Welcome to Yellowstone National Park. Before we start our nature walk today，I’d like to give you a brief introduction to our National Park Service. The National Park Service began in the late 1800s.A small group of people found the land now called Yellowstone，and after hours of discussion around the campfire，they decided that it should be enjoyed by everyone. Two years later，the government declared it the first national park in the world. After it became a national park，many other areas of beautiful scenery were set aside. And in 1916，these parks came to be managed by the National Park Service. I am now employed by the National Park Service，and I am on duty at all time to answer questions and help any visitors with any difficulty. Nature walks，guided tours and campfire talks are offered by specially trained members. The park service also protects the animals and plants within the parks.

Almost everyone feels sleepy sometimes during the daytime. Being sleepy may get in the way of your daily work，childcare，and even activities for fun. Here are some ways to improve nighttime sleep and avoid daytime sleepiness.
1．Get adequate nighttime sleep.
That may sound obvious，but many of us cut down an hour or two off our sleep time in the morning or at night to do other things. Most adults need seven to nine hours a night，and teenagers usually need a full nine hours. Block out eight or nine hours for sleep every night.
2．Keep distractions out of bed.
“Remember your bed is only for sleep，” says the scientist.“You shouldn’t read，watch TV，play video games，or use laptop computers in bed.” Don’t do your bills or have heated discussions in bed，either. They may leave you sleepless.
3．Form a good habit.
You should form a good habit of going to bed and getting up at the same time at night and in the morning，including on weekends.
4．Gradually move to an earlier bedtime.
Another way of getting into a consistent (始终如一的) schedule is to try going to bed 15 minutes earlier each night for four nights. Then stick with the last bedtime. Slowly getting used to your schedule like this usually works better than suddenly trying to go to sleep an hour earlier.
5．Set consistent，healthy mealtimes.
Regular mealtimes，not just regular sleep times，help regulate our circadian rhythms (生理节奏)．Eat a healthy breakfast and lunch on time instead of grabbing a piece of cake and coffee in the morning or a late sandwich on the run. Try to finish eating meals two or three hours before bedtime.
6．Exercise.
Regular exercise offers many benefits for sleep. Exercise generally makes it easier to fall asleep and sleep more soundly.

A．6∶00 p．m. B．7∶00 p．m.

My 17?year?old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production，one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night lights，she takes one last look at the bedroom and says，“Dear night lights，protect my sleeping children.” As a mother，I know how much she loves her children.
It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting (适应) well after a short period of homesickness. For us，though，it’s another story. Like most parents，I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone，and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.
In my neighborhood，most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.
For us moms，seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy，who is the same age as our kids，say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier.“You feel like something has been taken away from inside you，” said one of them.
I imagine things will get easier with time，especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile，as I keep my cellphone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night，I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.

When my mom and dad said that we could adopt a couple of cats，I jumped at the chance to have some lovely animals around the house. So we went to the Humane Society where there were a lot of animals up for adoption. The first thing I noticed was that there was not a lot of room for the animals and not a lot of supplies to care for them. Even though they didn’t have much，the people who worked there tried to care about the animals. Still，it seemed they had no enough food and medicine to keep the animals healthy.
My family and I finally decided to adopt two cats we named Sox and Sierra. We went up to the front desk to sign the papers for them，and that’s when I noticed a box on the counter. The Humane Society was hoping to get enough donations to buy more supplies for the animals and also build a new building to help more animals.
Later that day my mom and I went shopping，and as we were walking through the parking lot at the store，I noticed a green piece of paper not far from our car. It was kind of wet，but it looked like it could be a dollar bill，so I walked over and picked it up. It wasn’t a dollar bill－it was a twenty-dollar bill!
When I got home，I dried it off and thought about what to do with it. I considered spending it on a toy and a lot of other things. Right then，Sox climbed up onto my lap，and I knew what I was going to do with the money.
I asked my mom to take me back to the Humane Society so that I could put the money in the donation box. The lady at the counter thanked me，and I felt really good about what I did.

Recently a man came to me，because he was told that there was fluid around his heart. After trying many drugs which were of no use to reduce the fluid，he was told the only other choice was to have an operation. He refused because he knew that every illness has a mental cause and that if he had the operation but did not clear the mental cause，the fluid would return. At last，he searched the Internet to find a metaphysical healer (自然力治疗师)，and he found me.
The mental cause of his disease was an experience of breaking up five years ago with several friends，whom he had known for over twenty years. This experience broke his heart. Not knowing how to “mend” his broken heart，his body created a “repair” by surrounding his heart with fluid to protect it from the sad feelings.
Our work focused on reminding him of the feelings of being loved and forgiving his friends. Months later，his heart was mended and the fluid disappeared. He left my office after the final session with a smile on his face and a spring in his steps.
The key is: to create a healthy body，you must be healthy not only in body，but also in mind.
To be mentally healthy，you need to build up strong relationships. Creating strong relationships will insure that you are accompanied by a network of loving persons. It is important for building a support system that boosts your spirits. Even when you are alone，you will not feel lonely or upset. Strong relationships are not spaceships－they are not hard to build.
63．The underlined word “boosts” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.

A．Loving others will keep you in good spirits.
B．Heart illness can be cured without operation.
C．Creating strong relationships will keep you healthy.

