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.

fat C、 defeat D、pleaseIII 阅读理解AEvery kid wishes to be an adult、 But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind、 They become "kidults” (kid+adult)、 Being a kidult has become a lifestyle—choice among young people across Asia、Some kidults collect toys they once played with、 Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world、 It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory、Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales、For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover、 That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book!”Kidults can be like vitamins to society、 Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学)、 He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids、 It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together、 He may be right、Tim Greenhalgh,a professor,explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up、They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them、Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood、56、 We can infer from the article that _________、A、 Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can’t give up their toysB、 Bloomsbury knows some kidults don’t want people to know that they are kidultsC、 Kidults like to have vitamins very muchD、 Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much57、 According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _______、A、 it can improve the relationship between parents and their kidsB、 it can help kidults feel relaxedC、 it is helpful to solve some social problemsD、 it can make people loyal to one's parents58、 According to the writer, _______、A、 being a kidult is nothing wrongB、 kidults have mental problemsC、 our society is very dullD、 some people can never grow upBIf women are mercilessly exploited(剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame、 Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores、 Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion、Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste、 Many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn、 Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned dresses、 Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on、No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society、 Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用)、 They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort,as long as they look right、 There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes、When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious、 Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers、 Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability(稳定耐用)? That is for you to decide、59、 Designers and big stores always make money_________、A、 by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB、 because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC、 by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothingD、 because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing60、 To the writer, the fact that women change their old—fashioned dresses is seen as ___________、A、 a waste of moneyB、 a waste of timeC、 an expression of tasteD、 an expression of creativity61、 New fashions in clothing are created for ___________、A、 the commercial exploitation of womenB、 the women's strength of characterC、 basic qualities of inconstancy and instabilityD、 an important contribution to society62、 By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" ( Line One to Line Two,Paragraph Four), the writer means that ___________、A、 women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB、 women are better able to put up with discomfortC、 men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD、 men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionCWhile football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased、For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy、 The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field、 The world football organization, FIFA,has shown interest in the technology、 It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany、”We’ve been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under—17 FIFA Cup in Peru,” said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company、”The technology has performed well, and we’re pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year、"The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football、 It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field、 The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored、 The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air、 Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive、 Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports、FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year’s World Cup、63、 Carlos Technologies is pleased because ________、A、 football fans are angry with refereesB、 their new product can satisfy football fansC、 their new product will have a good marketD、 they can sell a lot of football in the future64、 In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,”、、、 mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy” means ___________、A、 Carlos Technologies can’t afford the high price for advertising their productB、 Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisementC、 Carios Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their productD、 Referees' mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies’new product65、 The underlined word "feedback” probably means ___________、A、 information given back by a userB、 advice given by someoneC、 supplying food to customersD、 food given back by consumers66、 The new product has drawn attention from some _________、A、 famous peopleB、 refereesC、 big companiesD、 countriesDLondon—-A morning train rides away, across the channel、 English kids discuss theLiverpool's football team in a Paris pub、Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London、In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris,in A Tale of Two Cities、 These days, it might be A tale of One City、As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel、 With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours、 The European Union freed them from immigration and customs、Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish、 But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down、”For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler,a financial expert、Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees、”I am French, but I'll stay in London,’' she said、There is, of course, the other view、 Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago、”I think people laugh more in