Take bladderworts (狸藻类植物), a kind of such plant, for example. They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond. “But these are the fastest-known killers of the plant kingdom, and able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door!”Once the trap door closes on the victim, the enzymes (酶) similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insect. When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.Meat-eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn’t offer much food value. In such conditions, these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needs over thousands of years. North America has more such plants than any other continents.Generally speaking, the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye, like pitcher plants, which get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers (a container like a bottle) full of nectar (花蜜).The Asian pitcher plant, for example, has bright colors and an attractive half-closed lid. Curious insects are tempted to come close and take a sip, and then slide down the slippery (光滑的) slope to their deaths.Hair-like growths along the pitcher walls ensure that nothing can escape, and the digestive enzymes can get to work. A tiny insect can be digested in a few hours, but a fly takes a couple of days.Some of these pitchers are large enough to hold two gallons. Meat-eating plants only eat people in science fiction movies, but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn’t a good place to get a drink.56. From the first paragraph, we learn that bladderworts can ____.A. kill an insect in a secondB. capture an insect in 1/50 of a secondC. be found floating on a quiet lakeD. digest a fly in a few hours57. If the trap door of a meat-eating plant is closed, the plant is ____.A. fooling insects into taking a sipB. producing nectarC. tempting insects to come closeD. enjoying a dinner58. Meat-eating plants can grow in wet and poor soil because they ____.A. can get nutrition from animalsB. don’t need much food valueC. can make the most of such conditionsD. have developed digestive enzymes59. What can be captured by meat-eating plants for food?A. A childB. A dogC. A little birdD. A little fishBIt is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive to bite again another day.-- When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible.Don’t use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.-- Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off the fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.-- Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. The hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.-- Take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it begins to struggle and is able to swim.-- Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give the released fish a better chance of survival.60. People sometimes set a fish free after catching it because they ____.A. don’t want it to dieB. hope it will grow quicklyC. don’t want to have it as foodD. want to practice their fishing skills61. Which of the following will probably make a fish ill?A. Taking the hook off it.B. Removing its scales.C. Touching its eyes.D. Holding it in your hand.62. A proper way to release a fish is to ____.A. move it in water till it can swimB. take the hook out of its stomachC. keep it in a bucket for some timeD. let it struggle a little in your hand63. What is the purpose of the text?A. To show how to enjoy fishing.B. To persuade people to fish less oftenC. To encourage people to set fish freeD. To give advice on how to release fish.CNext time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation (感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions – those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one person’s perception (感知) of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire even when the wire “mother”carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.Feelings of “warmth”and “coldness”in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study have been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold”is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perception influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses (假设), handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,”says Bargh.64. According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ____.A. the visitors to his officeB. the psychology lessons he hasC. his physical feeling of coldnessD. the things he has bought online65. The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ____.A. adults should develop social skillsB. babies need warm physical contactC. caregivers should be healthy adultsD. monkeys have social relationships66. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to ____.A. evaluate someone’s personalityB. write down their hypothesesC. fill out a personal information formD. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively67. We can infer from the passage that ____.A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiencesB. feeling of warmth and coldness are studied worldwideC. physical temperature affects how we see othersD. capable persons are often cold to others68. What would be the best title of the passage?A. Drinking for Better Social RelationshipsB. Experiments of Personality EvaluationC. Developing Better Drinking HabitsD. Physical Sensations and EmotionsDEveryone has heard of the San Andreas fault (断层), which constantly threatens California and the West Coast with earthquakes. But how many people know about the equally serious New Madrid fault in Missouri?Between December of 1811 and February of 1812, three major earthquakes occurred, and all centered around the town of New Madrid, Missouri, on the Mississippi River. Property damage was severe. Buildings in the area were almost destroyed. Whole forests fell at once, and huge cracks opened in the ground, releasing some strong smell of chemicals.The Mississippi River itself completely changed character, developing sudden rapids and whirlpools (急流和漩涡). Several times it changed its course, and once, according to some observers, it actually appeared to run backwards. Few people were killed in the New Madrid earthquakes, probably simply because few people lived in the area in 1811; but the severity of the earthquakes were shown by the fact that the shock waves rang bells in church towers in Charleston, South Carolina, on the coast. Buildings shook in New York City, and clocks were stopped in Washington, D.C.Scientists now know that America’s two major faults are essentially different. The San Andreas is a horizontal (水平的) boundary between two major land masses that are slowly moving in opposite directions. California earthquakes result when the two masses make a sudden move.The New Madrid fault, on the other hand, is a vertical (垂直的) fault; at some points, possibly hundreds of millions of years ago, rock was pushed up toward the surface, probably by volcanoes under the surface. Suddenly, the volcanoes cooled and the rock collapsed, leaving huge cracks. Even now, the rock continues to settle downwards, and sudden sinking motion causes earthquakes in the region. The fault itself, a large crack in this layer of rock, with dozens of other cracks that split off from it, extends from northeast Arkansas through Missouri and into southern Illinois.Scientists who have studied the New Madrid fault say there have been numerous smaller quakes in the area since 1811; these smaller quakes indicate that larger ones are probably coming, but the scientists say they have no method of predicting when a large earthquake willoccur.69. This passage is mainly about ____.A. the New Madrid faultB. the San AndreasC. the causes of faultsD. current scientific knowledge about faults70. This passage implies that ____.A. horizontal faults are more dangerous than vertical faultsB. vertical faults are more dangerousC. a lot of people would die if the 1811 New Madrid earthquake happened todayD. the volcanoes that caused the New Madrid fault are still alive.71. As used in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, the word “essentially” means ____.A. greatlyB. basicallyC. extremelyD. necessarilyEWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.72. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?A. Staying on the farmB. Moving to the countrysideC. Leaving home for the cityD. Running away from the school73. Which of the following is true about the writer?A. He is very old now.B. He is in good health.C. He prefers driving a car.D. He lives in the city now.74. In the passage, the writer tries to _______.A. express his opinions about way of lifeB. describe his life in the countrysideC. show an interest in the outside worldD. persuade the reader to live in the city75. How is the passage mainly developed?A. By inferringB. By comparingC. By listing examplesD. By giving explanations第II卷（非选择题，共三部分，满分45分）第一部分：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Like most of my classmates, I have either brothers nor sisters. 76.________In any other words, I am an only child.
