George’s Secret Key to the Universe is an adventure story complete with villains(反面人物)and hero and is illustrated with enjoyable line-drawings.It involves a lost pig,a humorously portrayed(描写)intelligent computer,school bulies and a trip through the Solar System.Didactic discussions on aspects of modern physics,such as supernova explosions and black-hole physics are hung on this set-up.There are also fact boxes on physics and astronomy,and some photographs of astronomicalphenomena:planets,comets,galaxies(星系)and so on.Overall,the book is a serious effort to conveyfacts and ideas in present day astronomy and astrophysics,within a science-fiction adventure story. The mixture is great.Children love facts and adventure stories.The combination will catch their interest and keep them occupied for hours.After ten minutes of leafing through the book,my granddaughter Ruby was deeply absorbed and I had to promise to bring it back for her to read after I had completed my review.Like any educational tool,it will succeed for some and not for others.I suppose there should be more of the former. 16.Where do you think this passage is taken? A.From a news story. B.From a textbook. C.From a book review. D.From an advertisement. 17.Which of the following books is mainly reviewed in this passage? A.George’s Secret Key to the Universe. B.A Brief History of Time. C.The Nature of Space and Time. D.Hawking’s fact and fiction. 18.What is the author’s attitude towards the book being reviewed? A.It will be less successful. B.It will be more successful. C.It will be a complete failure. D.It all depends on Ruby. 19.The underlined word “leafing”(in the last paragraph)probably means ________. A.adding leaves to a book B.throwing away a book C.tearing up a book D.turning pages of a book B Like most big projects, learning to manage your mother well is what you should do. Here are what I believe the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising or revolutionary, but they have worked for many people. Try them. Remember your mother’s age.As children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age. Even when we become conscious of her as an individual,age does not change our view; she is still our mother.Knowing our mother’s age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better. Listen to your mother.I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are remarkably useful. If your mother knows that you respect her point of view, even if you do not share it, it will help her feel close to you. Remember that your mother has a past. A key step in managing our relationship with our mother is to find out about her early life. Niclle’s mother suffered much during the Second World War. “My parents are both Jewish-Turkish. They met in France and married young for love. They were in their twenties when war broke out and because they were Jews,they had to go into hiding. She does speak to me about the war, and I think it is important to know what she went through. It is a part of her life that must have affected her deeply.”Sometimes, in learning about our mother’s past, we know that it can encourage us to think about her whole life. Ask your mother about your childhood history.My grandparents died when I was young. If you are fortunate enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw(拼图)puzzle and ask as many questions as you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother. Keep a sense of humor about your mother. I have often listened to stories of difficult mothers and I have also listened to the following piece of advice which I have found most helpful:Don’t have a sense of humor failure about your mother. Remember that managing your mother is really about managing yourself.No matter how difficult we find her, it is important to remember that it is not her behavior itself that is causing us discomfort, but the way we feel about her behavior. We should follow the way of her life. Only then are you able to accept your mother-with all her failings. 20.The followings are the steps you can take to get on with your mother EXCEPT ________ . A.remembering your mother’s age B.sharing your roots and your childhood with your mother C.having a sense of humor failure about your mother D.managing yourself while managing your mother 21.What does the underlined word “them”refer to in the first paragraph? A.projects. B.mothers. C.steps. D.people. 22.Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage? A.It will help you have a better relationship with your mother if you respect her opinion. B.You should follow a most useful piece of advice-a sense of humor. C.The key measure of managing our mother is how we manage ourselves. D.It is unreasonable to expect our mother to change totally from the way she was brought up. 23.The main purpose of writing the text is ________. A.to give information about how you think of your mother B.to improve the relationship with your mother C.to keep a sense of humor about your mother all day long D.to accept your mother—with all her failings Ⅲ.短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) I sent my baby to the supermarket this morning.24.________ At the store,I had put her in a shopping cart,25.________ with some food and toys around herself.26.________ A small boy and his mother were ahead of me.27.________ The child was crying and begging for everything.28.________ “He wants some sweets or toys and his father29.________ won’t let him have.”I thought.30.________ Then I heard about his mother’s reply.“No!”she31.________ said,looking at my direction.“You may not have32.________ the baby-sister today.That lady got the last one!”33.________ 参考答案 1.A [ever since与现在完成时连用。

