第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A
The mysterious sailing stones of Death Valley have been discovered to walk on their own over the valleys.The dry salt lake of Death Valley is the running place of the moving stones.The sailing stones are of different shapes and weights.But they all leave a long line behind them.What causes the stones to walk?
Glands Sharp explained the mystery after years of study.He chose 30 common stones in Death Valley and marked each of their beginning places to see whether they could move.A year later，except two stones，all had moved.Sharp studied the lines of the stones and the climate during the year.He came up with the conclusion that their moving was the result of the wind and rain.
The bottom of the dry salt lake is solid （坚硬的）because of little rain all year around，while the surface of it is covered with a kind of soil which becomes very slippery （滑的）even with a little rain.And the wind is strong enough to let the stones walk through the smooth ground to leave a line behind them.And the dry climate makes the line stay for a long time.
However，others are sceptical about Sharp's explanation.They think if the wind moves them，they should leave parallel （平行的）lines.But the 28 stones move in different directions.Sharp says that was caused by the grade of wind force and the weight of the stone.A very strong wind can make all the stones move in the same direction，but a less strong wind from another direction can only move stones with less weight，and so makes them turn their way of moving.
36．Glands Sharp marked the beginning places of the 30 stones to______.
A．see whether they would change their places
B．record the changes of their possible shapes
C．learn about the wind directions that moved them
D．find out their moving speed in the following year
37．What allows the stones in Death Valley to walk?
A．The sunshine and the wind.
B．The wind and the temperature.
C．The wind and rain.
D．The sunshine and rain.
38．What makes the bottom of the dry salt lake solid?
A．Too much salt in it. B．The shortage of water.
C．The smooth ground. D．The cold climate.
39．The last paragraph shows us that______.
A．Sharp needs further findings to support his explanation
B．stones with heavy weight won't move even in a strong wind
C．some stones can move in the opposite direction of the wind
D．the stones will move in the same direction if the wind is strong enough
B
Coal mine accidents are frequently headline makers in China, offering a plentiful supply of long lists of the dead. Before this, five major coal mine accidents since January have already claimed lives of 287 coal miners. Once an accident happens, the safety measures are scrutinized，officials and owners responsible are punished or warned or fined.But the accidents keep happening time and again. The background of these endless disasters is a country thirsty for energy to satisfy the appetite of its economic engine.
With the rich reserve （储藏）of coal and relatively limited petroleum （石油）reserve, the former makes up 67.12 percent of energy consumption.By contrast，Petroleum and natural gas hold about 60 percent of the energy consumption in other countries.
Such a situation is unlikely to change within a foreseeable future because the country still counts heavily on coal for more and more energy.If no measures with great effects are taken to improve the safety in the mines，the accidents will remain a long-term headache for China．Digging coal underground is，by its nature，a dangerous job.No equipment can guarantee 100
percent safety for the miners working underground because numerous uncertainties exist.
Most of China's coal mines are far from being mechanized.The average output of coal for each Chinese coal miner every day is 1 ton，while the number in the US coal mines，where the production is highly mechanized，is 40 tons.
Mechanized production in coal mines can cut down the number of miners who have to work on the dangerous coal-face.It can also enhance the capability of the mines to detect potential danger.In this way the casualty of mine accidents will be decreased.
Admittedly，the mechanized production demands financial support.
But what is the price of a life，or a dozen，a score，a hundred？Compare these awful figures with the misery they bring，heavy investment is worthy.
40．The writer's attitude towards dealing with coal mine accidents is______.
A．critical B．sarcastic
C．optimistic D．pessimistic
41．The underlined word “scrutinized”most probably means______.
A．made B．examined
C．criticized D．discussed
42．According to the writer，the best way to stop coal mine accidents is to______.
A．perfect safety measures
B．use more natural gas
C．cut down the number of miners
D．improve mechanized production
43．The writer implies in the article that______.
A．by improving mechanized production，we can stop coal mine accidents
B．it's improper to depend too much on coal for energy consumption
C．officials and coal mine owners doesn't take safety measures seriously
D．losing lives costs much more than improving mechanized production
C
HONG KONG—A region in northwest China battling floods and landslides braced （做准备，防备）for more rain on Thursday as the chances of finding people buried underneath mud and rubble （碎石，碎砖）appeared to be fading.
Moderate rain fell on Wednesday in a part of northwestern China's Gansu Province，slowing efforts to find survivors and to deliver food and other aid to survivors who have lost homes from the floods.
Heavier rain was forecast for the area for the rest of the week，the China Meteorological Association said.Nearly 2.5 inches was expected to fall in some parts of Gansu on Thursday，and lighter rain was expected into the weekend，the agency said.
Heavy rains set off a landslide last weekend that wiped away large blocks of homes in Zhouqu County in the province.The debris （废弃物）poured into a river and dammed the waterway，causing it to flood and submerge parts of the areA．
At least 1,117 people were killed in the region and more than 600 people still listed as missing，according to the Xinhua state news agency.In addition to destroying homes，the flooding and debris has damaged communication networks，and water and power supplies.
Earlier this week the government said the best chance for finding survivors was in the 72 hours following the disaster.
Flooding across China this year has hit 28 provinces and is the worst in the country in a decade，according to the government.More than a million homes have been damaged in the nation，and more than ﹩30 billion in damage has been caused by the floods，the government said.
44．Which of the following caused the people in Zhouqu County homeless?
A．Floods and landslides. B．Debris.
C．Rubble. D．Drought.
45．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Moderate rain falling on Wednesday stopped the efforts to save people in the floods.
B．The landslide in Zhouqu County caused only 1,117 people dead.
C．Much debris made the river submerge parts of Zhouqu County.
D．Flooding across China this year is the worst in ten years.
46．The flooding and debris has damaged______.
A．homes
B．communication networks
C．water and power supplies

D
Green is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes，the word green means young，fresh and growing.Sometimes，it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished.For example，a greenhorn is someone who has no experience，who is new to a situation.In the fifteenth century，a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns（角）had not yet developed.A century or so later，a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle.By the eighteenth century，a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb.The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well.You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains.The new plants produced much larger crops.The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling，jealousy（嫉妒）．The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space.It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”．It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants.A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else.Or，that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not.
47．Greenhorn now refers to______.
A．a person who is new in a job
B．a new solider
C．a young horse
D．None of above
48．A person who has a green thumb is a person______.
A．who is good at growing plants
B．whose thumbs are in green color
C．whose garden is greener than others'
D．who is younger than his neighbors
49．The author is actually talking about______.
A．colors B．language
C．politics D．agriculture
50．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．In about the 16th century，a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.
B．The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.
C．The green-eyed monster was probably created by William Shakespeare.
D．The green-eyed monster can be used to describe a person who is jealous.

What Will life Be like Without Animals?
Animals are close friends of human beings.Their existence，especially the existence of rare animals makes the whole world lively and colourful.Unfortunately，we heard such news recently that rare animals，even kept in the zoo，couldn't escape from being hurt and killed，at which we can feel nothing but shocked.The reason why it happened is that some people lack understanding about these animals and caring for them.
