Ihey help slow down and clean uppolluted water from the land and provide habitat (栖息地) for animals. You wil find wetlands in areas where water covers the soil or is near the ground surface for part or all of the year. Sometimes a wetland wil actually appear dry at certain times of the year! You can often tell if something is a wetland (40) the types of plants that are growing in it. Most of these plants, like cattails and swamp roses, are adapted to living in the water and can't live in dry soil for very long.Wetlands as sponges (海绵)The sponge will (41) a lot of water before it slowly starts to leak. The same happens in a wetland. A wetland will trap water that flows into it during a rainstorm and will (42) release the water later. This helps to prevent flooding.Wetlands as filters (滤纸)After being trapped by the wetland sponge, polluted water moves slowly through a wetland, finding its way around plants and through small spaces in the soil. While it moves, the nutrients are absorbed by the plant roots. By the time the water leaves the wetland it is (43) than it was when it entered. This is why many people think of wetlands as nature's filter system. Wetlands as habitatWetlands are home to many types of fish, amphibians (两栖动物), birds, mammals, and reptiles. These animals (44) the plentiful food, water, and shelter that the wetland offers. While some animals spend their whole lives in a wetland, many use it only for a particular time in their lives, such as for hatching eggs and raising young.Wetlands (45) to make way for farmland, highways, houses, and development of commercial sites like malls.

Reading comprehension (阅读理解)A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案，用A,B,C或D表示) (6分)When May got her first cellphone about a decade ago, one of the first things she did was go to her service provider's website and stock up on ringtones. And then her dad got the phone bill. When new songs came out, she would download them, but most of the ones she downloaded, she never really used, because most of the time she was in school or work.By about 2009, May lost interest in buying ringtones altogether. And she wasn't the only one. May's personal experience mirrors what has been a sharp decline in ringtone sales over the last half-decade.In the early- to mid-2000s, the ability to play a customized sound (定制铃声) for incoming calls ---was a fun new thing for people buying their first cellphones. Ringtones became fashionable. People scrambled to personalize their phones with the newest or coolest tunes.Mastertones made the ringtone an easy way to hear one's favorite music. People also could assign different ringtones to different callers --- say, “Take This Job and Shove It” when your boss calls, ha ha --- as a sonic form of Caller ID.The ringtone sales was a great barometer (晴雨表) of how people were starting to live around entertainment on their phones. We saw the market grow from $68 million retail in the U.S. in 2003 to about $600 million in 2006.But then the sales dipped. Despite the enormous growth of smartphones, mobile audio products such as ringtones and ringbacks (which is a song that plays while a caller's waiting for an answer) brought in only $167 million last year.So what happened?Two things: The interest of the musical snippets wore off. And we learned how to make custom ringtones for free.Musical ringtones could be costly. Costs for ringtones varied, but the 20-to-30-second snippets (片段) were often pricier than buying the whole song. Someone who updated their ringtones frequently could easily pay $20 a month or more.But with the rise of audio-editing software and free Web programs for making ringtones, users could easily create their own custom ringtones from songs they already owned.And as smartphones evolved, with their enticing menu of video, games, music and Facebooking, suddenly ringtones didn't seem so exciting anymore.There's another factor at play, too. Surveys have shown that as text-messaging has grown in popularity, especially among younger users, people don't make calls as often. So ringtones are less of a priority.Cellphone users may not think about them as much, but the gradual decline of the ringtone has been bittersweet for people in the music industry. It was a little sad. In BMI's early digital days, they made more money from ringtones than anything else. And now when you think about it, it's basically zero.60.After May downloaded her favourite ringtones, she .A.paid $5 for themB. sent the phone bill to her DadC. remembered to use themD. never really used most of them61. According to May's personal experience, ringtone sales became these years.A. betterB. worseC. more interestingD. more attractive62. “Master tones” enables people to with the newest or coolest tunes.A. write a song for incoming callsB. buy their first cell phonesC. personalize their phonesD. hear different callers speaking63. The ringtone market grew from .A. $68 million in 2003B. $600 million in 2006C. late 2000sD. late 201264. Nowadays, people no longer need to to update their ringtones.A. use audio-editing softwareB. use free web programmesC. pay $20 a monthD. share 20-to-30-second snippets65. According to the passage, the is not the main reason for the decline of ringtone salesmarket.A. smartphoneB. use of text-messagingC. the music industryD. the rise of free audio-editing software【答案】60-65 DBCACCB.

Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It (66) about 3,500,000 tons. The waste includes bags, bottles and containers --- plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about 1,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been (67) a kind of oceanic desert, with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world (68) there.In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or (69) . Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have (70) effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, (71) oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August, 2009, a team from the University of California, San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of seacreatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch's effect on ocean environment.66.

In 1757, he fled to England and began earning a living as an organist (风琴手) and later composer and conductor. In 1772, he (72) i his sister Caroline to join him as a singer. In their spare time the brother-sister team became (73) i in astronomy.Herschel's first major discoveries were to show that Mars and Jupiter exhibit axial rotation (绕轴自转). Herschel struck fame in 1781, when on March 13th he discovered the planet Uranus (天王星) while engaged in work (74) a at determining stellar parallax (恒星视差). This being the first new planet discovered (75) s ancient times, Herschel, until then an amateur (业余的) astronomer relatively unknown even in England, became world-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George III. The trick worked once again, as King George III gave William and Caroline the titles of "The King's Astronomer" and "Assistant to the King's Astronomer”, an honor which came with a life's wealth for both. In 1782 they (76) m to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to astronomy. The Herschels (77) w on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.While Caroline became increasingly occupied (投入) with the search for comets (彗星) at which she was quite successful, William became for a time keen on the Sun. Inspired by Wilson's 1774 work, he put forth the theory of sunspots (太阳黑子), an opinion that (78) c to exist well into the nineteenth century.

