It is one of the longest migrations of any mammal.All day, all summer long, in the cold waters near Alaska, gray whales eat and eat.Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen they use to get food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.When the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push their heads out of the water to see where they are.Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in warm, shallow waters called lagoons. Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer here than in the open seas. All winter,the babies grow big and strong.In spring first the dads and teenagers leave the lagoons, then the moms with babies. Migrating gray whales swim close to shore, especially moms with babies. The ice is melting up north, and it’s time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds.56. The underlined phrase “licked up” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.A. given upB. ended upC. broken upD. eaten up57. During their long journey to Mexico, gray whales ________.A. always swim under the oceanB. find food to supply their energyC. face the colder and cold waterD. travel to the lagoons without a break58. Where do mother gray whales give birth?A. In warm shallow waters near Mexico.B. Off the coast of North America.C. In the open seas near Mexico.D. In cold waters near Alaska.59. Which of the following is not mentioned about gray whales in the passage?A. How long they live.B. How they get their food.C. When they get back to Alaska.D. How long they spend traveling to Mexico.Ｂ.Many people say pennies are not worth saving. After all, a penny is only worth a cent. But one unusual penny turned out to be worth a lot more when a coin collector paid $ 1.7 million for it earlier this month.The coin is one of a kind. It is the only penny that the Denver mint made out of copper, instead of steal, in 1943. Because it is unique, it is also very valuable. No penny has ever sold for so much money.The Changing PennyThe Lincoln penny first appeared in 1900. For 34 years, the one-cent coin was made out of copper. Then in 1943, the penny changed. World War II was going on, and copper was needed for equipment. So for one year, pennies were made out of steel instead. At least most of them were.Only a few coins were made out of unused copper. There are three main mints, or places where coins are made, in the United States. Of the known copper pennies from 1943, twelve were made in the Philadelphia mint, and five were made in the San Francisco mint. Only one was made in the Denver mint. Nobody knows for sure why a copper penny was made at the Denver mint in 1943, coin dealer Andy Skrabalak told Time for kids. “There’s a rumor that a mint employee made the coin in the middle of the night,” he said.A Special SetThe coin collector who bought the $1.7 million penny wants to remain unknown. But the reason for the trade is known. He already had two copper pennies from 1943 --- one from the San Francisco mint and one from the Philadelphia mint. To complete the set, he needed the Denver penny. The three coins will go on display at a coin exhibition in Tampa, Florida.The collector who sold the penny is also keeping his name a secret. It took four years to convince him to give up the rare coin. Now that he has finally sold it, he is donating all of the money to charity.60. Why is the Lincoln penny worth over one million dollars?A. Because it has a history of 34 years.B. Because it was made out of a rare material.C. Because it was made on one night of 1943 by the Denver mint.D. Because it was the only coin the Denver mint made out of copper in 1943.61. Before the Lincoln penny was sold, people thought one-cent coins _________.A. were worth collecting for selling laterB. were surely valuable if not made out of steelC. wouldn’t be sold for large amounts of moneyD. were only useful for some coin museums62. At least how many copper coins were made in 1943?A. Five.B. Twelve.C. Seventeen.D. Eighteen.63. What can we learn about the collector who sold the penny?A. He already had two copper pennies from 1943.B. He wanted to complete the set of copper pennies.C. He didn’t want to sell his penny in the beginning.D. He was a well-known coin dealer in Tampa, Horida.Ｃ.Tips for avoiding traffic jams:The radio has more than just music. Check the local news station for the latest traffic report. Or go online and check traffic cameras before you set out. If there is a jam, you’ll be prepared and can try another route.Take the road less traveled. Although highways may be the most direct route, back roads can be much less crowded, which can save you from the frustration of the stop-and-go traffic.Rush hour isn’t just a lovely nickname. It means the morning and afternoon traffic lasts for several hours, but they’re still called “rush hour” for a reason --- everyone’s on the road and in a hurry to get somewhere. Treat rush hour like bad weather ---- if you don’t have to go anywhere, stay off the roads.Trips for those unavoidable traffic jams:Don’t break the law. You’ve gone 30 feet in 30 minutes and all of a sudden you see people using the shoulders. Don’t behave like them. Not only is this illegal, but also there’s a good chance they’ll get caught or cause even more problems.Pay extra attention to zig-zaggers. When some people are anxious, they may start changing lanes every 5 seconds or cut you off. Keep checking your windows and mirrors for these lane changers.Look for an escape. If it is possible to exit the road safely, do it. Use a GPS unit, and you can change your route mid-trip if needed.Be courteous. Good manners could help you avoid a possible accident. Allow people in from a lane that is ending. Speeding up to keep them out increases your chances of an accident.64. According to the passage, it is wrong to ________.A. get traffic news before leavingB. choose back roadsC. avoid rush hoursD. change lanes frequently65. What should we do when there are zig-zaggers?A. Keep checking the mirrors.B. Stop and let them go first.C. Sound the horn loudly. C. Drive quickly to keep them out.66. When there is a traffic jam, we should ___________.A. get off the car and walk aroundB. use the shoulders as lanesC. change the route if possibleD. drive back immediately67. What does the underlined word “courteous” in the last paragraph mean?A. Energetic.B. Polite.C. Careful.D. Honest.四、短文填词假如你住在一个涉外小区。

