Janet was 19 of the strange old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.Amy said not to 20 . Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man’s house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown （皱眉头）, 21 when he saw it was Amy, a broad 22 changed his entire face as he said, “Hello Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little 23 with you today.”Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying 24 and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson said that sounded 25 , and gave them each a freshly picked 26 off his tree.When they 27 Dawson’s house, Janet asked Amy, “How come he was so 28 to us?”Amy 29 that when she first started walking past his house he wasn’t very 30 and she was afraid of him, but she 31 he was wearing an invisible （看不见的）smile and so she 32 smiled back at him.

She was inspired by her dad, who had been a fighter when he was younger. But when she first told her dad that she wanted to box, he said, “No! No! Boxing is a man’s sport.” It made Claressa so mad. Claressa wouldn’t back down. “I wanted to fight. I knew that whatever I put my heart and my work into, I was going to be successful at it,” she says.Finally, her dad took her to the boxing gym to start training. She was the only girl. Claressa now has a boxing record of 23 wins and zero losses. “I think you’re right,”her dad told her not long ago. He’s proud that she proved him wrong.Boxing can be dangerous. How does Claressa feel when she steps into the boxing ring（拳击场）? “I’m not nervous. And I’ve never gotten into the ring thinking that a girl can beat me,” she says.But Claressa takes the competitions seriously. “I always tell myself it’s going to be harder than I think,” she says. “I fight them all like they are world champions. If I think it’s going go be easy, I’m done!”Claressa will need all her confidence this month. From May 9 to May 20, she will be in China. There, she’ll fight in the Women’s World Boxing Championships. Claressa must place in the top eight in her weight class out of all the women boxers in the world. Otherwise she can’t go to the Olympics, even though she’s on the U.S. Olympic team.We asked Claressa to imagine stepping into the ring at the Olympics. Would it feel any different from her other fights? “No,” she says. “Just a fight. Just another girl in my way.”36. When Claressa first told her father she wanted to be a boxer, he ___________.A. kept silentB. didn’t support herC. took her to start trainingD. gave her some useful advice37. When Claressa steps into the boxing ring, she is ____________.A. violent and wildB. proud and relaxedC. serious and patientD. confident and calm38. What can we learn about Claressa from the text? ___________A. She loves China greatly.B. She will take part in the Olympics.C. She has the best boxing record in the world.D. She is a member of the U.S. Olympic team.39. What’s the best title for this text? _____________A. A fashionable lifestyleB. Fighting for her dream.高二英语第3页共11页C. Being a successful womanD. A future Olympic championBWhat do John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and John Lennon have in common? Well, apart from the fact that all three were shot, they all have airports named after them. JFK is in New York. Ronald Reagan Airport is in Washington DC. And John Lennon Airport is in Liverpool.In fact, quite a few royals also get an airport. Princess Julian Airport is on the Dutch island of Saint Martin, and Queen Beatrix Airport is on Aruba. President George Bush had Houston International, and Gerald Ford gets a small airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan.The world of entertainment had done quite well, too. New Orleans has its airport named after the jazz star Louis Armstrong. US film star John Wayne is getting an airport in Santa Ana, California. The Italians play tribute to pioneering figures Christopher Columbus and Leonardo da Vince at airports in Genoa and Rome. Both are surely worth an airport, even if neither ever actually flew.So, what’s the world’s busiest airport? For many years, London’s Heathrow Airport had this title, but this is now argued. Although Heathrow does have the largest number of international passengers every year, Frankfurt Airport flies to the most international destinations, however, the airport with the most passengers and flights is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the U.S., which serviced 88 million passengers and 970,235 fights in 2009.The world’s largest airport is also a fiercely contested title. Riyadh’s King Khalid international Airport covers 484 square miles, and is now regarded as the champion. However, first place is about to pass to the Dubai World Central-AlMaktoum International Airport, which has been open to passenger traffic since 2011, although it won’t be fully complete until 2013. it’ll be about to meet the needs of 160 million passengers per year with its four terminals （候机厅）and five runways.What about runways? Well, the longest airport runway is Qamdo Bangda Airport in China at 5,500 meters. The shortest is Saba International Airport in the British Virgin Islands, at only 400 meters.40. What does the underlined part “pay tribute to” in Paragraph 3 means? ______A. KeepB. WatchC. PraiseD. Show41. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph? ________A. Frankfurt Airport is bigger than Heathrow Airport.B. It’s hard to say which the world’s busiest airport is.C. The busiest airport should have the most passengers.D. The airport servicing the most flights in London.42. According to the text, the Dubai World Central-AlMaktoum International Airport _________.A. had been put into use.B. has an area of 484 square miles.C. had become the world’s largest airport.D. transported 160 million passengers in 2011.CFlorida teen Felicia Frisco loves her cat, will. She plays with him, feeds him, and even sleeps with him every night.Sounds like a normal cat, right? Not quite. Will is Bengal tiger.Six in ten Americans own some type of pet --- a dog, a cat, or maybe a hamster. Such animals can live among humans. Will, however, is an “exotic pet.”In fact, as many as 18 million Americans own exotic pets, from monkeys to snakes tokangaroos.Why would you want to own such an animal---especially one that could eat you? There are lots of reasons. Owning an exotic pet can be a way to express your personality. For some, these pets are status （身份）symbols --- a way to show off. But just look at Paris Hilton. In 2005, she raised a honey bear, a small mammal native to Central and South America. She liked it very much until one day it bit her so deeply that she had to go the hospital.Luckily, Hilton made a full recovery. Exotic pets can attract their owners at any moment because they’re wild. They have instinct （本能）we can’t always predict or control. Some people say it’s cruel to remove animals from their natural habitats.Or course, exotic pets, when cared for responsibly, can be wonderful company. As professional animal handlers, Felicia’s parents can give will a good life. But not everyone is so knowledgeable.The fact is exotic pets are a lot of work and a lot of money. (Felicia’s parents spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on will every year.) As a result, many owners end up ignoring or even throwing away their animals.Though there are the risks, may Americans are willing to raise an exotic pet.As for Felicia and Will? Some experts say a tiger shouldn’t ever share a bed with a person. Zookeeper Jack Hanna compares it to sleeping with a bomb （炸弹）. But Felicia isn’t concerned. She says that raising Will is “kind of like raising a dog.”Yeah … kind of.43. According to the text, exotic pets refer to those animals that ___________.A. are unusual.B. are endangered.C. can protect humans.D. can live with people.44. What can we learn from the text? ________________.A. No more than 50% of Americans own pets.B. Keeping pets can reduce tee ns’ pressure.C. Paris Hilton gave up keeping her pet after she was hurt.D. Felicia’s parents look after her pet in a professional way.45. How does zookeeper Jack Hanna feel about a tiger living with a person? _______A. WorriedB. ShockedC. ConfusedD. Disappointed46. What does the author mainly discuss in this text? __________A. Is it necessary to keep a pet?B. Should a tiger be your pet?C. How should we take care of our pets?D. Should teens share a bed with their pets?DIn 1862, Charles Darwin made a prediction --- a moth （蛾）with an 11-inch-long tongue lived on the island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.A friend had sent Darwin a plant called the Christmas Star orchid. It produced star-shaped flowers in December and grew only in the forests of Madagascar, near the east coast of Africa.The key to Darwin’s prediction was a strange part of the plant, an 11-inch-long tube hanging from its flower. He could make his prediction just by looking at the strange flower because he knew how plants make seeds.The pollinator （传粉者）, such as a bird, bee, or moth, visits flowers to drink the nectar, a sugary liquid. The flower holds the pollen near the nectar. While the animal is taking the nectar, the animal cannot avoid having pollen stick to its body. At the next flower, pollen comes off, and that second flower can make a new seed.高二英语第5页共11页Darwin knew that the long tube on the Christmas Star orchid was important because it held the nectar that a pollinator would come to drink. But what animal had a tongue almost a foot long?The Christmas Star orchid gave off a sweet smell but only at night. Its white petals were easy to see in the dark. Both of these clues pointed to a nighttime pollinator. Darwin also knew that the orchids grow far apart. A pollinator would have to be a strong, fast flier to make its way from one flower to another. These clues pointed to a moth. Most moths are active at night, and most are strong fliers. And they drink nectar through a tongue-like feeding organ.Darwin predicted that someday a moth with a long tongue would be found in Madagascar.A few scientists made fun of his prediction. No one had ever seen a moth with an 11-inch-long tongue.Scientists searched for 41 years. Finally, in 1903 (21 years after Darwin’s death) a new type of moth with an 11-inch-long tongue was discovered in Madagascar.47. Which of the following is a picture of the Christmas Star orchid?48. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ____________.A. how plants make seedsB. why the nectar tastes like sugarC. what animals like to drink nectarD. where flowers hold the pollen49. How did Darwin make his prediction?A. By studying the behavior of moths.B. By researching into different pollinators.C. By gathering information about Madagascar.D. By observing the Christmas Star orchid closely.50. According to the text, Darwin’s prediction___________.A. was made 100 years ago.B. proved to be completely right.C. was made with the help of his friend.D. won other scientists’ support immediately.IV. 单词拼写（共5小题, 每小题1分, 共5分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词, 在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式, 每空只写一词。

One day, he passed by a local CD store and heard a song that greatly attracted him.“ My heart tells me that music is the thing I truly want to do, not for fame（名誉） ormoney,” Chou said.

