Even though I jumped from my seat when I heard the crack, the hair on my forehead was burnt as I was leaning too close to the test tube.13 I had no time to be sad about my hair: the liquid in the test tube poured onto the table and caught fire. I'd never 14 anything so bad! My mind went blank for a moment. Then I quickly covered the fire with a damp cloth to put it out.The teacher told me that the test tube broke in half at the bottom because we didn't dry it properly before 15 it.We calmed down and did the experiment, again. But our hearts were still 16 rapidly even after we walked out of the lab.But my bad luck didn't end there! Since all our 17 was focused on the flames while we were in the lab, I didn't see the liquid falling onto my trousers.During the following class, I felt a pain in my leg. Soon it became more and m6re painful and I touched the area with my fingers, 18 to make things better. But to my great 19 , the material of my trousers turned into powder! " Vitriol ! ! ! The terrible word came into my mind.I rushed out right away to wash and examine my poor skin. 20 , it was not a serious injury.After changing my trousers I thought it's very important to have a serious attitude in chemistry class.

But none watched more closely than eighteen-year-old Ted, as Ted’s insects were on board the shuttle.The Shuttle Student Involvement Program invited students to make a science experiment. The experiment would be done by astronauts on the space shuttle.Ted had always been interested in space and flight. Insect flight especially interested him. Ted noticed that insects need gravity to take off and land. They need gravity to fly in a straight line. But in space, there is no gravity. Could insects fly in zero gravity? That is what Ted wanted to find out.Ted made an experiment called “Insect in Flight Motion Study”. He entered his experiment and soon news came that it was a winner.A large team of scientists and engineers helped Ted get his experiment ready to fly. There were many questions to be answered first. What kind of insects would Ted use in his experiment?The insects would have to be strong enough to live on the shuttle for nine days without much food. What kind of container would hold the insects? Would the insects die during the shuttle flight?After months of hard work, the “insectronauts”were chosen. A group of moths, flies, and honeybees were put into special box and put onto the space shuttle. When Columbia flew into space, it was carrying insect passengers.On March 24, astronauts Gordon Fullerton and Jack Lousma took out the box that held the insects. They began filming the insects with a special video camera.When the space shuttle landed Ted was able to watch the video film of insects. Just as he thought, most of the insects did have trouble flying in zero gravity. The flies did well. But the moths’ flight seemed “uncontrolled”. They would often just hang in the air. The bees had the most trouble. They couldn’t fly at all! The film showed bees spinning(旋转) around in all directions. Others were just floating about in the box.Ted learned the answer to his question about insects’flight in zero gravity. But he also learned a lot more. He learned about the hard work needed in making a successful experiment.31. What does the underlined sentence “it was a winner” mean?A.Ted could fly in space.B. Ted won a prize.C.Ted’s experiment was accepted.D. Ted won in a race.32. What did Ted want to find out?A.Whether the insects could fly in space.B.Whether the insects could fly in a straight line.C.Whether the insects could land after flying for a while.D.Whether the insects could take off after resting for a while.33. Of the three kinds of insects sent into space, which one flew worst in zero gravity?A. The flies.B. The honeybees.C. The insects.D. The moths.34. Who did the experiment?A. Ted himself.B. Ted’s friend.C. A large team of scientists and engineers.D. Two astronauts on the space shuttle.35. How did Ted learn the answer to his question about insects’ flight in zero gravity?A.By asking the scientists and engineers.B.By studying a book written by the astronauts.C.By going into space and watching the insects’ flight himself.D.By watching the video film made by the astronauts.V. 单词拼写：(共10分，每小题1分)36.First aid is a t________ form of help given to someone who suddenly falls ill or gets injuredbefore a doctor can be found.37.You have three layers of skin which act as a b_______ against disease, poisons and the sun’sharmful rays.38.John was presented with his award at a c______________ which recognized the bravery often people who had saved the life of another.39.You can get burned by a v_________ of things.40.Keep cloths cool by putting them back in a basin of cold water, s__________ them out andplacing them on the burned area over and over again.41.It is __________ （至关重要的）to get the victim to the doctor or hospital at once.42.The functions of your skin are very ___________（复杂的）.43.He slowed the bleeding by __________（应用，运用）pressure to the wounds.44.The cool water stops the burning process, prevents the pain becoming __________ (难以忍受的) and reduces swelling.45.John used these to ________（治疗）the most severe injuries to Ms Slade’s hands.VI. 读写任务(共l小题，满分20分)阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Ⅰ. 