Ihey help slow down and clean uppolluted water from the land and provide habitat (栖息地) for animals. You wil find wetlands in areas where water covers the soil or is near the ground surface for part or all of the year. Sometimes a wetland wil actually appear dry at certain times of the year! You can often tell if something is a wetland (40) the types of plants that are growing in it. Most of these plants, like cattails and swamp roses, are adapted to living in the water and can't live in dry soil for very long.Wetlands as sponges (海绵)The sponge will (41) a lot of water before it slowly starts to leak. The same happens in a wetland. A wetland will trap water that flows into it during a rainstorm and will (42) release the water later. This helps to prevent flooding.Wetlands as filters (滤纸)After being trapped by the wetland sponge, polluted water moves slowly through a wetland, finding its way around plants and through small spaces in the soil. While it moves, the nutrients are absorbed by the plant roots. By the time the water leaves the wetland it is (43) than it was when it entered. This is why many people think of wetlands as nature's filter system. Wetlands as habitatWetlands are home to many types of fish, amphibians (两栖动物), birds, mammals, and reptiles. These animals (44) the plentiful food, water, and shelter that the wetland offers. While some animals spend their whole lives in a wetland, many use it only for a particular time in their lives, such as for hatching eggs and raising young.Wetlands (45) to make way for farmland, highways, houses, and development of commercial sites like malls.

Choose the best answer (根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案,用A,B,C或D表示) (6分)When May got her first cellphone about a decade ago, one of the first things she did was go to her service provider's website and stock up on ringtones. And then her dad got the phone bill. When new songs came out, she would download them, but most of the ones she downloaded, she never really used, because most of the time she was in school or work.By about 2009, May lost interest in buying ringtones altogether. And she wasn't the only one. May's personal experience mirrors what has been a sharp decline in ringtone sales over the last half-decade.In the early- to mid-2000s, the ability to play a customized sound (定制铃声) for incoming calls ---was a fun new thing for people buying their first cellphones. Ringtones became fashionable. People scrambled to personalize their phones with the newest or coolest tunes.Mastertones made the ringtone an easy way to hear one's favorite music. People also could assign different ringtones to different callers --- say, “Take This Job and Shove It” when your boss calls, ha ha --- as a sonic form of Caller ID.The ringtone sales was a great barometer (晴雨表) of how people were starting to live around entertainment on their phones. We saw the market grow from $68 million retail in the U.S. in 2003 to about $600 million in 2006.But then the sales dipped. Despite the enormous growth of smartphones, mobile audio products such as ringtones and ringbacks (which is a song that plays while a caller's waiting for an answer) brought in only $167 million last year.So what happened?Two things: The interest of the musical snippets wore off. And we learned how to make custom ringtones for free.Musical ringtones could be costly. Costs for ringtones varied, but the 20-to-30-second snippets (片段) were often pricier than buying the whole song. Someone who updated their ringtones frequently could easily pay $20 a month or more.But with the rise of audio-editing software and free Web programs for making ringtones, users could easily create their own custom ringtones from songs they already owned.And as smartphones evolved, with their enticing menu of video, games, music and Facebooking, suddenly ringtones didn't seem so exciting anymore.There's another factor at play, too. Surveys have shown that as text-messaging has grown in popularity, especially among younger users, people don't make calls as often. So ringtones are less of a priority.Cellphone users may not think about them as much, but the gradual decline of the ringtone has been bittersweet for people in the music industry. It was a little sad. In BMI's early digital days, they made more money from ringtones than anything else. And now when you think about it, it's basically zero.60.After May downloaded her favourite ringtones, she .A.paid $5 for themB. sent the phone bill to her DadC. remembered to use themD. never really used most of them61.

Texas has a land area of more than 678,000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It (66) about 3,500,000 tons. The waste includes bags, bottles and containers --- plastic products of all kinds.The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about 1,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been (67) a kind of oceanic desert, with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world (68) there.In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or (69) . Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have (70) effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, (71) oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August, 2009, a team from the University of California, San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of seacreatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch's effect on ocean environment.66.

