In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me, the onlyfeature on the landscape was the division between snow and sky. I gazed sadly at my team. They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon.I was leading an expedition(探险队) attempting to reach the south pole. The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica, India, Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow, or spent a night in a tent, before we set off. Our aim was to be the most international all-female team to reach the South Pole.As I watched, the rest of the team had marched on, unaware that I was not with them. By the time I realised that my sledge was firmly stuck, the team were already a long way ahead of me. I called out to Era, my teammate from Brunei. "Era! Stop!"Getting no response I called again, but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind. Seconds passed. Nothing. I was gradually being left alone, completely defenseless against the fatally low temperatures of Antarctica.My strength increased when I thought of a cold, lonely death. I pulled again my sledge, which moved a little. I removed the ice with my ski-pole and boot, desperately trying to break the sledge free. The sledge shot forward, knocking me off balance. I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.I caught up just as Reena, my teammate from India, looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing. She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance.As we continued, my panic slowly faded. For the rest of the day each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes. They were not going to risk losing me again.46. What is special about the expedition team?A. They were all female.B. They were all professional.C. They made the longest expedition.D. They had been strictly trained.47. What made the author get her sledge out of the ice was .A. the shouts from her teammatesB. her strong desire to liveC. the sudden change in wind directionD. the natural beauty ahead48. At last, each of the team members kept looking back .A. to avoid being attacked from behindB. to make sure that none fell behindC. to check the distance they had coveredD. to keep a record of the route they took49. Which may be the best title of the passage?A. How to Survive in AntarcticaB. A Mysterious Trip to the South PoleC. A Female Expedition TeamD. Being Left Behind in the SnowBAs the world's largest terrestrial carnivore (陆地食肉动物), the polar bear is the king of the great white north. Adult males can measure more than 9 feet in length and weigh between 770 and 1,430 pounds. The polar bears have a strong body while their heads are narrow with small, rounded ears.Polar bears can be found in northern Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia, and there have been reports that polar bear tracks have been found as far north as the North Pole. The 5,000,000-square-mile range of the polar bear circles the Arctic and contains pieces of open water where seals are easily caught.Polar bears live on the annual Arctic sea ice that provides a platform from which they can hunt. They hunt seals on the sea ice by breaking into sealdens in the sea ice. The dens aren't visible from above, but seeing is less important than smelling to a polar bear—with their sharp sense of smell, polar bears can sense the breathing holes of seals in their dens beneath the snow and ice. As the southern edge of the Arctic ice cap melts in summer, polar bears are forced to stay on land and spend their summers fasting(禁食), living off body fat stored from hunting in spring and winter.With about 22,000 polar bears living in the wild, the species is not endangered at the moment, but its future is far from certain. Climate change is causing the disappearance of sea ice from which polar bears hunt seals. Sea ice in the Arctic is melting earlier and forming later each year. People have reached an agreement that controls the hunting of polar bears and directs each nation to protect their habitats, but it does not protect the bears against the biggest man-made threat to their survival: global warming. If current warming trends continue, scientists believe that polar bears may disappear within 100 years.50. Polar bears search for seals mainly through their .A. eyesB. earsC. nosesD. necks51. The underlined word "dens" in Paragraph 3 most probably means " ".A. the skin of the wild animalsB. the home of wild animalsC. the breathing hole of sealsD. water of the deep sea52. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. A polar bear measures at least 9 feet long.B. Polar bears can be found in both the North Pole and the South Pole.C. Polar bears stop hunting in summer because seals are hidden at that time.D. Polar bears may die out as a result of climate change.53. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the polar bear is an endangered species at presentB. we should protect seals in order to keep the food chain in the ArcticC. the polar bear can be found near the North Pole and the South PoleD. people will do something to protect polar bearsCShip tourism to Antarctica is on the rise: More than 35,000 tourists are expected to visit Antarctic this summer. In 1992-1993, 6,750 visited Antarctica, according to the Antarctica Treaty. All of this tourism, however, is putting both tourists and the environment in great danger.Among the tourist ships that visit the continent, the Explorer, a Canadian ship, was one of the first. Put to use in 1969, it was built to carry tourists to Antarctica. Last week, however, it became the first commercial passenger ship to sink beneath the waters. Fortunately, all of the passengers and crew members were rescued