He was tired and hungry; he couldn’t climb trees or collect fruit with his hands 43 . What if he just let go?Letting go of such 44 things seemed crazy, but what else could he do? He was so tired. Seeing the nest fruit tree and smelling its fruit, the monkey stopped. He 45 the wooden apples and reached up for his meal.

Choose the best answer that answers each of the questions or completes each of the unfinished statements according to what you have read.(30 points)AWhen a child is told he is “uncool”, it can be very painful. He may say he doesn’t care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But, ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it’s not there.Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you s ay, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn’t matter！”，children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.There are things that patents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super”, When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.( )56. A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may _________.A. care nothing about itB. develop a sense of angerC. do something uncool purposelyD. pretend to get hurt very much( )57. A teacher can help an unpopular child by __________.A. seeing the child as the teacher’s favouriteB. asking the child to do something for partnersC. forcing other children to make friends with the childD. offering the child chances to show his good qualities.( )58. How can parents help their child fit in better?A.By cooking delicious food for himB.By being kind to his schoolmatesC.By forcing him to invite friends homeD.By taking him to have picnics in the park( )59. Which of the following is TRUE？A.Children doesn’t care others’ comments on themB.It’s only teacher’s work to make children popular.C.Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.D.Inviting children’s friends to family activities is good for them to makefriends.( )60. The passage mainly talks about __________.A.how to help an unpopular childB.why some children are unpopularC.who is responsible for unpopular childrenD.how to find out good points of unpopular childrenBParents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops. New research has determined that the ability to quantify develop much sooner than most parents realize.Kristy VanMarle, professor of the University of Missouri, has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown, infants(婴儿)are able to quantify substances(物质)—like sand or water—as early as 10 months. As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough, infants will choose the larger amount，especially when it comes to food.With the assistance of her team researchers, VanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups：one containing a small amount of food, and one containing a larger amount. Consistently, the babies chose the larger amount."Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see；however, infants don’t seem to count things like water or sand. "vanMarle said. "What we’re saying is that they can quantify substances；it’s just much harder. The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories. They decide which amount is larger, and they almost always select the larger one. ""This information further refutes(驳斥)the long-held idea that babies know nothing of the world. "VanMarle said."Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures. We’ve discovered a 1ot of early abilities. I think for parents, i t should be exciting to know that there’s somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world，and that knowledge is guiding their development. "VanMarle said.In the future, VanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a chi ld’s progress in math-related skills, although programs marketed to increase those abilities. such as "Baby Einstein"，still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study( )61. The quantifying ability refer to the ability to ___________________.A. choose between different substancesB. get much knowledge of the worldC. identify the quantity of somethingD. obtain math-related skills( )62. What is mainly talked about in Paragragh4?A. The process of doing researchB. The scientific findingsC. The final choice of infantsD. The observation of infant’s behavior( )63. Babies choose the larger amount of food_____________.A. by saying numbersB. with the help of parentsC. on personal preferenceD. through their natural abilities （）64. We can learn from the text that_____________.A. some parents don’t care about their kidsB. people used to think the world is known to babiesC. little research has been done on infantsD. scholars have different opinions on baby- training programs（）65.

