She was carrying her handbag in one hand and a plastic carrier bag in the other. There was nobody else in the street except two youths. They were standing in a dark shop doorway. One of them was very tall with fair hair, the other was short and fat with a beard.The youths waited for a few moments, and then ran quickly and quietly towards Mrs Riley. The tall youth held her from behind while the other youth tried to seize her handbag.Suddenly, Mrs Riley threw the tall youth over her shoulder. He crashed into the other youth and they both landed on the ground. Without speaking, Mrs Riley struck both of them on the head with her handbag, and walked calmly away.The two surprised youths were still sitting on the ground when Mrs Riley crossed the street towards a door with a lighted sign above it. Mrs Riley paused, turned round, smiled at the youths and walked into the South West London Judo(柔道) Club.56. The two youths were standing in a dark shop doorway because ________.A. they had nothing to doB. they were homelessC. they were waiting for a victimD. they were guarding the shop57. What did Mrs Riley do to the two youths?A. She hurt them seriously.B. She taught them a lesson.C. She reported them to the police.D. She sent them to a judoclub.58. The story tells about an elderly woman who ___________.A. went shopping at nightB. was on her way homeC. had just left a shopping centerD. had a skill of self-defenceBDear Customers,I love slipping into a comfortable chair for a long read-as I relax into the chair, I also relax into the author’s words, stories, and ideas. The physical book is so elegant that it disappears into the background, and what remains is the author’s world.Today, we at Amazon are excited to announce Mindle, a wireless, portable reading device with instant access to more than 90,000 books, magazines, and newspapers.We’ve been working on Mindle for more than three years. Our top design objective was for Mindle to disappear in your hands-to get out of the way-so you can enjoy your reading. We also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Mindle is wire less, so whether you’re lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book, and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed-you do your reading directly from the device. We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike mobile phones, there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install. We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology. Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light, reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10.3 ounces-less than a paperback-but can carry two hundred books.Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!Leff BezosFounder & CEO59. This passage most probably is a(n) _______.A. advertisementB. news storyC. lab reportD. letter of thanks60. From the passage we learn that Mindle is a device which _______.A. has neither wires nor weightB. is operated by a computerC. disappears while you readD. can find a book within one minute61. With the device, the reader is able to ___________.A. enjoy reading when driving a carB. improve reading skillsC. gain access to free softwareD. get rid of heavy books made of paper62. Different from mobile phones, Mindle ________.A. has a much more friendly screenB. can work in the absence of electricityC. doesn’t involve regular feesD. is wireless and can be used anywhereCSome people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school —walking on my own!When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.63. What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was ______.A. caringB. movingC. encouragingD. interesting64. What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?A. His terrible experience in the hotel.B. His previous business success of various levels.C. His mom’s support.D. His wife’s suggestion.65. Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage?A. Self-confidence, hard work, higher education and a poor family.B. Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.C. Clear goals, mom’s encouragement, a poor family and higher education.D. Mom’s encouragement, a poor f amily, higher education and opportunities.DIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of“early bilinguals”who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,”said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的),”he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,”explained the scientists.66. The main subject talked about in this passage is_________________.A. science on learning a second languageB. man’s ability of learning a second languageC. language can help brain powerD. language learning and maths study67. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions“exercise”in order to ______________.A. say language is also a kind of physical laborB. prove that one needs more practice when he(she)is learning a languageC. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well68. The underlined word“bilingual”probably means________________.A. a researcher on language learningB. a second language learnerC. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learner69. We may know from the scientific findings that______________.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density isB. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brainD. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time 70. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell ustha_________________.A. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in study other subjectsC. Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageD. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language.五、任务型阅读请认真阅读下面短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后图表中的空格里填入最适当的单词。

If the car is pow ered by electricity, it will have two batteries-one battery for the motor and the other for the horn (喇叭), signals (信号灯), etc. Little cars which are powered by gas will go 45kil ometers before needing to stop for more gas.If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed to set up in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be n eeded for the small, slower ones.What's the advantage (优势) of the small cars? ______ A.

Discovering the moon's inner space.B. Traveling to outer space.C. Meeting the"moon people"again.D. Using the earth's inner space.What sort of underground systems are already here with us? ______A. Offices,shopping areas,power stations.B. Gardens,car parks,power stations.C. Tunnels,car parks,shopping areas.D. Tunnels,gardens,offices.What would be the best title for the text? ______A.

