Three of thepassengers—Canessa, Parrado, and Vizintin—volunteered to 5 through the mountains to search for help.When they left, each man wore similar clothes: three pairs of socks, a plastic bag 6 each foot to keep the water out, boots, four pairs of trousers, and four sweaters. Many of the clothes came from those who had died in the crash. The three men 7 that they would survive and bring back help.For part of the first day, they were glad to make some 8 .

Althoughthey were still in the middle of the mountains, Parrado 13 two low tops far away that didn't have snow. If they could get there, they would be out of the Andes.Within the following days they walked toward the two low tops. Little by little, the landscape began to change. Snow 14 completely, and flowers were everywhere. "This is the valley, " Canessa said. "This is the way 15 ." Then things of humanity started to appear—a few cans on the ground, some farm animals in a field. By December 21, the extremely 16 men made it to the town of Los Maitenes, and a rescue team was sent immediately to 17 for the survivors who were still high in the Andes.Finally all of the remaining survivors were 18 .

I did really badly in my history course, so my mother said to me, "I'll work with you for a full week. I'm going to show you(1)When the author did badly in the course, his mother thought that .A.B.C.D.(2)In college, the author was in registration lines all day to .A.B.C.D.(3)Which of the following best describes the author in college?A.B.C.D.(4)According to the author, it is important for dyslexic people .A.B.C.D.what you can do if you put in the right amount of effort." So we did. We worked on history for a full week, an extra hour every day. Then I went to school and failed the test, as always. It was really upsetting.By the time I got to college I came to know that I couldn't spell no matter how hard I tried. So I would sign up for extra courses. I'd be in registration lines all day. Then I would go around the first day of class and ask each professor: "What's your policy on misspelling? " If he said, "Three misspellings is a fail, " I'd drop it.Although I was an academic failure, I had a great time. I had many friends and I was always popular. I was a good football player, which was important in those years because I could read my name in the newspaper. I never had a day when I would think, "People don't like me."In spite of my obvious weaknesses, I became successful in my career, so much so that people say to me, "So you've overcome dyslexia." No. I don't overcome it. I just learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are hard for me. Most people read 500 words a minute. I only read 200. I try not to dial a phone because I sometimes have to dial three times to get the number right. I owe my successful career to my writing instructor, Ralph Salisbury. He looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement. So I always feel confident. When I write my books, I'm seeing everything in my imagination. I write quickly and go like the wind.The real fear that I have for dyslexic people is not that they have to struggle with their reading skills or that they can't spell correctly, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school.he needed a better teacherhe did not work hard enoughhe was probably too ill to studyhe was not as smart as other childrenchoose most interesting coursesbecome friends with new classmatesstay distance from language teachersavoid courses that require correct spellingHappy and active.Shy and unhappy.Successful and funny.Quiet and unsuccessful.not to get out of schoolnot to give up so easilyto learn to spell correctlyto develop reading skills6.(1)What's the main purpose of setting up the Centre for Alternative Technology?A.B.C.D.(2)According to the passage, visitors can .A.B.C.D.(3)Where is the passage most probably from?A.B.C.D.A unique experience awaits you at the Centre for Alternative Technology on the edge of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park.Over thirty years ago a group of people decided to try out alternative technologies. They chose a remote empty place, where rock used to be dug from the ground, as their base. Here experiments offering solutions to the world's energy problems were carried out, and nowadays many of these ideas have become common practice. You can experience all these for yourself in just one day with us, and then take away what you have learned and put it into practice at home. Be assured it will help you save on your household energy costs!Your visit to us begins with a ride up a steep 60-metre hillside on a railway which is worked by using the weight of water. At the top of the mountain you will enjoy beautiful views to the distant coastline. Then interactive displays show the power of wind, water and sun, while showing you what can be done in an ordinary household to reduce your influence on the planet.There was no soil when the project was started, so we created our organic gardens using our own home-made soil. You can enjoy woodland walks or even notice spring flowers growing on the roofs of environmentally-friendly buildings.In 2006 we opened our new eco-adventure playground for children, and we also run workshops where they can make models and become inventors of the future by putting wind, water or solar power into their own designs.The Centre for Alternative Technology is open all year round and has good rail, road and cycle links. In fact we offer a 50% reduction on the admission price if you arrive by bicycle. There is wheelchair access for disabled visitors—telephone us in advance if you would like assistance.To provide people with relevant experience.To teach people how to reduce energy costs.To show the hard condition for early experiments.To encourage people to develop alternative technologies.learn to create their own organic gardensappreciate the views of distant mountainsvisit exhibitions of alternative technologiesenjoy woodland walks on the top of buildingsA literary essay.A research report.A historical novel.A science website.7.