from the ship. However, the sunken ship endangered the Antarctic's fragile(脆弱的) environment. The ship was estimated to be holding 48,000 gallons of fuel.The accident was not unexpected. Both the US and UK had warned a conference of the Antarctic Treaty member countries in May that the tourism situation in this area was a potential disaster. The US said in a paper, people "should take a hard look at tourism issues now, especially those related to ship safety." Although the Antarctic seas are relatively(相对地) calm, floating ice causes a potential threat to ships. The owner of the Explorer blamed the sinking on a fist-like hole in the ship created by ice.Many of the other large ships now visiting Antarctica are not designed especially against thick ice. Such ships generally can only come to the continent in summer. But the tourist rush is pushing ships into dangerous situations. "The increasing number of ships operating in Antarctic means that the ship are under great pressure to get there in time for the key visiting sites," the British government wrote in a paper at the meeting of member countries.As a natural frontier, Antarctica is in a messy legal situation. There are no obvious answers as to who is responsible for dealing with the threat that tourist may cause to human life and the environment.There is no coast guard for Antarctica. Do we want it to become Disneyland, or do we need some controls?54. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. Antarctica tourism has a history of about 22 years.B. The number of tourists to the Antarctic is over 5 times as large as that of22 years ago.C. The tourism boom has caused holes in the floating ice in the Antarctic.D. The Antarctica Treaty is responsible for the problem.55. The sinking of the Explorer .A. led to a conference about the tourism situation in the AntarcticB. was caused by the rough seasC. had been predictedD. did harm to the Antarctic56. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. a Disneyland will be built in the AntarcticB. fewer people are visiting the Antarctic because of the warnings givenC. not all the ships are suitable to go to the AntarcticD. some ships take risks visiting the Antarctic in other seasons rather than in summer57. In this passage, the writer suggests that .A. people had better not make a tour of the AntarcticB. ships to the Antarctic should be built strong enoughC. there should be legal controls over tourism in the AntarcticD. the Antarctic's environment is fragile58. What attitude does the writer hold towards Antarctic tourism?A. Supportive.B. Positive.C. Indifferent.D. Anxious.DTens of thousands of baby penguins face starvation after two giant icebergs broke off the Antarctic ice sheet and blocked their parents' way to feeding areas.Adelie and emperor penguins nesting on the RossIsland are now forced to walk long distances over the icebergs to obtain food for their chicks, born during the November-December breeding season.“The penguins are having to walk 50 km further than usual to reach the sea," said Dean Peterson. The flightless birds travel on land at just one to two km per hour.The problem could halve the chick survival(存活) rate at the three Adelie penguin colonies on Ross Island—estimated at 130,000 breeding pairs. In all Antarctica, there is an estimated three million Adelie penguin breeding pairs.Around 12,000 breeding pairs of emperor penguins, the largest penguin species at up to four feet tall, are also affected.The icebergs broke from the vast Ross Ice shelf, south of New Zealand, in March 2000 and are now sandwiched between RossIsland and FranklinIsland, 93 miles to the north.Scientist Peterson estimated that penguins were taking days to make the round trip to the sea to fish, and then back to their nests to regurgitate(反刍) food for their chicks.“At that point they were quite tired and probably don't have much to regurgitate," he said. Penguins already have long odds on reaching adulthood, with only 10 percent surviving beyond adolescence(青春期).“We are probably looking at halving that again—we are sitting down at maybe the five percent rate," Peterson said, adding some penguins already appeared to be leaving the RossIsland to breed elsewhere.Penguins come ashore to breed and then take it in turns to leave the nest to fetch fish and other sea food to feed their young.Researchers say large blocks of the Antarctic ice sheet are breaking off for several reasons, including global warming.Emperor and Adelie penguins are limited to Antarctica. The emperors weigh up to 66 pounds while Adelie penguins are much smaller, weighing around 11 pounds.59. After the long trip, the mother penguins .A. are too fired to feed their youngB. can't bring up much to feed their youngC. are too hungry themselvesD. have already eaten up all the food60. The underlined phrase “have long odds on" probably means .A. have little chance ofB. have no difficulty inC. spend long time inD. have great hope of61. From what scientist Peterson said, we infer that .A. the survival rate of penguins is droppingB. there are few penguins left on RossIslandC. the present situation can cause the penguins to die outD. penguins usually have a high survival rate62. Which of the following best supports the main idea of the passage?A. Global warming caused the icebergs to break off.B. The long trip made mother penguins too tired to feed their young.C. The change of weather affects penguins.D. Broken icebergs endanger penguin chicks.答案一、单词拼写(根据中文提示拼写单词)1. extreme2. promote3. abnormal4. numb5. tiresome6. depressing7. discouraged8. emergency9. inspiration二、单词拼写(单句首字母填空)10. state11. depth12. adapted13. trapped14. severe15. exploration三、单项选择16.

