阅读下列短文，从每题所给的H个选项（A、B、C、和D）屮，选出授佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package: What food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!
Returning to the fannyard, the mouse declared the warning, "There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.
The chicken scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to
you, but it is of no consequence to me, 1 cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mouse trap in the house：“1 am so sorry, Mr. Mouse,"
sympathized the pig, "but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you arc in my prayers?9 The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, "A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?^
So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmer^ mouse trap alone・
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The
farmers wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness^ she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap
had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now
everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the fanner took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main
ingredient. His wifeys sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed
them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her
fimeral. The fanner had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it docs not concern you, remember that
when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
21.We could see from the passage that the mouse was _____ ・
A. kind and warm-hearted
B. well-informed
C・ good at cheating others D. foolish and rude
22.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The pig was comparatively less friendly than the others in the farmyard.
B.The mouse trap that the mouse discovered was not a practical one・
C・ The farmer and his wife trapped an evil snake that night
D.The farmer^ family was in fact poor and they had no friends.
23.The underlined word "ingredient^ (Paragraph 7) refers to ______ ・
A. the mouse
B. the pig
C. the snake
D. the chicken
24.What can we learn from the story?
A. Better safe than soriy・
B. Traps are usually well disguised・
C・ To help others is just to save you, D. To keep the balance of nature is the duty of us all.
B
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that
global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the fiiture. Some of the world's leading cities are
facing disasters like floods and heat waves.
London
London f s flood defenses are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水阐)has protected the city from the
threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years・ About 21 years later the bamer now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed・
There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London's flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.
Paris
Over a six-week period in July and August 2008, more than 11400一mainly elderly people 一died in France from dehydration （脱水）and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity （强度）are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?
One solution is to have air conditioners installed in elderly care homes・ But this is considered a short term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions.
In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building "Flower Tower，； which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air conditioner.
Shanghai
Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth .It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century・
An estimated 250,000 people move to H Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coal fired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.
25.What problem should he settled now in London?
A. How to protect the city's property.
B・ Where to build its flood defenses・
C.How to improve the function of the old flood defenses・
D.How to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city
26.Which of the following measures can't solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?
A. Putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo.
B・ Having air conditioners installed in elderly care homes・
C・ Encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.
D.Forbidding the city to build "Flower Towe"
27.The major threats to Shanghai are ____ ・
A.increasing population and coal fired power stations
B.rising sea levels arid typhoons
C.extremely high temperature and rising sea levels
D.extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons
2& The purpose of the passage is _____ •
A. to tell us how to protect the big cities
B・ to give advice on how to defend natural disasters
C.to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities
D.to explain what causes flood and heat waves
c
Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with・ It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals・ A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense・ He may have dreams but he docs not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can really get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground・
The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground・ But the opposite is riot always true. Someone with both feel on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we arc realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives arc like the ground below us, solid and strong ・
29.If a person has his nose in the air, he _____ ・
A. is down to the earth B・ thinks himself easygoing
C・ thinks himself superior D. is confident with work
30.Sharp words from a teacher can usually help a daydreaming student _______ ・
A. concentrate on his lessons.
B. put his feet back on the playground
C・ block his knowledge of what is real
D・ have a good understanding of the reality
31.From the passage, we can infer the person who is ______ is the most popular kind of person.
A. down-to-earth B・ standing on the ground
C・ with his nose in the air D. with his head in the clouds
Danish scientists studied more than 1,000 healthy joggers and non-joggers
over a 12-year period. Those who jogged at a steady pace for less than two and a
half hours a week were least likely to die in this time. But thos e who ran more
than four hours a week or did no exercise had the highest death rates.
Analyzing questionnaires filled out by all the people in the study, scientists concluded the ideal pace was about 8km/h and that it was best to jog no more than three times a week or for 2.5 hours in total. People who jogged more closely -particularly those who jogged more than three times a week or at a pace of more than 11 km/h——were as likely to die as those who did no exercise・
Researcher Jacob Louis Marott, from the Frederiksberg Hospital in Copenhagen, said, “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health."
And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much・ No exercise recommendations across the world Mention an upper limit for safe exercise, but perhaps there is one・
Scientists arc not yet sure what is behind the tread but they say changes to the heart during extreme exercise could contribute. In then report, they suggest: “ Long-term strenuous exercise may change pathological （病理的）structure of the heart and arteries （动脉）
Maureen Talbot, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said, 'This study shows that you don't have to run marathons to keep your heart healthy5
”Light and moderate jogging was found to he more beneficial than being inactive or undertaking strenuous jogging, possibly adding years to your lifb「
”National guidelines recommend we do 140 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week." H If it may sound like a lot for you, brisk walking （快走）is also a good exercise・ And if youre bit of a couch potato, this is a good place to start.
32.From paragraph one, wc could know _____ .
A. the study took 10 years
B・ more than 1000 joggers took part in the study
C・ people with no exercise had the highest death rates
D.joggers and non-joggers are likely to die

W: Yes, I think so. I mean, the work won't be very interesting. It'll be mostly my hours are seven till ten in the morning and five till nine in the evening, so Ell have plenty of time during the day to go walking.
M: I wish I could get a job like that. How did you find out about it?
W: I read about it in a book called Summer Work Round Britain. It tells you about all kinds of different jobs in different places・ You can work on farms picking fruits, or at hotels near the sea. You can even get work at music festivals. (Text 10)
M: We are lucky to have in the studio today, Molly Taylor. Molly is arranging an activity course for the summer holidays. Molly, this is the second year of the course, isrf t it?
W: Yes, that's right. The summer course operated last year for a six-week period. We did think about making it longer this year and have a seven-week course, as some schools finished term a week earlier・ But in the end wcdccidcd to keep to the same plan as last year・ And wc were actually very surprised last year by the number of people interested in the course・ We didn^t actually have enough workers to look after all the children who wanted to attend and we had to turn people away .There was such a lot of rain that we had to organize art and music activities indoors・ This year we also considered providing some more exciting adventure sports like rock climbing and caving. We decided not to, in the end, because it would make the course a lot more expensive for parents・ Instead, wc'rc introducing some fun projects- For example, wclc going to put on a talent show and organize an American Night. I think it will be good fun for the kids, and for us to teach them good skills too. As parents, you should go to my website, .summeractivities, co. uk and print out an application form. Send it to my office address as soon as possible, because the places are going fast. We do need to know if the child bus any special need regarding his diet.。
