四、阅读理解
In 1885,the Republic of France,important friend during the American Revolution,donated the largest statue in the world,Liberty Enlightening the World,to the United States of America.The statue would celebrate its century of independence.To ship it,the statue was broken down into 350 pieces.And now,spread across Bedloe’s Island in New York Harbour,it sat in 214 wooden packing boxes.The problem was that New York had no money to reassemble it.Six other cities,less affected by the recent economic decline,had the money and bid to build it.
D.To raise money for the Statue of Lib三段第一句中的“Pulitzer set the fund-raising goal”并结合第三至五段的内容可知,Pulitzer所做的努力 就是为自由女神像筹集资金。故D项正确。
Pulitzer set the fund-raising goal of the World at $100,000.In its pages he laughed at the rich,thus increasing the paper’s appeal among working-class people,and firmly planted th e idea that the statue wa s a monument not just for New York City but,indeed,for all of America.

高中英语(人教版)选修八Unit 1 A land of diversity reading课时作业2
Unit 1 A land of diversity reading课时作业请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ASome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen…At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.1．Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________．A．observing her school routine B．expressing her satisfactionC．impressing her classmates D．preserving her history2．What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?A．A dull night on the journey.B．The beauty of the great valley.C．A striking quotation from a book.D．Her concerns for future generations.3．What does the author put in her diary now?A．Notes and beautiful pictures.B．Special thoughts and feelings.C．Detailed accounts of daily activities.D．Descriptions of unforgettable events.BWe've reached a strange—some would say unusual—point.While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight.It's the good life that's more likely to kill us these days.Worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight.What's going on?We really don't have many excuses for our weight problems.The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by publichealth campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through—up to a point.In the 1970s, Finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause.Not any more.A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body.That has become a sort of fashion.No wonder it ranks as the world's most body-conscious country.We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another matter.By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise.More than half of us admit we lack willpower.Others blame good food.They say: it's just too inviting and it makes them overeat.Still others lay the blame on the Americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food.Some also blame their parents—their genes.But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they're normal in shape, or rather slim.It's a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight.Parents are eager to see their kids shape up.Do as I say—not as I do.4．What is the “strange”point mentioned in the first sentence?A．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.B．Starvation is taking more people's lives in the world.C．WHO report shows people's unawareness of food safety.D．Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO's efforts.5．Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?A．A lot of effective diet pills are available.B．Body image has nothing to do with good food.C．They have been made fully aware of its dangers.D．There are too many overweight people in the world.6．The example of Finland is used to illustrate ________．A．the cause of heart disease B．the fashion of body shapingC．the effectiveness of a campaign D．the history of a bodyconscious country 7．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Actions or Excuses? B．Overweight or Underweight?C．WHO in a Dilemma D．No Longer Dying of HungerCJaguar(美洲虎) was very rare. It was said that there less than 20 jaguars in the world, one of which was living in the national zoo of Peru. In order to help this jaguar, Peruvians set up a zoo for it, where there were sheep and deer for the jaguar to eat. However, strange enough, no one had ever seen the jaguar hunt the deer and sheep. What they could see was its lying in its cave, sleeping and eating the meat provided by the zoo keepers.At first, people thought that the jaguar felt too lonely, so they found a female tiger to accompany it. However, it did not make too much sense. The jaguar just sometimes went out of its cave with its “girlfriend” for a while before it came back to its house again' It is normal for the jaguar to be lazy here. Tiger is the king of forest but you simply put some small animals around him. That is why the jaguar shows no interest in going out' a visitor said. So people put five wolves into the jaguar's zoo. Since then, the jaguar did not go back to its cave any more . It either stands on top of the hill yelling or runs up and down the hill without sleeping all day long .Actually, one creature without any rivals is a lifeless creature. If a man lives without rivals, he is likely to be