In recent years, the Earth has been getting warmer. Average temperatures have risen. Possibly this is natural, but probably we are causing it.Modern people use a lot of electricity and drive a lot of cars. This puts carbon dioxide into the air and helps to make the planet warmer. When we hear this news, we may smile. No one likes long, cold winters, but, unluckily, there are many bad points about a warmer Earth.
First, the ice at the Poles melts and becomes water. The result is that the sea level becomes higher. Low islands will disappear. Cities on the coast will be in danger from the sea. Will Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Shanghai become like parts of Holland – lower than the sea? Possibly we will have to build walls to keep the water out. Typhoons will become even more dangerous and frightening.
Sadly, the second point is that storms will become bigger. Super-typhoons will be born in the Pacific and do great damage to East Asia. The same will happen to the Eastern United States.
As the weather changes, some places that now have rain will become dry. The farmers will not be able to grow plants. Maybe some dry places will become wet – we don’t know, but we will soon find out, and the change will cause many problems. There might be wars because of it.
( )38.What will happen to low islands when the Earth gets warmer and warmer?
A. They will melt and become water. B. They will be under the water.
C. They will become higher. D. They will keep out the water.
( )39. In the last sentence, “it” refers to ________.
A. the change of weather B. the power of the United States
C. the ice at the Poles D. the average temperature
( )40. Which of the following sentences is false?
A. Shanghai will possibly build walls to prevent the water, like parts of Holland.
B. The farmers will not be able to grow plants because of the dry weather.
C. Electricity puts carbon dioxide into the air.
D. The warmer the Earth is getting, the higher the average temperature is.
( )41. Which is the best title of this passage?
A. The Earth Is Getting Warmer B. Global Warming Problems
C. We Made the Earth Warmer D. How to Protect the Earth
D
Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects(受试者)were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
( )42. The aim of the two experiments is to ________.
A. explain when people can have a sixth sense
B. show how people act while being watched in the lab
C. study whether humans can sense when they are stared at
D. prove why humans have a sixth sense
( )43. The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.
A. value B. result C. performance D. connection
( )44. In the second experiment, the subjects _________.
A. could tell when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
B. could tell when they were stared at but couldn’t tell when they weren’t.
C. couldn’t tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren’t.
D. couldn’t tell when they were stared at or when they weren’t.
( )45. What can be learned from the passage?
A. People are born with a sixth sense.
B. The experiments support parapsychologists’ idea.
C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
D. People have a sixth sense in all places.

七、阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题;每小题2分，满分l0分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually different cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.
When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells(细胞). You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might have chicken soup to help them get over the cold. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop different symptoms(症状)of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:
It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.
76. When is it easy for many people to catch a cold?
__________________________________________________________
77. Why do you have difficulty breathing when you catch a cold?
__________________________________________________________
78. How might Americans deal with colds?
__________________________________________________________
79. How long does it usually take to cure the common cold?
_________________________________________________________
80. What do you think of taking medicine after catching a cold?
_________________________________________________________

It is good to keep animals in zoos. Zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real tiger or bear. Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned on time. In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. Thirdly, zoos protect the animals. They offer them safe place to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝).But zoos give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.
However, some people think it is unnatural (非自然的) and unfair(不公平的) to keep wild(野生的) animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. The animals such as bears and tigers always look sad in cages. Wild animals should look for their own food. Anyone would not feel happy if he isn't allowed (允许) to go outside his home and animals don't like it either.

The water tap was leaking (漏水) again, and the noise was driving Cassie crazy.
Cassie looked at her watch. It was nearly nine o’clock. She climbed out of bed and stood on a chair by the shelf. Her mother’s Mr. Fix-It Book was on the top shelf. Cassie stepped down quietly. She read the book quickly until she found the page she was looking for, and then began to read carefully.
Next, Cassie opened a box in the kitchen and picked out the tools she needed — a hammer, a wrench, and several small things. It was no easy job for her to do the repair, and she tried several times. Finally, the water tap was in pieces. One by one, she carefully laid them out on the table. That way she would know how they went back. While this was going on, her cat walked over to watch what she was doing.
Cassie worked late into the night. At one point, she thought she was done. Oops! A small piece that she had forgotten still lay on the table. Slowly Cassie took the water tap apart(分开)one more time. This time she made sure everything was in place. She turned the water tap on and then off. One…two…three…She waited a full minute. There was no leak! Cassie smiled and put the tools back into the box. Then she went back into bed.
The next morning, Dad was in the kitchen when Cassie got up.
“Notice anything, Dad?” she asked.
He looked around and listened. “Hmm, something’s missing… I can’t find out what it is… Wait, it’s too quiet in here!”
“That’s right,” Cassie said. “Something is missing. I fixed the water tap. It doesn’t leak
any more.”
“That’s my girl,” Dad said, “It’s a good thing you are really like your mother.”
51. The noise of ______ was driving Cassie crazy.
A. the tap B. her cat C. her father D. the clock
52. Mr. Fix-It Book is probably a book on how to ______.
A. train pets B. fall asleep C. fix things D. cook food
53. Cassie took the water tap apart again because ______.

A. nine o’clock B. late that night

worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!

around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit (受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way.

