In the long discussion of water on the Moon, a new study contradicts (与……相矛盾) some recent reports that say the Moon had water at the time of its formation. A group of researchers reports in the journal Science that when the Moon was created, some 4. 5 billion years ago, there was not much hydrogen (氢气) on it, and therefore no water.The researchers surveyed and evaluated this by analyzing chlorine isotopes found in lunar rock samples from Apollo missions. The range of chlorine (氯) isotopes in lunar samples was 25 times that found in samples from Earth.“If the Moon had significant levels of hydrogen, as Earth did, this range would have been far less,” said Zachary D. S harp, a scientist in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the study’s lead author. “The chlorine would have stuck together with hydrogen, forming compounds like hydrogen chloride, and escaped from the Moon’s surface,”he said. The abundance o f chlorine indicates a lack of hydrogen and water.“The amount of water on the Moon was way too low for life to have ever have possibly have existed there,” he said.Most scientists believe the Moon was formed when a large object struck Earth, breaking off a chunk (a vast piece) that has since orbited Earth. On Earth, goes one theory, water was released as steam from molten basalts (玄武岩) over time, eventually forming bodies of water.“An understanding of whether the Moon was dry or wet will help us understand how water appeared on Earth,” Dr. Sharp said.1. A new study indicates that on the moon.A. there is plenty of waterB. water is unlikely to existC. water existed in the pastD. there is a little water now2. The author would like to tell us through the sixth paragraph.A. why there is no water on the MoonB. how the Moon was formedC. when the Earth struck the MoonD. where the Moon orbited3. What does the underlined word “this” stand for in the second paragraph?A. Neither hydrogen nor water on the Moon.B. Too much chlorine isotopes on the Moon.C. Not being much hydrogen, no water on the Moon.D. More chlorine exists on the Moon than Earth.4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist of New Mexico was in charge of the new study.B. Chlorine isotopes are 25 times in lunar larger than Earth.C. The more abundant chloride, the shorter hydrogen and water.D. The new study is beneficial to understand how water appeared on Earth.5. What can we learn from the passage?A. There are enough water on the Earth.B. Hydrogen chloride easily escaped from the Moon’s surface.C. The Earth had significant levels of hydrogen.D. Water on the Earth is directly from molten basalts.【参考答案】1—4、BBCBC 阅读理解。

British men are encouraged to cry.There are certain things British men like to believe about themselves. The first is that one day they will again win the World Cup. They also believe they do not cry.Over the centuries, Britons are believed to have a “stiff upper lip”. But is this true?Yes, it is. A recent study arranged by Kleenex on how the British express their emotions reveals that 95 percent of them still contain their emotions.Moreover, while 72 percent think this is unhealthy, 19 percent can’t remember the last time they “let it out”. As a result, Kleenex is launching the “Let It Out” campaign that encourages Britons to grab a tissue and have a good cry. These days, however, the male Briton’s attitude toward crying is changing. Though the majority still struggles to open up emotionally, a 2004 study by Oxford’s Social Issues Research Center found that 77 percent of British men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable. Half of London males admitted crying in front of their mothers. Scotsmen are the least emotional, although they are the most likely to cry at weddings.Peter Marsh, director of the center, said: “Crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness. Like with David Beckham, crying because you’re dropping off your boy at nursery isn’t seen as weak.”Winston Churchill was said to be a frequent crier, shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter (防空洞), and when he saw his wife after a long absence.Psychologists say that while society has accepted that men can cry, there are limits. Ronald Bracey, a consulting psychologist, said: “If a man began to cry when he was having stitches (缝针)in hospital, he would be considered as a wimp(软弱的人). Men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain.”1. What does the passage mainly deal with?A. Impression of British men.B. British men’s dream of the World Cup.C. Advice on how to control emotions.D. Different attitudes British men have towards crying.2. Which of the following concerning the British men is NOT true according to the passage?A. They are supposed to easily control emotions over the centuries.B. They are confident that they will again get successful in the World Cup.C. About 50% of British men admitted crying before their mothers.D. Nowadays, the male Br iton’s attitude toward crying is changing.3. The word “contain”in Paragraph 4 means______.A. storeB. hold backC. includeD. stir up4. What does the author think of the British men’s crying?A. They should cry if hurt.B. They should keep firm not to cry to show they are not wimps.C. They should be brave in face of physical pain and cry if necessary when facing other problems.D. They should “let it out”whatever problems they meet with.【参考答案】1—4、DCBC较难题目特训：介绍说明类阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU)researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度),” said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer eng ineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素)battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical systems(M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.“People hear the word‘nuclear’and think of something very dangerous, “ he said. “However, nuclear power sources have al ready been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems. “His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor. “ Kwon said. “By using a liquid semiconductor, we belie ve we can minimize that problem.”Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that the battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.1. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?A. He teaches chemistry at MU.B. He developed a chemical battery.C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.2. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 .A. to show chemical batteries are widely appliedB. to indicate nuclear batteries can be safely usedC. to describe a nuclear-powered systemD. to introduce various energy sources3. Liquid semiconductor is used to .A. get rid of the radioactive wasteB. test the power of nuclear batteriesC. decrease the size of nuclear batteriesD. reduce the damage to lattice structure4. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery .A. uses a solid semiconductorB. will soon replace the present onesC. could be extremely thinD. has passed the final test5. The text is most probably a .A. science news reportB. book reviewC. newspaper adD. science fiction story【参考答案】1--5 、CBDCA科普知识类阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy in chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.”On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly. It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep“the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to“go park, see duck.”“I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波)of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of—what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remem ber the day we flew the kites?”1. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought.A. she was too old to fly kitesB. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her housework thenD. her girls weren’t supposed to play the boys’ game2. By“we were all beside ourselves”, the writer means that they all .A. felt confusedB. went wild with joyC. looked onD. forgot their fights3. What did the writer think after the kite-flying?A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.B. They should have finished their work before playing.C. Her parents should spend more time with them.D. All the others must have forgotten that day.4. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.B. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.D. She thought it was a great day to play outside.5. The youngest Patrick Boy is mentioned to show that.A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memoriesB. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his lifeC. childhood friendship means so much to the writerD. people like him really changed a lot after the war【参考答案】1--5 、CBDBA人物故事类阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby: She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, “The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lo se a few pounds too; so it's a win­win situation all around.”They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a three­year waiting list.George C．Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year, double the average growth of the last five years. Mr.Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables. Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden.本文讲述了由于生活费用增高，加上经济下降，越来越多的人开始自己种菜，并且现在人们开车少了，旅游少了，有更多的时间来种菜，减少生活费用。

