AThe state of Colorado has four of the 58 nation parks in the United States. These have been judged as the best places of all the national parks.Black Canyon of Gunnison National ParkThis pork lies in western Colorado and offers the most impressive views from upin the mountains into the canyos(峡谷) below. While exploring the canyons, you willfind that the walls drop nearly straight down into very narrow valleys with snake-like rivers below. Visitors are offered more than 100 camping sites, and a lot of bird species and many animals are native to the area.Rocky Mountain National ParkIt is the only national park in the north central region in the state of Colorado. Elevations(高地 )in this park you will find are anywhere from 8,000 feet to 14, 259at the top of Longs Peak. While travelling throughout this park, you will find thereare two very different climates because of the fact that the tops of the Rocky Mountains make a difference. With 359 miles of trails for hiking, there are a lot of placesfor camping, horseback riding and just enjoying the sights of nature.Mesa Verde National ParkThis is probably the most interesting of all the national parks, offering an extremely interesting trip back in time to 600 AD up to 1300 AD. This park was declared(宣布) a protected national park in 1906 because of the cliff dwellings(住人的崖洞) that were found throughout the park area, which was once home to American Indians.Visitors can actually walk through these dwellings, and they may imagine what each room may have been used for so many years ago.Great Sand Dunes(沙丘) National ParkThe Great Sand Dunes National Park lies in south central Colorado, about 127 miles from Pueblo. This park has the tallest sand dunes in all of North America, with trailsfor hiking. Natural sandy beaches there are good for people who want to swim aroundthe small river and lakes.21.

I travel to unusual places and work alongside people from all over the world. Sometimes working outdoors, sometimes in an office, sometimes using scientific equipment and sometimes meeting local people and tourists, I am never bored. Although my job is occasionally dangerous, I don’t mind because danger excites me and makes me feel alive. However, the most important thing about my job is that I help protect ordinary people from one of the most powerful forces on earth — the volcano.I was appointed as a volcanologist working for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) twenty years ago. My job is collecting information for a database about Mount Kilauea, which is one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii. Having collected and evaluated the information, I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast. Our work has saved many lives because people in the path of the lava can be warned to leave their houses. Unfortunately, we cannot move their homes out of the way, and many houses have been covered with lava or burned to the ground.When boiling rock erupts from a volcano and crashes back to earth, it causes less damage than you might imagine. This is because no one lives near the top of Mount Kilauea, where the rocks fall. The lava that flows slowly like a wave down the mountain causes far more damage because it buries everything in its path under the molten rock. However, the eruption itself is really exciting to watch and I shall never forget my first sight of one. It was in the second week after I arrived in Hawaii. Having worked hard all day, I went to bed early. I was fast asleep when suddenly my bed began shaking and I heard a strange sound, like a railway train passing my window. Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn’t take much notice.I was about to go back to sleep when suddenl y my bedroom became as bright as day.I ran out of the house into the back garden where I could see Mount Kilauea in the distance. There had been an eruption from the side of the mountain and red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of metres into the air. It was an absolutely fantastic sight.The day after this eruption I was lucky enough to have a much closer look at it. Two other scientists and I were driven up the mountain and dropped as close as possible to the crater that had been formed during the eruption. Having earlier collected special clothes from the observatory, we put them on before we went any closer. All three of us looked like spacemen. We had white protective suits that covered our wholebody, helmets, big boots and special gloves. It was not easy to walk in these suits,but we slowly made our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red,boiling centre. The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava forlater study, but this being my first experience, I stayed at the top and watched them.Today, I am just as enthusiastic about my job as the day I first started.Havingstudied volcanoes now for many years, I am still amazed at their beauty as well astheir potential to cause great damage.24. What is the writer in the text?A. A volunteerB. A doctorC. An engineerD. A volcanologist .25.What job does the writer do in the text?A. Watching the volcano.B. Moving the people’s houses.C. Collecting information about Mount Kilauea.D. Traveling to Mount Kilauea in Hawaii.26.When boiling rock erupts from a volcano, it causes less damage thanyou imagine because____________ .A. the temperature is not very highB. no one lives near the top of he Mount KilaueaC. people know how to escape the rocksD. the buildings near the volcanoes are very firm.27.