（每小题2分，共30分）（A）Students who want to enter Tsinghua University this year had better be able to swim or be prepared to learn swimming and pass a swim test.Liu Bo, head of the university's sports science and physical education division，said the university will organize a swimming test for all the freshmen in September, and those who fail to swim at least 50 meters using any stroke(姿势）will be required to a swimming course throughout their studies so that they are able to swim by the time they graduate, or the university won’t offer them a diploma."Although Tsinghua has a long tradition of sports, fewer students are exercising regularly, "Liu said. "It’s time to take action to ask students to exercise more to strengthen(加强）the sports culture."Why is the university linking swimming ability with degrees? “ As a survival skill, swimming is good for students in the long run, since swimming is helpful in improving students' endurance(耐力)and doing less harm to them as a water sport,” said Liu Bo.Many students of this university had to meet the swimming challenge. The famous writer Liang Shiqiu, entering Tsinghua University in 1915, failed the swimming test before his graduation, and he had to do his best at the make-up examination.

Liang Shiqiu graduated from Tsinghua University in 1915.（B）Human beings often have decided where they wanted to live based on the natural resources （资源）in the area. Natural resources are things that are useful to people and come from the earth. Materials for building shelter are natural resources. So are food sources such as fruits and vegetables, animals that could be caught or hunted and water.A region’s climate and landforms（地形）let certain things grow in different areas. They also determine（决定） which living things will be able to grow there. Areas with very rich soil make good farming communities（农耕区）. Poor soil may send farmers looking for better conditions. However, areas with poor soil may attract those who have other purposes for the land. Poor soil doesn’t matter if you want to build a factory or if the land has grass for ranching.Each area attracts people based on their interests and purposes. Areas that support many different interests will naturally have larger populations. While you may not think of the mountains, lakes, or oceans as natural resources, they are. Villages and cities built near water sources have been the most successful. People who want to catch fish for a living can do that by the ocean, but cannot in the desert. People living near water can use it to meet their daily needs.Places that are difficult to reach will naturally have fewer people living in them. Places that are high on mountain tops are not very desirable（值得向往的）to some people. Neither are places that are in the middle of hot, dry deserts.For too long, humans have destroyed resources. We have been using up those that cannot be easily replaced. Renewable（可再生的）resources are those that can be replaced easily. We are lucky to have many resources that are renewable, such as sun, wind, water and trees. We need to focus more on using renewable resources. This will protect our planet.（ )26.

The weather and landforms let certain things grow in different areas.B. Mountains, lakes or oceans are natural resources.C. People choose places to live according to interests and purposes.D.

By the river.（ )29.What is the best title for the passage?A. The natural resources.B.Protecting our planetC.

The largest kind of sea turtle can grow aslong as eight feet and weigh 1,500 pounds. Even the smallest kind, Kemp’s-Ridley, can growup to 28 inches long and weigh almost 100 pounds. Many other turtles are small enough tofit in your hand. Sea turtles stay in the water because they are safer there. They cannotpull their heads and feet into their shells like other turtles can. Sea turtles cannot hideinside their shells from other animals that want to eat them. They need to move quicklyto stay safe.When the weather turns warm, sea turtles leave the ocean to lay their eggs on the beach.This is the only time they will ever leave the water. Most other turtles spend part of thetime in water and part of the time on land. It is easy to understand why sea turtles stayin the water. Their ability to swim is greater than their ability to walk. Their heavy bodiesand unusual feet make it hard for them to travel on land. They are better adapted for lifein the water. They are well suited for life in the sea because of the way their bodies are made.The way their feet are made helps sea turtles swim very quickly. Their feet look likelong paddles(桨). When they swim, they flap their feet like a bird flaps its wings. This unusual way of swimming benefits sea turtles. It allows them to escape from their enemies.41.

The problems can make us feel unhappy. Worrying about our problems can affect how we do at school and influence the way we behave with our families. Here are three ways to deal with our problems.Firstly, by learning to forget. As an adult, we probably have been angry with others for many years about small problems. But the same things don't happen to children. （2）______they forget something unhappy quickly.Secondly, by regarding problems as challenges. Many students complain about school. Because they feel they have too much work to do or think some school rules are too strict. Education is an important part of our development. With the teacher's help, we should try our best to change the problems into challenges.Thirdly, by thinking of something worse. Stephen Hawking is one of greatest scientists.