It aims to give at-risk families greater access to healthy foods.Under the program, overweight patients can be prescribed the tickets from Health Bucks company to exchange produce at local farmers markets.

I have four other kids also doing the program.”The prescription program was started by an organization that connects low-income people with local farm fresh foods. The group first carried out the program at sites in Massachusetts, Maine, California and Rhode Island. It has now expanded to seven states.This summer, Lincoln Medical Center in the Bronx and Harlem Hospital Center became the first New York State hospitals to join in the program.A chief at Lincoln Medical Center says she thinks the program will bring lasting benefits to the city.“We're not only teaching them just about eating healthy," she says. "This is really an investment for the future.

You can often tell if something is a wetland (40) the types of plants that are growing in it. Most of these plants, like cattails and swamp roses, are adapted to living in the water and can't live in dry soil for very long.Wetlands as sponges (海绵)The sponge will (41) a lot of water before it slowly starts to leak. The same happens in a wetland. A wetland will trap water that flows into it during a rainstorm and will (42) release the water later. This helps to prevent flooding.Wetlands as filters (滤纸)After being trapped by the wetland sponge, polluted water moves slowly through a wetland, finding its way around plants and through small spaces in the soil. While it moves, the nutrients are absorbed by the plant roots. By the time the water leaves the wetland it is (43) than it was when it entered. This is why many people think of wetlands as nature's filter system. Wetlands as habitatWetlands are home to many types of fish, amphibians (两栖动物), birds, mammals, and reptiles. These animals (44) the plentiful food, water, and shelter that the wetland offers. While some animals spend their whole lives in a wetland, many use it only for a particular time in their lives, such as for hatching eggs and raising young.Wetlands (45) to make way for farmland, highways, houses, and development of commercial sites like malls. We need to try harder to control changes in our watersheds so we can stop losing wetlands.【答案】40-45 FGAECDIII. Fill in the blanks with the given words in their proper forms (词性转换) (8分)46.

Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案，用A,B,C或D表示) (6分)When May got her first cellphone about a decade ago, one of the first things she did was go to her service provider's website and stock up on ringtones. And then her dad got the phone bill. When new songs came out, she would download them, but most of the ones she downloaded, she never really used, because most of the time she was in school or work.By about 2009, May lost interest in buying ringtones altogether. And she wasn't the only one. May's personal experience mirrors what has been a sharp decline in ringtone sales over the last half-decade.In the early- to mid-2000s, the ability to play a customized sound (定制铃声) for incoming calls ---was a fun new thing for people buying their first cellphones. Ringtones became fashionable. People scrambled to personalize their phones with the newest or coolest tunes.Mastertones made the ringtone an easy way to hear one's favorite music. People also could assign different ringtones to different callers --- say, “Take This Job and Shove It” when your boss calls, ha ha --- as a sonic form of Caller ID.The ringtone sales was a great barometer (晴雨表) of how people were starting to live around entertainment on their phones. We saw the market grow from $68 million retail in the U.S. in 2003 to about $600 million in 2006.But then the sales dipped. Despite the enormous growth of smartphones, mobile audio products such as ringtones and ringbacks (which is a song that plays while a caller's waiting for an answer) brought in only $167 million last year.So what happened?Two things: The interest of the musical snippets wore off. And we learned how to make custom ringtones for free.Musical ringtones could be costly. Costs for ringtones varied, but the 20-to-30-second snippets (片段) were often pricier than buying the whole song. Someone who updated their ringtones frequently could easily pay $20 a month or more.But with the rise of audio-editing software and free Web programs for making ringtones, users could easily create their own custom ringtones from songs they already owned.And as smartphones evolved, with their enticing menu of video, games, music and Facebooking, suddenly ringtones didn't seem so exciting anymore.There's another factor at play, too. Surveys have shown that as text-messaging has grown in popularity, especially among younger users, people don't make calls as often. So ringtones are less of a priority.Cellphone users may not think about them as much, but the gradual decline of the ringtone has been bittersweet for people in the music industry. It was a little sad. In BMI's early digital days, they made more money from ringtones than anything else. And now when you think about it, it's basically zero.60.After May downloaded her favourite ringtones, she .A.paid $5 for themB. sent the phone bill to her DadC. remembered to use themD. never really used most of them61. According to May's personal experience, ringtone sales became these years.A. betterB. worseC. more interestingD. more attractive62. “Master tones” enables people to with the newest or coolest tunes.A. write a song for incoming callsB. buy their first cell phonesC. personalize their phonesD. hear different callers speaking63.

Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It (66) about 3,500,000 tons. The waste includes bags, bottles and containers --- plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about 1,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been (67) a kind of oceanic desert, with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world (68) there.In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or (69) . Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have (70) effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, (71) oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August, 2009, a team from the University of California, San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of seacreatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch's effect on ocean environment.66.

Herschel struck fame in 1781, when on March 13th he discovered the planet Uranus (天王星) while engaged in work (74) a at determining stellar parallax (恒星视差). This being the first new planet discovered (75) s ancient times, Herschel, until then an amateur (业余的) astronomer relatively unknown even in England, became world-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George III. The trick worked once again, as King George III gave William and Caroline the titles of "The King's Astronomer" and "Assistant to the King's Astronomer”, an honor which came with a life's wealth for both. In 1782 they (76) m to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to astronomy. The Herschels (77) w on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.While Caroline became increasingly occupied (投入) with the search for comets (彗星) at which she was quite successful, William became for a time keen on the Sun. Inspired by Wilson's 1774 work, he put forth the theory of sunspots (太阳黑子), an opinion that (78) c to exist well into the nineteenth century.
