AOn February 14th many people in the world celebrate an unus ual holiday, St. Valentine's Day, a special day for lovers. The origin of this holiday is uncertain but according to one story it gets its name from a Christian named Valentine who lived in Rome during the 3rd century A.D. His job was to perform marr iages for Christian couples. Unfortunately the Emperor of Ro me didn't allow Christian marriages. So they had to be perfor med in secret(秘密地). Finally Valentine was arrested and put into prison. While he was in prison he fell in love with the daughter of the prison guard. After one year the Emperor offered to release(释放) Valentine if he would stop performing Christian marriages.Valentine refused and so he was killed in February, 270 A.D. Before he was killed Valentine sent a love letter to the daught er of the prison guard. He signed the letter "from your Valentin e". That was the first Valentine.Today Valentines are cards usually red and shaped like heart s with messages of love written in them. On Valentine's Day t ens of millions of people send and receive Valentines. Wheth er it is an expensive heart-shaped box of chocolates from a secret admirer or a simple h and-made card from a child, a Valentine is a very special message of love.1、The passage is mainly about ________.A. a special holidayB. one possible origin of St. Valentine's DayC. the love story of a Christian called ValentineD. what is Valentine today2、Valentine was put into prison because _________.A. he didn't allow Christian marriagesB. he performed marriages for Christian couples openlyC. he performed marriages for Christian couples, which was a gainst the king's wishD. he sent a love letter to the daughter of the prison guard3、Which of the following about Valentines is TRUE?A. Valentines are cards usually red.B. Valentines are shaped like hearts.C. There are messages of love written in Valentines.D. all of the above4、People send Valentines to each other nowadays ________.A. to show their love and affectionB. to celebrate Valentine's birthdayC. to surprise othersD. to show how great love isBIn the United States, it is not customary(习惯) to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you tel ephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having bre akfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very import ant and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is at tached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone r eceives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. g uests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before th e party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointme nt too far in advance because plans which are made for a dat e more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderst andings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would t hink of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it wo uld be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a f ew words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.5、What is the main idea of this passage? ________A. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning a nd in sleeping hours in the U.S.B. The role of time in social life over the world.C. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same. 6、Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an a ppointment with your friend?A. at 7:00 am.B. at 4:00 pm.C. at the midnight.D. at 4:00 am.7、Which of the following statements is true according to the pas sage? ________A. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four d ays before the party date.B. There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well i n advance in the U.S.A..D. Promptness is valued highly in American life.8、From the passage we can safely infer that _______.A. it's a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC. it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business partyD. if a person is late for a date, he needn't make some explan ationCSixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the Uni ted States. She spoke English very well. Though she was ver y happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales(称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn't lift it up. The ma n behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage."What's wrong with this girl?" He said, "Why doesn't she hurry up?" He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her bes t English she said, "Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, wh y can't you give me a hand with my luggage?"The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quic kly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was lo oking at him with disapproval.9、Maria's story happened ________.A. when she was leaving AmericaB. on her way back to Santo DomingoC. before she left the USAD. when she arrived at the airport10、"Why are you so upset?" Maria said to the man. She wanted t o tell him that he should not be ________.A. surprisedB. sadC. unhappyD. sorry11、"Everyone was looking at him with disapproval." This sentence means that the people around felt ____.A. worried about MariaB. worried about the manC. sorry for Maria's mannersD. sorry for the man's manners12、The author mentioned Maria's age at the beginning of the stor y in order to show that ________.A. she was young but behaved properlyB. she would not have left home aloneC. everyone around her was wrongD. it was not good that nobody offered to help herDThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, w hich we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achiev ed in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It sho uld be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than i ts foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievem ent of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new sh ort-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or th e entire school year, or they could even extend for several ye ars. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never all ow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability t o grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates gro w, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We s hould never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.13、New short-term goals are built upon ________.A:a daily basisB:your achievement in a weekC:current activitiesD:the goals that have been completed14、When we complete each step of our goals, ________.A:we will win final successB:we are overwhelmedC:we should build up confidence of successD:we should have strong desire for setting new goals 15、What is the main idea of this passage? ________A:Life is a dynamic thing.B:We should set up long-term goals.C:Different kinds of goals in life.D:The limitation of long-term goals.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

