For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Last year, a report by a committee of education experts said that a lot of American students cannot write well. The report noted the concerns of business leaders and teachers. The experts said that more students should have to pass a writing test (21) they can finish high school. They pointed out that major college entrance tests are changing now (22) (include) a writing part.Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy. One problem is the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work. So some companies (23) (develop) computer programs. These can grade student writing much more quickly than a person can. Writing tests can also cost (24) (little) to carry out by computer than paper-and-pencil. These computer systems are known as e-readers. They use artificial (人工的) intelligence to think in a way (25) teachers. In the state of Indiana, computer grading of a statewide writing test began with a test of the system itself. For two years, both a computer and humans graded the student writing. Officials say there was almost no difference between the computer grades and those given by (26) human readers.The entrance test commonly (27) (use) by business schools, the GMAT, already uses e-readers. The GRE and TOEFL tests might start; officials aredeciding. The GRE is the Graduate Record Examination. TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language.Systems (28) (use) to grade writing in college classes. The computers read a few hundred examples of student writing already graded by humans. Then the systems compare new writings against those already examined.Some teachers say it can never really understand (29) a writer is trying to say. Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a beautifully expressed idea.But inventors of the programs say computer grading guarantees that each piece of writing is graded in the same way. They also say the systems (30) (mean) to judge knowledge more than creativity.Section B (10分)Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Botany, the study of plants, occupies a ____31____ position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest (含糊的) of insight. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must extremely ancient. This is ___32_____. Plants are the basis of the food ____33____ for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of peoples, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, eyes, medicines, shelter,。

AThe first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896.There were nine sports: cycling,tennis,gymnastics,swimming,track and field,weightlifting,rowing,wrestling and shooting.Sailing was also to have taken place,but had to be cancelled because of bad weather atsea.In the first Olympics there were no real team sports.Then,slowly,a few team sports joined the program.Football and hockey were the first team sports introduced into the Olympics in London in 1908.Then in 1936,at the Berlin Olympics,the Germans brought in handball and theAmericans had basketball accepted as an Olympic sport.It often happens that the country that introduces a new sport into theOlympics then goes onto win the gold medals.In 1904,at the Olympics in St.Louis,the Americans introduced boxing and won all seven events.Five horse riding events were introduced into the 1912 Stockholm(斯德哥尔摩) Olympics,and Swedish riders won four of them.And in 1964,at the Tokyo Olympics,two sports which are very popular in Japan were introduced:judo and volleyball.The Japanese won all three gold medals in the judo,and also won the first women’s volleyball competition.Some new sports have recently been added to the Olympics.In Los Angeles,in 1984,baseball was introduced and became an Olympics sport.InSeoul(汉城),Korea in 1988,table tennis was introduced for the first time,and tennis returned as an Olympics sport.Unlike tennis,some sports,such as golf and rugby(橄榄球),have been tried in the Olympics but have never returned.1.Football was first introduced into theOlympics in .

There are around53,000 computer viruses in existence, with a new one detected every 18 seconds.A computer virus can do everything, from popping up a short message to wiping key files, so that your computerdoesn’t work. The “I LOVE YOU” virus infected up to 45 million computers, causing £7 billionworth of damage worldwide.How to avoid catching a virus?Stay calm.

There are many e-mails warnin g of “the most destructive virus ever”, but often these viruses don’t exist. Don’t sendan e-mail about a “new vir us” without checking it out. Visit sites like to check for hoaxes.Send any e-mail that you think is infected to an anti-virus company. They can tell you whether it is a virus to anyone except the official virus companies. Mail filtering system will probably delete it anyway.If you get a computer virus you’ll need to use a virus scanner to get rid of it. Don’t be careless just because you have a virus scanner.

It was the song of the wolf howling in a distant forest. There were many wolves then. Onekind was the North American timberwolf.Wolves are important to the balance of nature because they eat sick and weak animals. In Colorado, people tried to help deer by shooting wolves. But then there were so many deer that many of them starved to death.The timber wolf is on the endangered special list. Animals on this list are in danger of disappearing from the earth. People drove the wolves away by cutting down the forests to build houses, towns, and highways. Timber wolves are now found only in Canada, Alaska, Michigan, and Minnesota.This special animal may soon disappear from our forests forever. Then, its lonely howl will never be heard again.8. Wolves help the balance of nature because they .A. are an endangered speciesB. no longer live in forestsC. eat sick and weak animalsD. help the farmers9.

