As scientists learn more about the causes of earthquakes, they become better able to predict them. First of all, they know that quakes are 36 to occur in areas where the tectonic（地壳构造的）plates push 37 each other. They 38 these areas closely, using different instruments. They 39 the vibrations of the earth with seismographs, which 40 on rolls of paper all movements, both large and small. Scientists usually use the Richter scale（里氏震级）, 41 after a famous seismologist, for these measurements. When an earthquake measures over 4.5 on the Richter scale, it is 42 enough to cause damage. Scientists have determined that a（an） 43 is not likely to have a large 44 when many small quakes have been 45 .When the small quakes stop, then pressure 46 and a strong quake is more likely.
There are several other 47 to predict earthquakes. Scientists can measure the tiny 48 in the slope of the land that happen before earthquakes occur. Increases in the amount of radon（氡）,a substance found in deep 49 ,as well as a high level of water in the wells, can also
50 that an earthquake is likely to occur. In addition, scientists have found that some animals, like dogs, behave 51 before an earthquake：they become 52 and howl.

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分）
A
The size and location of the world’s deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas appear. But within the last hundred years deserts have been increasing after frightful speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but most responsible for creating deserts are men.
Man can make deserts, but they can also prevent them from getting bigger. Algeria is planning a green belt of trees along the edge of the Sahara Desert to stop the sand. In China, too, windbreaks are being built in the northwest to keep the desert from growing.
But desert still threaten the world. Experts believe that land that is on the way to becoming deserts equals the size of Australia, Russia and US put together. Can we stop the spread of the world’s deserts and save the land that is so essential to mankind Yes, we can, and we must.
56. The reason for the land that turns into deserts is mostly because of ___________.
A. the changing of the climates B. man
C. the natural changes D. the wind
57. Sahara Desert lies in ___________.
A. southwest Asia B. Northern Africa
C. Latin America D. Australia
58. The word “windbreak” means ___________.
A. trees planted as a belt to stop the wind
B. high walls as a belt to stop the wind
C. long and deep ditch as a belt to stop the wind
D. men stood side by side as a belt to stop the wind
59. The deserts still threaten the world in the way ___________.
A. of increasing at an unbelievable speed
B. of spreading in Australia, Russia, and the US
C. of appearing new dry and wet areas in every part of the world
D. that they cause the changes of the climates
B
For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows, locked their doors and covered in their homes. Feifei was outside, and they were frightened.
By the time Feifei had left, 8000 people were dead. Feifei wasn’t a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.
Why do we give human names to storms and hurricanes？
We didn’t always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint’s（基督教徒的）day on which the storm occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore.
Meteorologists（气象学家）then tried naming storms after the latitude and longitude where they occurred.
Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people’s names-specifically, female names. Male names were added in 1979.
There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones（热带风暴）”.
Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y and Z. The name alternates between male and females.
A storm won’t get a name until its winds reach 39 mph or about 62.4 kph, at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 74 mph of 118.4 kph it’s declared a hurricane.
The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific.
So what happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific？It’s happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex.
Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Center, headquartered in Miami, Florida. He is in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast.
He doesn’t do it alone, though. His counterparts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names.
60.From the first paragraph we can find that___________.
A. Honduras is a country which was destroyed by Feifei.
B. Honduras is a country which has no mountains
C. Honduras is a country which faces the ocean
D. Honduras is a country which lies at high latitude
61.Which of the following is true according to passage？___________
A. There were no hurricanes two centuries ago.
B. The Caribbean is a state of the United States.
C. The Caribbean is a place where hurricanes occur often.
D. Feifei was formed off the Pacific.
62.The underlined word“counterparts” in the last paragraph means___________.
A. citizens holding the same opinion
B. people with a similar position or function
C. passengers traveling by sea
D. assistants working abroad
63.Which list could be used to name the storms from the Atlantic in a year？___________
A. David, Helen, Jack, Mike, Lucy.
B. Lucy, Mary, Owen, Nina, Peter.
C. Sam, Tina, Victor, Wanda, Yeats.
D. Peter, Rose, Sam, Teresa, Victor.