Herschel struck fame in 1781, when on March 13th he discovered the planet Uranus (天王星) while engaged in work (74) a at determining stellar parallax (恒星视差). This being the first new planet discovered (75) s ancient times, Herschel, until then an amateur (业余的) astronomer relatively unknown even in England, became world-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George III. The trick worked once again, as King George III gave William and Caroline the titles of "The King's Astronomer" and "Assistant to the King's Astronomer”, an honor which came with a life's wealth for both. In 1782 they (76) m to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to astronomy. The Herschels (77) w on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.While Caroline became increasingly occupied (投入) with the search for comets (彗星) at which she was quite successful, William became for a time keen on the Sun.

You wil find wetlands in areas where water covers the soil or is near the ground surface for part or all of the year. Sometimes a wetland wil actually appear dry at certain times of the year! You can often tell if something is a wetland (40) the types of plants that are growing in it. Most of these plants, like cattails and swamp roses, are adapted to living in the water and can't live in dry soil for very long.Wetlands as sponges (海绵)The sponge will (41) a lot of water before it slowly starts to leak. The same happens in a wetland. A wetland will trap water that flows into it during a rainstorm and will (42) release the water later. This helps to prevent flooding.Wetlands as filters (滤纸)After being trapped by the wetland sponge, polluted water moves slowly through a wetland, finding its way around plants and through small spaces in the soil. While it moves, the nutrients are absorbed by the plant roots. By the time the water leaves the wetland it is (43) than it was when it entered. This is why many people think of wetlands as nature's filter system. Wetlands as habitatWetlands are home to many types of fish, amphibians (两栖动物), birds, mammals, and reptiles. These animals (44) the plentiful food, water, and shelter that the wetland offers. While some animals spend their whole lives in a wetland, many use it only for a particular time in their lives, such as for hatching eggs and raising young.Wetlands (45) to make way for farmland, highways, houses, and development of commercial sites like malls.

Choose the best answer (根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案,用A,B,C或D表示) (6分)When May got her first cellphone about a decade ago, one of the first things she did was go to her service provider's website and stock up on ringtones. And then her dad got the phone bill. When new songs came out, she would download them, but most of the ones she downloaded, she never really used, because most of the time she was in school or work.By about 2009, May lost interest in buying ringtones altogether. And she wasn't the only one. May's personal experience mirrors what has been a sharp decline in ringtone sales over the last half-decade.In the early- to mid-2000s, the ability to play a customized sound (定制铃声) for incoming calls ---was a fun new thing for people buying their first cellphones. Ringtones became fashionable. People scrambled to personalize their phones with the newest or coolest tunes.Mastertones made the ringtone an easy way to hear one's favorite music. People also could assign different ringtones to different callers --- say, “Take This Job and Shove It” when your boss calls, ha ha --- as a sonic form of Caller ID.The ringtone sales was a great barometer (晴雨表) of how people were starting to live around entertainment on their phones. We saw the market grow from $68 million retail in the U.S. in 2003 to about $600 million in 2006.But then the sales dipped. Despite the enormous growth of smartphones, mobile audio products such as ringtones and ringbacks (which is a song that plays while a caller's waiting for an answer) brought in only $167 million last year.So what happened?Two things: The interest of the musical snippets wore off. And we learned how to make custom ringtones for free.Musical ringtones could be costly. Costs for ringtones varied, but the 20-to-30-second snippets (片段) were often pricier than buying the whole song. Someone who updated their ringtones frequently could easily pay $20 a month or more.But with the rise of audio-editing software and free Web programs for making ringtones, users could easily create their own custom ringtones from songs they already owned.And as smartphones evolved, with their enticing menu of video, games, music and Facebooking, suddenly ringtones didn't seem so exciting anymore.There's another factor at play, too. Surveys have shown that as text-messaging has grown in popularity, especially among younger users, people don't make calls as often. So ringtones are less of a priority.Cellphone users may not think about them as much, but the gradual decline of the ringtone has been bittersweet for people in the music industry. It was a little sad. In BMI's early digital days, they made more money from ringtones than anything else. And now when you think about it, it's basically zero.60.After May downloaded her favourite ringtones, she .A.paid $5 for themB. sent the phone bill to her DadC. remembered to use themD. never really used most of them61. According to May's personal experience, ringtone sales became these years.A. betterB. worseC. more interestingD. more attractive62. “Master tones” enables people to with the newest or coolest tunes.A. write a song for incoming callsB. buy their first cell phonesC. personalize their phonesD. hear different callers speaking63.

Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or (69) . Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink.The floating garbage also can have (70) effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.Its existence first gained public attention in 1997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier, (71) oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.In August, 2009, a team from the University of California, San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of seacreatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch's effect on ocean environment.66.

This being the first new planet discovered (75) s ancient times, Herschel, until then an amateur (业余的) astronomer relatively unknown even in England, became world-famous. Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George III. The trick worked once again, as King George III gave William and Caroline the titles of "The King's Astronomer" and "Assistant to the King's Astronomer”, an honor which came with a life's wealth for both. In 1782 they (76) m to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to astronomy. The Herschels (77) w on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.While Caroline became increasingly occupied (投入) with the search for comets (彗星) at which she was quite successful, William became for a time keen on the Sun.

One of its most famous structures is the Colosseum, which was completed in AD 80. The Colosseum was an amphitheater where gladiators fought, wild animals were showcased, and executions were carried out in front of cheering crowds. It could seat about 50,000 spectators and was built primarily of concrete and marble. The Colosseum was not only a testament to the architectural skills of the Romans but also a symbol of their power and entertainment.The Romans were also renowned for their road-building skills. They constructed a vast network of roads that connected their empire, making trade and travel easier. The most famous of these roads was the Appian Way, which started in Rome and extended for over 300 miles. The Appian Way was used for military campaigns, as well as for civilian travel.Another significant Roman achievement was the development of aqueducts. These structures transported water from distant sources to cities, providing fresh water for the inhabitants. The Roman aqueduct system was the most advancedof its time and was built using sophisticated engineering techniques. The aqueducts were often constructed with arches, which helped distribute the weight of the water and prevent collapse.Questions:1.What was the primary purpose of the Colosseum in ancient Rome?A) To serve as a marketplaceB) To be a center for educationC) To host gladiatorial contests and public executionsD) To serve as a residential area for the wealthy2.How did the Appian Way contribute to the Roman Empire?A) It provided a source of fresh water for citiesB) It was used for military campaigns and civilian travelC) It was the main source of marble for Roman buildingsD) It was used to transport goods across the empire3.What was a key feature of Roman aqueducts that contributed to their success?A) They were made entirely of woodB) They were built with no arches to save materialsC) They were lined with lead to prevent water contaminationD) They were constructed using concrete and marbleAnswers:1.C) To host gladiatorial contests and public executions2.B) It was used for military campaigns and civilian travel3.D) They were constructed using concrete and marble三、完型填空(15分)Cloze TestRead the passage below and fill in each blank with the most appropriate word from the options given.

"I'll spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside.'Four days later he returned home."What's wrong with Willow Farm?" his friend Jack asked him. "Didn't you enjoy country life?""Country life was fine," Alan said," but there was another problem.""Oh, what?""Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.""Fresh meat is the best.""I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner."" Lucky you! ""You don't understand, "Alan said.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.Happiness is for everyone. You don't need 1 about those people who have beautiful houses 2 large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you 3 you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friend will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it; and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, 4 .All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same 5money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are happy, because you have more chances to challenge (挑战)6. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.()1.

But it can also be very dangerous. Fire can heat water, warm houses, give light and cook food. But fire can burn things, too. It can burn trees, houses, animals or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting old stories about the first time when a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long timeago. He went up to the sun by rope and brought fire down.Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire fast. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they will die out. There is oxygen in the fire. Cover a fire with water, sand or sometimes with your coat. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it. Be careful with fire and it will help you.1.Why does the writer think that fire is very dangerous?2.How did the man in the story go up to the sun?3.What do children like to play with?4.A small fire is safe, isn't it?5.What do you think of fire?参考答案Ⅰ.1.D 2.A 3.D 4.D 5.C 6.

