(A)
The plan: turn Mars into a blue world with streams and green fields,
and then fill it with creatures (生物) from the earth. This idea may
sound like something from a science fiction (科幻
小说), but it is actually being taken seriously by many researchers.
This suggeste d future for the ―red planet‖ will be the main topic
for discussion at an international conference hosted by NASA (美国宇航局) this week. Leading researchers as well as
science fiction writers will attend the event. It comes as NASA is
preparing a multi billio n dollar Mars research programme. ―Turning Mars into a little earth has long been a topic in science fiction,‖said Dr Michael Meyer, NASA‘s senior scientist for astrobiology (太空生物学). ―Now, with scientists exploring the reality, we can ask what
are the rea l possibilities of changing Mars.‖
Most scientists agree that Mars could be turned into a little earth,
although much time and money would be needed to achieve this goal.
But many experts are shocked by the idea. ―We are destroying our
own world at an unbelievable speed and now we are talking about ruining
another planet,‖ said Paul Murdin, of the Institute of Astronomy,
Cambridge, UK. Over the past months, scientists have become increasingly
confident they will find Martian life forms. Europe and America‘s robot
explorers have found proof that water, mixed with soil, exists in large
amounts on the planet.
In addition, two different groups of scientists announced on March
28 that they had found signs of methane (甲烷) in the Martian atmosphere (大气). The gas is a waste product of living
creatures and could be produced by microbes (微生物) living in the
red planet‘s soil.
But scientists such as Dr Lisa Pratt, a biologist at Indiana
University, say that these microbes will be put in danger by the little
earth pr oject. ―Before we have even discovered if there is life on Mars,
we are talking about carrying out projects that would destroy all these
native life forms, all the strange microbes that we hope to find buried
in the soil,‖ said Dr Pratt. This view is share d by Monica Grady, a planetary scientist at the Natural History Museum, London. ―We cannot risk starting a global experiment that would wipe out the precious
information we are looking for.‖ she
said，―This is just wrong.‖

Norah had a cottage on a cliff above a big bay. In winter it could
be very nasty because of strong winds and sea spray. In fact, when a
gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust
might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.
Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the
colourful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a
fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top
and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with
trees and bushes that liked salt.
But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very
much. At weekends she could sit our of doors in the sun, looking at the
beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she
could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In
the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and
in the end it really became quite annoying for Norah and her husband.
When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving,
expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun
for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do
but entertain and listen to them.
This went on for several years. Norah did not wish to appear rude by
refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she
was getting tired every summer.
Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser
while she was doing her hair. ―You‘re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?‖said the hairdresser. ―Why don‘t you try my way of escaping?‖
―What‘s that?‖ asked Norah.
―Well,‖ the hairdresser answered, ―when the bell rings, I put on
my coat and take my shopping bag. If it‘s someone I don‘t want to see, I say innocently, ?I‘m sorry, but I‘ve got to go out.‘ But...‖

B.If it‘s someone I like to see, I say, ―How lucky! I‘ve just come in!‖
C.If it‘s someone I like to see, I say, ―How happy to see you! I was going shopping, but now I‘ve changed my mind.‖
D.If it is fine that day, I say, ―I‘m tired of this, but I‘ll show you around the place, anyhow.‖