阅读理解When Columbus “sailed the ocean blue in 1492”, he wasn’t looking for America, hewas searching for a route from Spain to China; America just got in the way.The Spanish were after the riches of Asia: silk, dates, spices. Until later adventuresdiscovered how to sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road. Thetrade between China and Europe brought huge wealth, so the Spanish had a strong desire tofind a new way to the East. Eventually a way appeared; as sea traffic developed from the17th Century onwards, the overland route diminished.Now China is seeking to revive(复兴) the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillionpounds in new road, rail links, oil pipelines and other basic facilities. It is hoped that goodscan be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea.But the plan is also to attract more tourists. Actually, China does pretty well fortourists already; it’s the world’s fourth most visited country. Two cities—Beijing andShanghai —possess the tourism business, with significant interest in destinations such asXi’an and Chengdu. While Beijing is modern, cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China. Other places featured include Xi’an, the former capital of China, where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China’s first emperor in the afterlife. From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan, China’s western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road. There is also a four-day coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to Kashgar. Along the way, at Kurla, you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress. 1. What does the underlined word “diminished” in Paragraph 2 mea n? A. Discovered. B. Disappeared. C. Disturbed. D. Displayed. 2. What is the purpose of reviving the Silk Road? A. To rebuild the ruins of the Iron Fortress. B. To construct new roads and other basic structures. C. To make transportation westwards faster and cheaper. D. To draw more inland tourists’ attention to the western gateway. 3. What can we learn about the Silk Road? A. It is nothing but a trade route. B. It may destroy some cities’ ancient style. C. It attracts foreign investment of ￡4 trillion. D. It promotes the tourism industry of China. 4. What is the best title for the text? A. The Charming of the Silk Road B. The Function of the Silk Road C. The Origin of the Silk Road此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号D. The Future of the Silk RoadⅡ. 完形填空It is widely believed that inner beauty is the most impressive in the world.On the outskirts of a town in England lies a nice cottage with a large garden where there lives an old and aged man.

CrossFit (混合健身)We have made a promise that we would never try these impossible exercises at home.

Part of the top floor had broken off, and the rest of the house was shaking. At the same time, Buzzi was on the phone with his friend Jack Ward, whose sister Kathey Ward, 60, owned the house. The men feared that Kathey was in danger.Buzzi hung up the phone, threw on boots and a raincoat, and grabbed a flashlight and two life jackets. Buzzi walked through knee-high water toward what remained of Kathey’s house. He tried to shout to Kathey over the great wind, but she didn’t respond. “The roof had fallen down,” Buzzi says. “I thought she was dead.”He walked back home and called Jack again. Jack told him he had finally reached his sister on the phone. She was trapped but uninjured. Buzzi headed back into the storm and found her standing on a piece of wood that had been part of a doorway on the second floor of her home. “She was surprisingly calm,” says Buzzi.“I knew you would come,” Kathey said. She’d been sitting in the o nly room of the house that didn’t get destroyed when the roof fell down. Buzzi gave her a life jacket and led her through water to his house. Walking back from Kathey’s house, Buzzi spotted local carpenter Nick Spino.“He’d spent the night on his neighbor’s roof,” says Buzzi.Despite a flooded basement, Buzzi let six neighbors stay with him until they left five days later. “It’s human nature, right?” he says. “We protect each other.”5. Why did Buzzi call Jack Ward?A. To turn to Jack for help.B. To invite Jack to come over.C. To inquire about Kathey’s safety.D. To report the terrible flood to him.6. How did Kathey survive in the storm?A. By wearing a life jacket.B. By standing on a piece of wood.C. By sitting on the second floor of her house.D. By s taying on the roof of a neighbor’s house.7. Why was Kathey so calm?A. Her house was strong.B. The water was not deep.C. She believed she would be saved.D. She thought the storm would end soon.8. What did Buzzi suggest in the last paragraph?A. It was natural for him to help others.B. He was proud of what he had done.C. He couldn’t let the people stay longer.D. People knew how to protect themselves in trouble.CYesterday, I heard one little girl say, “I have a really hard time tying other people’s shoes. I am just so used to tying my own shoes, and it’s hard to see things the other way.” The comment got me thinking.In light of the latest, deadliest mass shooting in the US, gun control is back in the news cycle. We see the same voices, parties, and voters, well, sticking to their guns. Neither side is willing to even hear the other side of the aisle, and the solutions that we have put forth are frankly one sided. Even in daily conversations we shut people down who have the opposing point of view becauseours, to us, is the only “right” answer. A couple of weeks ago I got into a discussion on a woman’s right to choose. I simply could not hear the other side. At the