AWe know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration (迁移) is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.Recently (近来), scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.1.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _______.A. give birthB. enjoy warmer weatherC. find food more easilyD. find beautiful places2.The fish called “salmon”spends a long time in ______.A. salt waterB. riversC. fresh waterD. its birthplace3.The mice in northern Europe move when _______.A. they give birthB. the place gets too crowdedC. the weather is badD. they haven’t enough food4.

The migration of the fish called “salmon”is the most famous migration.C. Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.D. Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another, butsometimes we don’t.BThey had shared a flat with Watson for two years, so they knew that he slept like a dog. Any amount of noise in the flat quite failed to wake him up if he was sound asleep. If they even rushed into his room shouting his name to the skies, the sleeping Watson would not move. Even so they were surprised and amused when he told them about his holiday in Norfolk. He had spent nearly a week riding a bike slowly round the long coast-- line, sightseeing by day and camping out each night in a different place. He slept in a sleeping bag in a small tent, which he put up usually in a corner of a field near the roadside, with his bike locked onto one of the tent poles. Well, poor Watson woke up on the fifth morning about ten o’clock and looked about to find not only his bike and the tent pole gone but also the tent and all his clothes. Watson always slept with nothing on, so now he had to walk to the nearest house dressed only in his bed, in which he had made two holes for his feet.6. Watson’s one shortcoming was that he.A. slept a dead sleepB. camped out at nightC. made noise to the skiesD. slept in the field7. They knew Watson’s shortcoming because they.A. shared the same bedB. played with him for two yearsC. worked togetherD. lived together with him8.

When Watson woke up, he found.A. all his clothes were stolen except a short pair of trousersB. everything in the tent was goneC. he was sleeping in the open airD. he had to go to the nearest house with nothing on10. The last sentence of the paragraph tells us that Watson.A. made two holes and made a long pair of trousers of the sleeping bagB. put his feet out of the bed through the two holes and used the bed as his clothes.C. sent his two feet out because the bed was too small for him to stay inD. made two holes so that he could easily carry the bed to the nearest houseCThis dictionary tells you about English words and how to use them in reading, writing and speaking English. It not only gives the meaning of words, it can also help you with spelling, word building, grammar and pronunciation.To use your dictionary correctly, you will find two spellings for this word. “colour”is used in British English, while “color”is used in American English. When there are differences between British and American spelling, the dictionary shows it with the word “BrE”for British English and “AmE”for American English.The dictionary also helps you pronounce words correctly. If you turn to the inside back face, you will see all the phonetic letters(音标) with some words to show you how they are pronounced. Just look at the inside back cover when you’re not sure how to say a word.The most important reason for using a dictionary is to find out the meaning of a word—itsdefinition.In the dictionary, the definitions have been written using only 2,000 words. This means that the definitions of even the most difficult words are simple and easy to understand.11.of the words in the dictionary have two spellings.A. AllB. SomeC. FewD. One12.

He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had an accident. I hadn’t the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. “She meant more to me than anyone...even my own wife!”he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻）. I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩). “I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!”he said.Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her!”he said, and burst into tears again.16.

