AMr. Baker lived in an old and low house. His wife was blind in both eyes and the two children were very young. All his family often went hungry(挨饿.) He had nothing but a small piece of field. One autumn he grew some wheat in his field. He hoped it would do well because all family would depend on it. The whole winter it often snowed. And the next spring the wheat was doing well. Mr. Baker was happy. One day Mr. Baker went to watch his wheat. To his surprise, a lot of crops were eaten up by a horse. He became angry but could not find out whose horse had eaten them. He thought the horse would go there again. So he decided to stay in his field and tried to catch the horse.A few days later a yellow horse came in his field again and began to eat the wheat. Mr. Baker ran after it quickly, with a stick in his hand. But the beast ran much faster than he. He tried his best, but could not catch up with it. The next morning, when Mr. Baker was working in his field, he saw the yellow horse pulling carriage on the road. He picked up a stick at once, ran closer to the horse and began to beat it up.The driver was surprised and stopped him. He asked, “Why are you beating my horse?”“It has nothing to do with you, ”Mr. Baker said angrily. “The beast knows why I’m beating him!”31.

The horse belonged to the driver.BChristian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Manypeople on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experime nts on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery —that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.35. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.A. a medical treatmentB. a kind of vitaminC. a kind of germD. a kind of rice36. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.A. spend his holidayB. find ways to grow better cropsC. do some research about the islandD. help the Javanese with their illness37.

If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.A. eat more riceB. eat more meatC. eat some chickenD. eat vitamin pillsCThere is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers(梦游者). People have been said to climb on roofs, solve mathematical problems, write music, walk through windows, and do murder in their sleep.In Revere, Massachusetts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.At the University of Lowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three-quarters of a mile to the Lowa River. He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.An American expert on sleep claims(声称) that he has never seen a sleepwalker. He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirty-five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep. He says, “Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers. But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I would get many takers(应征者).”Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality. It is one of those strange things that sometimes look quite fantastic(奇特的). Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed. Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and their sleepwalking is never recorded.39. Generally speaking, sleepwalkers are people who __________.A. do fantastic things during their sleepB. walk through windowsC. climb on roofsD. walk in a half-awake state40. It was reported that a boy ________.A. was found on a strange sofa, telling how he had got thereB. lost his way five hours after he left homeC. slept in his own room but woke up in a strange roomD. was searched for by policemen when he lost his way41. There was a college student who got into the habit of _______.A. walking three-quarters of a mile every dayB. getting up in the middle of the night and walking down to the riverC. swimming in the Lowa River before going to bedD. walking about before he went to bed42. Why do people think sleepwalking is nothing but a fantasti c thing which doesn’t have any explanation?A. It is so common that it needn’t be recorded.B. Scientists take no interest in it.C. No records about it have been made.D. Most sleepwalkers do not seek help for their problem.DWhen you watch TV programs about wild animals, it is surprising to see how an antelope can escape a lion’s attack. In the wilderness, everyone has a stunt(绝招). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.Over millions of years of evolution(进化), plants have developed a unique defence system(防卫系统). Chemicals are widely used for survival. By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits poisonous (有毒的)to enemies, plants can fight back.One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree, British scientist David Caneron has found when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount(数量)of poison increase in the other leaves. “It’s like the injured leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy,” he said.The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the nearby 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees’ leaves, it will die.Every species of plant or tree is good at producing a special set of chemicals. A herbivore that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.In this way, plants have developed not only their own defence system, but also shared with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.43. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Plants Fight Back With PoisonsB. Plants Can Kill AnimalsC. Animals and Plants.D. Lions and Antelopes44. According to the study, if one Golden Wattle tree is attacked by animals, it can ________.A. tell other trees to protect itB. produce more poison within 10 minutesC. sent defence messages to the neighboring plantsD. kill the animals with its leaves45. In this passage the underlined word “herbivore” probably means animals which .A. live on both animals and plantsB. feed on smaller animalsC. live on treesD. feed on plants or grass.第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