end of the conversation, both of us gave up trying to doubt our beliefs because both of us believed so strongly that we were right. Looking back at that moment, I cannot remember a single piece of analysis that the other woman brought to the conversation.This is not to say that we should give up our beliefs, but perhaps as human beings we could become more used to thinking beyond our social locations. Usually we put ourselves in boxes of thinking based on our personal experiences and surrounding communities, which puts us in the habit of thinking in a certain way all the time. But when we do that we lose our ability to think and solve a problem creatively. And without those abilities, we will get nowhere with the current troubling issues.The popular idiom “great minds think alike” gets it wrong. Great minds think differently. That is what makes them great minds. Curiosity drives innovation and progress. But if we can’t listen to these new innovative ideas because we are so used to thinking in the same way, we will never progress.9. What did the author realize after hearing the girl’s words?A. It’s no use tying other people’s shoes.B. The girl doesn’t get along well with others.C. There is only one best way to solve a problem.D. People should put themselves in others’ shoes.10. What does the example given in Paragraph 2 mainly show?A. Good communication is very important.B. It’s dangerous for Americans to own guns.C. Each side likes keeping to their own thoughts.D. Deadliest mass shooting in the US happens for a reason.11. Why can’t the author remember what that woman said?A. Because the author got the right answer first.B. Because the discussion was long and violent.C. Because the woman didn’t express herself clearly.D. Because the author was too focused on her own thoughts.12. What may be the best title of the text?A. Great minds think differentlyB. Life is filled with differencesC. Man should learn to agree to differD. Social progress can’t be achieved without curiosityDTo most of us, medicine comes from a drugstore. But originally, much of the medicine developed in the last century came from natural sources: plants, bacteria, etc. Now, a group of scientists in Great Britain are hoping to develop a medicine from poisonous insects. They are researching whether the deadly venom (毒液) of some insects can work against bacteria that make people sick. About 400 insects live in plastic containers in the Venomtech Laboratory. Each container has an image of a skull and crossbones. The venom from these insects contains hundreds of chemical components (成分). Each component has a different target and effect. Medical researchers, such as Venomtech managing director Steven Trim, separate the venom into its component parts. Then they create a library of those components, looking for the ones that could be turned into new drugs.“Some of them we found can kill bacteria like E.Coli and staphylococcus, so they’re very significant the moment when modern medicines are failing. And we’re also finding various kinds of venom that are killing cancer cells.” Finding new ways to kill bacteria is important. One reason is because people have used antibiotics (抗生素) so much that some bacteria can now resist it.To get as much venom as possible, researchers feed the insects well, and then make them sleep temporarily. Steven Trim of Venomtech says researchers anaesthetize the animals to make removing the venom safer. After all, an immobile insect cannot bite. “Anaesthetizing the insect is better for the animals as well,” says Trim.13. What does the first paragraph mainly state?A. Some insects’ venom is deadly.B. Medicine can be developed in many ways.C. Many kinds of poisonous insects are unknown.D. Scientists want to cure some diseases with insects’ venom.14. Why is getting venom important?A. Because sometimes modern medicines cannot work.B. Because venom has different targets and effects.C. Because some bacteria are quite deadly.D. Because venom is difficult to get.15. What does the underlined word “anaesthetize” in the last paragraph mean?A. Keep someone safe.B. Make someone confident.C. Keep someone frightened.D. Make someone unconscious.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。

But in these areas of serious poverty (贫困) and no running water, I met with heartfelt happiness and generosity. And I experienced the need for women’s rights and food safety and sustainable (可持续的) development.I also played with kids. I played soccer, pretended to be a zombie, and ran with kids on my shoulders like we were human planes. The kids screamed in delight when I chased them and the kids fell over when they tried imitating me doing handstands.I’d like to think that I was a breath of fresh air, that I listened to them and that I was a role model.But eventually my time in rural communities such as Amahlube and Loskop had to end.I never traveled alone. I always traveled with many other volunteers. We were from Holland, Australia, and the USA. We were in South Africa to learn, to give. Yet, as volunteers, we had other places to go, other people to help, other kids to build human relations with.And when our time was up, we expressed our gratitude, we hugged our hosts, and we waved goodbye from our bus.Each time we drove away, I thought about the kids’ questions. The kids would ask, “When are you coming back to visit?” They would ask, “Will you take us to the beach next time?”I felt like I was abandoning (抛弃) them.36.