Like many people, I have no clear idea about heroes. At some point, we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.
Although there are a lot of differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics (特点) which give us cou rage and make us want to learn from them.
A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it. But a hero is not just the person with great fame (声誉) .
A hero has powers (力量) larger than himself. Some people want to live like a hero, and they have to experience life with new and further meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. What do they want to live and die for? If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.
A hero has a vision from the mountaintop. He has the power to move people. He creates new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of Britain. Without Martin Luther King, Jr., Americans might take different buses, eat in different restaurants, go for walks in different parks, and shop in different stores because of the different colors of their skin.
There might be changes in society without a hero, but the speed of change would be rather slow. Thanks to heroes in history, they make the society develop so rapidly.
61. According to this passage, a hero is a person who always .
A. gives us courage B. thinks highly of others
C. shares great fame D. stands on the mountaintop
62. If you want to live like a hero, you should .
A. experience a new and meaningful life B. listen to something worth talking about
C. serve your own fame and try to be famous D. know where and how you want to live
63. The underlined word “vision” in the passage means “ ”.
A. 风景 B. 想象 C. 远见 D. 形象
64. Black people in America used to before Martin Luther King, Jr.
A. shop at the white’s stores B. take buses with the white
C. take walks in the white’s parks D. eat in restaurants without the white
65. What can we learn from the passage?
A. We don’t need heroes anymore at some point now.
B. Heroes are all the same though different in cultures.
C. People get power from heroes to move to a new place.
D. Our society has developed faster because of heroes in history.

21.A 由“不要紧”可知“没有人可以让任何人都满意”。故选A。
22.B try to do sth.意为“努力做某事”，是固定用法，故先排除C、D两项;由“但他们失败了”及“他们打了一架”可知“他们努力不生气”，故B项正确。
23.D be busy doing sth.是固定用法，意为“忙于做某事”，故排除A、C两项;B项后少了介词for，故正确答案是D。句意为“我们都在忙着为即将到来的英语考试做准备”。
24.A 形容词修饰不定代词时，形容词要后置;肯定句中用something，否定句和疑问句中用anything，故选A。
25.C 本题表示在以祈使句为条件下的相反假设，是“祈使句+or+陈述句”结构，or意为“否则，要不然”。故选C。
26.B be home to...是固定用法，意为“是……的家园”。
27.C until“直到……为止”;unless“除非”;though“尽管”;because“因为”。四个选项只有though放在句中才能使句意完整，符合结构要求。句意为“我喜欢乘火车旅行，尽管它不如乘飞机快”。故选C。
28.A according to“根据，依据”;look forward to“期望”;lead to“导致”;thanks to“多亏”。 根据句子前后的内容可知according to能使句意完整。句意为“根据这篇短文，那是一个激动人心的故事”。故选A。
29.B 表示“百分之……”要用“数词+percent”，percent没有复数形式。故选B。
30.C a number of“许多……;大量……”，作主语时谓语动词用复数;the number of“……的数量”，作主语时谓语动词用单数。故C项正确。
31.C 动词不定式短语作目的状语。

36.A conversation“交谈，谈话”;report“报告”;survey“调查”;speech“演讲”。由第三段中的this phone call changed his life(这次通话改变了他的人生)可知，此处应选A，表示“但最近和他妈妈的一次谈话改变了他的人生”。
37.D so“所以”;but“但是”;therefore“所以”;however“然而”，用于句首时，与句子的其他部分要用逗号隔开。由“他过去不常给他妈妈添麻烦”和空格后面的叙述，特别是第二段的Unfortunately, Martin still caused problems.可知，此处应表转折关系，再由空格后的逗号可知应选D项。
38.C 空格后的more difficult是形容词的比较级，而选项A和D用于修饰形容词或副词原级，选项B是形容词，修饰名词复数，much可修饰比较级，表示程度，故选C。
39.B 由His mother couldn’t afford to pay for her child’s education.可知，为了做到这一点，她不得不工作，所以经常不在家。
40.C look after“照顾，照料”，是动词短语，应用副词修饰，故排除D项，而A、B两项意思不符合语境，well是副词，意为“好，好地”，符合语境“他的妈妈尽可能好地照顾他”。

43.A make a decision是固定搭配，意为“下决心”，故选A。
44.D argue with“与……争吵”;say不与with搭配;discuss的搭配为discuss sth. with sb.; talk with“与……谈话”。由后面的with可知，B、C两项首先排除，而A项在此不符合语境，故应选D项。老师说马丁有必要跟他妈妈谈一下。
45.C to one’s surprise 是固定搭配，意为“令某人吃惊的是”，此处surprise用作名词，意为“惊讶，惊奇”。
46.B 分析该句结构可知，空格处在此引导一个表语从句，且在从句中作needed的宾语，what有此双重功能，故选B。which可以引导表语从句，但意为“哪一个”，表示有范围的选择，that可以引导表语从句，但在从句中不作任何成分，how也可以引导表语从句，但只能在从句中作状语。
47.D see“看见”，强调看见的结果;notice“注意”，指注意到某事或某物，强调动作;help“帮助”;watch“注视”，强调状态。分析上下文可知，爸爸虽然不再与我们在一起了，但他一直在注视着我，强调的是一种持续的状态，故选D。