APRINCETON, NJ---Gallup’s annual Lifestyle Poll, conducted each December, asks American about their attitudes and behaviors towards pets. Here are some interesting facts about American and their pets:1.Six in ten American own some type of pet. Among pet owners, 73% own a dog and 49%own a cat.Pet ownership among the American public breaks down this way---as the chart(图表）below shows:2.Aside from dogs and cats, 10% of Americans own a fish and much smaller percentages own birds(5%), reptiles, snakes, or lizards(2%), and guinea pigs(2%), horses(2%), and rabbits(1%).3.Dogs tend to live with their owners without other canine(犬科的）companions; cats are a bit more likely to share their owner’s home with fellow felines(猫科动物）. Most dog owners, 59%, have just one dog, while cat owners are likely to have multiple cats(51%) as they are to have just one(49%).21.What are the favorite parts of most American pet owners?A.fishB.catsC.birdsD.dogs22.Among the general public, the percentage of cat owners is____.A.49%B.32%C.30%D.12%23.What information can we get from the last paragraph?A.Pet cats are less likely to be alone than pet dogs.B.Few cat owners have more than one cat.C.Most dog owners keep more than one dog.D.Most dog owners keep a cat as well.BMy shoe lesson number oneBack in my days as a consumer advocate(推销员），I was on my way to deliver a speech in Newfoundland. Sitting comfortably in the airplane seat, my mind was bobbing aimlessly on an ocean of emptiness. Suddenly I broke out in a cold sweat as I realized I had forgotten my dress shoes at home. Yikes!I was wearing running shoes for an important speech.I know, I could buy a new pair when I landed. It was too late, and the stores were already closed.What about in the morning? No, the next day was Sunday and my speech was scheduled at 9:00 a.m. Ninety seconds later, however, my cold sweat had miraculously been replaced with a single idea.The next morning, I began my speech: “ You might be wondering why I am wearing running shoes today. Well, it’s about this request her. When I’m done speaking, I’ll be running door to door and I want every one of you to come running with me, too.”My little “good-up” became a clever demonstration of action speaking louder than words.My shoes lesson number twoMy brother was getting married. We had just witnessed the signing of the papers at their house, and they were rushing over to another place for the ceremony. As we locked up their house, my wife’s sandal broke. She tried walking in it, but in vain. So off to the nearest shoe store we quickly went. We knew they would wait for us before starting the ceremony. What we did not know was how long they would wait.That day, my wife performed a miracle that no other woman had done before or since. She went into the store and came out just five minutes later with the perfect pair of sandals---breaking the old woman-shopping-for-shoes Olympic record into pieces!Perhaps the most important lesson here is that, country to popular belief, the shoes does not make the man （or woman). But the lack of shoes can build character.24.How does the author impress you with his first shoe story?A.He was very intelligent.B.He was too ambitious.C.He was strict and careful.D.He was really strict.25.What does the underline word “goof-up probably mean?A.ImageB. MistakeC. SuccessD. Present26.Before entering the shoe store, the author thought it______.A.Unlikely for his wife to finish shopping in a short time.B.A great pity to have to miss his brother’s weddingC.Important to test the quality of a new pair of shoesD.Strange to be in a difficult situation for a second time27.What message does the author convey through the text?A.emergencies can help shape our character.B.It’s hard to charge our character overnight.C.You can never judge a person by his looks.D.Never buy shoes without trying them on first.CTens of millions of years ago, an asteroid(小行星）hit what is now the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. The event led to a global mass extinction that has been linked to the end of the dinosaurs. New research shows what that great disaster led to is a modern age of fish.Sixty-six million years ago, the ocean was a different place. Sharks and octopus-like creatures were powerful. But scientist Elizabeth Sibert ways there were other important species as well. “ There were also many reptiles(爬行动物）in the ocean that were swimming around. And of course there were fish. Absolutely there were ray-finned fish around. It’s just that they weren’t very dominant（占优势的）.”Ms. Sibert is a graduate student at the University of California. She and her professor compared fossil fish teeth and shark scales in sediment（沉淀物）that dated before and after the mass death. “ Basically the deeper down you get, the older you get. So we looked at sediments from 75 million years ago to about 45 million years ago, looking every 200,000 years in some cases, and every 10,000 years in other cas es.”Fossil evidence showed that the ratio(比率）of fish to shark changed sharply after the asteroid hit. “ We see that instead of having about equal number of shark fossils and fish fossils, we see that the fish fossils more double and that trend continues w hile the shark fossils stay more or less the same.” Ms. Sibert explains.The study suggests that the mass extinction killed many animals at both the top and bottom of the ocean food chain. This permitted animals in the middle of the chain to increase their numbers. Those animals are the ray-finned fish that represent nearly all fish species today.Ms. Sibert says her next step is to go back to the micro-fossil record. She will try to learn from it how the fish dealt with other stresses in the ocean, like global warming.28.