For one thing, I never imaginedthat sunflower seeds(葵花籽) would be so popular here. I found people havingthem while waiting for tables outside restaurants, beforedinner and, of course, while watching TV. I also saw that a plate of sunflower seeds is always on tables during the Spring Festival holidays.I had seldom tried sunflower seeds when I came to China. In the UK, young people love their snacks. In fact, young people in Britain eat more snacks than people of the same age in other European countries. A recent Survey has discovered that 64% of under 20-year-olds snackbetween meals, according to an article on a British website. In comparison(对比), 58.7% of youngpeople snack in Germany, 53% in France, and only 40.7% in Spain.In Britain, we always looked forward to our favorite potato chips and chocolate bars after school. In U.S. One of things that I found the mostwonderful when I first visited the US was the number of snacks in their supermarkets; I was surprised to find huge shelves just for snacks were bigger than some stores in the UK. Snack tastes in the US are much the same as inthe UK.All in all, it’s probably best for your health if you like sunflower seeds rather than potatochips and chocolate. But eating these delicious snacks sometimes couldn’t be wrong, could it?12. What is the article mainlyabout? A. The most popularsnack in China. B. Snacks youngWestern people like. C. Snacksin the UK and the US.D. Some tips for choosing snacks in the UK.13. According to the British Council, snacks are most popular amongyoung people in _.A. GermanyB. BritainC. FranceD. Spain14.

AThe Best Books of2020On Monday,the American Library Association announced the top children’s books of 2020.Here are the winners.DevotionAuthor Clare Vanderpool took home the John Newbery Medal for outstanding contribution to children’s literature for Moon over Manifest.The book is about a young girl’s magical adventures in a small Kansas town,in1936.Vanderpool said that she was shocked to learn that she had won.“You grow up reading legendary authors like Madeleine L’Engle,but I never expected to be put in a category with her,”Vanderpool told TFK.“It’s fabulous.”Picture ThisThe picture book A Sick Day for Amos McGee won the Randolph Caldecott Medal.The book was illustrated by Erin E.Stead and written by her husband,Philip C.Stead.It tells the story of an elderly zookeeper and the animals that visit him when he’s not well enough to go to work.“I love drawing animals and I love drawing people and I love drawing the emotional connection between animals and people,”said Stead.More Honored BooksThe Coretta Scott King award,given to an African-American author and illustrator of “outstanding books for children and young adults,”went to Rita Williams-Garcia for One Crazy Summer.Set in1968,the novel follows three sisters from Brooklyn,New York,who visit their mother,a poet who ran away years ago and lives in California.The king prize for best-illustrated work went to Dave the Potter:Artist,Poet,Slave.The book,which was written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Bryan Collier,tells the story of a skilled potter who engraved his poems on the clay pots and jars that he made.The enslaved potter,known only as Dave,lived in South Carolina in the1800s.1.How did Vanderpool feel when she heard the news that she won the medal?A.Astonished.B.Disappointed.C.Embarrassed.D.Depressed.2.One Crazy Summer is a_________.A.collection of poemsic bookC.fictionD.picture book3.Who illustrated the book Dave the Potter:Artist,Poet,Slave?A.Bryan Collier.B.Erin E.Stead.ban Carrick Hill.D.Madeleine L’Engle.4.What can we infer from the passage?A.The book Moon over Manifest tells a story of a zookeeper and his animals.B.A Sick Day for Amos McGee shows us that animals can interact with humans.C.The book A Sick Day for Amos McGee is written by Erin,a famous woman writer.D.One Crazy Summer is about a mother with her three children having a holiday inCalifornia.BReading minds may not be simple,but it might be possible actually.What if a brain scan could reveal your memories?A team of British scientists recently just did that—they used brain scans to look at spatial(空间的)memory in four people.Spatial memory is the kind of memory you use to remember where you are.You use spatial memory to remember how to get from your house to school.People build spatial memory as they explore a new city or a new building and take in information about their surroundings.The scientists asked each participant to sit down at a computer and wander through3D rooms.These virtual rooms contained images of objects,like clocks and doors,so that the people could know where they were.Each person was encouraged to explore the virtual space.As the people became familiar with these rooms,their brains were taking notes of where things were,and how to get from one point to another.After observing these rooms,the participants were instructed to go to a specific location within the rooms.At this point,the scientists took pictures of the people’s brains using an instrument called FMRI(核磁共振成像).As participants stared at the floor,the scientists took FMRI scans to measure brain activity. They repeated this process many times.After a few repetitions,the scientists recognized the patterns in the participants’brains.By looking at patterns on the brain scans,the scientists were able to read the spatial memory of the test subjects.This experiment shows that it is possible to use FMRI to gather some kinds of memories from people.However,your secret thoughts and personal memories are safe—for now.