(1)In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us that .A.B.C.D.(2)We can learn from Paragraph 3 that .A.B.Learning to RunAn article published in the scientific journal Nature discusses an important aspect of human evolution.According to Bramble and Lieberman, Professors at the University of Utah, humans possess a number of features that make them surprisingly good runners. "We are confident that the selection for running was important in the origin of the human body form. " says Bramble.Traditional thinking has been that humans are poor runners compared to such animals as horses. However,this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. Even an athlete can hardly run as quickly as a horse does, and can only keep up a top speed for 15 seconds or so. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans will do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their speed is at least at the same level with that of horses.Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 parts of human bodies. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament (韧带). When we run, it is this ligament that prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. Then there are Achilles tendons at the backs of our legs, forming the mechanical links between the muscles to the bones. They act like strong strings and help to push us forward when we run. Besides, we have low, wide shoulders, a development which allows us to run more effectively. Add to this our light forearms, which swing in co-operation with the movement of our legs to assist balance, and one begins to appreciate the point that Bramble and Lieberman are trying to make.But what advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? One theory is that this ability may have permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. Some scientists guess that early humans may have run after animals for great distances to make them tired before killing them. Running would also have shown another advantage: early humans might have eaten the meat left over from a kill by other large animals. They may have been warned of the existence of a freshly killed animal by vultures (秃鹰), and the faster they got to the scene of the kill, the better."Research on the history of human ability of running has traditionally been controversial. " says Lieberman."At the very least, I hope this theory will make many people have second thoughts about how humans learned to run and why we are built the way we are."humans are poor runners compared to horseshumans are good runners over long distanceshumans may run at high speed for a short timehumans can keep a constant pace when runningtendons are a successful adaptation for runningstrong muscles and bones keep running effectiveC.D.(3)What conclusion is drawn about early humans?A.B.C.D.(4)What does Lieberman mean by saying the underlined sentence?A.B.C.D.the shape of shoulders affects the position of headshumans can run faster if they have longer forearmsThey followed birds to avoid danger.They were unable to kill large animals.They developed their big brains for running.They evolved running due to the need for hunting.Proving that humans run in a comfortable position.Informing people of the reasons why humans may run.Expressing appreciation of the theory of human evolution.Making people reconsider the idea about our body structure.8.Why Mars (火星) is New SettlementIs it possible to live on other planets? The United States government is taking a serious look at the moon and Mars as potential places for future human settlement. The moon could serve as a training ground for later journeys to Mars. Currently, with Mars becoming the eventual long-term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the dangers of the settlement on the moon are too extreme and unnecessary.One major reason the settlement on the moon is too dangerous is the difference between the atmosphere environment of the moon and Mars. Atmosphere is important because it protects humans and all other life from a continuous attack of radiation (辐射) caused by sources such as the sun. This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can negatively change DNA. The fact that the moon has no atmosphere can cause great harm to human beings. Although Mars' atmosphere is significantly thinner than Earth's, at least it has one and would create some sort of protective barrier for humans.Another important characteristic necessary for human settlement is natural resources like water, of which the moon is believed to have none. Mars, however, contains vast quantities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow.There is also sufficient evidence that water once existed at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the planet warms. With increased technologies, the potential for settlers to remain on Mars by being increasingly self-sufficient makes Mars a much more attractive goal as the space settlement than the moon.Future settlers will not only benefit from potential water on Mars; the planet is also rich in other natural resources such as oxygen, hydrogen, and minerals, which can be well used in productive ways. For example,hydrogen can be used as fuel, and it can be combined with nitrogen (氮气) to form new materials necessary for human settlement. Due to these advantages, Mars would be a more successful planet for exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to survive.Since the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth and it contains resources necessary to help life exist, it should be the only option for any kind of long-term human settlement.

