What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame，they may be famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous，but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂)for change.They have a vision from the mountain top.They have the skill and the charm to move the masses.They create new possibilities.Without Gandhi，India might still be part of the British Empire.Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King，Jr.，we might still have segregated(隔离的)buses，restaurants，and parks.It may be possible for largescale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities，but the pace of change would be slow，the vision uncertain，and the committee meetings endless.一．根据短文，写一篇30词左右的摘要____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________二．根据所读短文，选择最佳选项1．Although heroes may come from different cultures，they ________. A．generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB．probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC．are often influenced by previous generationsD．all unknowingly attract a large number of fans2．According to the passage，heroes are compared to highvoltage transformers inthat ________.A．they have a vision from the mountaintopB．they have warm feelings and emotionsC．they can serve as concrete(具体的)examples of noble principlesD．they can make people feel stronger and more confident3．Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ___________________.A．they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB．their performances do not improve their fans morallyC．their primary concern is their own financial interestsD．they are not clear about the principles they should follow4．Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ___________.A．are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB．can move the masses with the skill and the charmC．are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD．can provide an answer to the problems of their people5．The author concludes that historical changes would ___________________________. A．be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB．not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC．take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleD．produce leaders with attractive personalitiesBI work as an aid on a school bus. There is a guy Tyrell who is almost completely blind. Tyrell was all smiling for about a week. He's normally a quite happy kid, but I could tell this was different from the normally silly smile I see. Wednesday morning my curiosity finally got me to ask him why.He told me that he was going to ride his new 3-wheeled bike when he got home. He couldn't control his happiness. When he got off, he gave me a smile. A smile will forever be in my heart.The next morning, I noticed that his eyes were quite puffy (浮肿的). So were his mother's. I asked them why. She explained that was due to many hours of tears the night before. She said that Tyrell got to ride the bike once before he had to come in for dinner and was promised he could ride it again afterward. He left it in the back yard where they thought it would be safe.However, after dinner, the bike was nowhere to be found. They immediately broke into tears because they knew the thing that he treasured so much was stolen. She called her close friend to find some comfort.The friend called her up later and said that she forgot to tell Tyrell's mom that she had something for them and asked if it would be OK to bring it over. She, of course, was still crying from the thought that another bike would be impossible to afford and said yes. The friend brought over a huge box, in which there was a brand new bike for Tyrell.When they noticed what was in the box, they thanked their angel and cried even harder, not of sadness but of joy, and thankfulness.6. Why did the writer stress the guy's smile repeatedly in the first two paragraphs?A. His smile gave the writer a deep impression.B. The writer liked his happy smile very much.C. It set off how serious the loss of bike caused.D. The smile showed the happy ending of the story.7. Tyrell's mom cried so sadly at the lost bike because ____.A. her son wouldn't ride the bike any moreB. her family couldn't afford another bikeC. she felt very sad for the lost bikeD. she had just bought the bike for her son8. We can conclude from this story that ____.A. there are good people out thereB. offering someone helps is better than stealing from himC. the loss of the bike puts the family into a sad situationD. one can obtain happiness from helping othersCGoing to college has been such a new experience for me. Everything is different from when I was in high school. One thing I've noticed is that I haven't been focusing on my coursework like I planned.I thought I would spend most of my college life studying. But since I've been in college, about 60 percent of my time has been devoted to social life, while only 40 percent of my time has been devoted to my studies. I never knew I would make so many friends in such a short time.It's been so overwhelming (无法抵抗的)! I'm not saying that making friends is bad, but I'm starting to realize how much socializing has cut down on the time I should have spent on studying.Needless to say, that has to be changed.I've realized that I really don't want to spend an extra year or two here just because I slacked off as a freshman. So the first thing I'm going to do is to cut down on the amount of time I spend socializing. I will also have to say goodbye to a good part of the activities I like to attend.It's really difficult to cut these things out of my life, but I have to choose: I can have a full-time social life and fail college, or I can learn to balance my time between friends and studying and keep good grades. I think I'll stick to that second option!I may be a little strict on myself, but I'm here to get an education, not to learn how to socialize more! I want to have fun at college, but at the same time, I want to get a good education and have a bright future!9. What