Email has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some
experts think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than
good.
Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse,
the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers.
It is also changing the way we interact(交流) and
build relationship. These are a few of recently recognized features
of email, say experts, that should cause individual and organizations to
rethink the way they use email.
―Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits, ‖says Naomi Baron, a professor of
linguistics at American University. She says the poor spelling,
grammar, punctuation(标点符号)
and sentence structure of emails reflect a growing unconcern to the
way we write.
Baron argues that we should not forgive and forget the poor writing
often sh own in emails. ― The more we use email and its tasteless
writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,‖ the professor says.
Others say that despite its poor prose(文字), email has finished
what several generations of
English teachers couldn‘t: it has made writing fashionable again.
―Email is a critical new communication technology,‖ says Ian Lancashire, a University of Toronto professor of English.―It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that
existed before emai l. It is the purest form of written speech.‖
Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who
are scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because of email‘s close similarity to speech.―It‘s like a circle of four or five people around a
campfire,‖ he says.
Still, he accepts that this new found freedom to express themselves
often gets people into
trouble.―Almost everyday I get emails that apologies of previous emails,‖ he reports.
In the US, the number of emails sent in a day exceeds(超过) the number of letters mailed in a
year. But more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact. 68.The passages mainly shows us that
_______________.
A.people should stop using email to communicate
B.experts hold
different opinions about email C.Americans only use email to communicate D.email makes people lose interest in English 69.In Lancashire‘s opinion, email is a wonderful technology because_______________.
A.it can be used all over the world
B.it is the fastest way to
communicate C.we can express ourselves in a free way D.we can save a lot of paper
70.Which of the following is NOT true about email?
A.It is changing the way of communication.
B.It is used more than
letters in the US. C.It helps us write better. D.It causes us to write
more.
71.Writer discusses Email by _____________in this passage.
A.giving examples
B.giving others' remarks
https://www.doczj.com/doc/d26815194.html,ing arguments
D.objective description
(E)
Happy birthday!Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they
do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle
on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity (成熟)— or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we‘re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle(奇迹) of growth in others,as well. For
instance,seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us
feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a
wonderful process(过程). But growi ng old? That‘s a
different story.
Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心) American
culture. Most Americans like to look young,act young and feel young.
As the old saying goes,
―You‘re as young as you feel.‖ Older peo ple joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some
countries value the aged as a source of experience and
wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at
least ―young at heart.‖
Many older America ns find the ―golden years‖ to be anything but golden. Economically,
―senior citizens‖ often struggle just to get by. Retirement(退休) at age 65 brings a sharp decrease
in personal income. Social security(安全) benefits usually cannot
make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition(营养), medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination.
In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person
and
wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely — even cheated and robbed. However,dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.
Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast.
Why? People are living
longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged ―baby boomers‖ are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may
soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are ―in‖. Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers.
72.Growing up is a wonderful thing because ___________.
A.people can celebrate their birthdays
B.people can become more mature and wiser
C.people can receive many presents
D.people will feel younger at heart
73.We can infer from the second paragraph that ____________.
A.young people lack experience and wisdom
B.American older people often joke about their old age
C.American culture is very young
D.different countries have different opinions on the old age
74.The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 3) means―_____.‖
A.The golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive
good medical care B.The old people in America are leading a hard life
without good nutrition, medical care or housing
C.The old in America have to retire at the age of 65
D.American social security benefits are not good
75.From the last paragraph we know tha t the underlined word ―in‖ can be replaced by _____.
A.serious
B.bad
C.disappearing slowly
D.growing fast

42.B。even表示程度递进。
43.D。从后面我们知道，看到这一景观年轻人动了心，他受到了某种启发。
44.C。在返途中，他中途下车。
45.A。ind one‘s way有―不辞劳苦找到‖之意。way为普通用语，常可作比

57.B。细节题。根据短文所述，科学家反对这个设想的理由有:―We are destroying our own
world at an unbelievable speed and now we are talking about ruining
another planet‖, 和that would destroy all these native lifeforms。B项没有提到。
58.A。推测题。根据scientists have become increasingly confident they
will find Martian life
forms. Europe and America‘s robot explorers have found proof that
water, mixed with soil, exists
in large amounts on the planet的内容，我们知道科学家越来越相信火星上
存在生命，因为有证据表明火星土壤中存在大量的水，故可断定水是生命存在的关
键要素。
59.B。推理题。根据The gas(methane) is a waste product of living
creatures and could be produced
by microbes living in the red planet‘s soil可知，火星大气层中存在甲烷的迹象，而甲烷是活着的动物产生的废物，据此科学家推断这可能是生活在火星
上的微生物产生的。故可得出结
论:火星上可能存在微生物，主要证据是火星在大气层中发现了甲烷的迹象。