They are big fans and seem to connect their own identity to their chosen team.Identity consists of things like gender (性别), personality, abilities, and social groups. The groups we belong to shape our identity. Related to this is the theory developed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner. 1 In knowing who we are, we may more closely identify with our social group than with our gender group. We also decide which group we belong to, based on different aspects of our identity. According to the theory, our self-esteem—how we feel about ourselves—is reflected in the group we belong to. 2 For example, we naturally protect the group we belong to, while making other groups less important. We think highly of the team we support, while we may add negative comments about an opposing team.Researchers have studied language used by sports fans. 3 By using pronouns like "we" , fans show that they feel connected with the team when it is winning. "We really killed that team. They couldn't get the ball past us." However, when their team didn't do well, the fans would distance themselves from the team, using different pronouns. "They didn't know what they were doing. They had no planning."4 They have found those fans have more self-confidence and feel more competent. They are quite sure they have the ability to deal with situations successfully or do things to a satisfactory standard.5 These people will perform better at work and earn and spend more money, so experts suggest that a winning team may have a positive influence on the economy of a city.They suggested that we naturally classify people into groups.That causes increased competitions between different groups of sports fans.It is probably because the victory reflects well on their personal sense of identity.Comments from group members certainly have a strong influence on our behavior.When their team did well, the fans would closely identify themselves with the team.That leads to the fact that we want our group to be seen more positively than other groups.Social scientists have also studied the effect of winning a championship on the fans of the winning team.10.假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。

ASports can help us a lot. Taking exercises can make us strong. In collective(集体的) sports likebasketball, volleyball or football, we will learn the importance of cooperation(合作). And sports can alsohelp us relax after work or study.However, as the saying goes, “there are two sides of everything.” Sometimes we may hurt otherplayers or ourselves if we are not careful enough when participating(参加) in sports activities. What?s more,too much or hard practice can be bad for our health.Sports can make us healthy both physically and psychologically(心理地). It is also a good way forpeople to know each other and can improve friendship between people. So long as we are careful enough,sports can do us nothing but good.21. can make us strong.A. SleepingB. SingingC. Making friendsD. Taking exercise22. Too much exercise can be for us.A. goodB. enoughC. badD. helpful23. Sports can.A. help people to know each otherB. improve friendship between peopleC. do us nothing but good if we are carefulD. All of the above24. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Sports can help us relax after work or study.B. Sports can only make us healthy physically.C. Sometimes we may hurt other players or ourselves when participating in sports activities.D. Basketball and volleyball are both collective sports.BMany United States companies have made the search for legal protection from import competition intoa major line of work. Since 1980, the United States International Trade Commission(ITC) has receivedabout 280 complaints alleging damage from imports that benefit from subsidies(补贴)by foreign governments. Another 340 charge that foreign companies“dumped ” their products in the United States at“less than fair value ”. Even when no unfair practices are claimed, the simple claim that an industry has been injured by imports is sufficient grounds to seek relief(救济).Contrary to the general impression, this request for import relief has hurt more companies than it hashelped. As corporations begin to function globally, they develop a complicated web of marketing, production, and research relationships. The complexity of these relationships makes it unlikely that asystem of import relief laws will meet the strategic needs of all the units under the same parent company.Internationalization increases the danger that foreign companies will use import relief laws against the verycompanies the laws were designed to protect. Suppose a United States-owned company establishes anoverseas plant to manufacture a product while its competitor makes the same product in the United States.If the competitor can prove injury from the imports ——and that the United States company received asubsidy from a foreign government to build its plant abroad——the United States company?s products willbe uncompetitive in the United States, since they would be subject to duties.Perhaps the most shameful case occurred when the ITC investigated allegations(控诉) that Canadiancompanies were injuring the United States salt industry by dumping rock salt, used to deice roads. Thebizarre aspect of the complaint was that a foreign conglomerate(联合企业) with United States operationswas crying for help against a United States company with foreign operations. The“United