Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could 16 tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he 17 in class.When I took the first exam, I was 18 to find a 77,C-plus,on my test paper, 19 English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained 20 .I decided to try harder, although I didn ’t know what that 21 because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77.Again,I 22 with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his 23 . One more test before the final exam. One more 24 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, 25 the meaning of the word “thorough”.But my 26 did no good and everything 27 as before.The last hurdle （障碍）was the final. No matter what 28 I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 29 goodbye.I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 30 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 31 with a test.A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne’s office. He 32 to be expecting me.“If I gave you the As you 33 ,you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”I stared at him, 34 that his analysis and strategy (策略）were correct. I had worked my head35 ,as I had never done before.I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship.

China is among the three countries in the world that carry out agricultural research in space. The others are Russia and the US. Since 1987，China has sent about 1,000 species of seeds into space. These include green peppers，tomatoes，cucumbers（黄瓜），carrots，lettuce and wheat. Even on China’s first manned spacecraft Shenzhou Ⅴ，there were some seeds from Taiwan.“Conditions in outer space such as radiation and low gravity can cause big changes in the seeds，”said Chinese researcher Jin Xing.But not all seeds are better after going to space. After returning to Earth，the best seeds are selected. These seeds produce much more and also grow faster than normal seeds. As the safety of genetically modified food （转基因食品）is still being debated，some people doubt the safety of these “space vegetables” because some of their genes are changed during the trip to space.But Jin holds a more positive view. He said，“Unlike genetically modified crops，no new genes are introduced to the space vegetables，so they are definitely safe.”China has also been cooperating with NASA to grow some super-sized potatoes on the International Space Station. Special growth rooms use computers to control the light，temperature and humidity （湿度）．Using this technology，a new virus free potato can be produced every 40 to 50 days instead of the previous yearly crop.36.Which of the following countries hasn’t carried out agricultural research in space up to the present？A. China.B. Japan.C. Russia.D. The US.37.Once seeds of some vegetables and crops are sent into space and back，.A. not all of them produce bigger cropsB. they are all better than before going to spaceC. small changes are caused in the seeds becauseof radiation and low gravityD. they produce much more and grow faster thannormal seeds38. Jin has no doubt about the safety of the space vegetables because .A. the seeds sent to space are all the same asthose of genetically modified foodB. the seeds sent to space are the bestC. no new genes are brought in them unlikegenetically modified foodD. the space vegetables have already been plantedin special growth rooms39.According to the passage, which statement is true？A. Genetically modified food is not safe.B. The space vegetables don’t belong togenetically modified food to some extent.C. About 1,000 species of seeds were sent intospace on Shenzhou Ⅴ.D. Seeds back from space must be planted inspecial growth rooms controlled by computers.40. The passage is most likely to be found in .A. a news reportB. a history textbookC. a travel magazineD. a science magazineBFood sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.Certain microorganisms（微生物）cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release（释放）poisons that make people sick.Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. Food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked thoroughly to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of those foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous tohumans. In addition, some types of fish can be poisonous.Most people recover from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.41. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Food when poisoned can make people sick.B. Food poisoning means death.C. Food poisoning comes in varieties.D. Food poisoning can be serious.42. We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning .A. are always accompanied by a feverB. are too common to be notedC. can be noticed within hoursD. can be ignored43.Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT .A. some chemicalsB. low temperaturesC. some tiny living thingsD. certain natural materials44. From Paragraph 5,we can learn that .A. mushrooms should not be eatenB. vegetables are safer than meat and seafoodC. natural poisons are more dangerous thanchemicalsD. different types of food should be handleddifferently45. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. natural materials are safe in food processingB. chemicals are needed in food processingC. food poisoning can be kept under controlD. food poisoning is out of controlCFirst Man Bear Pig, and now global warming; it seems Al Gore never stops to surprise the world. Recently Al Gore produced the movie An Inconvenient Truth which explained the threats and told us how to control global warming. What it left out is that there is no proof that human activity is even causing global warming, let alone if global warming is even taking place.Global warming is the idea that greenhouse gases that shut in infrared(红外的)radiation in the earth’s atmosphere are becoming more powerful and heating our planet up. The theory is that if the planet continues to heat up the polar ice caps could melt and cover the earth in water.Over the last 100 years the earth has increased one degree in temperature, and sea level has risen millimeters. Even though this “eye-opening”news is taking place, there is no clear proof saying that it is due to global warming. It could be just a regular weather pattern the earth is circulating. The polar ice caps have not grown or reduced in size since man began tracking them. Also the ground-based temperature has remained the same besides growing cities. In fact most clues support the idea that global warming is not taking place and human activity isn’t causing any earth to melt down.Although Al Gore insists the world is on its way to certain destruction, the facts say otherwise. It seems that driving to work won t lead to the doom(末日)of mankind, and the movie Water World won’t be happening any time soon.46. It is likely that Al Gore .A. is concerned about the threat of globalwarmingB. holds that man doesn’t cause global warmingC. knows how to stop global warming successfullyD. doesn’t believe global warming is taking place47. Global warming is the idea generally about .A. greenhousesB. infrared radiationC. greenhouse gasesD. the atmosphere48. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The earth has risen 1℃in temperature in thelast century.B. The sea level is incredibly higher than any timebefore.C. Some people are upset at the news of globalwarming.D. The polar ice caps haven’t grown or reduced insize.49. The author believes that .A. most proofs support global warming ishappeningB. human activity contributes little to globalwarmingC. driving to work will lead to the end of mankindD. a “Water World” will be happening very soon50. can be the best title of the passage.A. A Threatening Film by Al GoreB. The Causes of Global WarmingC. The Doom of Mankind?D. The Polar Ice Melt Down!DNext time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation （感觉）of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one person’s perception （感知）of another’s “warmth”is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm”or “cold”is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold”person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958,showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother”rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother”carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.Feelings of “warmth”and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm”or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses（假设），handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly, ”says Bargh.51. According to Paragraph 1,a person’s emotionmay be affected by .A. the visitors to his officeB. the psychology lessons he hasC. his physical feeling of coldnessD. the things he has bought online52. The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that .A. adults should develop social skillsB. babies need warm physical contactC. caregivers should be healthy adultsD. monkeys have social relationships53. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to .A. evaluate someone’s personalityB. write down their hypothesesC. fill out a personal information formD. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively54. We can infer from the passage that .A. abstract thinking does not come from physicalexperiencesB. feelings of warmth and coldness are studiedworldwideC. physical temperature affects how we see othersD. capable persons are often cold to others55. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Drinking for Better Social RelationshipsB. Experiments of Personality EvaluationC. Developing Better Drinking HabitsD. Physical Sensations and EmotionsIV.书面表达（共两节，满分45分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）［1］Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends? Do you frequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phonefor messages? Are you anxious and restless if you areseparated from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from texting too much?［2］If ,then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages ,which takes precedence (优先) over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.［3］So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance. Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.56. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?(no more than 5 words)57. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 8 words)58. What emotional difficulties may be the causes of text addiction?(no more than 5 words)①②③59. What do experts say about text addiction?(no more than 14 words) 60. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?(no more than 8 words)第二节写作（满分30分）5月4日，一班和二班之间将进行一次有关环保问题的演讲比赛（a talk show on environment protection）。

One way they can have a good time is to watch a baseball game or another sports event. Even thousands of years ago, groups of people gathered to watch skilled athletes（运动员）.Over 2000 years ago in Greece, certain days in the year were festival days. These were holidays when people stopped work and enjoyed themselves. They liked to watch athletes take part in races and other games of skill.The most important festival was held every four years at the town of Olympia. It was held in honor of the Greek god Zeus. For five days, athletes from all parts of the Greek world took part in the Olympic Games. At the Olympic Games, people could watch them box, run, jump and so on. There was a relay race between two teams of men in which a lighted torch（火矩）was passed from runner to runner. The Olympic Games were thought to be so important that cities which were at war with one another had to stop fighting. People were allowed to travel to the games safely. Thousands of people came to Olympia from cities in Greece and from her colonies（殖民地）in Africa, Asiaand Italy. They met as friends to cheer their favorite athletes and to enjoy themselves.4. What happened in Greece over 2000 years ago？______A. People stopped work and enjoyed themselves.B. The cities there were often against one another.C. People watched baseball games.D. People didn’t go to any games at all.5. What were those countries in Africa？_____A. Friends.B. Enemies.C. Colonies.D. Other cities.6. What did people do at the games？