“All three of us looked liked spacemen” is because ____________ .A. they were in the spaceB. they wore protective suitsC. they were in the space shuttleD. they were near the craterCWHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING?Dear Earth Care,I am doing a project on behalf of my school about global warming. Sometimes I feelthat individuals can have little effect on such huge environmental problems. However,I still think people should advocate improvements in the way we use energy today.As I'm not sure where to start with my project, I would appreciate any suggestionsyou may have.Thank you!Ouyang GuangDear Ouyang Guang,There are many people who have a commitment like yours, but they do not believe theyhave the power to do anything to improve our environment. That is not true. Together,individuals can make a difference. We do not have to Put up with pollution.The growth of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide in the air actually comes as a resultof many things we do every day. Here are a few suggestions on how to reduce it. Theyshould get you started with your project.1 We use a lot of energy in our houses. It is OK to leave an electrical applianceon so long as you are using it---if not, turn it off Do not be casual about this. So if you are not using the lights, the TV, the computer, and so on, turn them off. If you are cold, Put on more clothes instead of turning up the heat.2 Motor vehicles use a lot of energy----so walk or ride a bike if you can.3 Recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers if circumstances allow you to. It takes a lot of energy to make things from new materials, so, if you can, buy things made from Recycled materials.4 Get your parents to buy things that are economical with energy----this includes cars as well as smaller things like fridges and microwaves.5 Plant trees in your garden or your school yard, as they absorb carbon dioxide from the air and refresh your spirit when you look at them.6 Finally and most importantly, be an educator. Talk with your family and friends about global warming and tell them what you have learnedRemember----your contribution counts!Earth Care28.What can we do about global warming in our house according to Earth Care?A. Do not use any electrical appliance.B. Never watch TV.C. Try to save as much electricity as possible.D. Ride a bike instead of using a car.29.According to Earth Care，after drinking a cola，we should .A. throw the can awayB. buy another oneC. start working as soon as possibleD. keep the can for recycling30.What can we do by simply using our mouth?A. Persuade our parents to buy energysaving products.B. Pass the knowledge of global warming to other people.C. Plant trees in our garden of school.D. Both A and B.31. From the first letter we know Ouyang Guang is most probably a .A. school teacherB. schoolboyC. young parentD. newspaper boyDYou might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation（撤离）of an island nation the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.During the 20th century, sea level rose 8~12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country’s drinking water.Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（导致温室效应的气体排放）,which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years.”Laupepa told the BBC.Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable （易受影响的）to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.32.The text is mainly about_________.A. rapid changes in ea rth’s temperatureB. bad effects of global warmingC. moving of a country to a new placeD. reasons for lowland flooding33.According to scientists, the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is_________.A. greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nationsB. higher surface water temperatures of the seaC. continuous global warmingD. rising sea levels34. Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not_________.A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissionsB. sign an agreement with TuvaluC. allow Tuvaluans to move to the USD. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real35.The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is_________.A. AustraliaB. New ZealandC. the Maldives D .the United States第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

museum was officially opened in Lhasa.For thousands of years,yak has been closely related to Tibetan people,influencing their spirits and personalities deeply;this museum will take the“spirit of

of China Development Bank successfully supported the protection and treatment of eight historical and cultural ancient towns through bringing in the financial supporting model and

Chinese Language Conference.C.Beijing College Student Film FestivalD.China Development Bank.BWhat Is a Boy?Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a“boy”.Boys come indifferent sizes,weights,and colors,but all boys have the same belief:to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.Boys are found everywhere–on top of,under,inside of,climbing on, swinging from,running around,or jumping to.Mothers spoil them,little girls hate them,older sisters and brothers love them,and God protects them.A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face,BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair,and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.When you are busy,a boy is a trouble maker and a noise.When you want him to make a good impression,his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.A boy is a mixture–he has the stomach of a horse,the digestion(消化力)of stones and sand,the energy of an atomic bomb,the curiosity of a cat,the imagination of a superman,the shyness of a sweet girl,the brave nature of a bull,the violence of a firecracker,but when you ask him to make something,he has five thumbs(拇指)on each hand.He likes ice cream,knives,saws,Christmas,comic books,woods, water(in its natural habitat),large animals,Dad,trains,Saturday mornings, and fire engines.He is not much for Sunday schools,company,schools, books without pictures,music lessons,neckties,barbers,girls,overcoats, adults,or bedtime.Nobody else is so early to rise,or so late to supper.Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees,dogs,and breezes.Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife,a half eaten apple,a three-feet rope,six cents and some unknown things.A boy is a magical creature–he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams,he can mend them like new with two magic words,“Hi,Dad!”4.The whole passage is in a tone(调子)of______.A.humor and affectionB.respect and harmonyC.ambition and expectationD.confidence and imagination5.Could you figure out the meaning of the underlined sentence?A.He has altogether five fingers.B.He is slow,foolish and clumsy.C.He becomes clever and smart.D.He cuts his hand with a knife.6.According to the writer,boys appreciate everything in the following exc ept______.A.ice creamic booksC.Saturday morningsD.Sunday schools7.What does the writer feel about boys?A.He feels curious about their noise.B.He is fed up with these creatures.C.He is amazed by their naughtiness.D.He feels unsafe staying with them.CTen years ago I went into the studio and recorded a56-minute video for teenagers called“Three keys to greatness.”Although my focus was for teenagers,the principles I shared certainly apply to adults as well.Recently I was asked to list these three things.Now for your benefit here they are again.Firstly,set goals.I call it the view of the future.Most people,including kids,will pay the price if they can see the promise of the future.So we need to help our kids see a clear future,and they will be ready to pay the price today to attain the rewards of tomorrow.Goals help them do this.Secondly,pay attention to personal development.Simply making consistent investments in our education and knowledge we will benefit throughout our lives.I suggest having an amount of time set aside for reading books,listening to recording,attending discussion,keeping a journal and spending time with other successful people.Mr Jones recommends reading a lot as a good method of improving yourself.The simple fact is that you need to change your outlook on life and on yourself,as it will have a positive influence on your personality and outlook.You should learn something new about your profession every single day until you’re an expert in the field.Thirdly,make a financial plan.I call it the70/30plan.After receiving your salary,simply setting aside10%for saving,10%for investing and10% for giving,the rest for your life.And over time when you have your own family this will guarantee financial independence for you.If people focus on doing these three simple things over a long period of time,I believe they will be surely successful!8.The advantage of setting goals is that___.A.you’ll know the future of the worldB.you’ll know what kind of person you will becomeC.you’ll be willing to work hard for your futureD.you’ll be satisfied with what you have achieved9.The author lays the most stress on___.A.gaining knowledgeB.making good friendsC.attending discussionsD.listening to recordings10.According to the passage,one picture of reading a lot is to___.A.lead a better lifeB.have a good personality and outlookC.change your positionD.become an expert in many fields11.Whom does the author mainly advise to make a financial plan?A.All kinds of peopleB.The young peopleC.The middle-aged peopleD.The rich peopleDThe Human Genome(基因组)Project,a great$3billion,15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans,is now more than90 percent completed.The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延长)human life.But those communities and policy makers are also careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years,the genetic advances in the fast developing field of biotechnology have provided material for all kinds of work,but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health,as well as for the population imagination.While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding human DNA,the leading organization for genetic research in the Untied States,which began in1990,is“unlocking the code”of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases.Already,the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with as yet terrible diseases,and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer(乳腺癌)or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied,researchers can develop new ways to attack infections,and genetic diseases.Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome,as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.12.Why did the scientists work so hard at mapping the human genome?A.Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses.B.Because the genetic map’s completion can help to get rid of many diseases.C.Because they wanted to be better known than others.D.Because the Human Genome Project can provided a lot of chances of work.13.According to the passage,which of the following countries is the most advanced in genetic research?A.JapanB.GermanyC.The United StatesD.China14.