Paris," she said、”Both cities have changed beyond recognition," said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner、Like most people who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably、"I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s、 Things are so much more ordered, and life is better、”But certainly not cheaper、In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris、Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice、Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose、”I love Paris, my little neighbourhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized , ”she said、 "In London, you can be whoever you want、 No one cares、"67、 It can be inferred that ___________、A、 Paris and London are the two biggest cities in the worldB、 in the 19th century, Dickens told his stories in the two citiesC、 London and Paris used to be separatedD、 Liverpool is a big city in France68、 According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?A、 People feel it difficult to find a job in Paris、B、 People can't travel to London without a passport、C、 People can travel to London without a passport、D、 People can find any job in London、69、 According to this passage we know that _________、A、 Parisians enjoy English food more than their ownB、 Londoners seldom travel to Paris on holidaysC、 both cities have their advantagesD、 young people prefer to live in London70、 Which city is better to live in according to the passage?A、 Paris、B、 London、C、 Both cities、D、 It just depends、71、 What’s the meaning of the last sentence?A、 People can do everything in London、B、 People will feel lonely in London、C、 People in London enjoy living in different ways、D、 People in London enjoy a lawless life、ENow let’s look ourselves as a species in relation to ecosystem balance、Modern scientists believe that humankind, like other animals, evolved(进化)through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate(monkey, ape) group、 Despite this similarity with other creatures, however,the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way、In other species, evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure、 For example, the giraffe is much adapted to feeding on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs、 Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground、 Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals、 The same is true for countless other species、For humankind it is opposite、 Our evolution had led to a very generalized ability、Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything、 Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space、 No natural competitor offers great resistance, and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled、Said another way, we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance、 The result is the rapidly increasing world population, frequently referred to as the population explosion、 Further, to support our growing population, natural ecosystems are being increasingly displaced by human habitations, agriculture, and other human supporting activities、72、 From the passage we can infer that in the course of evolution _________、A、 humankind is very important to earlier species, such as the primate groupB、 human beings are limited by the environment while animals are notC、 human beings become more and more different from each otherD、 humankind has experienced a generalization rather than specialization in ability73、 According to the passage, primate includes such animals as ________、A、 monkeys and anteatersB、 tigers and apesC、 apes and monkeysD、 monkeys and giraffes74、 According to the passage, evolution has made it possible for humans to _______、A、 increase the populationB、 resist natural offersC、 go to the moonD、 cure all diseases75、 According to the author, imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance has resulted in ________、A、 the population explosionB、 the destruction of human habitationsC、 the growth of natural ecosystemD、 the specialization of humansIV 短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

Three years ago, few people would go swimming in the icy waters. But now there is a Winter-swimming Enthusiasts’ Club(冬泳爱好者协会)and it has more than 2,000 members. The oldest is 84 years old and the youngest is only 7. The members are from all walks of life. They may be workers, peasants, soldiers, teachers, students…Though it is now the coldest part of the season and the water t emperature in the city’s lakes is around 0℃, many winter-swimmers still swim in the icy waters, even when it is snowing. They enjoy themselves in the lake, while the people by the side of the lake are wearing heavy clothes.Why are so many people interested in winter-swimming? Because winter-swimming can be good for one’s health.Bei Sha is a good example. He is 69, and he once suffered from heart trouble for 26 years. After ten years of winter-swimming he is now in good health. Scientists are now studying the effects of winter-swimming on health.31.

Winter-swimmers Are Brave MenBRecently Dr. Cleiman has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that you are “hot”. That is true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (top).For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habits can help Dr. Cleiman believe.If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day, rise before your usual hour, and then you will work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a lazy yawn(呵欠) and stretch (伸腰). Sit on the edge of bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.36. Dr. Cleiman didn’t explain in the passage__________.A. how people can make their life fit their cycleB. whether everyone has a daily cycle or notC. why people have their energy cycle of body at different timesD. what will happen in the family if the couple fail to realize which cycle each member has37.For what reason may husbands and wives quarrel with each other?A .Either of them gets up late in the morningB.