did the writer realize about his first year at college?A. He doesn't work as hard as in high school.B. Teachers don't care about him any more.C. He could make quite a lot of friends.D. He could spend much time on study.10. The writer makes a decision that he will ____.A. devote himself to his study rather than making friendsB. say good-bye to all his college activitiesC. cut down all his social life to have a good educationD. try not only to study well but also to have fun at college11. The underlined phrase “slack off” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to “____”.A. do one's bestB. spare no effortC. have a good timeD. make less effort12. We can infer from the passage that the writer will ____ at college.A. spend more time on studyB. make a lot of friendsC. take more activitiesD. cut down his studying timeDAfter a couple has had their first child, to their disappointment they became infertile and couldn't have more children. Cloning would enable such a couple to have a second child, perhaps a younger twin to the child they already have. Many couples have difficulty having children, and sometimes it is impossible for couples to have children because they are infertile. Cloning would allow these couples to have children.It is hard to tell someone that they cannot use cloning to have children when no other possible ways to have children are available. This is one reason why it is difficult to decide whether cloning is moral or not. The following are some of the reasons why cloning should be allowed.Through cloning, research can progress. We possibly can learn more about cell. We may develop technology to allow easier genetic testing and fixing problems such as spinal cord injuries, cancer, and many more.Cloning organs for organ transplants (移植) is one of the major practical reasons that cloning should be allowed. There is always a high demand for organs. Some argue for the cloning of humans to create extra body parts. Others talk of just wanting to clone an organ to replace a faulty organ.Rejuvenation (恢复青春) is also a key argument for advocates (提倡) of cloning. Some scientists believe that injecting cloned healthy heart cells into damaged heart tissue will lead to healing of the heart. By combining the technology for cloning and the technology for growing human stem cells, conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and some other ageing disease may be curable. The possibilities are endless and may be left undiscovered if human cloning is forbidden.13. The underlined word “infertile” in Para. 1 means “____”.A. unable to have childrenB. too poor to grow cropsC. poor in pregnant knowledgeD. unable to afford to bring up children14. How many reasons does the writer give in this passage about why cloning shouldbe allowed?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Cloning babies for infertile couples is moral.B. Through cloning, research work in cells can make great progress.C. Cloning cells can make some diseases concerning ageing curable.D. Cloning technology may help improve medical technology.16. From the passage, we can know the writer's attitude toward human cloning is ____.A. negativeB. supportiveC. uninterestedD. opposingEBARCELONA (Reuters) —“Galactic Suite”, the first hotel planned in space, expects to open for business in 2012 and would allow guests to travel around the world in 80 minutes.Its architects say the space hotel will be the most expensive in the galaxy, costing $4 million for a three-day stay.During that time guests would see the sun rise 15 times a day and use Velcro suits to crawl (爬) around their pod (分离舱) rooms by sticking themselves to the walls like Spiderman.Company director Xavier Claramunt says the three-bedroom hotel's joined up pod structure, which makes it look like a model of molecules, was based on the fact that each pod room had to fit inside a rocket to be taken into space.“It's the bathrooms in zero gravity that are the biggest challenge,” says Claramunt. “How to provide enough space for more private activities of the guests is not easy.”But they may have solved the issue of how to take a shower in weightlessness — the guests will enter a spa room in which bubbles of water will float around.When guests are not admiring the view from the windows of their pod rooms'， they will take part in scientific experiments on space travel.“There is fear associated with going into space,” said Claramunt. “That's why the shuttle rocket will remain fixed to the space hotel for the duration of the guests' stay, so they know they can get home again.”“But,” says Claramunt, “I'm hopeful that the impact of seeing the earth from a distance will stimulate (激发) the guests' urge to value and protect our planet.”17. Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?A. “Galactic Suite”: the first hotel planned in spaceB. Fly me to the moon: space hotel sees 2012 openingC. Fly to the moon: a greatest dream for humansD. Building a space hotel: a dream or a reality?18. Which of the following is NOT what guests can do in “Galactic Suite”?A. Watching the sunrise.B. Taking a weightless shower.C. Doing scientific experiments.D. Walking in space.19. Suppose we will travel to space, the following will be the problems we must solve EXCEPT ____.A. weightlessnessB. fearC. pollutionD. money20. The writer's writing this passage is to ____.A. prove space travel is possibleB. tell us a bright dream of going to spaceC. explain some problems existing in space travelD. report a space hotel to be completed by 2012IV 单词拼写1. The role of the news m_________ informing public opinion is of great importance.2. The small town looks e__________ as it did when it was built 200 years ago.3. I'm sorry to d_________ you so late, but I was wondering if I could use your phone.4. For a teacher to hit a child is not just m__________ wrong but also illegal.5. These profits are based on the a__________ that prices will continue to rise.6. The treatment won't cure her — it m__________ stops the pain.7.

