阅读理解（一）A little stream ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until it reached desert. The stream then thought, “I’ve been through countless difficulties.I should have no problem crossing this desert!” But as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean in the end,” she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice came, “If a breeze(微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly,but I cannot.”That’s because you can’t give up what you are. If you like to do it, and let yourself evaporate(蒸发) into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean.” Said the desert.“Give up what I am n ow and disappear into the breeze? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before.“The breeze can carry the vapor(水蒸气) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form, a river again to continue its course.” explained the desert very patiently.“And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes,” continued the desert.Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to overcome(克服) the difficulties in your life to head for the success, you should also change the way you used to be.( ) 1.

The crow watched them with disdain(鄙视).“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(评价) about his flying. T hey flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.The swan pretended(假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.( ) 1. What’s the correct order of the following events?a.

It makes us feel more care. It stops stress from building because we kno w someone else is thinking about us. And if there is a problem, we’re sharing it before it gets too big. It just feels great to help.Try these small practices at home and see how they make you feel:＊Help your little brother or sister with a homework problem.＊Help your dad prepare dinner.＊Help your mom carry living goods.＊Offer to do a chore that’s not usually yours “just because.”There’s more to it than just feeling good: Kindness is contagious. It can create more kindness. So you might start to notice your family (or friends) reaching out to help more.Just don’t fall into the trap(陷阱) of expectation(期待). If we help out only because we expect the other person to do something in return, we will probably end up feeling disappointed and angry instead of happy and fulfilled. So decide to help simply because of the positive feelings it creates. Then, when someone else does something nice for you (and it will happen!), it’s a wonderful surprise.Giving and receiving is one of the most basic friendship skills. With a good network of supp ortive people, we are less stressed. We feel loved and understood, so we’re better able to solve problems, bounce back from disappointments, and try again.( ) 1. How do you feel if you are getting in the habit of giving and receiving help?A. Think of more care.B. Feel stress from building.C. Feel more care.D. Fall into the trap.( ) 2. How to build nice relationships according to the passage?A. Help your dad prepare dinner.B. Get in the habit of giving and receiving help.C. Stops stress from building.D. End up feeling angry instead of happy.( ) 3. Which of the following is not true?A. We help out only because we expect the other person in return.B. It’s one of the most basic friendship skills to give and r eceive.C. It just makes us feel great to help others.D. It’s helpful to help even when there’s not a problem.( ) 4. What does the underlined word “contagious” mean in the passage?A. 会感染的B. 会疏导的C.会蔓延的D. 会熏陶的( ) 5. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. Making Help a HabitB. Help Mom Carry Goods.C. Help Others With Homework.D. Love and Understand（四）Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours,” replied Pablo. Martin asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?” “I have enough for my family,” Pablo said. “And what do you do with the rest of your day?” asked Martin. “I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards, I have a full and busy life.” Martin explained that if Pablo worked lon ger hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.“Then what?” asked Pablo. “Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,” replied Martin. “How long will that take?” asked Pablo.Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.“And then what” asked Pablo.“Well, that’s the best part,” Martin said. “You will be able to retire, buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards.”( ) 1. What is the story mainly about ______?A. A businessman and a fisherman have become friend.B. A businessman learns how to fish from a fisherman.C.A fisherman wants to become a businessman.D. A businessman gives advice to a fisherman.( ) 2. What makes the Mexican fisherman happy is ______?A. many friends to visit himB. a full and busy lifeC. more boats and more fishD. the house near the ocean( ) 3.

Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret.Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden.I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer.After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.( ) 1. Why did the man feel nervous?A.

Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain.At first, the local people on the island were very kind to the European visitors, giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However, as the months passed, the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests, who were tricking and stealing from them. Finally the locals decided to sto p helping. Without food or any way to leave the island, Columbus’ group was soon in serious trouble.Luckily for Columbus, he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship. It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky. The book, written by a well-known German scientist, said there would be a total lunar eclipse (月食) on the evening of February 29, 1504 and how long it would last.Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting, Columbus told them his god was angry because the local people were no longer giving food. So his god would take away the moon to punish them. At the moment Columbus finished talking, just as he had planned, the moon began disappearing.The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted. But first, Columbus’ god had to return the moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship. Knowing the moon would stay completely hidden for about 48 minutes, Columbus returned just before the moon began to reappear. From that day on, until they finally left, Columbus and his men no longer had any trouble getting the food they needed.( ) 1.