一、阅读理解(共8小题,每小题2分,共16分)AThink about the longest elevator ride that you’ve ever taken. Whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and higher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. You’ll be in space!Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but they’re something scientists have been working on for decades.Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, riding in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive — about $25 million per person per flight.Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. One idea is stretching a very long cable — more than 37,000 kilometers — up to space from the earth’s equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equator orbit the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weight on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it. One way to solve this problem is to stretchthe cable from the moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting therewould then take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, theelevator could transport people and materials without much expense or effort per ride.So, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? Probably not for awhile.1. The first paragraph is presented by________. A. giving an example B. making a comparison C. asking questions D. analyzing causes2. Why have scientists been working on space elevators? A. To make trips to space cheaper. B. To help astronauts do research in space. C. To find a more convenient way to the moon. D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy.3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. the cable B. the equator C. an object in spaceD. a weight on the end of the cable此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号4. Which part of a magazine may the article appear in?A. Science and technology.B. Sports.C. Literature.D. Entertainment.BWithin five years, a woolly mammoth (猛犸象)will likely be cloned, according to scientists who have just recovered well-preserved bone marrow (骨髓) in a mammoth bone.Russian scientist Siemyon Grigoriev and his colleagues are now analyzing the marrow, which they obtained from the mammoth, found in Siberian soil. Grigoriev and his team, along with colleagues from Japan, have announced that they will start a joint research project aimed at recreating the enormous mammal, which went extinct around 10,000 years ago. Mammoths used to be a common sight in North America and Eurasia. Many of our distant ancestors probably had regular face-to-face encounters with the elephant-like giants.The key to cloning the woolly mammoth is to replace the nuclei of egg cells from an elephant with those extracted from the mammoth’s cells. Doing this, according to the researchers, can result in embryos with the mammoth’s DNA. That has actually been known for a while.What have been missing are the woolly mammoth’s nuclei with undam aged genes. Scientists have been on a search for such nuclei since the late 1990s. Now it sounds like the missing genes may have been found.In the course, global warming may be responsible for the breakthrough. Warmer temperatures tied to global warming have melted ground in eastern Russia that is almost always permanently frozen. As a result, researchers have found a fair number of well-preserved frozen mammoths there, including the one that produced the bone marrow.Is it such a good idea, however, to clone animals that have long been extinct? For a while there has been some discussion of a real-life Jurassic Park setup containing such animals. Introducing these beasts into existing ecosystems could be like bringing in a potentially invasive species that would try to fill some space presently held by other animals. Even if the cloned animals were contained in special parks, there could still be a risk of spreading.So if the woolly mammoth is successfully cloned sooner rather than later, we’d probably be left with more questions and arguments than answers, at least in the short term.5. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How to clone a woolly mammothB. The woolly mammoth — an ancient speciesC. The research made by Russian and Japanese scientistsD. A woolly mammoth to be cloned6. Which of the following can be the key factor in cloning a mammoth?A. To find a living mammoth in North America or Eurasia.B. To use nuclei from a mammoth’s egg cells to replace the nuclei in an elephant’s egg cells.C. To find out when and where woolly mammoths lived on the earth.D. To find out if an cient mammoths are distant ancestors of today’s elephants.7. Which of the following best describes the writer’s attitude towards the future of cloning a mammoth?A. Uncertain.B. Indifferent.C. Positive.D. Disappointed.8. From the passage, we can learn that ________.A. some other extinct species have been cloned successfullyB. the mammoth used to be a very common speciesC. the clone of mammoths should be banned by lawD. a woolly mammoth will be successfully cloned this year二、语法填空(共10小题,每小题1.5分,共15分)Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making ____1____ exact copy of another animal or plant. Cloning plants is straightforward while cloning animals is very complicated. The process of cloning is a difficult task ____2____(undertake). Many attempts to clone mammals failed. But finally the determination and patience of the scientists paid ____3____ in 1996 with a breakthrough-the cloning of Dolly the sheep.At first the fact ____4____ she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging. Then came the ____5____(disturb) news that Dolly had become seriously ill, which made cloning scientists cast down. Meanwhile, Dolly’s appearance raised a storm of ____6____(object) and had a great impact on the media and public imagination. ____7____(apparent) it became controversial. Although at present human egg cells and embryos ____8____(need)for cloning research are hard to obtain, newspapers wrote of evil leaders ____9____(hope) to clone themselves to attain their ambitions. Religious leaders also raised moral questions. Some countries reformed their legal systems and ____10____(forbid) research into human cloning, but others like China and the UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide.三、短文改错(共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文, 请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

Unit 3 Diverse Cultures 单元测试一、阅读第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

AChina has more than 30 intangible cultural heritage recognized by the UNESCO, including paper­cutting, the Dragon Boat Festival, Peking Opera, acupuncture(针灸) and so on. The organization adopted a decision that China's “The Twenty­Four Solar Terms(二十四节气)” should be put on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016 in Ethiopia.The Twenty­Four Solar Terms, knowledge of time and practices in agriculture, starts from the Beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It developed through the observation of the sun's annual movement in China. In ancient time, the method of tugui, earth sundial(日晷), was used to measure the shadow of the sun for determining the solar terms.The Twenty­Four Solar Terms came into being and developed in close relationship with Chinese agricultural production. At the initial stage of agricultural development, people began to explore the seasonal rules in the agricultural production to meet the needs in seeding, harvesting and other activities. Gradually, they formed the concept of “seed