Anger and other strong emotions (情感) can probably cause deadly heart beats in certain weak people，the US researchers said on Monday.
Earlier studies have shown that earthquake，war or even the loss of a World Cup Soccer game can increase chances of death from sudden cardiac arrest，in which the heart stops passing blood.
“It’s certainly been shown in all different ways that when you put people under pressure，sudden death will increase，” said Dr.Rachel Lampert of Yale University in New Haven，Connecticut.
“Our study starts to look at how this really has an effect on the electrical system of the heart，” Lampert said.
She and her assistants studied 62 patients with heart disease and ICDs that can discover dangerous heart beats and send an electrical shock to bring a normal heart beat back.
Patients in the study took part in an exercise in which they told a recent angry period while Lampert’s team did a test called T Wave Alternant that measures electrical instability(不稳定性) in the heart.
Lampert said the team on purpose asked questions to get people to experience the angry period again.“We found in the lab that yes，anger did increase this electrical instability in these patients，” she said.
Next，they followed patients for three years to see which patients later had a cardiac arrest and needed a shock from their ICDs.“The people who had the highest anger were 10 times more likely than everyone else to have cardiac arrest，” she said.
Lampert said the study suggests that anger can be deadly，at least for people who are already weak to this type of electrical disorder in the heart.
【解题导语】 愤怒或激烈的情绪会导致人猝死。科学家也通过一系列的试验证明了这一点。
67．From the passage we know cardiac arrest refers to ________.
A．someone who will be caught if he does something wrong
B．some place where you can show all your feelings
C．some disease that can kill people instantly
D．something used by patients in hospital
解析：选C。推理判断题。文章第二段说到此前的研究表明，地震、战争甚至输掉一场世界杯足球赛都会增加cardiac arrest引起死亡的几率，并用非限制性定语从句解释，cardiac arrest是一种由心脏突然停止供血而引发的死亡，医学名为心源性猝死。
68．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________”．
A．feelings of anger and pressure
B．games
C．feelings of happiness
D．hunger
解析：选A。推理判断题。上文主要讲述的是愤怒、压力等情绪会导致人猝死，因此，这段中作者要讨论的是这些情绪是如何导致人死亡的。所以这里的this指的应该是“愤怒”和“压力”。
69．What did Lampert use to measure electrical instability of patients’ heart
A．ICD and T Wave Alternant test.
B．ICD and Cardic arrest.
C．Cardiac arrest.
D．The passage doesn’t tell us.
解析：选A。推理判断题。在第五段提到对62名心脏病患者进行了研究，这些患者都携有可以探测到危险性心律或心律失常，并能释放电刺激使心律恢复正常的植入式心脏除颤(ICD)。这是试验的辅助工具。在第六段提到研究小组让病人进行一项练习，即讲述最近发生的一件令他们生气的事情，同时通过一种名叫“T波交替”的试验来测量病人心电的不稳定度，这是一种方法。
70．The passage is mainly about ________.
A．new findings for heart disease
B．that anger really can kill a person
C．a new test of measuring heart blood
D．a study showing danger of heart beats
解析：选B。主旨大意题。美国研究人员称，对某些“脆弱”的人来说，愤怒可能会触发致命的心律失常。

One possible version：
Last week，I had a survey about the activities the students of our class did at noon at school. The results are as follows. Many students，about 55 percent，were doing their homework. About 30 percent were having a rest. About 10 percent were listening to MP3. Only 5 percent of them were eating snacks at that time.
As is shown in the chart，we always have too much homework to do every day. We students should learn to balance our spare time and studies. Just like a saying goes：“All work but no play makes Jack a dull boy，”What’s more，it’s necessary for us students to have a good rest at noon so that we will be energetic to attend lessons in the very afternoon.
Therefore，make full use of your time，get your work done more efficiently and then go in for more out-of-classroom activities. Only in this way can we enjoy a healthier life.(共44张PPT)

自我探究
分词作状语时，其逻辑主语与句子的主语一致，可以表示时间、原因、条件、行为方式、让步、结果、伴随状况等。
现在分词作状语
现在分词具有动词、形容词和副词的特征，在句中作定语、补足语、表语和状语。关于现在分词的基本情况请看下表：
讲解归纳
类别 主动语态 被动语态 时间意义 语态意义
现在分词 一般式 v. ing(doing) being＋v. ed(being done) 与谓语动词的动作同时或几乎同时发生 根据语态形式，主动或被动意义
完成式 having＋v. ed
(having done) having been＋v. ed
(having been done) 发生在谓语动词的动作之前 根据语态形式，主动或被动意义
一、现在分词作状语的形式选择表
形式 意义
v. ing(doing) 与句中主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系，与句中谓语动词的动作同时发生，或基本同时发生。
having＋v. ed (having done) 与句中主语构成逻辑上的主谓关系，先于谓语动词的动作发生。
being＋v. ed (being done) 与句中主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系，且与句中谓语动词的动作同时发生，一般作原因状语置于句首。
having been＋v. ed (having been done) 与句中主语构成逻辑上的动宾关系，且先于谓语动词的动作发生。
二、现在分词或其短语作状语时，可以表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、行为方式、伴随状况等；表示时间关系的现在分词短语有时可由连词while或when引出。一般都可以变为相应的状语从句或并列句。
用法 例句
时间 Hearing the news，they got excited.(＝When they heard the news，...)
当他们听到这个消息时，非常兴奋。
Be careful while/when crossing the street.(＝...while/when you are crossing the street.)过马路时要小心。
用法 例句
条件 Turning to the left，you will find the place you want.(＝If you turn to the left，...) 向左拐，你就会发现你要找的地方。
让步 Admitting what you said，I still think that you made a mistake.(＝Although I admitted what you said，...) 尽管我认同你所说的话，但我仍然觉得你犯了一个错误。
Having been told many times，he still repeated the same mistake.(＝Though he had been told many times，...)尽管被告诉许多次了，他仍然犯同样的错误。
用法 例句
伴随/方式 I stood there，waiting for her.(＝...，and waited for her.)我站在那儿等她。
原因 Having been bitten by a snake，she was frightened at it.(＝Since she had been bitten by a snake，...) 由于她曾经被蛇咬过，所以一直对此心存恐惧。
Being so angry，he couldn’t go to sleep.(＝As he was so angry，...)因为太生气了，他不能入睡。
结果 It rained heavily，causing severe flooding in the area.(＝...，so that it caused severe flooding in the area.) 这个地区雨下得如此大，以致引发了洪灾。
三、使用现在分词形式需注意的几个问题
1．分词(短语)作状语时，其逻辑主语必须与句子的主语一致。如果不一致，必须用独立主格结构来表示，也就是在分词前面加上它的逻辑主语。
My wife had a long talk with Sally，explaining why she didn’t want the children to play together.
我妻子与莎莉谈了很长时间，解释她为什么不想让孩子们在一起玩。
(现在分词explaining是句子主语my wife做出的动作，它们之间是主动关系，即explaining的逻辑主语就是句子的主语my wife。)
The train having gone，we had to wait another day.(the train逻辑主语＋having gone为独立主格结构)
火车已离开，我们只好再等一天。
2．分词短语作状语时，前面可以加上连词或介词，但是分词短语和句子之间不能用并列连词(如but，and)，因为并列连词接的是两个并列成分，而分词短语只是全句的一个状语部分。分词和主句之间可用逗号。
Having been told many times，but he still couldn’t understand it.(×)
Having been told many times，he still couldn’t understand it.(√)已给他讲了许多遍，但他还是不理解它。
3．在英语中，有些表示说话人态度的分词结构已成为固定用语，不遵循其逻辑主语与句子一致的原则。这些短语常见的有：generally speaking总的来说；judging from/by...根据……判断；speaking of说到……；talking of谈到……；frankly speaking坦白地说；considering.../taking...into consideration考虑到……；providing如果；supposing即使、如果；seeing...考虑到……。
Talking of the world resources，they are very limited.
谈到世界资源，它们是非常有限的。
4．分词的否定形式是在分词短语前面加上not，never等否定词。
Not knowing how to find the subway，I asked a policeman for help.我不知道怎样找到地铁，就去找警察帮忙。
5．现在分词形式的动作和谓语的动作同时或几乎同时发生，现在分词用一般式；如果现在分词形式的动作发生在谓语动作之前，现在分词形式应当用完成式。现在分词的完成式在句中一般只作状语。
Having failed twice，he didn’t want to try again.
他失败了两次，不想再试了。
6．现在分词形式的完成式表示主动和完成的意义；过去分词形式表示被动和完成的意义。
Having written two books，he was satisfied with himself.
写过两本书之后，他对自己很满意。