如图为某山地的局部等高线图,比例尺为1∶5 000,等高距为30米,AB为空中索道。
据此完成下面小题.1。
乘索道上行的方向是( )A。

比例尺不变,适当扩大图幅 B. 水平比例尺不变,适当增大垂直比例尺C. 比例尺不变,适当缩小图幅D。
垂直比例尺不变,适当增大水平比例尺【答案】1。
C 2。
D 3。
B【解析】本题考查等高线地形图。
【1题详解】根据经过乙处陡崖的河流分析该处地形应为山谷,故符合等值线“凸高为低"的原则;故判断B点所在的等高线较A处高,故乘索道上行方向为从A向B方向,结合指向标,为正北方向.故本题选择C。
【2题详解】图示等值线重合表示陡崖有甲、乙两处,且乙处有河流经过,故在乙处形成瀑布;而欣赏瀑布应位于适当距离仰视,故选丁处观赏最佳。
故本题选择D.【3题详解】体现陡崖“险、奇”效果的剖面图,根据绘制地形剖面图的一般步骤可知,一般情况下水平比例尺不变,水平基线与剖面线等长,D错;垂直比例尺视图中地形的起伏状况而定,一般来说,为了使剖面图所表达的地形起伏更加明显,垂直比例尺大多都要适当放大,B对,AC 错。
故本题选择B。

4. 若图中等值线为等坡度线(坡度值相同点连成的线),则下列河段,流速最快的是A。
A B. B C. C D。

There was full of thick smoke.I began to run, but as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around. The floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle(包) of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from thesmoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a doorway in fire, then I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet burned me terrible, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry, I nearly dropped it in my surprise. Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dr ess and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.She was the Mayor’s wife, and I had saved her baby.21. When the fire arose in the middle of the night, the author was _______.A. at homeB. sleepingC. sitting in bedD. at school22.

He put the bundle over his face and ran in order to ______.A. save the babyB. call for helpC. protect his faceD. run quicklyBIt was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution,the problem is worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing(制造业) and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution.Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect”--- holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few d egrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York,Boston,Miami,and New Orleans will be under water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the atmosphere isblocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen, though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely. Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.24. According to the passage,people today think that air pollution________.A. may not have an effect on the entire earthB. exists not only in those large citiesC. causes huge damage in the countrysideD. is not so serious as it used to be25.

Let the sunshine in falling leaves, flowers, and cold winds. For many people late autumn can be a season of depression.Those who suffer from “the autumn blue” are often extremely tired, lack energy, need more sleep, feel increased appetite and gain weight. “The exact cause of this condition, often called seasonal depression or seasonal affective disorder(SAD), is not known yet,” says Chen Jue, associate professor at Shanghai Mental Health Center. “But recent studies show that weather change is influential and strongly suggest that this condition is caused by changes in the availability(得到)of sunlight.”One theory is that with decreased exposure(曝露)to sunlight, the biological clock that regulates mood, sleep, and hormones is delayed, running more slowly in winter. Exposure to light may reset the biological clock. Another theory is that brain chemicals that transmit(传送)information between nerves, called neurotransmitters (for example, serotonin), may be altered in individuals with SAD. It is believed that exposure to light can correct these imbalances. “It is a sad season, but you can try to make it happy. Remember, spring always lives in your heart ,” Chensays. “Going outdoors to get some sunlight may reduce the tension that brings you the low spirits. Relax at work. Stretch, breathe deeply. Take a tea break. Think of your next vacation. Color treatment also works in handling low mood. Music also plays a role in treating autumn blues.”32.