However,many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it a nd say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.Even with healthier lifestyles and less diseases,they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all hum ans to death.Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live."It remains to be seen if you pass 120,you know; could you be healthy enough to have good qualit y of life?"said Leonard Poon,director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre."At present people who could get to that point are not in good hea lth at all."By saying"…we are knocking at the door of immortality",Michael Zey means ______ .A. they believe that there is no limit of livingB. they are sure to find the truth about long livingC. they have got some ideas about living foreverD. they are able to make people live past the present life span Donald Louria's attitude towards long living is that ______ .A. people can live from 120 to 180 yearsB. it is still doubtful how long humans can liveC. the human body is designed to last past about 120 yearsD. it is possible for humans to live longer in the futureThe underlined word"it"(Paragraph 4)refers to ______ .A. a great pushB. the idea of living beyond the present life spanC. the idea of living from 200 to 300 yearsD. the conservative estimateWhat would be the best title for this text? ______A.

It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.On 17 July , a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere (大气层) with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is des troyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 t imes the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread o utwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high , rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour . Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and million s of people re drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes a re set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move n orth into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The citi es of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the souther n half of the earth are already dead, but the north won't esca pe for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden b y clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almos t zero.Crops are ruined. The sun won't be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A y ear later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened mo re than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million year s ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe th at the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinos aurs couldn't live through the cold climate that followed and th ey died out. Will we meet the same end?What is mainly described in the passage? ______A. A historic discovery.B. An event of imagination.C. A research on space.D. A scientific adventure.When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes ______.A. an earthquakeB. damages to citiesC. an Earth explosionD. huge wavesWhy can't the northern half of the earth escape for long? ___ ___A. Because the land is covered with water.B. Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.C. Because people there can not live at the temperature of ze ro.D. Because wars break out among countries.By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove ______ .A. animals could not live in the cold climateB. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented storyC. the human beings will die out in 2094D. the Earth could be hit by other objects in spaceO1During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain p arts of a person's brain were injured, he would lose the pow er to do certain things. And so, people thought that each p art of the brain does a different job. But modern research ha s discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exa ctly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the a mount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found out that the way the brain work is not so simple as people in g eneral may think. Chemists tell us that about 100 000 chemi cal changes take place in the brain every second. Some rec ent researches also suggest that we can remember everythin g that happens to us. We may not be able to think of the thin gs we have heard and seen, but it is all kept there in the stor ehouse of the human mind.Earlier scientists thought that the power of one's brain got weaker and weaker as one grew older. But it is now thought th at that's not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exer cise, it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old per son who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mi nd than a young person who has only done physical work with out using much of his brain.In the 19th century, scientists found that a person would los e the power to do certain things ______ .A. when he had drunk too muchB. if certain parts of his brain were hurtC. after he did a quite different jobD. if he had been greatly frightenedIt has been found that the brain usually works ______ .A. in a fairly complicated(复杂)wayB. a little now and a little thenC. without any rest all day longD. in a very simple wayWhich of the following is not true? ______A. Scientists are working hard to solve(解决)the mysteries of the brain.B. As many as six million changes take place in the brain ever y minute.C. A young man doing physical labour is sure to have a muchslower mind.D. Even an old man may have a quick mind only if his brain is given much exercise.The more work our brains have, ______ .A. the less result we will gainB. the more tired they will feelC. the weaker their power will getD. the more work they are able to do请根据下列材料为学校校报写一篇英文短文,简要介绍2004年感动中国十大新闻人物许本禹,并简单阐述一下自己的感受.许本禹,男,1982年出生于山东聊城,现为华中农业大学研究生,2003年7月只身前往贵州大方县贫困地区义务支教.在他的影响下,自己的五名同学和另外很多大学生也纷纷响应,目前该贫困地区多所学校获得支援,教育条件有了很大改观.参考词汇:研究生 postgraduate答案1.【答案】equires【解析】答案:requires ,考查首字母填空,根据句意"你的车出毛病了,需要修理"和首字母,可知要填的词为"requires 需要",描述现在的情况,所以用一般现在时态,主语为it,所以用第三人称单数谓语.你的车出毛病了,需要修理.首字母填空:要根据句意确定要填的词的含义,再根据首字母,确定要填的词,然后考虑词形、词性、时态、语态等语法情况.2.【答案】rivate【解析】答案:private ,考查首字母填空,根据句意"在中国,很多人都买了车,私家车的数量也在迅速增加."和首字母,可知要填的词为"private私人的",形容词作定语.在中国,很多人都买了车,私家车的数量也在迅速增加.首字母填空:要根据句意确定要填的词的含义,再根据首字母,确定要填的词,然后考虑词形、词性、时态、语态等语法情况.3.【答案】ight【解析】答案:sight ,考查首字母填空,根据句意"我的视力很好,我不需要眼镜."和首字母,可知要填的词为"sight视力",为不可数名词,无复数.我的视力很好,我不需要眼镜.首字母填空:要根据句意确定要填的词的含义,再根据首字母,确定要填的词,然后考虑词形、词性、时态、语态等语法情况.4.【答案】ack【解析】答案: lack,考查首字母填空,根据句意"这个项目因缺钱而不得不停止.经理去筹款了."和首字母,可知要填的词为"lack缺乏",为不可数名词,无复数.这个项目因缺钱而不得不停止.经理去筹款了.首字母填空:要根据句意确定要填的词的含义,再根据首字母,确定要填的词,然后考虑词形、词性、时态、语态等语法情况.5.【答案】ooth【解析】答案: tooth,考查首字母填空,根据句意"我有一颗坏牙.我明天得把那颗坏牙拔掉."和首字母,可知要填的词为"tooth牙齿",前面有a,所以用单数名词.我有一颗坏牙.我明天得把那颗坏牙拔掉.首字母填空:要根据句意确定要填的词的含义,再根据首字母,确定要填的词,然后考虑词形、词性、时态、语态等语法情况.6.【答案】master【解析】答案:master,考查翻译填空,要翻译的部分为"掌握",作谓语,后跟宾语,所以用动词master,前面有can,所以用动词原形.只有这样你才能掌握英语口语.翻译填空,先确定要填的词词性,如果是名词,要考虑名词的数,不可数名词没有复数,可数名词要考虑单复数的问题;如果是动词,要考虑时态,主谓一致;如果是修饰名词,应该用形容词,如果修饰动词,应该用副词.7.【答案】urroundings【解析】答案:surroundings考查名词.根据所给的汉语提示"环境"和空前的形容词性物主代词her可知,此处应用名词形式,结合所给的首字母可知"环境"的英语是surroundings,故填surroundings.她住在一个舒适的社区,喜欢周围的环境.翻译填空要在理解句子的结构和含义的基础上根据汉语意思选择恰当的词、短语或句型;同时注意所选词的形式变化.8.【答案】switches【解析】答案:switches考查名词.根据所给的汉语提示"开关"和空前several可知,此处应用名词的复数形式,"开关"的英语是switch,故填switches.墙上有几个开关.你能告诉我哪一个打开大厅的灯吗?名词是中学英语的重要语法,解题时首先要根据语境和句子结构的需要推断出空所需要的词性,然后根据句意和所给的汉语提示写出正确答案.9.【答案】length【解析】答案: length,考查翻译填空,要翻译的部分为"长度",作宾语,所以用名词 length,不可数无复数.你知道这座桥的长度吗?翻译填空,先确定要填的词词性,如果是名词,要考虑名词的数,不可数名词没有复数,可数名词要考虑单复数的问题;如果是动词,要考虑时态,主谓一致;如果是修饰名词,应该用形容词,如果修饰动词,应该用副词.10.【答案】transportation【解析】答案: transportation,考查翻译填空,要翻译的部分为"交通工具",作表语,所以用名词 transportation.列车是一种快速、安全的交通工具.翻译填空,先确定要填的词词性,如果是名词,要考虑名词的数,不可数名词没有复数,可数名词要考虑单复数的问题;如果是动词,要考虑时态,主谓一致;如果是修饰名词,应该用形容词,如果修饰动词,应该用副词.11.