All of these animals share the Earth with us.They fascinate us with their beauty,their grace,and their speed.We love observing their behavior,and learning more about their habits.But just loving them is not enough.All of these animals are endangered.Many of them have died,and without special care,they may someday disappear from the Earth. Why is it important to care for animals like these?One reason is to protect the balance of life on Earth.Another reason is the beauty of the animals themselves.Each species of animal is special.Africa was once filled with an abundance of wild animals.But that is changing fast.One of these animals,the black rhinoceros,lives on the plains of Africa.It has very poor eyesight and a very bad temper!Even though the black rhino is powerful,and can be dangerous,its strength can’t always help it to escape hunters.Some people think that the rhino’s horn has magical powers,and many hunters kill rhinos for their valuable horns.This has caused the black rhino to be placed on the endangered species list. The elephant seems to represent all that is strong and wild in Africa.It once had no natural enemies,but is now endangered-killed for its ivory tusks. The fastest land animal,the cheetah,also lives in Africa.It,too,is becoming extinct as people take over more and more of the land that is the cheetah’s natural habitat. Imagine Africa without the powerful rhino,the gentle,intelligent elephant,or the lightning quick cheetah.Once they are gone,they are gone forever. 16.The best title for this passage would be “________”. A.Do what we can B.Gone forever C.Help animals D.Live or die 17.Why has the black rhino been placed on the endangered list according to the passage? A.Because its eyesight is poor and its temper is bad. B.Because it has a horn. C.Because it is believed that its horn has magical power. D.Because people think it is powerful and dangerous. 18.Which of the following does NOT support the main idea of the article? A.Ocean-dwelling animals are in danger of extinction as well. B.Beautiful birds like the great green macaw are also becoming extinct. C.Wherever people are careless about the land,there are endangered species. D.The elephant seems to represent all that is strong and wild in Africa. 19.How does the writer feel about the fate of endangered animals? A.Disinterested. B.Concerned. C.Optimistic. D.Confused. B Everyone can hardly manage to live without friendship.As we all know,in our life,all of us are sure to meet with all kinds of hardships,such as illness,accidents and other disasters.If we have no friends to help us out of these difficulties,we can hardly get to a new start.Everyone needs support in feelings,yet your family members can’t always give you so much support because of all kinds of reasons.At this time a true friend is very important.When you have made great progress in your work and made your mark,you need a friend to share your pleasure.On theother hand,when you suffer a terrible loss in life,you need a friend to listen to you and open your heart to him.Of course,everyone has to die,and when you are dying,how you wish your friend to understand you and help your folks! Since friendship is so important,we should try to make some true friends.How to find friends?A friend should first be true,pure,kind,friendly,enthusiastic and of course stress feelings and like to help others.If you can find a person with the same belief and interest,it is surely muchbetter.Remember when you have found an ideal person to be your friend,it doesn’t mean he or she will be your friend.You should open your heart,feeling and wish to him or her to gain his or her heart and feeling.When you have got a good friend,please remember that friends should try to help and support each other.When your friend has done something which doesn’t satisfy you so much,you should try to understand him.When your friend has done something wrong,you should try to forgive him.If so,your friend will be deeply thankful to you for your forgiveness.Your life will prove your most valuable possession is your friend. 20.You need a friend when you face ________. A.joys B.sorrows C.either joys or sorrows D.both joys and sorrows 21.What kind of friends is the best friend? A.The friend with the same work as you. B.The friend with the same amount of money as you. C.The friend with the same belief and interest as you. D.The friend with the same social position as you. 22.When you find an ideal friend,you should open your ________to him or her to gain his or hers. A.money B.heart,feeling and wish C.knowledge D.wish 23.When your friend has done something which is not so suitable,you should try to ________ him. A.understand and forgive B.discuss with C.accept D.argue with .短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) Dear Alice, I have just got some good news to tell to you.24.________ I win a national prize for painting last week.25.________ My father was so pleasing that he suggested26.________ I go to England for a holiday.I’d like to staying27.________ there for half a month,visiting place of interest28.________ or practicing my English as well.We’ve been29.________ writing to each for nearly a year now.I have30.________ often dreamed of talk face to face with you.31.________ I imagine you’ll be at vacation yourself by that32.________ time.Perhaps we could go out to do some33.________ sightseeing together.