In this album （集） he explores human relationships in the Internet age. “Technology itself is a good thing, but it depends on how you 're going to use ”it,is Chou 's advice to teenagers.Chou often gets his music ideas from trips. He has traveled to many places around the world and believes that learning a country 's language is the fastest way of experiencing theculture behind it.Chou has worked hard on learning English to push forward his music career. He has flown to the UK to attend months-long English training schools three times. There he lives with local families and practices daily conversations.“ So I could easily read the English instructions on recording machines and communicate with the localmusic producers, ” said Chou, “The music reviews of the US orBritish singers that I appreciate could help me learn and grow with them. ” 41.

Calm and disappointed.BYour body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment （营养）.The old saying “Anapple a day keeps the doctoraway ”isnot as silly as some people think．The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain Vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy .But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn 't need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly . The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening,45. “ Your body has close relations with the food you ea. t ” It really means that __ .A. all kinds of food you eat can be made into your bodyB. your body is made up of the food you eatC. what you eat has great effect on your healthD. the more you eat, the fitter you will feel46.

In the modern western countries _____ .A. people don't want to pay more attention to their eatingB. lots of people ' s illnesses are caused or made worse by bad eating habitsC. people throw everything into their stomachs without chewingD. people are only too busy to cook meals for themselves48. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy, we shouldA. only eat an apple a dayB. eat properlyC ．take as many vitamin pills as possibleD ．throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefullyCI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt ' s and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism （乐观）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost —having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “ the hard times. ”My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers （移民局官员）, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.49. How did the author get to know America?A. From radio programsB. From books and picturesC. From her motherD. From her relatives50. For the first two years in New York, the author _______ .A. often lost her wayB. did not think about her futureC. studied in three different schoolsD. got on well with her stepfather51.

She helped her family with her English.52. The author believes that _______ .A. her future will be free from troublesB. it is difficult to learn to become patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. good things will happen if one keeps tryingDWhen did you last see a polar bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended awin ter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have see n a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet freque ntly in the win ter to swim in freez ing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3 °C , and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requireme nts. First, they must get along well with every one else in the group. This is very importa nt because there are so many differe nt kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swimoutdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swim ming. Some are worried about the dan gers of a con diti on in which the body's temperature drops so low that fin ally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more dan ger of a heart attack duri ng summer swim ming because the differe nee betwee n the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer tha n in win ter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the ben efits （or adva ntages） of cold-water swimmi ng. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system （循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should n ot try cold-water swimmi ng.The main ben efits （or adva ntages） of cold-water swimmi ng are probably men tal. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."53. Accord ing to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that ________ .A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blueB. cold-water swimmi ng causes more heart attacks in summer tha n in win terC. cold-water swimmi ng can make the body temperature dan gerously highD. Polar Bears are bears swimmi ng in freez ing water54. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _________ .A. they can rema in youngB. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterC. they find it enjoyable and interestingD. they might meet fewer troubles in life55. The passage is mainly about _________ .A. a group of cold-water swimmi ng loversB. the polar bears' lifeC. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimmi ngD. the requireme nts of the Polar Bear Club第二部分（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）56Home can be a great place for children to study.

Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days afterthe sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” In their home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby's grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula, 42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children -- including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. "We thought they were all lost in the sea," says Schleifer. Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby's grave, scientists have compared theDNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. "He belongs to the people of Halifax," says Schleifer. "They've taken care of him for 90 years."61. The baby travelled on the Titanic with his___________.A. motherB. parentsC. auntD. relatives62. What is probably the boy's last name?A. SchleiferiB. Eino.C. Magda.D. Panula.63. This text is mainly about how______________.A. the unknown baby's body was taken from the north AtlanticB. the unknown baby was buried in Halifax, Nova ScotiaC. people found out who the unknown baby wasD. people took care of the unknown baby for 90 yearsBTwo hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world's largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows(草地), mountain and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats(栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos' natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy(大自然保护协会) named the area one of America's "Last Great Places" .Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania,the conservancy's Bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging（打造）partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area. Altemose's family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family's land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy's success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents. "The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said. "The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort."For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world's other "Last Great Places," please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at .64. The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America's "Last Great Places" is to_____.A. gain support from the local communityB. protect it from irresponsible developmentC. make it a better home for black bearsD. provide financial security for future generations65. We learn from the passage that________.A. the population in the Pocono area is growingB. wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidlyC. the security of the Pocono residents is being threatenedD. farmlands in the Pocono area are getting smaller fast66. What does Bud Cook mean by "having a local presence" (Line 1, Para. 5)?A. Financial contributions from local business leadersB. Consideration of the interests of the local residentsC. The establishment of a wildlife protection foundation in the areaD. The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area67. The passage most probably is _____.A. an official documentB. a news storyC. an advertisementD. a research reportCRalph and Ilene hadn’t been to a baseball game in about five years. They lived only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took them about an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the traveling took longer than the game itself.One day, they decided to go to a game. They drove south on the 110 freeway. The 110 is California’s original freeway, full of twists and turns. Accidents occur daily. California drivers think yellow lights and sharp curves mean the same thing—speed up!The traffic was lighter than they expected. They arrived at the stadium 40 minutes before game time. They paid the $8 parking fee, parked and locked the car, and walked to the main entrance.Several individuals were standing around outside the stadium, looking casual but actually selling tickets secretly. They walked over to a man in a red cap.Ralph’s instincts were correct. The man had tickets for good seats at a fair price. Ralph gave the man $45 and thanked him.“Don’t thank me, my friend. Put your hands behind your back, please. You’re under arrest.”“What?” Ralph was astonished. “What’s going on?”“Buying scalped tickets(黄牛票) is illegal in Los Angeles, and we’ve got a new mayor who wants us to enforce all the laws that bring in money.” said the man. “Don’t worry. We’ll have you back here right after we book you. You can pay the $150 fine with your credit card. Have a nice day. Oh, and enjoy the game!”68.Why didn’t Ralph and Ilene go to the baseball game very often?A.Because they were not very interested in baseball.B.Because they lived far away from the stadium.C.Because it was time-consuming to go there.D.Because it was often hard to find a place to park.69.Why did many accidents occur on the 110 freeway according to the passage?A. Because the traffic lights were broken.B. Because traffic was heavy there.C. Because the road conditions were poor.D. Because people always drove too fast.70.By saying “Ralph’s instincts were correct,” the author means that ________.A. Ralph was lucky enough to get two tickets right before the game startedB. Ralph was wise enough to choose the best two tickets from the manC. Ralph was good at bargaining so that he got the tickets at a fair priceD. Ralph identified the right person who offered tickets at reasonable prices71.What is the man in a red cap?A. A ticket dealer.B. A police officer.C. A robber.D. Mayor of the city.DIf Procter & Gamble stooped(堕落) to hire Vietnam veterans（老兵）to peek（偷看）into a rival’s(对手的) dustbins, it knows it is not alone. Spying is common in consumer product industries where the timing of a $ 100 million marketing campaign and a product launch can be critical to success or failure.In January, Kraft, the food giant, accused a rival of stealing trade secrets about a new pizza base. Kraft claimed that Schwan’s Sales enterprises hired a double agent and a freelance(自由职业者) corporate intelligence agent to find the secret to Kraft’s “rising crust” frozen pizza. According to Kraft, the freelance agent Marc Barry pretended as a reporter, a food researcher and a Kraft manager to collect information. The strategy apparently worked. The company complained that even “aslight advantage in the market place could mean millions of dollars of sales lost.”Even Unilever admits the importance of market intelligence. “Everyone does competitive intelligence.” The company