一、阅读理解Passage 1When sitting down to dinner, Americans, like everybody else, can choose between using a knife and fork and using chopsticks. A beginner cannot use chopsticks quickly and easily, but eating with them is now not so uncommon to Americans as it used to be. Even small children can manage them quite well. By “chopsticks” we mean a pair of thin sticks which are held in one hand as one holds a pencil. Here is how you use them.Hold one stick in your right hand between the thumb and the first two fingers. This stick should not be moved at all when you are picking up the food. It should remain still, resting against one side of the first joint of the ring fing er. It is your other stick, called the “moving stick”, which does all the work. First you place this stick so that it rests on the first joint of the thumb. Then you move it backwards and forwards between the ends of the second and third fingers. In this way you can pick up various things.The best way to get used to chopsticks is to start with something that is not very difficult to pick up, such as big pieces of vegetables or pieces of bread. Then when you can do this easily, you can go on to other things. Witha little practice you will find that you can eat rice, peas and even peanuts quite easily.1.

But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the school' s busing company redrew its route map, eliminatingNia ' s bus altogether. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a -walking school bus a group of kids, supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together.Like the rest of us, school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costs— and finding new way to adapt. The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. For the typical American school district, bus bills total 5 percent of the budget. As administrators look to trim, busing is an inviting target, since it doesn' t affectinstruction (or test scores). More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget.Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves: according to a 1969 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2001. Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have diminished.Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling. They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which aren ‘ t always the shortest ones.There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, it'niainwnnvirbuimetoo many of theirparents decide to drive then instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks: A 2022 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill.31.The —walking school bus . II A. does not consume fuel B. aims to keep children fit C. seldom causes traffic jamsD. is popular with school kids32.In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with.A. individual schoolsB .school districtsC.teacherD.parents33.As regards walking to school, modern parents seem much concerned with the .A.time spent on the way8.changes in the routeC. kid 's physical strengthD .safety of their children34.To save money, some schools choose to.A.take the shortest routesB .shorten the school weekC.give drives better trainingD .use fuel efficient buses35.Busing cutbacks may eventually lead to.A.fierce competition among bus companiesB.more students taking public transportationC.an increase in carbon dioxide emissionsD. a decrease in the safety of school buses 36. Which of the following best describes the author' s attitude towards busing cutbacks' A.FavorableB. CriticalC. ObjectiveD. IndifferentPassage TwoPeople are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2022 can expects to live to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79. This is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity (长寿) of women, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller then -the gap is growing.A number of reasons have been proposed to accounts for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers, involved in fewer accidents).Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply.One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men.That is, they report far more illnesses. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be serious.Some researchers have suggested that men may die early because their health is more strongly related to their emotions. For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do. Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job. (Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness.Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian 晡孚L动物的)species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of conception; there are more male miscarriages流产).In human, after birth, more baby boys than baby girls die.37.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A.Men ' s lifespan remains almost unchanged.B.Researchers have found the cause of the age gapC.The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap.D.The age gap was noticed only recently.38.As is suggested in Paragraph 2, the two factors relevant to women' s longer life;are.A.diseases and road accidentsB.industrialization and work strainsC.their immunity to heart disease and refusal of alcoholD.their endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventure39.According to Paragraph3, which of the following statements is true?A.The great number of male smokers contributes to the age gap.B.The growing number of smoking women will narrow the age gap.C.Female workers are more likely to smoke than make workers.D.Smoking does not seem to affect women ' s longevity.40.Which of the following phenomena makes researchers puzzled?A.Men ' s health is more closely related to their emotions.B.Though more liable to illnesses, women still live longer.C.Men show worse symptoms than women when they fall ill.D.Quite a number of men die soon after their retirement.41.The word —edge II in Paragraph 6 means — II .A. marginB.sideC.advantageD.quality42.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The greater longevity of women remains a mystery.B .That women are healthier than men well explains their longevity.C. People are living longer as a result of industrialization. D .Women are less emotionally affected by difficulties in life. Passage ThreeMany are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature. Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants.Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor 传感器〕networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis. The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environments. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, GreenPeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and homes will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, willenable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live ina more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.43.By —human intervention II (Paragraph 2), the author refers to.A.the reduction of great energy waste in the environmentB.the grasping of straightforward opportunities availableC.acts like turning off lights when no one is in the roomD.the adoption of smart sensing and network technology44.Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they.A.have to be replaced from time to timeB.contain metals that pollute the environmentC.require automatic rechargingD are difficult and costly to maintain45.Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that.A there is energy in the environment to be utilizedB the cost of using them has been drastically reducedC modern data communication consumes little energyD their maintenance has been greatly simplified46.According to the passage, Green Peak.A is the first company to install wireless sensor networksB.promotes the application of wireless sensor networksC.supplies batteries operating on harvested energyD.benefits handsomely from communication technology47.The focus of Paragraph 4 is on the.A.replacement of batteries in harvestersB.monitoring of energy harvested from the environmentC.elimination of batteries in sensor networksD.impact of sensor networks on power supply48.Wireless sensor networks promise to.A.bring businesses high profitsB.further develop the sensing technologyC.turn motion into a major source of energyD.improve the daily lives of people worldwidePassage FourIf you haven ' t heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few month you probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about the new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have more likely encountered aggressive driving and/or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those fatalities, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer to overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percents, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increase by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores 〔琐事〕and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from assign? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major confrontation. If you are sceptible to Road Rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver ' s rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safety, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.49.The first sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that.A. people not interested in the media know little about recent happeningsB. Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few monthsC. one may be raged by media reports and wants to avoid themD.the media coined the term — Road Rage II only a few months ago50.According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, last yearA.drunk driving remained the No.1 killer on the highwayB.more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk drivingC.two thirds of drivers were killed by aggressive drivingD.41,907 people fell victim to aggressive driving51.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving?A.Increasing number of carsB.Drivers ' stress and anxietyC.Overcrowded roadsD.Rush hour traffic52.The word —spell II in Paragraph 3 means II II .A.speakB.causeC.describeDspare53.Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?ATalking while drivingB.Driving fastCYelling at another driverDSounding the horn when passing54.The last paragraph is intended to. A. tell people how to cope with Road Rage B. inform people how aggressive drivers could be C. tell people how to control themselves when angry D. warn people against eye contact with another driverPassage FiveIn the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cleverly picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial signals given out not only by his trainer, but also by the audience. Aware of the — Clever Hans II effect, Lisa Lit at the University of California and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searchers for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr Lit found, they do.Dr Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search area might contain up to three target scents, and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either drugs or explosives. Any— detectionsII made by the teamsthus had to be false.The findings reveals that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. While the sheer number of false alerts stuck Dr Lit as fascinating, it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they were much more likely to say that their dogs signaled an alert. The human handlers were not only distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that distraction to their animals— who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying—wolf II at the unconscious signal of their handlers. How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might. If a handler, for example, unconsciously — profiled II people being sniffed by a drug, or ■exiect i vg dogat an airport, false positive could abound. That is not only bad for innocent travelers, but might distract the team from catching the guilty.55.What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?A. He was as clever as people claimed.B .He was really good at counting.C.He could understand human language.D.He merely responded to human signals.56.Lisa Lit and her colleagues.A.questioned the—Clever Hans II effectB.discovered the—Clever Hans II effectC.confirmed the —Clever Hans II effectD.rejected the —Clever Hans II effect57.The dog handlers learned before the searches that.A.each search area contained three target scentsB .there was actually no target scent in the search areaC.some target scents may be labeled with a special markD. their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paper58.What was most significant about the experiment, according to Dr Lit?A.The location of the false alertsB.The regularity of the false alertsC.The number of the false alertsD.The timing of the false alerts59.It can be concluded from the experiment that.A.dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogsB.dogs may act in response to their handlers' bodily signalsC.the cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to successD.well- trained dogs can better understand their handlers' signals60.The author thinks that Dr Lit' s findings.A.should raise our concern in real lifeB.may not be useful in real situationsC.should be backed up by further evidenceD.will be widely applied in the near futurePart IV Cloze (15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)Zoos have become an important site for the preservation and protection of wildlife resources, __61__ those species that are endangered __62__, many zoos displayed live animals for public entertainment.

She often wrote to her and asked how everything was going.A year later, Ann had a happy baby. It was a boy. She and her husband named it James. They thought that it was the cleverest child in the world.After that, Mrs. Brown received lots of letters and postcards every month. They were all about James and the wonderful things he had done. There were also lots of colour photos of the baby, but there was never any news about Ann herself.Mrs. Brown always wrote to Ann and wanted to know something about Ann herself-about what Ann was doing.

When he got home, he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long.He came downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were washing up tea things in the kitchen. “These new trousers are too long, “ He said. “ They need shortening(缩短) by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything. But as soon as his mother had finished washing up, she went quietly upstairs to her son’s bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone, and shortened the trousers by two inches.The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, she, too, remembered what her brother had said.