______A. They fought.B. They just talked to friends.C. They cheered for good athletes.D. They tried to find friends.7. Greek cities then were fighting so they_____.A. were weakB. were strongC. couldn’t go to oth er cities freelyD. could see each otherCIt's hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world-it affects where we choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national characteristics.Studies have shown that changeable weather can make it difficult to concentrate, cloudy skies slow down reaction, and high humidity with hot, dry winds makes many people bad-tempered.If you live in a place like Britain, where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly, youcould be forgiven for thinking that the weather is random. In fact, the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe. In the UK the weather depends on depressions, often called lows, and anticyclones, also known as highs. These systems start in the Atlantic Ocean and make their way across the British Isles from the west to the east.Highs bring sunny weather, while lows bring rain and wind. In modern times, human activities seem to be altering weather patterns. Gases produced by heavy industry change the temperature of the Earth's surface and affect cloud formation. Some researchers say that factories in Europe and North America may have been one of the causes of the droughts in Africa in the 1980s.Humans has always tried to guess the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are frequent changes. Traditional rhymes point to early attempts to identify weather patterns, popular poems include:Red sky at night, shepherds' delight; Red sky in the morning, shepherds' warning.Flies will swarm before a storm.Rain before 7, clear by 11.While folk wisdom can still provide a guide to help forecast weather, today's methods of prediction increasingly rely on technology. Satellites, balloons, ships, aircraft and weather centers with sensitive monitoring equipment, send data to computers. The data is then processed, and the weather predicted. However, even this system cannot predict weather for longer than about a week.8 . When weather keeps changing, ________.A . people become bad-temperedB . people's reaction slow downC . people find it hard to focus on their workD . people become hungrier9 . Which of the following questions could have the answer in the second paragraph?A . What causes changes in the weather?B . What's the weather like in Britain?C . Who should be responsible for the droughts in Africa in the 1980s?D . Why does the weather in the UK make people bad-tempered?10 . The weather in Britain is ________.A . randomB . moistC . depressingD . satisfying11 . According to a traditional rhyme, if there is a red sky at night, the next day will be ________.A . windyB . rainyC . fineD . snowyDAre you the type of person who always says “yes”？I’ve come to learn that it is very important to learn to say “no”. It’s okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.I’m not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help. I’m talkin g about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.Think for a moment how you feel when you say “yes” to something that you really don’t want to do. If you’re like I once was, you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you’re saying to yourself, if you really wanted to go, you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.So, why not just say “no” from the begi nning？Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting (by the way, it is not one you must attend), your boss isn’t going to like you or your coworkers won’t respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom, dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you d on’t do everything for them what they ask every occasion.If these people are your true friends, family members, or a good boss, they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to, and if you’re someone who alw ays says “yes”, then that’s what they’re expecting.You need to do what is right for you. Of course, we do have real obligations in life to fulfill, but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.12. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?A. We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.B. We should help others in need.C. Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.D. Always saying “no” means you are brave.13. Generally speaking, we agree to do what we hate to do because we________.A. have a bad habitB. have a kind heartC. have much concernD. have obligations14. The writer believes that if you say “no” to your family members, you’ll________.A. have the same relationship with them as beforeB. have a loose relationship with themC. disappoint themD. upset them15. What would be the best title for the text?A. Learn to Make a Right ChoiceB. To Be YourselfC. Do What You Want to DoD. Learn to Say “No”二、七选五How to Become a Top StudentSuccessful students use different techniques(技巧)to study, which brings them more success. 16 Here are the four techniques almost all top performing students use.They are regular. Almost all successful students study regularly, because they know “wha t you give is what you get”．If you put in regular hours of studying, then you will learn more and get better grades. 17 This will help you to study regularly.They have clear goals. All top performing students have definite, specific goals. 18 . They motivate(激发)you and drive you to study more. But make sure that you do not get carried away. Set realistic goals which can challenge you, but do not seem impossible or too difficult to achieve.They study without pressure. Successful students study a lot. But they study without putting strain on themselves. Most students make the mistake of studying too hard or studying continuously for a long time. 19 . Studying should be done in a balanced manner. Take a break for a few minutes, after studying for 30 or 45 minutes. Relax, walk around your room or house, or drink some water and return to studying. Such short breaks will refresh your brain and you will learn more.20 .Studying is not something you do just because your parents ask you to do it. It's actually very important for you. Studying gives you knowledge and skills that will remain with you for the rest of your life. It gives you the ability to get a job and earn money. And successful students recognize the value of studying well.A. This creates tension and actually slows down learning and memory.B. But to score grade A in English, you should make well-planned efforts.C. Set aside some hours, each day or each week, for studying.D. Having such goals gives you a purpose to study better.E. Learn their techniques, and you will also join their rank.F. They finish their homework on time.G.They give importance to study.三、完型填空My father often works very hard. And he has 21 to see a film.