模块综合测评(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AThe Renaissance，considered by modern scholars to have been the time between 1300 and 1600，was a period of European history when many new inventions and beliefs came into being.The Renaissance is traced back to rich Italian cities such as Florence，Milan，and Venice.In these cities businessmen started to spend their extra money on things like painting and education，and to consider new techniques of banking and systems of government.A new type of scholar，the humanist(人文主义者) arose.Humanism was concerned with humankind and tin and Greek，literature and philosophy，music and mathematics were among the subjects humanists studied.The Renaissance gave rise to new forms of painting and sculpture.During the Renaissance，artists were no longer regarded as mere artisans (工匠)．Many artists drew on mathematics in order to become more accurate in their measurements(度量) and to make sure an object was presented in realistic proportions.They also studied the way light hits objects and the ways our eyes perceive(注意到) it.A new kind of paint，called oil paint，was invented.The Renaissance affected all of the society.Many people became interested in politics，and the world outside their towns.They became explorers，businessmen，etc.The effect on religion was especially strong.In the Middle Ages people were primarily concerned with serving the church and getting to heaven.But the increase in arts and education gave people things to look forward to in life，and made them lose interest in the church.The Renaissance produced many great minds.Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest，although he was not regarded that way at the time.Among his many works of art were The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.He is also regarded as a great inventor，and is credited for coming up with the idea of the helicopter.1．According to the second paragraph，the Renaissance________.A．occurred all over EuropeB．started in ItalyC．influenced art，finance，and physical educationD．was the most popular in Florence【解析】细节理解题。

一、阅读理解(共8小题，每小题2分，共16分）AResearchers have developed new software using smartphones’ GPS and imaging abilities that determine the exact location of distant objects as well as monitor the speed and direction of moving objects. The software could eventually allow smartphone-armed soldiers to target the location of their enemies. On the home front, the software could be used by everyone, including golfers judging distance to the green and biologists documenting the location of a rare animal without disturbing it.“The great advantage of a smartphone is that it provides so many tools in a single, readily available, relatively inexpensive package ，” said Wang Qia, a doctoral student who led the development of the software. “For example, on the battlefield, a soldi er needs a rangefinder, compass, GPS and other tools to get information before calling in an air strike. With our software, the soldier can have all those instruments in one device that can be purchased off the shelf. When that soldier returns from war, she can use the same software to protect her family by clocking a speeder near her children’s school and catching the criminal on video.Wang and his colleagues developed their software to locate and track:Targets of known size — when the size of the target is known, a single image is enough to pinpoint the target’s location.Targets of unknown size — if the exact size of a target is unknown, the software uses two images to triangulate the location of the target.Moving targets — by taking a short video of a moving target, the smartphonesoftware can calculate how fast the target is moving and in what direction it is going.“Currently, our software is limited by the physical abilities of smartphonehardware, but the devices are improving rapidly ，” Wang said. “We expect thatimprovements in GPS accuracy, battery life and camera resolution will allow oursoftware to make even more accurate observations.”1. From Paragraph 1 we can know that the new software can ________. A. determine the speed of moving objects B. locate objects in the distance exactly C. defend soldiers against their enemies D. help biologists protect rare animals2. How does the software calculate the speed of a moving object? A. By taking a short video. B. By locating its position. C. By taking a single image. D. By measuring its real-life size.3. What’s Wang Qia’s attitude towards the future of the software? A. Casual. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious.D. Flexible.4. What is the best title of the text?此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号A. Wang Qia, a Talented Doctoral StudentB. Use Smartphones to Their Full PotentialC. Targeting and Tracking with SmartphonesD. Smartphone — Armed Soldiers on the BattlefieldBAn extinct mountain goat that was once common in the Pyrenees became the first animal to be brought back from extinction. Researchers used frozen DNA to produce a clone，but the newborn kid died within minutes of birth due to breathing difficulties.The Pyrenean ibex is a type of mountain goat，which is believed to have died out completely in 2000.Before the death of the last known individual (a 13-year-old female known as Celia)，biologists took cells from her skin and ears，which were frozen in liquid nitrogen (氮)．