昨天我买了一本关于自然力量的书，从中我了解了很多关于自然现象的知识，比如：火山爆发、喷泉、飓风、龙卷风、台风、雷暴、彩虹和海啸。在这本书中，火山学家告诉我们，当火山爆发的时候，大量的灰尘将会被释放到空中，在山的顶部会形成一个火山口，流动着的熔岩通常会引起森林大火。大火有时候会把整个森林化为灰烬，甚至威胁到人们的家园。如果我们想去参观一座活火山，我们应该带上有用的设备，戴上头盔，穿上靴子和专用的衣服。
当我们向火山口进发的时候，我们应该特别小心。当我们到达山顶的时候，我们绝对会看壮观的景色。或许我们会得到一些珍贵的石头，我们可以把它们放在我们的阳台上。关于地质学这样的知识使我对其他的自然现象也同样感兴趣。当我快速浏览完整本书的时候，我知道了很多自然的秘密，所有这些激发了我的好奇心。可能将来有一天我会成为一名博物学者、宇航员或小说家。

W：Haven’t you heard that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

M：I must say，Miss，the food was great and I’ve never had better service.
W：Well，thank you，sir. I’ll pass your praise on to the cook and the manager.And thanks too for the tip.
(Text 3)
M：Are you sure you’ve corrected all the mistakes in the paper
W：Perhaps I’d better read it through again.

W：Why not wait here a few minutes and I’ll get my car
M：No，thank you. I’d better take the bus home.
(Text 5)
W：What do you think of the film
M：I like it. I think it is great.
W：I like it too. Do you like the acting
M：Yes. It is excellent. Do you
W：Not really. It is quite disappointing.
(Text 6)
W：Why don’t we buy a car，dear
M：I have been thinking about it for a long time. I think it necessary for us to buy one. We live so far away from my company.
W：Yes. With a car，you wouldn’t have to catch a bus to work. It can save a lot of time.
M：Sure，but we don’t have enough money at present.
W：Why not borrow some from the bank I think we won’t have to borrow so much now.
M：Well，let’s go downtown and have a look.
(Text 7)
M：It’s so hard for me to learn English. Why is it so easy for you
W：I didn’t know you were having problems. Maybe it’s easier for me because I already speak two languages. And，you should work hard at it.
M：Well，I always do my homework and go to classes. What else do you think would help
W：Well，you might try reading newspapers. And I always talk to Americans when I get a chance，though sometimes it’s hard.
M：But，how do you meet Americans I only know other foreign students.
W：How about sitting next to an American at lunch，or have you ever thought of asking someone over to your house for dinner
M：Those are good ideas. But I’m a little shy to speak English.
W：You won’t learn if you don’t try and speak. If I were you，I’d talk to your English teacher. He might have some good ideas.
(Text 8)
M：Is it true that you don’t swim at all now
W：I’m afraid so，I’m too old.
M：But you are only twenty.
W：That’s too old for a swimmer. If I swam in an international competition now，I wouldn’t win. So I’d rather not swim at all.
M：But don’t you enjoy swimming
W：I used to，when I was small. But if you enter for big competitions you have to work very hard. I used to get up at 6 to go to the pool. I had to train before school，after school and on weekends. I swam thirty-five miles every week!
M：But you were so famous at fifteen. And look at all those cups.
W：It’s true that I did have some wonderful memories. The Olympics were very exciting. But I missed some important things，too. While other girls were playing，I was swimming.
(Text 9)
W：Pardon me，officer. I want to go to Burns Park. Would you please tell me how to get there
M：Yes，Miss. Burns Park is about half a mile from here. Do you want to take a bus or walk，The bus stop is on the other side of the street if you want to take a bus.
W：Well，I’d like to walk if it’s within walking distance.
M：All right. We are now on Main Street. Go this way along，until you come to First Street.
W：I see.
M：Go straight along Main Street as far as First Street. Turn left onto First Street and walk another two blocks. Then you’ll come to Lincoln Street.
W：Lincoln Street
M：Yes，then turn right. Walk for a few minutes. Burns park begins at the corner of Lincoln and Fifth.
W：Thank you very much，officer.
M：You’re welcome. Goodbye.

