we celebrate Christmas in December．
39．In the last paragraph，the word“benign”means ________．
A．religious B．friendly C．frightening D．unreal
40．The best title for this passage would be ________．
A．Is Father Christmas Dangerous?
B．The True History of St Nicholas

It is hard to track the blue whale，which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling．Attaching radio devices to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior．
So biologists were delighted early this year when，with the help of the US Navy，they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days recording its sounds．This was possible because of the Navy’s formerly top secret system of underwater listening devices across the oceans．
Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world justopening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts toshare and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies．
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently thatthey had used the system for closely observing a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they planned similar studies．Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in the ocean and global temperatures．Different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope(听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear．This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean，especially low-frequency ones，can often travel thousands of miles．
51．The underwater listening system was originally designed ________．
A．to trace and locate enemy ships
B．to observe deep-sea volcanic eruptions
C．to study the movement of ocean currents
D．to replace the global radio communications network
52．The deep-sea listening system makes use of ________．
A．the ability of sounds to travel at high speed
B．the top-level technology of focusing sounds under water
C．the unique characteristic of layers of ocean water in carrying sounds
D．low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water
53．What can we infer from the passage?
A．New radio devices are developed for tracking blue whales．
B．Blue whales are no longer endangered with the help of the new system．
C．Opinions differ on the use of military technology．
D．Military technology has great potential in civilian use．
54．Which of the following is TRUE about the US Navy underwater listening network?
A．It is now partly available to civilian scientists．
B．It is a must in protecting endangered species．
C．It has been replaced by a more advanced system．
D．It became useless to the military after the cold war．
55．What’s the passage chiefly about?
A．An effort to protect an endangered marine species．
B．The civilian use of a military detecting system．
C．The exposure of a US Navy top-secret weapon．
D．A new way to look into the behavior of blue whales．

语法填空
1. it。it在宾语从句中用作形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father。
2. to please。sb is easy to do sth是英语中的固定句型。
3. a。experience表示经历为可数名词，这里指一次愉快的经历。
4. pushed。因与stepped并列，故要用一般过去时。
5. where。where在此引导定语从句，表示地点。
6. choice。由于是用在形容词性物主代词后，所以只能用其名词形式。
7. on。on sale是固定搭配，意为“出售”。
8. him。由于给父亲买礼物，所以应该是使父亲高兴。please him的意思是“使他高兴”。
9. at。at table表示“在餐桌边”“在进餐”，是习惯搭配。
10. was informed。根据句意，此处应用一般过去时，又因Jane与inform之间为被动关系，?故填was informed。

书面表达
One possible version：
To some people, happiness is having things that make life comfortable and pleasurable, such as beautiful clothes, yummy food and trendy gadgets. Happiness is being surrounded by family and friends, being loved and cared for and appreciated by others.
To others, happiness means giving. They always think of how to help others and how to contribute to society, no matter how insignificant they are and how little they can do. They are willing to do everything they can to free others from trouble.
As for me, the secret to happiness is simple. I’m happy when I’m with my family, talking about what happened at school, helping with housework or simply sitting with them watching TV for a while. I’m happy if I accomplish something, anything, answering a question correctly in class, handing in my project by the deadline or helping a classmate with a math problem. Personally, happiness rests on choice.
