As most people know, in the past few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of North China, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people. It is expected that effective (有效的) measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.
So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms? Some experts put forward practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more funds (基金) ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection. For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting. Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.
How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze (微风) touching their faces now and forever! Nevertheless, I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tries his best to protect natural environment from today on.

B
Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year came from foreign land, a Chinese official in charge of desertification (荒漠化) control said on Monday. And the invasions (入侵) could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.
Since the start of last spring, the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms, of which, a dozen came from foreign land.
Situated in the central-Asia sandstorm region, one of the world's four largest sandstorm sources, China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia. The other three major sources are in Africa, North America and Australia.
The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7,585 square kilometres annually in China, and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.
The shrinkage (收缩) forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 square kilometres and 3,436 square kilometres late last century, respectively.
Currently, the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million square kilometres, accounting for 27.46 percent of the nation's land, and its sandy land totals 1.74 million square kilometres, accounting for 18.1 percent of the country's total.
【语篇解读】 近年来中国遭受严重的风沙袭击,而中国也被认为是风沙的来源之一,经过努力中国在治沙方面取得显著的效果。
5.What does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Going down. B.Going up.
C.Coming from. D.Taking up.
解析与答案:A 词义猜测题。根据第四段最后的“has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year”可知,该词的意思是“减少”,故选A项。
6.Where do most of the sandstorms in China come from?
A.The northwestern Chinese regions.
B.The northern Chinese regions.
C.The western part of China.
D.Foreign countries.
解析与答案:D 细节理解题。根据第一段提到“Most of the sandstorms that...control said on Monday.”去年袭击中国的沙尘暴来自外国,故选D项。
7.Which of the following is believed to be the sand source to northeast Asia?
A.Mongolia. B.Africa.
C.China. D.Australia.
解析与答案:C 细节理解题。根据第三段“China also suffers from sandstorms...sand source to northeast Asia”可知中国被认为是东北亚风沙的来源地,故选C项。
8.What can we infer from this passage?
A.The land in China suffering from desertification has been increasing greatly.
B.China has made achievements in its own desertification control.
C.The desertification land makes up nearly half of China's territory.
D.Little progress has been made in controlling desertification in China.
解析与答案:B 推理判断题。根据第四段提到“The land suffering from...falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.”遭受风沙袭击的土地每年减少7 585平方公里,沙地的区域一年减少了1 284平方公里,故可知控制沙漠化取得了成效,故选B项。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
You probably know many of the things that you can do with the hundreds of different muscles in your body. But have you ever thought about how the muscles (肌肉) in an animal's body are different from yours?
Lions depend on their ability to hunt (猎杀) other animals to survive. Lions must be fast in order to catch their prey (猎物). The powerful muscles in their legs allow them to run at speeds of more than 30 miles per hour. They can also jump a distance of more than 35 feet. The strong muscles in their body help them become great hunters.
Snakes also use their muscles for hunting prey and for movement, but their muscles work in very different ways to lions'. Scientists have found a snake has between 10,000 and 15,000 muscles — more than humans and most animals, including lions. The snake manages its powerful muscles to create a wavelike movement down its body. These waves push against the ground or other objects to move the snake forward.
Snakes' muscles allow them to swallow (吞下) things that seem much too large. Can_you_imagine_eating_a_whole_watermelon_in_a_single_swallow? But a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body. Why does the snake have this amazing ability? The snake moves its strong neck muscles to help push the egg along as the snake swallows.
The trunk, or long nose, of an elephant contains a large number of muscles. Scientists believe the trunk alone has more than 100,000 muscles! This is because the elephant uses its trunk much in the same way that people use their hands. Even though the trunk is large, it can do things that are completely impossible for most other animals.
Now you know how unbelievable the specialized muscles of these animals are. They are made to do the things that are most important for its survival.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了几种动物肌肉的工作原理。
1.Which of the following have the most muscles?
A.Lions. B.Snakes.
C.Humans. D.Elephants.
答案与解析:D 推理判断题。由第一段中的“hundreds of different muscles in your body”和第三段中的“Scientists have found a snake has between 10,000 and 15,000 muscles — more than humans and most animals, including lions”以及倒数第二段中的“Scientists believe the trunk alone has more than 100,000 muscles”可知,大象的肌肉最多。
2.Why does the author ask the underlined question?
A.To explain how humans use muscles.
B.To explain how snakes swallow eggs.
C.To show snakes' great ability to swallow.
D.To show the importance of neck muscles.
答案与解析:C 推理判断题。由第四段中的“But a snake may eat an egg that is larger than the width of its body”可知,作者实际上想说人类无法吞下比自己身体宽度大的东西,但是蛇可以做到。因此作者问这个问题,是为了通过对比说明蛇的吞咽能力很强。
3.What does the author tell us about an elephant's trunk?
A.It is more powerful than human hands.
B.It works likes the body of a snake.
C.It can carry out difficult tasks.
D.It has a great sense of smell.
答案与解析:C 细节理解题。由第五段中的“Even though the trunk is large, it can do things that are completely impossible for most other animals”可知,文章告诉我们大象的鼻子能够完成许多其它动物难以完成的工作。
4.How is the text organized?
CP:Central Point P:Point
Sp:Sub-point(次要点) C.Conclusion
答案与解析:B 篇章结构题。通读全文可知,本文开头概括文章的主旨,第二段讲狮子的肌肉,第三、四段讲蛇的肌肉,第五段讲大象鼻子的肌肉,最后一段总结全文。故B项结构图正确描述了文章结构。

【语篇解读】 彗星撞击地球,会造成什么样的灾难性的后果?

13.A.north B.south

C.were D.would be
答案与解析:C 句意:恐龙曾经在地球上生活过1.6亿多年。并没有延续到现在,所以不能用现在完成时态;另外,shows是现在时态,所以答案也不能用过去完成时态。

C.earth D.weather
答案与解析:B 句意:恐龙不能度过这样寒冷的气候。climate“气候”;weather常指短期的天气变化,故选B。