Good morning and welcome to the BBC news special.
Have you ever heard of a four-year-old college student But this is true of Nicholas MacMahon，who is now studying at college because he is too clever for school.
Nicholas spoke well before he was one. At eighteen months he took telephone messages for his parents. At two he began to learn French. The strange thing about Nicholas is that he taught himself to read before he could speak.
His parents knew immediately that he could read. When he could speak，he corrected his spelling. He tried two different schools，but he was bored and unhappy and his parents decided that he couldn’t stay there. His parents did not have enough time to prepare special lessons for Nicholas.

Most of the class might be considered economically __32__，but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies of the season. These，the teacher thought，would be the __33__ of most of her students’ art. And they were.
But Douglas made a different kind of __34__.Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery，weak and __35__.As other children played at break，Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the __36__ Douglas felt behind those sad eyes.
Yes，his picture was __37__.When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful，he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an __38__ hand.
His abstract image __39__ the imagination of his peers. Whose hand could it be One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer，because farmers __40__ turkeys. Another suggested a police officer，because the police protect and __41__ people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God，for God feeds us. And so the __42__ went－until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself.
When the children had gone on to other assignments，she __43__ at Douglas’desk，bent down，and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and __44__，“It’s yours，teacher.” She __45__ the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there，__46__ she had the other students. How often had she said，“Take my hand，Douglas，we’ll go outside.” Or，“Let me show you how to __47__ your pencil.”Or，“Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.
Brushing aside a tear，she went on with her work.
The story speaks of __48__ thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing __49__，and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks，but they’ll remember the hand that __50__.

C．prepared D．curious
解析：选A。由下文可知，老师布置的作业是画出他们想感谢的东西。
32．A.disadvantaged B．convenient

解析：选A。由后面表示转折的but可知这里指经济上不富裕的，四个选项中只有A项“不利的”符合文意。
33．A.purpose B．title
C．style D．subjects
解析：选D。老师认为像火鸡或一些传统的食品会成为孩子们绘画的主题，subject“主题”，符合文意。
34．A.work B．statement
C．discovery D．picture

36．A.warmth B．kindness

38．A.rough B．big

C．recognized D．remembered
解析：选D。她想起那些次她抓住这个孩子的手，带着他到处走，就像对其他孩子那样。显然D项符合句意。

解析：选D。老师教小孩子当然是如何“握”笔了，故hold“拿，握住”符合句意。
48．A.other than B．more than
C．rather than D．less than
解析：选B。other than“除了”；more than“超过，不只是”；rather than“而不是”；less than“少于”。根据句意“这个故事谈到的不仅仅是感恩”，可知B项符合句意。

