A Native American would make one by honing a piece of stone so that (2) had one or two sharp edges, and (3) attaching it to a wooden handle. The young men would spend many hours practicing to become expert (4) the tomahawk's use. It became an excellent weapon. This was especially true when used by a brave (5) .To make a tomahawk, the Native American first had to find a (6) that was the proper shape and weight. Then it had to be attached to a (7) . One way to do this was to bore or burn a hole (8) a wooden stick, then push the stone through it and tie the stone and wood (9) with strips of hide. Another way was to split the wood, force the stone (10) the sides of the split, and finally tie the divided ends of the stick together.The tomahawk could be used for chopping twigs and other rough cutting jobs. However its primary purpose was as a (11) . Normally, the warrior wielded his tomahawk in hand-to-hand combat, swinging it at his enemies in hopes of stunning them, (12) cutting them. On rare occasions it was (13) . But unless the tomahawk was perfectly balanced, tossing it was an extremely poor method of hitting a target.The type of stone use determined how (14) it was. But even with the best of stones, it would (15) be as keen as a steel ax. Soon (16) the Europeans settled in North America, the stone-and-wood tomahawk was replaced by steel hatchets. These were manufactured in Europe for the settlers, (17) for trade with the Native Americans.Some tribes had the (18) of burying their tomahawks in the ground whenever a peace had been declared with their enemies. Presumably, it was this custom (19) gave rise (20) the phrase " to bury the hatchet".（分数：10.00）(1).A. to use B. usedC. usingD. use（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(2).A. it B. theyC. whichD. you（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(3).A. so B. asC. thenD. after（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(4).A. on B. byC. withD. in（分数：0.50）A.C.D.(5).A. warrior B. fighterC. soldierD. air（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(6).A. wood B. stoneC. steelD. iron（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(7).A. handle B. wheelC. wireD. hook（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(8).A. in B. onC. atD. through（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(9).A. again B. andC. togetherD. so（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(10).A. between B. toC. byD. through（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(11).A. tool B. weaponC. medicineD. harness（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(12).A. more thanB. less thanC. rather thanD. much than（分数：0.50）B.C.D.(13).A. sole B. boughtC. stolenD. thrown（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(14).A. valuable B. heavyC. sharpD. accurate（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(15).A. possible B. neverC. certainlyD. often（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(16).A. before B. thenC. afterD. until（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(17).A. of courseB. ideallyC. reallyD. specifically（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(18).A. custom B. wayC. advantageD. goodness（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(19).A. which B. thatC. itD. what（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(20).A. at B. aboutC. toD. into（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.二、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Fencing, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, was a method for (1) disputes in which opponents dueled to the death. Today, fortunately, it is a sport (2) opponents use dueling swords that have the points covered. This is done to prevent (3) . The fencers also wear face masks, padded jackets, and gloves for (4) .The foil, the saber, and the épée are all used in modem fencing. These (5) are all quite different. The foil has a flexible, four-sided (6) and a circular guard to protect the hand. The saber has a flat, thin blade and a hand (7) that curves around the knuckles. The épée has a rigid, three sided blade and a large circular hand guard.The (8) of this sport is to touch an opponent with your dueling sword without being touched (9) .A point is given for each touch. In many championship meets, an electrical device is used to record(10) . Men as well as women are allowed to enter the competition. It is (11) to both. However they do not compete against each other. Scoring is different for (12) . Five points are needed to win a men's bout in foil; three in épée. Four points are needed to win a (13) bout.The rules for contests using the foil, saber, and épée are basically the (14) .However there are (15) differences. With the foil, points can be scored only when the opponent's torso is touched with the covered tip of the foil. With the saber, points are (16) when any part of the opponent's body except the legs is touched by (17) the tip or edges of the blade. In épée duels, points are scored when any part of the opponent's body is touched with the blade tip. Fencing is a sport that requires grace and skill. The basic movements of attack (the thrust) and (18) (blocking the thrust) both demand muscular coordination of hand, foot, and body, as well as the thorough knowledge of techniques and tactics. Agility and quick thinking are equally important. (19) is not required. Therefore, both the young and the old, (20) of whom may be very strong, can enjoy this sport.（分数：10.00）(1).A. settling B. enforcingC. enjoyingD. discussing（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(2).A. which B. thatC. in whichD. it（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(3).A. theft B. injuryC. hungerD. disease（分数：0.50）A.B.C.(4).A. protest B. deathC. birthD. protection（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(5).A. weapons B. masksC. jacketsD. groves（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(6).A. shirt B. bladeC. helmetD. shoe（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(7).A. socks B. faceC. guardD. hair（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(8).A. object B. subjectC. disputeD. theme（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(9).A. in shortB. in summaryC. in briefD. in return（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(10).A. smells B. touchesC. tastesD. interests（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(11).A. closed B. lostC. openD. passed（分数：0.50）A.B.D.(12).A. all B. everyC. neitherD. each（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(13).A. women's B. men'sC. children'sD. youth's（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(14).A. different B. sameC. likeD. as（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(15).A. costly B. majorC. slightD. numerous（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(16).A. handed B. preventedC. touchedD. scored（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(17).A. either B. neitherC. otherwiseD. nor（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(18).A. offence B. defenseC. arrestD. attack（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(19).A.

But some have raised concerns about genetically engineered crops.In nature, genetic diversity is created within certain 68 .A rose can be crossed with a different kind of rose, but a rose will never cross with a potato. Genetic engineering, 69 usually involves taking genes from one species and inserting them into another 70 to transfer a desired characteristic. This could mean,for example, selecting a gene which leads to the production of a chemical with anti-freeze 71 from an artic fish, and inserting it into a potato or strawberry to make it frost-resistant. 72, then, biotechnology allows humans to 73 the genetic wallsthat separate species.Like the green revolution, 74 some call the gene revolution contributes to the problem of genetic uniformity---some say even more so 75 geneticists can employ techniques such as cloning and 76 culture(培养), processes that produce perfectly 77 copies. Concerns about the erosion of biodiversity, therefore, remain. Genetically altered plants, however, raise new 78,such as the effects that they may have on us and the environ ment. “We are flying blindly into a new 79 of agricultural biotechnology with high hopes, few constraints, and little idea of the potential 80,” said science writer Jeremy Rifkin.61.

This is “digital” 5 of a digital option: ., it pays out only if an underlying index lies in a narrow, discrete range. In effect, Longitude has created a horse race, where each “horse” wins if andfalls in a specified range.

That spurred ARS and the livestock industry to take a proactive approach to addressing animal13issues, making sure that guidelines are based on facts 14 through scientific research. The goal is to share research findings with the retail food industry and others so that the livestock industry can improve its 15 guidelines.Ten years ago, to 16 these concerns, ARS started a research program on livestock behavior and stress. The scientists involved were tasked with finding out whether modern farming practices were17 stressing animals. And if so, could scientific methods be developed to measure this stress so that18 could be evaluated objectively rather than subjectively?A decade later, the 19 answer is “yes” to both questions, Many had expected the an swer to be “no” on both counts, but science works independently 20 people’s opinions.1.