I didn’t even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister.I could never understand what the attraction(吸引) of the house was, even for my parents, who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book. The woman in the house, my father’s distant cousin, was a terrible cook and her food was inedible.One day, when I was wondering around the garden behind the house, I noticed a wooden house which had clearly been abandoned(被遗弃的). As I walked towards it, I heard a noise, like an animal moving hurriedly away. Then I saw a man with a long beard standing at the door. I was greatly surprised.“Please don’t tell them you saw me,” he said. “They never use this place, and I have nowhere else to live.” “Don’t worry.” I said. “I won’t tell anyone. But are you all right out here?”I mean—do you have enough to eat? The old man shook his head.The same evening, I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and, while no one was looking, emptied some of the food into it. Later, I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man, whose name I had discovered was Taff.I had never seen anything else as lonely as the smile of satisfaction on Taff’s face when he ate the food.

Suddenly, a warning of a strong storm was announced, so all rushed to their boats. Yet, Love did not wish to run away quickly. There was so much to do. But as the clouds darkened, Love realized it was time to leave. But there were no boats to use. Love looked around with hope.Just then Richness was passing by Love in a large boat. Love shouted, “Richness, can you take me wi th you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”Love decided to ask Vanity(虚荣) who was also passing by in a beautiful boat for help. But Vanity said with a cold voice, “No, I can’t take you with me. My boat will get dirty with your mummy feet.”Sorrow passed by after some time. Again, Love asked for help. But it was useless. “No, I can’t take you with me. I am so sad. I want to be by myself.”When Happiness passed by a few minutes later, Love again called for help. But Happiness was so happy that it hardly cared about anyone else.Love was growing worried and hopeless. Just then somebody called out, “Come, Love, I will take you with me.” Love did not know who was being so kind, but jumped onto the boat happily.After getting off the boat, Love met Knowl edge. Love asked, “Knowledge, do you know who was so kind to give me a lift when no one else wished to help?”Knowledge smiled, “Oh, that was Time.”“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because o nly Time is able to understand how valuable(有价值的) Love is.”( ) 1.