Greta gave me two greatest gifts I’ve ever received.First, she taught me how to read.Second, she taught me how to forgive Sis for our quarrels and how to keep feeling sunny. Mr. Dinking, the local banker,tried to foreclose(取消抵押品赎回权)Greta’s house and land after her husband passed away.Thanks to my father and Uncle Johan,Greta got to keep everything.My father saidthat it was the least he could do for someone talented enough to teach me to read! Soon people were coming from miles to buy Greta’s homemade cakes, bread,cookies and icecream.Hank, the grocery store man, came each week to stock his shelves and bring Greta supplies.Greta even had me take a big apple pie to Mr.Dinking who became one of her best customers and friends.That’s just how Greta was.She could turn anyone in to a friend! Greta always said,“Dear,keep walking in sunshine!”No matter how terrible my day started, I always felt sunny walking home from Greta’s house-even beneath the winter starlight . I arrived at Greta’s house today just after sunset.An ambulance(救护车)had stopped a few feet from her door, its red lights flashing.When I ran into the old house,Greta recognized me right away.She smiled at me with her unforgettable twinkling blue eyes.She was almost out of breath when she reached out and softly touched my arm.Her last words to me were “Dear, keep walking in sunshine!” 16.What gifts did Greta give the author?

B The Vienna-based researchers showed that dogs will stop doing a simple task when not rewarded if another dog, which continues to be rewarded, is present. The experiment consisted of taking pairs of dogs and getting them to present a paw for a reward.On giving this “handshake”the dogs received a piece of food.One of the dogs was then asked to shake hands, but received no food.The other dog continued to get the food when it was asked to perform the task. The dog without the reward quickly stopped doing the task, and showed signs of anger or stress when its partner was rewarded. To make sure that the experiment was really showing the interaction between the dogs rather than just the frustration of not being rewarded,a similar experiment was conducted where the dogs performed the task without the partner.Here they continued to present the paw for much longer. Dr.Frcderike Range from the University of Vienna says this shows that it was the presence of the rewarded partner that was the greater influence on their behaviour. “The only difference is that one gets food and the other doesn’t.They are responding to being unequally rewarded.” she says. The researchers say this kind of behaviour,where one animal gets frustrated with what is happening with another,has only been observed in primates (灵长类) before. Studies with various types of monkeys and chimpanzees show they react not only to seeing their partners receiving rewards when they are not, but also to the type of reward. The dog study also looked at whether the type of reward made a difference.Dogs were given either bread or sausage, but seemed to react equally to either.Dr Range says this may be because they have been trained. 20.The dogs refused to give the paw when they ________. A.found another dog was given nothing B.felt they were not treated equally C.were aware they received less food D.were given too much reward 21.What would a dog do if it presented its paw alone? A.It would go on with the performance much longer. B.It would be too shy to present its paw. C.It would miss its partner. D.It would compare what it got with that of another. 22.According to the passage, compared with dogs, monkeys and chimpanzees ________. A.pay no attention to the type of reward B.only like to play interesting games C.pay attention to the type of reward as well as whether they are rewarded D.care more about how they are rewarded 23.Which of the following can best summarize the passage? A.Animals’ various ways to show anger. B.Dogs are more envious than man. C.Most animals want to be rewarded for their work. D.Animals also have a sense of fairness. .短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) Hi Susan, I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to return to your24.________ bike on time yesterday, I mean to give it 25.________ back to you before four in the afternoon, and I26.________ was hold up on my way back.Just before I27.________ turned corner of Park Street,I happened to 28.________ see an accident, A little girl was hurt and her 29.________ mother needed help.So I helped them going to 30.________ the nearest hospital.I stayed here for one and 31.________ a half hour and made sure that the girl was all 32.________ right.When I got back, it were already 6 p.m., 33.________ I hope you understand.