in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn and store in winter”. During the spring and autumn periods, the agricultural production was highly influenced by the seasonal changes, thus forming the concept of Solar Terms.As a traditional Chinese knowledge system of time with a history of thousands of years, the Twenty­Four Solar Terms clearly expresses the concepts of respect for nature, and harmony between man and nature. Created by Chinese ancestors, it has functioned as a complete set of weather calendar(日历)to guide the agricultural production in China. It has also been introduced into North Korea, Japan and other neighboring countries and still used in Japan. The Chinese heritage has provably influenced the people's way of thinking and behaving and will continue to be an important carrier of Chinese cultural identity.1. According to the first two paragraphs, the Twenty­Four Solar Terms________.A. was used to measure the shadow of the sunB. has not been listed as one intangible cultural heritage of humanityC. is the best intangible cultural heritage recognized by the UNESCOD. repeats from the Beginning of Spring to the Greater Cold every year2. We can learn from the text that ________ in China in the past.A. the Twenty­Four Solar Terms only influenced spring and autumnB. agricultural production highly influenced the seasonal changesC. people cared about the changes of weather just for funD. the Twenty­Four Solar Terms had something to do with agriculture3. We can infer from the text that the Twenty­Four Solar Terms________.A. is part of traditional Chinese cultureB. is strongly influenced by North Korea and JapanC. is hard to explainD. is an agricultural calendar merely used in ChinaBIndia has a very vast history and heritage(遗产). The country has witnessed some of the most important eventsin the past and every event has an effect of its own on the culture, religion, lifestyle, and economy of the country. This is one of the leading reasons why tourists prefer India to travel and explore. Historical tours in India provide everything that a traveller expects from his/her journey. These historical tours give an opportunity to study and explore Indian history.Here are some of the historical travel packages:Forts(堡垒) and palacesThe rich cultural past of India is showed in the countless forts and palaces across the country. Most of the forts were constructed to keep the enemy away and palaces were made on the names of the kings and queens. Some of the famous forts and palaces are: Agra Fort (Agra), Fatehpur Sikri (Agra), Hawa Mahal (Jaipur), Amber Fort (Jaipur), City Palace (Jaipur), Gwalior Fort (Gwalior), Mysore Palace (Mysore), Red Fort (Delhi), etc.India heritage toursThe main purpose of India heritage tours is to make Indians as well as tourists familiar with the rich Indian heritage. The heritage of the country is at least 5,000 years. Some of the heritage tours are: medieval heritage, Rajput heritage, Golden Triangle, splendid Gujarat, etc.South India historical toursSouth India is known for its diversity and there are many places, which attract tourists, not only from the country but also from all around the world. The famous tourist destinations in South India include Goa, Cochin, Kerala, Munnar, Periyar, Kottayam and the list goes on and on.4. What is the main purpose of this passage?A.

Cooksey had left the engine running and the door unlocked.“When I saw my truck door open, I was like, ‘Oh my God, what am I going to tell my wife?’” Cooksey said.His son, Larry, was sitting in the back seat. “As soon as he opened the door, I got frightened,” said Larry. “So I pulled out the gun and pointed it to his head.”This was enough to make the carjacker think twice and he jumped out of the truck to try another car. Parked beside Cooksey's truck was Kyle Sparling's black Trailblazer. He also had left the engine running as he went into the store. The man got in Sparling's SUV and took off.“I didn't know what to think. I just kind of ran outside and watched him,” said Sparling.As the man sped off, Cooksey told Sparling to get into his truck and the two men began to run after him. The icy winter conditions made the driving difficult, but the pair followed at a safe distance as the carjacker drove in a “Z” way. After a few miles, the carjacker knocked into the sign of a local business, American Tool and Party Rental. Cooksey and Sparling called police to the place.The police put 32­year­old Ollie Dunn into prison. Sparling's car was damaged in the wheel, and the windscreen got cracked after the sign fell on it. “I was just glad he didn't knock into anybody,” Sparling said. “That was my biggest fear, I think.”8.

Cooksey and Sparling caught up with him.11. What does the underlined word “That” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Spraling's car was stolen.B. Sparling's car was damaged.C. The carjacker might run away.D. The carjacker might hurt somebody.DDuring the mid­1960s, Vinh Linh, Quang Tri in Vietnam was a wasteland, which was often under attack from the US air force. Vietnamese soldiers who were fighting against the US discussed how to make people there safe. Some suggested moving the people underground. Then they began to build a tunnel(隧道).The Vinh Moc tunnel was built for the people of Son Trung and Son Ha in Vinh Linh county of Quang Tri Province. It was built in several stages, beginning in 1966and was in use until 1971. It grew to include wells, kitchens, rooms for each family and hospitals. Around 60 families lived in the tunnel.Deep under the ground, hidden from soldiers, people lived in the tunnel for many years. They survived. The tunnel was a success and no villagers lost their lives thanks to it.During that time, 17children were born in the tunnel, each of whose lives was a proof that the tunnel was effective in protecting the villagers. As time goes by, it has become both a historical site and a tourist attraction forpeople wishing to learn about a heroic period in Vietnam's history.The total length of the tunnel network is nearly 2km, and has three floors. It was built over two years. The two sides have small houses every 3m. The tunnel center has a 150­seat hall, a hospital and maternity rooms(产房). It is linked to the sea by seven exits, which also function as ventilators(通风设备), and to a nearby hill by another six.People wanting to know about the Vietnam War should have some knowledge of the tunnel network in Quang Tri. The tunnel network shows the wisdom and bravery of the local people in their fight for their identity.Ten years after the war ended, the Vinh Moc tunnel was opened to tourists. These days, the government is working to protect the historical relic.12. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.