Statesclaiming injury was a unit of a Dutch conglomerate, while the“Canadian ” companies included a un此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号Chicago firm that was the second-largest domestic producer of rock salt.25. The passage is chiefly concerned with .A. arguing against the increased internationalization of US corporationsB. recommending a uniform method for handling claims of unfair trade practicesC. warning that the application of laws affecting trade frequently has unintended consequencesD. advocating the use of trade restrictions for “dumped” products but not for other imports26. What can be inferred about the minimal basis for a complaint to the ITC?A. A foreign competitor is selling products in the US at less than fair market value.B. A foreign competitor has greatly increased the volume of products shipped to the US.C. The company requesting import relief has been banned from exporting products.D. The company requesting import relief has been injured by the sale of imports in the US.27. Which of the following is most likely to be true of US trade laws?A. They will eliminate the practice of “dumping” products in the US.B. Those applied to international companies will help to gain more profits.C. They will affect US trade with Canada more negatively than trade with other nations.D. Those helping one unit within a parent company won?t necessarily help other units.CPalaces are known for their beauty and splendor, but they offer little protection against attacks. It iseasy to defend a large building, but usually these buildings are not designed with the comfort of a king inmind. When it comes to structures that are both beautiful and defensive, the European castle is a big success.Castles were originally built in England by the Normans in 1066. They built towers and walls to secure the land they had taken. These castles provided the Normans with a quiet and safe place. They alsoserved as bases of operation for attacks. In this way castles served both defensive and offensive roles. Besides, castles served as offices for governors. Those that were socially beneath the governor would cometo report affairs and express their respect. They would address problems, handle business, feast, and enjoy festivities in castles. So castles served as social centers as well.The first castles were made from earth and wood, and they were likely to suffer from attacks by fire.Then wooden castles were gradually replaced by stone, which greatly increased the strength of these towersand walls. However, attackers could throw flaming objects into castles through the windows or burn thewooden doors. This led to moving the windows and entrances off of the ground floor and up to the firstfloor to make them more difficult to access.During the Middle Ages, attacks increased in regularity, so castle defenses were updated. Arrow-slits were added. They were small holes in the castle, which allowed defenders to fire without being hurt. Towers were built from which defenders could provide fire on both sides. The towers were connected to the castle by wooden bridges, so that if one tower fell, the rest of the castle was still easy to defend. A lot ofrings of castle walls were constructed, so that even if attackers went past one wall, they would be caught ona killing ground between inner and outer walls. All of these increased the defense of castles.The end of castles can be attributed to gunpowder. During the 15th century, artillery, a kind of large guns, became powerful enough to break through stone walls. This greatly made the role of castles less effective. Though castles no longer serve their original purposes, remaining castles receive millions of visitors each year who wish to experience the situations of ancient times.28. What was the original function of castles according to the passage?A. They served as tourist attractions.B. They were important social centers.C. They marked religious ceremonies.D. They were built for use in emergencies.29. The reason why wooden castles were replaced by stone castles was that .A. stone castles cost less moneyB. stone castles offered better defenseC. wooden castles were uncomfortableD. wooden castles took a long time to build30. Which of the following showed an improvement in castle defenses?A. Castles were totally separated by stones.B. Arrow-slits were made in large quantities.C. Rings of walls were built to defend the towers.D. Windows and entrances were moved to the higher floor.31. What is the best title of the passage?A. Fancy Living: Learning about CastlesB. Normans: Bringing Castles to EnglandC. A History of Castles: The Rise and Fall of CastlesD. Defending Castles: Technologies Used to Defend CastlesDA schoolgirl saved her father?s life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic。

Days turned into weeks. It was urgent to find a way to 14 . Three of the passengers—Canessa, Parrado, andVizintin—volunteered to 15 through the mountains to search for help. When they left, each man wore similar clothes: three pairs of socks, a plastic bag 16 each foot to keep the water out, boots, four pairs of trousers, and four sweaters. Many of the clothes came from those who had died in the crash. The three men 17 that they would survive and bring back help.For part of the first day, they were glad to make some 18 .

Although they were still in the middle of the mountains, Parrado 23 two low tops far away that didn’t have snow.