【答案】As a result【解析】答案:As a result.考查句型转换.原句中介词短语as a result of 表示原因,同义句中用介词短语as a result表示结果.由于大雨我们错过了火车.考查句型转换.是把意思相同或相近的句子用不同的词汇、短语及句型表示出来.同义句的相互转换除了考查主动句与被动句,复合句与简单句之间的转换,直接引语变间接引语外,还有一些词或短语的替换,仅仅通过替换几个词或短语,而使句子意思不变,就能达到异曲同工之妙."句型转换"题是用来考查学生对句子结构变化所掌握的程度.12.【答案】visited【解析】答案:visited;was considered ,考查句型转换,原句中用visit的名词,在第二个句子中改为用动词visit作谓语,描述过去的事情,所以用过去式.原句中 considered the most modern in this part of space做后置定语修饰station,在第二个句子中用station作先行词,和consider之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态,故填was considered.我第一次参观的是一个被认为是太空中最现代化的空间站.要做好句型转换题,必须注意如下几点:1、注重掌握教材中的基本句和同一句子英语的不同结构表达技巧.2、弄清题意,明确题目考查点,了解题目所给句子与答句之间的关系.3、注意从多角度,全方位考虑问题,突破难点,注意复查,看是否按要求完成了转换.4.、应注意时态、语态、人称数的变化和特殊疑问词的用法,以及助动词的用法等.13.【答案】at once【解析】答案:at once,考查句型转换,immediately"立刻",就相当于at once.我立刻感觉好多了.要做好句型转换题,必须注意如下几点:1、注重掌握教材中的基本句和同一句子英语的不同结构表达技巧.2、弄清题意,明确题目考查点,了解题目所给句子与答句之间的关系.3、注意从多角度,全方位考虑问题,突破难点,注意复查,看是否按要求完成了转换.4.、应注意时态、语态、人称数的变化和特殊疑问词的用法,以及助动词的用法等.14.【答案】find the way【解析】答案:find the way;where/in which,考查句型转换,get lost意思是can't find the way;第二个空考查定语从句,先行词为market,在定语从句中作地点状语,所以用where或in which引导.当我们到达一个看起来很大的市场时,我迷路了,因为人们从四面八方飞过.要做好句型转换题,必须注意如下几点:1、注重掌握教材中的基本句和同一句子英语的不同结构表达技巧.2、弄清题意,明确题目考查点,了解题目所给句子与答句之间的关系.3、注意从多角度,全方位考虑问题,突破难点,注意复查,看是否按要求完成了转换.4.、应注意时态、语态、人称数的变化和特殊疑问词的用法,以及助动词的用法等.15.【答案】don't you【解析】答案: don't you,考查句型转换,表示建议时,why not do sth就相当于why don't you do sth.为什么不坐下休息呢?要做好句型转换题,必须注意如下几点:1、注重掌握教材中的基本句和同一句子英语的不同结构表达技巧.2、弄清题意,明确题目考查点,了解题目所给句子与答句之间的关系.3、注意从多角度,全方位考虑问题,突破难点,注意复查,看是否按要求完成了转换.4.、应注意时态、语态、人称数的变化和特殊疑问词的用法,以及助动词的用法等.16.【答案】takes up【解析】答案:takes up考查谓语动词.根据所给的汉语提示"占用"和句子结构可知,此处是谓语动词,根据句意"在网上玩游戏占了他的大部分时间"可知,此处是叙述的客观情况,所以应用一般现在时,因为主语是动名词短语是第三人称单数,所以动词应用第三人称单数形式,"占用"的英语是take up,故填takes up.在网上玩游戏占了他的大部分时间.翻译填空要在理解句子的结构和含义的基础上根据汉语意思选择恰当的词、短语或句型;同时注意所选词的形式变化.17.【答案】reminded me of【解析】答案: reminded me of,考查翻译填空,要翻译的部分为"使我想起了",用动词短语remind sb of sth,描述过去的事情,所以用一般过去时态,故填 reminded me of.我所看到的使我想起了我的童年.翻译填空,先确定要填的词词性,如果是名词,要考虑名词的数,不可数名词没有复数,可数名词要考虑单复数的问题;如果是动词,要考虑时态,主谓一致;如果是修饰名词,应该用形容词,如果修饰动词,应该用副词.18.【答案】caught sight of【解析】答案:caught sight of;out of sight;考查翻译填空.catch sight of看见;看不见out of sight;根据空格前的got可知是一般过去时.故填caught sight of;out of sight.当他到达那里时,他看见了海上的船,但很快就看不见了.做这类题型,首先根据所给汉语明确句子所要考查的单词或短语的拼写,再结合相关语法知识对单词或短语做出形式上的变化.19.【答案】swept up【解析】答案:swept up考查过去分词.根据所给的汉语提示"打扫"与句子主语Our classroom是被动关系和空前的should be可知,此句是含有情态动词的被动语态,动词应用过去分词形式,"打扫"的英语是sweep up,故填swept up.我们的教室应该每天放学后打扫干净.翻译填空要在理解句子的结构和含义的基础上根据汉语意思选择恰当的词、短语或句型;同时注意所选词的形式变化.20.【答案】sped up【解析】答案:sped up;考查翻译填空.根据句意可知是一般过去时.故填sped up.为了不迟到,他加快了车速.做这类题型,首先根据所给汉语明确句子所要考查的单词或短语的拼写,再结合相关语法知识对单词或短语做出形式上的变化.21.【答案】D【解析】答案选D解析:A:承担;呈现;B:拿走;C:起飞;脱下;D:从事;开始做;占据;接受;继续。

During those years I was much taller than most of my peers (同龄人). To keep others’ attention off my unusual height, I usually went along with the crowd who liked playing jokes, some of which were hurtful and even harmful, on other kids at school.Having seen my behavior, my parents constantly reminded me of the golden rule: To treat others as I would like to be treated. Many times, I was criticized for the hurtful things that I did to others. My parents wanted me to be a leader who could set a good example to others — to be a noble person. They taught me to set my own goals and do the best at everything that I set out to do. My father told me over and over again to be a great man and a leader that I was supposed to be. I knew that he was right, so I tried my best to follow his advice.Once I focused on being the best that I could be at basketball and became the leader of my team. I took the responsibility to set a good example more seriously. I sometimes made mistakes, but humans are sure to make mistakes. I continued to look for opportunities to set a good example because of my father’s advice.“Be a leader, not a followe r. Since people have to look up to you, give them a good reason to do so.”40.

Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原)surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animalswill also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.5.What is the passage mainly about?A.Disappearance of African elephants.B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.C.The effect of African elephants' search for food.D.The eating habit of African elephants.6.What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms〞 most probably mean?A.Fixing the time.B.Worsening the state.C.Improving the quality.D.Deciding the conditions.7.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.C.They are home to many endangered animals.D.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.8.The passage is developed mainly by _____.A.showing the effect and then explaining the causesB.pointing out similarities and differencesC.describing the changes in space orderD.giving examplesCChina's first space-based science fiction blockbuster (大片) The Wandering Earth has stood out among the Lunar New Year's films, winning both the box office and reputation and regarded as a milestone (里程碑) in the development of China's science fiction industry.The film was adapted from the original work of Chinese science fiction writer Liu Cixin and tells the story of human beings fleeing the solar system with the Earth.The New York Times said that after years of hard work, China has joined the global competition for sci-fi movies. In the past, Hollywood had an unbreakable leading position in this field. The Wandering Earth is expected to open the dawning of a new era in science fiction films, breaking the monopoly (垄断) of sci-fi movies by Hollywood.The sci-fi movie featuring outer space is considered the spire (塔尖) of film-making. Such films require advanced visual effects to create realistic space scenes, with grand narrative themes to immerse the audience in the film, and also need to be carefully designed by the manufacturer to avoid logical and scientific mistakes. Therefore, such films usually require huge capital investment, the formation of advanced technical teams and excellent management teams. Even if these conditions are complete, accomplishing such movies will be a high-risk challenge.Liu Cixin said that 75 percent of the special effects in the movie were completed by the Chinese team. From the audience reaction, the Chinese team's work was not inferior to the top team in Hollywood. The film has been released in North America and has an 8/10 rating on movie website IMDb, which is already a good result.In addition to special effects, what is even more surprising is the progress of Chinese film narrative skills, containing both universal concerns and thecharacteristics of Chinese culture. Science fiction movies generally require a sudden global crisis and a creative solution.Since the release of the film 2021: A Space Odyssey (1968), space-type sci-fi movies have gone through more than 50 years of history. Almost all of this half-century belongs to the U.S. From the Star Wars series to the recent years of Gravity (2021) and Interstellar (2021), Hollywood has always been at the forefront of creativity and technology in this field, constantly shocking the audience. However, an new era may be opened by China.9. The author mentions the opinions of The New York Times in Paragraph 3 to show _______.A. the leading position of the USA in sci-fi moviesB. the great impact of the Chinese movie The Wandering EarthC. the difficulty in making outstanding sci-fi moviesD. The Wandering Earth has won great box-office and reputation10. According to the text, why sci-fi movies are considered the spire of the film-making industry?A. Because they often need huge investment.B. Because they can attract a large number of audience by the special effects.C. Because they are always about a global disaster and a related creative solution.D. Because they are most demanding in special effects, technical and managementteams.11. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. The first ice-breaking Chinese sci-fi movieB. How to make a successful sci-fi movieC. The monopoly of the US in sci-fi movie fieldD.

The nursing aid, TunDe hoped that one day she could become an OB-GYN nurse. Her tuition was past due (逾期) and she had a family to care for, but she was determined to achieve that goal for herself and her family.Judy died on July 9,2021. Instead of flowers, her family asked mourners (悼念者) to donate to TunDe’s educ ation, to assist her in paying for her nursing school. In less than a week, they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check.12. Why did Judy’s family choose TunDe in the end?A. To help her with a kind gesture.B.