高二英语选修八_Unit3_单元测试卷(名师)

Unit3 单元测试卷(名师)Book 8 Unit 3 单元测试题一、阅读理解ADo you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? Can you? If so, you could be the next great inventor. “But I'm just a kid”, you might be! Don't worry about a little thing like age. For example, one famous inventor-Benjamin Franklin-got his start when he was only 12.At that young age, he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster. Finally, his creation led to what we know is called flippers!So, you don't have to be adult to be an inventor. One thing you do need, though, is something that kids have plenty of: curiosity and imagination. Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways.So, what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Get input from others about your idea. Then ask them to help you create a working model-called a prototype(原型) of your idea.Once you have a prototype, you can test it. Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought. At other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.If your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it. You will also want an adult's help to get a patent for your idea, so that it is protected and can't be stolen by someone else. If you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions:Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11. It's a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink. Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.At the age of 15, Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “pocket diaper(尿布)”, a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder. 1.By saying “But I'm just a kid”,you probably mean you .A.are too young to achieve anythingB.can do anything though you are youngC.are old enough to become an inventorD.have to learn knowledge from other people2. Kids are most likely to be inventors probably because they .A.would like to make friends with othersB.usually work hard at their lessons at schoolC.like playing all kinds of toys at homeD.think about things in quite different ways3.Who invented something that helps the blind to read?A.Jeannie Low.B.Benjamin Franklin.C.Chelsea Lanmon. D.Louis Braille.4. Which of the following can be the main idea of this passage?A.Kids have curiosity and imagination.B.There are some world-famous inventors.C.Kids are exactly like adults in a way.D.It is possible for kids to be inventors.BA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested onhumans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.5.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later6.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It's been tested on mice for ten times.B. It can make people more energetic.C. It exists in milk in great amount.D. It's used in sleeping drugs.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat, Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health8.How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing research results.二、语法填空When I called 1. my mother, she told me snakes came near the house now and then. Here was a chance for me to distinguish myself by inventing somethingmerciful 2. would catch snakes.I tried to find some 3. (produce) that might help me, but there only seemed to be powders 4. (design) to kill snakes. I set about 5. (research) the habits of 6. (they).Prepared with some research findings, I decided on three possible approaches.

A★★☆☆☆At the age of 16, Julia Butterfly Hill quit school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money and material things. Then one day she had a serious car accident, which changed her life. Hill said: “I realized I wanted to find a more powerful purpose for being here on this planet.”As soon as she recovered, Hill traveled to California. There she saw ancient redwood trees, which are the largest trees in the whole world. The wood from redwood trunks is very hard. So the Pacific Lumber Company cut down many of the huge redwoods to use for construction. There are not many forests of these trees left.Many environmental activists want to protect the remaining trees. The redwoods are very important to the environment.In 1997 Hill learned a group called Earth First was working to protect a particular group of trees. They decided to send someone up into a redwood tree, hoping this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia Butterfly Hill volunteered.Hill lived in the tree for over two years without ever coming down. Her home was a 6-by-8-foot tree house, 180 feet up. It is always cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Hill was in the tree. The wind and cold almost knocked Hill out of the tree. But she did not fall — she survived.Finally, after years of arguing, the company decided to protect Luna, the tree Hill lived in. They signed an agreement to never cut down this huge redwood tree or the trees around it. When Hill put her feet on the earth again, she began to cry. But from that moment on Hill hasn’t stopped working to protect t he environment.21. Julia Butterfly Hill traveled to California _____.A. to find a new jobB. to build a tree houseC. with the hope of joining Earth FirstD. in expectation of doing something meaningful22. The redwood trees were cut down mainly _____.A. because they might fall over at any timeB. because they had great economic valueC. to protect other trees in the forestD. to make space for constructions23. Julia Butterfly Hill’s living conditions in the tree were _____.A. comfortableB. coolC. toughD. satisfying24. What can we learn about Julia Butterfly Hill from the text?A. She has a sense of social responsibility.B. She failed to protect the redwood tree.C. She built a new house in the forest.D. She is a self-centered woman.B★★★☆☆There are a lot of products out there that make your life easier. Some, however, are a little sillier than others — so much that they seem like joke products. Here are a few products that sound crazy, but actually rule.Sleep PhonesIt’s hard to imagine something sillier than a music-playing headband you wear while you sleep, but they exist —and are quite popular. Sleep Phones won’t give you the highest quality sound in the world, but if you prefer to fall asleep to music, they’refar more comfortable than normal headphones. While they’re a bit expensive, they