并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.【A】Saturday, March 24thWe have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.Tuesday, March 27thBangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.Friday, March 30thOur trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life-no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say "hello". Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness.I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.1.The diaries above show the writer's _____ days in Thailand.A. 3B. 7C. 15D. 302.It seems that visitors _____ in Bangkok.A. often feel hungryB. can always find cheap thingsC. can’t take any photosD. can enjoy themselves3.Which of the following is TRUE?A.

A full moon also affects people’s sleep more or less, reports a Swiss team of scientists. Even people who sleep in a lab without windows could reduce their sleeping time a little once a month.To test the moon’s influence, 33 adults of both sexes and ages of many kinds spent several nights in a sleep lab. As they slept, researchers recorded their brain activity, eye movements and hormone levels (荷尔蒙水平). On nights closer to a full moon, the sleepers took an average of five minutes longer to fall asleep, and slept for 20 minutes less. In addition, brain activity fell by 30 percent during the sleep. And hormone levels that help control sleep cycles went down. On these nights, the sleepers complained they couldn’t sleep well even though they didn’t know the moon’s cycle. On the bright side, no sleeper turned into a werewolf.The Swiss team doesn’t know how the moon affects sleep. The gravity (重力) of the moon causes ocean tides(潮汐)to rise and fall. But that force is too weak to affect sleep, Gajochen says. He believed some body’s biological clock may be affected by the moon cycles. There may be another reason, says David Dinges. This sleep researcher at the University Of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia says that the body clock is very sensitive(敏感的)to light at night. Those sleepers could have been affected by having too much moonlight before arriving at the lab.4.The writer mentioned “werewolves” in the first paragraph to ________.A. show there are the moon’s cyclesB. attract people’s attention to the reportC. introduce a creature to readersD. ask people not to sleep alone in the lab5.What happened to the sleepers during the experiment on a full moon?A. They slept for about five minutes longer.B. They could only sleep for 20 minutes.C. Their brains were not as active as they wereD. They complained they were too tired to sleep.6.The last paragraph is developed mainly by ________.A. analyzing (分析) reasonsB. explaining differencesC. making comparisonsD. following the time order7.The passage is mainly about ________.A. the sleeping problems caused by the moon’s cyclesB. the influence of the moon on human sleeping habitsC. the moon’s influence on sleepin g and its possible reasonsD. the ways to get a better sleep on a full moon night【C】The younger generation (一代人), according to a new survey, can hardly remember the last time of climbing trees or flying kites, as they are kept indoors and short of outdoor experiences.The survey of 1,000 people found that the current (现在的) generation of 15- to 34-year-olds have fewer memories (记忆) of 12 key countryside activities such as swimming in rivers or going fishing.The research found that three quarters of the older generation remembered playing games or climbing trees, compared with two thirds of younger adults.The 55+ generation also had more memories of collecting stones, visiting a farm or pond dipping. Altogether, two thirds of older people had more memories of playing outdoors compared to just over half of the younger generation.The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) carried out the study at the start of the school term to stress the growing worry that children are not getting outdoors enough.The study has found that 82 percent of people think that schools should provide more outdoor education and most believe nature is still important to children today.Dr. Mike Clarke, head of the RSPB, said children who are usually kept indoors are easier to get "nature deficit disorder". He said public money should be used to take children on day trips to nature and to build wildlife gardens, especially in poor areas."To many people, it would seem clear and unquestionable that an important part of childhood is exploring the world around you. Unfortunately, this is far from the fact and the children are having less time and fewer chances to get close to nature," he said."The RSPB has more than a 40-year history in getting children outdoors and isstill continuing to play our role. We now need the government and the schools to realize that they should play the most important role in making it possible for all the children to experience, enjoy and benefit (受益) from the outdoor environment." 8.Compared with the current generation, the older generation had ________.A. more homework and exercises when they were childrenB. more memories of wonderful life in the countrysideC. fewer memories of taking part in outdoor activitiesD. fewer chances of going on a visit to the big cities9.The RSPB carried out the study in order to tell people to ________.A. spend more time with their kidsB. care more about the kids' growthC. let their kids get more outdoor activitiesD. order the schools to provide outdoor education10.According to the passage, "nature deficit disorder" often happens to ________.A. children who often stay indoorsB. children who often go outdoorsC. all the younger generationD. all the older generation11.We can learn from Dr. Clarke's words in the last paragraph that ________.A. all the children can’t get close to nature and aren’t healthy any longerB. outdoor activities are the most important for the current generationC. the RSPB is more important than the government and schools in getting kids outdoorsD. the RSPB plays an important role in getting kids outdoors all the time【D】Could your cellphone give you cancer? Whether it could or not, some people are worrying about the possibility that phones, power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses, from rashes to brain tumors.Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties. David Carpenter, a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany, in New York, thinks there’s a greater than 95 percen t chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (白血病). Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cellphones can cause brain tumors. “It’s apparent now that there’s a real risk,” said Carpenter.But others believe these concerns are unjustified. Dr. Martha Linet, the head ofradiation epidemiology(流行病学) at the US National Cancer Institute, has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion. “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones,” said Linet. “We don’t have the evidence that there’s much danger.”Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场) and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all. A multinational investigation of cellphones and brain cancer, in 13 countries outside the US, has been underway for several years. It’s funded in part by the European Union, in part by a cellphone industry group. The final report should come out later this year, but data so far don’t suggest a strong link between cellphone use and cancer risk.12.From the passage we can learn that some people are worried because _______.A. they have evidence that the use of cellphones can lead to cancerB. they make a fuss over cellphone useC. some experts have given a warningD. cellphones are responsible for brain tumors13.By saying “I don’t support warning labels for cellphones,” Dr. Martha Linet has the idea that _______.A. the worrying is unnecessaryB. cancer-warning labels should be on cellphonesC. there is a link between cellphones and cancerD. cellphones have nothing to do with cancer14.Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards the debate?A. Optimistic.B. Objective.C. Opposite.D. Casual. 15.What’s the best title of the passage?A. Cellphones: is there a cancer link?B. There is a link between cellphone and cancer.C. A research on the cellphone.D. The cellphone and radiation epidemiology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。