C．opinion D．agreement
解析：选A。照应前半句中的teachers teaching和parents parenting可知，应选择friendship与friends呼应。
50．A.gives out B．reaches out
C．goes out D．stays out
解析：选B。give out“分发，耗尽”；reach out“伸出”；go out“出去；过时；熄灭”；stay out“留在户外；避开”。句意应该表达的是“伸出”的手，故答案为B。
第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
I had been rather proud of myself when my friends and family got the ticket，whether it was for speeding，parking or stop sign violations (违反)．It was something that happened to others. But last Friday I joined the club.
I was asked to do a new project last week. On Friday morning on my way to work，I suddenly remembered that I had spent the past six weeks without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it.
The truth is that I was not paying enough attention to my driving and I did not come to a complete stop at the stop sign in front of a school. I was so distracted (思想不集中的)that I didn’t even notice I had a policeman on my tail with his lights flashing. Finally I looked in my mirror and caught on.
The policeman was rude and took my papers. Fortunately，I had everything up to date and since I had never had a ticket before，there was nothing for him to do but write me a ticket. While I was sitting there in the seat of “shame”，I felt bad. If I had been that distracted and a child had run onto the road，perhaps I would have not reacted as well as I could have. It was a wake-up call.
People at work asked me if I tried to talk my way out of it. Frankly，it never occurred to me. I felt guilty. Now I no longer have a clean driving record. Please be careful out there，as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy.
【解题导语】 作者因为开车不专心，在该停的时候没停，被开了第一次罚单。
51．What is this passage mainly about
A．The writer’s most unforgettable experience.
B．How the writer got her first ticket.
C．An accident caused by the writer.
D．Why the writer is always so careful.
解析：选B。主旨大意题。通读全文，可知作者叙述了她第一次被开罚单的经历。
52．We can infer that the underlined part “the club” in Paragraph 1 here refers to ________.
A．people who are crazy about driving cars
B．a club for drivers without much experience
C．people who get tickets for breaking traffic rules
D．a club for people to talk about their driving stories
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据前文的get the ticket，whether it was for speeding，parking or stop sign violations可知the club在这里是指那些因违反交通规则被开了罚单的人。
53．What made the writer unable to focus on her driving
A．Planning how to spend the vacation.
B．Thinking of the forgotten vacation.
C．Thinking about her work.
D．Missing her children.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二段的without considering that I had a week’s vacation planned during that time. I was very disappointed with myself for not remembering it.可知作者想起那个被忘了的假期才分了神。
54．From the experience，the writer has probably learnt ________.
A．what is really important to her
B．how to deal with policemen
C．to enjoy the small things in life
D．to be much more careful
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据末段的Please be careful out there，as a moment’s distraction can lead to tragedy.可推断从这件事中，作者学到了以后要更加小心。
B
Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic(逻辑)behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand. Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”．
Try this experiment. Explain how you’ll increase your brain power，even if you have no idea how right now. Just start with anything，and create an explanation. For example，start with “I’ll learn chess，” or “I’ll read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how that will help. You’ll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan，and if you actually do this，you’ll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project，you’ll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better. Want to invent something Write an explanation of the problem，why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you’re half-way there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often，they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.
55．What would be the best title for the text
A．A Way on How to Write
B．Increase Your Brain Power Through Writing
C．Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing
D．How to Start Your Writing
解析：选B。主旨大意题。本文主要是讲了通过写作，可以把你自己的一些想法理解得更加清晰，更加透彻，从而进一步提高你的大脑思维能力。选项B揭示了本文的主旨。
56．According to the text，writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT ________.
A．the increase of your brain power
B．the ability to remember
C．the development of your interest in study
D．the better understanding of a topic
解析：选C。细节理解题。文章第二段、第四段和第五段分别提到了选项A、B、D的内容，而对于选项C，文章则没有涉及。
57．The underlined sentence “you’re half-way there” in Paragraph 5 implies that ________.
A．you are already successful
B．you still need to work hard
C．writing can help you walk half way
D．writing is important to solve problems
解析：选D。推理判断题。文章第五段主要是说写作能够帮助你去理解一个话题，帮助你解决一些问题，如果写出对于问题的解释，那么就等于解决了问题的一半，这足以说明写作的重要性。解决问题的一半并不是说你就成功了，所以选项A不对；而选项B、C的理解出现偏差，故排除。
58．What’s the main purpose of the writer writing the text
A．To advise readers to start their writing.
B．To explain the importance of writing.
C．To persuade readers to become writers.
D．To increase readers’ brain power.
解析：选A。主旨大意题。本篇文章叙述了写作的优点，说明了其重要性，但是，所有这些都是为了劝说读者进行写作而进行铺垫，特别是文章的最后一段的最后一句，更是点明了本篇文章的真实目的。
C
It looks like a scene from the thriller movie Jaws，but these photos of a huge shark swimming with swimmers were in fact taken in Britain. The amazing pictures，which showed that the basking shark (姥鲨) was swimming friendly with swimmers，were taken at Porthcurno beach，Cornwall，where the basking shark was swimming just yards off shore.
The single 14?foot giant was feeding in the shallow waters off the scenic area，and quickly became curious about the swimmers and surfers sharing the water. Though it came within touching distance，the swimmers and surfers were in no danger. The large sharks are plankton (浮游生物) feeders－unlike the man－eating Great White from Jaws.
Beach-goer Rachel Hosken，who took the pictures，said that several basking sharks had been seen in the area.“It is one of the few I have ever seen around this year and it was great to see，” she said excitedly.“There are usually more of them by now，but for some reason there are fewer around than normal at this time of year. I think more have been spotted in deeper waters，but the particular one in the pictures seems to have taken a liking to this spot. I have seen it a few times.”
Known as the gentle giant of the sea，the basking shark is the second largest fish in the sea，only weighing lighter than the whale shark. They can grow to over 36 feet (11 meters) and weigh up to seven tons (7,000 kilograms) and feed on a diet of plankton and small fish. Basking sharks normally begin to appear in May and June.
【解题导语】 在英国康沃尔的波斯科诺海滩，一群冲浪爱好者遭遇一头身长14英尺的姥鲨。姥鲨看上去很危险，实际上不构成任何威胁，它们主要以浮游生物为食。
59．In the pictures taken by Rachel Hosken，we can infer that ________.
A．swimmers and surfers were escaping
B．surfers were trying to frighten the basking shark
C．the basking shark was swimming far from swimmers
D．swimmers were not frightened by the basking shark
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第一段的which showed that the basking shark was swimming friendly with swimmers可推断游泳者并不害怕这条姥鲨。
60．Why didn’t the basking shark attack the swimmers or surfers
A．Because it was not hungry.
B．Because it was too far from them.
C．Because it isn’t a man-eating shark.
D．Because it enjoyed swimming with them.
解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段的The large sharks are plankton feeders－unlike the man-eating Great White from Jaws.可知姥鲨不攻击人类是因为他们以浮游生物为食，不吃人类。
61．From what Rachel Hosken said we know that ________.
A．most basking sharks swim deep in the sea
B．this basking shark has often appeared in that area
C．many basking sharks have been killed in that area
D．the basking shark doesn’t like being with other basking sharks
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段的but the particular one in the pictures seems to have taken a liking to this spot. I have seen it a few times.可知那条姥鲨经常在那一带出没。
62．What’s the best title for this passage
A．A giant basking shark appeared in Cornwall，Britain.
B．A giant basking shark tried to please the British people.
C．Swimmers and surfers were frightened by a giant basking shark.
D．Brave swimmers swam together with a giant basking shark.
解析：选D。主旨大意题。本文主要是讲一条姥鲨在海湾跟游泳者一起游泳嬉戏，故选D。
D
For the people living in the Nile Basin，the river is their life. This 6,825 km waterway，whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers，flows through mountains，woodlands，lakes and deserts. Its potential for fishing，tourism and shipping is great－but so are its challenges.
Water shortage，already serious in Egypt and Sudan，will soon influence several other countries in the watershed as well. Today，about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living. Within the next 25 years，the district’s population is expected to double，adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture. The frequent drought adds to the urgency.
Water quality is also a problem. Precious soil is washed out to sea. Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution. Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils. Water-borne diseases remain unchecked. In areas where it’s hot and damp，hyacinths grow so fast that they choke off lakes，dams and other sections of the river，making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.
Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day. They’ve seen the river change course，and their only source of water thickened with mud. They’re very poor and have few choices.
But a new program，the Nile Basin Initiative(NBI)，is offering very practical assistance. The program is more than just a water-management project. It’s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district: it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.
These are whole ecosystem problems，calling for united solutions (解决办法)．Half the Nile Basin’s countries are among the world’s poorest nations; yet，somehow，they must find the resources，skills and political will to overcome these challenges.
63．What are the great challenges the Nile Basin faces
A．The development of shipping industry and over-fishing of native people.
B．Overfishing of native people and increasing population.
C．Water shortage and water quality.
D．Increasing population and tourism.
解析：选C。根据文章第二、三段内容可知正确答案为C项。
64．The underlined word “hyacinths” in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to ________.
A．plants B．fish
C．rocks D．salts
解析：选A。根据划线词所在句子可以推测出hyacinths最有可能是一种水生植物，因此正确答案为A项。
65．The program NBI is mainly aimed at ________.
A．preventing water pollution
B．changing the river course
C．improving living conditions of the poor
D．preventing land from becoming desert
解析：选C。根据第五段最后一句可知正确答案为C项。
66．What would be the best title of this passage
A．People’s life in Egypt and Sudan
B．Frequent drought in Egypt and Sudan
C．The poorest countries in the Nile Basin
D．The ecosystem problems in the Nile Basin
解析：选D。通读全文内容尤其是最后一段第一句可知最佳标题为D项。