might be perfect for you. T here’s also a wireless version (版本) if you prefer.Onion GogglesIf cutting onion brings on the waterworks no matter what you try, i t’s time for desperate measures. We tested a bunch of methods for avoiding onion tears, and found the best solutions came down to cutting the onion under a vent (通风孔), or wearing these stylish and awesome goggles.Lock LacesThere’re some great ways to tie your shoes better, but if you long for the laceless shoes of your childhood days, Lock Laces are a pretty good choice. They’re basi callyelastic (有弹性的) laces that remove the need to tie your shoes. Sure, people will make fun of you, but you can make fun of them after they trip over their own untied laces. Or you can make your own slip-on shoes with elastic tubing.2D-GlassesHate 3D-movies, but have to go to one? The difference between 2D-glasses and 3D-glasses lies in their lenses (镜片). Each lens of 2D-glasses blocks the same picture, so each eye gets the same picture, while each lens of 3D-glasses blocks a different picture, so each eye gets a different picture which the brain interprets as 3D. Now you have a pair of glasses that can save you from the headache caused by wearing3D-glasses which are popular in our movie theaters. You can buy them or make a pair for yourself.25. What do we know about Sleep Phones?A. There are two versions.B. They’re comfortable but unhealthy.C. They give you the best quality sound.D. They’re cheaper than other headphones.26. The underlined part “brings on the waterworks” in the text probably means _____.A. makes your eyes waterB. makes your fingers hurtC. destroys your water pipesD. adds to your washing work27. What is the advantage of Lock Laces?A. They are strong and lasting.B. They help you walk comfortably.C. They are stylish and eco-friendly.D. They save you from tying your shoes.28. Compared with 3D-glasses, 2D-glasses _____.A. are cheaper and thinnerB. won’t give you a headacheC. let you see a different pictureD. are more popular in movie theatersC★★★★☆A team led by a nurseryman (花圃工人) and his sons has raced against time for20 years, using branches from some of the world’s biggest and most long-lasting trees to produce clones that could restore ancient forests and help fight climate change.Now comes the most ambitious step of the project: getting the new trees into the ground. Plantings of two dozen clones from California’s huge coastal redwoods will take place Monday in seven nations: Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Germany and the U.S.The lab-produced trees are genetic copies of three huge trees that were cut down in northern California more than a century ago. Remarkably, new branches still grow from the stumps (树桩), including one known as the Fieldbrook Stump, which measures 35 feet in diameter (直径). It’s believed to be about 4,000 years old.“We need to reforest the planet. To do that, it just makes sense to use the largest, oldest trees that ever lived,” said David Milarch, co-founder of the non-profit Archangel Ancient Tree Archive.Milarch and his sons Jared and Jake, who have a family-owned nursery, became concerned about the condition of the world’s forests in the 1990s. They began traveling across the U.S. in search of “champion” trees that have lived hundreds or even thousands of years, believing that better genes make it possible for them to outlive others of their species. Scientific opinion varies on whether that’s true, with skeptics saying the survivors may simply have been lucky.The Archangel team says the y’ve developed several methods of producing genetic copies. They focus on towering sequoias and redwoods, considering them best suited to absorb great amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas primarily responsible for climate change.The challenge is to find places to put the trees, people to look after them and money to continue the project, Jared Milarch said. The group is funded through donations and doesn’t charge for its clones.“A lot of trees will be planted by a lot of grou ps on Arbor Day, but 90 percent of them will die,” David Milarch said. “You can’t plant trees and walk away and expect them to take care of themselves.” Those receiving Archangel redwoods have promised to care for them properly.29. According to the text, the clones _____.A. are rather expensiveB. are based on dead ancient treesC. have been experimented for 20 yearsD. have been widely grown across the U.S.30. To reforest the planet, David Milarch chooses the largest, oldest trees because _____.A. they are lucky treesB. they have better genesC. they are easier to plantD. they look more beautiful31. David Milarch’s team believes that genetic copies from sequoias and redwoods _____.A. can take in more greenhouse gasesB. are hard to survive for a long timeC. are likely to cause climate changeD. may be a threat to existing plants32. What is stressed by David Milarch in the last paragraph?A. The need of financial support.B. The difficulty of finding places.C. The importance of caring for trees.D. The challenge of running his group.D★★★★☆During the Middle Ages, most things that people did not understand were explained through religion. The Catholic Church sought to silence those who tried to understand and explain the world in natural terms, and banned dissection (解剖) of humans.Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first people of the Renaissance to use the modern scientific method. He carefully observed nature, conducted experiments, and arrived at conclusions. His research unavoidably brought him into conflict with the Church.Leonardo spent his life studying the world around him and filled many notebooks with drawings and ideas inspired by nature. He studied human anatomy (人体解剖学) by dissecting dead bodies, made detailed notes, and drew large numbers of pictures to explain.He studied the flight and anatomy of birds in order to design a flying machine. He was not successful, although he tried out several strange-looking machines.As a scientist, Leonardo made great contributions in the fields of anatomy, botany (植物学) and physics. Leonardo was the first person to note that the number of rings of a tree was the same as its age. He was also the first person to describe the arrangement of leaves in plants and draw