satisfied with the present and will not fight for the better. He will hold back before all difficulties. Hard environment tends to make successful people. Therefore, we need some rivals to push us to go ahead in all difficulties and competitions in our lives. Due to our rivals, we can bring out our potential to the best. Due to our rivals, we will continuously improve our abilities when competing with them!8.Why did Peruvians set up a zoo for the jaguar?A. To protect this endangered animal.B. To entertain people.C. To satisfy people's curiosity.D. To do some experiments.9.That the jaguar always lying in its cave leaves people an impression that __________.A. it must be treated badlyB. it must be seriously sickC. it must miss the forestD. it needs to be accompanied10. What happened to the jaguar after it got five wolves around?A. The jaguar remained the same.B. The jaguar became very energetic.C. The jaguar lost his girlfriend.D. The jaguar got mad finally.11.What does the underlined word "rivals" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Colleagues.B. Followers.C. Competitors.D. Relatives.DA woman came out of her house and saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.""Is the man of the house home?” they asked. "No", she replied, "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied.In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go to tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a house together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked.One of the old men explained that their names were Wealth(财富), Success and Love. Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed and he suggested inviting Wealth to fill their home with wealth. And his wife wanted to invite Success; but their daughter-in-law suggested they should invite Love so that their home would be filled with love. At last the husband said to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest."The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."Love got up and started walking toward the house.The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"12. The best title for this passage would be __________.A. A Woman and Three MenB. Wealth, Success and LoveC. A Strange Thing Happened to a WomanD. A Husband and his Wife13. The woman asked the three men to come in and have something to eat because _________.A. she was a warm-hearted womanB. they were her neighborsC. they asked her to doD. they were her friends14.

C__Your memory recall will be much better if you've had enough rest. In a scientific study, people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.Read the test through first.Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it is and all the parts you are expected to complete. This will allow you to estimate how much time you have for each section and ask the teacher any questions. __2. E__Focus on addressing each question individually.As you take the test, if you don't know an answer, don't worry about it. __3. A__Come back to it after you've answered other questions.Relax.__4. F__Of course you can't get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle(扭动)your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths, or picture yourself on a beach or some other calm places.Finished already?Although most teachers will let you hand in the test paper early, it's usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work. __5. G__On the other hand, if you have 5 minutes until the bell rings and you're still writing, wind up whatever you're working on without panicking.A．Instead, skip over the question.B．Listen closely to any instructions.C．Get enough sleep the night before the test.D．But some can get serious test-taking terror.E．If something seems unclear before you start, don't panic, but ask.F．If you're so nervous that you blank out, you might need a mini-break.G．You also can add details that you may not have thought you'd have time for.语篇解读：学生在考试时感到有些紧张是很正常的事情。

一、阅读理解(共8小题，每小题2分，共16分）AThink about the longest elevator ride that you’ve ever taken. Whether you rose five floors or 100, it probably took less than a few minutes. Now imagine riding in an elevator higher and higher as it climbs for nearly a day. When you reach the top floor, prepare for views that are really out of this world. You’ll be in space!Space elevators might sound like a crazy idea, but they’re something scientists have been working on for decades.Why would anyone want a space elevator? At the moment, riding in a capsule is the only way ordinary people can get to and from space. But those rides are very expensive — about $25 million per person per flight.Researchers are still figuring out the details about how a space elevator might work. One idea is stretching a very long cable — more than 37,000 kilometers — up to space from the earth’s equator (赤道). The location is important: Objects in space above the equator orbit the earth at the same speed that our planet turns. A weight on the end of the cable would stretch it tight. An elevator tied to the cable could use it to climb up and down.The only problem is that besides being long, this cable must also be very strong. Storms, including hurricanes might break