ABarack Obama has really gone wild.The US president has taken part in the survival television show Running Wild With Bear Grylls,which will air on NBC later this year. In the show,Obama goes on an adventure with host Bear Grylls,learning how to survive in the Alaskan wilderness.Edward Michael“Bear”Grylls,41,has become known around the world as one of the most famous outdoor adventurers.The Briton has appeared on a number of wilderness survival shows in which he has climbed,sailed,and eaten bugs or cow tongue.Obama doesn’t have to eat bugs or cow tongue on his adventure with Grylls. But he does have to eat leftovers-a bloody salmon(三文鱼).It was partly enjoyed by a bear that left some meat behind.Although he is far from the White House kitchen,Obama seems to enjoy the outdoors.“As president,I am in what’s called the bubble（保护膜）,and the Secret Service makes sure that I’m always out of danger...but I sometimes want to get out,”he said in a video.However,Obama’s appearance on the show isn’t just for fun.He took part to raise awareness of the effect global warming has had on the US’s largest state, Alaska.21.On his adventure,Obama______.A.has to eat something strange like bugsB.enjoys cow tongue with GryllsC.takes in some unusual foodD.never has any difficulty22.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A.Obama has been tired of the life in the White House presidents have never been in danger because of the Secret ServiceC.the food prepared in the White House is not as good as the food outdoorsD.the life outside the White House is sometimes attractive to the president23.The purpose of Obama’s appearance on the show is_____.A.to have some funB.to promote environmental protectionC.to enjoy the wilderness in Alaska.D.to get out of the White House for a change24.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Grylls is the most well known outdoor adventurer around the world.B.The TV show with Obama’s appearance is now on air on NBC.C.Obama learns how to survive with host Bear Grylls in African wilderness.D.Grylls has special abilities to survive in the wildBArriving in Sydney on his own from India,my husband,Rashid,stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay,he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone.He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers,including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organised again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out,although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.25.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shopping.B.Find a house.C.Join his family.D.Take a vacation.26.The girl's parents got Rashid's phone number from______.A.a friend of his familyB.a Sydney policemanC.a letter in his papersD.a stranger in Sydney27.What does the underlined word“restored”in the last paragraph mean?A.Showed.B.Sent out.C.Delivered.D.Gave back.28.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.From India to Australia.B.Living in a New Country.C.Turning Trash to Treasure.D.In Search of New Friends.C“The really big concern over the last decade，”according to Dr.David Whitehead,“is the relative loss of opportunities for children to engage in child­led play.”That's true.One of the exhausting aspects of modern parenting is that everything,even doing nothing,has to be purposeful.Now that“parenting”has become a verb—a state of doing,rather than simply being—it can feel unnatural to leave your children to their own devices.Yet it creates spaces in which good things can happen.The psychology lecturer is responding to a survey showing that 80percent of parents of small children feel under pressure to fill their days with “structured”activities.This,says Dr.Whitehead,is a mistake.Leaving your children to play on their own or with their peers enables them to develop “self­regulation abilities”，which in turn leads to better academic achievement.One afternoon last autumn,sitting on a bench doing no parenting at all,I suddenly felt I was getting the hang of it.That afternoon,my sister and I took our children to the park.We had lots to talk about,so we sat down on a bench and drove the children away.After briefly complaining,the cousins wandered off and started jumping into puddles(水洼)．They jumped and jumped,and then one of them kicked some muddy water at the others. My sister and I,deep in conversation,didn't notice this.So my nephew became more adventurous.He scooped up a handful of mud and threw it on my son's head.My son caught his breath happily wiped the mud out of his eyes,and threw one back.My nephew, who has a talent for naming things,puffed out his tiny chest and roared：“Let's play Muddikins！”The rules of Muddikins are simple.You run around throwing mud at each other until everyone is so thickly coated that you can no longer be sure which child is whose.Nothing is learnt from it;nobody is improved.It is pure fun,of the sort that can only happen when parents drop the reins(缰绳).They_did_it.“Whoa,that's so cool，”said one.“I wish my mum was like you.”29．What is stressed in Paragraph1?A．Child­led play matters in the development of children.B．Parents'concern over their children is unnecessary.C．Children's activities should be well organized.D．Parenting is everything in a family.30．What does the author think of the behavior of the children in the puddles?A．Amazing.B．Troublesome.C．Adventurous.D．Worthwhile. 31．By saying“They did it”in the last paragraph,the author means that________.A．The reins were droppedB．She failed to distinguish her childC．The children learned from the MuddikinsD．She confirmed Dr.David Whitehead's theory32．The text is mainly about the relationship between______.A．parents and children B．individual and groupC．play and acquisition D．theory and practiceD“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere，but changes in temperature，humidity(湿度)and nutrient availability seem to have trumped(胜过)the benefits of increased carbon dioxide，”said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past.The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats，caused by climate change，are possible reasons for the shrinking of creatures.“We do not yet know the exact mechanisms(机制)involved，or why some organisms are getting smaller while others are unaffected，”the researchers said.“Until we understand more，we could be risking negative consequences that we can't yet quantify.”The change is big in cold­blooded animals.Only two decades of warmer temperatures are enough to make creatures smaller.An increase of only1℃causes nearly a10percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢)．Greater use of energy results in tiny tortoises and little lizards.Fish are smaller now too.Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers，experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing.Warm­blooded animals aren't immune(免除)from the size change caused by climate change.Many birds are now smaller.Red deer are weaker.And polar bears are smaller，compared with historical records.This isn't the first time that has happened in Earth's history.55million years ago，a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees，spiders and ants to shrink by50to75percent over several thousand years.That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adaptquickly enough，especially those with long generation times.So，it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in the future.33.What does the text mainly talk about？A．Why some species become smaller.B．How climate changes in Earth's history.C．Climate change has many negative effects.D．Species are becoming smaller as climate gets warmer.34.Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that________.A．they have found the exact causes for creatures getting smallerB．increase in energy use can lead to creatures getting smallerC．climate change has more negative effects on warmblooded animalsD．all the animals on the earth have become smaller35.What does the author feel about the climate change？A．Worried.B．Optimistic.C．Disappointed.D．Shameful.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