It's time to be water efficient!
As populations increase across Australia and the rest of the world, demand for water will also increase. If we don’t reduce each individual’s demand for water (both directly and through embodied water) the water situation will become dire.
It is obvious that we cannot increase demands for water much more without harmful effects to the environment, society and the economy.
It’s all too easy to blame someone else for the water situation-“if 70% of water is used for agriculture then that’s what we should target” – but it’s not that easy. We all depend on the food and resources that agriculture provides, and while there are definitely opportunities to increase water efficiency on the farm, the solution will take more than that.
We each share responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm, … everyone, everywhere, every time.
It's time to become water efficient! This involves reassessing our relationship with water, and learning to use it more sparingly. On the most basic level, it requires a behavioral change, and assigning a value to water that truly reflects its worth.
We can also unlock economic benefits of being water efficient. There are many real world examples given in the case studies on this site.
Everybody has a responsibility to save water, if future generations are to enjoy a similar standard of living to the one we enjoy now. In fact, many of the impacts associated with water use are likely to have an effect on our own lives!
The website www..au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / ) has been designed to help you respond to the challenge to become water efficient. It acts as a central repository for relevant information and further advice, so that you can actually achieve significant savings. It also showcases those companies with products that will assist you in your goal.
64. Can you infer where this passage is from ___________
A. newspaper B. TV programmer C. Radio broadcast D. Internet
65. What can we do to save water ___________
A. find more water resources
B. use less water everywhere, every time
C. realize the importance of saving water
D. unlock economic benefits of being water efficient
66. What is not the reason to save water ___________
A. There are more and more people in the world.
B. The water resources are limited.
C. Agriculture needs more water.
D. The water is very important for us.
67. What is the main idea of this passage ___________
A. Water is very important for the human.
B. Everybody has a responsibility to save water.
C. It's time to be water efficient.
D. Let’s save water for our future generations.

The snow has paralyzed transport in China during the country’s most important vacation period, the celebration of the Chinese New Year. Not only have transport delays hindered personal trips, but they have also slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets. Consequently, in Zhengzhou, the capital city of the Henan province, tomato prices have doubled, and the cost of 47 other vegetables has increased by 36%, as reported by local media at the end of January.
According to an inside PR source, “wholesalers in Beijing were quoted as saying that only about 20% of the usual fresh vegetable supplies were reaching the city.” As an Asian country with a diet based on fresh produce, the shortage of vegetables and the rise in prices is not only affecting fresh food producers, but also the final consumers.
In terms of production, this is the worst snow disaster to hit China in the last 50 years, affecting a total of 9.4 million hectares of farmland in the country, according to a report published on 4 February 2008 by Feng Tao of Xinhua News, at the Chinese government website. Most of the crops devastated（毁坏）by the frost are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the traditional natural border between North and South China.
Chen Xiwen, Director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Rural Work, pointed out at the end of last week that “the blizzard disaster in the south has had a severe impact on winter crops, and the impact on fresh vegetables could be catastrophic in certain areas”, as stated in the Xinhua News report.
The Chinese government has been quick to take extreme measures. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas most seriously affected by the harsh weather. The aim of this initiative is to provide farmers with technical assistance to minimize their losses.
68. From this passage, we can know that the snow happened ___________.
A. During the Spring Festival
B. In the coldest days of the winter
C. In the North of China.
D. It’s not mentioned here.
69. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph four ___________
A. worst B. snowstorm C. cold weather D. biggest
70. This passage mainly tells us ___________.
A. The snow in the south of China caused many problems.
B. The effect of the snow in the south of China on the fresh food
C. The snow in the south of China slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets.
D. The Chinese government has taken extreme measures to help the suffered farmers.
71. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas to ___________.
A. help the farmers plant crops
B. give money to the farmers
C. give directions to the farmers with their technic.
D. deliver crops for the farmers.

