(2009·龙岩毕业班质量检查)

If you travel to a new exhibit at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, you will have chances to see some meat－eating plants. Take bladderworts(狸藻类植物), a kind of such plant, for example. They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond. “But these are the fastest－known killers of the plant kingdom, and able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door！”

Once the trap door closes on the victim, the enzymes(酶) similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insect. When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.

Meat－eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn’t offer much food value. In such conditions, these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needs over thousands of years. North America has more such plants than any other continents.

Generally speaking, the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye, like pitcher plants, which get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers(a container like a bottle) full of nectar(花蜜)．

The Asian pitcher plant, for example, has bright colors and an attractive half－closed lid. Curious insects are tempted to come close and take a sip, and then slide down the slippery(光滑的) slope to their deaths.

Hair－like growths along the pitcher walls ensure that nothing can escape, and the digestive enzymes can get to work. A tiny insect can be digested in a few hours, but a fly takes a couple of days.

Some of these pitchers are large enough to hold two gallons. Meat－eating plants only eat people in science fiction movies, but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn’t a good place to get a drink.

41．From the first paragraph, we learn that bladderworts can ______.

A. kill an insect in a second

B. capture an insect in 1/50 of a second

C. be found floating on a quiet lake

D. digest a fly in a few hours

42．If the trap door of a meat－eating plant is closed, the plant is ______.

A. fooling insects into taking a sip

B. producing nectar

C. tempting insects to come close

D. enjoying a dinner

43．Meat－eating plants can grow in wet and poor soil because they ______.

A. can get nutrition from animals

B. don’t need much food value

C. can make the most of such conditions

D. have developed digestive enzymes

44．What can be captured by meat－eating plants for food?

A. A child.

B. A dog.

C. A little bird.

D. A little fish.

[答案]

本文是一篇科普文章，介绍了以动物(主要是昆虫类)为食的食虫草。

41．B。由第一段最后一句话可知B项是正确的。

42．D。根据第二段第一句“Once the trap door closes on the victim, the enzymes...slowly digest the insect.”可知它在消化昆虫，即在享用食物。因此D项符合题意。

43．A。根据第三段第二句话可知，这种植物能够生长在这些地方是因为它们以昆虫为食。所以A项正确。

44．C。根据文章最后一句话可知，这种植物可能会捕食小鸟。

(2008·全国Ⅰ卷)

It is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch－and－release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.

—When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.

Don’t use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.

—Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.

—Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.

—Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.

—Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.

With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.

45．People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they ______.

A. don’t want it to die

B. hope it will grow quickly

C. don’t want to have it as food

D. want to practice their fishing skills

46．Which of the following will probably make a fish ill?

A. Taking the hook off it.

B. Removing its scales.

C. Touching its eyes.

D. Holding it in your hand.

47．A proper way to release a fish is to ______.

A. move it in water till it can swim

B. take the hook out of its stomach

C. keep it in a bucket for some time

D. let it struggle a little in your hand

48．What is the purpose of the text?

A. To show how to enjoy fishing.

B. To persuade people to fish less often.

C. To encourage people to set fish free.

D. To give advice on how to release fish.

[答案]

本文主要讲述如何提高钓到的小鱼放养成活率。

45．C。细节理解题。从文章第一段的首句“It is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat.”可知钓到的鱼太小，不想带回家煮着吃。

46．B。细节理解题。从文中第二条建议“Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.”可知刮掉鱼鳞会让鱼生病，减少成活的机会。

47．A。细节判断题。从第四条建议“Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.”可知答案，其余三种情况都是错误的做法。

48．D。推测作者的写作意图题。从文章第一段最后一句“The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.”(中心句)及文章最后一段的总结句“With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.”可知写这篇文章的目的是就如何放养钓到的小鱼，使他们的成活率更高提出了一些建议。

(2009·天津)

Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation(感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.

Psychologists have known that one person’s perception(感知) of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm”or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother”carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.

Feelings of “warmth”and “coldness”in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study have been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold”is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.

To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses(假设), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A”based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.

“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly，”says Bargh.

49．According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ______.

A. the visitors to his office

B. the psychology lessons he has

C. his physical feeling of coldness

D. the things he has bought online

50．The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ______.

A. adults should develop social skills

B. babies need warm physical contact

C. caregivers should be healthy adults

D. monkeys have social relationships

51．In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to ______.

A. evaluate someone’s personality

B. write down their hypotheses

C. fill out a personal information form

D. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively

52．We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences

B. feeling of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide

C. physical temperature affects how we see others

D. capable persons are often cold to others

53．What would be the best title of the passage?

A. Drinking for Better Social Relationships

B. Experiments of Personality Evaluation

C. Developing Better Drinking Habits

D. Physical Sensations and Emotions

[答案]

最近的心理学研究发现，人们对“温暖”或者“寒冷”的感受可以改变人们的情感。

49．C。细节理解题。由文章第一段的第三句话可知，温暖的感觉激发温暖的情感，而冷饮在手则会阻止你做出不明智的决定，因此可以说一个人的情感可能会受到冷的感觉的影响。

50．B。细节理解题。在试验中，猴子喜欢去靠近布制的“妈妈”而不喜欢“金属线”做的“妈妈”。这使心理学家们强调养育者应该让孩子们多接触一些令人感觉温暖的东西，以帮助孩子们成长为有正常社交技能的健康的成年人，故B项正确。

51．A。细节理解题。由文中倒数第二段第四句中的“After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of ‘Person A’ based on a particular description.”可知选A。在试验中，学生被要求评价某人的性格。

52．C。推理判断题。全文都在论述人们对“温暖”或“寒冷”的感觉可以影响人们对事物的评价。因此，物理温度会影响我们看待他人的方式。因此选C。

53．D。主旨大意题。本文主要介绍的是人们对物理温度的感觉对人们情绪的影响，D 项概括性比较强。

(2009·南京高三调研)

Everyone has heard of the San Andreas fault(断层), which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?

Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, and all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings in the area were almost destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, releasing some strong smell of chemicals.

The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools(急流和漩涡). Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but the severity of the earthquakes were shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New Y ork City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, D．C.

Scientists now know that America’s two major faults are essentially different. The San Andreas is a horizontal(水平的) boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the two masses make a sudden move.

The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical fault; at some point, possibly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motion causes earthquakes in the

region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.

Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake will occur.

54．This passage is mainly about ______.

A. the New Madrid fault

B. the San Andreas

C. the causes of faults

D. current scientific knowledge about faults

55．Which of the following pictures best describes the type of the New Madrid fault?

56．This passage implies that ______.

A. horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faults

B. vertical faults are more dangerous

C. a lot of people would die if the 1811 New Madrid earthquakes happened today

D. the volcanoes that caused the New Madrid fault are still alive.

[答案]

本文讲述了密苏里州的一个很大的断层the New Madrid fault的起因及其危害性。

54．A。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了the New Madrid fault这个断层的起因和危害性。因此正确答案是A。

55．B。由第五段内容可知，the New Madrid fault是个垂直的断层，它可能是很多年前火山将岩石从地底下挤向地面而形成的一个断层。由此可以判断B项所示的图正确。

56．C。由第三段第三句话“Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811...”可知答案。

(2008·皖南八校二联)

Houses fall down. Trees fall over. Large holes form in the ground. Could Alaska be sinking? That’s what some villagers in Alaska have been asking themselves recently and scientists think they know why. Warmer temperatures may be causing Alaska’s frozen ground to thaw(解冻)．About 85 percent of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost(永久冻结带). Permafrost supports the ground above it—including trees, houses, and roads. But why is the permafrost thawing?

Some scientists say that human－caused pollution is leading to global warming. And most scientists agree that Alaska has been getting warmer. They say that the warmer temperature is causing permafrost to thaw in some areas. The thawing permafrost can cause problems for people, plants, and animals.

The collapsing(倒塌)is a problem in the villages in Alaska which are built on permafrost, and some of them may have to move to safer ground, where there is no permafrost.

The Alaskan town of Glennallen saw its old post office collapse. And, according to James Walters, a permafrost expert at the University of Northern Iowa, house－moving companies have been very busy.

“Melting permafrost can also destroy trees and forests，” Walters said. “When holes in the ground form, trees fall into them and die. This could turn a forest into a swamp(沼泽), and animals which need the forests will have to move elsewhere.”

The melting could cause severe problems. Walters said, “This could take hundreds of years,

but in the end Alaska will look quite different from what it looks like now.”

57．Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?

A. Alaska—A Frozen Land.

B. Is Alaska Sinking?

C. Pollution and Global Warming.

D. Alaska is Polluted.

58．The main reason why permafrost is thawing is that ______.

A. the temperature in Alaska is rising

B. people in Alaska don’t take care of permafrost

C. too many houses are built on permafrost

D. people in Alaska polluted permafrost

59．The following are the results of melting permafrost EXCEPT ______.

A. holes form in the ground

B. a forest will be turned into a swamp

C. some animals have to go elsewhere

D. more water will be needed by people and animals

60．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. When permafrost melts, houses will fall down.

B. House－moving companies are busy because their houses are in danger.

C. To stop permafrost melting is a very difficult problem.

D. Most of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost.

本文讲述了由于全球气候变暖导致的冰冻地带融化，阿拉斯加地区出现房屋、树木倒塌，地洞形成等情况，给人们的生活造成了很大的影响。

57．B。主旨大意题。全文讲述了阿拉斯加地区由于冰冻地带融化，出现房屋、树木倒塌，地洞形成等情况，所以用“阿拉斯加在下降吗”作题目，能起到画龙点睛的作用。

58．A。由文章第一段最后一句“Warmer temperatures may be causing Alaska’s frozen ground to thaw(解冻)．”可以得出答案。

59．D。细节推断题。A、B、C三个选项在文章第一段与第六段中可以找到。

60．B。正误判断题。由第五段中“house－moving companies have been very busy.”以及常识可以判断，搬家公司是给别人搬家而不是他们自己的房子有危险。

their own daughter? I wonder what things are in other homes.85.______

[答案]

76．either→neither。“neither...nor...”表示“既不……也不……”，即作者既没有兄弟，也没有姐妹。

77．去掉any。in other words是固定搭配，表示“换句话说”。

78．make前加to。(that) they can (do)是定语从句，修饰先行词all，后面的不定式作目的状语。

79．did→do。全文都是一般现在时，叙述的是现在的客观事实。

80．on→to或者devote→spend。devote to和spend on都是固定搭配。

81．subject→subjects。subject“学科”为可数名词，根据句中的all可知表示的是复数意义。

82．a→the。the same是固定用法，表示“相同的”。

83．去掉about。about后面没有宾语，因此要去掉。

84．and→or。此处的指代对象是作者一个人，因此表示的是选择关系，而不是并列关系。

85．what→how。作者想知道其他家庭的情况“如何”。

Dear Amy，

I am a student from Xinhua Middle School. I am very sorry to have heard of your present situation that you are so bitter after having a lung cancer.

At present, ACS decides that it will give you three cents when you receive a letter. That will offer you so much courage. I hope you will make efforts to overcome all kinds of difficulty, no matter how hard it is. Y ou are sure to make it.

I will try my best to ask all my friends, schoolmates and relatives to write letters to you, which may help you. It will give you more courage to live on.

May you recover soon.

Y ours，

Li Hua
