It can take you into a wonderful undersea world．You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are as large as a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth．During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have a bottle of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can't dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water. The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It's cold, and it's dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. At about 3, 000 feet, there is no light at all. It is dark in the sea. Many fish have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side．Besides the cold and darkness, deep﹣sea animals face the third danger﹣other animals. Animals must eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants.

Last week. China Daily interviewed many foreigners what they thought of China Among them, a girl from Canada gave a touching answer.Olivia Weber came to China five years ago and is now a student in Chongqing University. Now she has 120,000 followers on the Internet. She loves China and Chinese culture. She believes China will be the strongest country in the world in the future. The following is China in her eyes.“If you are not too lazy, it is a country where you can find a job the most easily in the world.”“It is surprising that about 400 million Chinese are studying English. China may have the largest number of people who speak English outside the English-speaking countries in the future.”“The trains in China are so fast. From Chongqing to Chengdu, the train runs 308 kilometers in just one and a half hours.”“Its security is great. I have travelled in many countries, and I think China is really safe.”“There are more things China should take pride in. Many Chinese people often criticize(批评)China. At first, I thought they didn’t like China or they loved western countries. But later, I realized that they just set a very high standard for China. They believed that it was not enough to be No.1 in the world. China must be far better than other countries.61. Oilvia thinks the reason why many Chinese people often criticize China is that___________.A. they don' like ChinaB. they love western countriesC. they set a very high standard for ChinaD. China is No.1 in the world62. According to Olivia, which of the following is TRUE?A. Lazy people cannot find any job in China.B. There are few English speakers in China.C. Travelling by train in China is fast.D. China is very dangerous63. The best title of this passage can be_________.A. A Developed Country.B. A Foreign Girl’s Story.C. Living in China.D. China in a Foreign Girl‘s EyesDHow quickly can you count(数）from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers？Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend(伸展) or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指)to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的)people in Australia. These people don't have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don't even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piranha tribe(部落)in northwestern Brazil don't have words for numbers such as "one" or" three". They are not able to say “five trees or “ten trees “but can say “some trees", "more trees", or “many trees". Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, "but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but isn't not useful in their culture, so they've never picked it up. "Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量), not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.64．The writer begins with the four questions in order to___．A．make a survey B．interest readersC．tell a story D．solve math problems65．What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China？A．People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.B．People from China need two hands to count from one to ten．C．People of different cultures may use different ways of finger countingD．People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting．66．The study of the Piranha tribe shows that___.A．People all over the world know how to countB．People of the tribe have words for numberC．Some groups of people are not smart enough to countD．Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe67．What is the main idea of the passage？A．people from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.B．Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.C．In some aboriginal culture，people don’t even know how to count.D．Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers．ENew Technology Revolutionizes（变革）LearningMore and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads areused in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much moe time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn( such as listening to stories and watching movies）. The class has become much more interesting and creative.There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home, ”a student explained.Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat(作弊）during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer chances to have face-to-face communication with others.However, technologies are already a part of most students ‘day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.68．What does the expression“ at their own pace” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？A．according to their own timetable．B．without their teachers’ help．C．because of their wonderful goals．D．against their parents’ hope．69．From the passage we can learn that___．A．students with iPads have less discussion in classB．students get more fun from learning with iPadsC．iPads help students save time waiting for busesD．iPads prevent students from cheating in exams70．The writer probably agrees that___．A．teachers can take control of students ‘learningB．exam results depend a lot on now technologyC．technology in education has a bright futureD．note-taking is as helpful as video-watching．第II卷(非选择题共60分）五、词汇运用(共15小题: 每小题1分, 计15分)A.请根据句意或括号中的中文提示,英文释义,写出句中所缺单问,使句子完整。