We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people．Dogs save lives．They help rescuers to find living people．But dogs are big so they can't get into small spaces．So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat．How does it work? First，the rat is trained to smell people．When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals．When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive．The rat has smelled that person．Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better．Christian Linster at Cornell University—New York says，“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around．Rats are good at that．” Rats can also see in the dark．They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don't need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished，but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，“It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe．”Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building, but only after an earthquake, of course．60. In the world earthquake capitals，rats will become man's best friendsbecause they can _____．A. take the place of man's rescue jobsB. find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC. serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD. get into small spaces61. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person isalive by_________．A. the noise made by the ratB. the rat's unusual behaviorC. the signal sent by the radio on the rat's backD. the smell given off by the person62. In doing rescue jobs，_________．A. rats smell better than dogsB. dogs don't need to be trained to smell peopleC. robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells aroundD. rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots63. Rats have all the following advantages except that_________．A. they are more fantastic than other animalsB. they are less expensive to train than dogsC. they don't need electricityD. they are small and can get into small placesCYou just think you know what will make you happy. Researchers in the new science of happiness know better. They have evidence that married people on average end up being no happier than they were before the wedding. Winning the lottery(彩票) will probably reduce your pleasure in ordinary events that used to make you happy. And being in good health isn’t as much of a factor as the right genes when it comes to satisfaction.A couple of years ago, Seligman and Diener studied 222 Illinois college students to find out what the happiest 10% had in common. It turned out they were extroverts (性格外向), had more friendships and romantic relatio nships, but didn’t exercise more and didn’t feel they had more good events in their lives than those who weren’t as happy.Some of the results come as a surprise. A classic study of lottery winners and people with spinal cord(脊髓) injuries, for instance, found that neither event changed their lives as much as observers thought they would.Gilbert is looking into how accurately people predict what will make them happy. It turns out, not accurately at all, what we think will bring us pleasure—a new car, the home, teaming winning the NCAA championship,a move to California—usually doesn’t bring us as much as we expected, and the positive effect doesn’t last as long. The good news is that we also overestimate(高估) the effect of bad events.Even with data from rese arch pouring in, scientists still don’t have an easy answer to what we all want to know: How do I get long-term life satisfaction? The answers they do have are often the same ones that philosophers and priests have been giving us for centuries. It’s just nice to have them supported with enough data.64. The topic discussed in the passage is ______.A. a research on happinessB. the level of happinessC. the secrets of happinessD. the prediction of happiness65. Which of the following is the most important factor of happiness?A. the proper genesB. healthC. marriageD. unexpected money66. The happiest people have the following characters except that ______.A. they are richB. they are outgoingC. they are very sociableD. the y don’t pay more attention to exercise67. Which of the following is True according to the passage?A. We ourselves know what makes us happy the best.B. The happiest 10% in the world have nothing in common.C. People can predict the things that make them happy accurately.D. We just need to do what the philosophers and priests tell us tokeep happy.DHistory has arrivedNine-year-old Barack Obama was looking through a magazine. But the African-America boy was shocked by a series of photos. The pictures were of a black man who destroyed his skin with chemicals that might make him white.For the first time, the boy began to doubt who he was. “I stood in front of the mirror and wondered if something was wrong with me,” Obama said. However, now the boy who used to struggle with his identity（身份）doesn’t see it as a problem any more, but an advantage for his career. Obama made history by being elected as the first black president of the US. He defeated John MaCain in a landslide (压倒性旳) victory. Obama’s story st arts in opposite corners of the world. His white mother was born in the heartland of the US. His black father grew up in a tiny village in Kenya. They met during in Hawaii, but his father left the family when Obama was just two years old and his mother moved to Indonesia. At 10, Obama moved back to live with his white grandparents in Hawaii where his sense that he didn’t belong grew. At his class a white boy asked Obama if his father ate people. Out of embarrassment, Obama lied to hisclassmates that his fa ther was prince, “I kept asking who I am and I endedup trying drugs and drinking,” Obama recalled.Things came to change after the young man made friends with those witha similar background at college. Their experiences back in Africa helped Obama to finally face up to his African origin. He worked hard to becomea star at Harvard Law School and the third black senator (参议院) in US history.At the beginning of his campaign (竞选) for the White House, few people supported him. Many doubted his unusual background, which left him neither “black” enough nor white enough.But Obama turned his pain of growing up into a tool to make Americans believe: “There is not a black America, an Asian America. There’s the United States of America.”Barack Obama’s victory is “a historic victory that changed and overcame centuries of prejudice (偏见). His success helped realize Martin Luther King’s dream that a man is judged not by the color of his skin,but by the content of his character,” wrote ABC news.68. From the above passage we can know that Barack Obama was born in________.A. Kenya, AfricaB. Hawaii, the USAC. Indonesia, AsiaD. an unknown city, in Latino America69. He lied to his classmates that his father was prince because__________.A. he felt ashamed of his African originB. he had unusual background — neither black nor whiteC. his black father deserted him when he was very youngD. he didn’t have the sense of belonging70. Which of the following is arranged in correct order of time?a. Obama is the third black senator (参议院) in US history.b. Obama’s mother settled down in Indonesia with Barack Obama.c. Obama stood out among his classmates in Harvard Law School.d. Obama lived with his white grandparents in Hawaii.e. Obama’s b lack father left him and his mother.A. c, d, a, b, eB. e, d, b, c, aC. d, b, a,e, cD. e, b, d, c, a71. What does the title “History has arrived” probably mean?A. Barack Obama eventually defeated his white opponent, John MaCainin a landslide victory.B. Barack Obama’s victory has given blacks and other minorities atrue national role model.C. Barack Obama has become the first African-American President,overcoming centuries of prejudice.D. Through his great efforts, Barack Obama became the third black senatorin the US history.ELike every language, American English is full of special expressions,phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop intheir own way.Our expression today is “to face the music”. When someone says, “Well,I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planningto go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being calledin by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’tdo this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometimeor another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially aschildren. We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk toyou.” and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant businessit was!The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, youngand old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression comefrom? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, JamesFenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used byactors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got theircue (提示) to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face themusic.” And that was exactly what they did ---facing the orchestra (管弦乐队) which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened ornervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that mightbe friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. Buthe had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression“to face the music” came to mean “having to go through something, nomatter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you hadno choice.”Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When themen faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worriedabout how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shiny enough topass the inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music ofthe band as well as the inspection. What else could they do?Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facingthe results and accepting the responsibility for something that shouldnot have been done. As, for example, when a man is forced out of the armybecause he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does notplay. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave,facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.72. How many ways does the phrase “to face the music” comes from?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.73. What’s the meaning of “to face the music”?A. To face something far less pleasant.B. To face the stage.C. To face the back of one’s horse.D. To face one’s leader.74. Which of the following is a situation of facing the music?A. When we are playing basketball.B. When we are making a speech.C. When we are having a party.D. When we are talking with somebody.75. The underlined word “hostile” means __________.A. unfriendlyB. dislikeC. unkindD. unnecessary第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题，共25分)第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中旳空格里填入一最恰当旳单词.Throw the bottles and boxes of medicine out of your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least come as good news to people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing(康复) is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proved. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These waste our time, something that is quite valuable in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors (肿瘤).We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia(失眠), which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Its popularity has spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum (量子) physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance (物质) which the universe consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simpleand effective way of recovering energy. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.Opponents (反对者)of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy (化疗), losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common knowledge that except for when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. We should definitely start learning Yoga and avoid illnesses before it is too late.第五部分单词拼写（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）1.The crowd ___________（恐慌） at the sound of the explosion2.The beggar was __________（咬） in the leg by the dog when he tried to get close to the house.3.Our company ___________（雇佣） about one hundred people last year, butnow most of them have quit their job due to the high pressure.4.