People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their work place. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do school work anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are a part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak”with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. StateOfficials also are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use the computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything. “47.Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation mark?A. They don’t really talkB. They use the computer languageC. Laptops have speakersD.

Passage 1Scientists are learning more about the effects of stress on our bodies. Long-term stress may increase the risk of obesity(肥胖), heart disease, and even asthma, according to new research.Stressful experiences---such as mental illness in a family, unemployment, poverty, or abuse---continue to affect our health and well-being far longer than the actual event. This is becoming a major concern for public health professionals.Researchers at the University of California discovered that childhood stress could permanently affect a person’s DNA. They found that kids who went through traumatic (创伤性的) experiences at a young age had shorter telomeres(端粒)than tho se who hadn’t. Telomeres are the protective tips at the end of our DNA, and shorter telomeres are linked to a variety of health problems. The researchers concluded that early childhood trauma has a lasting impact on our overall health.In another study, scientists in Sweden measured the stress levels of 17,000 adults, and then tracked them for 11 years. The results showed that the most stressed-out participants had a 45% higher risk of developing heart disease. The study also revealed that those with stressful jobs were more likely to take sick leave due to heart problems.Furthermore, researchers in New Zealand found that children who suffered ongoing stress before the age of 15 had a higher chance of developing asthma later in life. This finding suggests that reducing stress in early childhood could have long-term health benefits.Overall, these studies emphasize the need for stress reduction strategies and interventions, particularly in high-risk populations. Whether through therapy, meditation(冥想), or lifestyle changes, it is essential that we find healthy ways to manage and cope with stress to protect our long-term health.1. According to the passage, long-term stress may lead to _______.A. mental illnessB. shorter telomeresC. unemploymentD. poverty答案:B解析:根据第一段中的“Long-term stress may increase the risk of obesity(肥胖), heart disease, and even asthma, according to new research.”可知,长期的压力可能会增加肥胖、心脏病甚至哮喘的风险,选项B中的“shorter telomeres”(更短的端粒)对应文章中提到的短端粒与健康问题有关。

第一节语言运用阅读下面的短文,然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
Some animals, such as camels and desert snakes, are incredibly good at surviving in the desert. Their adaptations (适应) 1 them to live in conditions that other creatures couldn't cope with.Camels are known for their humps, which are a store of fat that can be converted into water and energy when food and water are scarce. Their wide, tough feet help them to walk easily on sand, and their long legs allow them to take big steps to avoid sinking.Desert snakes have a special way of moving across the hot desert sand. Unlike most snakes, which push themselves off the ground with their stomach muscles, desert snakes do the opposite. They lift their stomachs off the ground to the point where they almost stand up and then they throw themselves forwards. This way of moving is very quick and allows the snake to spend less time in contact with the burning sand.1. The main topic of the passage is __________.A. adapting to desert conditionsB. the humps of camelsC. the movement of desert snakesD. the features of camels and desert snakes答案:D2. According to the passage, camels can __________.A. store water in their humpsB. convert fat into foodC. walk easily on sandD. take big steps to avoid sinking答案:C3. How do desert snakes move across the hot sand?A. By lifting their stomachs off the ground.B. By pushing themselves off the ground with their stomach muscles.C. By throwing themselves forwards quickly.D. By spending less time in contact with the sand.答案:A二、阅读理解阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
同等学力考试《英语》试题及答案
同等学力考试《英语》试题及答案一、阅读理解(一)In most plants, the water is taken in by the roots and then carried through the plant by small tubes. Some of this water is used by the plant, but a large amount is given off as water vapor. In cooler parts of the earth, this vapor forms tiny drops of water in the air. These drops meet each other, become larger and finally fall as rain. In hotter regions, however, the water often rises very high into the air without forming drops. When this very wet air meets cooler air, tiny drops of water form in a kind of cloud called fog, or mist if it is near the ground.In some deserts, the earth is usually very dry and there is not enough water for the plants. At night, however, when the temperature falls, dew(露水)often forms; and sometimes it is followed by a fog, forming so heavily that the ground may be wet in the morning as if it had rained during the night.Why does the moisture(湿气)in the air form drops? If we cool a glass filled with a so-called invisible gas used to make the air we breathe, we shall find that the gas suddenly turns into a liquid. The moisture in the air forms drops for the same reason. The air is warmed by the central heating of houses, factories, offices and cars and by burning fuel for cooking and heating. So it contains a great deal of moisture. But