AEuropeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland's volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic(微小的) ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled(吸入) particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples' health and said WHO's warnings were "hysterical." They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance — like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe — its health effects are often minimal, experts say."Not all particles are created equal," said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, "In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful." And he said most Europeans' exposure tovolcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near districts of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the less dangerous they will be. "The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven't heard of any ill effects there," he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was "over the top" and "a bit hysterical."1. The text is mainly about ______.A. the effect of volcanic ashB. the health risk of volcanic ashC. the disadvantages of volcanic ashD. the opinions on health risk of volcanic ash2. Which one is true according to Paragraph3?______.A. The volcanic ash’s effects on Europeans were little.B. The ash caused irritation even in healthy people.C. Other experts thought WTO’S warning s were useful.D. The volcanic ash was more dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.3. The underlined word “hysterical” in Paragraph3 most probably means ______.A. amazingB. practicalC. valuableD. overstated4. What can we learn from the passage?______.A. The volcanic ash wouldn’t be harmful to people.B. All experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.C. People close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to some experts.D. Europeans should stay indoors because Iceland's volcano starts settling.BToo much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs.Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists , jobs and money are lost.5.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ________ .A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourists’ customsC. over - crowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic6.It can be inferred from the text that ________ .A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism muchD. we can't build too many support facilities7.The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ________ .A. waste a lot of moneyB. weaken their economyC. help establish their customsD. help improve their lifeCImagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags，bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands andeast of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert，with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.In recent years，there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste，resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full，lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste，and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier，another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August，2009，a team from the University of California，San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.8.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.C. It lies l60 000 kilometers east of California.D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.9.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific.D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.10.Which column can you find the passage on a newspaper?A. Sports and entertainment.B. Media and culture.C. Environment and society.D. Science and technology.第二部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was stud ying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently s haking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don't say!”“You don't say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic (适当的话题). “Well, I'd better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well,shall we talk about the Great Wall？ By the way, have you ev er been there？”“Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He w as deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “T he Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don't say!” I couldn't help asking, "Why do you ask me not to t alk about it？" "Well, I didn't request you to do so," he answered, greatly su rprised. I said, "Didn't you say ‘you don't say’？”Hearing this, t he Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You d on't say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise .Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have bee n more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what t he English teachers said is always right to us students.8. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because _ ______.A. English idioms were not importantB. I was not careful with English idiomsC. my teacher didn't emphasize the importance of themD.

They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals , such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time --- at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each othe r and to help them find food. We now know they do not use th eir ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mou th, called the jaw.Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of ye ars there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendshi p with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a danger ous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt t o look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded J ack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area－except for The Penguin. Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countr ies of the world now protect them and in these places it is aga inst the law to kill them.12. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that the y _____.A. live in groupsB. have their own languageC. are warm-bloodedD. have large brains13.Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find it s way around?A. Its jaw.B. Its earsC. Its nose.D. Its eyes.14. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _____.A. people are cruel to animalsB. Jack is different from oth er dolphinsC. dolphins are friendly and cleverD. dolphins should be prot ected by law15.Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for J ack?A. They wanted his help.B. They enjoyed playing with him.C. He was lonely and liked to be with peopleD. He was seriously wounded.第二节: （共5小题, 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

（每小题2分，共30分）AIn the world, soccer of football is the most popular sport. This i s because many countries have wonderful teams for the Worl d Cup. The World Cup is held every four years. To remember 2002 FIFA World Cup ,children from different countries and m ore than 60 children from Japanese schools came together an d spent three weekends drawing a big picture called “Dream(梦幻) World Cups ”in Japan .The children drew animals, flowers and people playing soccer under a blue bright sky. They wish ed each football team good luck by drawing the flags(旗帜)of all the countries that will take part in the World Cup in Ja pan and South Korea. The picture was put up in a park near a playground in Yokohama .Some football teams will have gam es there.Are you a football fan(迷)？The World Cup makes more and more people interested in fo otball .Teenagers(青少年)like playing and watching football .Many of them love some football stars so much that they get the pictures of their favori te players on the walls of their rooms.

Wee k by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a go od student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tri ed to hear all this as long as I could. At last , I became very a ngry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things sh e says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and mak e a list of everything she said and mark the points that are tru e. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t chan ge (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairl y clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy.