Painkillers in a tablet can make your headache go away. Antibiotic cream from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected. But can medicine come packaged in chicken eggs?A team of scientists from Scotland says yes. They’ve engineered special chickens that lay eggs with disease-treating drugs inside.These drugs are made of molecules called proteins. Animals make thousands of proteins —they’re the main ingredient (成分) in skin, hair, milk, and meat. Since animals can make proteins easily, they’re good candidates for making protein drugs.Researchers have already made cows, sheep, and goats that pump out protein drugs in their milk. But chickens are cheaper to take care of, need less room, and grow faster than these other animals. Those qualities could make chickens a better choice to become living drug factories, says Simon Lillico of the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.Lillico and a team of researchers changed chickens’ DNA — the code that tells cells how to make proteins —so that the birds’ cells made two protein drugs. One drug can treat skin cance r, and the other treats a nerve disease called multiple sclerosis.The scientists altered the chickens’ DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg whites. This protects the chickens’ bodies from the drugs’ possible harmful effects and makes it easy for scientists to collect the drugs.These special chickens can pass on their drug-laying abilities to their chicks. So far, the Scottish researchers have bred five generations of drug-producing birds.The scientists need to improve these chicken s before they roost in drug companies’ labs. The birds don’t make enough drugs to treat people yet. But once the researchers perfect their technique, you might eventually take your medicine sunny-side up.36. Traditionally, medicine comes packaged except _______.A. in a tabletB. in a bottleC. in a chicken eggD. in a tube37. Which of the following is not the reason why researchers have chosen chickens as drug producers? A. People can save money by doing that.B. Chickens are strong enough to produce drugs.C. Chickens can be raised in a shorter period of time.D. Chickens take up less room.38. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The two new protein drugs can cure cancers and nerve diseases.B. In the future, some chicks may be born as drug producers.C. Cows, sheep and goats will not pump out drugs in their milk in the future.D. It’s harmful to change the chickens’ DNA.39. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Chickens are a better choice to become drug factories.B. How to raise the chickens that lay eggs with drugs inside.C. The chickens will make drugs in their whole eggs in the future.D. The importance of the technique of changing animals’ DNA.(B)Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people. When we are young, it is important for us to be accepted by a group and to be seen as “cool” by our friends and classmates. To do this, we will often take up the views and interests of the group rather than develop our own.Over time, however, we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves. People who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need to create a facade to impress other people. They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others.Less secure (有把握的)people are quite different. Instead of finding security in themselves, they look for other people to provide it. This kind of person constantly agrees with everything others suggest, for fear of having their own ideas rejected. Secure people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation; they say “I can” rather than “I can’t”. Knowing that each day is an opportunity to use their talents to acquire good health, good friendships, and great happiness, they always do their best.Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves is also a sign of personal growth. We cannot change our height, so why waste energy complaining about being short? Our energy would be better spent on more constructive projects. Instead of thinking about personal characteristics we are not satisfied with, we ought to focus more on what we are good at. Such expressions as “love yourself” are about self-acceptance and confidence, as well as honesty and morality. We should consider them to be good advice, and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within.40. The purpose of the author is to tell us _______.A. the differences between secure and less secure peopleB. the importance of accepting ourselvesC. how to find happiness withinD. how to become secure people41. Less secure people are more likely to find a sense of security by _______.A. seeking agreement from othersB. giving themselves up to othersC. finding fault with othersD. changing themselves42. Which of the following is a typical way of doing things of secure people?A. Asking others for advice before taking action.B. Putting the interests of others above their own.C. Being focused on peo ple’s disadvantages.D. Devoting their energy to more constructive projects.43. The underlined word “facade” in the second paragraph probably refers to _______.A. a kind of behavior to hide one’s true feelingsB. a polite way to please othersC. a special measure to attract othersD. a light atmosphere in which both sides feel at ease学习反思综合能力测试2备课人:马冬梅备课时间:09-11-2 授课时间:09-11-学习目标:检验学生综合能力知识与技能:检测学生综合阅读能力过程与方法:定时训练情感态度于价值观:培养学生热爱读书,以读书为乐知识链接:以前的相关阅读知识学法指导:怎样作到有效阅读学习过程 CThe head is thought to be the most important part of the human body, so a leader is often compared to a head. Thus we have Head of State or the head of a delegation(代表团). The head is where the brain is located. It is naturally connected with ideas and intelligence. Very often, we need other people’s ideas and opinions when we want to do something well. That’s because two heads are better