Her young son, Timmy, hated to go to bed at night. Mrs. White read to him and gave him warm milk, but Timmy refused to fall asleep. No matter what she did, Timmy wanted to stay up. One day Mrs.White had an idea.Ever since Uncle Charlie had taken him sailing, Timmy wanted to be a sailor. He loved fishing with his father.He loved to watch the waves wash against his hair. “some day,” Timmy said, “I’m going to have my own boat. AndI’m going to be the captain.”So Mrs. White had a boat built —one that could be hung from the ceiling in her son’s bedroom.

Timmy loved it. 34 Finally Timmy was happy to go to bed.31. Who once took Timmy sailing?A. Mrs. White.B. Mr. White.C. Uncle Charlie.D. The boat builder.32.

What is the best title for this passage? A. How insects communicate with each other B. How insects communicate with willow trees C. How willow trees communicate with each other D. How willow trees send out a special smell Believe it or not, our eyes are the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. Have you ever noticed it? Alice, Sue and Simonare having a ChineseNew Year Party atSimon’s house at 6p.m. Wear something red!John was driving home from work. Suddenly he stopped the car. He could hardly believe what he saw. A camel was standing in the middle of the road! Later he learned the camel had run away from the zoo. What a story John would have to tell!CEvery living thing on Earth is either a plant or an animal, right? Wrong! Many organisms (有机体) in our world are neither. Some of them float through the air, and some lie hidden in the ground. They do not need sunlight to survive, and if the weather becomes too cold, they can become inactive until conditions improve.What are these? They are called fungi(菌类), and you see them almost every day. Many kinds of fungi seem disgusting, such a s the green black things that appear on the food which are left too long in the refrigerator(冰箱). But other kinds are not so bad. For example, the yeast(酵母)that is used to make bread rise and mushrooms (蘑菇) are both fungi.What makes fungi different from plants and animals? An animal can move around by itself. Fungi get around too, but they don't have feet, wings, or tails. They have to wait for wind or some other outside force to move them. Plants are different from fungi because they have chlorophyll(叶绿素), It helps them make food from the energy in sunlight. Fungi do not have chlorophyll.Some fungi are bad, while others are not. Some fungi cause diseases, such as athlete's foot(脚癣), which makes feet uncomfortable. Other kinds of fungi can be used to make medicines, which have saved many lives.Fungi clean up more than wounds(伤口), though. They are the world's first recyclers. Without fungi, our world would be a mess. Since fungi cannot make their own food as plants do, they must get their food elsewhere. Many fungi get their food from dead plants. They break them down and turn them into soil. The fungi get a meal, and the world gets a housecleaning !( ) 39. What does the underlined word "disgusting" most probably mean?A. strongB. unpleasantC. activeD. small( ) 40. According to the passage, .A. fungi can move everywhere by themselvesB. fungi are unable to survive in cold conditionsC. some fungi can make food from the energy in sunlightD. some fungi are useful to humans and the environment( ) 41. Where can you most probably find this passage?A. In a social report.B. In a biology book.C. In a geography magazine.D. In a farming book.DMany expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel "Alice in Wonderland" in detail.The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice chases(追赶) him, and that is where her adventures begin.In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing(令人困惑的)situation. However, usually we use thisexpression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction(分神). It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares(野兔) have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating(交配) season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common. But don't tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will react(反应) !Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.( ) 42. Which of the following situations best fits the expression to fall down a rabbit ho le ?A. When Tom was taking a walk in the forest, he suddenly fell over onto the ground.B. When Mary turned on the TV, she chose to watch the talk show programme as usual.C. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in many reports on superstars.D. When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea.( ) 43. According to the passage, the expression to be mad as a March Hare.A. describes how hares behave in MarchB. shows hares' characteristics in a scientific wayC. is used more often than the expression mad as a HatterD. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter( ) 44. Which character in "Alice in Wonderland" wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation?A. Alice.B. The March Hare.C. The Hatter.D. The Queen of Hearts.( )45. The writer mainly wants to in this passage.A. introduce a famous novel and its language styleB. introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novelsC. explore some English expressions from a famous novelD. explain why many expressions in English come from novel第四部分词汇检测(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文,写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。

They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price (价格). They felt unhappy and returned to their village."I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day."The tractor was too small " Uncle Wang said without thinking. "We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!""I agree!" said Uncle Li. "How foolish (傻的) we were !"( )1.

Which of the following is true?A. The two farmers found out why they were poor.B. The two farmers will soon get rich.C. Neither of the farmers is clever.D. The two farmers decided to buy a truck.BAlthough I had left school against the advice of my teacher, I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent, I put up with it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter’s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and startedwriting poetry at home.By chance, I won some prizes and rewards for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said, “No, I couldn’t do that.” Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she advised me that I should do it the following day.So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that I could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly(支吾其词地) told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and they asked about the matter on future.( )5. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraphs above this text?A. The writer’s unhappy childhood.B. The poor teaching quality of the writer’s school.C. The writer’s leaving school against his teacher’s advice.D. Whether it was worth leaving school for job training.( )6.

After his success, he __________.A. decided to get a good jobB. decided to continue his studies in literature at the evening schoolC. decided to return to the school he once leftD. began to feel very important and proudCFor a long time, humans have used technology (科技) to study the world around us, and Mars is the latest place we’re using machines to explore. Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.Early last month, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines’ safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the rob ots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robotexplorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.( )8. ________ is the latest place we’re using machines to explore.A. MarsB. SunC. EarthD. Moon( )9. For a long time humans think ________.A. they can surely find life on MarsB. there may be life on MarsC. it’s too late for them to explore Mars nowD. Mars is the only planet that has life on it( )10. The two robots ________.A. have found out that it is warm and wet on MarsB. were sent to Mars to find some stonesC. were the first two American robots that landed on MarsD. are the only machines that have landed on Mars so far( )11. The third paragraph mainly tell us ________.A. it’s a very hard and dangerous trip for spaceships to MarsB. two-thirds of the spaceships sent to Mars have failedC. Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars successfullyD. Mars is called the “death planet”DIn the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses.

They worked long hours and earned $1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.()12.

One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us.

I knew dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was a wrong. When I looked at her and said, ‘Bad girl.’ She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovely dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked or tried to get away.

What a pity that John couldn't go to collegeDThere are two ways of driving in the world: if the driver's seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “lefthand driving”,as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called “righthand driving”,as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the world's population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left.Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left of the road. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each other's right. And righthand people generally got on a horse from the animal's left. Obviously, it's safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense(讲得通) for the horse to be ridden on the left.A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon(拿破仑) conquered(攻占) nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread lefthand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the righthand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies(前英国殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception(例外,除外) is Egypt, as that country was defeated(打败) by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.Some countries didn't change sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left to righthand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import(进口) cheap cars from righthand driving countries like Japan, Australia and New Zealand.So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left or righthand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.30.

People drive on the left side of the road in Egypt.C. People have known the exact reasons for driving on the left.D. Napoleon helped with the spread of lefthand driving.32. What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage?A. To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.B. To introduce the development of the two ways of driving.C. To complain about the change of the two ways of driving.D. To compare the differences of the two ways of driving.第四部分信息还原(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5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。