73. B 本题考查的是考生的句意理解能力和对上下文的对比理解能力，从第二段中“Yongda，Anji and Dazhong”这些出租汽车公司的名字来看，我们可以看出“SUV”肯定不是出租汽车公司的名字。而从“...are leased so far with...”这句话，我们又可以排除选项D，最后从第三段里“popular” “high-end”和“double”这些词可以看出，B应为正确选项。解这类题目考生一定要学会发现信息，逐个击破，最后得出正确。
74. B 本题是细节理解题，从第三段的最后一句话就可发现正确，解答这类题目时，考生要密切关注下列这些词 “double” “half” “a quarter” “one third” “...percent”和“...times”等，如果忽视了这些信息词，那么选题就会误入歧途。
75. B 本题也是细节理解题，但难度要比第38题大，特别是选项B和C，文章第四段和第七段都提到了其优势，这常常让考生感到为难，其实解这道题的关键就是在一两个字眼上，这就是第七段中的“Moreover”和选项C中的“only”一词。另外C中提到的这种车的优处也是“greater capabilities”的一个方面。所以可以作出B为正确选项的判断。考生应注意，选项中如出现像“all”“both”“every” “completely”
“always”等表示绝对意思的词的话，选项往往是不正确选项。选项中如讲到某一物品的好处而涵盖面不全的，和讲到某一物品的不足而以偏概全的选项，往往也是不正确选项。
76. No Charge
77. For all the trying times, and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years, there’s No Charge.
78. add it all up
79. Love of our mothers is great and we should appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.
80. 然后，他拿起笔写了几个大字“全部偿付”。

Saving Our City
It is very important to deal with the rubbish in cities.
It's very important to deal with the rubbish in cities. Rubbish must be treated properly. Otherwise it may cause a lot of trouble. It may pollute the air and water. When people breathe the polluted air or drink the polluted water, they may get ill.
Our city has begun to pay attention to the problem. For example, some rubbish is sorted and sent to different factories. Rubbish, such as newspapers and glass, is treated and reused. Some harmful rubbish is sent to a certain place and buried. Waste water is treated before it is poured into rivers.
To protect the environment, the government has passed laws to prevent people from throwing rubbish everywhere. We should do our best to fight against pollution.

As scientists learn more about the causes of earthquakes, they become better able to predict them. First of all, they know that quakes are 36 to occur in areas where the tectonic（地壳构造的）plates push 37 each other. They 38 these areas closely, using different instruments. They 39 the vibrations of the earth with seismographs, which 40 on rolls of paper all movements, both large and small. Scientists usually use the Richter scale（里氏震级）, 41 after a famous seismologist, for these measurements. When an earthquake measures over 4.5 on the Richter scale, it is 42 enough to cause damage. Scientists have determined that a（an） 43 is not likely to have a large 44 when many small quakes have been 45 .When the small quakes stop, then pressure 46 and a strong quake is more likely.
There are several other 47 to predict earthquakes. Scientists can measure the tiny 48 in the slope of the land that happen before earthquakes occur. Increases in the amount of radon（氡）,a substance found in deep 49 ,as well as a high level of water in the wells, can also
50 that an earthquake is likely to occur. In addition, scientists have found that some animals, like dogs, behave 51 before an earthquake：they become 52 and howl.
Seismologists have 53 predicted several earthquakes, such as the earthquake which occurred in Zhangjiakou, Baotou, etc. 54 , not all earthquakes are predictable, and a system for predicting is not yet 55 .

The size and location of the world’s deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas appear. But within the last hundred years deserts have been increasing after frightful speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but most responsible for creating deserts are men.
Man can make deserts, but they can also prevent them from getting bigger. Algeria is planning a green belt of trees along the edge of the Sahara Desert to stop the sand. In China, too, windbreaks are being built in the northwest to keep the desert from growing.
But desert still threaten the world. Experts believe that land that is on the way to becoming deserts equals the size of Australia, Russia and US put together. Can we stop the spread of the world’s deserts and save the land that is so essential to mankind Yes, we can, and we must.
56. The reason for the land that turns into deserts is mostly because of ___________.
A. the changing of the climates B. man
C. the natural changes D. the wind
57. Sahara Desert lies in ___________.
A. southwest Asia B. Northern Africa
C. Latin America D. Australia
58. The word “windbreak” means ___________.
A. trees planted as a belt to stop the wind
B. high walls as a belt to stop the wind
C. long and deep ditch as a belt to stop the wind
D. men stood side by side as a belt to stop the wind
59. The deserts still threaten the world in the way ___________.
A. of increasing at an unbelievable speed
B. of spreading in Australia, Russia, and the US
C. of appearing new dry and wet areas in every part of the world
D. that they cause the changes of the climates

