Astronauts who are 31 to go there in the next decade may find plenty 32 water to slake（消除）their thirst. And with water present the 33 of finding some sort of life of Mars are 34 brighter.This is the view of forty geologists 35 have been analyzing 36 of pictures and other scientific 37 obtained（获得）by robot explorers in the sixties and seventies.To begin with, scientists thought the Red planet was as 38 as the Moon 39 dust storms swirling over vast sandy 40 . But now the picture isvery different 41 mountains and valleys carved by 42 glaciers and rivers rushing and rumbling deep underground.In a report on the analysis of the Martian pictures Dr Michael Car of the U.S. Geological Survey comments:“I am convinced 43 lots of water on Mars.” Any surface water will be in the 44 of ice. But it could save explorers from 45 to take so much 46 with them.The report says 47 Mars probably had a warmer climate in ages 48 due to its axis（轴）having been more tilted（倾斜）towards the sun.49 signs of plant or animal life have been detected by instruments landed on Mars, 50 the landing vehicles have been sent there for a few years.31.

He changed scientific thinking in the modern world. He is generally considered as the greatest physicist who ever lived. What’s more, he devoted a lot of his time and energy to working for human rights and progress.In 1933, while Einstein was visiting England and the United States, the Nazi government of Germany took all his things away, including his position and his citizenship. Einstein then settled down in the UnitedStates. In 1939, Einstein, who loved peace—afraid of a world in which only Hitler would had an atomic bomb（原子弹）—tried hard to persuade President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a famous letter to have the United States start uranium research. That Germany, after all, had no bomb, and that the first bomb would fall on Japan, could not have been expected. After the war, Einstein never stopped working for peace and reducing the number of soldiers in the world.Although he wasn’t connected with any accepted religion（宗教）, Einstein felt that trust in a personal God was too special an idea to be suitable to the God at work in this universe, but he never believed that the universe was one of chance or disorder. The universe to him was one of pure law and order. He once said, “God may know everything, but he is not hateful.”51. From the passage we know that .A. no scientist is as great as Albert Einstein during this centuryB. Albert Einstein was likely to be the greatest scientist of his timeC. Albert Einstein made the first atomic bomb for the United States of AmericaD. Albert Einstein gave up his German citizenship for political reasons52. If Einstein had known that Hitler had no atomic bomb and that the first atomic bomb would fall on Japan, he would .A. have continued his scientific researchB. have won another Nobel Prize for physicsC. not have advised starting uranium research in the U. S. A.D. not have moved to the U. S. A.53. Einstein in 1933.A. visited England and the U. S. A.B. lost everythingC. became a man without a countryD. both A and C54. Einstein believed that everything in the universe .A. was kept in order by its own lawB. had nothing to do with each otherC. happened in an irregular wayD. was made by the personal GodB“That’s funny! These fellows in the middle of the plate have died.”Dr Alexander Fleming was talking to another doctor in a laboratory in London. He had been studying some germs（细菌）that he was growing on a plate. They were very dangerous germs because they caused different kinds of illnesses that could kill people. Dr Fleming found that a mould（霉菌）had floated in through the window landing on the plate. It had killed some of the germs it had touched.“This certainly looks promising.” Fleming said. “We must grow some ofthis mould to see if it will kill other germs.”He named the strange mould “penicillin”. It proved to be a killer of many germs. Fifty mice were given deadly germs and then half of them were injected（注射）with penicillin. The twenty-five untreated mice died, but twenty-four of those lived that had been treated with penicillin. Dr Fleming wrote a report about what he had found out. Hardly anybody took any notice of it.In 1938 Dr Howard Florey, an Australian working in London, read Dr Fleming’s report and was very interested. He found that penicillin was effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings.When World War II broke out, it was not possible to make enough penicillin in England. Dr Florey went to America where he helped to have enormous amounts of this wonderful drug made. It saved the lives of thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmen who would have died from their wounds if the hospitals had not had penicillin.55. Dr Alexander Fleming .A. had been studying a mould which was very dangerous and could kill peopleB. had been studying some of the germs on a plate which could cure illnessesC. had been making experiments on some germs that he was growing on a plateD. had been making experiments on different germs that could help sick people to get better56. Some of the germs on the plate .A. had been killed by a mould floating in through the windowB. had been killing one another, which was a surprise to FlemingC. had