An earlier cloning attempt to use the skin cells failed. But the latest attempt involved the creation of 439 cloned embryos (胚胎)．Of these cloned embryos,57 were put into the female domestic goats，but only one goat gave birth and the newborn cloned kid died after seven minutes as a result of lung disease.Researchers say that other cloned animals，including sheep，have been born with similar lung disease，but they say that overall the experiment was a major step forward in the effort to bring the ibex back to its mountain home. The leading researcher Jose Folch says，“The cloned kid was genetically like the ibex. In species such as the ibex，cloning is the only possibility to avoid its complete disappearance.”The failure to produce a living clone from DNA that was frozen only fifteen years ago shows the difficulty researchers would face in trying to bring back species that have been extinct for decades or centuries. Researchers have had the idea of bringing back the Tasmanian tiger, which went extinct in 1936. There are，however, other species that have been seriously suggested for cloning, such as the giant panda, the African bongo antelope, the Sumatran tiger and the pygmy hippo. Supporters believe cloning provides hope of keeping these endangered animals alive before they die out.5. What do we know about the cloned ibex?A. It died of lung disease.B. It was the first cloned animal in the world.C. It lived for thirteen years.D. It was born in 2000.6. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A. cloning has developed quickly in developed countriesB. no more animals will die out in the futureC. cloning makes it possible to preserve endangered speciesD. cloning seldom results in physical problems for animals7. What’s the best title for this passage?A. Great advancement in cloning goatsB. Difficulties in saving extinct animalsC. Public concerns about cloningD. Cloning brought back an extinct species for a while8. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?A. Society.B. Sports.C. Amusement.D. Science.二、语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分）Diets have changed in China —and so too has its top crop. Since 2011,the country ____1____（grow）more corn than rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over ____2____ past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent.A taste for meat is ____3____ (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead of rice ____4____ (improve) water quality. Corn uses less water ____5____ rice and creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased ____6____ (pollute) in the country's major lakes andreservoirs and made drinking water safer for people.According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total ____7____ (globe) fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005—when the government ____8____ (start) a soil-testing program ____9____ gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers---and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the emission(排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China's approach to protecting its environment while ____10____ (feed) its citizens "offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide." says the bank's Juergen Voegele.三、七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）The color of animals is by no means a matter of chance; it depends on many considerations, but in the majority of cases tends to protect the animals from danger by making it less outstanding. Perhaps, it may be said that if coloring is mainly protective, there ought to be fewer brightly colored animals. ____1____. The kingfisher itself, though so brightly colored, is not easy to see.___2___. Thus, for instance, the lion, and the wild donkey are all sand—colored. “Indeed,in the desert, neither trees, brushwood, nor even undulation (起伏) of the surface afford the slightest protection to its enemies.____3____.” says an expert.The next point is the color of the mature caterpillars(毛虫), some of which are brown. This probably makes the caterpillar even more outstanding among the green leaves. What would you do if you were a big caterpillar? Why, like most other defenceless creatures, you would feed by night, and lie hidden by day. ____4____. When the morning light comes, they go down the stem of the food plant, and hide among dry sticks and leaves around the ground, and it is obvious that under such circumstances the brown color really becomes a protection. While we may say as a general rule that the large caterpillars feed by night and hide by day, it is by no means always the case that they are brown: some of them still remain green.____5____, and that the brown color is a later adaptation.A. So do these caterpillarsB. Therefore, the color of the animals is brightC. We can say that they formed a good habitD. Desert animals are generally the color of the desertE. We may conclude that the habit of hiding themselves by day comes firstF. However, there are some cases where vivid colors are themselves protectiveG. So the color of birds, snakes and even smaller animals, is of one uniform sand color四、短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）We are going to organizing a bicycle trip to our school farm this Sunday. It lie in the western suburb, covering an area of about 50 acres. There are different kinds of cattle raised and variety vegetables planted.