For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows, locked their doors and covered in their homes. Feifei was outside, and they were frightened.
By the time Feifei had left, 8000 people were dead. Feifei wasn’t a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.
Why do we give human names to storms and hurricanes？
We didn’t always. Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint’s（基督教徒的）day on which the storm occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore.
Meteorologists（气象学家）then tried naming storms after the latitude and longitude where they occurred.
Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people’s names-specifically, female names. Male names were added in 1979.
There are six sets of names for what the experts call “Atlantic tropical cyclones（热带风暴）”.
Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q, U, X, Y and Z. The name alternates between male and females.
A storm won’t get a name until its winds reach 39 mph or about 62.4 kph, at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 74 mph of 118.4 kph it’s declared a hurricane.
The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific.
So what happens if a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific？It’s happened before. The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex.
Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Center, headquartered in Miami, Florida. He is in charge of picking new names for storms off the Atlantic coast.
He doesn’t do it alone, though. His counterparts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, Central America and North America vote on what names will replace retired names.
60.From the first paragraph we can find that___________.
A. Honduras is a country which was destroyed by Feifei.
B. Honduras is a country which has no mountains
C. Honduras is a country which faces the ocean
D. Honduras is a country which lies at high latitude
61.Which of the following is true according to passage？___________
A. There were no hurricanes two centuries ago.
B. The Caribbean is a state of the United States.
C. The Caribbean is a place where hurricanes occur often.
D. Feifei was formed off the Pacific.
62.The underlined word“counterparts” in the last paragraph means___________.
A. citizens holding the same opinion
B. people with a similar position or function
C. passengers traveling by sea
D. assistants working abroad
63.Which list could be used to name the storms from the Atlantic in a year？___________
A. David, Helen, Jack, Mike, Lucy.
B. Lucy, Mary, Owen, Nina, Peter.
C. Sam, Tina, Victor, Wanda, Yeats.
D. Peter, Rose, Sam, Teresa, Victor.

It's time to be water efficient!
As populations increase across Australia and the rest of the world, demand for water will also increase. If we don’t reduce each individual’s demand for water (both directly and through embodied water) the water situation will become dire.
It is obvious that we cannot increase demands for water much more without harmful effects to the environment, society and the economy.
It’s all too easy to blame someone else for the water situation-“if 70% of water is used for agriculture then that’s what we should target” – but it’s not that easy. We all depend on the food and resources that agriculture provides, and while there are definitely opportunities to increase water efficiency on the farm, the solution will take more than that.
We each share responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm, … everyone, everywhere, every time.
It's time to become water efficient! This involves reassessing our relationship with water, and learning to use it more sparingly. On the most basic level, it requires a behavioral change, and assigning a value to water that truly reflects its worth.
We can also unlock economic benefits of being water efficient. There are many real world examples given in the case studies on this site.
Everybody has a responsibility to save water, if future generations are to enjoy a similar standard of living to the one we enjoy now. In fact, many of the impacts associated with water use are likely to have an effect on our own lives!
The website www..au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / ) has been designed to help you respond to the challenge to become water efficient. It acts as a central repository for relevant information and further advice, so that you can actually achieve significant savings. It also showcases those companies with products that will assist you in your goal.
64. Can you infer where this passage is from ___________
A. newspaper B. TV programmer C. Radio broadcast D. Internet
65. What can we do to save water ___________
A. find more water resources
B. use less water everywhere, every time
C. realize the importance of saving water
D. unlock economic benefits of being water efficient
66. What is not the reason to save water ___________
A. There are more and more people in the world.
B. The water resources are limited.
C. Agriculture needs more water.
D. The water is very important for us.
67. What is the main idea of this passage ___________
A. Water is very important for the human.

