一、阅读理解(本题有20小题,每小题2分,共计40分)AAmerican and British government officials always say that the US and the UK have a "special relationship". However, Americans and Brits (英国人)usually look down on one another. Many Brits think Americans are stupid and like to fight. Many Americans think Brits are snobby and weak.A recent event shows this competitive spirit.Two weeks ago, British football star David Beckham hurt his left foot during a football game.The British poet laureate (桂冠诗人), Carol Ann Duffy, wrote a poem for him.The poem talked about the ancient Greek hero Achilles. According to Greek myth, Achilles' body could not be hurt , except for a small part of his heel . He was killed when an enemy shot an arrow(箭)into his heel. Beckham hurt a part of his heel named after the ancient hero--the Achilles tendon(健).When Duffy explained why she wrote the poem, she said, "Like Greek myth, public like Beckham having both success and tragedy. We all learn from them."The poet laureate is the official poet for the UK. The person holds a position of great honor in British society. Now that a poet laureate has devoted her time to writing a poem for a football player, some Americans say the tables have turned."There is no longer anybody who can argue that we are any less cultured than the Euros, "wrote Mason Lerner for the US website-the Faster Times.When Lerner traveled to England a few years ago, people told him that he spoke "American" rather than "English" (Some Brits think that Americans don't speak proper English). He was also told by more than several English-people that the US has no culture Now Lerner believes Americans will get the last laugh. "Once your poet laureate hasspent her time writing a poem about David Beckham, you pretty much lose the right to act snobby," he wrote.1. What do Americans think of BritsA. They think Brits are friendly.B. They have a low opinion of Brits.C. They think Brits enjoy fighting.D. They treat them as special friends2. Why did Duffy write a poem for David Beckham?A. Because she wanted people to learn from his lifeB. Because she wanted to encourage Beckham.C. Because Beckham is popular in Britain.D. Because she's a fan of Beckham.3. What does the underlined sentence "some Americans say the tables have turned" in the sixth paragraph mean?A. Some Americans have turned the tables upside down.B. Some Americans want to change their table for a different oneC. Some Americans believe it is a turning.D. Some Americans think the UK now has no culture.4. Why does Lerner believe Americans will get the last laugh?A. Because he thinks the British are no longer snobby.B. Because he thinks the UK has lost its culture.C. Because the poet lost her position of honor in the UK.D. Because Beckham hurt himself in a match.5. What's the main idea of this passage?A. The US culture will take the place of that of the UK.B. The US culture is now better than the culture in the UK.C. The competitive spirit is strong between the US and the UK.D. Nobody argues that the US is less cultured than the Euros.BDo you know why different animals or pests have their special colours ? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like cating locusts, but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locust change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are casily found and eaten by others. So they are to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They can not or other kinds of their enemies. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.6. From the passage we learn that locusts_A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colours to protect themselves7. How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger?A. They run away quicklyB. They have the colours much like their enemies.C . They hide themselves by day and appear at nightD. They have to move quietly.8. Bears and lions can keep safe because_____________.A. they have the colours much like the treesB. they move quietlyC. they like brown and grey coloursD. they live in forests9. Why can a kind of fish in the sea live up to now?A. Because it is very and strong.B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.D. Because it swims faster than any other fish.10.Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Change of Colours for Animals and PestsB. Colours of Different Animals and PestsC. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and PestsD. Some Animals and PestsCLife on earth depends on water, and there is no substitute (替代物)for it. The current assumption (假定)is that our basic needs for water-whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met. Given that premise (前提), there are two basic ways we can go: more equal access to water or better engineering solutions Looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams (坝)in river basins, particularly in Africa. The ecology (生态)of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal changes of the river-the pulse of the water . And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the downstream ecology . In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the near future, governments.The engineers' ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability(不可预知) too. Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, less grazing and less floodplain (洪泛区)agriculture - none of which were expected . And their average economic life is assumed to be thirty years. Dams don't exist forever, but what will replace them is not clear.The challenge for the future is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology(转基因技术)will allow us to breed better dry-land crops, there is no market for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro-climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World?11. What's the main idea of this passage?A. The challenge for new methods of developing crops.B. The basic means of controlling water in the Third world.C. The challenge for controlling water in Africa in the near future.D. The engineering solutions to water resource and their limitation.12. Which of the following statements is NOT true for meeting our basic needs for water?A. Water resource should be used more reasonably.B. More dams should be built in river basins.C. More wetlands should be protected from destruction.D. More dry-land crops could be developed in Africa.13. The author suggests that governments will have no excuse for their careless ignorance in the future because____.A. the ecological destruction will be known to the public by researchersB. the ecological destruction will no longer be a problem in the futureC. the future is an information ageD. governments will face greater challenge in the future14. The author mentions all the problems caused by dams EXCEPT________________A. fewer fishB. less grazing landC. less floodplain agricultureD. less farming land15. The last sentence probably impliesA. no one will invest in developing locally appropriate crops in AfricaB. researchers have no interest in developing dry-land cropsC. research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World may be profitableD. There is less water resource in the Third WorldDBeing able to multitask ---doing several things at the same time ---is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged fromeight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a large number of electronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own world, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks , many young people gave a positive response . However, the response from he worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again , as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.16. What does the underlined word "juggle" most probably mean?A. Want to buy.B. Use at the same time.C. Take the place of.D. Search information from.17. In paragraph 3, the author points out that ,A. family members do not greet each otherB. family members do not eat at the family tableC. young people get on well with their familiesD. young people hardly communicate with their family members18. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Young people must learn skills for future jobB. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.D. Multitasking influences young people's development seriously.9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.B. Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.C. Educators feel that young people don't need to improve their study skills.D. People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children's later study skills.20.The author develops (阐述)the passage mainlyA. providing special examplesB. following the natural time orderC. giving out a cause and analyzing its effectsD. comparing opinions from different worlds二、语言运用第一节完形填空(本题有15小题,每小题1分,共计15分)One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting.

Green CircleBAfter finishing his dinner, Lin Xu opened a WeChat mini-programcalled "Clear Plate" on his phone and took a picture of the empty plates. He was then awarded 157 credit points after the image was uploaded and recognized by artificial intelligence. The credit points can be used to buy gifts, such as books, cellphones and red wine, or to purchase charity meals donated to children in poor rural areas.The "Clear Plate" mini-program has become popular among young Chinese. Similar campaigns like an "empty plate challenge" are alsoon the horizonin many Chinese universities."Technological innovation is a good way to reduce food waste," said Liu Jichen. Founder of the start-up that developed the app. The idea popped up at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that the restaurant owner would give diners who polished off their food a card and offer small gifts after a certain number of cards had been collected. "Everyone who values food is bound to enjoy a sense of gain at a lower cost," Liu mentioned this case, noting that such an idea could potentially be realized online.He formeda team to work on the project. Yet it was quite a challenge for the AI system to assess whether the uploaded photos showed empty plates. To make the AI system smarter,Liu and his team, assisted by more than 1, 000 others, spent half a year collecting over100,000 samples from canteens and restaurants across the country and analyzed the data. Dozens of enterprises, institutions and restaurants have contacted the start-up to cooperate on the project. Through the digitalized, visualized mini-program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which will effectively reduce food waste. "We hope our efforts can start a new trend among the younger generation, encouraging them to develop the habit of thrift(节约)," Liu said.4. What does the underlined phrase "on the horizon" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Likely to decrease.B. Likely to succeed.C. Likely to change.D. Likely to appear.5. What caused Liu Jichen to develop the "Clear Plate" app?A. Food waste afterdinner.B. The idea of the restaurant owner.C. Small gifts sent by his friends.D. Charity meals donated to children.6. What was difficult for the project Liu's team worked on?A. Making the AI system smarter.B. Assessing the uploaded photos.C. Collecting samples from canteens and restaurants.D. Encouraging people to develop the habit of thrift.7. What is the text mainly about?A. AI programs becoming popular.B. AI programs appearing in many Chinese universities.C.