it. One way to solve this problem is to stretchthe cable from the moon instead of from the earth. Airplanes designed to climb higher than a typical jet might take off from the earth and link up with the cable, which would be held in place by the pull of gravity from the earth. An elevator car waiting therewould then take riders the rest of the way to the moon. Fueled by solar power, theelevator could transport people and materials without much expense or effort per ride.So, when will you be taking your first space-elevator ride? Probably not for awhile.1. The first paragraph is presented by________. A. giving an example B. making a comparison C. asking questions D. analyzing causes2. Why have scientists been working on space elevators? A. To make trips to space cheaper. B. To help astronauts do research in space. C. To find a more convenient way to the moon. D. To prove an assumption which seems crazy.3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. the cable B. the equator C. an object in spaceD. a weight on the end of the cable此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号4. Which part of a magazine may the article appear in?A. Science and technology.B. Sports.C. Literature.D. Entertainment.BWithin five years, a woolly mammoth (猛犸象)will likely be cloned, according to scientists who have just recovered well-preserved bone marrow (骨髓) in a mammoth bone.Russian scientist Siemyon Grigoriev and his colleagues are now analyzing the marrow, which they obtained from the mammoth, found in Siberian soil. Grigoriev and his team, along with colleagues from Japan, have announced that they will start a joint research project aimed at recreating the enormous mammal, which went extinct around 10,000 years ago. Mammoths used to be a common sight in North America and Eurasia. Many of our distant ancestors probably had regular face-to-face encounters with the elephant-like giants.The key to cloning the woolly mammoth is to replace the nuclei of egg cells from an elephant with those extracted from the mammoth’s cells. Doing this, according to the researchers, can result in embryos with the mammoth’s DNA. That has actually been known for a while.What have been missing are the woolly mammoth’s nuclei with undam aged genes. Scientists have been on a search for such nuclei since the late 1990s. Now it sounds like the missing genes may have been found.In the course, global warming may be responsible for the breakthrough. Warmer temperatures tied to global warming have melted ground in eastern Russia that is almost always permanently frozen. As a result, researchers have found a fair number of well-preserved frozen mammoths there, including the one that produced the bone marrow.Is it such a good idea, however, to clone animals that have long been extinct? For a while there has been some discussion of a real-life Jurassic Park setup containing such animals. Introducing these beasts into existing ecosystems could be like bringing in a potentially invasive species that would try to fill some space presently held by other animals. Even if the cloned animals were contained in special parks, there could still be a risk of spreading.So if the woolly mammoth is successfully cloned sooner rather than later, we’d probably be left with more questions and arguments than answers, at least in the short term.5. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How to clone a woolly mammothB. The woolly mammoth — an ancient speciesC. The research made by Russian and Japanese scientistsD. A woolly mammoth to be cloned6. Which of the following can be the key factor in cloning a mammoth?A. To find a living mammoth in North America or Eurasia.B. To use nuclei from a mammoth’s egg cells to replace the nuclei in an elephant’s egg cells.C. To find out when and where woolly mammoths lived on the earth.D. To find out if an cient mammoths are distant ancestors of today’s elephants.7. Which of the following best describes the writer’s attitude towards the future of cloning a mammoth?A. Uncertain.B. Indifferent.C. Positive.D. Disappointed.8. From the passage, we can learn that ________.A. some other extinct species have been cloned successfullyB. the mammoth used to be a very common speciesC. the clone of mammoths should be banned by lawD. a woolly mammoth will be successfully cloned this year二、语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分）Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making ____1____ exact copy of another animal or plant. Cloning plants is straightforward while cloning animals is very complicated. The process of cloning is a difficult task ____2____(undertake). Many attempts to clone mammals failed. But finally the determination and patience of the scientists paid ____3____ in 1996 with a breakthrough-the cloning of Dolly the sheep.At first the fact ____4____ she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging. Then came the ____5____(disturb) news that Dolly had become seriously ill, which made cloning scientists cast down. Meanwhile, Dolly’s appearance raised a storm of ____6____(object) and had a great impact on the media and public imagination. ____7____(apparent) it became controversial. Although at present human egg cells and embryos ____8____(need)for cloning research are hard to obtain, newspapers wrote of evil leaders ____9____(hope) to clone themselves to attain their ambitions. Religious leaders also raised moral questions. Some countries reformed their legal systems and ____10____(forbid) research into human cloning, but others like China and the UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide.三、短文改错(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文, 请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