than one.The eyes are extremely precious to us. That is why we say “Mind your eye!” when we are reminding someone to be careful. Not only human beings and animals have eyes, many things also have “eyes” — the eye of a ship, the eye of a needle, the eye of a typhoon, and so on.The ear is the organ of hearing. A piece of light music is easy on the ear. We are usually all ears for a bit of news. When they think somebody is overhearing, English people use either of the two proverbs: “Walls have ears.”and “Pitchers (水壶)have ears.”They also think that little pitchers have big ears. Nice boys and girls respect other people. They will not secretly listen to others’ private conversations.The English phrase “face to face”and its Chinese counterpart(对应语)are exactly the same. But English people, to express the same idea, can say “nose to nose”instead. The word “nose”appears in many idioms. Here are two which are quite similar to their Chinese equivalents: “Lead somebody by the nose.” and “Turn up one’s nose at somebody or something.” English people can say “as plain as the nose in one’s face” to mean “very obvious”. Maybe to them, the nose is the most conspicuous part of the face.44. The underlined word in the last sentence of the passage probably means “_____”.A. importantB. sensitiveC. obviousD. precious45. Why do you think a leader is often compared to a head?A. Because the head is the most obvious part of the body.B. Because people think the head is the most important part of the human body.C. Because the head means ideas and opinions.D. Because the head is where the brain is located.46. Which of the following doesn’t have the similar meaning to their Chinese equivalent?A. Face to face.B. Lead somebody by the nose.C. Turn up one’s nose at somebody or something.D. As plain as the nose in one’s face.47. Which of the following idioms has the correct explanation?A. Be all ears. →悦耳动听。

John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. "I'll send Mum some roses.”While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. "How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?" he asked. The assistant was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen. Maybe he would be happy with carnations."No, I have to have red roses. " He said, "My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favourite. "After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the assistant said, "Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you.”Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery. Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses," Mum, oh, Mum, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.

Cloning would enable such a couple to have a second child, perhaps a younger twin to the child they already have. Many couples have difficulty having children, and sometimes it is impossible for couples to have children because they are infertile. Cloning would allow these couples to have children.It is hard to tell someone that they cannot use cloning to have children when no other possible ways to have children are available. This is one reason why it is difficult to decide whether cloning is moral or not. The following are some of the reasons why cloning should be allowed. Through cloning, research can progress. We possibly can learn more about cell. We may develop technology to allow easier genetic testing and fixing problems such as spinal cord injuries, cancer, and many more.Cloning organs for organ transplants (移植) is one of the major practical reasons that cloning should be allowed. There is always a high demand for organs. Some argue for the cloning of humans to create extra body parts. Others talk of just wanting to clone an organ to replace a faulty organ.Rejuvenation (恢复青春) is also a key argument for advocates (提倡) of cloning. Some scientists believe that injecting cloned healthy heart cells into damaged heart tissue will lead to healing of the heart. By combining the technology for cloning and the technology for growing human stem cells, conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and some other ageing disease may be curable. The possibilities are endless and may be left undiscovered if human cloning is forbidden.36. The underlined word “infertile” in Para. 1 means “____”.A. unable to have childrenB. too poor to grow cropsC. poor in pregnant knowledgeD. unable to afford to bring up children37. How many reasons does the writer give in this passage about why cloning should be allowed?A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.38. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Cloning babies for infertile couples is moral.B. Through cloning, research work in cells can make great progress.C. Cloning cells can make some diseases concerning ageing curable.D. Cloning technology may help improve medical technology.39. We might infer from the passage that ____.A. cloning has not only bad but good effect on humansB. human cloning will be allowed in near futureC. human cloning will be forbidden in the futureD. cloning can help solve many medical problems40. From the passage, we can know the writer’s attitude toward human cloning is ____.A. negativeB. supportiveC. uninterestedD. opposingBPanic was spreading this August through this tidy village of 2,000 as one person after another fell ill with weeks of high fever, exhaustion and bone pain, just as most of the Italians was enjoying Ferragosto, its most important summer holiday.By midmonth, more than 100 people had come down with the same disease. Although the worstsymptoms disappeared after a couple of weeks, no doctor could figure out what was wrong. People blamed pollution in the river. They condemned the government. But most of all they blamed recent immigrants from tropical Africa for bringing the epidemic(流行病) to their sleepy settlement of pastel stucco(涂料粉刷) homes.Oddly, the villagers were both right and wrong. After a month of investigation, Italian public health officials discovered that the people of Castiglione di Cervia were, in fact, suffering from a tropical disease, chikungunya, a relative of dengue fever normally found in the Indian Ocean region. But the immigrants spreading the disease were not humans but insects: tiger mosquitoes, who can thrive in a warming Europe.