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A.If the genes can be found,scientists can study many new ways to cu re illnesses.B.The United States began genetic research early in the19th century.C.Many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.D.The scientists have made great progress in connecting some genes with the cancers.15.What is mainly talked about in this passage?A.The great human genome.B.The discovery of genes.C.Unlocking the genetic code.D.Genes and scientists.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AA girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering froman incurable disease with days numbered.The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditionswere not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. Shewas expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldomshouted at others.But something that happened made the doctor uneasy andpuzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her somemoney. The doctor did nothing to interfere, unwilling to offendthe old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs ofdecline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will yoube kind enough to help her finish her studies？”But the doctor knew that her family was well off and she hadno difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came tothe hospital in her father’s car.When the girl came at the weekend after the death of theold man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sadand burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “The old man had all along thought I came to do the jobbecause of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continuemy schooling.”Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the lastperiod of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be ableto help a girl badly in need.1. If you’re a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, whatkind of people do you have to attend to?A．Patients with a lot of money. B．Patients suffering from cancer.C．Patients without many days left. D．Patients living alone.2. What can we learn from the passage?A．The doctor told the old man the truth.B．The old man’s children were wealthy.C．The girl’s father encouraged her to accept the money.D．The girl didn’t accompany the old man when he died.3. What is the real reason resulting in the old man’s mental improvement?A．The girl’s love and great care.B．The pleasureof helping people in need.C．The doctor’s medical treatment D．His children’s progress in life.BWe know the famous ones--the Thomas Edisons and theAlexander Graham Bells --but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic lightand the windshield wiper (雨刮器) ? Shouldn't we know who theyare?Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly aboutthis matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning "who" invented "what" , however, Mcleanalso likes her students to learn the answers to the "why" and "how" questions. According to Mclean, "When students learn theanswers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try. "Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. "IfI had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention," said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major. "I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so constructive." Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?4. By mentioning "traffic light" and "windshield wiper", the author indicates that countless inventions are_______.A. beneficial, because their inventors are famousB. beneficial, though their inventors are less famousC. not useful, because their inventors are less famousD. not useful, though their inventors are famous5. Professor Joan McLean's course aims to _____.A. add color and variety to students' campus lifeB. inform students of the windshield wiper's inventionC. carry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityD. prepare students to try their own invention6. Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was .A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer[来源:学+科+网Z+X+X+K]B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiperC. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstormD. not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures7. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?B. How to Design a Built —in Device for Cleaning the Window?C. Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?D. Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?Cstories Disease, poverty, hate, love－Charles Dickens’ opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of hisage. Two hundred years on, his stories still speak volumesacross the world, proving that Dickens’ legacy（遗产）was far-literature”．greater than just “greatFebruary 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writer’s birthday. To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed sixthings Dickens gave the modern world. Let’s take a look at twoof them.A White ChristmasDickens is described as “the man who invented Christmas” —not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today.In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt. The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinarybusiness meetings on Christmas Day—unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone but the most necessary workerstakes at least three days off.Many people believe that Dickens’ popular descriptions ofthe festive period became a blueprint for generations to come. Inhis classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward theidea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowingwarmth－“home enjoyments, affections and hopes”．