Authors Kyle Kurpinski and Terry D ・ Johnson pretty much have me convinced that human cloning is quite possible and is a future certainty.Kurpinski and Johnson are both bioengineering experts; unlike similar scientists you have seen in the movies, they both have a sense of humor.What surprises me is that Kurpinski and Johnson are able to take something as complicated as DNA and make it understandable.The book Hoiv to Defeat Your Own Clone teaches us what is now known as DNA- encoded （编码），how that happens, and why people with similar DNA don' t look or act the same.The book not only helps us get a basic understanding of what DNA and its purpose are, but also explains cloning and stem cell （干细胞）research.lt occurs to me that a lot of people who are against stem cell research don't know what they are protesting about.The authors provide a history of cloning, as well as information about stem cells.The real fun starts when the authors attack various myths about cloning.Obviously, too many people have been watching too many bad movies and television programs.Remember they^ re just fictional stories.IG somehow, scientists manage to clone you.Twenty years from now your clone isn’t going to kill you.Among the myths explored and exploded are that a clone will know everything you know and will act as you do, that heads which are cut off can be kept alive, and that a clone has no belly button （月上脐）• Many of the myths are ridiculous but many people believe （hem.Kuipinski and Johnson also detail some bio- improvements u that really work You see, genes can be controlled to help you sleep better and become smarter, healthier, and taller. Well...not exactly you, but future gen erations.If you do wind up in a battle with your own clone, who will be considerably younger than you, remember that it is not you and that it doesn‘ t know what you know.解析：选 C 。

It was a fine day for sightseeing around downtown Portland. We were a group of young students on our day __16__，just out for some __17__. The weather was perfect for a __18__，so when lunch time came, we set out sights on a small park in town.When my friend Robby __19__ for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her __20__. We watched the vendor (小贩) put together the perfect hot dog, just the __21__ Robby wanted it. But when she took out her money to pay him, the man __22__ us.He said, “Don't pay me. This will be my __23__ of the day.”We __24__ our thanks, joined our friends in the park. But __25__we talked and ate, I was impressed by a man sitting alone nearby and looking at us. I could __26__ that he hadn't showered for days. Another __27__ person, I thought, like all the others you see in cities.We finished __28__ and decided to head off for more sightseeing. But when Robby and I went to the garbage __29__ to throw away my lunch bag, I heard a strong voice ask, “There isn't any food in that bag, is there？”It was the man who had been __30__us. He was obviously hungry, couldn't __31__ to see anything throw away.I felt bad for the man, but I didn't know what I could do. This was __32__Robby said, “I'll be right back. Please wait for me a minute，” and she ran off. I watched __33__ as she went across to the hot dog stand. She bought a hot dog, crossed back to the __34__ man and gave him the food.When she came back to us, Robby said simply, “I was just passing on the __35__ that someone gave to me.”16．A.away B．offC．back D．out答案：B副词off表示“放假或请假”。
如：have a day off“休一天假”。
此处是副词的特殊用法，其他几个副词都没有此用法。
17．A.fun B．foodC．research D．class答案：A for fun或just for fun是固定短语，一般在句中作状语，意为“(仅仅)为了好玩；为了取乐”。
另外一个类似的用法是for pleasure。
18．A.game B．tripC．picnic D．party答案：C从前面大家外出游玩，后面买食物看，此处应该是说：天气非常适合“野餐”。
此处不是表示“游戏”，也不是表示“开晚会”，trip表示“来回的旅行”；此处“我们”已经在游玩，因此说天气适合旅游也不合逻辑。
19．A.reached B．headedC．looked D．rushed答案：B head用作不及物动词，意为“朝着向……地方去”；后面往往跟表示方向的介词或副词，如for, to, south等。
reach (out) for意为“伸手去够”；look for“寻找”；显然不合题意；rush for表示“向……飞奔而去”；此处也不合语境。
