There are more insects than any other kind of animals. Some insects such as locusts (蝗虫) eat crops. They are farmer’s enemies (敌人). We all know there are other animals that eat insects too. They are farmer’s friends. The dragonfly is one of them.Many people are afraid of dragonflies though they are friendly insects. A dragonfly can help to kill flying insects, especially mosquitoes. A dragonfly may have as many as one hundred mosquitoes in its mouth at a time. Some dragonflies eat while flying, but others like to come down to the ground before eating their meals.The dragonfly cannot walk, because all its legs are at the very front of its body. It has two pairs of strong wings. The dragonfly is one of the fastest insects in the world. The dragonfly can see very well. It can see a moving insect far away, but the life of a dragonfly is short. It can’t live in the cold weather.31．We know from the passage that ________ are farmer’s enemies.A．dragonflies B．locusts C．birds D．fish32．________ are friendly insects, and usually eat mosquitoes.A．Locusts B．Butterflies C．Bees D．Dragonflies33．A dragonfly may have ________ mosquitoes in its mouth at a time.A．twenty B．a thousand C．eighty D．a hundred 34．Dragonflies can’t walk because ________.A．they don’t have so many legs B．they have four legs each C．their legs are very weak D．their legs are at the very front of their bodies35．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Dragonflies are not fast insects.B．Dragonflies can’t see well in the daytime.C．Dragonflies can see flying insects far away.D．Dragonflies have a pair of strong wings.What do pandas, tigers, whales, lions and wild camels have in common (共同的)? They are all endangered (濒临灭绝的). Here are the reasons.Hunting: For centuries, people hunted elephants for their tusks, killed tigers for their fur,and caught many other animals for their meat.Foreign animals: In 1505, some people discovered a beautiful island named Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. People brought dogs, pigs, monkeys and rats with them, but this was bad news for dodo birds. The birds did not have natural enemies (天敌) before. They ate fruit that fell from trees and built their house on the ground. But when people came, dodo birds were in big trouble—men killed them for their meat, and the new animals broke their homes and ate their eggs.The number of dodo birds became smaller and smaller and finally extinct. The last dodo bird was killed in 1681.Loss of living space: People cut down forests for farming and building houses. People build dams (水坝) to make sure they have enough water.While we make our lives comfortable, other animals have less and less space.36．Pandas, tigers, whales, lions and camels are all ________ according to (依据) passage.A．dangerous animalsB．endangered animalsC．useful animalsD．animals living everywhere37．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Dodo birds lived on Mauritius.B．Dodo birds became extinct in 1681.C．Dodo birds didn’t have natural enemies before 1505.D．Natural enemies killed the last dodo bird in 1681.38．The underlined word means “________” in Chinese.A．死亡的B．减少的C．再生的D．灭绝的39．Which of the following is NOT a reason why the animals are endangered?A．Animals have less and less living space.B．People kill many animals.C．Some animals killed themselves.D．People and some animals break the endangered animals’ homes.40．This passage mainly tells us ________.A．why some animals are endangeredB．how to save endangered animalsC．that we must stop hunting to protect wild animalsD．what life is like for animalsPeter wondered why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was that he was always taking, never giving.One day Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday. I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too. ”“Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come. ”“Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us. ”That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next, he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery. ”Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving, they said “Thank you. ”to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work.

It is also close to Colchester Castle Museum, Colchester Castle Park, the Beul Chang Gardon, and the Colchester Zoo.Wivenhoe is an unusual hotel. There is a big difference between Wivenhoe and other hotels. Firstly. Wivenhoe is part of a university. 4748 These young people are hoping to get jobs in the hotel or restaurant business. The students learn by helping staff in a real hotel, while their teachers watch them carefully. The students do everything, from making beds and cleaning bathrooms to preparing menus and 49 Some British people may think that 50 However, many visitors just love the idea.

There I saw a special crab (螃蟹). It had two claws (螯). One claw was much bigger and longer than the other. I had never seen such a crab before. So on my way home from the beach, I walked into the library.Luckily, I found a book named Come with Me to the Edge of the Sea. It had many pictures of animals living near the sea. The pictures of male fiddler crabs (雄性招潮蟹) looked quite like the crab I found on the beach. I learned a lot about that kind of crab.Sometimes a fiddler crab puts the small claw across the big one. It looks like it is playing the fiddle (violin) when it does this, so some people call it the fiddler crab. Sometimes it waves (挥动) its big claw. It looks like it is saying hello. That’s why other people call it the calling crab. Fiddler crabs’ eyes are on long eye stalks (眼柄). They can put up their eye stalks to look around. It makes them look taller.These crabs are very small. There are lots of other, bigger beach animals that want to eat them. They dig holes in the sand (在沙子里挖洞). The holes are their homes. They are safe inside them. Sometimes the sea water can bring food into their holes.回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过5个词：61．What was the difference of two claws of the crab the writer saw?62．How did the writer find out the crab’s name?63．What’s another name for the fiddler crab?64．When do fiddler crabs look taller?65．Where do fiddler crabs live?六、短文填空短文首字母填空Animals are man’s friends, but many people don’t treat them as friends.