烦恼，又不会得罪客人，两全其美，可谓良策。故C最佳。
67.B。推断题。此题考查考生的逻辑推断能力，需要考生把握文章的逻辑关
系。But 暗示了前后结果和理由相反或不同。如果这个客人不大想见，就可以说―
我正准备出去购物‖。如果这个客人确实想见，她就可以说―我刚刚购物回来‖。
故B最佳。
68.B。主旨大意题。根据...but some experts think the resulting spread
of bad English does more
harm than good.及Others say that despite its poor prose, email has
finished what several
generations o f English teachers couldn‘t: it has made writing fashionable again.等处我们可以归纳出:本文主要陈述了对电子信件不同的观点。
69.C。细节题。根据this new found freedom to express themselves可以看出Lancashire的观点，他认为电子信件可以使人自由地表达思想和情感，类似
于口头语言。 70.C。推断题。根据Email has increased the spread of
careless writing habits可知，电子邮件促使了不良写作习惯的形成，故C项说法不正确。
71.B。写作方法判断题。作者在整篇文章中都有在引用别人对于电子邮件的评价，没有表示自己的态度。
72.B。细节理解题。文章第一段专门谈了这个问题:成长是一件令人高兴的事情。 73.D。推断题。第二段倒数第二句说,一些国家的人们很看重老年人,认为他们是经验和智慧的化身,而在美国,人们并不这样看待,可见D选项是正确的。

As we all know, many middle school students smoke and there are a
few reasons for it.
At present middle school students always have much to learn and many
exams to pass, as a
result, some students have to reduce their pressure by smoking. Some
students learn to smoke only because they think smoking is modern and fashionable. Still some students try to attract others' attention by
smoking. To our surprise, some students can' t help following stars to
smoke.
In my opinion, middle school students shouldn't smoke, on the one hand, smoking does great harm to our health and can even kill us coldly, on the other hand, smoking also costs us much money and affects our normal life. What' s worse, smoking can cause some students to do something against the law. I wish all the young smokers to stop smoking at once.
A ★ For years, he had difficulty saving to buy a house because something would always happen and use more money. Although he made efforts, he simply could not go long before spending the extra money that he had saved. Then one day a car accident badly damaged the car his wife was driving. The repairs might cost them five thousand dollars. Unfortunately, they were now in debt (债务) and so the car would have to wait. He realized that they needed a solution to their money problems. He worked long and hard for weeks, saving and managing his money in a way he had never done before. In a few months he had saved enough money to have his wife’s car repaired. Once the car was repaired, he discussed with his wife how quickly they had put aside the money they needed. During their discussion his wife encouraged him to open a second account (账户) so they could continue to put away the same amount of money that they were saving every week for the car repair. This money would go towards the house they had always wanted to buy. In a little over a year he saved more than twenty thousand dollars and was able to make the down payment (首付款). He did something in a short while that he had failed to achieve in his previous attempts. This man’s experiences gave him a different feeling about money. He and his wife have continued to keep their second account. This time they have decided to start saving for their retirement, putting away just a little less every week than they did for their house. One man developed a new set of good qualities because he had a goal that was important for him to achieve — he made a plan to achieve it and followed through. The experience of a single bad luck taught him a valuable lesson and challenged him to plan his saving, and spending habits again. In the process he also changed his
高考英语阅读理解专题训练精品题（5） Passage Fifteen (Contribution of Coeducation) Imagining being asked to spend twelve or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of own sex. How would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with y ou, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children –conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute! Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief aims of educations is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock. A co-educational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical advantage it is ( to give just a small example ) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girl or vice-versa. When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place. But perhaps the greatest contribution of co-education is the healthy attitude to life it encourages.

