We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle(水坑)or pond in a mist above the water. Water vapor also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹)fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is moister in the tropics than in the cold polar regions.56. What is the main idea of the passage? _______________A. Water cycle.B. Water vapor.C. How rain forms.D. Water, vapor, rain.57. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text? _______________A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.58. From the passage we get to know_______________.A. there is more water vapor in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regionsB. there is more water vapor in the air in cold polar region than in the tropicsC. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vaporD. the amount of water vapor in the air depends on how often it rainsBNo one can believe that the over 6 300-kilometer long Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2 000 years. It began in the rule of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221BC～206 BC),and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.Few local people knew the 3-meter-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human. The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corral(畜栏) and pigsties(猪圈).Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people’s names are put away as remembrance. Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛).The bricks can be sold for 15 Yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base.It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation’s great civilization and learn to love it.59.The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called “great” is_______________.A. it was made by brickB. it was very wideC. it was very longD. it had a long history60. Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear? _______________A. It is useless from now on.B. It will be replaced by a new one.C. Some parts of it are being destroyed.D. It’s too old to be used again.61.The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes” refers to the parts of the Great Wall_______________.A. that are too difficult to understandB. nobody can watchC. that are too far to been seenD. that are not well known to the public62. What’s the main reason of the Great Wall’s being destroyed?A. The local people are short of culture knowledge.B. The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.C. The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.D. The local people are against the government.CThe basenji is a central African hunting dog. It comes from a country called Chad, which is north of the Central African Republic. The basenji was well-known as the “silent dog”because for centuries no basenjis had ever been known to bark. Then at a dog show in London in 1953,a basenji actually barked.As well as being clever, basenjis are known for their natural courage and are still popular hunting dogs in Africa. But in America people keep them mainly because they are gentle and full of fun. The basenji has an unusual habit：it washes itself all over like a cat. It is a middle-sized dog,16 or 17 inches high from the shoulder. It weighs about 20 pounds. A basenji’s coat is short and silky. It may be brown, white, or gold, or a mixture of these three colors.63.Basenjis were first found_______________.A. in Africa, Europe and AmericaB. in both Africa and AmericaC. in central AfricaD. in North Africa64.What made Basenjis so special？_______________A. They were born quiet dogs.B. They were a true friend of man.C. One of them barked at a dog show in London.D. They were funny enough to make people laugh.65.Americans like basenjis because they are_______________.A. quietB. prettyC. cleanD. pleasant66.In what way are basenjis like cats？_______________A. They make gentle sounds instead of barking.B. They are fond of people and look like cats.C. They clean themselves all over.D. They have short, silky fur.67.Basenjis are good hunters because they are_______________.A. strongB. fearlessC. the right colorD. the right weightDThe West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work reassessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a stable society under a relatively kind regime(政权) of scholar-gentry(贵族) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic(有活力的) society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West’s mistakes?68. The first volume was published_______________.A. ten years agoB. last yearC. five years agoD. twenty years ago69.In Line 7,the word “skeptical” means _______________.A. doubtfulB. worriedC. sadD. angry70. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Gunpowder.B. Needle.C. Paddle boats.D. Bridge design.71. The best title for this passage is_______________.A. China’s InventionsB. Comparisons between the East and the WestC. China Is Catching UpD. Situations in ChinaEJapanese history has been shaped to an important degree by the influence of geographic location. It is somewhat like the British Isles at the other and of the Eurasian landmass. The Japanese islands, however, are more independent than the British Isles;115 miles separate them from the mainland, compared with the 21-mile width of the English Channel. Thus before their defeat by the USA, the Japanese has been seriously threatened by foreign invasion only in the thirteenth century. The Japanese, therefore, have been close enough to the mainland to benefit from the great Chinese civilization, but distant enough to be able to choose and refuse as they wished. In fact the Japanese have been unusually quick and clever in what they have brought in from abroad. Although widely regarded as a nation of borrowers they have independently developed, because of their independence, their own culture.72.Which of the following shows the correct geographic location of the British Isles, Japan and the Eurasian landmass?E—the Eurasian; B—the British Isles; J—Japan73.Why do we say the Japanese are borrowers? _______________A. Because they are easily influenced by their neighbors.B. Because the Japanese islands are more independent.C. Because they were defeated by the USA.D. Because they are good at bringing in everything they need from abroad.74. Japan develops her own culture in order to_______________.A. make other developmentsB. be quicker and cleverer to bring in what she wants toC. keep independentD. be dependent75. Japanese history has been shaped by the influence of geographic location because_______________.A. Japan is too far from the mainland to the conqueredB. Japan is so near to the mainland that she can easily learn everything thereC. Japan is near enough to be helped and far enough to be independentD. China helped Japan a lot and let her choose what she liked and give up what she disliked第Ⅱ卷（非选择题,共45分）第四部分写作（共2节,满分45分）阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分,满分15分）Learning to save money when you're young is an important lesson. All good lessons arid habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people—adults included—do not have a good sense of saving for the long run.I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.Making sure you save and don't spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put myearnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a lob, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.After high school, college is expensive and then "real" life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier.________________, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle. The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to create a nest egg.Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving.Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure life.Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.In addition to this, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.76. What’s the best title of the passage?_______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________77. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?As long as you save early, you’ll do less work to live well at your old age._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________78.
