Antarctica is the 38and windiest place in the world, even colder and windier than the Arctic. In summer, the sun shines for twenty-four hours a day. 39in winter, it’s completely dark for about three months. Very 40plants grow there, but there is some wildlife, like sea lions and penguins (企鹅).When Captain James Cook traveled around Antarctica by ship 41, he found nobody living there.

The poor little girl had a very serious disease and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a blood transfusion(输血)from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗体)to fight the illness.The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would be willing(愿意的)to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(迟疑)for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I’ll do it if it can save Lisa.”As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He 1ooked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the colour returned to his sister’s face, his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid. He 1ooked up at the doctor and asked, “Will I start to die now?”He was too young to understand the doctor. He thought he would have to give all his blood to his sister, but he agreed.()45.What did the boy feel when the doctor talked to him about the transfusion?A. He was unhappy to help his sister.B.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has also brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution.Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world. Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad to all living things in the world. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city.The pollution of SO2is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution. ( ) 48.

It’s also known as Doctors Without Borders (无国界医生). Medicos Sin Fronteras is French. This organization was set up by some French doctors in 1971. Since then, MSF has sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who have suffered from disasters, such as war and illness.Now, about 3,000 doctors and nurses work for MSF. And over 27,000 doctors have volunteered for MSF so far. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be ready to go almost anywhere in the world and, of co urse, they should face difficulties. Most of MSF’s work is in Africa. When MSF chooses doctors for a task, they have to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks and become experienced, they might be sent on an emergency (紧急的) task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.But why would doctors leave a comfortable life and a good pay to join MSF? Some of them say the experience they have is a great help in their life. And they say that it’s great to give others a helping hand.MSF needs support. They get donations from the government and businesses. But 80% of its donations come from doctors themselves.( ) 51.

Some MSF doctors received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.DHave you ever dreamed about flying in the sky in your own flying car? It would be wonderful to fly at will. You would not need to spend hours in traffic every day. You could also travel large distances very quickly. Since the Wright brothers built their airplane in 1903, several pioneers have worked to invent a flying car. According to car industry experts(专家), the dream of flying cars will soon be real.An engineer named Paul Moller recently invented such a car. Moller has spent almost 40 years and millions of dollars developing his prototype. The car which has room for four people is designed to take off and land in small spaces and can fly as high as 10,000 meters. It uses four external engines(外部引擎) to move up, down, and sideways. The car, unluckily, can’t fly very far because it needs much fuel(燃料). Moller’s car is guided by computers and satellite systems. He showed that a car could be built to fly.A flying car society has many problems to solve. The first thing is safety. If there are no roads, what will stop people from crashing into each other? It is easy for one car to travel, but what happens when there are thousands? Another thing is cost. At the moment, it costs several million dollars for one year. How can people have so much money to buy them? The third thing is fuel. There needs to be enough fuel for these cars to use. The fuel also needs to be less polluting than the kind we use now. Still, technology(技术)gets more advanced(先进的). It is likely that these problems will be solved in a few years. Then, dreams of quick and easy flight will be real.()54. What is the main cause for Paul Moller to invent a flying car?A. Because he wanted to set a good example for those pioneers.B. Because he wanted to solve some traffic problems for the policemen.C. Because he wanted to show people that a car could be built to fly.D. Because he wanted to get a lot of money by inventing a fantastic new thing.()55. The underlined word “prototype” in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.A. programB. formC. modelD. engine()56. According to the passage, all the following are true EXCEPT ________.A. scientists will probably solve the problems of flying cars as technology gets more advancedB. it is not possible for Moller’s car to fly farC. flying cars will be used in five yearsD. flying cars cost a lot of money right now()57. Based on the information in the passage, what can be inferred(推断) about flying cars?A. They offer a number of advantages(优点)over normal cars.B. Famous people will buy flying cars when they come out.C. The fuel of flying cars is more polluting.D. They will cost too much money in a few years.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题40分)五、词汇运用(每空1分,计8分)用括号中所给汉语提示或者英语单词的适当形式填空。