To my horror, I could only fit into a size 20.Being overweight most of my adult life, I always had very little self-confidence. Wearing a dress I didn’t like to suc h an important event was enough to make me look for help. Thankfully, a friend of mine was attending Weight Watchers meetings, and I noticed her great progress. Her success inspired me to give it a try. I joinedWeight Watchers, attended their meetings and started following their Weight-Loss System.I focused on the plan with determination and never missed a weekly meeting! I discovered that I enjoyed the benefits of having the help and support of others.I also read the weekly online e-newsletter and was inspired by the stories, recipes and information offered there, I also read magazines produced by Weight Watchers, which have great tips and new ideas in each issue.It’s hard for me to even remember the person I was before my amazing change.I didn’t walk anywhere and couldn’t wash my car or walk my dog. Today I do these simple tasks without even thinking about them. But the change didn’t happen overnight. I had to exercise with patience and perseverance (坚持). I decided to take it one day at a time and stick with if for good.The “new me〞 is more self-confident and healthier. I love how I feel now. I have more energy and feel like I’m 25 again.

Which of the following word will you use to describe the writer?A. Weak.B. Calm.C. Patient.D. Silent.CGood music in the life of a child provides many benefits. Music has the ability to change a child’s mind, soul and body. Because music can create deep feelings and it can have a calming effect on a stressful child. According to many classroom teachers, children perform better under the influence of appropriate music. This is true even for older children. According to the Profiles of the SAT Program, students who take part in music scored much higher on the standardized test than those not involved in a music program.Children can benefit from many types of music. Nursery songs, songs of nature, holiday songs and religious songs all teach children different things about the worldaround them. These songs should be incorporated (使并入) into a child’s life. In this way, music becomes more than just rhythms and sounds---it becomes a means for learning about different aspects of life.Music helps develop a child’s intellectual abilities. On the left side of the brain are areas responsible for reasoning and language acquisition (知识技能的获得). These are areas that music can influence. Therefore, music can help children process language more efficiently. As a result, a child’s intelligence is improved through music.Different styles of music can help children understand the culture of others. Each culture has a unique style of music. For example, a child who is exposed to music from AFRIC, India, China, and Europe will come to understand and respect those cultures as well as enjoy the difference forms of musical creativity. This also helps children understand how music can reach across the world and unite cultures.Music has the ability to produce skills within children that will benefit them throughout their lifetime. Success in life requires such skills as problem-solving, creative thinking, risk-taking, effective communication and good teamwork. Participation in music requires study skills and communication skills.9. Why is music able to influence children’s mind and soul?A. Because music can calm down stressful children.B. Because music makes children have a good impression on everything.C. Because music teaches children how to relax.D. Because background music makes children get high scores in exams.10. Good music in the life of a child provides many benefits, because ________.A. one kind of music can teach children different things about the world around them.B. music can affect the right side of the brain to improve intelligence.C. different styles of music can help children understand their own culture.D. music helps children develop different skills.11. What’s the pur pose of the author listing the example of the boy in Paragraph 4?A. To let children know the uniqueness of music among different countries.B. To prove the effect of music on helping children understand world cultures.C. To make children enjoy worldwide music.D. To explain how to learn different cultures.12. What is the main idea of the passage?A. An introduction to different kinds of music.B. Music has a positive effect on culture.C. Music benefits children a lot.D. Advice on how to create music.DThere once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby daughter. When they saw their baby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!〞 they sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,〞the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.〞The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,〞he said, “but it takes time. We have to dig a mineral from the KunLun Mountains when the snow melts for the second time. The snow melts on those mountains only once in six years. So we need twelve years.〞At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents with long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave the doctors expensive presents.13. The doctors would be beaten if __________.A. the baby daughter didn’t drink their medicineB. they refused to obey the king’s orderC. the baby daughter grew to the right sizeD. the baby daughter became a monster14. The old doctor wanted to keep the king’s daughter for twelve years because ___________.A. they needed a lot of different plantsB. they need a lot of different mineralsC. this would give the baby time to grow upD. they had to dig a mineral the snow melted for the second time15. The doctors thought it impossible __________.A. for them to change the king’s orderB. for them to prepare the medicine in twelve yearsC. for the small baby to drink the medicineD. for them to make the baby have teeth and hair or grow teeth at onceD.
