The Interior Ministry said the meteorite explosion, a very rare spectacle, also released a great explosive sound.“I was driving to work. It was quite dark, but it suddenly became bright as if it were day，”said Viktor Prokofiev, 36, a resident of Yekaterinburg in the Urals Mountains. “I felt like I was blinded by headlights.”The meteorite, which weighed about 10 tons and may have been made of iron, entered Earth's atmosphere and broke apart 30 km —50 km above ground according to Russia's Academy of Sciences.“The energy released when it entered the Earth's atmosphere was equal to a few kilotons，”the academy said, “the power of a small atomic weapon exploding.”No deaths were reported but the Emergencies Ministry said 20,000 rescue and clean-up workers were sent to Urals Region after President Vladimir Putin told Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov to ease and help the victims.The Interior Ministry said about 1,200 people had been injured, at least 200 of them children, and most from broken pieces of glass.56．The underlined word “smashed” in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．A．broke B．melted C．swallowed D．cleared57．We can know from the passage that ________.A．Moscow is 1,500 kilometers away from the east of ChelyabinskB．many houses were destroyed, with lots of people reported missingC．Viktor Prokofiev became blind after seeing the rare spectacleD．the shock wave briefly influenced mobile phone networks58．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?A．“Meteorite Rush” Be gins in RussiaB．President Putin Orders AssistanceC．Meteorite Hits Russia, 1,200 People HurtD．Meteorite Flies Quickly Across Russia(B)Moving to a new neighborhood, town, state, or even country can be a pretty scary experience. All you know is that things will be different and chances are you won't know the kids at your new school.The experiences that go with moving make many kids feel nervous and worried. This is perfectly normal but don't let these emotions overrun your thoughts! You will soon get used to your surroundings and find new friends at your new school.Leaving old friends and familiar places behind can be difficult. However, as you begin the moving process, keep in mind that saying goodbye to your old house, school, and friends does not mean that you have to forget them or that your farewell is permanent! If you're moving to a new state or even a different country and won't see your friends for a long time, don't despair. Make sure to ask everyone for their address so you can write them letters. Also, thanks to the Internet, it is very easy to stay in touch through email or instant messaging technologies. With your parent's permission, you can even create a blog or web page to chronicle all of your new experiences. Include your thoughts, tales of your new adventures, even pictures of new friends, your new house, and new town. Your old friends will love seeing what you are busy with.Many schools have an orientation program where a student already established at the school shows a new student around for their first week. This can help you to find your way around the school and to make new friends faster.While moving is tough on kids of any age, high school counselor Karen Turner says moves can be particularly difficult for teens. “I think moving during adolescents is an extremely stressful experience, especially if you are into your junior high or senior year. Students tend to have established a very strong peer network during that period in their lives. Often this has more influence on them even than their families in some cases, and when they are torn from that there's often resentment (怨气)．” However, Turner adds that while moving isn't easy, there are things that your parents and the school can do to help you cope with the change.59．Who are the intended readers of the passage?A．Education experts. B．School teachers. C．Parents. D．Students.60．Which of the following is mainly suggested in Paragraph 3?A．Staying in contact with old friends.B．Expressing yourself when it is possible.C．Forming good habits at school.D．Keeping positive about your new school.61．According to the passage, an orientation program ________.A．helps local students in many ways B．is organized by new studentsC．offers help to new students D．focuses on all the students at school62．If this passage continues, what would the author further discuss?A．What a new school is like.B．Why parents move with their children.C．How parents and the school can help the children.D．How children can express their anxiety.(C)When you make a mistake, big or small, cherish it as it's the most precious thing in the world.Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, and get mad at ourselves.And that's only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been scolded when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have figured out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler,_make speech possible, and make works of genius possible.Think about how we learn: We don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observingusually ... then you construct a model in your mind ... then you test it out by trying it in the real world ... then you make mistakes ... then you revise the model based on the results of your real world experimentation ... and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something.That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new — because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success — at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.63．According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes?A．We should try to avoid making mistakes.B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.64．The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.A．a small child learning to walk B．a kindergarten child learning to drawC．a primary pupil learning to read D．a school teenager learning to write65．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．most of us can really grow from successB．growing and improving are based on mistakesC．we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorD．we read about something and know how to do it right away66．The author wants to tell us ________.A．what you should do when meeting with difficultiesB．where you can find your mistakesC．how you can avoid making mistakesD．why you should celebrate your mistakes(D)A young, buried woolly mammoth (猛犸象) has been discovered in Siberia near the Arctic Ocean. Nicknamed “Yuka”, the mammoth has been described by discoverers as being “remarkably well preserved (保存)” though being cut open by ancient people.Yuka was discovered in Siberia during an expedition funded in part by the BBC and the Discovery Channel and is believed to be at least 10,000 years old. The discoverers believe this finding could possibly provide evidence of early human activities in the Siberian region. Thanks to the freezing cold temperatures of Siberia, in fact, much of the meat is still undamaged, having a pink color. Light blond hair covers the mammoth. Daniel Fisher, director of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology told Discovery News, “This is the first relatively complete mammoth body — that is, a body with soft tissues (软组织) preserved — to show evidence of human activities.”Working with an international team of experts, Fisher will help analyze Yuka and get genetic (基因的) samples from the body. The team used carbon dating (碳年代测定法) on Yuka. They believe the mammoth to have died at least 10,000 years ago and have been about 2.5 to 4 years old when it died.Judging from the wounds found on the mammoth and other cuts, the team believes Yuka may have been harmed by lions before humans came along to finish the job.“It appears that Yuka was chased by one or more lions, judging from the deep, unhealed scratches (抓痕) in the hide and bite marks on the tail,” Fisher said. “Yuka then apparently fell, breaking one of the lower back-legs. At this point, humans may have moved in to control the body, cutting up much of the animal and removing parts that they would use immediately. They may, in fact, have reburied the rest of the body to keep it in reserve for possible later use. What remains now would then be ‘leftovers’ that they never retrieved.”While most of organs (器官) inside Yuka’s body are missing, such as ribs, ver tebrae, and some meat, the lower parts of each leg, the trunk remain incredibly well preserved.French mammoth hunter Bernard Beigues is also part of the international team, and suggests the humans may have been after Yuka’s fat and large bones. He believe s the bones may have been used in religious ceremonies and therefore were kept close to the body.Such discoveries will enable scientists to study the genetics of these animals. For example, the discovery of Yuka has confirmed an earlier assumption (假设) about mammoths’ hair color. The red hair found all over Yuka proves this theory and provides information about the genetic codes of the mammoth as it relates to hair and eye color. With such a wealth of genetic material to investigate, scientists suggest cloning is possible. Tim Walker, a director and producer for the Discovery Channel told Discovery News that cloning a mammoth could take years, even decades. Yuka will be a part of a new documentary produced by the BBC and the Discovery Channel called “Mammoth”.67. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Yuka’s body remains in excellent condition.B. Yuka’s soft tissues prove ancient human activities.C. Woolly mammoths were enemies of ancient humans.D. Yuka died from the freezing cold temperatures of Siberia.68. The research team has figured out Yuka’s age by ______.A. genetic samplesB. carbon datingC. wounds of the tailD. the light blond hair69. What does the underlined wo rd “retrieved” in Paragraph 5 means “______”.A. worked outB. given upC. got backD. asked for70. What would be the best title for the text?A. Cloning of Yuka the MammothB. A Well-preserved Mammoth BodyC. Ancient Human Activities in SiberiaD. The Missing Parts of the Mammoth Body第二卷(共35分)第一节:任务型阅读 ((共10题，每小题0.5分，满分10分)Passion has somehow become a funny thing. At first it's commonly defined as a love you have for something; something you may do during your free time. But today, passion goes beyond that. With people living the seemingly perfect life, passion has become the gateway to freedom, the ability to design and create the lifestyle you wanted. It is the fire that burns inside of you. It makes everything in life feel right and meaningful and it gives you a sense of identity.But people today have some misunderstandings of what passion is.You have to be extremely good at it. How often is it today that you hear of this or that inspiring guy who created a business out of passion or does what he loves every day? It's easy to think that that person is really good at what he does. Absolutely right? Not really. Passion isn't a competition where you keep getting better and then show off to people how great you are. Passion is a feeling. Like love, when it comes to you, you enjoy it and let it flow. It is this feeling that is all you need.It has to be acceptable in the eyes of others. Some people think that passion needs to be acceptable, and it must meet the expectations of others or you may come across as crazy. It also has to be acceptable for the possible future of making a living out of it. Again, no. Passion can be anything you want. As long as you attain that special feeling which makes everything alright in life, it's absolutely okay. Nothing else matters then.It will make you money. Inspiring as it is to hear of people making a full-time income from what they love, the truth is, it's not guaranteed that passion can make money for you. Do you think people would want to pay you if your passion is say, sitting in front of the TV eating chips? Doubtful. There is a veritable gap which your passion needs to cross to enter the world where rules of life and society apply. And this gap requires a lot of effort and creative thinking to cross.Passion is simply you. It's your choice to start finding one and holding on to it. It can and will give you that special feeling and raise you to greatness. With a little effort, you can easily findone. And it's something you'll never forget in life.第二节、单词拼写(共10题，每小题0.5分，满分5分)根据所给的中文提示或首字母，写出相应的单词81.

He was from the USA. He was born in 1835. He was also a famous speaker. He was famous for his sense of humour. 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(蚊子) in the town and told him that he’d better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) 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.【1】 That day Mark Twain went to the town _____.A．to see one of his friendsB．to see one of his relativesC．because he was told there were a lot of mosquitoes thereD．because he wanted to do something there for his writing【2】The waiters felt sorry because _____.A．their hotel was too smallB．the room was not very cleanC．they did something wrong to Mark TwainD．there were quite a few mosquitoes in Mark Twain’s room【3】 All the people present laughed heartily because _____.A．Mark Twain made a jokeB．the mosquitoes knew Mark Twain’s room numberC．Mark Twain gave the waiters some nice presentsD．the mosquitoes were very clever and they didn’t come into the wrong room【4】 From the story we know _____.A．Mark Twain didn’t have a good rest that nightB．no mosquitoes troubled Mark Twain in the nightC．there were not mosquitoes in the hotel any longerD．the owner of the hotel told the waiters to look after Mark Twain well at night2.Sam, a dog, was left behind in Colorado while his owners, Mr. And Mrs. Green moved to Southern California. They did not give the dog up. They found him a very nice home before they moved. They would have let Sam accompany them, but they were afraid the dog’s presence would make it difficult for them to rent(租) a house when they reached their destination.The Green family lived in Colorado for less than a year. Before that, they had lived in the same neighborhood in California to which they returned. So Sam had been there before, but only for a short time when he was young. Several months after the Greens left Colorado, after they were comfortably settled back in California, they heard a scratch（抓）at the door. They couldn’t imagine who might be there. They never thought that it might be Sam, because they were sure he was happily set up with his new family back in Colorado. When they opened the door, the Greens saw a dirty, tired dog with very hurting feet. The animal looked a little bit like Sam, but no one could believe that Sam could have walked 840 miles on his own. The tired dog spent the night under the family car. The next day, when he was more rested, he performed some of his old tricks. The Greens knew they had their own dog back.【1】The story suggests that _______ .A．dog owners have trouble rentingB．many people treat their pets badlyC．keeping a dog is easyD．dogs are too much trouble【2】Which is the right order （顺序）of the following events according to the passage?a.

Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think life in the city is more exciting and better than that in rural (农村的) areas, especially young people who like new and modern things.Often people feel that they can find the latest styles only in the city. Other people are interested in technological (科技的) things and high-tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city. If they want to find a job, especially a good position in a company, they feel they have to live in a city.To get these jobs, they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages of city life such as heavy traffic and pollution.However, it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages (好处) of living in the city.Nowadays, travel is fast and information is available (可获得的) on the Internet, so many people are able to do their work in home offices.Because they have e-mail and personal computers, they don't have to be in big cities to do their business. It is not important where they actually work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere with technology. Now they can enjoy life in the countryside and still be able to do good business and successful careers.【1】The underlined phrase “put up with” (in Para. 3) probably means “_____”.A．change B．stand C．be angry with D．be pleased with 【2】 Now people can enjoy life in the countryside and still be able to do good business and successful careers _____.A．because of the Internet and fast travelB．because of e-mail and personal computersC．because travel is fastD．because the rural areas are developing faster than cities【3】What would be the best title for this passage?A．Life in the city B．Life in the countryC．Go and live in the city D．Go and live in the country4.When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer (使…快活) me up, my laugh turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying. Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and more friendly and they are more ready to offer support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response.【1】Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A．Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.B．Because she did not love her grandmother.C．Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D．The author doesn’t give the explanation.【2】 It can be inferred (推断) from the text that ______.A．there are two ways to keep healthyB．laughing does more good to health than cryingC．crying and laughing play the same rolesD．emotional health has a close relationship to physical health【3】 According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A．Crying is the best way to get help from others.B．Holding back tears may cause some health problems.C．We will know our deep feelings if we cry.D．We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.【4】What might be the best title for the text?A．Power of Tears B．How to Keep HealthyC．Why We Cry D．A New Scientific Discovery【5】What might the underlined word “fight” in the last paragraph mean?A．come back B．pay back C．hold back D．give back 5.EA．Cook’s Cottage B．Westfield Centerpoint．C．Sydney Tower D．Sovereign Hill．【2】What is the time that Cook’s Cottage is open on Saturday in the summer?A．11:00 am—2:00 pm．B．5:00 pm—10:30 pm．C．9:00 am—5:30 pm．D．9:00 am—5:00 pm．【3】The Anchorage Restaurant is __________．A．in Williamstown B．in the centre of the cityC．in Anchorage D．in a Cantonese fishing port【4】If you want to buy the best products in Australia, you may call __________．A．9231 9300B．9397 6270C．5331 1944D．9419 4677四、单词拼写阅读下面句子，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示, 在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。

AO. Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories. His real name was William Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank, when some money went missing from the bank O. Henry was believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish witha sudden change at the end, to the reader‟s surprise.21. In which order did O. Henry do the following things?a. Lived in New York.b. Worked in a bank.c. Travelled to Texas.d. Was put in prison.e. Had a newspaper Job.f. Learned to write stories.A. e. c. f. b. d. aB. c. e. b. d. f. aC. e. b. d. c. a. f.D. c. b. e. d. a f.22. People enjoyed reading O. Henry‟s stories because______.A. they had surprise endingsB. they were easy to understandC. they showed his love for the poorD. they were about New York City23. What do we know about O.

Henry get most material for his short stories?A. His life inside the prison.B. The newspaper articles he wrote.C. The city and people of New York.D. His exciting early life as a boyBOur eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would have sweets and ice-cream rather than eat meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat at the end of a meal. If we drink beer at meals, it may take away our appetite（胃口）. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because he is worried, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.25. Why do we have to form good eating habits?A. Because we want to eat more.B. Because we enjoy our meal.C. Because we want to save time.D. Because we want to keep fit.26. When do you think it is good to eat sweets and ice-cream according to the passage?A. When we are happy.B. When we have a good appetite.C. After a meal.D. Before a meal.27. The underlined word“swallow” means______________.A. take into the stomach through the throatB. eat with difficultyC. break with the teeth before taking inD. drink like a fish28. When does the writer think it would be better to have our meal?A. When our work is over.B. At the fixed time every day.C. When we feel happy.D. When every family member is home.CDriving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic(交通) signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job.