“This is the first case of an epidemic of a tropical disease in a developed, European country,” said Dr. Roberto, director of the World Health Organization’s Health and Environment program. “Warmer climat e change creates conditions that make it easier for this mosquito to survive and it opens the door to diseases that didn’t exist here previously. This is a real issue. It is not something a crazy environmentalist is warning about.”The local government immediately set about killing the bugs in the hope of containing the epidemic. Workers sprayed insecticides and went into each family’s garden, emptying flower pots, fountains to remove the mosquitoes’ breeding ground. By early September, things went for the better.But the biggest mystery is whether chikungunya will emerge here next summer. In the tropics, it is a year-round disease, since the mosquitoes breed continually. With climate change at hand, Dr. Bertollini said, chikungunya will surely be back somewhere in Europe again.41. People suffering from the disease _________.A. increased dramatically by mid-SeptemberB. had a high fever followed by coldC. cancelled the most important summer holidayD. thought the government was responsible42. Tiger mosquitoes are found in the village because _________.A. they have adapted themselves to the colder environmentB. the weather gets warmer and warmerC. the increasing number of Africans came to work thereD. the water is polluted seriously43. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. some diseases may spread to more placesB. environmentalists did not notice the disease beforeC. tiger mosquitoes breed all the year around continuouslyD. the disease is sure to come back in European countries44. The underlined word “containing” in Paragraph 5 means ________.A. coveringB. controllingC. preventingD. including45. Which of the following has NOT been mentioned in the passage?A. What did the government do with the situation?B. How many people were infected with the disease?C. Where did this kind of disease originate?D. How did doctors find out the reason for the disease?CA recent study released by the Population Fund reported that South Korea is the first of severalAsian countries with large sex imbalances at birth to reverse the trend, moving toward greater equality between the sexes. Last year, the ratio was 107.4 boys born for every 100 girls, still above what is considered normal, but down from a peak of 116.5 boys born for every 100 girls in 1990. The most important factor in changing attitudes toward girls was the radical shift in the country’s economy that opened the doors to women in the work force as never before and dismantled(取消)long-held traditions, which so devalued daughters that mothers would often apologize for giving birth to a girl.The government also played a small role starting in the 1970s. Gradually alarmed by the rise in sex-preference abortions, leaders mounted campaigns to change people’s att itudes, including one that featured the popular slogan “One daughter raised well is wo rth 10 sons!”In 1987, the government banned doctors from revealing the sex of a fetus(坯胎) before birth. But experts say enforcement was less strict because officials feared too many doctors would be caught. Demographers(人口统计者) say the rapid change in Sout h Koreans’ feelings about female babies gives them hope that sex imbalances will begin to shrink in other rapidly developing Asian countries — notably China and India — where the same combination of a preference for boys and new technology has led to the widespread practice of aborting female fetuses.In the meantime in China, the ratio was 120 boys born for every 100 girls. Vietnam reported a ratio of 110 boys to 100 girls. And although India recorded about 108 boys for every 100 girls, experts say the gap is sure to have widened next year.The study also warned that the widespread change of nature’s probabilities in Asia could eventually lead to increased sexual violence and trafficking(非法交易) of women as a generation of boys finds marriage prospects severely limited.46. Which Asian country ranks the third on the list of the sex imbalance last year according to the passage?A. China.B. Vietnam.C. South Korea.D. India.47. The government of South Korea took measures to ________.A. forbid doctors to abort female fetusesB. help the public cherish girls moreC. ban mothers from apologizing for delivering of female babiesD. promote the chances of tourism48. Preference for baby girls is increasing because of ________.A. more working opportunities provided in various fields.B. the breaking up of the long-held traditionsC. the basic shift in economyD. the development of technology49. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. India will see great progress toward the equality between sexesB. new technology helps somewhat to increase the sex imbalanceC. many boys may be forced to commit a crime to find a spouseD. one girl is worth 10 boys in South Korea50. The main idea of the passage is _________.A. Asian countries are trying to change the ratio of boys for girlsB. the greater sex imbalance causes many potential problemsC. South Korea sees the decline of sex imbalanceD. abortion of a female fetus is responsible for the sex imbalanceD10-year-olds in Hong Kong performed outstandingly on a recent international literacy study, putting on an excellent display of reading skills. According to the results of the survey, Hong Kong students were second only to Russia and ahead of England, showing a significant improvement in Hong Kong’s score compared with the study’s first round conducted in 2001. Local students then ranked 14th out of the 35 participants, tied with Singapore, Russia and Scotland at 528, far behind Sweden’s 561.At a time when books are waging a losing battle against the ubiquitous(几乎无处不在的) TV and Internet, this year’s survey results brought out an encouraging trend among students. Appreciation for books has been in steady decline, and the habit of reading is almost non-existent now. In a survey conducted in 2005, less than half the people of the country said they were readers.Children are overwhelmed(应接不暇)with information —information provided on TV and via the Internet. With the click of a mouse, the window on the world is open. As a result, there is hardly any interest in books. The habit of watching TV and staring at the monitor has dried up imaginations. Our children lack the power to imagine. Ask any child about a recent bestseller, and chances are you will be given blank stare. Reviving the habit of reading is thus a formidable(难对付的)challenge when today’s children seem to shy away from books.Summer and winter holidays would provide us added leisure time to read more books. As children, we used to have the unalloyed(纯真的) pleasure of reading books, flying on the wings of imagination and exploring magical worlds, visiting mysterious people and savoring(品味) blissful experience.The reading environment at home is an important factor. Parents can play a vital role in instilling(逐渐培养) a love of books in children. To start with, reading bedtime stories to kids regularly will help them develop a natural love for books. This must begin from early childhood.51. In the 2001 international literacy study, _______.A. Hong Kong scored 528, 40 points fewer than SwedenB. Russia performed as well as Hong KongC. among 35 participants, England ranked 14thD. there were more items except the display of reading skills in the survey52. Students take no interest in the books because ________.A. books provide less information than TVB. parents do not set a good exampleC. they have easy access to various informationD. schools make students do much homework53. According to the passage, reading books benefits children by ________.A. enriching their power to imagineB. taking them to various placesC. spending holidays meaningfullyD. improving the interpersonal relationship54. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A. it is impossible to develop students’love for booksB. creating a good social environment is important to readC. children may have no idea about the bestsellerD. reading used to be fun and instructive at any time55. The purpose of the passage is to _________.A. provide some figuresB. give some adviceC. describe a terrible trendD. present a reading habit第三部分书面表达(共两节,满分25分)第一节阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Scientists have found that having a high salary does not necessarily make you much happier. In fact, big earners spend less time enjoying themselves than their colleagues with smaller pay packets.Those who seek higher salaries end up spending a disproportionate (不成比例) amount of their day on unpleasant activities and not enough on simply having fun, said the researchers from Princeton University in the US.The team surveyed 900 women on different incomes. Each woman was asked to record her activities the previous day and how she felt at the time. This allowed the scientists to work out how much of the time each woman spent in a bad mood.The women were also asked to predict the bad-tempered levels of people in certain income groups. Most of the women thought those earning less than £11,000 a year spent more than half of their time in a bad mood. In fact, such women felt upset only a third of the time. The researchers say this shows that __________.The researchers then surveyed other 810 men, asking them to record their experiences, their income and how satisfied they were with life. This study showed that those who earned more were most likely to rate themselves as more satisfied—but this was not proved by their ups and downs of good and bad moods.Researcher Alan Krueger said, “People with high income think they should be satisf ied and reflect that in their answers. Income, however, matters very little for happiness.”56. What is the best title for this passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)57. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?The researchers asked the women to write down what they did the day before and what they felt as well.58. Translate the underlined sentence in Para. 5 into Chinese.59. Fill in the blank in Para. 4 with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 20 words.)60.

AWho wants to live in the coldest,windiest,driest place on Earth?Penguins,seals,whales,and some sea birds,of course.Fish,especially cod and ice-fish,also swim the surrounding seas.Hard to believe,but Antarctica is full of wildlife.These animals are specially adapted to Antarctica's severe environment.Plant life in the Antarctic region mostly consists of bryophytes (苔藓类植物),lichens,algae and fungi (菌类),with a rare species or two of flowering plants.Because there isn't enough plant life to sustain the plant-eating animals,they mostly eat each other.The Antarctic food chain is fairly simple.The Antarctic krill (a tiny shrimplike creature)is the keystone species of the ecosystem,which means that nearly everyone else eats it.Whales,penguins,seals,fish and many sea birds all eat krill,and krill eats even smaller phytoplankton (浮游生物).Want more shocking details?Leopard seals feed on penguins and other seals.Who eats the leopard seals?Killer whales,if they're around.How do they survive the Antarctic cold?First,blubber(海兽脂)and feathers are extremely important.The longer answer is that warm-blooded animals (birds and mammals)in Antarctica maintain constant (恒定的)internal body temperatures,just like warmblooded animals do in other climate zones.If they let their internal temperatures drop below freezing,they'd bee penguin popsicles(冰棒).Second,size matters.Technically speaking,a bigger bird has a smaller surface area to volume ratio,which means it has less relative area through which it loses heat.Most of the warm-blooded animals in Antarctica are oversized because big animals of the same shape stay warmer.Apart from the methods mentioned above,penguins have their own special social adaptation.They gather together with friends and family while constantly moving,so that the warm guys in the middle move to the outside and the colder folks take a turn in the center.1.