It is very close to the city of Yogyakarta, and thousands of people live on the sides of the volcano, with villages as high as 1,700 metres above sea level.The name Merapi could be translated as “mountain of fire”. Smoke can be seen rising from the mountaintop at least 300 days a year. Small eruptions happen every 2 to 3 years, and larger ones every 10 to 15 years or so. Large eruptions, often causing many deaths, happened in 1006, 1786, 1822 and 1872. The eruption in 1930 wiped out 13 villages on the slopes of the mountain, killing around 1,400 people. Hot gas from a large eruption killed 27 people on November 22, 1994, mostly in the town of Muntilan, west of the volcano. Another large eruption happened in 2006, killing at least 5,000 people and leaving at least 200,000 people homeless, shortly before the Yogyakarta earthquake.On 25 October, 2010 the Indonesian government raised the alert (警戒) for Mount Merapi to its highest level and warned villagers in threatened areas to move to safer ground. People living within 10 kilometres were told to leave. Officials said about 500 volcanic earthquakes had been recorded on the mountain over the weekend of 23 and 24 October. On the afternoon of 25 October, 2010 Mount Merapi erupted lava from its southern and southeastern slopes. On 26 October at least 18 people, including one 2-month-old baby, were found dead. On 27 October the number of deaths rose to 30 persons. On 1 November, 2010, the number of deaths climbed to 38.39. It can be inferred from the text that .A. Mount Merapi is an active volcanoB. more eruptions happen in OctoberC. people living near Mount Merapi know when the volcano will erupt wellD. the government is trying to persuade people not to live near Mount Merapi40. How did the Indonesian government know there would be a large eruption on 25 October, 2010?A. They found Mount Merapi began to erupt.B. The volcanic activity took place regularly.C. There was an earthquake hitting Yogyakarta.D. They have recorded many volcanic earthquakes.41. The alert for Mount Merapi was raised to its highest level on .A. SundayB. MondayC. TuesdayD. Wednesday42. According to the text, which eruption caused the most serious consequence?A. The 1930 eruption.B. The 1994 eruption.C. The 2006 eruption.D. The 2010 eruption.CPlant cloning has been an agricultural technique used by farmers and gardeners for centuries. Grafting(嫁接) is a common form of plant cloning. Many plants in nature actually clone themselves and reproduce asexually.Cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants, so their yield(产量) is more reliable. Cloned plants also reproduce faster, limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting. It is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methods. Plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available. With higher yield at a faster rate, farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costs.Cloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of crops. This would make plants immune to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year. Crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past. Also, plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloning.Through cloning scientists can develop super fruits and vegetables of superior(更好的) nutritional quality. This could make for a healthier population overall. This has already been done through selective pollination (授粉), and genetic cloning could take it to the next level.By plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases, but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive. While there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning, there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital to the propagation (繁衍) of the human species.43. The underlined word “optimized” in Parag raph 2 is closest in meaning to “”.A. grownB. producedC. perfectedD. examined44. According to the text, cloned plants .A. have lower yield than normal plantsB. need less care from peopleC. prevent various kinds of diseasesD. have a shorter growth cycle45. What can we infer from the text?A. The fruits produced by cloned plants taste much better.B. There are more cloned plants than normal plants now.C. Plant cloning can disturb the laws of nature.D. People should avoid eating cloned fruits.46. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To warn the negative effects of plant cloning.B. To show different kinds of plant cloning.C. To predict the future of plant cloning.D. To introduce the advantages of plant cloning.DThe power of words becomes clear after listening to a powerful speech that leaves you feeling inspired, or when a moving passage from a novel brings tears to your eyes. But when it comes to causing pain, the power of words may still be vastly underestimated (低估).Kids who are always laughed at and called names can develop low self-respect and may grow up to be angry adults.“Hurtful words can haunt (萦绕) you all your life and may lead to heart disease, depression, stress,” said W. Penn Handwerker, a medical anthropologist. Not surprisingly, those that have the most effect are words that come from people we admire or who have some power over our lives: teachers, wives/husbands, parents and friends.Studies have found verbal assaults(攻击) are even more painful than physical ones. “A bruise can eventually disappear, but words can hurt your soul. Words create fear and contain the promise of future violence. The emotional effect on victims can range from low-level anxiety to great fear,” s aid Stephen Wessler, director of the Center for the Study and Prevention of Hate Violence at the University of Southern Maine.It is estimated that 160,000 students miss school every day because they’re afraid of being harassed (骚扰). What’s more, name-calling and other forms of rude remarks are early signs of actual violence in schools. Wessler, who worked as a prosecutor (检察官), explained that when he was called into schools for cases of violence, it was typically the last stage of a much longer battle. “The violence had actually begun days or months after verbal harassment,” he said.47. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Verbal assaults are more likely to happen in schools.B. Verbal assaults are more painful than physical ones.C. Kids are usually much easier to be hurt by words.D. More and more people like to give verbal assaults.48. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that .A. fewer and fewer powerful speeches are given nowB. the effects of words are different on different peopleC. the power of words can also be negativeD. few people pay attention to what others say49. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Verbal assaults are often not paid early enough attention to in schools.B. Students often try to end the violence in school by themselves first.C. Verbal assaults cause most of the violent cases in schools.D. More and more prosecutors are paying attention to verbal assaults.50. Why is the number of students who miss school every day mentioned in the text?A. To show the relationship between verbal assaults and physical assaults.B. To provide evidence of the harmful effects of verbal assaults on students.C. To tell those who often miss school that their behaviour is wrong.D. To point out what a prosecutor can do to stop verbal assaults in school.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。