Unique Quantifying MethodsCSHANGHAI-----Partly because of a string of malfunctions and the July 23 train crash in Wenzhou, the Beijing—Shanghai high-speed railway was not as popular in its first month of operation as many had expected.In a news release on Monday, the Minister of Railways said the railway had transported 5.26 million passengers from July 1 to July31，or170,000 passengers a day on average.And an average of 179 trains-----including both those that run at 200km/h and at 300km/h trains----were on the line every day, and the trains had an occupancy rate(上座率) of 107%, the ministry said. To many who traveled, that last figure no doubt seems puzzling. How, after all, could carriages that were often half empty have been 107% occupied? Zhao Jian, professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, said the figure is not a good reflection of reality. He accounted for it by nothing that a seat aboard one of the trains would be said to have a 200% occupancy rate if one passenger had sat in it from Beijing to Tianjin and then another passenger had occupied the same seat from Suzhou to Shanghai.Despite the impressiveness of those figures, travelers will find, perhaps to their surprise, that they will have little trouble buying tickets to ride the 1,318-km-long high-speed rail line. By 7:30 pm on Monday, passengers could still buy 754 second-class tickets and 148 first-class tickets for a high-speed train that is to leave from Shanghai for Beijing on Tusday afternoon, according to the China Railway Customer Service Center’s website. The train contains 1,066 seats.The story was different for those who want to travel by air between Shanghai and Beijing. Luo Zhuping, board secretary of China Eastern Airlines, said seats on the company’s flights on that route are selling well; 90 percent of them continue to be occupied.The situation was different in the first week after the Beijing-Shanghaihigh-speed train began operating on the last day of June. The airline then saw the number of travelers using its service fall by 20 percent and began offering generous discounts to draw in more passengers. Few such incentives are being given now, he said. Still, passengers have not totally abandoned high-speed rails in the days following the Wenzhou train crash, which has killed 40passengers and injured 191. ( ) 66. Which of the following is NOT true about the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed train?A. It began operating on June 30th.B. There are trains that run at different speeds.C. An average of 179 trains were on the line every day.D. On average, 5.26 million passengers take it a day in July.( ) 67. What made many people who traveled puzzled?A. The train’s speedB. The number of the trainsC. The train’s occupancy rate.D. The seats number of the train.( )68. According to Zhao Jian, the occupancy rate of the train is ___________.A. unrealB. inaccurateC. unbelievableD.unreasonable( ) 69. What can we infer from the words of the board secretary of China Eastern Airlines?A.Airlines offer more discount to attract passengers.B.The high-speed railway has a great impact on airlines.C.Airlines aren’t affected by high-speed railway so much.D.The high-speed railway is much more popular than airlines.( ) 70. What can we know from the 4th paragraph?A.The distance from Beijing to Shanghai is 1318km.B.Passengers can buy tickets only at 7:30 pm on Monday.C.There is some trouble buying the tickets from Shanghai to Beijing.D.There are 754 second-class seats and 148 first-class seats in atrainPARTⅤ: WRITING (45 points)Section A (10 points)Direction: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.It’s easy to see how the sawfish got its name. These frightfu l creatures can grow to be more than 6 meters long. Their bodies are flat and winged, like underwater airplanes. And their noses are shaped like chainsaws.Sawfish are food hunters of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharp-toothed snout（口鼻部）through a group of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.Hardy（适应力强的）population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years. Over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely endangered sawfish. Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals, often by mistake.Some people collect sawfish’s snouts as prizes: One snout recently sold for nearly $ 1,600 online. In some Asian cultures, the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away. And sawfish are also delicious. A growing demand in Asia for the fish’s fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fish’s loves. Compared with other fish, sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates, which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population. Beginning next month, an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the world’s sawfishspecies. Scientists are hoping that it’s not too late to save the sawfish.Until 1998, “this fish had never been formally studied in the United States,” says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Fla. “We didn’t know such basic things as where they live, what habitat they use, how often they breed, how many young they have —even what age sawfish are when they begin breeding.”Through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fish’s numbers have decreased. Today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. Wiley estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.Section B (10 points)Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answer on your answer sheet.Marley is a businessman. His business is freezing people. He works for a company in California called Trans Time. Trans Time freezes people after they die. Why does Trans Time freeze people? Doctors today can cure many diseases, but they cannot cure all diseases. People still get sick and die. Maybe in the future doctors will have medicine for all diseases. Some people think so. They want Trans Time to freeze their bodies after they die. Maybe 100 or 200, or 300 years later, Trans Time doctors will bring the people back to life. The doctors will cure their diseases, and the people will be alive and healthy again.People often ask the scientists at the Trans Time, “How will Trans Time bring dead people back to life?” They say, “We can freeze a healthy animal and bring it back to life. We think that someday it will be possible with human.” When they say “someday”, they mean years from now — maybe 100 or 200 years. How can Trans Time keep people frozen for 200 years?After a person dies, workers at Trans Time cool the body with ice and chemicals. When the body is very cold, workers put the body into a capsule (密封舱). They fill the capsule with liquid nitrogen (液氮). The temperature in it is 196 degreescentigrade below zero. Every two weeks workers add more liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen keeps the bodies frozen.Trans Time charges $21,000 to freeze a body and $59,000 to keep a body frozen. That’s $80,000 all together. It is a lot of money. But some people think that $80,000 is a fair price. It’s a fair price for a chance to live again, isn’t it?81. What kind of people does Trans Time serve? (No more than 2 words)82. How much should one pay together, if he wants his body to be cooled and kept by Trans Time?(No more than 2 words)83. Why do people want to be frozen? (No more than 9 words)84. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (No more than 6 words)Writing (25 points)Section C以下是一名高三学生王海写给Wise 博士的一封信。