I did really badly in my history course, so my mother said to me,“I’l l work with you for a full week.I’m going to show you what you can do if you put in the right amount of effort.” So we did. We worked on history for a full week, an extra hour every day. Then I went to school and failed the test, as always. It was really upsetting.By the time I got to college I came to know that I couldn’t spell no matter how hard I tried. So I would sign up for extra courses.I’d be in registration lines all day. Then I would go around the first day of class and ask each professor: “What’s your policy on misspelling?”If he said, “Three misspellings is a fail,” I’d drop it.Although I was an academic failure, I had a great time. I had many friends and I was always popular. I was a good football player, which was important in those years because I could read my name in the newspaper. I never had a day when I would think, “P eople don’t like m e.”In spite of my obvious weaknesses, I became successful in my career, so much so that people say to me, “So you’v e overcome dyslexi a.” No. I don’t overcome it. I just learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are hard for me. Most people read 500 words a minute. I only read 200. I try not to dial a phone because I sometimes have to dial three times to get the number right. I owe my successful career to my writing instructor, Ralph Salisbury. He looked past my misspellings and gave me encouragement. So I always feel confident. When I write my books, I’m seeing everything in my imagination. I write quicklyand go like the wind.The real fear that I have for dyslexic people is not that they have to struggle with their reading skills or that they can’t spell correctly, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school.31.When the author did badly in the course, his mother thought that .A.he needed a better teacherB.he did not work hard enoughC.he was probably too ill to studyD.he was not as smart as other children32.In college, the author was in registration lines all day to .A.choose most interesting coursesB.become friends with new classmatesC.stay distance from language teachersD.avoid courses that require correct spelling33.Which of the following best describes the author in college?A.Happy and active.B.Shy and unhappy.C.Successful and funny.D.Quiet and unsuccessful.34.According to the author, it is important for dyslexic people .A.not to get out of schoolB.not to give up so easilyC.to learn to spell correctlyD.to develop reading skillsA unique experience awaits you at the Centre for Alternative Technology on the edge of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park.Over thirty years ago a group of people decided to try out alternative technologies. They chose a remote empty place, where rock used to be dug from the ground, as their base. Here experiments offering solutions to the world’s energy problems were carried out, and nowadays many of these ideas have become common practice. You can experience all these for yourself in just one day with us, and then take away what you have learned and put it intopractice at home. Be assured it will help you save on your household energy costs!Your visit to us begins with a ride up a steep 60-metre hillside on a railway which is worked by using the weight of water. At the top of the mountain you will enjoy beautiful views to the distant coastline. Then interactive displays show the power of wind, water and sun, while showing you what can be done in an ordinary household to reduce your influence on the planet.There was no soil when the project was started, so we created our organic gardens using our own home-made soil. You can enjoy woodland walks or even notice spring flowers growing on the roofs of environmentally-friendly buildings.In 2006 we opened our new eco-adventure playground for children, and we also run workshops where they can make models and become inventors of the future by putting wind, water or solar power into their own designs.The Centre for Alternative Technology is open all year round and has good rail, road and cycle links. In fact we offer a 50% reduction on the admission price if you arrive by bicycle. There is wheelchair access for disabled visitors—telephone us in advance if you would like assistance.35.What’s the main purpose of setting up the Centre for Alternative Technology?A.To provide people with relevant experience.B.To teach people how to reduce energy costs.C.To show the hard condition for early experiments.D.To encourage people to develop alternative technologies.36.According to the passage, visitors can .A.learn to create their own organic gardensB.appreciate the views of distant mountainsC.visit exhibitions of alternative technologiesD.enjoy woodland walks on the top of buildings37.Where is the passage most probably from?A.A literary essay.B.A research report.C.A historical novel.D.A science website.Learning to RunAn article published in the scientific journal Nature discusses an important aspect of human evolution. According to Bramble and Lieberman, Professors at the University of Utah, humans possess a number of features that make them surprisingly good runners. “We are confident that the selection for running was important in the origin of the human body form,” says Bramble.Traditional thinking has been that humans are poor runners compared to such animals as horses. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. Even an athlete can hardly run as quickly as a horse does, and can only keep up a top speed for 15 seconds or so. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans will do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their speed is at least at the same level with that of horses.Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 parts of human bodies. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament (韧带). When we run, it is this ligament that prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. Then there are Achilles tendons at the backs of our legs, forming the mechanical links between the muscles to the bones. They act like strong strings and help to push us forward when we run. Besides, we have low, wide shoulders, a development which allows us to run more effectively. Add to this our light forearms, which swing in co-operation with the movement of our legs to assist balance, and one begins to appreciate the point that Bramble and Lieberman are trying to make.But what advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? One theory is that this ability may have permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. Some scientists guess that early humans may have run after animals for great distances to make them tired before killing them. Running would also have shown another advantage: early humans might have eaten the meat left over from a kill by other large animals. They may have been warned of the existence of a freshly killed animal by vultures (秃鹰), and the faster they got to the scene of the kill, the better.