“It is not the case that we can put someone in a brain scanner and simply read his private thoughts,”said one of the scientists who worked on the project.5.What can we learn about spatial memory from the first paragraph?A.It contributes to exploring a new subject.B.It lets you remember what has been done.C.It helps you memorize places where you are.D.It takes in information about new knowledge.6.Which of the following is the right order of the study?a.The scientists took photos of the brains with the FMRI.b.The scientists read the spatial memory of the participants.c.The participants were asked to explore virtual rooms.d.The scientists repeated the process a few times.A.a,b,c,dB.c,a,d,bC.b,c,d,aD.c,d,a,b7.Why are our secret mind and private memories safe?A.Because FMRIs can’t gather any memory from people.B.Because scientists can’t understand all pictures taken by FMRIs.C.Because FMRIs can’t be completely reliable now.D.Because scientists can’t read people’s thoughts directly.8.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Spatial memory and FMRIs.B.A very important research.C.How scientists can read people’s memories.D.A new kind of camera—FMRIs.CGrasslands need time to rest when cattle and other animals feed on them.Moving animals from one area of pasture(牧场)to another can provide the time needed for new growth.This is called rotational grazing(循环放牧).Rotational grazing is good for the land and the animals,and it can save money.This form of grazing can reduce the need for pesticide(农药)treatments by reducing the growth of weeds. And it can limit the need for chemical fertilizers by letting natural fertilizer,animal droppings, do the job.Rotational grazing can even help prevent wildfires by keeping grasslands in good condition.Letting animals feed continually and intensively(集中地)in the same grazing areas can require costly replanting.Animals eat the most appropriate growth first.When that keeps happening,the roots do not have enough time to recover.As a result,less desirable plants may replace them.Intensively used grasslands are also harmed as the soil is continually crushed under the weight of heavy animals.And the animals usually avoid their own waste,so that reduces the amount of good grazing space even more.While rotational grazing can save money over time,it also requires planning.And that starts with a good map to mark fences,water supplies and grazing areas.Changing methods of grazing also requires time.Farmers may want to put up electric fences to enclose grazing areas,called paddocks.The paddocks will need water.Some farmers design a path for animals from different paddocks to drink from a common watering place. Farmers can start rotational grazing by removing animals from a pasture when the grass iseaten to less than five centimeters.The pasture is then kept empty until the grass grows to more than fifteen centimeters high.Sheep and goats may require special preparations.They may need stronger fences than other animals.And while they eat the grass,they may need guard animals like camels to protect them from animals that would like to eat them.9.If you want to carry out rotational grazing,you must do many things EXCEPT________.A.reducing the amount of the animalsB.making a plan about the electricity and water supplyC.building fencesD.making a design in advance10.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Sheep and goats are fierce and special animals.B.Sheep and goats aren’t suitable for rotational grazing.C.Sheep and goats need more management in rotational grazing.D.Sheep and goats are difficult to raise.11.Which statement of the following is NOT true according to the text?A.The heavy animals can damage the grasslands.B.Rotational grazing can provide the grass enough time to grow again.C.The grass over five centimeters in a pasture can be used to feed animals.D.During rotational grazing,more pesticidal chemicals are needed.12.Which of the following is the best title?A.How to Keep Grasslands in Good ConditionB.Giving Grasslands a RestC.The Hidden Meaning of Rotational GrazingD.The Drawbacks of Rotational GrazingDThe Annual Conference of the FEWThe first annual conference of the FEW,the Forum for World Education,was launched at OECD headquarters in Paris,centered on the theme“The Future of Education:Where Do We Go from Here”.There were over300international business leaders,education policymakers,and renowned scholars from more than10countries and regions participating in the two-day event. They exchanged ambitious and profound ideas about the future of global education.The forum started with keynote speeches by Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands and a Chinese business leader,both of whom shared opinions about the challenges of education in the 21st century.The business leader said that to keep up with today’s ever changing world,it was essential to develop innovation education.“In the current digital era,two things are increasinglyimportant:Not only should we give everyone the chance to receive an education but,first and foremost,it’s about offering students the right type of education and skillset that can prepare them to cope with the challenges that future poses.”He continued by stressing the importance of recognizing school employees including teachers and headmasters.“Education is about the future.We should give teachers the best recognition,and equip headmasters with the proper training and resources to identify and retain the most capable educators.A good teacher can help200students in their lifetime at least.”Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands acknowledged children’s creative ideas and the necessity of including them in the design of the education system.She explained that a good teaching method should not only help kids but also support adults.The forum has caught attention from the education,economy,culture and arts sectors, along with international organizations such as the UNESCO,policymakers,a number of universities,and non-profit organizations from all over the world.Launched in2013,FEW is a non-profit organization based in the U.S.It’s dedicated to promoting the growth of global economy through educational innovation and supporting disadvantaged communities in gaining access and equality.13.What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A.People think highly of the FWE.B.People could exchange their ideas about the FWE.C.People pay much attention to the future of education.D.People from around the world attended the annual conference of FWE.14.Who plays a key role in the future of education,according to the business leader?A.Students.cators.C.Business leaders.cation policymakers.15.What did the business leaders and Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands advocate about education?A.Developing creative education.B.Designing an education system.C.Offering students as much education as possible.D.Giving teachers proper resources.16.What do we know about the FWE?A.It is held every other year.B.It attracts global attention.C.It stresses advanced education.D.It aims to gain profits through education.E“Is it art?”Tyka,an artist and software engineer,asked the audience at Christie’s2019Art +Tech Summit in New York in June2019.The event’s theme was“The A.I.Revolution”,and Tyka was referring to artwork created using artificial intelligence.He flashed an image of urinal(小便池)on two large screens at either side of the stage—Marcel Duchamp’s famous and controversial sculpture Fountain.The audience laughed.“Obviously,it can be,”he said.However,many in the art community are wrestling with several unanswered questions after an algorithm-produced(演算法)print that resembled19th century European portraits was sold for$432,500.For example:when artwork is accomplished by means of the algorithm,who is the artist—the programmer or the computer?Because many works of AI art are digital, how do you value a creation that’s designed to live natively on the Internet and be widely shared?There are few clear answers.Claire Marmion,the founder and CEO of Haven Art Group,says collectors are still trying to figure out where the market for AI art is heading,and that it may not be the disruptive(破坏性的)force that some think it will be.Or,at least,the industry will adapt to it.Mario Klingemann,whose work was sold by Sotheby’s,prefers the term“generative art”, which includes all works created using algorithms,and believes the current buzz will eventually die down,otherwise AI art isn’t going anywhere.Instead,he thinks it will one day be viewed as simply another tool of the artist.“Just like photography never goes away,or making movies doesn’t,I’m pretty sure it will establish itself as a new media format,”he says.“Right now,of course,it’s all this mystery about AI,but I expect this to become really just a normal thing,where people will focus on what artists are actually saying with their art.”17.What’s the function of the first paragraph?A.To show what art is.B.To entertain readers.C.To explain the event’s theme.D.To lead to the topic of the passage.18.What makes people in the art industry feel confused?A.Who is the real creator of a piece of AI artwork.B.Where people can by AI artwork.C.How to sell AI artwork at a high price.D.How to share AI artwork.19.Which can best explain the underlined word“buzz”in the fourth paragraph?A.Excitement.B.Objection.C.Revolution.D.Argument.20.What does Klingermann think about AI art?A.Its future is unclear.B.It will disturb the traditional art industry.C.It will be as common as photography and movies.D.It will be applied to photography and film industry.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。

And the book has inspired many plays and movies.The first play was put on in 1844. The first two movieswere silent films made in 1901 and 1908. Since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema. What makes such a tale so attractive? Audiences have always loved a good plot, a villain(反面人物) who harms other people or breaks the law, and the ending of right over wrong. The book offers all three.The book tells the story of a man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He is mean and cruel(残忍的) to his clerk and turns away his only living relative. One night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits. The first shows scenes from Scrooge’s youth that led to this present state. The second takes him to the homes of his clerk and his nephew. Here Scrooge sees that people can be happy without lots of money. The spirit also shows him the desperate poor people of London. The third spirit shows Scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has. At last the message is understood, and Scrooge repents. He becomes generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerk’s sick son, Tiny Tim.Every year, thousands of people watch A Christmas Carol. Why? They may be touched by its lessons on the true meanings of wealth and happiness. They may enjoy the special effects and feelings or watching every year may be just a habit. Viewers never seem to grow tired of the old miser(守财奴), Scrooge, and his dramatic message of hope and change.56. What do we