(8分)阅读理解The history of the United States is a history of people on the move. The Native Americans came to North America thousands of years ago. Some of them built villages and stayed there; but many moved from place to place.The first travelers from Europe came to live in an unknown land. At first, they stayed near the coast, but then a few brave men went west, far into the country. Two of them were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. In 1804, they stated on their long journey from St. Lois, Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean. They followed the Missouri River west, went across the Rocky Mountains, and followed the Columbia River to the Pacific. Then, they turned around, and traveled back to St. Louis.During the next 150 years, millions of poor people came from the old cities of Europe. They built the new cities of US, and farmed the land. But they did not always stay in their new cities or on their farms. Many people moved on, deeper and deeper into the new land. Some followed religious leaders like Joseph Smith. He and his followers the Mormons(魔门教徒), built Salt Lake City in Utah. Others went to look for gold. After the California Gold Rush in 1849, San Francisco grew from a village to a city in only a few years.People are still moving to the US and finding new homes there. Up to 1 million people come into the United States from Mexico in one year. At the same time, many more arrive from the Pacific nations and regions—from the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and also from Central and South America. The history of the US is still on the move.(1)Which of the following is NOT true about settlers from Europe?A . They came to North America thousands of years ago.B . Joseph Smith and his followers built Salt Lake City in Utah.C . They didn't always stay in their new cities or on their farm.D .

Central AmericaD . South Africa(3)Which of the following pictures describes the route of Lewis and Clark's journey?A .B .C .D .(4)From the underlined sentence, we can infer that ____.A . Americans will go on moving here and there in her country.B . Americans will ask more people from other countries to go west to discover something good.C .

Over 100,000 wildfires burn each year in America. Russia has 20,000 to 35,000 wildfires every year. Australia has on average 60,000 each year. These fires destroy(损害)huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes.Many experts believe there are several reasons for this sudden increase in fires. The first reason is climate(气候)change. Recent weather has been warmer and drier. This leads to dangerous fire conditions.When lightening strikes(发生雷电),dry grass easily catches fire. Hot winds add to the problem. The wind spreads a fire quickly. In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer in a century. In just one month, 500 fires destroyed over 2,000 homes. Some people lost their lives.Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fire. They didn't allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result, today many forests have thicker vegetation(植被).Thicker vegetation means more fuel(燃料)for fires. Also, without fires from time to time, forests become overcrowded and unhealthy. Some trees are dead. The dead wood then easily catches fire. So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices.Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of a healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow more fires to burn naturally. Sometimes, fire fighters even start fires to get rid of(去除)dead wood. Of course, they carefully control the fires. The fire thins out old trees. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore, if a fire is not a serious threat(威胁)to people, firefighters may let it burn naturally.(1)Why did Russia have so many fires in one month in 2010?A . Because lightening spread the fire.B .

(6分)What do you do if you're stranded(处于困境的)on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.Body signals(信号)Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(弯曲)your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.Smoke signalsThe smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.Ground-to-air signalsIt's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:F "I need food and water."II "I need medicine."I "I am badly hurt."X" I am unable to move from here."Pilots' repliesIf the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?(1)Which picture means "it's not safe land"?A .B .C .D .(2)What can we learn from the passage?A . Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".B . If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.C . If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".D . The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.(3)What is the passage mainly about?A . The explanation of building signals on an island.B . The importance of making signals on an island.C . Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.D . Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island5. (8分)阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