A similar tragedy took place in the 19th-century Russia. And the rebuilding effort of the Russians might offer some inspiration to the French.Standing in the heart of the Russian capital, with 60,000 square meters of floor space and 1,500 rooms, the Winter Palace was among the world's grandest buildings. On Dec. 17, 1837, a fire broke out in the Winter Palace. By the morning of Dec. 19, only the structure's framework remained.For the czar (沙皇), the fire presented a political challenge. Fearing that Russia's enemies would cast the fire as a blow to the czarist order, the czar's supporters quickly worked together to shape the description of the fire in Russia and abroad. They wanted the country to appear united. And they certainly didn't want despair to become the story.The first full account of the fire was written in French by the poet Petr Viazemskii. A Russian translation appeared two months later. That text and others painted a highly idealized picture of the response to the tragedy. The accounts noted that the czar forcefully directed the fire's containment(控制). Soldiers were selfless to save the palace. The Russian people felt the loss just as deeply as the czar.To erase the shame of the fire, the czar set a nearly impossible goal:rebuild the palace within 15 months, and he ordered that the rebuilt palace look exactly as it had before. Thousands of workers labored on the construction site. They made rapid progress. On March 25, 1839, the czar celebrated the rebirth of the Winter Palace.Outwardly identical to the old version, the new palace featured more iron and brick in its structures—and less wood. It was far less fire-prone(有火灾危险的) than the original.Notre Dame hasn't experienced the same level of destruction as the Winter Palace. If the Russian phoenix of 1839 is any indication, there is hope that a renewed Notre Dame will once again grace (为……增色) thebanks of the Seine(塞纳河).4.What do we know about the fire in the Winter Palace?A.It burnt down 60,000 rooms.B.It lasted more than 24 hours.C.It was set by Russia's enemies.D.It completely destroyed the palace.5.Why did the czar decide to rebuild the palace in a short time?A.To secure his power.B.To challenge his enemies.C.To unite French people.D.To celebrate his birthday.6.What did Viazemskii and others stress in their accounts?A.The scene of the fire.B.The selflessness of the czar.C.The Russians' joint effort to fight the fire.D.The ideal result achieved by the Russians.7.What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?A.To describe a fire at the Winter Palace.B.To praise the renewal of the Winter Palace.C.To express sympathy for the Notre Dame.D.To inspire confidence in rebuilding the Notre Dame.CTower Bridge is a bascule bridge in London, over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It is sometimes incorrectly referred to as London Bridge, which is the next bridge upstream (在上游). It is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates.In the second half of the nineteenth century, increased commercial (贸易的) development in the East End of London led to a requirement for a new river crossing downstream of London Bridge. A Special Bridge or Subway Committee was formed in 1876 to find a solution to the river crossing problem. It opened the design of the crossing to public competition. Over 50 designs were received. The judgment of the designs was surrounded by argument, and it wasn't until 1884 that a design sent by Horace Jones was sanctioned.Construction of the bridge started in 1886 and took about 8 years' hard work of 432 construction workers. Over 70,000 tons of concrete were sunk into the river bed to support the construction. Over 11,000 tons of steel provided the framework (框架) for the towers and walkways. Horace Jones died in 1887, and another engineer took over the project. The bridge was opened in 1894.The bridge sits almost directly above the Tower Subway, the world's first underground tube railway (1870), which, until the bridge was opened,was the shortest way to cross the River Thames. A computer system was installed (安装) in 2000 to control the raising and lowering of the bascule. However, this has proved less reliable than expected, resulting in the bridge being stuck in the open or closed position on a number of occasions.8.What does Paragraph 1 say about Tower Bridge?A.It's named after a famous person.B.It's another name for London Bridge.C.It's not far from the Tower of London.D.It's the only bridge over the River Thames.9.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “sanctioned” in Paragraph 2?A.Tried.B.Received.C.Discovered.D.Passed.10.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A.The history of Tower Bridge.B.The building of Tower Bridge.C.The influence of Tower Bridge.D.The importance of Tower Bridge.11.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Many breakdowns have happened to Tower Bridge.B.The computer system works better than expected.C.The underground tube railway has a history of less than 20 years.D.The Tower Subway is the shortest way to cross the River Thames.DNamed “America's Finest City” due to its hospitality, beauty and ideal climate, San Diego is located on the border with Mexico. The residents are so active outdoors that it is called “Sportstown, the U.S.A.” San Diego's 70 miles of beaches are a heaven for swimmers, surfers, divers, boaters and sunbathers. Another favourite outside activity is golf. With 100 courses (about 50 of them public), San Diego is a golfer's paradise.Many San Diego residents came here first as tourists who were attracted by San Diego's sunny beaches, nearby mountains and deserts, plus the cultural delights of any big city. The world-famous San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Wild Animal Park, museums, concerts and other attractions bring visitors from around the world.The zoo is home to some 4,000 animals, including the world's largest collection of parrots. Animals are displayed in natural settings, and there is a petting zoo for children. By contrast, the Wild Animal Park is a wildlife preserve with an area of over 2,000 acres and more than 3,000 free-roaming(漫步) animals in natural habitats.In addition to housing the zoo, Balboa Park is home to several museums and attractions, including an aerospace museum, an art andhistory museum, the Old Globe Theatre, science museums and even a railroad museum. Free concerts are offered frequently.