been killed by a mould that had been grown by Dr Alexander FlemingD. had been killed by a mould found by another doctor57. The reason why the twenty-five mice died was that .A. they had been given deadly germs and had been injected with penicillinB. they were almost dead ahead of the experimentC. they were easy to die in the experimentD. they had been given deadly germs and had not been injected with penicillin58. In 1938, an Australian working in London named Howard Florey read Dr F leming’s report and .A. left England for America, making the drugB. went to America to save the lives of thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmenC. found penicillin effective in treating blood poisoning in human beingsD. went to America to make this drug for mice59. The word “enormous” means .A. 剩余的B. 恰当的C. 少许的D. 巨大的CEinstein, a great scientist of the age, was almost as strange as his Theory of Relativity.Once, while riding a street car in Berlin, he told the conductor that he had not given him the right change. The conductor counted the change again and found it to be correct, so he handed it to Einstein, saying, “The trouble with you is that you don’t know your figures.”Einstein said that there were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity although a good many books had been written to explain it.He had nothing but contempt（藐视）for the things most people set their hearts on—for fame and riches（财富）and luxury（奢华）.He didn’t want money or praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work and playing the violin and sailing his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anything else in life. He said that he often thought in music.60. The conductor thought Einstein .A. wasn’t good at mathsB. had good memoryC. was either mad or strangeD. liked to make trouble61. Einstein meant that many people .A. knew his Theory of Relativity well because they could explain itB. had written to have grasped his theory correctlyC. pretended to have grasped his abstract theoryD. admired him very much62. The underlined part “set…hearts on” me ans .A. believeB. haveC. loveD. hateDLouis Pasteur, the famous French chemist and bacteriologist, invented “pasteurization”. In 1854 Pasteur was made head of the department of science at the University of Lille, and it was there that he made one of his most famous discoveries. Lille was a major center for wine and beer-making, and some of the local wine-makers asked Pasteur if he could help solve the problem of keeping wine fresh. At that time, it was believed that food and drinks go “bad”due to a purely chemical process (变化过程). But during a series of experiments Pasteur proved that tiny living organisms (微生物) caused food and drinks to go bad. In the case of wine and beer the organisms are already present in the form of the various yeasts (酵母) that caused the fermentation (发酵) process. Pasteur discovered that heating the wine gently for a few minutes after ithad fermented would kill off the yeast that was left in the wine, with the result that the wine would remain fresh for much longer. He also proved that food and drinks could be turned bad by other organisms that were present in the air, and that they too would keep fresh much longer if they were kept in airtight containers.The heating process was so successful that it made Pasteur famous. It was named “pasteurization” in his honour, and by about 1900 it had been widely used for processing and bottling cows’ milk. The result was a huge drop in the number of bottle-fed babies dying from infant diarrhea (婴儿腹泻) and from that time on it has been a standard treatment for milk and many other food products. This simple process has saved thousands, possibly millions, of lives worldwide.63. Pasteur became in 1854.A. the chairperson of the science department at the University of LilleB. the director of a chemical laboratory at the University of LilleC. the general manager of a large beer-making companyD. the president of the University of Lille64. According to the passage, Lille was a major center for in the mid-19th century.A. growing grain cropsB. making beer and wineC. doing chemical researchD. producing various kinds of yeasts65. In the last sentence of paragraph 1, the underlined word “they” ref ers to .A. wine and beerB. food and drinksC. the various yeastsD. other organisms66. We can infer from the passage that Pasteur’s discovery .A. is no longer widely used for treating milk and other food produtsB. did not bring much profit to the wine makers in LilleC. has done a lot of good to children in the worldD. has greatly reduced the number of wars in the worldEOn the first day of class, Mr Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature(生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that.When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so it was with everyone else’s in our class. What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn’t wait to get the answer.Very simple, Mr Whiteson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why none of usnoticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this?We should have guessed it out, Mr Whiteson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that it completely disapp eared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.67.