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. There were more sharks than reptiles before the asteroid event.B. Fish were already very powerful before the asteroid event.C. The dinosaurs disappeared partly because of the asteroid event.D. Animals on the land suffered more from the event than those in the ocean.29. In her research, Ms. Sibert studied sediments covering ______.A. 10,000 yearsB. 75 million yearsC. 200,000 yearsD. 30 million years30. After the asteroid hit, ________.A. the number of sharks almost doubledB. the number of fish fossils fell greatlyC. the number of sharks didn’t change muchD. the number of fish and sharks became equal31. What could be the best title for the text?A. The Base of Ocean Food ChainB. Why Did the Dinosaurs Die OutC. Asteroid Event Leads to Rise of FishD. Global Warming and the DinosaursDCats like climbing trees and there are logical reasons behind this behavior. Interestingly, due to some of their physical features, cats will meet trouble getting down from the trees after climbing up, which may seem unusual. In that case, we humans needn’t bother to offer a great deal of help.There are several reasons why cats climb trees, mostly to do with defensive purposes. Cats, as predators(捕食者), like to understand their environment well. As they are small animals, their scope of vision is considerably smaller than the outdoor environment of their yards or neighborhoods. Cats often climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings to help them see any potential dangers or potential prey （猎物）.While cats are predators, they are also vulnerable to attacks from larger animals, such as dogs or even other cats. A tree often provides a safe hiding place. In the wild, cars climb up trees to give them a resting or napping place that is out of predators’ range. It also helps disguise their presence, which can prevent any prey from noticing that there is a cat nearby.Some cats may climb trees for fun, on occasion, or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities. Kittens frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up anything and everything, from bookcases to trees to a person’s leg. Climbing practice is good for cats; it can impr ove their strength andflexibility and teach them an important defensive skill. To prevent them from practicing indoor climbing of your furniture, however, owners may wish to purchase a carpeted cat tree from climbing, and feel less guilty warning them away from the sofa.If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down, the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction. A cat’s claws curve inward, allowing it to grip onto surfaces while going up head first. Unfortunately, this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again. Eventually, most trapped kitties will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first, slowly shimmy（摇摆）. Either way, a cat up a tree is usually nothing to panic about unless it is injured or disabled; they are intelligent animals and will figure out how to get down sooner or later.32.In most cases, cats climb trees in order to __________.A. seek foodB. protect themselvesC. have funD. please their owners33. What’s the purpose of buying a carpeted cat tree?A. To train your cat in climbingB. To help protect your furnitureC. To keep your cat warm in winterD. To improve your cat’s claw skills34.Seeing your cat up a tree, you are supposed to ______.A. Offer it some food at onceB.lead it down slowlyC. Just take it easyD. Keep an eye on it all the time35.

Passively accepting the status quo (现状) is something that doesn't event cross my mind.My mother wrote poetry, books, and letters to the editor to try to change the world - some were published; others remained manuscripts that she worked and reworked with comments from authors she respected. She did not sit still.When, at ninety-three, illness left her only a short time to live, she told me that she had submitted her recent book of poetry to a publisher but hadn't received a response from them. So I called the publisher, only to learn that the company had stopped operating for lack of money. As my mother's health was slipping quickly, there wasn't time to find a different publisher. After a few weeks of feeling helpless, I began to look for another solution.Luckily, I found a printer, who was touched by my mother's story and quickly moved into action with me. We worked together to complete the book just a few days before I left to see my mother for the last time. I handed it to her gift-wrapped. Her pain medication made it hard for her to see and think clearly, and she struggled to read the title of the book I had given her. When she finally recognized her title, her face softened into a smile. "You remembered," she said and then passed away with no regret. And then I knew - she had expected all along that I wouldn't sit on my hands when in trouble and take action actively.Not finding a solution wasn't an option. And this has guided me through so much of my life. I live in the world of education and opportunity. This is a daily challenge. When faced with a problem, I can't simply shrug my shoulders and say, "I don't know." While I can't change the world alone, I can't accept the status quo, and I need to take action.24. Why did the author's mother receive no response after submitting her recent poetry?A. The readers didn't like her works.B. She was not a well-known writer.C. The publisher went out of business.D.

