This article explores the impact of technology on education and discusses both the advantages and challenges it brings.Advantages1.Access to InformationThe internet has made information easily accessible to students. They can now access a vast range of resources online, which can help them broaden their knowledge and understand complex concepts.2.Interactive LearningDigital tools such as online forums, video conferencing, and educational apps have made learning more interactive.

It helps burn calories and build muscle mass.7.Increased Self-Esteem: Regular exercise can boost self-confidence and self-esteem, which are important for personal development.8.Reduction in Chronic Diseases: Engaging in regular physical activity can reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers.Now, read the passage and answer the following questions:1、What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A.

Every summer,we would spend hours working in the garden, watering plants, picking ripe fruits, and harvesting vegetables. It was a time filled with laughter and joy.One day, my father decided to build a greenhouse in the garden. He believed that having a greenhouse would allow us to grow more plants throughout the year. With the help of my mother and me, he started to build it. It took us several days, but finally, the greenhouse was ready.The greenhouse was a great success. We were able to grow plants even in winter. It was amazing to see the flowers blooming and the vegetables growing in the cold season. However, we soon realized that the greenhouse needed constant care. The plants had to be watered regularly, and we had to clean the greenhouse to prevent pests and diseases.One day, I noticed that some of the plants in the greenhouse were not doing well. They were wilting and losing their leaves. I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight. The thick glass of the greenhouse blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the plants.To solve the problem, my father built a small window on the side of the greenhouse. The window allowed sunlight to enter the greenhouse, and the plants started to thrive again. From that day on, we made sure to keep the window open during the day to provide the plants with enough light.The greenhouse not only extended our growing season, but it also brought us closer as a family. We learned the importance of teamwork and hard work. Itwas a wonderful experience that I will always remember.Complete the following passage by choosing the most appropriate word or phrase from the options given below.I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and (A) explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight.

"The fight against cyberbullying is like a war, and in this war I am a fearless fighter," Sadat Rahman said during a ceremony on November 13 in The Hague, the Netherlands. He added, "If everybody keeps supporting me, then together we will win this battle against cyberbullying."Rahman developed a mobile phone application that provides education about online bullying and a way to report cases of it.

The group chooses projects to support causes that are closely linked to the winner's work.Past well-known winners of the prize include Pakistani human rights activist Malala Yousafzai and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

The Red Delicious apple is likely to lose its title as the most popular apple this year, which it held for more than half a century. The U.S. Apple Association is projecting, that the Gala apple will usurp（夺取）the Red Delicious for the top spot.The group, which advocates on behalf of 7,500 apple growers and 400 companies in the apple business, predicted that the U. S. would grow 52.4 million Gala apples in 2018, up 5.9 percent from a year earlier. Red Delicious apple production is expected to fall 10.7 percent to 51.7 million.Consumers apparently like the Gala's "taste, texture（口感）and sweetness," the U.S. Apple Association said in a statement. "The rise in production of newer varieties of apples aimed at the fresh consumption domestic market has caused demand for the Red Delicious to decline." said Mark Seetin, the association's director of regulatory and industry affairs.The Granny Smith, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples are expected to rank third, fourth and fifth. The association predicted that within a year or two the Honeycrisp may pass the Granny Smith and Fuji, jumping into third place. The production of the apple rose 21.8 percent to 23.5 million this year. That puts it ahead of the Golden Delicious apple for the first time. The Honeycrisp was created by the University of Minnesota's apple breeding（培育）program only 21 years ago. It typically costs more than its competitors.Until the 1970s, Americans had only a few choices of apples. While the Golden Delicious offered a color contrast and the Granny Smith brought tartness（酸味）to the table, the Red Delicious was the star, heavily promoted by Washington state growers. Then wholesalers began looking for tastier varieties, finding them overseas in Japan, home to the Fuji, and New Zealand, which had the Braeburn and Gala.（1）How does the author prove Americans' preference for the Gala?A.By using statistics.B.By listing examples.C.By explaining causes.D.By presenting research findings.（2）What do we know about the Honeycrisp?A.It is sour in flavor.B.It is light in color.C.It is gaining popularity.D.It is losing its price advantage.（3）Which of the following comes from New Zealand?A.The Fuji.B.The Honeycrisp.C.The Braeburn.D.The Granny Smith.（4）What does the text mainly tell us?A.Why Americans eat apples from different countries.B.How different apples are becoming popular in America.C.How American farmers choose their apple growing types.D.Why the Red Delicious was Americans' favorite for 50 years.causal inferences rather than simply finding patterns. "At some point—you know, if you're intelligent—you realize maybe there's something else out there," he says.【长难句分析】1.

Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and news—I read them all and I’ve learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we don’t like or understand them.Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit.No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. It’s just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. It’s like exploring through someone’s eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie.Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we don’t exercise it often. Reading can even be good for one’s health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud! 9．Among the gifts my parents have given me, which is the most valuable one?A．A love for reading. B．Picture books.C．Good health. D．A lovable pastime.10．In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can ____.A．make his parents happy B．finish his school workC．improve writing and broaden knowledge D．help him understand some movies 11．If we don’t use our imagination often, ____.A．it is bad for our health B．we will soon learn how to writeC．it will help us to have a good rest D．it will soon disappear12．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Why do I have few friends? B．What are my life habits?C．Why do I love reading? D．Why do things happen for the best?【答案】9．A10．C11．D12．CAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied circumstances. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact thatpeople who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.13．.Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Para. 1?A．To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B．Intelligence is developed by the environment.C．Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D．Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.14．It is suggested in this passage that________.A．close relations usually have similar intelligenceB．unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceC．the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD．people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence15．In Para. 1, the word "circumstances" means________.A．intelligence B．lifeC．environments D．housing16．The best title for this article would be________.A．On IntelligenceB．What Intelligence MeansC．We are Born with IntelligenceD．Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence【答案】13．D14．B15．C16．AEnglish ConversationLeader：Mandi Ashmore english @ We meet on Mondays at 14：30 at the IWC clubhouse.