It looks,feels and weighslike your typical leather purse.That’s where the similarities end: This bag can wirelessly keep track of your belongings andremind you,just as you’re about to leave the house,to take your wallet. It can review the weatherreport and suggest that you grab an umbrella. This purse can even upload your favorite songs ontoyour scarf.Sure,a computering purse and seating set may seem like the stuff of science fiction. Butthese devices(装置),part of next generation of wearable computers,could become common placewithin a few years. Dupont created new super strong fibers that can conduct electricity and can bewoven into ordinarylooking clothes. And the chipmaker developed chip packaging allowingwearable computers to be washed,even in the heavyduty cycle.As a result,these new wearable devices are different from the heavy and downright sillyversions of the recent past,which often required users to be wrapped in wires and type on theirstomachs.Unlike their predecessors,these new wearable computers also make economic sense.When her bag becomes commercially available in two to three years. Nanda expects it will costaround $150,which is the price of an average leather purse.Here’s how the bag works:You place a special radiosignaltransmitting chip onto your wallet.A sim ilar radio in your purse picks up the signal and notifies you that you’ve forgotten to takeyour wallet.In turn,sensors on your purse’s handles will notify the computer that you’ve picked upthe purse and are ready to go.Already,these new kinds of wearable devices are being adopted for use inmarkets like autorepair,emergency services,medical monitoring and even,increasingly,for consumers at large.Indeed,more people will want to dress that bridge in the coming yearsmaking for a booming market for wearable computers that don’t look like something out of science fiction.16.Which of the following describes a wearable computer?A.It can be washed in washing machines.B.It is much heavier than a leather purse.C.It can download songs from the Internet.D.It is made of clothes conducting electricity.17.According to the passage,the new wearable computers ________. A.require users to operate on the stomachB.pick up the signals through wires and chipsC.are being applied in some different areas nowD.are smarter but more expensive than the old ones18.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A.The new wearable computers have become fashionable.B.People would like to learn more about the new computers.C.New wearable computers promise to sell well in the future.D.The idea of the purselike computers comes from science fiction. 19.The purpose of the passage is ________.A.to introduce a new kind of computerB.to explain the functions of computersC.to compare different types of computersD.to show how high technology affects our lifeBBernice Gallego sat down one day this summer,as she does prettymuch every day,and began listing items on eBay.She dug into a box and pulled out a baseball card.She stopped for a moment and admired the picture.“Red Stocking B.B.Club of Cincinnati,”the card read,under the reddish brown colorphoto of 10 men with their socks pulled up to their knees.As a collector and seller,it’s her job to spot old items that might have value today.It’s whatBernice,72,and her husband,Al Gallego,80,have been doing since 1974 at their Californiaantique(古玩)store.This card,she figured,was worth selling on eBay.She took a picture,wrote a description andput it up for auction(拍卖).She put a $10 price tag on it,deciding against $15 because it wouldhave cost her an extra 20 ter that night she got a few old inquiries—someone wanting toknow whether the card was real,someone wanting her to end the auction and sell him the cardimmediately.The card is actually 139 years old.Sports card collectors call the find“extremely rare”andestimate the card could fetch five,or perhaps,six figures at auction. Just like that,Bernice is the least likely character ever for a rarebaseball card story.“I didn’teven know baseball existed that far back,”Gallego says,“I don’t think that I’ve ever been to abaseball game.”The theory is that the card came out of a storage space they bought a few yearsback.It is not uncommon in their line of work to buy the entire contents of storage units for around$200.When she met with card trader Rick Mirigian,she found out what the card was—an 1869advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team,the Cincinnati Red Stockings.“When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich b ag and she was smoking acigarette,I almost fainted,”Mirigian says.“They’ve uncovered a piece of history that fewpeople will ever be able to imagine.That card is a history.It’s like unearthing a Mona Lisa or aPicasso.”20.What can we conclude from Paragraph 3?A.Bernice had to pay some fees for her card on eBay.B.Bernice wanted to end the auction that night.C.Bernice decided to sell the card for $15.D.eBay charged her 20 cents for the card.21.The underlined word“fetch”in Paragraph 4 most probably mean s“________”.A.go and bring B.add up toC.go down to D.be sold for22.From the passage,we may learn that________.A.Bernice is a baseball fanB.Bernice is the last person to purchase the rarebaseball card C.Bernice unexpectedly became the owner of the rarebaseball card D.Bernice didn’t realize the value of the card until she put it up for auction 23.What would be the best title for the passage?A.A Surprisingly Valuable DiscoveryB.Bernice Gallego—A Lucky CollectorC.Sports Card CollectorsD.The History of the Baseball CardⅢ.