第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Dust storms don't just happen in the middle of the desert.They happen in any dry area where loose dirt can easily be picked up.The sand blown into the air by the wind usually falls back down to the ground after a few hours.Smaller bits of particles (微粒) stay in the air for a week or longer and can be blown thousands of miles away.Dust from the Sahara is always blown across the Atlantic and keeps travelling as far as Caribbean.
The scary thing about sandstorm is that they can spread over hundreds of miles and rise over 10,000 feet (3050 meters).They also have wind speeds of at least 25 miles per hour (40km).Not strong enough to blow the feathers off a chicken but still something worth avoiding.
Don't be surprised if you suddenly see a dust storm heading your way.Dust storms usually arrive without warning and move in the form of a big wall of dust.The dust makes driving impossible.Often they only last for a few minutes but storms usually leave serious car accidents behind.If you are in a car during a dust storm,remind the driver to pull over and turn off the headlights.
In mild (轻微的) dust storms,it's still impossible to walk around although you wouldn't want to.You can't see anything because of the dust particles flying around.It's not just the dust you want to avoid.The wind carrying the dust will leave things as if they were just hit by a tornado.The best thing to do is find a safe place in a building.
1.What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A.Sand blown into the air can float for months.

Young people can have problems with their minds.Some students become worried because they have to study very hard.Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates.
Li Wen,a junior 2 student from No.2 Middle School,could not understand his teachers and was doing badly in his lessons.He became so worried about it that he started to cut his finger with a knife.Another student 16?year?old Yang Fang from No.1 Middle School,was afraid of exams.She got very worried in one and when she looked at the exam paper,she couldn't think of anything to write.
A recent report from Jiefang Daily says about 18% of Shanghai teenagers have mental problems.Their troubles include being worried and very unhappy and having problems in learning and getting on with people.Many students who have problems won't go for advice or help.Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor.Others don't want to talk about their secrets.Liang Yuezhu,an expert on teenagers from Beijing Anding Hospital has the following advice for teenagers:

Of all nature's disasters,forest fires are often considered the most frightening.Moving at lightning speed,huge walls of flames can burn acres of land in just a few minutes.And although technology,including the use of fire?retardant chemicals,has greatly helped the fight against forest fires,they still take great damage.
According to the National Interagency Fire Center,the fire season last year was the worst on record in terms of the number of fires and acres(公顷) burned.There were 96,385 fires and 9,873,429 acres affected by fire in a year that was 125% more destructive (毁灭性的)than the 10?year average(平均).These fires cost the federal government $1.5 billion to fight,and this figure does not include the money spent by local and state governments as part of the effort.
Fires in the southern states represented(代表)half of the national total last year with Texas,Oklahoma and Arkansas being home to an usually high amount of activity.Wildfire have also taken place in Western states such as California,Colorado and Alaska throughout the past 10 years.
It is said that two?thirds of forest fires are started accidentally by people,almost one quarter are purposely set,while lighting causes 10%.
Forest fires can have advantageous effects.Charcoal(木炭) enriches soil,and some plant species(种类) grow well after.The cones of the jack pine tree,for example,will not spread their seeds unless there is heat.Douglas fir trees grow best in open sunlight areas after fire.

The Great Barn Adventure
One morning when I was 11,I explored the town's abandoned round grain barn (谷仓).I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.
Inside,there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark.After my eyes adjusted,I noticed a shaft (竖井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn.On one side was a one?man elevator with a long rope and roller.
I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft,but stopped halfway.After a brief panic attack,I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals,forming a ladder.For reasons known only to all 11?year?old,I decided it would be better to go up than down.So,with shaking hands,I began climbing the wall.
After what seemed like forever,I reached the top of the shaft.I stood up,dusted myself off and found...absolutely nothing of interest.It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof.I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher (灭火器),which I'd always wanted to shoot off.So this was the chance of a lifetime.I tried it,and,much to my surprise,the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room.I couldn't breathe.I was going to choke to death,and they'd probably never even find my body.
Luckily,I remembered the ladder to the roof.I climbed up,popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.
I suddenly realised the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention.So when the dust had settled,I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door.I'm not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught,but I ran all the way back home.
12.When the author got inside the barn,he .
A.noticed a man on the elevator
B.opened the chained sliding door
C.saw many dead mice in the dark
D.found a shaft leading to the top
13.Which of the following is the right order of the author's adventure?
a.The elevator stopped halfway.
b.He entered the round grain barn.
c.He climbed to the top of the shaft.
d.He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.
A.b-a-c-d B.a-c-b-d
C.c-a-d-b D.b-c-a-d
14.After getting out of the chained door,the author might feel .
A.inspired B.relieved
C.surprised D.disappointed
15.From the passage,we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of .
A.passions B.dreams
C.curiosity D.imagination

Carl lost his job.He tried to find another one but it wasn't easy.As a result,the poor fellow couldn't pay his bills and he couldn't even find anybody to lend him any.
Carl spent most of his days at home.Sometimes he looked out of the window and watched his neighbor's house.An old professor lived there alone.Strangely,he hardly talked to his neighbors.Carl could see into the professor's house because he never drew the curtain.The rooms were full of antique (古董) furniture and vases.Carl thought,“If I got an antique vase,I could sell it for a lot of money.”
Every day Carl saw the professor.He left at 10 o'clock in the morning and came back home at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.He had a dog.Carl often went to the fence and played with it or gave it a piece of meat.
One day Carl thought,“I will go into the professor's house and steal a vase.I will break the window and climb in.The dog is not a problem.”
There was an old gun in the cellar(地下室).It had been his great grandfather's favorite thing a long time before.Carl didn't want to use the gun but he thought,“Anything could happen.”
He wanted to hide the gun under his coat but it was too long so he had to cut the end off with a saw(锯).
The next morning he watched the professor leaving home at 10 o'clock.Carl climbed over the fence.The dog ran to him and Carl gave it a big bone.He threw a piece of stone through the window,which broke.It wasn't high.He could climb into the house easily.
He looked around inside.There were paintings on the walls,small figures and vases on the shelves and the floor.Carl didn't know much about arts.He couldn't choose.He reached his hands towards a big vase when he heard a noise.The front door opened and someone entered the house.

【故事续写】
Paragraph 1:
It was the professor.He had forgotten to take an important document with him.Carl became so afraid that he pulled out the gun without thinking.The professor came into the room and saw him.“What are you doing in my house?”he asked surprisingly and angrily.“I haven't stolen anything.Just let me go or I will shoot.”cried Carl,pointing the gun at the professor with his trembling hands.
Paragraph 2:
The professor was scared.Suddenly,he burst into laughter.“With that gun?”asked the professor.Strangely,he didn't seem frightened of Carl any more.He continued.“You can't shoot with that antique gun.You should have put it in the museum actually.”“Is this really an antique gun?”Asked Carl.“How much is it worth?”“It was worth about 17,000 dollars,”said the professor.“But now you can get only 100 dollars for it.”“Why?”Asked Carl.The professor replied,“because its end is missing.”