I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light？” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness; perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. “Do you have kids？” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.24．What had happened to the man before?A．He had been badly treated.B．He had killed someone.C．He had been searched.D．He had been forbidden to get in touch with anyone.25．Why did the man want to smoke cigarettes?A．Because he was sure he was to be killed.B．Because he wanted to ease his nervousness.C．Because he wanted to talk to the guard.D．Because he was used to smoking cigarettes.26．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The man was a heavy smoker.B．The man smiled to please the guard.C．The guard set the man free with permission.D．The man hadn't thought the guard would set him free.27．What do you think finally saved the man's life?A．The smile. B．The cigarette.C．The tears. D．The wallet.【答案】24．C25．B26．D27．ARemembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it．Recite and repeat in conversation．When you hear a person's name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．Ask the other person to recite and repeat．You can let other people help you remember their names．After you've been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you're making to learn their names．Admit you don't know．Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say，"I'm working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again？"Use associations．Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note："Vicki Cheng…tall，black hair．"To reinforce（加强）your associations，write them on a small card as soon as possible．Limit the number of new names you learn at one time．When meeting a group of people，concentrate on remembering just two or three names．Free yourself from remembering everyone．Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names．Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names．Last names can come later．Go early．Consider going early to conferences，parties and classes．Sometimes just a few people show up on time．That's fewer names for you to remember．And as more people arrive，you can hear them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you．28．If you can't remember someone's name，you may ______ ．A．tell him the truth B．tell him a white lieC．ask him for pity D．ask others to help you29．When you meet a group of people，it is better to remember ______ ．A．all their names B．a couple of names firstC．just their last names D．as many names as possible30．What does the text mainly tell us？______A．Tips on an important social skill．B．Importance of attending parties．C．How to make use of associations．D．How to recite and repeat names．【答案】28．A29．B30．ADon’t you just hate it when you have to take an important phone call but you’re surrounded by potential eavesdroppers (偷听者)? You either have to whisper or go outside to keep the conversation private, which does not feel good. Now Hushme aims to fix this problem by muffling your voice and making you look like Bane in the film Batman.Hushme is a strange high-tech mask (口罩) that blocks the sound of the wearer’s voice so that people nearby can’t hear what is being said. It connects to your phone via Blucetooth and comes with a pair of earphones. When you get a private call, all you have to do is put the mask on and it will do the rest. The pair of thick pads over your mouth does a good job of muffling your voice, but to ensure nothing gets through. Hushme also has speakers that play a variety of sounds when you speak.The Hushme mask, which comes in a variety of colors, can be worn around the neck, like a regular pair of earphones, and attaches in front of your mouth thanks to a couple of very powerful magnets (磁铁). It’s not yet clear how comfortable spea king with thisBane-like mask over your mouth really is, or how effective its speech muffling ability is, so we know so far is that it makes you look strange. The sound choices for covering your voice currently include wind, ocean, rain, birds, monkey, but new ones could be added in the future.Advertised as the “world’s first voice mask for mobile phones’. Hushme was showed at CES. At the becoming of this year. Its makers plan to sell it by the end of this year. It will cost about $200.31．Why does the author mention Bane in the first paragraph?A．To show what Hushme looks likeB．To tell eavesdropping is impoliteC．To encourage readers to buy HushmeD．To say Hushme will be popular in the future32．What does the underlined word “muffling” in Paragraph 1 m ean?A．Blocking. B．Recognizing.C．Changing. D．Remembering.33．What is certain about Hushme?A．Its popularity. B．Its appearance.C．Its high standard for comfort. D．Its speech muffling ability.34．What can we know about Hushme?A．It can be bought in the market now.B．Its price is neither too high nor too low.C．Its speakers will be improved in the future.D．Its makers are confident about its market sales.【答案】31． A32． A33． B34． CThere are several ways from which to choose for you to keep your kids safe in your neighborhood. But the first step to keep your child safe in your neighborhood is to know your neighbors.Knowing your neighbors can save you a lot of worry. It lets you know that the car that has just driven down the street belongs to “the yellow house on the corner”, or the truck that has just driven by the playground looks unfamiliar, but the guy in the passenger seat resides two doors down. It’s these simple things that keep you from going_out_of_your_mind whenever you see someone driving by where children are playing.But you shouldn’t just know what they look like. The next step is to know them well. What do they do？How do they act？You might be OK with them driving by the playground since they live in the neighborhood, but are you OK with them being on the playground? Knowing your neighbors solves several things. First you find out what kind of people they are. This helps you know if you should let your child go out in an area where they gather. Let us fac e it: you do not want your child to play around people or people’s children that curse (咒骂) or hit each other. Sometimes you have to protect your child against your own neighbors.Knowing them also makes them know you. Being neighbors is an interesting thing. You might not like them or have the same views as them, but we all usually protect those that we consider our own. If you know your neighbors, they know you. They are more likely to look after the child of the nice lady down the street in the brick (砖) house, than the people, in the house on the corner, who no one ever sees.35．This passage is mainly to tell us________.A．how to keep your child safe in the neighborhoodB．how to set a good example to your neighborsC．how to get along with your neighborsD．how to teach your child to protect himself36．If someone resides two doors down, he________.A．studies at the same school with your kidB．often comes to the neighborhood to offer helpC．lives in the same neighborhood as youD．likes driving the truck around the neighborhood[37．The underlined phrase “going out of your mind” in Paragraph 2 probablymeans________.A．becoming very excitedB．becoming very worriedC．becoming very disappointedD．becoming very relaxed38．From the third paragraph we can know that________.A．it is important for you to be polite to your neighborsB．people in the same neighborhood are quite differentC．people like enjoying themselves on the playgroundD．knowing your neighbors helps to keep your kids safe【答案】35．A36．C37．B38．DI moved to Chicago ten years ago.