AI programs collecting pictures of clearing diners' plates.CA new study suggests drinking coffee as soon as someone wakes up from a poor night’s sleep greatly affects metabolism(新陈代谢) and blood sugar control.In the study, published in theBritish Journal of Nutrition, UK researchers let 29 healthy men and women take part in three different overnight experiments. In the first two scenes, participants were given a sugary drink uponwaking—first from a normal night’s sleep, and then again after a poor night’s sleep during which they were woken up for five minutes every hour. In the third, their sleep was similarly disrupted, but they were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary drink, which mirrored the calories of a typical breakfast, in each experiment. Results showed that one night of disrupted sleep did not worsen the participants’ blood sugar responses at breakfast when compared to a normal night of sleep. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast increased the blood sugar response by around 50 percent.By drinking such kind of drink after breakfast, UK researchers found that our bodies’ ability to break down our food healthily is completely improved. Examining the effects of broken sleep and morning coffee across a range ofdifferent metabolic markers, scientists at the University of Bath found that, while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism, drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood sugar control.“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee—the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee is. This simple study is important and has far-reaching health influences, and it indeed moves some coffee drinkers’ heartstrings. As up to now we have had limited knowledge about what this is doing to our bodies, in particular for our metabolic and blood sugar control, so we have a long way to go.” said Professor James Betts, co-director of the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism at the University of Bath.8. How did UK researchers get the result of the experiment?A. By making comparisons.B. By consulting journals.C. By questionnaire.D. By assumption.9. What can we learn from the experiment?A. One night of poor sleep surely affects blood sugar.B. Drinking coffee after breakfast does harm to health.C. Having strong drinks has a good effect on metabolism.D. Drinking coffee at different time has different effects on health.10. What does James Betts think of the study?A. It makes no sense.B. It remains to be continued.C. It is limited and blind.D. It is particular and explicit.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. How Much Coffee to Drink MattersB. Does Coffee Really Wake Up an Appetite?C. How Does Drinking Coffee Affect One’s Sleep?D.

AAs is known to us all, baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a water system for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time. Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries.Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s has also become popular in the United States. For many years frequent(经常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, and perfume was often used to cover up body smells! By the 1700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common. In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!”In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law! Frequency(频繁) of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bath once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential (="necessary)" to good health.1. A water system for baths was built by _________ over 3,000 years ago.A.the Greeks B.the Romans C.the Americans D.the Europeans2. In the 18th century doctors believed that being clean was __________.A. good for health B.unimportant C.harmful D.important3. The underlined word perfume probably means _____________.A. a strange smelling substance(物质)B. good healthC. a sweet smelling substanceD. large wealth4. Which of the following gives the main idea of the passage?A. Everybody in America takes a daily bath.B. A bath a day keeps the doctor away.C. Bathing has become easier and cheaper.D. Taking baths has become popular in the world.BIn the spring of 1926, Yan Qingbao,a 43-year-old farmer, discovered a circular piece of jade(玉)while digging a hole. Driven by curiosity, he dug deeper and found a group of about 400 colourful jade pieces.At the time,he had no idea that his discovery would be as important as other wonders of the world such as China's Great Wall and Egypt's pyramids. Since then more than 10000 relics(残骸), dating back to between 5000 and 3000 BC have been unearthed at Shanxingdui. These relics include gold, pottery,bone tools and ivory objects. They prove that Shanxingdui contains the ruins of an ancient city that was once the political, economic and cultural center of the ancient Shu Kingdom-the old name for Sichuan.It has helped modern historians realize that Sichuan's human history goes back more than 5000 years. And, located on the upper part of the Yangtze River, the site challenges the common idea that Chinese civilization(文明) rose from a single source-the Yellow River valley.Shanxingdui was named the Scientific Education Base for China's Youth in March this year.But still, only four of the Shanxingdui Ruins 12 square kilometers have been uncovered.Who knows what other big surprises are waiting to be shown to the world.5. The farmer dug a hole and found a group of about 400 colourful jade pieces because___.A. he wanted to look for treasureB. he was curious about itC. he knew there were many relics in the holeD. he wanted to be famous for doing so6. The underlined word "challenge" here means___.A. changeB. agree withC. compete withD. disappoint7. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. About 10400 relics have been unearthed at Shanxingdui.B. The farmer didn't know his discovery would be as important as other wonders of the world.C. Modern historians realize that Sichuan's human history goes back more than 5000 years.D. Chinese civilization rose from a single source-the Yellow River valley.CIt was indeed an exciting news on the mountain. The tortoise and the hare were going to have another race, and they had asked the most authoritative yellow ox to be their judge this time.Years ago, when the tortoise and the hare held their first race,because the hare run so fast that he was far ahead of the tortoise, the hare took a rest on the midway and unexpectedly overslept. When the hare woke up, he was surprised to find that the tortoise had already reached the destination. The hare was judged a loser. Losing to a slow crawling tortoise was the hare’s biggest shame in his life and he was often laughed at by all the other animals on the mountain. The hare swore that he would wipe out the disgrace someday. On the eve of race, in order to keep enough energy not to need a rest on the midway again, the hare specially went to bed much earlier than usual. The next morning,the hare arrived at the place of race very early. Soon the tortoise also slowly crawled over.Under the watching of many guest animals, the yellow ox gave an order to start, then the hare immediately rushed forward. As the hare had enough sleep the night before,he hoped to reach the destination(目的地) much earlier to surprise everyone, so he ran just as fast as the flight of an arrow(箭). Suddenly he discovered that he was chased by the highway patrolman deer. The deer caught up with him and said coldly:“You are speeding.” Then he quickly took the hare to the expressway patrol office. When the hare was set free next morning,the race judge yellow ox told him that the tortoise had reached the destination last night, therefore, the hare once again lost the race to the tortoise.The stupid hare never understood that while he went to bed earlier the night before, the tortoise and the deer had a big dinner and the tortoise paid the bill.8. The yellow ox was asked to be the judge because he was considered___________.A. hardworkingB. cleverC. shyD. fair9. When the hare was told he once again lost the race to the tortoise,he would probablyfeel_________.A. unexpectedB. shamefulC. angryD. sad10. We can learned from the passage that___________.A. the tortoise is as strong-minded as beforeB. the hare is as proud as beforeC. the tortoise as fast as beforeD. the tortoise has bought off the deer11. The most suitable title would be ___________ .A. a race between tortoise and hareB. another race between tortoise and hareC. two races between tortoise and hareD. stories between tortoise and hare第二节:请从下面的概述(A,B,C,D,E,和F)中选出恰当的一项,填入空白处,使文章通顺,流畅。

The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe. The 30-kilogram robot, called NEO-01 , was developed by Origin Space. Pounded in 2019 and based in the southern Chinese tech hub(技术中心)Shenzhen, Origin Space has been devoted to exploring and using space resources, according to the company. The company says the robot will lead the way for future technologies capable of mining on asteroids(小行星).The world's first asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, was established in 2009. Since then, more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry, including 3D Systems of the United States and Japan's Astroscale. Astroscale's technology uses magnets (磁铁)to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO-01 will use a net to capture waste and then bum it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for-profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO-01 will serve as a prototype (雏形)of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earthasteroid to collectmaterials. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.4. Which of the following can correctly describe NEO-01?A. It weighs 60 kilograms.B. It was created by Planetary Resources.C. It will be burnt after finishing its mission.D. It is mainly used to catch space waste.5. What can be inferred from the text?A. China will be the most powerful in space by 2030.B. Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.C. It is those useless satellites that make space waste.D. The robot will look into deep space for more waste.6. What does Su Meng think of NEO-01 ?A. It is promising and rewarding.B. It has benefited the space industry.C. It's a long way to produce it.D. It'll help make money for the company.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. NEO-01 , A Smart Robot Used in SpaceB. A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space WasteC. A New Robot Makes China a SpacePowerD. NEO-01 , the Pioneer of Future Space RobotsCLast summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house that didn’t have Wi-Fi. I wasn’t looking forward to it.I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi-Fi was easier than I expected.Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi-Fi network. It was only a five minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure. It made me think , though , how unnecessary it can be , how unnecessarily we rely on it—how we perhapsrely on it too much. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding behind a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I read more, I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Dare I say it; I learned how to live without Wi-Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined.8.