What happened to the flight's 239 passengers and crew after the plane left Kuala Lumpur on Saturday? It is becoming an increasingly desperate question as the days pass.But it's hardly the first mystery of its kind. Here are some half-solved and unsolved airline mysteries that kept investigators clueless for years.Air France Flight 447: An Airbus A330 flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris plunged into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. But it took a full five days for search and rescue teams to find the wreckage(残骸) and another three years for investigators to report that ice crystals had caused the autopilot to disconnect. The bodies of 74 passengers remain unrecovered.Amelia Earhart: Ace(王牌) pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared in her twin-engine monoplane Electra over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. No trace of her plane was ever found even after a multi-million dollar search effort, and Earhart was officially declared dead in 1939.Flying Tiger Line Flight 739: A U.S. military flight left Guam in 1962 with more 90 personnel headed for the Philippines, but it never arrived. The pilots never issued a distress call, and 1,300 people involved in the U.S. military search never found any trace of wreckage.British South American Airways: It took more than 50 years to find any trace of the 11 people aboard a 1947 flight that disappeared in the Andes Mountains. A pair of Argentinian rock climbers discovered engine wreckage in the Andes in 1998, and an army expedition later found human remains as well.Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571: A flight headed for Santiago, Chile carrying 45 passengers and crew crashed into the Andes Mountains in poor weather in 1972, killing twelve people. In the meantime, eight were killed in an avalanche(雪崩) that hit the plane's wreckage where they were taking shelter, and the rest stayed alive by eating the flesh of the dead before they were finally found more than two months after disappearing out of the sky.36. What can we learn from Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571?A. 12 people were lost until now.B. 25 people were rescued instantly.C. The rest who stayed alive killed 8 people.D. 8 were killed by a fall of a large mass of snow down a mountainside.37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Earhart was declared dead by the authorities two years later.B. The bodies of Flight 447 had all been found after three years.C. Two Argentinian rock climbers discovered the dead in the Andes.D. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was regarded as the largest air crash.38. The passage has been written to .A. introduce the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370B. explain how to avoid airplane disappearances as a pilotC. tell readers mysterious airplane disappearances in Aviation HistoryD. call on people to protect themselvesBMassachusetts today looks nothing like it did when the first English settlers arrived. Back in the 17th century, forest blanketed the land. Today, roads and towns cover much of the area. But the past is not dead and gone. Just an hour's drive from Boston lies Plymouth Plantation.There you'll experience the 17th century life from the days of the Pilgrims(清教徒移民). You can look in the Pilgrims' homes, watch the way they cook, and ask them about their daily life. You can even help them build houses or work in the fields.When you arrive at Plymouth, you are greeted with "How do you fare?" instead of "How are you?" In this living history plantation, actors portray(展现) real people of 17th century in Plymouth. Each actor has taken the identity of someone from that period.All the actors speak the language of Shakespeare. They're happy to talk about the hardships of their lives or just share the gossip of the day. But don't try to discuss modern topics. They won't understand what you are talking about!In fall, you can enjoy a harvest dinner very similar to the First Thanksgiving. You'll dine with your hands like Pilgrims. You'll find no pepper(胡椒粉) on the table. This expensive spice was used very sparingly(节俭地) in cooking. You'll find no last-course "dessert", either. At the time, people ate sweet dishes right along with the meal.Cranberries were on the menu then and still are today. A short distance from Plymouth, you can visit Cranberry World. At this unique museum, you'll see how cranberries are harvested and can taste different cranberry products.Of course, the First Thanksgiving included not only the Pilgrims, but also their Wampanoag guests. If you want to find out something about the Wampanoag, explore the