AThe world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.21. _______, our world is becoming much smaller.A. Because of the rise in pollutionB. Thanks to science developmentC. Because the earth is being polluted day and nightD. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year22. Hundreds of years ago, life was __________ it is today.A. much easier thanB. as easy asC. much harder thanD. as hard as23. Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here “it” means _______.A. rubbish(垃圾)B. noise pollutionC. air pollutionD. water pollution24. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because _______.A. it makes much noiseB. it makes us angry more easilyC. it makes our rivers and lakes dirtyD. it’s bad for all living things in the world25. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2.BParis is a popular travel destination, which has much more to offer than just the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower , which are well known! Experience this amazing city through some of its best kept secrets and off-the-beaten-path places and activities.River BoatsTour the heart of Paris by boat along the Seine River! Boats offer 8 must-see tourist stops along their boat tour route. The cost is 13 Euros for an entire day of river boating with stops for tourists to walk through the Parisian sites. Boats come every 15 minutes. Boating along the Seine is a good way to drink in the unique atmosphere of Paris!Children's Science MuseumIf you are traveling to Paris with kids, the Children's Science Museum is the perfect place to visit.

Euros30.The author wrote this passage mainly to ________.A.make Paris better known to people in the world B.tell readers that Paris is a popular travel destinationC.advise readers to visit Paris and have a good time there D.introduce some attractions suitable for children in ParisCI recently ran into a friend I hadn’t seen for a long while.Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides.Before we parted she said,“You’ll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply “dropped in” I would take my friend by surprise,and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway,staring at me,and asking,“Oh,er...what brings you here?”Whatever happened to the unannounced drop-in visit?When I was growing up in the 1960s,it seemed that people—mostly relatives,but also friends—were always popping_in.My parents would put coffee on,and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with it.Then the conversation would begin...The neighbor lady,a worrier,was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened.The Irish man next door had such an accent that I remember asking what language he spoke.My Polish relatives arrived in packs...But I never heard my parents say anything like “We weren’t expecting you” or “This isn’t a good time.” Drop­in visitors had a certain right of way and became No.1.What happened to such visits?Actually I know the answer.Times have changed.Everybody gets busy with work.There is no longer a stay-at-home mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest.Exploding malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment.Just the other day a former student of mine showed up.“I’m sorry for the surprise visit,” my student began.“I just wanted to see if you still lived here.I’ll only stay a minute.”My response was immediate.“No,you won’t,” I said.“Just come in,sit,have coffee,and we’ll talk.”I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizza.And we had a lovely time.I have tried to keep the drop-in tradition alive though it takes some effort.31.The author thought his friend’s invitation—“You’ll have to drop in sometime”—as________.A.a nice way of refusal B.an excuse of leaving C.a kind of politeness D.an expression ofsurprise32.The underlined phrase “pop in” in the second paragraph means________.A.make many friends B.make a special date C.have a good time D.pay a sudden visit 33.The woman from the neighborhood used to visit the author’s home to________.A.seek comfort from my parents B.meet new friends C.listen to my parents’ story D.taste nice dishes34.From the third paragraph of the passage,we can infer that________.A.the author misses the lost good days B.unexpected visitors are still welcome now C.modern people prefer outdoor activities D.there are more jobs for the housewives now 35.The author writes the passage intending to________.A.encourage people to be drop-in visitors B.explain how to deal with unexpected visitors C.share his feelings about the drop-in tradition D.show the importance of making friendsDThe world is filled with smart,talented,educated and gifted people.We meet them every day.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage,and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was a mazed.The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year.A business consultant who specializes in the medical,trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggled financially.It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase,“They are one skill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes,“Job means ‘just over broke (破产)’.” And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence,and most workers “live_within_their_means”.They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.When I ask the class I teach,“How many of you can cook a better hamhurger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious:McDonald’s is excell ent at business systems.The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at making a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.36.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that________.A.he is just one of the talented people B.he is ready to help othersC.he has a sharp sense of hearing D.he knows little about car repairing37.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by “________”.A.spend more than they can afford B.do in their own wayC.live in their own circle D.live within what they earn38.Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A.They don’t work hard enough.B.They lack financial intelligence.C.They don’t make full use of their talents.D.They have no specialized skills.39.The success of Mc Donald’s lies in its________.A.skills at making hamburgers B.good business systemsC.talented workers D.excellent service40.The main purpose of the author is to tell us________.A.how young people can find a satisfactory job B.what schools should teach studentsC.why so many talented people are poor D.how McDonald’s makes much money第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AA child genius(天才) is someone who at a very early age shows extraordinary skill in one or more areas. Emily Bear is such a child. She has performed at Carnegie Hall, the White House, world-class shows, and on an album (唱片集) produced by Quincy Jones — all before the age of eleven.Most children at Emily Bear’s age are playing video games or getting together with friends for a weekend of movies and fun. But the young performer is instead directing her attention to her music. You can find her preparing for her next television appearance, writing songs, performing in public or sharing the recording studio with famous musicians. Among them is Quincy Jones, who worked with Emily on her new album “Diversity.” Emily says working with Quincy Jones was one of the most exciting events in her life.Emily Bear was born and raised in Rockford, Illinois. She was already singing and playing the piano when she was two years old. At the age of six, she was invited to play the piano on the Ellen DeGeneres television show. Her performance was such a hit that she was invited back to the show five more times.Emily Bear is in high demand to play at performing arts centers around the world and has become quite a world traveler. She said, “I love traveling. I’ve seen China and Italy and France and Lon don and Switzerland and Vienna. Actually, we’re going with Quincy this summer to Switzerland for the Montreux Jazz Festival.” The young musician composed(作曲) all of the songs on her new album “Diversity.” This includes the song “Q”, which she wrote in hono r of Quincy Jones. Although her life is very busy, she still enjoys getting together with friends, watching movies and answering fan mail.21. The writer mentioned Emily’s performing at such places as the White House to____.A. show she is a child geniusB. tell her daily life and workC. describe how busy she isD. introduce what her childhood is like22. What’s the difference between Emily and those of the same age?A. She can play video games.B. She has no friends to play with.C. She lives a more active life.D. She puts her heart into music.23. Emily travels around the world to____.A. go sightseeingB. accompany QuincyC. give performancesD. receive advanced studies24. On what purpose did Emily write the song “Q”?A. To advertise her new album.B. To draw Quincy’s attention.C. To show respect to Quincy Jones.D. To introduce Quincy to the world.BLast week I went to visit my relatives. When I reached London, I found my plane to Newcastle had been cancelled due to bad weather.The airline was helpful—offering me a choice between a night in a hotel or a six-hour bus ride to my destination. Not knowing whether a flight to Newcastle would happen in the next twodays, I chose the bus ride.I stored all my baggage in the luggage space of the bus, thinking I would not need anything on the journey.The young lady sitting beside me could see how tired I was and asked me if anyone would be meeting me on my arrival.I realized that I had left my cell phone in my bag and had no way to contact my relatives. They would be waiting for me at the airport about five hours before the bus got to Newcastle, not knowing what had happened. Without hesitation, the young lady offered me the use of her cell phone.When the bus made a rest stop, she asked me if I was getting out. I replied that I wouldn’t as I still had sandals (凉鞋) on, and bare feet weren’t suitable for the cold weather. When she got back on, she’d bought me some tea and a packet of sweets to eat.When we eventually arrived in Newcastle, the woman checked that someone was there to meet me.I asked her to wait a moment while I got my purse to repay her, but when I looked up she had gone.I was unable to even express my thanks to her.25. We can learn from the passage that the author ______.A. was late for the plane to NewcastleB. planned to meet his relatives in LondonC. lost his cell phone when travelling in BritainD. probably went to London from a warm place26. Which of the following information may be the most important to the author’s relatives?A. When the author would arrive in Newcastle.B. Why the flight was cancelled.C. Where the author spent the night.D. When the weather became fine.27. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. London often suffers from terrible weather.B. Carelessness may sometimes lead to much trouble.C. The author met a helpful woman on his journey.D. The airline was responsible for every passenger.CYou wash your hands many times every day, but do you think they are really clean? To tell you the truth, they’re still covered with microbes, also called “bacteria”. Microbes are everywhere. But don’t worry—most microbes don’t harm you, and many actually help you stay alive. Now, scientists say the microbes that live on our hands could be useful in a surprising way: fighting crime.When the police visit the scene of a crime, they often look for fingerprints to try to identify the criminal (罪犯). But according to a recent study, investigators could even use microbes to help break a criminal case.Every person has his or her own set of microbes that live on their hands, according to scientists at the University of Colorado. That means the mix of different kinds of microbes on ev erybody’s hands is unique—much like one’s fingerprints.The scientists wanted to know whether this microbe mix could be used as a new kind of fingerprint—especially in a crime scene where fingerprints might be hard to find. And policemen use forensics such as studying fingerprints to identify the criminal.