know about the book A Christmas Carol?A. It was written in the early 19th century.B. Dickens completed the book in a week.C. It has been adapted for cinema and television.D. It didn’t attract read ers when published for the first time.57. The third spirit shows Scrooge .A. where he will die and who will care about himB. how others care about his present lifeC. when and how he will die aloneD. what his future life will be like58. The underlined part “Scrooge repents〞 probably means .A. Scrooge feels sorry for what he has doneB. Scrooge does things as he did beforeC. Scrooge is angry with the three spiritsD. Scrooge gives the three spirits a handBSweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities). It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s orphans and shut-ins (卧病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and neglected, formed the idea ofshowing them that they were remembered. He did this through the distribution(分发) of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called "Sweetest Day". In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged〔弱势群体〕was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious belief or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a practical way.59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A. More and more people are now celebrating Sweetest Day in the whole country.B. Sweetest Day is a holiday which always falls on the Saturday in October.C. Sweetest Day is much more important in big cities than in small cities.D. Only a few religious have the tradition to celebrate the holiday.60. The idea of creating Sweetest Day came from _____.A. the city’s orphans and shut-insB. a city named Cleveland 60 years agoC. a man who cared orphans and shut-insD. a man’ s friends,relatives and associates61. Sweetest Day is celebrated in the following ways EXCEPT _____.A. a kind actB. a family partyC. gift-givingD. a small remembrance62. From the third paragraph we can learn that _____.A. it is the people in Cleveland who spread Sweetest Day to other citiesB. only with the help of the m an’s friends and neighbors, he got a small remembranceC. over 60 years ago, a man too often felt forgotten and neglectedD. all people loved to be remembered by others on Sweetest Day in ClevelandCOn hearing the words “Just do it!〞, you will know there is a Nike product nearby. If it’s “Always Coca-Cola〞, you can be sure someone wants to sell you a refreshing drink.An advertising slogan(广告标语) is to a brand what eyes are to a person. The slogan helps people understand the brand better by telling them what it wants to sell to its customers. Good slogans leave a message inside people’s minds. It’s almost certain that every brand has a popular slogan.Here are a few examples:“Just do it!〞—This slogan speaks out to teens. It tells them to do something, bu t only if they think it’s worth it. And if so, why not do it wearing Nike?“Always Coca-Cola.〞—Coke’s slogans change every few years, but this one hasenjoyed a lasting popularity because it shows the brand’s spirit. It seems to say “Coke is the only dri nk there is; there are no other forms of drinks.〞“Share moments, share life.〞—This slogan from Kodak connects photos and beauty. It asks people to remember the happy moments in life by taking photos of them—using Kodak film of course!63. What would be the best title for the text?A. Just Do It!B. Slogan And BrandC. Famous SlogansD. What Is A Good Slogan?64. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence (paragraph 2)?A. A good advertising slogan should draw people’s attention.B. A brand should have an advertising slogan just as people have eyes.C. An advertising slogan is as important to a brand as eyes are to a person.D. An advertising slogan acts as the eyes of a brand.65. The word “them〞 in the last paragraph refers to____.A. peopleB. the happy momentsC. photos and beautyD. Kodak film66. Which of the following tables can best match the slogans with their brands?Man yscientists todayare convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe---life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.D.Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.Finally, life could evolve(进化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.67. The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT .A. the right amount of atmosphereB. our own solar systemC. steady heat and lightD. the right distance from the sun68. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.B. Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life.C. Double stars can provide steady light and heat.D. The distance between a planet and its sun should be right.69. What kind of planet might NOT support life?A. Most of the planets of the stars.B. Stars similar to our sun.C. Planets similar to the earth.D. Planets with proper conditions.70. At the end of the passage the author suggests that .A. it is impossible for life to exist on planets.B. earthlike life could only exist on a few planets.C. life could exist on only one planet in a million.D. life could exist on a great number of planets.七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项,选项里面有两项为多余选项。