recreated Wampanoag Homesite. It is just a short walk from Plymouth. Step into the Native American home and enter a different world. Native Americansdressed in 17th century Wampanoag outfits(全套服装) describe how their people lived 400 years ago. Outside, you can help make traditional boat or learn about native plant remedies.Much in Massachusetts has changed since the 17th century. But in Plymouth, the past lives on.39. What do you know about Plymouth Plantation?A. It is a cranberry plantation in Plymouth.B. It is where some old Pilgrims are still living.C. It presents the Pilgrims' lives in the 1600s.D. It is a plantation dating back to the 1700s.40. What can tourists do in Cranberry World?A. Harvest cranberries by yourself.B. Learn how to grow cranberries.C. Taste various cranberry products.D. Visit an old history museum.41. The purpose of the rebuilt of Wampanoag Homesite is to .A. protect Native Americans, the WampanoagB. attract more tourists to stay in PlymouthC. show how the Wampanoag helped the PilgrimsD. keep the 17th century Native Americans' life alive42. What is the best title for the passage?A. An Interesting Journey to PlymouthB. The Life of the PilgrimsC. A Journey to Plymouth's PastD. Life in the 17th CenturyCThe general Allotment Act, passed in 1887 by the United States Congress, was expected to help Native Americans. The Act called for breaking up tribal reservations(部落居留地) and turning them into family-sized farms. Each farm would be given to an individual Native American.The government thought that Native Americans would be better off if they forgot their tribal organizations and their tribal languages. The government expected Native Americans who owned land and farmed for a living to become more like other Americans. But it didn't work out that way. The Native Americans were used to living in tribal groups and sharing with each other. They had always thought of land as something that belonged to the whole tribe, rather than to individuals.With their families scattered on separate farms, many Native Americans were dissatisfied. The land they were given was often poor, and they hadn't the skill to farm it well. Poverty and poor health increased, while the Native American stuck to their old languages and customs. Eventually the government realized that the division of reservation land had made things worse rather than better for Native Americans.The Indian Reorganization Act, passed in 1943, reversed the government's policy. This Act said that all Native American land should be owned by tribes, rather than by individuals. The new Act encouraged tribalorganizations to take responsibility for running tribal affairs. The Act also provided money, which tribes could borrow to buy more land or to start business.Economic conditions have improved for Native Americans. Many tribes run successful manufacturing, mineral leasing, hotels and gambling business. Yet problems of unemployment and poor health still exist. Today Native Americans face a double challenge. They must continue to improve their economic and political position, while at the same time preserving their lands and cultural heritage.43. Why did the government want Native Americans to own land and farm for a living?A. It thought this would make Native Americans more like other Americans.B. It wanted to see if individual Native Americans would drop out of school.C. It wanted to see whether matters could become worse on the reservation.D. It thought all the land and farm should belong to Native Americans.44. Though it is not directly stated, the article suggests that .A. most people who owned land and farmed it were Native AmericansB. Native Americans were used to living on separate farmsC. the government did not quite understand Native American waysD. the customs of the Native Americans were harmful and uncivilized45. On the whole, the article tells us about .A. the good land that was given to Native AmericansB. the government's effort to help that didn't work outC. helping Native Americans on their reservationsD. breaking away from old customs of Native Americans46. Which statement does this article lead you to believe?A. The government wanted to break up family farms.B. Native Americans are very hard to deal with.C. New customs are always better than old ones.D. Old customs usually influence modern life.DSure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, "learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post Newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems , such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful stage in your life. You're like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive(敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.47. In the passage, the author mainly talks about .A. how to get along well with teachersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant48. "learning bursts right open" in the third paragraph really means .A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there'll be more problems with learningD. there'll be no problems with learning49. According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.B. You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.C. You have a good relationship with your teacher, so you can turn to him/her when in trouble.D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.50. Which of the comments in FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.