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A.The food chain in the Antarctic ecosystem.B.The distribution of the Antarctic vegetation.C.Many kinds of Antarctic animals.D.The diversity of the Antarctic plants and animals.答案:A段意理解题。

外研版英语精品资料(精修版)模块综合测评(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AWe've colonised most of the world,but one vast stretch of the planet remains beyond our grasp: Antarctica.This frozen continent at the end of the earth has never been permanently occupied by man.Even if you're travelling there on a cruise ship,as most people do,the solitude(孤独)and the emptiness will envelop you.Not that solitude is the first thing that comes to mind when you're standing in the middle of a penguin colony on an Antarctic shoreline.When I visited in early February,there were thousands of birds packed tightly on every rock,both shy gentoo penguins and the bolder adélie penguins.They seemed happy to see us wandering among them; our cameras clicked crazily at the grey fluff-ball chicks who are tapping their parents' beaks (鸟嘴) to be fed.But penguins are by no means the only stars of the show here.I found it equally exciting to see a wandering albatross (信天翁) circling above our ship,dipping its great wings into the rolling waters of the Drake Passage.Or fat elephant seals rest on the beach in a soup of algae (海藻),shouting at each other like elderly members of a gentlemen's club.Most exciting of all,though,were the whales.As the call went up from the bridge of our ship —“Humpbacks!”—we spotted three of them leaping from the water,their magnificent tails emerging and dipping as if in slow motion,so close that we could see their great heads,their eyes and blowholes.Just as vast and attractive are the icebergs.The glassy world of the Weddell Sea is a fantastic picture of icy skyscrapers stretching to the horizon. Some are whipped by wind and water into fantastical shapes—oriental palaces,ruined fortresses,an Art Deco cinema.All of the above is exactly what makes a voyage here so extraordinary.A journey to Antarctica is a travel experience as special as you can have.【语篇解读】作者描述了自己到南极去的一次旅行经历,在作者的笔下南极的一切都充满了生机和活力。

ADear Mayor (市长) Lewis,As we know, the city budget for next year does not include enough money to maintain the playing fields and skating rink (溜冰场) in Center Park. We are aware that the storms that hit Lyndon last summer caused a great amount of damage, and the city’s budget should first be used to repair the high school, city hall, and airport. Don’t you realize, however, what a loss the par k will be?Center Park is the best place in the city for sports, picnics, concerts, walking, and enjoying nature. It plays a vital role in the education of our children. Each year science teachers bring their classes to the park on field trips to study plants and animals. Small children use the playground equipment every day. There are no other parks nearby for these kids to enjoy themselves. Every day I see the park on my way to school. It is absolutely necessary to support Center Park.The Lyndon High School Ice Skating Club would like to offer the city some help. We are suggesting a Skatathon. Our members would ask family, friends, and businesses for help, and then skate all day. For every mile skated, we would raise money to be used to maintain the fields and rink. Also, some of our members are willing to help the park staff do simple repairs at the rink.While it appears that the city can no longer afford Center Park, other facts tell us we have to maintain this park as a place for the entire Lyndon community (社区). It is a green, refreshing place to go in the middle of the city. We hope our idea is the first of many good ideas to keep Center Park green and clean.Sincerely yours,Cara Johnson21. What happened to Center Park last summer?A. Lack of money made it almost closed.B. A lot of equipment there was missing.C. It was abandoned by local people.D. It was badly damaged in the storms.22. In the author’s opinion, Center Park _____.A. means a lot to those living in LyndonB. should be open to the public for freeC. is too small for people to have funD. is more important than the airport23. A Skatathon might be run to _____.A. make skating more popularB. collect money to maintain Center ParkC. improve people’s healthD. encourage people to join the skating club24. Cara Johnson wrote the letter mainly to _____.A. express thanksB. make an apologyC. make a suggestionD. send her congratulationsBI am David Krakowski, a research scientist. Recently I spent three months studying sea life at Palmer Station, the U.S. research station 20 miles west of the Antarctic Peninsula.Because the weather outside was very cold and windy, I wore special clothing from the U.S. Antarctic Program. Anytime I was near the water, I wore a bright-orange float-coat that worked as a life preserver. The divers wore even more warm layers (层) and a watertight dry suit to protect them from the icy water. Inside the station, I worked in the indoor aquarium (水族馆) and the laboratories. Palmer Station