I discovered something I had 16 forgotten, something that happened to me as a child.One day, as I went to sleep after my sisters and I had said our prayers, I recalled the events of the day and how 17 I had behaved toward Mother. “I must make things right now,” I thought. Quietly I 18 out of bed and picked up the pencil and paper from the dresser, and then tiptoed into the hall. The 19 from the living room shone dimly. I knew Mother was downstairs still doing some sewing. I quickly 20 a note asking Mother to excuse me for being so 21 . I didn’t want my sisters to know my 22 so I added a postscript, “Please don’t let anyone else see this.” Then I 23 moved into my parents’ bedroom and put the letter under Mother’s pillow.The next morning when I 24 my bed after breakfast, I 25 found a return note under my pillow.

God第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）A★Growing up together across the street in Twin Falls, Idaho, Lisa Fry and Paula Turner never doubted their friendship would last forever. But after Fry married, moved to New York City and had a baby, her letters to Turner su ddenly went unanswered. “Do you think I’ve somehow offended(冒犯) her?”Fry asked her husband.Turner, meanwhile, had made herself believe she was no longer important to Fry. “She’s got a family now,” she told herself. “We’re just too different to be close like before.”Finally, Fry picked up the courage to call her old friend. At first, the conversation was awkward, yet soon they both admitted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together and quickly fell into their old habit of laughing and sharing confidences.“Thank goodness I finally took action,” Fry says. “We both realized we were as important to each other as ever.”There are good reasons to cherish(珍惜) our friendships. Some years ago a public-opinion research agency, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked 2007 people to identify one or two things that said the most about themselves. Friends are put in a higher place than homes, jobs, clothes and cars.“A well-established friendship carries a long history of experience and interaction that defines who we are and keeps us connected,”says Donald Pannen, a researcher. “It is a heritage(传统) we should protect.”Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., says, “The better friends you are, the more probable it’ll be for you to face conflicts.” And the result can be what you don’t want—an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Broken FriendshipB. Cherish FriendshipC. What are Good Friends?D. How to Make Friendship Last Long?37. The underlined word “awkward” in Para. 3 probably means _______.A. feeling nervous and uncomfortableB. seeming not to careC. feeling easy and convenientD. seeming calm and comfortable38. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Lisa Fry and Paula Turner believed their frien dship wouldn’t last forever.B. Turner didn’t reply to Fry’s letters because she was too busy.C. People all think friends are far more important than homes, jobs, clothes and cars.D. Lisa Fry and Paula Turner misunderstood each other at first.39. What do you think the author will talk about next?A. How to mend the troubled friendships.B. Some more examples of good friends.C. Functions of Friendship.D. How to cherish friendship.B ★★In an interview, England football captain Beckham admitted his six-year-old son Brooklyn’s maths homework made him befuddled.Beckham, 30, admitted to being puzzled when Brooklyn recently asked for help with a schoolassignment and had to turn to his former Spice Girls pop star wife Victoria to help out.“Their homework is so hard these days. I sat down with Brooklyn the other day, and I had to turn it over to my wife, ‘Victoria, maybe you should do the homework tonight.’ ”“It’s done totally differently from what I was taught when I was at school, and you know, I co uld do nothing but ‘Oh my God, I can’t do this.’”“Brooklyn said, ‘Please do it with me.’ and I could say anything else but ‘I’ll read your book with you.’”The Real Madrid midfielder’s son attends the Runnymede College in the Spanish capital, which follows the British national curriculum(标准).The Mail on Sunday gave examples of some national curriculum maths questions set for seven-year-olds. They include: “Betty went to the shop at 11:45. She came back half an hour later. What time did she come back?” and “What is 12 divided by three?”B eckham also admitted he has no “lucky” pre-match routines (fixed and regular way of doing things), with them too being tough to remember. “I find that if I follow a routine ... it gets to the stage where you are thinking, ‘Right, is it the left side ... th e left boot that I put on first, or the right side?’ There are so many things that can go through your mind.”40. The passage is mainly about ______.A. Beckham’s cultural stateB. Beckham’s familyC. Beckham’s characterD. Beckham’s opinions towards ed ucation and pre-match routines41.

They will teach you some of the most important lessons about who you are. This may help you understand different kinds of relationships, what makes each relationship special, and how to communicate in a positive way.What makes a relationship healthy?__________: The most important part of any healthy relationship between two people is being able to talk and listen to each other. You and the other person can find out what your common interests are. You can share your feelings with the other person and trust that he or she will be there to listen to you and support you. In healthy relationships, people don’t lie. Communication is based on honesty and trust. By listening carefully and sharing your thoughts and feelings with other people, you show them that they play an important part in your life.Respect and Trust: In healthy relationships, you should learn to respect and trust important people in your life. Disagreements may still happen, but you learn to stay calm and talk about how you feel. Talking calmly helps you to understand the real reason for not getting along. It makes it much easier to find out how to fix it. In healthy relationships, working through disagreements often makes the relationship stronger. In healthy relationships, people respect each other for who they are. This includes respecting and listening to yourself and your feelings so you can set boundaries and feel comfortable. You will find that you learn to understand experiences and feelings of others as well as having them understand your experiences and feelings.48. The lessons about the relationships may help you understand the following EXCEPT _______.A. different kinds of relationshipsB. different kinds of people and occasionsC. how to communicate in a positive wayD. what makes each relationship special49.

But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45 miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to forbid residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.There’s no more room to bury the dead. They can’t be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal rules that forbid new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration”, he says.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil’s National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to forbid residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. “I haven’t got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can’t die. That’s ridiculous,” Amarildo do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the rule next week. “Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved,” said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant to the mayor. “But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is forbidding us from building a new cemetery?” The bill states that “offenders will be responsible for their acts”. However, it does not say what the punishment will be.52. What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim about?A. Ban on smoking in public places.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding residents from dying early.D. Forbidding burial grounds in preservation.53. What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that”?A. Officials in Biritiba Mirim have nothing of these rules.B. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unerpected.C. Officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.54. What’s the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal rules?A. He objects to them.B. He gives strong backing to them.C. He asks the residents for advice on them.D. He remains silent about them.55. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against the federal rule.B.