四、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）A Brief History of SlaveryIt is said that the first known slaves lived more than five thousand years ago in the Sumerian society of what is now Iraq. 51. It expanded as trade and industry increased. This increase created a demand for the labor force to produce goods for export. Slaves did most of the work. Most ancient people thought of slavery as a natural condition that could happen to anyone at any time.52. Sugar was one of these things. Italians set up large sugar farms around the twelfth century. They used slaves from Russia and other parts of Europe to do the work. By the year of thirteen hundred, African blacks had begun to replace the Russian slaves. They were bought or caught from North African Arabs, who used them as slaves for years.By the 1500s, Spain and Portugal got American colonies(殖民地). The Europeans forced native Indians to work in large farms and mines in the colonies. 53. So the Spanish and the Portuguese began to bring in people from West Africa as slaves. France, Britain and the Netherlands did the same in their American colonies.54. That was not true in the early years of the American nation. Many Americans thought slavery was necessary. Yet owning slaves was common among rich people in the early 1700s.55. One example is the famous American diplomat (外交家), inventor and businessman Benjamin Franklin. He owned slaves for thirty years and sold them at his general store. But his ideas about slavery changed during his long life. Benjamin Franklin started the first schools to teach blacks and later argued for their freedom.A. Today, most people in the world see slavery as unfair.B. Most of the Indians died from European diseases and poor treatment.C. People who were rich enough to own many slaves became leaders in their local areas.D. In later times, slaves provided the labor needed to produce products that were in demand.E. Many of the leaders in the colonies who fought for American independence owned slaves.F. Slavery also existed among people in China, India, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas.G. By 1750, almost twenty-five percent of the total number of people in the American colonies were black slaves.五、作文（共1小题；共25分）56. 假设你是某旅行社的一名导游，请根据表格内容用英语向外宾介绍海南岛的基本情况。

Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Prereading 1．What are the advantages and disadvantages of cloning?2．Not only animals but also plants can be cloned. Do you know the difference between them?Please read the following passage to get the answer.A new study of plants that are reproduced by cloning has shown why cloned plants are not identical.Scientists have known for some time that cloned organisms are not always identical: their observable characteristics and traits can vary, and this variation can be passed on to the next generation. This is despite the fact that they are derived (获得) from genetically identical founder cells.Now, a team from Oxford University, the UK, and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia, believe they have found out why this is the case in plants: the genomes (染色体) of regenerate plants carry relatively high frequencies of new DNA sequence mutations (变异) that were not present in the genome of the donor plant.The team reported their findings in this week’s Current Biology.“Where these new mutations actually come from is still a mystery，” said Professor Harberd. “They may arise during the regeneration process itself or during the cell divisions in the donor plant that gave rise to the root cells from which the regenerate plants are created. We are planning further research to find out which of these two processes is responsible for these mutations. What we can sayis that nature has safely been employing what you might call a ’cloning’process in plants for millions of years, and that there must be good evolutionary reasons why these mutations are introduced.”The new results suggest that variation in clones of plants may have different underlying causes from those of variation in clones of animals — where it is believed that the effect of environmental factors on how animal genes are expressed is more important and no similar high frequencies of mutations have been observed.Professor Harberd said, “While our results highlight that cloned plants and animals are very different, they may give us insights into how bacterial and cancer cells replicate themselves, and how mutations arise during these processes which, ultimately, have an impact on human health.”Warming Up1．How much do are natural clone and manmade clone?Clone_is_a_way_of_making_an_exact_copy_of_another_animal_or_plant.Natural_clone_is_one_that_occurs_from_the_“parent”_in_a_natural_form_of_ cloning_without_human_help.Manmade_clone_is_one_produced_through_human_intervention_(介入)．2．Look at these pictures and tell which ones are natural clones and which ones are manmade clones.Natural_clones：AF；Manmade_clones：BCDE3．See another kind of clone.