It is often referred to as the “lungs of the Earth” due to its crucial role in regulating the planet’s climate. The Amazon Rainforest, located in South America, is the largest and most well-known rainforest.The rainforest ecosystem is characterized by its high levels of biodiversity.Trees, which can grow up to 100 meters tall, dominate the landscape, forming a dense canopy that blocks out most of the sunlight. This canopy, along with the thick layers of undergrowth, creates a unique habitat for countless species of plants and animals. Many of these species are not found anywhere else on the planet.One of the most remarkable aspects of the rainforest is its role in the water cycle. The lush vegetation absorbs and stores enormous amounts of water, which then evaporates back into the atmosphere. This process, known as transpiration, helps to regulate t he Earth’s climate and distribute water around the globe.However, the rainforest is under threat from human activities.

任务型阅读（一）（2014，镇江）I have lived in France for nine years, but I cannot walk down the street without being recognized(认出) as an Englishman from 50 metres away, before I open my mouth. Why?In France, the quickest way to recognize an Englishman is that he’ll be the one with the belly (肚子) and the shirt hanging out Englishmen often wear shapeless black T-shirts, either too big a too small. However, Frenchmen are more formal in dressing. Their T-shirts have collars(领子). Shorts have buttons and zips rather than drawstrings(拉绳). Shoes look expensive.Englishmen think of lunchtime as 1 pm, but for Frenchmen it is 12 o’clock, one hour earlier. This may explain the sad looks if an Englishman arrives at a local restaurant at 1:30 pm. At that time most restau rants don’t have waiters. All the cooking and serving may be done by the boss and his wife. When you are shown to your table, just sit there and wait. Don’t wave your hands to the waiters. Englishmen think guests should do something to make the waiters pay attention to them. But in France some bread and water will come first then the waiters will take your order according to the rhythm(节奏) of the restaurant. Have enough patience(耐心)!阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格，每空一词。

One 68-year-old woman runs thee times a week. She runs to lose weight. "I love to eat," she says.Running is good for health in other ways, too.

For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving .Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position .This usually happens about every five or six days.Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.1.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?A. Sending information for weather forecast.B. Taking photographs of the Earth.C. Sending TV pictures.D. Providing food for airplane pilots.2.What’s the speed the earth rotates at?A.35,880 kilometers per hour.B.335,880 kilometers per hour.C.11,000 kilometers per hour.D.110,000 kilometers per hour3.Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?A. In order to take photographs.B. In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit.C. In order to move away from its orbit.D. In order to send television pictures.。

阅读理解（一）A little stream ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until it reached desert. The stream then thought, “I’ve been through countless difficulties.I should have no problem crossing this desert!” But as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean in the end,” she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice came, “If a breeze(微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly,but I cannot.”That’s because you can’t give up what you are. If you like to do it, and let yourself evaporate(蒸发) into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean.” Said the desert.“Give up what I am n ow and disappear into the breeze? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before.“The breeze can carry the vapor(水蒸气) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form, a river again to continue its course.” explained the desert very patiently.“And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes,” cont inued the desert.Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to overcome(克服) the difficulties in your life to head for the success, you should also change the way you used to be.( ) 1.

From the passage we know that the stream _______ in the end.A. cross the desertB. stopped her journeyC. failed to reach the oceanD. disappeared in the air（二）A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow(乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain(鄙视).“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(评价) abou t his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.The swan pretended(假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.( ) 1. What’s the correct order of the following events?a.