20．A.guard B．watchC．time D．company答案：D keep one's company为固定短语，意为“陪伴某人”；company意为“陪伴”。
其他名词都不适用这一搭配。
keep guard意为“守卫”；keep watch“监视；放哨”；keep time 意为“守时”。
21．A.way B．kindC．color D．smell答案：A way后面加定语从句Robby wanted it，省略了引导词that/in which。
意思是说：小贩按照Robby想要的方式把热狗包好。
本题从语法分析的角度可排除其他选项，其他选项都不能跟此种形式的定语从句。
22．A.puzzled B．frightenedC．surprised D．pleased答案：C此处是说，Robby要付款时，小贩却不收钱，这一点令我们“吃惊”。
puzzle“使迷惑不解”；frighten“使害怕”；please“使满意”；都不符合此处的语境。
23．A.pleasure B．dutyC．honor D．present答案：D小贩不收钱，显然是把热狗当作“礼物”送给我们。
“快乐”、“责任”、“荣幸”都不符合题意。
24．A.owed B．toldC．said D．gave答案：C此处是一般的“道谢”的说法，因此用say thanks (to sb.)。
owe thanks to表示“应该感激某人”；其他选项不符合搭配。
25．A.as B．beforeC．after D．since答案：A as引导时间状语从句，当“在……的时候；一边……一边……”讲，强调两个动作同时发生。
此处表示我们边走边吃热狗的时候，注意到了附近的流浪汉。
before, after 显然不合题意；since引导时间状语从句时，当“从过去某个时候到现在”讲。
26．A.notice B．tellC．find D．sense答案：B tell后面跟从句时，当“断定”讲。
notice“(无意间)注意到”；find“找到具体的物体”；sense“感觉到”；此处表示作者的一种判断，故可排除其他选项。
27．A.careless B．shamelessC．homeless D．ugly答案：C本文的人物是位“流浪汉”，当然是“无家可归的”；“粗心的”；“无耻的”；“丑的”；都不合题意，注意作者及同学对这位流浪汉非常同情。
28．A.eating B．playingC．sightseeing D．talking答案：A此处由特定的语境判断是“吃完”热狗后，我们继续去观光。
B、C两项显然与后面的内容矛盾。
此处他们主要的动作是“吃”，而不是“谈话”。
29．A.pile B．canC．box D．spot答案：B can当名词，原意为“罐头盒子”。
此处garbage can相当于dustbin，意为“垃圾箱”。
30．A.following B．guardingC．catching D．watching答案：D此处指流浪汉一直在“注视着”我们。
“跟踪”；“护卫”；“抓住”；都不合语境。
31．A.bear B．refuseC．wait D．hope答案：A bear用作动词，当“忍受”讲。
此处流浪汉不忍心看到东西被扔掉。
此处如果用不能“拒绝”、不能“希望”或“迫不及待(can't wait to do)”都不符合题意。
32．A.how B．whenC．what D．there答案：C此处what引导表语从句，本身在从句中作宾语。
其他三项从语法的角度都可排除。
33．A.angrily B．patientlyC．carefully D．curiously答案：D此处Robby又向卖热狗的摊子走去，作者不理解，因此是“好奇地”注视着。
“生气地”；“耐心地”；“细心地”；都不符合题意。
34．A.waiting B．hungryC．angry D．lonely答案：B流浪汉一直注视着我们吃东西，说明他很“饿”。
35．A.pleasure B．friendshipC．favor D．kindness答案：D kindness“善良；善意”是本文的关键词和中心词。
从前文小贩不收我们的热狗钱，以及前面的动词短语pass on可排除其他选项。
Ⅲ.阅读理解(每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下面的文章，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
AA few years ago, a pilot had to have perfect eyesight, a college degree if he or she wanted to land a job with an American airline. But today, airlines have quitted those requirements because they can't find enough qualified pilots.Airlines must hire up to 62 000 new pilots in the next decades. But qualified pilots are few and far between in the United States. Every year there are more planes being flown. At the same time, 12 to 15 foreign countries are recruiting (招募) American pilots.As a result, pilots are earning attracting salaries. The going rate for skilled pilots is well over$90 000 a year. Some pilots can earn about$160 000 plus free housing working for foreign airlines.Because of the shortage, some people say unqualified pilots are being allowed to fly planes. They fear the number of crashes will go up quickly. Each year, more and more pilots are being allowed to fly planes. Each year, more and more pilots with less than 2 000 hours of experience are being hired. Airlines are also bringing on board many more pilots who are older than 50, although law requires pilots to retire at 60.Being an airline pilot is a difficult job that requires people to make life and death decisions under pressure. Some pilots crack under the pressure.The military is also having a hard time keeping pilots. Air Force pilots must commit to spending at least six years in the Air Force. The Air Force invests millions of dollars to train each pilot, so it doesn't want to lose them.Experts say this problem is going to get a lot worse. Congress may establish a commission (a research group) to study the country's pilot needs. In the meantime, salaries of pilots will continue to rise and the number of crashes may keep pace.36．From the passage, we can infer ________.A．a shortage of pilots is caused by airlines and the military.B．there have been more crashes because pilots have higher salaries.C．a shortage of pilots may lead to more crashes.D．airlines should hire more pilots even if they are unqualified.答案：C推测题。