“Microbe fingerprints are harder to hide, ”said Noah Fierer, one of the scientists, “You can’t sterilize(杀菌)a surface just by wiping it off. ”His team compared the bacteria on the hands of 273 people to the bacteria found on each person’s computer keyboard. For the study, the keyboards had been used only by the people whowere being tested. The study showed that the mix of microbes from each person’s hands matched the mix of microbes on that person’s ke yboard. The scientists were easily able to tell the 273 people apart—just by looking at their keyboards.But there are a lot more than 273 criminals. Other scientists wonder whether the microbe fingerprint can really be that useful. Fierer agrees that scientists have a lot more work to do before the microbe fingerprint will be a useful tool.28. Fierer’ s team found through the study that .A. they found the criminal among the 273 peopleB. they could tell who had used the computerC. computer keyboards couldn’t keep people’s microbe fingerprintsD. people’s hands could be recognized by the computer they used29. The underlined word “forensics” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to_____.A. a new kind of fingerprintB. a kind of newly invented keyboardC. a kind of bacteria on people’s handsD. the scientific test used by the police30. The passage tells us that_____.A. your microbes may give you awayB. scientists will put this method into practice soonC. many scientists think microbe fingerprints uselessD. the microbe fingerprint has been used in many cases31. What’s the best title of the passage?A. How to fight against crimesB. The usefulness of microbesC. The importance of fingerprintsD. Different germs on our handsDNeddine Parker is up by 7 in the morning. After her morning exercises and some housework, she drives to the local hospital, where she volunteers once a week. What makes Parker’s routine so extraordinary is that she is 104 years old.“I don’t know why I’m still here,” she said.Dr. Thomas Perls of the Boston University Medical Center is trying to figure that out. As the director of the New England Centenarian (百岁老人) Study, he studies the super humans aged 100 years and older.“It’s like winning the lottery,” he said. “You’ve got to choose the right numbers and the right combination.”Researchers believe about 30 percent of aging is genetic(遗传的). For those who get to extremely old ages, family history may play an even more important role.Reuben Landau’s mother lived to 100, and three of his brothers and sisters into their 90s. Landau is nearly 102,and he still practices law a few hours every day. Both Landau and Parker are remarkably healthy. They take few medicine and have no major illness.Perls has found that many centenarians lack a type of gene—E4—that is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. One study found the gene is in 29 percent of young men, but only 15 percent of centenarians. Perls also believes they may have a ‘protective gene”, one that helps them survive what might kill others. Parker, for example,smoked until she was 100 and had a stroke (中风)at 89.However,living into your 100s isn’t just genetics. Aging successfully has much to do with environment and behavior. Landau watches what he eats and exercises his body and mind every day. He’s convinced it’s why he’s still in good health. “People still have to do the right things to get to very old age,” said Perls. So it’s not just the cards you’re dealt, but how you playthe hand.32. According to the first two paragraphs, Parker can’t understand _____.A. why researchers are studying herB. why she still can manage her routineC. why she is still living at the age of 104D. why she volunteers once a week in the hospital33. By saying “It’s like winning the lottery,” Dr. Thomas Perls means ___.A. it takes a long time to win a lotteryB. it is quite unusual to be a centenarianC. it is very difficult to find “super humans”D. it is a tough job investigating the aging process34. According to the research, Landau and Parker are remarkably healthy because ____ .A. the family gene plays a big partB. they enjoy sports and houseworkC. they are very active in mindD. they are fond of social work35. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. gene E4 may reduce the risk of heart diseaseB. the old can have a stroke because of smokingC. genes are not associated with some types of deadly diseasesD. environment and living habits are as important as genes第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASome years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the cold swimming hole behind his house.In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he did not realize an alligator was swimming towards the shore. His mother in the house, looking out of the window, saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In fear, she ran towards the water, yelling to the son as loudly as she could.It was too late. The alligator reached him.From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator got his legs. That began an incredible tug of war(拔河)between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother would not let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, ran from his truck, and shot the alligator.Amazingly, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His leg were extremely scarred by the animal’s attack, and on his arms were scratches (抓痕) from mothers’ fingernails where she had tried to hang on to the son she loved.The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs . And then, he proudly said to the reporter: “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom would not let go.”You and I can identify with (理解) that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from alligator, or anything quite so dramatic . But the scars of a painful past. Some of those scares are ugly and have caused us deep regret.But some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In your struggle, maybe someone has been there holding on to you.21. Upon seeing the alligator getting close to her boy, the mother ________ .A. dived into the cool water at onceB. was too afraid to moveC. got ready to fight the alligatorD. shouted a warning to her boy22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?A. The mother won the “match” because of her strength.B. There were scars on the boy’s arms and legs.C. A farmer scared the alligator away by hitting it in the eyes.D. A alligator attacked the boy when he and his mother were swimming.23. By saying, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too,” the boy really wanted to show ___________.A. how deep the scars wereB. what a brave boy he wasC. how great his mother wasD. how recently he had survived an attack24. According to the author, how are we all similar to the boy in the story?A. We can be brave and never let go of our loved ones.B. We may be faced with danger in our lives.C. We may have scars that come from pain and love.D. We may have to depend on the kindness of strangers.BWe have dreams almost every night. Do you ever notice the colors of your dreams? Do you dream in black and white or do you dream in yellow, red and green?New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a great effect on the color of your dreams.While almost all people under 25 dream in color, thousands of people over 55, all of whom were brought up with black and white TV sets, often dream in monochrome(黑白画面)。