What does the story tell us?A. No pains, no gains.B. The early bird catches the worm.C. Pride goes before a fall.D. Practice makes perfect.（三）Here’s something people don’t often think about: Helping helps even w hen there’s not a problem.Getting in the habit of giving and receiving help builds good relationships. It makes us feel more care. It stops stress from building because we kno w someone else is thinking about us. And if there is a problem, we’re sharing it before it gets too big. It just feels great to help.Try these small practices at home and see how they make you feel:＊Help your little brother or sister with a homework problem.＊Help your dad prepare dinner.＊Help your mom carry living goods.＊Offer to do a chore that’s not usually yours “just because.”There’s more to it than just feeling good: Kindness is contagious. It can create more kindness. So you might start to notice your family (or friends) reaching out to help more.Just don’t fall into the trap(陷阱) of expectation(期待). If we help out only because we expect the other person to do something in return, we will probably end up feeling disappointed and angry instead of happy and fulfilled. So decide to help simply because of the positive feelings it creates. Then, when someone else does something nice for you (and it will happen!), it’s a wonderful surprise.Giving and receiving is one of the most basic friendship skills. With a good network of supportive people, we are less stressed. We feel loved and understood, so we’re better able to solve problems, bounce back from disappointments, and try again.( ) 1. How do you feel if you are getting in the habit of giving and receiving help?A. Think of more care.B. Feel stress from building.C. Feel more care.D. Fall into the trap.( ) 2. How to build nice relationships according to the passage?A. Help your dad prepare dinner.B. Get in the habit of giving and receiving help.C. Stops stress from building.D. End up feeling angry instead of happy.( ) 3. Which of the following is not true?A. We help out only because we expect the other person in return.B. It’s one of the most basic friendship skills to give and receive.C. It just makes us feel great to help others.D. It’s helpful to help even when there’s not a problem.( ) 4. What does the underlined word “contagious” mean in the passage?A. 会感染的B. 会疏导的C.会蔓延的D. 会熏陶的( ) 5. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. Making Help a HabitB. Help Mom Carry Goods.C. Help Others With Homework.D. Love and Understand（四）Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours,” replied Pablo. Martin asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?” “I have enough for my family,” Pablo said. “And what do you do with the rest of your day?” asked Martin. “I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my fr iends and play cards, I have a full and busy life.” Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.“Then what?” asked Pablo. “Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,” replied Martin. “How long will that take?” asked Pablo.Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.“And then what” asked Pablo.“Well, that’s the best part,” Martin said. “You will be able to retire, buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards.”( ) 1.

But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me.It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan.First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 pm was not early.

Taking one end, I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden.I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police.It was already eleven o'clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer.After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 am. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn't be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year.( ) 1. Why did the man feel nervous?A.

Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain.At first, the local people on the island were very kind to the European visitors, giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However, as the months passed, the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests, who were tricking and stealing from them. Finally the locals decided to stop helping. Without food or any way to leave the island, Columbus’ group was soon in serious trouble.Luckily for Columbus, he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship. It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky. The book, written by a well-known German scientist, said there would be a total lunar eclipse (月食) on the evening of February 29, 1504 and how long it would last.Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting, Columbus told them his god was angry because the local people were no longer giving food. So his god would take away the moon to punish them. At the moment Columbus finished talking, just as he had planned, the moon began disappearing.The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted. But first, Columbus’ god had to return the moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship. Knowing the moon would stay completely hidden for about 48 minutes, Columbus returned just before the moon began to reappear. From that day on, until they finally left, Columbus and his men no longer had any trouble getting the food they needed.( ) 1.

They caused their own problems.（七）When I was a child, my parents often took me to an old house in the thick forest. No other children ever stayed there. I didn’t even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister.I could never understand what the attraction(吸引) of the house was, even for my parents, who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book. The woman in the house, my father’s distant cousin, was a terrible cook and her food was inedible.One day, when I was wondering around the garden behind the house, I noticed a wooden house which had clearly been abandoned(被遗弃的). As I walked towards it, I heard a noise, like an animal moving hurriedly away. Then I saw a man with a long beard standing at the door. I was greatly surprised.“Please don’t tell them you saw me,” he said. “They never use this place, and I have nowhere else to live.” “Don’t worry.” I said. “I won’t tell anyone. But are you all right out here?”I mean—do you have enough to eat? The old man shook his head.The same evening, I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and, while no one was looking, emptied some of the food into it. Later, I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man, whose name I had discovered was Taff.I had never seen anything else as lonely as the smile of satisfaction on Taff’s face when he ate the food. From then on, my visits to the old house had a purpose, and I enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay.( ) 1. How did the writer feel about staying in the old house at first?A.

Suddenly, a warning of a strong storm was announced, so all rushed to their boats. Yet, Love did not wish to run away quickly. There was so much to do. But as the clouds darkened, Love realized it was time to leave. But there were no boats to use. Love looked around with hope. Just then Richness was passing by Love in a large boat. Love shouted, “Richness, can you take me wi th you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”Love decided to ask Vanity(虚荣) who was also passing by in a beautiful boat for help. But Vanity said with a cold voice, “No, I can’t take you with me. My boat will get dirty with your mummy feet.”Sorrow passed by after some time. Again, Love asked for help. But it was useless. “No, I can’t take you with me. I am so sad. I want to be by myself.”When Happiness passed by a few minutes later, Love again called for help.