What is the cause of this rise?Most of these singers have taken music as a“job” because it is a good source of making money.And if you have a good appearance and also expensive clothes to show off at your concerts or at different appearances in public, then your voice is not as important as it should be.The public will prefer to admire more the most interesting parts of your body，whether you are a girl or a boy.They will even forget about the fact that you are there to show your musicskills ，not your dancing，which is important too，but not at such a high level.Therefore，we can see many young girls on TV who look very good but who have nothing to do with music.They choose to wear very provocative(挑逗性的)clothes to catch attention，but when it comes to singing they are a complete mess and one doesn't need to have an ear for music to notice their lack of talent.But anyway，they have concerts and they enjoy travelling from one place to another.It is the public's fault because they accept this and are pleased with this commercial music.People who enjoy this kind of music are generally young people while adults prefer listening to old good bands.However，the young generation should understand while appearance is important，it is less important than talent and a good voice.If somebody has a great voice and wants to become a singer，he should take some special courses in this area，because they will help him improve singing abilities.59．The passage shows that many singers consider music as_____.A．an art serving the publicB．a good way of making moneyC．a way of living fullyD．a fashionable lifestyle60．From the passage we can learn that____.A．appearance is the most important thing in the world of musicB．all people who have received training in singing can become famousC．adults should help young people improve their abilitiesD．a singer's talent and voice are the most important factors61．What do you think is the author's attitude towards the rising number of new singers and bands？A．Critical. B．Supportive.C．Tolerant. D．Worried.62．What kind of article does this passage belong to？A．Entertainment. B．Sport.C．Comment. D．Story.【答案】59．B60．D61．A62．AThe four theme parks below offer the most thrilling (刺激的) rides and attractions in the world.Busch Gardens WilliamsburgLocated (位于) in Virginia, USA, this theme park has some of the highest-rated thrill rides in the world.

Fred Epstein ,in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes ,Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. ”Maybe I could go as Superman ,”he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume（戏装），finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein putsit ,”If you can dream it, you can do it”It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, nexttime you are texted in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it .Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.67．What do we know about Tom?A．He was seriously ill B．He was a dishonest boy.C．He was crazy about magic D．He w as Dr.Epstein’s patient68．What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?A．She was a rich lady B．She refused Tom’s requestC．She wanted Tom to be a superhero D．She wanted to get Tom through the pain 69．When Tom went for the third operation,he .A．pretended to be painful B．acted like a superheroC．appeared in poor spirit s D．argued with his mother70．In the last paragraph, you are advised .A．to go through some difficult testsB．to wake up from your wild dreamsC．to become a powerful person in your mindD．to wear expensive clothes for job interviews71．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell us an interesting story.B．To help us make right decisions.C．To advise us to care about children.D．To encourage us to use our imagination.【答案】67．A68．D69．B70．C71．DBritish children’s writer Roald Dahl ate chocolates and sweets “pretty much every mealtime”, remembers daughter Ophelia Dahl.After dinner, whether dining alone or entertaining guests, Dahl would pass around a little。

For many people today, reading is no longer a relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines：a never-ending flood of words. In_31__a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend__32__can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are__33_readers. Most of us develop poor reading__34__at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency__35__in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have_36__meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs._37__，however, the untrained reader does not read groups ofwords. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing(退回)to__38_words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over_39_you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which_40_down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or metally as__41__reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an_42_，which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined(预先确定的)speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate_43__the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch”him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast，_44__word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization(默读)practically impossible. At first__45__is sacrificed for speed.

Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting and cheering for one side or the other.One of the most surprising things about football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has photos of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you proudly who he expects will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.Most schools in England take football much more seriously than nearly all European schools. It is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy's mind with facts in a schoolroom; education also means character training; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially teams, where the boy has to learn to work with others. Football is a good team game.51．Football is the most popular game in England because ________.A．all the people like itB．even the smallest child has a good knowledge of the gameC．most school take football seriouslyD．all of the above52．In England, it is believed that education means ________.A．only filling a child's mind with facts in classroomB．only training a child's characterC．not only filling a child's mind with facts in class, but also training the child's character out of classD．giving a child football lessons53．Which facts show that even the smallest child has a good knowledge of the game?A．He can tell you the names of the players in most important teams.B．He has photos of the players.C．He can tell you the results of a lot of matches.D．All of the above.54．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A．Almost everyone in England has a good knowledge of the game.B．No girls have such a good knowledge.C．Most schools in Europe take football seriously.D．Only the small boys have a good knowledge of the football game.BMan always wanted to fly. For hundreds of years they watched birds flying and wished that they could fly too. Birds fly very easily. Then they spread (展开) their wings and float (漂浮) on the air. The air keeps them up. Men knew how to make kites hundreds of years ago. Kites could stay in the air for many hours. “If birds and kites can stay up in the air, perhaps we can，”they thought.At first they made wings like birds. Then they jumped off high buildings in order to fly. Many men did this but they all failed. After many failures (失败) they stopped trying to fly with wings. Then two brothers tried another way. They tried balloons (气球). “Hot air is lighter than cold air，”they said. That is why hot air goes upwards. If we fill a balloon with hot air, it will go upwards.After many experiments, they made two men go up in a balloon full of hot air. A great crowd of people watched. The balloon rose to a height (高度) of 900 metres. The wind blew it along for nine kilometres. Then it came gently back to earth. For the first time man travelled through the air!55.. Hundreds of years ago men realized that ________.A．birds fly easily because there is airB．birds fly easily because they are smallC．birds fly easily because they have wingsD．birds fly easily because they are light56．When some men tried to fly with wings, ________.A．only a few of them succeededB．only the two brothers succeededC．many of them succeededD．none of them succeeded57.．Balloons seemed not a good way to travel because ________.A．they went too highB．they went too lowC．they were too bigD．they were not easy to operate58.．Which of the following is NOT true?A．The first balloons were filled with hot air.B．The first successful flight of man succeeded in controlling by himself perfectly (完美地)．C．The balloon carrying people for the first time landed (降落) safely.D．The first flight (飞翔) of man doesn't seem to have much to do with (与……很多关系) their final success.CSome scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes and sounds made by animals themselves.Decibels(分贝)measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of onehundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud noises can seriously injure some animals.The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing.This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way.Some of the whales even died.The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected(感染)．Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels.They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.59．According to passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?A．The man-made noises.B．The noises made by themselves.C．The sound of earthquakes.D．The sound of the ice-breaking.60．Which of the following is discussed in the second paragraph?A．Different places with different types of noises.B．The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.C．The decibels measured differently on land and in the ocean.D．The ocean animals' reaction to noises.61．We can know from the the passage that many scientists think that the noise limit of one hundred twenty decibels would ________.A．prevent them from doing their research workB．benefit them a lot in their research workC．do good to their healthD．increase the industrial output62．According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?A．They will try their best to decrease noise.B．They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.C．They will study the effect of different noises.D．