said, but the problem is the dividing line between legal research and immoral or even illegal activities. The law is unclear: breaking and entering is clearly illegal but studying rivals through dustbins on public property does not go against the law. Spying has also leapt into cyberspace with the recent investigation by the European Parliament into the use of the Echelon network, a military intelligence（情报）network. France and Holland complained that the network, run by Britain’s GCHQ and America’s National Security Agency, was being used to spy on corporate e-mails, causing their national firms to lose deals.Procter & Gamble itself knows the risks and the company’s attempts to build a wall around its headquarters. According to Alecia Swasy, a financial journalist, leaving an internal telephone directory on your desk is an offence likely leading to be unemployed at P&G.72. The chief concern of the consumer product companies is ______.A. to hire veterans to peek into a rival’s dustbinsB. to know that they are not alone in competitive spyingC. to invest a $ 100 million into consumer product industriesD. to set the time at which products are put on market73.Who was hired by Schwan’s Sales enterprises to find Kraft’s secret?A. A Vietnam veteranB. A food researcherC. A Kraft managerD. A double agent74. Which of the following mentioned in the passage doesn’t do spying?A. The Echelon networkB. France and HollandC. Schwan’s Sales enterprisesD. America’s National Security Agency75. The best title for this passage may be ______.A. Big Business of Industrial SpyingB. Legal Research or Illegal ActivityC. The Key to Success or FailureD. The Importance of Market IntelligenceESome houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building rules wasn't strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo's wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to resist a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble "a large party lantern" at night, according to oneobserver. But looks can be deceiving. The house's wooden frame is strengthened with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber(木头) pilings (屋基)—long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges (波涛汹涌) to run under the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings," said Huff.Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house's ground-to-roof shell.

Life第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）第一节 (共15小题，每小题2分，共30分) A Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information. The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper. Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago. 46. If you want to get pleasure, please buy yourself . A. a serious newspaper B. foreign newspaper C. any independent paper D. a popular newspaper 47. The Times has been famous to outside Great Britain for _______ years. A. 126 B. 326 C. 226 D. 429 48. The Times is an independent paper because .A. it supports no political partiesB. it is not controlled by the British GovernmentC. it gives special support to all thepolitical parties. D. the editor’s opinions are not examine d by the owners of the paper 49. The underlined word “vary” in the passage probably means “______”. A. improve B. compete with each other C. are different D. keep in touch with each other 50. The writer tells us _______ in this passage. A. all kinds of newspapers in Britain B. all kinds of news in English papers C. how Times is liked by people D. why Times is well-known B Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment. Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas. There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or otheropen spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free. 51. Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of? A. Cycling around a lake. B. Motor racing in the desert. C. Playing basketball in a gym. D. Swimming in a sports center. 52. What do we know about golf from the passage? A. It is more popular in Portugal than in Spain. B. It causes water shortages around the world. C. It pollutes the earth with wastes. D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green. 53. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because _________. A. it is an outdoor sport B. it improves our health C. it uses fewer resources D. it is recommended by experts 54. The author writes the passage to _________. A. show us the function of major sports B. encourage us to go in for green sports C. discuss the major influence of popular sports D. introduce different types of environment-friendly sports 55. The following are the functions of power walking EXCEPT_______. A. It may help you control your weight. B. It can make you feel relaxed. C. It may help you have a sound sleep. D. It can make you feel anxious.C I got my first driver’s license in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’s license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry S mith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said. I argued, pointing to a very large belly of mine,”I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to havesomeone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “It’s the law, madam?” Henry encourag ed me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it. “No.” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license. I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam. Since the n I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive. 56. Susan got her first driver's license . A. before she got married to Henry B. when she was twenty years old C. after she finished high school D. when she just moved to Maryland 57. When she first got her driver’s license, she was ________ years old. A. fourteen B. fifteen C. sixteen D. seventeen 58. Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because . A. she was forbidden to drive by Maryland law B. she lacked driving experience in Maryland C. she was to give birth to a baby soon D. she insisted on signing for herself 59. The underlined word “belly” in the passage probably means “______”. A.罩衫 B. 肚子 C. 围巾 D. 身材 60. We can infer from the text that in the U.S. . A. American males should serve in the army B. different states may have different laws C. people have to renew their licenses in their home states D. women should adopt their husbands' family names after marriage 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从下框的A―F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。