短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)It was a chance of a lifetime to win the first24.________prize on the Story Writing Show.All I had to do25.________was to write a story or present it.My teachers26.________have been telling me how great my writing was.27.________So if they had said was true,I would have a chance28.________of winning the prize.What were better,I had useful29.________help.There was Uncle Chen,gentleman living30.________near my house,who was a very much famous writer.31.________He agreed to reading my story and give me some32.________advices on how to write like a real writer.33.________参考答案1.D [soil指可生长作物的土壤,由题意可知D项为最佳答案。

A.Be a good performer in our own organization.B.Try to develop our skills and be a career activist.C.Enter a field where the hot jobs are.D.Transfer to other jobs that use computers.17.Some people are afraid of change because ________.A.they have got a hot jobB.they have no other better choicesC.they have got used to a certain jobD.they have no other skills and interests18.“Put all your eggs in one basket” here means ________.A.sticking to only one particular jobB.trying your best to do something wellC.many jobs come and go quicklyD.entering a field where the hot jobs are19.What is the best job for you to choose according to the writer?A.Something that is both hot and interesting.B.Something that brings you a good source of income.C.Something that will always exist in the future.D.Something involving your strengths and interests.BLooking for a lowcost path to selfknowledge?A way to mine(挖掘)your subconscious(潜意识)for clues to your motivations,desires and fears?No need to have years of treatment or analysis.Just look to your dreams.“You can ignore your dreams,but you are really doing harm to yourself.” says Lauri Quinn Loewenberg,“If so,y ou’re letting red flags pass you by,letting great ideas pass you by.”Some sleep researchers believe dreams are more directly related to our moods and emotions and can serve as tools to selfunderstanding.Dreams occur during the REM(rapid eye movement) cycles of sleep each night.For adults,that means about every 90 minutes.The first period of REM sleep may be short,5 to 10 minutes,followed by longer periods,finally reaching an hour or more in the fourth or fifth period. When people are dreaming,brain scans show a lot of activities.The brain is online during dreams.The experiences you have during the day are connected during dream sleep.People we know or experiences we’ve had at different times in our lives may be different in the same dream.AmyBeth Gilstrap has had the same recurring dream that annoyed her since Hurricane Katrina drove her and her daughter and friends out of New Orleans.Ms Gilstrap says,“It is always spies.My job is to get people to some place.”She’s certain the dream is related to her effort in the hurricane to help several families leave.Sometimes her cats also are part of that dream.That’s because she went back into New Orleans,before it was allowed,to rescue her cats.Today,through brain scans scientists have known that the parts of the brain that control emotion and longterm memory are active during REM sleep.20.The passage is mainly to tell readers ________.A.dreams are mainly caused by hard workB.dreams can offer us the key to selfknowledgeC.dreams are only activities of our brainsD.how dreams help us solve our problems21.According to the words from Lauri Quinn Loewenberg,________.A.dreams can make you feel badly illB.you often have red flags in your dreamsC.dreams will make your life colorfulD.you may get great help from your dreams22.According to the passage,the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.A.Ms Gilstrap’s dreamB.Ms Gilstrap’s jobC.Hurricane KatrinaD.New Orleans23.According to the passage,when you are dreaming at night,________.A.your dream is connected with your work that dayB.the dream will generally last about 5 to 10 minutesC.the longer dream should be in the latter part of the sleepD.your eyes will still move slowly during the timeⅢ.短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)People who talk and sing to plants are 24.________crazy(发疯),according to Bragmar,a agriculture 25.________expert,“In fact,singing and talking to some plants 26.________make them grow better.”says Bragmar.The reason27.________is quite simple.When we sing or talk to plants,we 28.________breathe out carbon dioxide(CO2)what plants need 29.________to live or grow.Plants take in(吸收)the carbon 30.________dioxide during sunlight hour and produce oxygen 31.________which people need to live.Singing and talking are 32.________ effective,however,only during the night. 33.________参考答案1.C [考查介词的用法。