Morocco is located at the northwest of Africa and is bordered in the north by the strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea.The Atlantic Ocean keeps the west and the north of the country more temperate (温和的)．The country also offers the broadest plains，some of which run along the Atlantic Ocean and the highest mountains in North Africa including the Atlas Mountains.Starting with the symbol of Morocco，Marrakech is a beautiful city that has remained unspoiled by the volume of tourists that flock there each year.One of the finest monuments in Morocco is greatly benefited by this amount of tourism.Actually their high volume contributes in a positive way to preserving one of the greatest monuments of Morocco.Fes is the third largest city in Morocco and is the capital of the Fes­Boulemane Region.It is separated into three parts，Fes el Bali more commonly known as the old walled city，now classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site，Fe s­J did and the Ville Nouvelle.Fes el Bali is believed to be the largest car­free urban area in the world.Fes is a splendid place to visit to heighten the senses with the colors，smells and sounds. Casablanca is an enormous city which is near the capital of Morocco and a place where any European would feel at home.Casablanca was made famous by the movie and gives the impression of being a romanticplace.Unfortunately like many other popular cities around the world，it is crowded，noisy，and polluted，a far city from the romantic ideal of the film.Because it has the biggest port，Casablanca，the important city of Morocco，has everything that the tourists need.Asilah is a city situated on the Atlantic Ocean and is one of the most stunning (出色的)old cities of Morocco.The city is set along the cliffs which make it beautifully presented and an ideal place to continue adding to its economy by the fishermen.The economy is also reliant on the trading of cattle，sheep and cereal.If you are having a holiday in Morocco during August then you will be fortunate enough to experience one of Asilah's cultural festivals where you can enjoy the lively music and wonderful paintings.【文章大意】本文详细介绍了摩洛哥的位置以及它的几个著名城市的特点。

Going on holiday not only makes you feel good while you're there --- you gain the health benefits for months, new research shows.Jetting off to exotic destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found. The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed. Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year --- as many as one in three don’t --- to get the benefits.The study compared key health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period. The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non-holidaymakers deteriorated by 14 percent.The study also found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress --- known as the stress-resilience test --- improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers. Tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.The Holiday Health Experiment was conducted by tour operator Kuoni and Nuffield Health, the UK’s largest healthcare charity.1.. According to the passage, how many people go on holiday?A. One third.B. Two thirds.C. 17 percent.D. A quarter.2.. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?A. The further you go, the better the benefits.B. Most people like to stay at home during the holiday.C. Holiday makers are more adaptable than non-holidaymakers.D. The result of the study is mostly based on the description from the people involved.3.. The author intends to tell us that __________.A. we have to go on holiday as much as possibleB. you’ll certainly get depressed if you don’t go on holidayC. it is best to go to foreign countries like MaldivesD. we had better go on holiday for the benefit of health4..

While some dictionaries define the word “right” as “a privilege” when used in the context of “human rights”, we are talking about something more basic. Originally, people had rights only because of their membership in a group, such as a family. Then, in 539 BC, Cyrus the Great, after conquering the city of Babylon, did something totally unexpected—he set all slaves free and let them return home. Moreover, he declared people should choose their own religion. Cyrus’ statements are about the first “human rights” declaration in history.Every person has certain basic rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called “human rights” rather than a privilege, which can be taken away at someone’s sudden desire. They are “rights” because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace. Yet many people, when asked to name their rights, will list only freedom of speech and belief and perhaps one or two others. There is no question that these are important rights, but the full scope of human rights is very broad. They mean choice and opportunity. They mean the freedom to get a job, adop t a career, select a partner of one’s choice and raise children. They include the right to travel widely and the right to work without trouble, abuse and threat of arbitrary (霸道) dismissal. They even embrace the right to leisure.In ages past, there were no human rights. Then the idea turned up that people should have certain freedoms. And that idea, in the wake of World War II, resulted finally in the document called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the thirty rights to which all people are entitled.1. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. What Are Human Rights?B. Why Do We Have Human Rights?C. How Do Human Rights Come Into Being?D. What To Do With Human Rights?2. How did the first human rights come into being?A. By Cyrus conquering the city of Babylon.B. By Cyrus setting the slaves free.C. By Cyrus making his statement about human rights.D. By choosing ones own beliefs.3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. Human rights can be taken away for some reason.B. Human rights have the same meaning as privileges.C.