In his biography of Dickens, Pet er Ackroyd wrote: “Dickenscan be said to have almost single-handedly cr eated the modernidea of Christmas.”)“Dickens” poverty(贫穷Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at theunderclass and the poor of Victorian London. He helped popularize the term “red t ape”to describe situations wherepeople in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy(官僚作风) in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorermembers of society.has now become a powerful word for “Dickensian” describing an unacceptable level of poverty. In 2009, when thepresident of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UKwanted to talk about poverty in some areas of Britain, she didnot use words like “terrible” or “horrific”, but rather described as “life mirroring the times of Dickens”．8. The article is mainly about____________A. a brief introduction to Charles DickensB. Charles Dickens’ influence on the worldC. the characters in Charles Dickens’ storiesD. Charles Dickens’ achievements in literature9. Why is Di ckens called “the man who invented Christmas”？A. Because he created both religious and culture festival.B. Because all his novels have something to do with Christmas.C. Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations.D. Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas.10. According to the article, the phrase “red t ape”refers to_______.A. rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a taskB. a situation in which poor members of society are hurt.C. conflict between people in power and weaker peopleD. pointlessly time-consuming official procedures11. We can learn from the passage that______.A. Dickensian is widely used to describe the ChristmasB. Charles Dickens’ novels reflect the true life at his ageC. Every person can take three days off for ChristmasD. The theme of Charles Dickens’ stories is about povertyDHybrid cars （混合动力车）are cars that run on petrol and electricity. They have a small standard petrol engine and a battery electric motor to provide electric power.There are some differences between different models of hybrid cars, but the general principle is that the car runs on petrol, and the electric motor kicks in when additional power isrequired, for example, when going uphill or accelerating. In some hybrid cars the petrol engine turns its elf off when not needed, for example when the car has stopped at traffic light, keeping only the electric engine running.Conventional cars have large engines to deal with drivinguphill and accelerating. Hybrid cars have much smaller petrol engines, improved by electric motors when needed, so they useless petrol. Another way that fuel consumption is cut by a system of “regenerative (再生的) braking”. The electric motor isused to slow down the car, rather than conventional brakes. Theenergy produced by slowing the car is changed into electrical power, which is automatically stored in the battery. In effect, thebattery recharges when you brake. In conventional cars the energy produced when braking is wasted.In 1928 Ferdinand Porsche built an experimental hybrid car.The first mass-produced hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, came outin Japan at the end of 1997. However, hybrid cars became available in the USA only in 1999. As they use less fuel, hybridcars are cheaper to run. There are also many voices in place toencourage people to buy them. In some countries, hybrid car owners pay a lower rate of tax, and don’t have to pay on certainroads. In some cities, hybrid cars are allowed to park for free.12. Hybrid cars consume less energy than conventional cars because hybrid cars .A. have large engines to deal with acceleratingB. have conventional brakes to slow down the carC. have electric power to assist when neededD. have no energy consumption when stopping13. In regenerative braking, .A. energy wasted in conventional cars is stored in the batteryB. the conventional brakes are used to slow down the carC. the battery charges itself when the car is acceleratingD. the petrol engine is usually turned off automatically14. From the last paragraph we can learn that Hybrid cars .A. were first available in the USAB. will gain more popularityC. free their owners from taxD. are free to park anywhere in the city15. The main purpose of this text is to .A. show how hybrid cars slow downB. encourage people to buy hybrid carsC. inform people of a kind of energy-saving carsD. explain why hybrid cars use less energy第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

a“boy”.Boys come indifferent sizes,weights,and colors,but all boys have the same belief:to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.Boys are found everywhere–on top of,under,inside of,climbing on, swinging from,running around,or jumping to.Mothers spoil them,little girls hate them,older sisters and brothers love them,and God protects them.A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face,BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair,and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.When you are busy,a boy is a trouble maker and a noise.When you want him to make a good impression,his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.A boy is a mixture–he has the stomach of a horse,the digestion(消化力)of stones and sand,the energy of an atomic bomb,the curiosity of a cat,the imagination of a superman,the shyness of a sweet girl,the brave nature of a bull,the violence of a firecracker,but when you ask him to make something,he has five thumbs(拇指)on each hand.He likes ice cream,knives,saws,Christmas,comic books,woods, water(in its natural habitat),large animals,Dad,trains,Saturday mornings, and fire engines.He is not much for Sunday schools,company,schools, books without pictures,music lessons,neckties,barbers,girls,overcoats, adults,or bedtime.Nobody else is so early to rise,or so late to supper.Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees,dogs,and breezes.Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife,a half eaten apple,a three-feet rope,six cents and some unknown things.A boy is a magical creature–he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams,he can mend them like new with two magic words,“Hi,Dad!”4.The whole passage is in a tone(调子)of.A.humor and affectionB.respect and harmonyC.ambition and expectationD.confidence and imagination5.Could you figure out the meaning of the underlined sentence?A.He has altogether five fingers.B.He is slow,foolish and clumsy.C.He becomes clever and smart.D.He cuts his hand with a

about their noise.B.He is fed up with these creatures.C.He is amazed by their naughtiness.D.He feels unsafe staying with them.CTen years ago I went into the studio and recorded a56-minute video for teenagers called“Three keys to greatness.”Although my focus was for teenagers,the principles I shared certainly apply to adults as well.Recently I was asked to list these three things.Now for your benefit here they are again.Firstly,set goals.I call it the view of the future.Most people,including kids,will pay the price if they can see the promise of the future.So we need to help our kids see a clear future,and they will be ready to pay the price today to attain the rewards of tomorrow.Goals help them do this.Secondly,pay attention to personal development.Simply making consistent investments in our education and knowledge we will benefit throughout our lives.I suggest having an amount of time set aside for reading books,listening to recording,attending discussion,keeping a journal and spending time with other successful people.Mr Jones recommends reading a lot as a good method of improving yourself.The simple fact is that you need to change your outlook on life and on yourself,as it will have a positive influence on your personality and outlook.You should learn something new about your profession every single day until you’re an expert in the field.Thirdly,make a financial plan.I call it the70/30plan.After receiving your salary,simply setting aside10%for saving,10%for investing and10% for giving,the rest for your life.And over time when you have your own family this will guarantee financial independence for you.If people focus on doing these three simple things over a long period of time,I believe they will be surely successful!8.The advantage of setting goals is that.A.you’ll know the future of the worldB.you’ll know what kind of person you will becomeC.you’ll be willing to work hard for your futureD.you’ll be satisfied with what you have achieved9.The author lays the most stress on.A.gaining knowledgeB.making good friendsC.attending discussionsD.listening to recordings10.According to the passage,one picture of reading a lot is to.A.lead a better lifeB.have a good personality and outlookC.change your positionD.become an expert in many fields11.Whom does the author mainly advise to make a financial plan?A.All kinds of peopleB.The young peopleC.The middle-aged peopleD.The rich peopleDThe Human Genome(基因组)Project,a great$3billion,15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans,is now more than90 percent completed.The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging(延长)human life.But those communities and policy makers are also careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years,the genetic advances in the fast developing field of biotechnology have provided material for all kinds of work,but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health,as well as for the population imagination.While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding human DNA,the leading organization for genetic research in the Untied States,which began in1990,is“unlocking the code”of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases.Already,the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with as yet terrible diseases,and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer(乳腺癌)or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied,researchers can develop new ways to attack infections,and genetic diseases.Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome,as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.12.Why did the scientists work so hard at mapping the human genome?A.Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses.B.Because the genetic map’s completion can help to get rid of many diseases.C.Because they wanted to be better known than others.D.Because the Human Genome Project can provided a lot of chances of work.13.According to the passage,which of the following countries is the most advanced in genetic research?A.JapanB.GermanyC.The United StatesD.China14.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A.If the genes can be found,scientists can study many new ways to cu re illnesses.B.The United States began genetic research early in the19th century.C.Many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.D.The scientists have made great progress in connecting some genes with the cancers.15.What is mainly talked about in this passage?A.The great human genome.B.The discovery of genes.C.Unlocking the genetic code.D.Genes and scientists.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