“Research on the history of human ability of running has traditionally been controversial,” s ays Lieberman. “At the very least, I hope this theory will make many people have second thoughts about how humans learned to run and why we are built the way we are.”38.In Paragraph 2, the author mainly tells us that .A.humans are poor runners compared to horsesB.humans are good runners over long distancesC.humans may run at high speed for a short timeD.humans can keep a constant pace when running39.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that .A.tendons are a successful adaptation for runningB.strong muscles and bones keep running effectiveC.the shape of shoulders affects the position of headsD.humans can run faster if they have longer forearms40.What conclusion is drawn about early humans?A.They followed birds to avoid danger.B.They were unable to kill large animals.C.They developed their big brains for running.D.They evolved running due to the need for hunting.41.What does Lieberman mean by saying the underlined sentence?A.Proving that humans run in a comfortable position.B.Informing people of the reasons why humans may run.C.Expressing appreciation of the theory of human evolution.D.Making people reconsider the idea about our body structure.Why Mars (火星) is New SettlementIs it possible to live on other planets? The United States government is taking a serious look at the moon and Mars as potential places for future human settlement. The moon could serve as a training ground for later journeys to Mars. Currently, with Mars becoming the eventual long-term goal, serious questions exist as to whether the dangers of the settlement on the moon are too extreme and unnecessary.One major reason the settlement on the moon is too dangerous is the difference between the atmosphere environment of the moon and Mars. Atmosphere is important because it protects humans and all other life from a continuous attack of radiation (辐射) caused by sources such as the sun. This radiation is especially dangerous to humans because it increases the risk of cancer and can negatively change DNA.The fact that the moon has no atmosphere can cause great harm to human beings. Although Mars’ atmosphere is significantly thinnerthan Ear th’s, at least it has one and would create some sort of protective barrier for humans.Another important characteristic necessary for human settlement is natural resources like water, of which the moon is believed to have none. Mars, however, contains vast quantities of water ice, dry ice, and also snow. There is also sufficient evidence that water once existed at the surface of Mars and might return in the future if the planet warms. With increased technologies, the potential for settlers to remain on Mars by being increasingly self-sufficient makes Mars a much more attractive goal as the space settlement than the moon.Future settlers will not only benefit from potential water on Mars; the planet is also rich in other natural resources such as oxygen, hydrogen, and minerals, which can be well used in productive ways. For example, hydrogen can be used as fuel, and it can be combined with nitrogen (氮气) to form new materials necessary for human settlement. Due to these advantages,Mars would be a more successful planet for exploration and settlement because it contains the basic resources necessary for humans to survive.Since the environment of Mars is more similar to that of Earth and it contains resources necessary to help life exist, it should be the only option for any kind oflong-term human settlement. The settlement on Mars would not only be a milestone in space but also an excellent chance for mankind to improve itself from past adventures on Earth and preserve and make the best use of the natural resources Mars has to offer.42.According to Paragraph 2, the atmosphere on Mars would .A.change the DNA structure of humansB.measure the harmful radiation from spaceC.provide protection against dangerous effectsD.cause humans to be exposed to serious illnesses43.What can be inferred about water on Mars?A.It is not present in a liquid state.B.It doesn’t exist in large quantities.C.It will bring potential dangers to settlers.D.It can be easily changed into liquid forms.44.The author believes that .A.exploration of Mars takes great riskB.natural resources on Mars last foreverC.settlement on Mars is perfectly acceptableD.Mars is more suitable for settlement than Earth45.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionA.B.C.D.四、七选五Sports Fans and IdentityMany people are crazy about a particular sports team. They are big fans and seem to connect their own identity to their chosen team.Identity consists of things like gender (性别), personality, abilities, and social groups. The groups we belong to shape our identity. Related to this is the theory developed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner. 46.In knowing who we are, we may more closely identify with our social group than with our gender group. We also decide which group we belong to, based on different aspects of our identity. According to the theory, our self-esteem—how we feel about ourselves—is reflected in the group we belong to. 47.For example, we naturally protect the group we belong to, while making other groups less important. We think highly of the team we support, while we may add negative comments about an opposing team.Researchers have studied language used by sports fans. 48.By using pronouns li ke “w e”, fans show that they feel connected with the team when it is winning. “We really killed that team. They couldn’t get the ball pas t us.” However, when their team didn’t do well, the fans would distance themselves from the team, using different pronouns. “T hey didn’t know what they were doing. They had no planning.”49.They have found those fans have more self-confidence and feel more competent.They are quite sure they have the ability to deal with situations successfully or do things to a satisfactory standard. 50.These people will perform better at work and earn and spend more money, so experts suggest that a winning team may have a positive influence on the economy of a city.A.They suggested that we naturally classify people into groups.B.That causes increased competitions between different groups of sports fans.C.It is probably because the victory reflects well on their personal sense of identity. D.Comments from group members certainly have a strong influence on our behavior.E.When their team did well, the fans would closely identify themselves with the team.F.That leads to the fact that we want our group to be seen more positively than other groups.G.Social scientists have also studied the effect of winning a championship on the fans of the winning team.五、提纲类作文51.假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。