How to use the InternetDAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism. Their critics(批评家)seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays.The poor old consumer! He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or readingrailway byelaws while waiting for a train? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn't forget is the “small ads.” What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column(栏目) but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It's the best advertisement for advertising there is!12. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Advertisements steal money from our pocketsB. The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. Advertisements are everywhere.13. What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements?A. He appreciates the role of advertisements.B. He doubts the effect of advertisements.C. He believes what is said in advertisements.D. He complains too many advertisements in daily life.14. Which of the following is Not True?A. The personal or “agony” column makes us know more about human nature.B. The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods.C. A newspaper will cost us more if there is no advertisement on it.D. Advertisement makes our life color1 ful.15. Whicof the following shows the structure of the passage?( ①=" Paragraph" 1, ②=" paragraph" 2, ③=" paragraph" 3, ④=" paragraph" 4 ⑤=" paragraph" 5)A B.C.

一、阅读理解(本题有20小题,每小题2分,共计40分)AAmerican and British government officials always say that the US and the UK have a "special relationship". However, Americans and Brits (英国人)usually look down on one another. Many Brits think Americans are stupid and like to fight. Many Americans think Brits are snobby and weak.A recent event shows this competitive spirit.Two weeks ago, British football star David Beckham hurt his left foot during a football game.The British poet laureate (桂冠诗人), Carol Ann Duffy, wrote a poem for him.The poem talked about the ancient Greek hero Achilles. According to Greek myth, Achilles' body could not be hurt , except for a small part of his heel . He was killed when an enemy shot an arrow(箭)into his heel. Beckham hurt a part of his heel named after the ancient hero--the Achilles tendon(健).When Duffy explained why she wrote the poem, she said, "Like Greek myth, public like Beckham having both success and tragedy. We all learn from them."The poet laureate is the official poet for the UK. The person holds a position of great honor in British society. Now that a poet laureate has devoted her time to writing a poem for a football player, some Americans say the tables have turned."There is no longer anybody who can argue that we are any less cultured than the Euros, "wrote Mason Lerner for the US website-the Faster Times.When Lerner traveled to England a few years ago, people told him that he spoke "American" rather than "English" (Some Brits think that Americans don't speak proper English). He was also told by more than several English-people that the US has no culture Now Lerner believes Americans will get the last laugh. "Once your poet laureate hasspent her time writing a poem about David Beckham, you pretty much lose the right to act snobby," he wrote.1. What do Americans think of BritsA. They think Brits are friendly.B. They have a low opinion of Brits.C. They think Brits enjoy fighting.D. They treat them as special friends2. Why did Duffy write a poem for David Beckham?A. Because she wanted people to learn from his lifeB. Because she wanted to encourage Beckham.C. Because Beckham is popular in Britain.D. Because she's a fan of Beckham.3. What does the underlined sentence "some Americans say the tables have turned" in the sixth paragraph mean?A. Some Americans have turned the tables upside down.B. Some Americans want to change their table for a different oneC. Some Americans believe it is a turning.D. Some Americans think the UK now has no culture.4. Why does Lerner believe Americans will get the last laugh?A. Because he thinks the British are no longer snobby.B. Because he thinks the UK has lost its culture.C. Because the poet lost her position of honor in the UK.D. Because Beckham hurt himself in a match.5. What's the main idea of this passage?A. The US culture will take the place of that of the UK.B. The US culture is now better than the culture in the UK.C. The competitive spirit is strong between the US and the UK.D. Nobody argues that the US is less cultured than the Euros.BDo you know why different animals or pests have their special colours ? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like cating locusts, but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locust change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are casily found and eaten by others. So they are to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They can not or other kinds of their enemies. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.6. From the passage we learn that locusts_A. are small animalsB. are easily found by birdsC. are dangerous to their enemiesD. change their colours to protect themselves7. How can pests with different colours from plants keep out of danger?A. They run away quicklyB. They have the colours much like their enemies.C . They hide themselves by day and appear at nightD. They have to move quietly.8. Bears and lions can keep safe because_____________.A. they have the colours much like the treesB. they move quietlyC. they like brown and grey coloursD. they live in forests9. Why can a kind of fish in the sea live up to now?A. Because it is very and strong.B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it escape from its enemies.C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.D. Because it swims faster than any other fish.10.Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Change of Colours for Animals and PestsB. Colours of Different Animals and PestsC. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and PestsD. Some Animals and PestsCLife on earth depends on water, and there is no substitute (替代物)for it. The current assumption (假定)is that our basic needs for water-whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met. Given that premise (前提), there are two basic ways we can go: more equal access to water or better engineering solutions Looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams (坝)in river basins, particularly in Africa. The ecology (生态)of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal changes of the river-the pulse of the water . And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the downstream ecology . In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the near future, governments.The engineers' ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability(不可预知) too. Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, less grazing and less floodplain (洪泛区)agriculture - none of which were expected . And their average economic life is assumed to be thirty years. Dams don't exist forever, but what will replace them is not clear.The challenge for the future is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology(转基因技术)will allow us to breed better dry-land crops, there is no market for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro-climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World?11. What's the main idea of this passage?A. The challenge for new methods of developing crops.B. The basic means of controlling water in the Third world.C. The challenge for controlling water in Africa in the near future.D. The engineering solutions to water resource and their limitation.12. Which of the following statements is NOT true for meeting our basic needs for water?A. Water resource should be used more reasonably.B. More dams should be built in river basins.C. More wetlands should be protected from destruction.D. More dry-land crops could be developed in Africa.13. The author suggests that governments will have no excuse for their careless ignorance in the future because____.A. the ecological destruction will be known to the public by researchersB. the ecological destruction will no longer be a problem in the futureC. the future is an information ageD. governments will face greater challenge in the future14. The author mentions all the problems caused by dams EXCEPT________________A. fewer fishB. less grazing landC. less floodplain agricultureD. less farming land15. The last sentence probably impliesA. no one will invest in developing locally appropriate crops in AfricaB. researchers have no interest in developing dry-land cropsC. research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World may be profitableD. There is less water resource in the Third WorldDBeing able to multitask ---doing several things at the same time ---is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged fromeight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a large number of electronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own world, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks , many young people gave a positive response . However, the response from he worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again , as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.16. What does the underlined word "juggle" most probably mean?A. Want to buy.B. Use at the same time.C. Take the place of.D. Search information from.17. In paragraph 3, the author points out that ,A. family members do not greet each otherB. family members do not eat at the family tableC. young people get on well with their familiesD. young people hardly communicate with their family members18. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Young people must learn skills for future jobB. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.D. Multitasking influences young people's development seriously.9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.B. Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.C. Educators feel that young people don't need to improve their study skills.D. People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children's later study skills.20.The author develops (阐述)the passage mainlyA. providing special examplesB. following the natural time orderC. giving out a cause and analyzing its effectsD. comparing opinions from different worlds二、语言运用第一节完形填空(本题有15小题,每小题1分,共计15分)One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet viewing of the wonderful paintings.A young couple were viewing the paintings in front of me and chatting 21 cach other without stopping. I watched them for a moment and 22 the man's wife was talking all the time. I was surprised to see that the man was so patient and could stand his wife's 23 but I still moved on.I met them several times 24 I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time 1heard she continued talking about the paintings . I moved away 25 .I was 26 some gifts in the museum shop when the couple came near to the gate. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out something brown. He turned it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s 27 .He’s a 28 man, a clerk beside me said. “Most of us would 29 if we became blind at such a young age. During his treatment, he made a promise that his life wouldn't30 . So, as before, he and his wife come in 31 there's a new art show."But what does he get out of the art?"