parts of the body in cross-section.Leonardo was also a great inventor. He did not seek simply to better understand the world. He wanted to change it through the invention of new and useful machines. His curiosity took him in many directions.Although some of his inventions, like the extendable ladder (伸缩梯), were practical in his time, others, such as the helicopter (直升飞机), would only be useful hundreds of years later. They required new technologies.Leonardo lived hundreds of years before many of his ideas were fully put to use. He was both a man of his time and a man of the future. From flight to deep sea exploration, much in our modern world was first visualized by Leonardo.33. Leonardo dissected dead human bodies _____.A. for pleasureB. for scientific researchC. to show his anger to the ChurchD. to teach others about human anatomy34. Why was Leonardo “a man of the future”?A. He pictured many modern inventions.B. His ideas were totally realized in his time.C. His inventions influenced later generations.D. He was the founder of modern technologies.35. We can infer from the text that Leonardo _____.A. sent his helicopter into the airB. was fond of collecting notebooksC. was the first person to study the worldD. helped develop science and technology第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become alifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.Tim Greenhalgh,a professor,explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.56. We can infer from the article that _________.A. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toysB. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidultsC. Kidults like to have vitamins very muchD. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much57. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _______.A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kidsB. it can help kidults feel relaxedC. it is helpful to solve some social problemsD. it can make people loyal to one's parents58. According to the writer, _______.A. being a kidult is nothing wrongB. kidults have mental problemsC. our society is very dullD. some people can never grow upBIf women are mercilessly exploited(剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned dresses. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability(稳定耐用)? That is for you to decide.59. Designers and big stores always make money_________.A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB. because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC. by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothingD. because they attach great importance to quality in women's clothing60. To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as ___________.A. a waste of moneyB. a waste of timeC. an expression of tasteD. an expression of creativity61. New fashions in clothing are created for ___________.A. the commercial exploitation of womenB. the women's strength of characterC. basic qualities of inconstancy and instabilityD. an important contribution to society62. By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" ( Line One to Line Two, Paragraph Four), the writer means that ___________.A. women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB. women are better able to put up with discomfortC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionCWhile football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany."We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.63. Carlos Technologies is pleased because ________.A. football fans are angry with refereesB. their new product can satisfy football fansC. their new product will have a good marketD. they can sell a lot of football in the future64. In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,"... mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy" means ___________.A. Carlos Technologies can't afford the high price for advertising their productB. Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisementC. Carios Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their productD. Referees' mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies' new product65. The underlined word "feedback" probably means ___________.A. information given back by a userB. advice given by someoneC. supplying food to customersD. food given back by consumers66. The new product has drawn attention from some _________.A. famous peopleB. refereesC. big companiesD. countriesDLondon--A morning train rides away, across the channel. English kids discuss the Liverpool's football team in a Paris pub.Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London.In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City.As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down."For me, the difference is that London is real, alive," said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert. Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. "I am French, but I'll stay in London,'' she said. There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. "I think people laugh more in Paris," she said."Both cities have changed beyond recognition," said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner.Like most people who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably."I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better." But certainly not cheaper.In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose."I love Paris, my little neighbourhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is tooorganized , "she said. "In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares."67. It can be inferred that ___________.A. Paris and London are the two biggest cities in the worldB. in the 19th century, Dickens told his stories in the two citiesC. London and Paris used to be separatedD. Liverpool is a big city in France68. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. People feel it difficult to find a job in Paris.B. People can't travel to London without a passport.C. People can travel to London without a passport.D. People can find any job in London.69. According to this passage we know that _________.A. Parisians enjoy English food more than their ownB. Londoners seldom travel to Paris on holidaysC. both cities have their advantagesD. young people prefer to live in London70. Which city is better to live in according to the passage?A. Paris.B. London.C. Both cities.D. It just depends.71. What's the meaning of the last sentence?A. People can do everything in London.B. People will feel lonely in London.C. People in London enjoy living in different ways.D. People in London enjoy a lawless life.ENow let's look ourselves as a species in relation to ecosystem balance.Modern scientists believe that humankind, like other animals, evolved(进化) through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate(monkey, ape) group. Despite this similarity with other creatures, however, the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way.In other species, evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure. For example, the giraffe is much adapted to feeding on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs. Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground. Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals. The same is true for countless other species.For humankind it is opposite. Our evolution had led to a very generalized ability. Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything. Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space. No natural competitor offers great resistance, and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled.Said another way, we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance. The result is the rapidly increasing world population, frequently referredto as the population explosion. Further, to support our growing population, natural ecosystems are being increasingly displaced by human habitations, agriculture, and other human supporting activities.72. From the passage we can infer that in the course of evolution _________.A. humankind is very important to earlier species, such as the primate groupB. human beings are limited by the environment while animals are notC. human beings become more and more different from each otherD. humankind has experienced a generalization rather than specialization in ability73. According to the passage, primate includes such animals as ________.A. monkeys and anteatersB. tigers and apesC. apes and monkeysD. monkeys and giraffes74. According to the passage, evolution has made it possible for humans to _______.A. increase the populationB. resist natural offersC. go to the moonD. cure all diseases75. According to the author, imbalance between biological potential and environ mental resistance has resulted in ________.A. the population explosionB. the destruction of human habitationsC. the growth of natural ecosystemD. the specialization of humansIV 短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany."We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.63.

English kids discuss the Liverpool's football team in a Paris pub.Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London.In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City.As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs. Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down."For me, the difference is that London is real, alive," said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert.Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. "I am French, but I'll stay in London,'' she said.There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. "I think people laugh more in Paris," she said."Both cities have changed beyond recognition," said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner.Like most people who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably."I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better."But certainly not cheaper.In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose."I love Paris, my little neighbourhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized , "she said. "In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares."67. It can be inferred that ___________.A.

People in London enjoy a lawless life.ENow let's look ourselves as a species in relation to ecosystem balance.Modern scientists believe that humankind, like other animals, evolved(进化) through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate(monkey, ape) group. Despite this similarity with other creatures, however, the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way. In other species, evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure. For example, the giraffe is much adapted to feeding on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs. Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground. Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals. The same is true for countless other species. For humankind it is opposite. Our evolution had led to a very generalized ability. Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything. Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space. No natural competitor offers great resistance, and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled. Said another way, we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance. The result is the rapidly increasing world population, frequently referred to as the population explosion. Further, to support our growing population, natural ecosystems are being increasingly displaced by human habitations, agriculture, and other human supporting activities.72. From the passage we can infer that in the course of evolution _________.A. humankind is very important to earlier species, such as the primate groupB. human beings are limited by the environment while animals are notC. human beings become more and more different from each otherD. humankind has experienced a generalization rather than specialization in ability73. According to the passage, primate includes such animals as ________.A. monkeys and anteatersB. tigers and apesC. apes and monkeysD. monkeys and giraffes74. According to the passage, evolution has made it possible for humans to _______.A. increase the populationB. resist natural offersC. go to the moonD. cure all diseases75. According to the author, imbalance between biological potential and environ mental resistance has resulted in ________.A. the population explosionB. the destruction of human habitationsC. the growth of natural ecosystemD. the specialization of humansIV 短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。