Firstly，we should not use our eyes continuously for long periods. After reading for an hour or so，we should rest our eyes by looking at something distant. Secondly，we should not keep our book close to our eyes when reading it. We should also keep in mind not to read in the sun or in dim light，not to read in bed or in a moving bus. Besides，doing eye exercises regularly will help us keep good eyesight. Last but not least，we had better get our eyes checked at least every two years in order to find eyes’ problems immediately.
As the saying goes，“The eyes are the window of the soul.”Let’s take action to protect our eyes.(共49张PPT)

长白山在中国东北的吉林省。这个美丽的山区大部分地区是茂密的森林。长白山是中国最大的自然保护区，保持着它的原始状态，以供中国人民和世界各地的游客们欣赏。这里的地面高度从海拔700米到2 000多米不等(vary from...to...由……到……不等)，是多种多样(diversity)稀有动植物的生长地。珍稀动物有白鹤(crane)、黑熊、豹子(leopard)和虎。许多人到长白山来研究珍奇的动植物。另外一些人则是到山里来走一走，看看那些蔚为壮观的(spectacular)瀑布，或者在温水池里泡个澡(bathe)。然而保护区里最令人(arouse激发)欣赏(appreciation)的地方则是天池或者说是天上的湖。
Tianchi is a deep lake that has formed in the crater of a dead volcano on top of the mountain. The lake is 2,194 metres above sea level，and more than 200 metres deep.In winter the surface freezes over.It takes about an hour to climb from the end of the road to the top of the mountain.When you arrive you are rewarded not only with the sight of its clear waters，but also by the view of the other sixteen mountain peaks that surround Tianchi.
There are many stories told about Tianchi.The most well known concerns three young women from heaven. They were bathing in Tianchi when a bird flew above them and dropped a small fruit onto the dress of the youngest girl.When she picked up the fruit to smell it，it flew into her mouth. Having swallowed the fruit，the girl became pregnant and later gave birth to a handsome boy.It is said that this boy，who had a great gift for languages and persuasion，is the father of the Manchu people.
If you are lucky enough to visit the Lake of Heaven with your loved one，don’t forget to drop a coin into the clear blue water to guarantee your love will be as deep and lasting as the lake itself.
天池是一个深水湖，是由山顶一个死火山的火山口形成的。湖的海拔高度为2 194米，水的深度超过200米。到冬天湖面就全部结冰了。从路的尽头到山顶需约一个小时。你一到达山顶就会得到回报——你不仅可以看到天池那清澈如镜的湖水，而且还可以看到天池四周的16座山峰(peak)。
天池有着许多传说故事，其中最著名的是关于从天上下凡的三位少女的故事。她们在天池洗澡时，突然有一只鸟飞到她们的上方，把一个小小的水果扔在最年轻的姑娘的衣服上。当她拿起来闻的时候，它飞进了她的嘴里。姑娘吞食了这个果子，后来就怀孕了，过了一段时间，她生下了一个漂亮的小男孩。据说这个男孩就是满族人的祖先，具有语言天赋和很强的说服力(persuasion)。
如果你有幸同你所爱的人去游天池，别忘了投一枚硬币到清澈碧蓝的水中，以确保(guarantee)你们的爱情像湖水一样深厚、持久。