The library was housed in a beautiful old building that had stood for centuries. One day, a young boy named Tom decided to explore the library after school. He had always been fascinated by books and stories.A s Tom wandered through the aisles, he came across a section marked “Rare Books.” His eyes widened in excitement as he saw shelves filled with ancient tomes and scrolls. He approached a large wooden table where an old librarian, Mrs. Green, was sitting.“Good afternoon, young sir,” Mrs.Green greeted warmly. “May I help you find something?”“Yes, please,” Tom replied. “I was wondering if I could see some of the rare books.”“Of course,” Mrs.Green said with a smile. “Follow me.”She led Tom to a private room filled with light from a large window. On the table were several books, each more intriguing than the last. Tom’s eyes were drawn to a particularly ornate book with a silver cover and intricate carvings.“This one is a first edition of ‘The Magical Garden,’ written by the legendary author, Eliza Thompson,” Mrs.Green explained. “It’s considered one of our most valuable books.”Tom carefully opened the book and began to read. The story was captivating, and he found himself lost in the world of magic and enchantment. As he read, he noticed a small note tucked into the front page.“It says here that this book has a special secret,” Tom whispered toMrs. Green.“Indeed,” she replied. “The book contains a hidden map that leads to a hidden treasure. Many have tri ed to find it, but none have succeeded.”Tom’s heart raced with excitement. He knew he had to find the treasure. He spent the rest of the day searching for clues in the book and around the library. Finally, he found a small, weathered map tucked behind a bookshelf.The map led Tom to a small, hidden room behind the library. Inside, he found a chest filled with gold coins, jewels, and other treasures. He was overjoyed, but knew he couldn’t keep the treasure. Instead, he decided to donate it to the library, ensuring that future generations could enjoy its wonders.Questions:1.What is the main reason Tom visits the library?A) To borrow books for schoolB) To find a rare bookC) To meet Mrs.GreenD) To explore the town’s history2.What does the note in the book suggest about its contents?A) The boo k is about Tom’s adventures.B) The book contains a map to a treasure.C) The book is about Mrs. Green’s life.D) The book is a history of the library.3.What does Tom decide to do with the treasure he finds?A) He keeps it for himself.B) He uses it to buy a new book.C) He donates it to the library.D) He gives it to Mrs. Green.Answers:1.B) To find a rare book2.B) The book contains a map to a treasure.3.C) He donates it to the library.三、完型填空(15分)Oxford Edition Grade 2 English Semester 1 Mid-Term ExamPart III: Gap FillingRead the following passage and choose the best word or phrase to fill in each blank.

The other options do not fit the context as well.2、If I__________(1)__________you, I would have helped you with your homework.B. amC. wasD. beAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “were” because the sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation in the past, which is indicated by “If I had.” The past subjunctive mood is used with “were” in such cases. The other options do not fit the subjunctive mood required in the sentence.3、The teacher,___________is in the classroom, is preparing for the upcoming exam.A. whoB. whomC. whoseD. thatAnswer: C. whoseExplanation: The correct answer is “whose” because it is used to show possession, indicating that the teacher belongs to something mentioned earlier in the sentence.

The correct noun to use is “awards,” which is plural to match the phrase “several.” Therefore, the correct answer is “A.”9.In the 9 years, he has traveled to 10 countries.A. pastB. lastC. recentD. followingAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “past” because it refers to a period of time that has already finished. The phrase “In the past years” indicates atime frame that has elapsed.10.She 11 her homework before she went to bed last night.A. finishedB. had finishedC. was finishingD. finishesAnswer: BExplanation: The correct answer is “had finished” because it indicates a completed action in the past perfect tense. The sentence describes an action that was finished before another past action (going to bed last night).五、简答题(本大题有5小题,每小题2分,共10分)1、What are the main differences between a monologue and a dialogue in English literature?Answer:1.A monologue is a speech or a series of statements made by one person, while a dialogue involves the interaction between two or more people.2.In a monologue, the speaker is usually addressing a silent audience or an imaginary listener, whereas in a dialogue, the characters are engaging ina conversation with each other.3.Monologues often serve to express a character’s thoughts, feelings, or opinions, while dialogues are used to develop plot, reveal character, and drive the narrative forward.Explanation:This question tests the student’s understanding of the different forms ofliterary expression. A monologue is a form of solo speech, often used in plays, to co nvey a character’s inner thoughts or feelings. A dialogue, on the other hand, involves the back-and-forth exchange of words between characters, which is a key element in most forms of literature.2、How can using similes and metaphors enhance the effectiveness of descriptive writing?Answer:1.Similes and metaphors add vividness and imagery to descriptive writing, making the descriptions more engaging and memorable for the reader.2.By comparing two different things using similes (e.g., “Her eyes were like s tars”) or by identifying one thing with another through metaphors (e.g., “Her heart was a hammer in her chest”), authors can create strong sensory experiences that help the reader visualize and feel the described scene or object.3.These figures of speech can also convey emotions and abstract concepts more effectively than plain descriptions, as they allow the reader to form a mental image that resonates with their own experiences.Explanation:This question assesses the student’s knowledge of修辞手法(rhetorical devices)在写作中的作用。

Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the clowns. It was clearly a very important day out for them. The father and mother seemed happy as they could be.The ticket lady asked how many tickets the father wanted. He proudly answered, “Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adults' tickets, so I can take my family to the circus. ”The ticket lady told him the price.The man's wife lowered her head. There was no longer a smile on the man's face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”The ticket lady again told him the price.The man obviously didn't have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?Seeing what was happening, my dad took a $ 20 note from his pocket and dropped it on the ground. (We were not rich ourselves at all!)He then tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this”The man understood my father was helping him.

Many countries rely on another liquid-water. Many of the America's big rivers are 1 to make hydroelectric power(水电), or electricity produced by controlling the force of flowing water.South America's biggest hydroelectric plant is Itaipu Dam, located on the border of Paraguay and Brazil. This massive dam stretch across the Parana River. 2 workers could even begin building the dam, they had to shift(移动) the Parana River around the construction site(工地). They did this by 3 a 2-kilometer channel around the dam site.This project alone took nearly three years.The governments of Paraguay and Brazil work together to run the hydroelectric plants at Itaipu Dam. The countries split the low- cost electricity 4 here. Both countries benefitfrom this agreement. Paraguay is a smaller country than Brazil and it doesn't need nearly as much electricity. In fact, Itaipu Dam produces far more electricity than the whole country of Paraguay can use!So Paraguay earns money by 5 its excess(多余的) electricity to Brazil. This electricity helps light up Brazil's biggest city Sao Paulo.Itaipu Dam brings money to the region in another way as well. As one of the engineering wonders of the modern world, Itaipu Dam has become a major 6 attraction. 1.A.picked B.spent C.used D.borrowed 2.A.Until B.Before C.When D.After 3.A.digging B.pulling C.moving D.touching 4.A.discovered B.produced C.found D.sold 5.A.building B.buying C.setting D.selling 6.A.waiter B.actor C.conductor D.tourist答案1.C2.B3.A4.B5.D6.D七、首字母填空Cars make our life more convenient.But they can also be a problem,especially fossil fuel (化石燃料)cars,which are a major cause of air pollution.To improve the environment,many countries are d__1___electric vehicles(EVs,电动车).Among them,China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV m__2__,according to the Wall Street Journal.Last year,over 40percent of the 753,000EVs sold worldwide were sold in China,more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States,according to the International Energy Agency.Chinese drivers are already big fans of ECs.Chinese auto companies(汽车公司)i___3___BYD and BAIC(北汽集团)were among the top in the world in EV sales."Charging an electric car is cheaper than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas,"said a customer,who bought an electric car from BAIC this year.However,there are still some problems.It is h__4___to find charging piles(充电桩).Thecars can't go far before they need to be recharged.S__5___of these problems are being solved,In 2014,China had 31,000charging piles,according to Xinhua News Agency.Now China has the world's largest EV charging network,with more than 167,000charging piles altogether,according to the Economic Daily.China is trying to make EVs p___6__to reduce pressure(压力)on its environment.The government promised to s__7___increasing carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)."As China goes,so will the world's auto industry,"the Wall Street Journal said.答案:1.developing2.Market3.including4.hard5.Some6.popular7.stop八、回答问题Liu Wei is very famous in China because he can play the piano with his toes(脚趾).One day when Liu Wei was only 10 years old, he played a game with some friends.