You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. 21．When you do something wrong, _______________. A. you may correct it

It is something far less unhappy than you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that.② At some time or another, every one of us has to “face the music”, especially (尤其) as children. We can all remember father s angry words “I want to talk to you”. And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was! In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If...that means parents cold faces and contempt (轻 视) of the teachers and classmates. “To face the music” is well known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter (无论) how terrible the whole thing might be, because you know you have no choice.
高一英语阅读训练 Too many people think that global warming is not a threat, but I think it is one of the biggest problems. Our world has been greatly affected by climate change and its critical that people, young and old, work together to fight it. How are children supposed to fight global warming if they grow up not knowing about its dangers? Children should be taught ways they can help in primary school, which is why it is critical that more schools offer environmental education classes. I think the nation should require schools to have a class about being “green”——Green Living could be its name. Every school should teach students about global warming, its effect, and what they can do to reduce their carbon footprints. In the classes, students could be assigned(安排)to find solutions to everyday energy problems, while learning about their influence on the earth and how we all can help. Students will probably use what they have learned in class at home, where it will affect the whole family. However, to be effective, schools must take steps to be “green” too. What would children be learning if the school’s lights were always left on and there were no recycling dustbins? When schools are renovated(修缮) or new ones are built, towns should support an eco-friendly design that would save energy and reduce power bills. Green living and green schools are part of a new wave that should be sweeping the nation, but is not. How will our future leaders respond after years of living in a community where preserving our world’s natural integrity(完整性) just isn’t considered important? Schools and the government should be responsible for teaching young people about global warming quickly. 1.In the passage, the author suggests that it should be necessary to_______ A.make it clear if global warming is a threat. B.teach students ways to build a friendly relationship C.give children environmental education classes D.help schools develop effective educational programs 2. According to the passage, in order to make schools “green”, _______ A. schools should be enlarged B. recycling dustbins should be replaced by new ones C. students should protect our natural integrity D. people should turn off the lights when no one is there 3. The author is eager to tell the readers that_______ A. more money should be provided to equip the school with recycling dustbins. B. we should take action to prevent global warming before it is too late C. government should close more polluted factories D. we should avoid a new sandstorm sweeping the nation 4. The underlined part “our future leaders” in the last paragraph refers to______ A. the leaders of our country B. the residents of a community

If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus. 1). Lake Van Lake Van is the must－visit of all lakes on this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake there.

第三部分名人故事（五） 21. Albert Einstein, a Great Scientific Thinker 艾伯特?爱因斯坦—伟大的科学思想家 艾伯特?爱因斯坦，举世闻名的德裔美国科学家，现代物理学的开创者和奠基人。爱因斯坦的狭义相对论成功地揭示了能量与质量之间的关系，解决了长期存在的恒星能源来源的难题。近年来发现越来越多的高能物理现象，狭义相对论已成为解释这种现象的一种最基本的理论工具。其广义相对论也解决了一个天文学上多年的不解之谜，并推断出后来被验证了s的光线弯曲现象，还成为后来许多天文概念的理论基础。大大推动了现代天文学的发展。 Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was one of the greatest and most original scientific thinkers of all time. Born of Jewish parents at Ulm in Germany, he completed his education in Switzerland and got his Ph. D. at the University of Zurich. He went to live in the United States in 1933 because of the rise of Nazism in Germany and Hitler’s persecution of the Jews. In 1905, while still at Zurich, he published his Special Theory of Relativity, which was based on things everyone may have noticed. If two trains are standing alongside each other and one train starts to move, a person sitting in the train may wonder whether his own train is moving or the other is moving, and before he finds out what is happening, he can see that one train is moving relative to the other. From this and also from other more complicated facts, Einstein came to the conclusion that all motion is relative and that there is really no such thing as absolute motion. Some of the other conclusions he drew are that nothing can go faster than light, and that if something such as a ruler was moving faster and faster it would seem to get shorter and shorter as its speed was near the speed of light. By 1915, Einstein had made known his General Theory of Relativity. He also improved on Newton’s theory of gravity. Most o f his theories have been tested and found to be true though some may sound strange. For his important work he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics. Towards the end of his life, Einstein was asked by a group of students to explain his complicated Theory of Relativity. He said, “When you sit with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute; but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, it seems like an hour. That is relativity.” Comprehension Questions:
