Scientists predict that Earth will continue to warm by about 2-6°F over the next 100 years. That may not sound like much, but think about this: During the last Ice Age, Earth was only 9°F cooler than it is today, and large sheets of ice called glaciers（冰河）covered large parts of North America! The warming of Earth's climate is called global warming.Scientists are not sure of what causes climate change. Earth could be warming on its own, however, most scientists believe that human activity is speeding up the climate change. Earth warms itself through a process called the greenhouse（温室）effect. When sunlight enters Earth's atmosphere（大气）, it passes through a layer of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases occur naturally, but humans also create them by burning fossil fuels. When sunlight hits Earth's surface it bounces back toward the sky. The greenhouse gases trap some of the sunlight on Earth and allow the rest to go back into space, making Earth's temperature warm. The process works much in the same way as a greenhouse, hence its name. If there are too many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, too much sunlight may be trapped（截留）, making Earth warmer.Scientists cannot predict exactly what will happen as Earth's temperature rises. They believe a rapid climate change could upset the balance of the ecosystem（生态系统）, causing some land and marine（海产的） life to become extinct. As temperatures rise, the world's glaciers will melt （融化）into the ocean, causing sea levels to rise between several inches to three feet during the next 100 years. Higher sea levels could cause flooding of coastal lands. Warmer ocean water could cause increased storm activity on the coasts while areas away from the coasts may experience droughts. These are just a few of the possible effects of global warming.36.The best title for this text would be______.A. ClimateB. Climate changeC. Global warmingD. Greenhouse effect37. Humans create greenhouse gases every time except we _______.A. play video gamesB. use a hair dryerC. ride in a carD. use solar energy lights38. Which of the following is not the effect of climate change?A. Rising temperature.B. The extinction of some wildlife.C. Sea level rising.D. Flooding of coastal lands.39. The writer's purpose in writing the text is to _______.A. show us the temperature risingB. tell us what greenhouse effects areC. call us to protect the earthD. teach us a factB★★Steve Sloan is the physical education teacher at Public School 102 in East Harlem, New York. He's a 50-year old man with a bald head and bulging muscles. He can hit three-pointers and even half court shots, but the amazing thing is that he can't see them go in.Steve Sloan has been blind since birth. But the fact he can't see has never stopped Sloan, who works out seven days a week.Sloan has been working at P.S. 102 for 21 years. He is making his first trip abroad this month to Torino, Italy, to carry the Olympic torch. "This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I will cherish forever," he says.The Olympic torch（火炬）took off on its 7,021.5-mile trip through 140 Italian cities on December 8. It will reach the site of the 2006 Winter Olympics during the opening ceremonies on February 10. More than 10,000 people who represent Olympic values will take part in the torch run.Sloan in many way matches the profile of an Olympic athlete, who displays the values of unity and peace among peoples, loyalty, courage, humanity, and solidarity. His values are reflected in his close relationships with his students.Sloan has nicknames（绰号） for every kid. Some of them include Hot Sauce, Beetles, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Biscuit, and WNBA. He is strict if you aren't wearing sneakers（运动鞋） and sweat pants or shorts, you aren't allowed to participate in gym-but to the students it just shows how much he cares about them."He makes coming to gym so much fun," said Christina (Hot Sauce) Perez.One amazing fact about Sloan is that he can guide you around the school without his walking stick. He knows every hallway, door, and floor in the five-story school by heart. He takes the subway train to work every day. If there is an emergency in the school, Lorenzo Cowell, Sloan's assistant, makes sure that everyone is safe. Otherwise, Sloan is totally self-sufficient. When you sit in his office and look at his stocky build inside a gray and black warm up suit, it's easy to forget that he can't see."I can get you anywhere you want to go," Steve Sloan says with a warm smile. "Just don't ask me to read the signs along the way."40. It can be inferred that Steve Sloan is good at ________.A. footballB. basketballC. tennisD. volleyball41. Steve Sloan is qualified to take part in the torch run because_______.A. he is disabledB. he is of strong characterC. he looks like an Olympic athleteD. he is an P.E. teacher42. From the text we know the next Winter Olympic will be held in______A. 2009B. 2010C. 2007D. 200843. Which of the following is not true?A. The site of the 2006 Winter Olympic is Italy.B. Steve Sloan's class is interesting and funny.C. Steve Sloan has never been to Italy before.D. Steve Sloan is totally self-sufficient.C★★COCHESTER HILLS, Michigan (AP) —A little more than 10 years ago , Tricia Mack was a student at Rochester Adams High School who dreamed of becoming an astronaut .Today, Ms. Mack is a 27 year-old aerospace engineer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (国家宇航局) and is traveling to Russian to work on an international space station. It was a quick journey from Rochester Hills to NASA but instead of being an astronaut, Ms. Mack is training them. She knew she wanted to be involved with outer space, even as far back as her days at West Middle School. And although Ms. Mack knew where she wanted to go, she also knew what it would take. She offers simple advice for kids who might see themselves as future NASA employees: Study your math and science.After graduating from college, she was offered a job at NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, just outside Houston. There, she became a very good trainer and has spent most of her time teaching astronauts how to use their $8 million space suits.Ms. Mack teaches everything from putting on the suits to explaining how to read the warning features. Ms. Mack shows astronauts how to understand information on the suit itself, as well as warning they might hear in their helmets （头盔）. Later, she’ll teach astronauts how to do certain things in their suits.“We have a huge pool that the astronauts are placed in. They wear weights so it feels like neutral gravity (无引力) where they’re not sinking and they’re not floating to the surface ,” she said . “Underwater, astronauts have a stand-in for the conditions in outer space.”Ms. Mack will continue this role as she begins her work on an international space station project. More than 40 flights through 2004 will be taken to the space station. Those include trips by the American shuttles （航天飞机）and the Russian Soyuz rockets , which hold three persons .While Russians have left astronauts on space stations for as long as one year , American crews (机组人员)are not expected to be on the space station longer than 180 days at a time , Ms . Mack explained.As Tricia’s mum, Barbara points out her daughter’s success shows one thing very clearly: “Love your work and you can live your dream, ” she said.44.When Ms. Mack studied at West Middle School, she .A．was eager to do something for the astronautsB．knew she would be a very good teacherC．wasn’t good at maths or scienceD．was determined to work on the study of outer space45.As an engineer, Mr. Mack .A．makes suits for astronautsB．designs equipment for Space CenterC．prepares the astronauts for the conditions in outer spaceD．trains astronauts how to operate the shuttles or rockets46.In this text, the underlined words “a stand-in” mean a person who .A．stands by and looks on while astronauts are workingB．takes the place of an astronaut for a timeC．waits for astronauts in a huge poolD．does research in outer space instead of an astronaut47.Which of the following shows the right order?a．She went to Russia to work on an international space station.b．She wanted very much to become an astronaut.c．Ms. Mack taught astronauts how to use their space suits.d．Mack studied in a college and graduated from it years later.e．Ms. Mack continued her teaching and did a good work.f．Tricia Mack studied at Rochester Adams High School.g．She found a job at NASA’s Lyndon B Johnson Space Center.A．d, g, b, a , f, e , c B．b, f , d , a , g , c, eC．f, d, b , g, a , c, e D．f, b, d, g, c , a , eD★★★Anders Celsius was born in 1701 in Sweden. He succeeded his father as professor of astronomy at the University of Uppsala in 1730. It was there that he built Sweden's first observatory（天文台）in 1741. One of the major questions of that time was the shape of the Earth. Isaac Newton had proposed that the Earth was not completely spherical（球的，球形的）, but rather flattened at the poles. Cartographic measuring in France suggested that it was the other way around - the Earth was elongated（拉长、伸长） at the poles. In 1735, one expedition sailed to Ecuador in South America, and another expedition traveled to Northern Sweden. Celsius was the only professional astronomer on that expedition. Their measurements seemed to indicate that the Earth actually was flattened at the poles. Celsius was not only an astronomer, but also a physicist. He and an assistant discovered that the aurora（极光） borealis had an influence on compass(罗盘) needles. However, the thing that made him famous is his temperature scale, which he based on the boiling and melting points of water. Celsius' fixed scale for measuring temperature defines zero degrees as the temperature at which water freezes, and 100 degrees as the temperature at which water boils. This scale, an inverted form of Celsius' original design, was adopted as the standard and is used in almost all-scientific work.48.What did Anders Celsius’s father do?A. a physicistB. an assistantC. a professor of astronomyD. a scientist49.According to the text, which is wrong about Anders Celsius?A. He was an astronomer and built Sweden's first observatory.B. He has proposed the shape of earth.C. The famous invention in his life was temperature scale.D. The temperature scale was used widely.50. Who found the aurora borealis had an influence on compass needles?A. Isaac NewtonB. one expeditionC. Anders Celsius and an assistantD. The text is not mentioned51. The text is mainly introduced:A. The accomplishment of Anders Celsius in his lifeB. The discover of shape of the earthC. The invention of the temperature scaleD. Anders Celsius was not only an astronomer, but also a physicist.E★★★About one-third of a typical home’s heat loss occurs through the doors and windows. Energy-efficient doors are insulated（隔热的）and seal tightly to prevent air from leaking through or around them. If your doors are in good shape and you don’t want to replace them, make sure they seal tightly and have door sweeps at the bottom to prevent air leaks. Installing（安装） insulated storm doors provides an additional barrier to leaking air.Most homes have many more windows than doors. Replacing older windows with new energy-efficient ones can reduce air leaks and utility bills. The best windows shut tightly and are constructed of two or more pieces of glass separated by a gas that does not conduct heat well.If you cannot replace older windows, there are several things you can do to make them more energy efficient. First, caulk(填．．．．．．以防漏) any cracks around the windows and make sure they seal tightly. Add storm windows or sheets of clear plastic to the outside to create additional air barriers. You can also hang insulated window curtain on the inside—during the winter, open them on sunny days and close them at night. During the summer, close them during the day to keep out the sun.52.If you don’t want to replace the door, you can:A. Seal the door tightlyB. Make door sweeps at the bottomC. You don’t do anything.D. Both A and B53.If you don’t want to replace the windows, you can do except:A. Seal the windows cracks tightly.B. Installing storm window or sheets of clear plastic outsideC. Hang insulated window curtain insideD. Make windows sweeps at the bottom54.When in the summer, we should do:A. Open the windows on days and close them at nightB. Seal the door tightlyC. Close the windows on days and open them at nightD. Seal the windows cracks tightly55.What is the purpose of writing this text?A. To tell people how to save energy.B. Advertise the Energy-efficient doors and windowsC. To tell people that they should reduce the number of windowsD. Energy-efficient doors and windows are useful to decrease heat loss第三部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文改错 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)We had a debate fierce about what shape a certain plant 56. ________should look like in a biology class.