General(A)According to popular folk tales, many animals are smarter than they appear．Dogs bark before earthquakes; cattle predict rainfall by sitting on the ground．But cattle may have another hidden talent of being able to tell which direction is north．Small animals including birds are known to use the Earth's magnetic fields in migration, like a natural GPS(Global Position System)．Dr．Begall and her colleagues wanted to know whether larger animals also have this magnetic sense．They investigated this possibility by studying images of 8,510 grazing(吃草)and resting cattle in 308 plains across the globe on Google Earth, a website that puts together satellite photographs to produce an image of the Earth's surface．Grazing animals are known to orient themselves in a way that minimizes wind cold from the north and maximizes the warmth of the sun when they are cold．The study ruled out the possibility that the sun position or wind direction were major influences on the orientation of the cattle．Theresearchers therefore had to study a lot of cows grazing in lots of different places at different times of day, in order to average out these factors and see whether cattle could act like compass needles．The researchers concluded that cattle do generally orient themselves in a north-south direction．This north-south preference has also been noted in flies and honeybees．But unfortunately, even the high resolution of Google Earth is not powerful enough to tell which end of the cow is its head, and which its tail．The researchers were therefore unable to answer their research questions of whether cattle prefer to look north or south, and whether that differs in the northern and southern hemisphere．46. What is the article mainly about?A. The usefulness of Google Earth.B. Whether cattle are superior to other animals.C. Animals’ sensitivity to natural disasters.D, Whether cattle behave like compass needles.47.Which of the following factors might affect Dr.Begall’s research result?A.Rainfall.B. EarthquakesC. LocationD. Cost48.What is the major finding of Dr.Begall’s study?A.Cattle point north-south.B.Magnetism can’t be studied scientificallyC.Animals prefer to look south.D.Google Earth is a reliable research tool.49.Why couldn’t the researchers get the answer to their research question?A.Many cattle in their study were sitting on the groundB.The cattle constantly change directions to avoid wind chill.C.There is magnetic difference between the two hemispheres.D.They couldn’t tell a cow’s head from its tail in the satellite pictures(B)Astronauts often work 16 hours a day on the space shuttle in order to complete all the projects set out for the mission. From space, astronauts study the geography, pollution, and weather patterns on Earth. They take many photographs to record their observations. Also, astronauts conduct experiments on the shuttle to learn how space conditions, such as microgravity, affect humans, animals, plants, and insects. Besides working, regular exercise is essential to keep the astronauts healthy in microgravity.Astronauts sometimes go outside the shuttle to work. They are protected by a space suit from the radiation of the sun. Meanwhile, the space suit provides necessary oxygen supply and keeps the astronauts from feeling the extreme heat or cold outside the shuttle.When the mission is over, the crew members get ready to return to Earth. the shuttle does notuse its engines for a landing. It glides through the atmosphere. When the shuttle touches the land, a drag parachute opens to steady the aircraft, get the speed right, and help the brakes on the landing-gear wheels to bring it to a complete stop.50.The passage is mainly about______A. how astronauts fly the space shuttleB. how a space mission is completedC. how a space shuttle is constructedD. how far astronauts travel in space.51.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The astronauts need a space suit to work outside the shuttle.B. The astronauts keep themselves warm in a space suit.C. The astronauts need a space suit to survive in space.D. The astronauts can hardly breathe in a space suit.52.A parachute need to be opened because it can_____.A show down the shuttleB. stop the shuttle from fallingC. make the shuttle get closer to EarthD. help the shuttle glide through the atmosphere.(C)Jet lag，caused by traveling between time zones，is becoming a common problem for frequent travelers：for 49 percent it is only a nuisance and for 45 percent it is a real problem. It is caused by disruption（混乱）to the internal biological clock，and may lead to digestive problems，tiredness，and sleep disruption.Generally speaking，our biological clock is slightly disturbed if we just move into the next time zone，but jet lag becomes a problem once we have passed through three or four time zones. The body takes about one day to get over each hour of time difference. But the seriousness of jet lag problems also depends on our direction of travel. If we go north or south，we won’t notice any difference，because there is usually no time zone change. However if we travel west we will be in advance of ourselves as far as our internal clock is concerned，and problems may arise. A west-to-east journey，on the other hand，makes us late compared to the local time. It often demands even greater effort in adjustment since we are not quick enough to catch up with the new time schedule. Therefore，a trip from New York to Los Angeles often causes fewer problems than a Los Angeles-New York trip.53. A traveler who suffers from jet lag has problems in ____________.A. adjusting his biological clockB. knowing the direction of a jetC. knowing the distance of his flightD. getting used to the weather of a new place54. If one travels across three time zones，he needs about ____________ hours to get over his jet lag problem.A. 24B. 36C. 48D. 7255. A person may suffer the most serious case of jet lag when he takes a ____________ journey.A. east-to-westB. west-to-eastC. north-to-southD. south-to-north（D）There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with others. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality (普遍性) of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up. The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness (独创性). Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.Answer the questions in COMPLETE sentences.1.A civilization can’t develop without toys, can it?2.Why are the toys most boys play with different from those that girls play with?3.What is remarkable about the history of toys?4.Why do children in different places play various toys?5.Can you give some specific examples of the toys played by children in nearly every country according to the passages?(at least two examples)Paper Twohave any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good d 3 about the people who lived in china 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know a 4 nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the p 5 . They have heard it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many g 6 , for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call 'remembered history'. Some of it had now been written down. It is not m exact or so v 7 to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.IV.