when the warm air meets cooler air, some of its moisture forms drops, which we see as fog or mist close to the ground, or as rain falling from clouds.1. Water vapor forms tiny drops of water when _____.A. water is given off as water vaporB. it gets too hotC. the air becomes coolerD. it rises very high into the air2. The water in the air forms drops of water in _____.A. rainB. fogC. mistD. dew3. The ground in some parts of the desert is wet in the morning because _______.A. it has rained during the nightB. dew has fallen the previous nightC. a fog forms during the nightD. tiny drops have fallen from the rain cloud4. The moisture in the air forms drops because of _____.A. the warming of the airB. the moistening of the airC. the cooling of the airD. the wetting of the air(二)Many people around the world are choosing to work from home. For example, about a fifth of American workers say they work from home at least once a week. A report in August in The Manchester Guardian says that in July 43% of British workers said they worked from home for at least some of their work time. Explanations for this trend range from inventions like the Internet to the rising costs of commuting(通勤).A recent study by William Dilger at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, studied the work habits of Americans between 2000 and 2008. He found that "telecommuting," or working from home, increases the amount of time people actually work. In his study, people who worked from home had lower salaries. However, they also worked six more minutes per day than those who commuted to the workplace.But is working at home always a good idea? A study in Sweden led by Petra Nilsson of Linköping University, found that people who worked at home often had a difficult time separating work from leisure. As one person said, "It is like a rubber band—sometimes it stretches too far and breaks." Another problem was that it was easy to work too long if there was no one to say, "It’s quitting time." The Swedish researchers found that people who work at home are not necessarily less stressed than those who go to the office.5. A fifth of American workers work from home at least _____.A. once a weekB. twice a weekC. three times a weekD. four times a week6. About ____% of British workers worked from home in July.A. 43B. 57C. 35D. 207. William Dilger's study shows that people who work from home _____.A. earn higher salariesB. work less hours per dayC. often work longer hoursD. have more leisure time8. The Swedish study found that people who work at home _____.A. are more stressed than office workersB. have problems separating work and leisureC. can earn higher salaries than office workersD. have less time for leisure activities答案:1. C 2. B 3. B 4. C 5. A 6. A 7. C 8. B二、补全短文When you breathe in, air rushes down your throat, through your windpipe, and into your lungs. Inside your lungs are millions of tiny air sacs. The walls of these sacs are covered with very tiny blood vessels. When you breathe in, air fills the air sacs. The oxygen in the air moves across the sac walls into the blood vessels. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste gas, passes from the blood vessels into the sacs. When you breathe out, the waste carbon dioxide leaves your body. The oxygen--the gas you need to live—stays in your blood.We take about 25,000 breaths a day. Every time you breathe in, you breathe in between 3 cups and 1/2 gallon (1 and 2 liters) of air.______9______ In one day, you breathe in 8 to 12 bathtubs full! When you exhale (呼出), you get rid of carbon dioxide, which is a waste gas.______10______So why does carbon dioxide make you want to breathe? When carbon dioxide gets into your blood and mixes with the water there, it forms an acid. The acid not only _11____ your brain make you breathe more often when you exercise, but also the struggle between the acid and the liquid in the blood can cause your brain to make you feel like you have to breathe.When you need to breathe, your brain sends a message to the muscles that control your breathing. The muscles in your diaphragm (膈肌) and the muscles between your ribs (肋骨) work together to move your lungs and get the oxygen (氧气) you need.That's how you breathe! Inhaling (吸气) oxygen from the air and exhaling waste carbon dioxide right out of your body!A. It combines with something dangerous.B. You couldn't stay alive without your heart's job.C. Your body can't use this air, so you breathe it out again.D. Carbon dioxide in your blood does something special, too.E. But your body still needs to get rid of waste gases.F. It also helps form the liquid part of your blood.G. In the process, it also helps get rid of waste gases.答案:9. C 10. G 11. F三、完形填空Temples (寺庙) are special buildings in many parts of the world. Theyare places where people go to 1 God. In different religions, people 2 to temples to say their prayers, ask for help, and beg for forgiveness(原谅),3 many other things. In many places, we see 4 temples, but how were they built? Who built them and how have they stayed still for 5 years?Building a temple usually takes 6 from different people. The owner or king 7 first decides where he wants the temple to be. Sometimes, the 8 of the king or the union of vegetables and fruits is used as a symbol of worship in the temple. Then the scientists of architecture (建筑学家) start their 9 . They take many years to finish their plan. It is so 10 that sometimes a king can'twait 11 to complete the construction. In many cases, their wives take on the work, 12 other workers with their food and other things needed for the construction of the temple.Next, the construction of the temple starts.