Do nothing.27. What did the author learn from her mother?A. It's never too late to write.B. Action speaks louder than words.C. One good turn deserves another.D. Two heads are better than one.CLucas Mwanzia, 17, is using assistive technology to search the Internet for information now. Today's class is on biology. Mwanzia is in eighth grade, having started school at a later age because he can hardly see anything. But before the new technology came into being, blind students like him in Kenya were still using Braille books for their studies.He says the technology has opened up new frontiers that were once inaccessible. "Braille books are not cheap and you have to use quite a sum to purchase one," Mwanzia explained. "But now since we have computers we get the books at virtually no cost. So we can download various books to read and then just close the program."The school adopted "assistive technology" six years ago, enabling blind students to access information from computers and iPads.Zachary Muasya, one of the school's teachers, was born blind. He has been teaching the students how to use the technology for about two years now. He says the technology presents opportunities that can level the playing field for his students. "Assistive technology equips the learners with very many skills that really make them independent in life," he said. "They can read materials like books, magazines, newspapers by themselves. And apart from that一assistive technology equips them with employable skills."The assistive technology costs $1,000 for a school to install. But an NGO called InAble has provided it to the schools at no cost. So far, four out of Kenya's 11 schools for the blind have adopted the technology. InAble says it will provide the funding for the remaining schools to come on board.Peter Okeyo, the program manager at InAble, says, "The fact is that they learnt that technology in primary and high school, but when they move to university, they realize there is not that technology, they have to go back to Braille."28. Why did Lucas Mwanzia start school at a later age?A. He was very poor.B. He had bad vision.C. There is no new technology then.D. There is no school for the blind.29. What disadvantages did Braille books have according to Paragraph 2?A. They're out of fashion.B. They're unfit for the blind.C. They're quite expensive.D. They're hard to read.30. From what Zachary Muasya said, we can infer that assistive technology_.A. is of great help to the blind studentsB. has been widely used by the schoolsC. is too expensive for the blind peopleD. makes the blind get more help from each other31.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The new technology has a bright future.B. The blind must receive further education.C. It's hard to adopt the technology.D. Some challenges remain for the blind.DIn New York, students at 18 schools participate in a program called We Future Cycle. Started by Anna Giordano in 2014 } it teaches kids to recycle, compost(制成堆肥)，and reduce food waste.Lunch areas at the participating schools are equipped with three clearly marked bins - compost, recycle and share. While the first two are common in schools, the third is rare, where kids can put their unwanted drinks, fruits, and even untouched sandwiches. Items in the container are available for any student that wants them. Whatever remains at the end of the day is donated to the food bank. Giordano says the three bins have helped reduce the number of trash bags from an average of 22 to just 2!To ensure kids adopt similar habits at home, the non-profit has created extensive curriculum to educate families about the importance of sorting waste into the proper streams of recycling, composting, trash and food to donate. They also urge parents to have open conversations with their kids about food choices.But, as we're all aware, kids aren't the only ones that waste food -- adults are equally bad, if not worse! To prevent that, Josh Treuhaft founded Salvage Supperclub in 2014. The occasionally organized dinners promise people a tasty multi-course meal for a mere $50 USD per person. It is also a plan to save waste because the delicious food is made from vegetables that are past their prime and, therefore, headed for the trash bin.The other catch? Customers have to eat their meals inside a dumpster(大型垃圾装卸车)! The place, of course, is totally clean. It is just a symbolic gesture. In addition to helping people rethink their actions, Treuhaft also helps them do good by donating part of the profits to non-profits devoted to fighting against food waste.32. What is mainly talked about in the text?A. The importance of saving food.B. Ways to form the habit of saving food.C. Positive moves to reduce food waste.D. The reasons for calling on people to share food.33. From the second paragraph we can infer that_.A. students are more generousB. the program enjoys a success in schoolsC. food is wasted seriously in ail schoolsD. students show no interest in the program34. What do we know about We Future Cycle?A. It has a very long history.B. It donates its profits to schools.C. It educates parents as well as children.D. It occasionally provides people with free dinner.35. What is the significance of eating in a dumpster according to Treuhaft?A. It is nicer and cleaner.B. It is environmentally friendly.C. It can save much money and energy.D. It can help people think about the food waste problem.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。