AN EXCITING JOB
I have the greatest job in the world.I travel to unusual places and work alongside people from all over the world.Sometimes working outdoors，sometimes in an office，sometimes using scientific equipment and sometimes meeting local people and tourists，I am never bored.Although my job is occasionally dangerous.I don’t mind because danger excites me and makes me feel alive.However，the most important thing about my job is that I help protect ordinary people from one of the most powerful forces on earth—the volcano.
I was appointed as a volcanologist working for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) twenty years ago. My job is collecting information for a database about Mount Kilauea，which is one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii. Having collected and evaluated the information，I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast.Our work has saved many lives because people in the path of the lava can be warned to leave their houses. Unfortunately，we cannot move their homes out of the way，and many houses have been covered with lava or burned to the ground.
When boiling rock erupts from a volcano and crashes back to earth，it causes less damage than you might imagine.This is because no one lives near the top of Mount Kilauea，where the rocks fall.The lava that flows slowly like a wave down the mountain causes far more damage because it buries everything in its path under the molten rock. However，the eruption itself is really exciting to watch and I shall never forget my first sight of one.
一份令人兴奋的工作
我的工作是世界上最伟大的工作。我跑的地方是稀罕奇特的地方，和我一道(alongside)工作的人来自世界各地。(我)有时在室外工作，有时在办公室里，有时工作中要用科学仪器(equipment)，有时要会见当地百姓和游客，我从来不感到厌烦。虽然我的工作偶尔也有危险，但是我并不在乎，因为危险能激励我，使我感到有活力。然而，最重要的是，通过我的工作能保护普通百姓免遭火山的威胁——这是世界上最大的自然威力之一。
20年前，作为一名火山学家，我被派(appoint)到夏威夷火山观测站(observatory)(HVO)工作。我的任务是收集有关基拉韦厄火山(Mount Kilauea)的数据资料(database)，这是夏威夷最活跃的火山之一。收集和评估(evaluate)了这些信息之后，我就帮助其他科学家一起预测下次火山熔岩将往何处流去，流速是多少。我们的工作拯救了许多人的生命，因为在熔岩流经之地，老百姓都可以得到离开家园的通知。遗憾的是，我们不可能把他们的家搬离岩浆流过的地方，因此，许多房屋被熔岩淹没，或者焚烧殆尽(burn to the ground)。
当滚烫的岩石从火山喷发出来并撒落回地面时，它所造成的损失比想象的要小些。这是因为在岩石下落的基拉韦厄火山顶附近无人居住。而顺着山坡下流的像波浪(wave)一样的火山熔岩所造成的损失却大得多，这是因为火山岩浆所流经的地方，一切东西都被掩埋在熔(molten熔化的)岩下面了。然而火山喷发本身的确是很壮观的，我永远也忘不了第一次看见火山喷发时的情景。
It was in the second week after I arrived in Hawaii.Having worked hard all day，I went to bed early.I was fast asleep when suddenly my bed began shaking and I heard a strange sound，like a railway train passing my window. Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn’t take much notice.I was about to go back to sleep when suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day.
I ran out of the house into the back garden where I could see Mount Kilauea in the distance.There had been an eruption from the side of the mountain and red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of metres into the air.It was an absolutely fantastic sight.
The day after this eruption I was lucky enough to have a much closer look at it. Two other scientists and I were driven up the mountain and dropped as close as possible to the crater that had been formed during the eruption.Having earlier collected special clothes from the observatory，we put them on before we went any closer.All three of us looked like spacemen.We had white protective suits that covered our whole body, helmets, big boots and special gloves.
It was not easy to walk in these suits, but we slowly made our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red，boiling centre.The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study，but this being my first experience, I stayed at the top and watched them.
Today, I am just as enthusiastic about my job as the day I first started.Having studied volcanoes now for many years，I am still amazed at their beauty as well as their potential to cause great damage.
那是在我抵达夏威夷后的第二个星期。那天我辛辛苦苦地干了一整天，很早就上床睡觉了。我在熟睡中突然感到床铺在摇晃，接着我听到一阵奇怪的声音，就好像一列火车在我的窗外行驶一样。因为我在夏威夷就经历过多次地震，所以对这种声音我并没在意。我刚要再睡，突然我的卧室亮如白昼。我赶紧跑出房间，来到后花园，在那儿我能远远地看见基拉韦厄火山。在山的一边有火山喷发，红色发烫的岩浆像喷泉一样，朝天上喷射(fountain泉水般地喷出)达几百米高。真是绝(absolutely绝对地)妙的奇景！
就在这次火山喷发的第二天，我有幸作了一次近距离的观察。我和另外两位科学家驱车上山，到最靠近这次火山喷口的地方才下车。早先从观测站出发时就带了一些特别的安全服，于是我们穿上安全服再走近火山口。我们三个人看上去就像宇航员(spaceman)一样。我们都穿着白色的防护服(suit)遮住全身，戴上了头盔(helmet)和特别的手套，还穿了一双大靴子(boot)。穿着这些衣服走起路来实在不容易，但我们还是缓缓前往(make one’s way)火山口的边缘，并且向下看到了红红的沸腾的中央。
另外两人攀下火山口去收集供日后研究用的岩浆，我是第一次经历这样的事，所以留在山顶上观察他们。
如今，我和当初从事这项工作时一样满怀热情。虽然我从事火山研究很多年了，但是我对火山的壮丽景色以及它那潜在的(potential潜能)巨大破坏力仍然感到惊愕不已。

【解题导语】 通读全文，可知本文作者因脚伤未好(或许也因为实力差)而输掉三千米赛，她虽远远落后，但坚持下来了，观众们因为她的勇气和坚持不懈而欢呼。作者因而对人生有所感悟，围绕这一主线，方可做好本题。
1．A.slighter B．worse
C．earlier D．heavier
解析：选C。以前(早些时候)受伤未愈。

7．A.slow down B．drop out

14．A.while B．when
C．as D．since
解析：选B。句意应为“我正要离开赛场，就在这时几个女孩走了过来”。此处的“when”意思是“(刚要)就在这时”。

16．A.cheer B．hope
C．interest D．experience
答案：B
17．A.hold on B．turn to
C．begin with D．stick with
解析：选D。上文另一女孩告诉作者“我们在为你喝彩(为你的坚持不懈)”，作者便又获得了希望，决定明年继续参赛，即坚持(stick with)径赛(即赛跑)。A项若是hold on to，可译为“坚持、不放弃”，但一般指“抓住某物不放手”或“不放弃对某物的所有权”也不合题意。

19．A.sadness B．struggles

Ⅴ.阅读理解
For more than two days in September 1974，the people of Honduras shut their windows，locked their doors and covered in their homes.Fifi was outside，and they were frightened.
By the time Fifi had left,8,000 people were dead.Fifi wasn’t a pet dog as the name suggested.It was a hurricane，one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.
Why did 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 (纬度)and longitude (经度) 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”．
Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names，starting with every letter but Q，U，X，Y and Z．The names alternate (交替) between male and female.
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 or 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 happened before.The storm just gets a new name and sometimes a new sex.
Max Mayfield is the director of the National Hurricane Centre，in Miami，Florida.He’s 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.
1．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．There were not hurricanes two centuries ago.
B．The Caribbean is a state of the United States.
C．The Caribbean is a place where hurricanes often occur.
D．Fifi was formed off the Pacific.
解析：选C。推理判断题。从文中“...many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint’s(基督教徒的)day...”可知，加勒比海是一个飓风盛行的地方。
2．The names for storms and hurricanes，as this passage shows，________.
A．are set for use
B．are all from American English
C．are difficult to spell
D．are easy to fix
解析：选A。细节理解题。从文中我们可以知道有六套固定的名字为“大西洋热带风暴”命名……(There are six sets of names for...)。
3．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．friends or relatives working abroad
解析：选B。词义推测题．前一句说“他不是单独做这件事”，由此推断此处是说与他工作性质一样的人，只有B项与此意相符。
4．Which list could be used to name the five storms from the Atlantic in a year
A．David，Helen，Jack，Mike Lucy
B．Lucy，Mary，Owen，Tina，Peter
C．Sam，Tina，Victor，Victoria，Jean
D．Peter，Rose，Sam，Teresa，Victor
解析：选D。细节理解题。文章中讲，给飓风的命名是男、女名交替使用的(The names alternate between male and female.)，故应选择D。做此题需了解英语中常用男女名。Ⅰ.词汇知识