The snow has paralyzed transport in China during the country’s most important vacation period, the celebration of the Chinese New Year. Not only have transport delays hindered personal trips, but they have also slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets. Consequently, in Zhengzhou, the capital city of the Henan province, tomato prices have doubled, and the cost of 47 other vegetables has increased by 36%, as reported by local media at the end of January.
According to an inside PR source, “wholesalers in Beijing were quoted as saying that only about 20% of the usual fresh vegetable supplies were reaching the city.” As an Asian country with a diet based on fresh produce, the shortage of vegetables and the rise in prices is not only affecting fresh food producers, but also the final consumers.
In terms of production, this is the worst snow disaster to hit China in the last 50 years, affecting a total of 9.4 million hectares of farmland in the country, according to a report published on 4 February 2008 by Feng Tao of Xinhua News, at the Chinese government website. Most of the crops devastated（毁坏）by the frost are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the traditional natural border between North and South China.
Chen Xiwen, Director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Rural Work, pointed out at the end of last week that “the blizzard disaster in the south has had a severe impact on winter crops, and the impact on fresh vegetables could be catastrophic in certain areas”, as stated in the Xinhua News report.
The Chinese government has been quick to take extreme measures. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas most seriously affected by the harsh weather. The aim of this initiative is to provide farmers with technical assistance to minimize their losses.
68. From this passage, we can know that the snow happened ___________.
A. During the Spring Festival
B. In the coldest days of the winter
C. In the North of China.
D. It’s not mentioned here.

C. The snow in the south of China slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets.
D. The Chinese government has taken extreme measures to help the suffered farmers.

73. B 本题考查的是考生的句意理解能力和对上下文的对比理解能力，从第二段中“Yongda，Anji and Dazhong”这些出租汽车公司的名字来看，我们可以看出“SUV”肯定不是出租汽车公司的名字。而从“...are leased so far with...”这句话，我们又可以排除选项D，最后从第三段里“popular” “high-end”和“double”这些词可以看出，B应为正确选项。解这类题目考生一定要学会发现信息，逐个击破，最后得出正确。
74. B 本题是细节理解题，从第三段的最后一句话就可发现正确，解答这类题目时，考生要密切关注下列这些词 “double” “half” “a quarter” “one third” “...percent”和“...times”等，如果忽视了这些信息词，那么选题就会误入歧途。
75. B 本题也是细节理解题，但难度要比第38题大，特别是选项B和C，文章第四段和第七段都提到了其优势，这常常让考生感到为难，其实解这道题的关键就是在一两个字眼上，这就是第七段中的“Moreover”和选项C中的“only”一词。另外C中提到的这种车的优处也是“greater capabilities”的一个方面。所以可以作出B为正确选项的判断。考生应注意，选项中如出现像“all”“both”“every” “completely”
“always”等表示绝对意思的词的话，选项往往是不正确选项。选项中如讲到某一物品的好处而涵盖面不全的，和讲到某一物品的不足而以偏概全的选项，往往也是不正确选项。
76. No Charge
77. For all the trying times, and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years, there’s No Charge.
78. add it all up
79. Love of our mothers is great and we should appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.
80. 然后，他拿起笔写了几个大字“全部偿付”。

Saving Our City
It is very important to deal with the rubbish in cities.
It's very important to deal with the rubbish in cities. Rubbish must be treated properly. Otherwise it may cause a lot of trouble. It may pollute the air and water. When people breathe the polluted air or drink the polluted water, they may get ill.
Our city has begun to pay attention to the problem. For example, some rubbish is sorted and sent to different factories. Rubbish, such as newspapers and glass, is treated and reused. Some harmful rubbish is sent to a certain place and buried. Waste water is treated before it is poured into rivers.
To protect the environment, the government has passed laws to prevent people from throwing rubbish everywhere. We should do our best to fight against pollution.