They will protect animals from harmful noises.DTwo studies are suggesting that some overweight people do not face an increased risk of developing heart disease. Researchers also found that some individuals of normal body weight have an increased risk of the disease.Being overweight does increase your risk of medical problems, but the studies found that not all heavy people are less healthy than thin people.In one study, American researchers examined medical records from over 5000 men and women. Each person had taken part in a separate study from 1999 to 2004. The searchers found that about 51% of them were overweight or obese. About 32% were obese, but considered metabolically(关于新陈代谢的)healthy. This means they had no evidence of problems in tests for high blood pressure or other factors linked to heart disease. However, more than 23% of people who were at a healthy weight were unhealthy in two or more aspects Judith Wylie-Rosett helped carry out the American study. She says the finding show that all obese person can still be healthy. She believes that having body fat is not as important as where the fat is found on body. It's reported that two-thirds of Americans are considered overweight or obese.A second study is suggesting that fat in the liver(肝)may be an important health risk. Norbert Stefan and his team closely examined 314 people.They measured how much body fat each person had, and where it was on the body. To do this ，they used medical imaging tests. They discovered that obese people could have healthy hearts. Their results suggest that fat in the liver is more dangerous than fat in other areas.The results of both studies were published recently in the Archi v es of Internal Medicine.Professor Wylie-Rosett says the findings don't mean that people shouldn't be concerned about obesity. Experts say there are several diseases linked to obesity that make it more dangerous to be fat than thin. They say people should see their doctor to learn what health risks they may be facing and what behaviours should be changed to improve health.63．What was found in 23% of the healthy people examined?A．No factors linked to heart disease.B．They were unhealthy in two or more aspects.C．High blood pressure.D．No evidence of problems.64．Professor Wylie-Rosett agrees that people should________.A．avoid becoming obeseB．not worry about becoming obeseC．worry about becoming thinD．not be afraid of several diseases65．The underlined word“obese”in the third paragraph probably means “________”．A．being too thin B．being healthyC．being too fat D．being unhealthy66．The text is mainly about evidence that some people can________.A．be both fat and healthyB．develop heart diseaseC．increase weightD．have too much fat in the liverEWhat we today call American folk art was, indeed, art of,by and for ordinary, everyday “folks”who, with increasingprosperity and leisure(闲暇)，created a market for art of allkinds, and especially for portraits. Citizens of prosperous,essentially middle-class republics—whether ancient Romans,17th century Dutch people, or 19th century Americans—havealways shown a marked taste for portraiture. Starting in the late eighteenth century, the United States contained increasing numbers of such people, and of the artists who could meet their demands.The earliest American folk art portraits come, not surprisingly, from New England—especially Connecticut and Massachusetts—for this was a wealthy and populous region and the center of a strong craft tradition. Within a few decades after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the population was pushing westward, and portrait painters could be found at work in western New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri.Midway through its first century as a nation, the United States' population had increased roughly five times, and eleven new states had been added to the original thirteen. During these years the demand for portraits grew and grew, eventually to be satisfied by the camera. In 1839 the photograph taken by an early photographic process was introduced to America, announcing the age of photography, and within a generation the new invention put an end to the popularity of painted portraits. Once again an original portrait became a luxury(奢侈品)，commissioned by the wealthy and executed(执行)by the professional.But in the time of greatest prosperity of portrait painting—from the late 18th century until the 1850's—anyone with small amount of artistic ability could become a limner，as such a portraitist was called. Local craftspeople—sign, coach, and house painters—began to paint portraits as a profitable sideline(副业)；sometimes as talented man or woman who began by sketching family members gained a local reputation and was besieged(包围)with requests for portraits; artists found it worth their whole to pack their paints, canvases, and brushes and to travel the countryside, oftencombining house decorating with portrait painting.67．In Paragraph 1 the author mentions 17th century Dutch people as an example of a group that________.A．consisted mainly of self-taught artistsB．appreciated portraitsC．influenced American folk artD．had little time for the arts68．According to the passage, where were many of the first American folk art portraits painted?A．In western New York.B．In Illinois and Missouri.C．In Connecticut and Massachusetts.D．In Ohio.69．How much did the population of the United States increase in the first fifty years following independence?A．It became three times larger.B．It became five times larger.C．It became eleven times larger.D．It became thirteen times larger.70．The author implies that most limners________.A．received instruction from travelling teachersB．were womenC．were from wealthy familiesD．had no formal art training第四部分书面表达（共两节，满分40分）第一节完成句子（共十小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）71._________(暴露在)the sun for too long will get you sunburnt in summer.