The club had a very good team, which used to take part in a lot of important shooting competitions. One of these took place while Frank was with them.

Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AAstronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine and sweat and water that condenses from exhaled air.They said “cheers”，clicked drinking bags and toasted NASA workers on the ground who were sipping their own version of recycled drinking water. The recycling system is needed for astronaut stations on the moon and Mars.It also will save NASA money because it won’t have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttle or cargo rockets.Besides，it’s important as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to six.The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November by space shuttle Endeavour，but it couldn’t be used until samples were tested back on Earth.So when it came time to actually drink up，NASA made a big deal of it.The threemen crew stood，holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centers that worked on the system.“This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction，” Barratt said before taking a small mouthful.“The taste is worth trying.”NASA deputy space shuttle manager LeRoy Cain called it “a huge milestone”．The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet，moves it to a big tank，where the water is boiled off，and the vapor is collected.The rest of the urine is thrown away.The water vapor is mixed with water from air condensation，and then it goes through filters.When six crew members are aboard it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours.“Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful，but it is also done on Earth with a lot longer time between urine and the tap.” said Marybeth Edeen，the space station’s national lab manager.“The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick water purification after the 2004 Asian tsunami，” Edeen sa id.“We are happy to have this water work through the system—we’re happy to have it work through our systems，” Barratt said.1．According to the text，the recycling system is important because . A．it makes traveling to the moon for the common person possibleB．with it NASA won’ t need to ship any water up to the space stationC．it can help to meet the need for more water after the crew are expandedD．it protects the environment in space by reducing the amount of waste答案 C解析细节理解题。

三、阅读理解（共8小题；每小题2分，满分16分） A “Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids(小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it”, say some scientists. Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.

Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. “By the time we spot a fatal one,” the scientists say, “we’ll have a way to change its course.” Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare——but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.” The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday(毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article. 21. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids? A. They are heavenly bodies different in composition. B. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature. C. These are more asteroids than meteoroids. D. Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids. 22. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth? A. It is unlikely but the danger exists. B. Such a collision might occur once every 225 years. C. Collision of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected. D. It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur. 23. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids? A. It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem. B. It may create more problems than it might solve. C. It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely. D. Further research should be done before it is proved applicable. 24. We can conclude from the passage that ________. A. while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world B. asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future C. the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime D. workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth B The journey to the moon had been the first step toward future exploration(探险) in space. The distance between the Moon and Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is millions of miles away. Traveling to the planets will be man’s next aim. Such travels will be more challenging than the trip to the moon and certainly more adventurous. Recently, two American spaceships, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars trying to discover whether that planet has any life on it. So far the signs of life on Mars has neither confirmed(确认) nor ruled out. Russians have discovered that the surface of Venus(金星) is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely dense(稠) and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than that of the Earth’s atmosphere. Scientists believe man may find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on Earth, but man should realize Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to love and care for it. 25. According to the passage, traveling to the planets will be ________.