PITTSBURGH—For most people，snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening. But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a way to save lives.
The 37?year?old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snake－like robots he hopes will eventually slide through fallen buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies.
Dan Kara is president of Robotics Trends，a Northboro ，Mass－based company that publishes an online industry magazine and runs robotics trade shows. He said there are other snake－like robots being developed，mainly at universities，but didn’t know of one that could climb pipes.
The Carnegie Mellon machines are designed to carry cameras and electronic sensors and can be controlled with a joystick(操纵杆)．They move smoothly with the help of small electric motors，or servos，commonly used by hobbyists in model airplanes.
Built from lightweight materials，the robots are about the size of a human arm or smaller. They can sense which way is up，but are only as good as their human operators，Choset added.
Sam Stover，a search term manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency based in Indiana，said snake-type robots would offer greater mobility than equipment currently available，such as cameras attached to extendable poles.
“It just allows us to do something we’ve not been able to do before，” Stover said，“We_ needed _them_ yesterday.”
He said sniffer dogs are still the best search tool for rescue workers，but that they can only be used effectively when workers have access to damaged buildings.
Stover，among the rescue workers who handled the aftermath(后果) of Hurricane Katrina，said snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster.
Choset said the robots may not be ready for use for another five to ten years，depending on funding.
1．Which institution is responsible for the development of Choset’s robots
A．Robotics Trends.
B．Pittsburgh City Council.
C．Carnegie Mellon University.
D．Federal Emergency Management Agency.
解析：选C。细节推断题。从文中可看出，Choset是Carnegie Mellon University的教授，而且第四段出现了把Choset’s robots称作“The Carnegie Mellon machines”，由此可知，C正确。
2．Choset believes that his invention ________.
A．can be attached to an electronic arm
B．can be used by hobbyists in model airplanes
C．can find victims more quickly than a sniffer dog
D．can sense its way no better than its operators
解析：选D。细节推断题。从第五段“They can sense which way is up，but are only as good as their human operators，Choset added.”可知，robots跟他的操作员辨别道路一样的水平，因此选D。
3．By saying “We needed them yesterday”(Paragraph 7)，Stover means that snake－like robots ________.
A．could help handle the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
B．would have been put to use in past rescue work
C．helped rescuers search flooded houses yesterday
D．were in greater need yesterday than today
解析：选B。推理题。这句话后面的段落讲到Stover对sniffer dogs只能在工人到达被毁坏的建筑物时才能有效使用感到遗憾，并且认为“snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster.”(倒数第二段)。因此，他讲这句话的意思是“蛇形机器人应该用在过去的拯救工作中”，选B。
4．What is the text mainly about
A．Snake-like robots used in industries.
B．Snake-like robots made to aid in rescues.
C．The development of snake-like robots.
D．The working principles of snake-like robots.
解析：选B。主旨题。文中讲到Choset研究snake－like robots是因为“he hopes will eventually slide through fallen building in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies.”可知，Choset研究的蛇形机器人的目的是为了在自然灾害或其他紧急事故的营救中起作用。因此选B。
B
The ocean bottom，a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth，is even today largely unexplored. Until about a century ago，the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible and hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep. Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface，the deep-ocean bottom is a strange environment to humans，in some ways as forbidding and remote as the outer space.
Although researchers have taken samples(样品) of deep－ocean rocks for over a century，the first detailed global study of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968，with the beginning of the National Science Foundation’s Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP)．Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry，the DSDP’s drill ship，the Glomar Challenger，was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean’s surface and drill in very deep waters，taking samples of rock from the ocean floor.
The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15?year research program that ended in November 1983.During this time，it sailed 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 samples of rocks around the world. Those samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to make out what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today，largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger’s voyages，nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics(构造学) and continental drift that explains many of the geological processes.
The samples of rocks drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also provided a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years. The information of past climatic change can be used to predict future climates.
5．What does the underlined word “inaccessible” in line 4 means
A．unrecognizable B．unreachable
C．unusable D．unreasonable
解析：选B。词义理解题。从下文的隐藏在水下，可以知道这里的意思是海底还没有人去过，所以选unreachable。
6．Why does the author mention “outer space” in the first paragraph
A．The Earth’s climate millions of years ago was similar to that in outer space.
B．It is similar to the ocean floor in being strange to the humans.
C．Rock formations in outer space are similar to those found on the ocean floor.
D．Techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration.
解析：选B。词义理解题。从第1段前面看，海底世界对于我们来说是未知的，就像外太空一样。所以选B。
7．Which of the following is TRUE of the Glomar Challenger
A．It is a type of submarine.
B．It is an ongoing project
C．It has gone on over 100 voyages.
D．It made its first DSDP voyage in 1968.
解析：选D。细节理解题。从第2段的第一句可以得出答案。
8．Which is NOT mentioned in the passage as being a result of the Deep Sea Drilling Project
A．Geologists were able to determine the Earth’s appearance millions of years ago.
B．Two geological theories became more widely accepted by scientists.
C．Geologists observed forms of life never before seen.
D．Information was revealed about the Earth’s past climatic changes.
解析：选C。细节理解题。文章中提到了史前的地貌，地质构成理论，古代的气候。所以选C。