ASoon enough, we will lose some of the most amazing sites on Earth!The Great Barrier ReefRising air temperatures will cause sea temperatures to rise as well.All life supported by the oceans will be affected with this shock to their ecosystem.Coral are some of the most vulnerable marine animals and we are already watching whole reefs disappear.The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is no exception and will continue to shrink as the temperatures rise!These reefs are some of the best in the world for diving, but they will soon disappear!VeniceSprawling across(横跨)hundreds of small islands in Northeast Italy,Venice is at extreme risk of sinking into the Adriatic Sea.Rising sea levels are in fact a serious threat to many coastal cities located at sea level.Lucky for us,however,Venice is developing a series of sea walls to protect the city in times of high tide.Glacier(冰川)National ParkGlacier National Park was once covered by over 150 glaciers, but by 2005 it only had about 27!Located in Montana, Canada, this park is over a million acres and has a huge plant and wildlife population.As temperatures rise, the glaciers and ice melt, which will upset the ecosystems sustaining over a thousand plant species and hundreds of animals.The AmazonThe cause behind the disappearance of these fantastic places ultimately comes down to humans.Our expansion usually requires cutting down forests for land, fuel and materials,but rarely considers the consequences.These forests are sources of food and medicine for just about everyone on the planet!What will happen if we lose these valuable places and beautiful destinations?!21.According to the text,what is causing coral's death?A.Rising sea levels.

But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn't realize this, its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things.It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited, angry or scared by other feelings,our bodies go through many physical changes.Our hearts beat faster,and our muscles get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut?It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it's smarter to always hide our feelings?No!If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside.It can actually be bad for your health.It isn't good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away.It's as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them, but before long you'd smell them.And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that you'd see little fruit flies flying all over them.They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be around.And at last you'll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.29.When people and animals are aroused by fear,________.A.they may get ready to attack or run awayB.their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC.their hearts beat either faster or slowerD.they feel very regretful immediately30.Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A.They are usually not as alert as animals.B.They always do something wrong to other people.C.They sometimes can't control their feelings.D.They don't pay attention to their physical changes.31.What can we infer from the passage?A.Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.B.Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C.Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.D.It's good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.32.What is the purpose of this passage?A.To tell us that people's feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B.To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C.To prove that it isn't always wise to express our feelings freely.D.To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.DWhen Columbus‘sailed the ocean blue in 1492’ he wasn't looking for America, he was searching for a route from Spain to China; America just got in the way.The Spanish were after the riches of Asia: silk, dates,spices.Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East, trade with China depended on the Silk Road.The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth, so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East.Eventually a way appeared; as sea traffic developed from the 17th century onwards, the overland route diminished.Now China is seeking to revive(复兴)the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new roads, rail links, oil pipelines and other basic facilities.It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea.But the plan is also to attract more tourists.Actually, China does pretty well for tourists already; it's the world's fourth most visited country.Two cities—Beijing and Shanghai—possess the tourism business, with significant interest in destinations such as Xi'an and Chengdu.While Beijing is modern,cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China.Other places featured include Xi'an,the former capital of China,where you cancome face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China's first emperor in the afterlife.From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan, China's western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.There is also a fo urday coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to Kashgar.Along the way, at Kurla, you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress.33.What does the underlined word“diminished” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Discovered. B.Disturbed.C.Disappeared. D.Displayed.34.What is the purpose of reviving the Silk Road?A.To make transportation westwards faster and cheaper.B.To construct new roads and other basic structures.C.To rebuild the ruins of the Iron Fortress.D.To draw more inland tourists' attention to the western gateway. 35.What is the best title for the text?A.The function of the Silk Road. B.The charming of the Silk Road.C.The origin of the Silk Road. D.The future of the Silk Road.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。