was kept well heated, so there was nothing special about what I wore.You might think that the food at a polar station would be gross. You’d be wrong. We had two cooks who made delicious meals every day. At Palmer Station, fresh water was precious. Melting glacier ice for water used a lot of fuel, so we purified the salty seawater.On weekends, we hiked or skied on the glacier behind the station or took short boat trips. To be able to explore, everyone first went to Survival School. When we were on the glacier, we stayed on marked paths to avoid falling into deep cracks (裂缝) in the ice hidden by snow. On boat trips, we avoided dangerous icebergs. We were careful not to disturb any animals, because there are strict rules to protect them. A few times, penguins and seals visited us at the station, though.After a long day of work, everyone ate dinner together in the cafeteria. Then, I’d head for the game room. We watched movies on a big-screen TV, played computer games, and even had parties. No TV or radio stations come into Antarctica, so we communicated with the outside world usinge-mail. Because I woke every day at 7:00 am, I was exhausted by 11:00 pm. You need a good night’s sleep to be ready for another exciting day at Palmer Station!25. What might the author wear inside Palmer Station?A. A long heavy coat.B. A watertight dry suit.C. A bright-orange float-coat.D. Ordinary clothes like ours.26. The underlined word “gross” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “_____”.A. terribleB. freshC. enoughD. natural27. While exploring outside, the author _____.A. often played with penguins and sealsB. sometimes walked along certain routesC. never took a boat because of cold weatherD. would visit Survival School with his friends28. At Palmer Station, the author _____.A. usually slept badlyB. felt cut off from the outside worldC. could not listen to programs on the radioD. worked short hours every day29. What would be the best title for the text?A. David Krakowski: a brave scientistB. Living at the bottom of the worldC. History of the Antarctic PeninsulaD. Sea life at Palmer StationCCycling to school or work is now faster and more efficient (高效的) than any other types of transport in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. The city has gone all out to encourage its cyclists — it has laid out more than 1,000 km of cycle lanes (车道), and improved traffic signals at the crossroads.No wonder Copenhagen’s cyclists hardly break traffic rules. Several of the city’s main streets are closed to cars and instead have only cycle lanes and cycle parking areas. Bike lanes along the major roads are wide and slightly raised. Copenhagen is developing 38 bike superhighways along the main city routes. The city’s light rail system has recently permitted cyclists to bring their cycles on board, and it is free of charge.The city planners are absolutely committed to make cyclists feel safe. So when cyclists approach a major crossroads, sensors (传感器) a little way down the streets tell the traffic lights to give them a “green” signal, which means cyclists are rarely held up by traffic. It is simply a smoothcontinuous journey from home to school! Even in the bitterly cold winters, the cycle lanes are cleared of snow before car lanes.Lately, however, the government is facing a new and curious problem. Many cyclists have now started leaving their cycles just about anywhere. Often, the biggest challenge faced by cyclists is getting their bike out of these huge piles without getting chain oil onto themselves. Perhaps the solution lies in turning more car parking spaces into cycle parking areas, or else, building multi-story or underground parking spaces for cycles.Meanwhile, other urban cities are following this capital city’s example. London, Paris, New York, San Francisco, Beijing and many others are all adopting measures to encourage cyclists, inspired by the City of Cyclists.30. Copenhagen is putting in a great deal of effort to make it _____.A. more beautifulB. less crowdedC. environment-friendlyD. tourist-friendly31. To make cyclists feel safe, _____.A. cycling is not allowed on snowy daysB. the light rail system is closed at weekendsC. the city’s streets have been closed to carsD. traffic lights are much friendlier to cyclists32. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Copenhagen is on the way to be a real cyclists’ city.B. There is a strong need to set up more parking spaces for cycles.C. Cycling to school or work is very popular everywhere in Denmark.D. Strict traffic rules should be made to guarantee the safety of cyclists.DHorses had been running wild in the Americas for thousands of years, until they went extinct. Modern horses, as we know them, came to America in around 1519 AD with the Spanish settlers led by Hernán Cortéz.Over time, some developed into the domesticated (驯养的) horse. However, America has preserved many of these wild horses that came from their Spanish ancestors (祖先). There has been debate about the future of wild horse populations in America. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) says that there are about 33,780 wild horses throughout 10 states in the western part of the U.S.These wild horses have no natural enemies and are under federal protection, so their population size can double every four years. This does lead to problems. For many years, wild horses that came too close to cattle or sheep on public grazing lands (牧场) were caught or killed. Then a national campaign encouraged states and the federal government to protect the animals as a symbol of the American West. In 1971, a law was passed to allow only agents of the BLM to gather the horses as part of their work in preserving federal lands.Most people (scientists included) believe that wild horse populations need to become a lot smaller. The BLM, which keeps track of wild horses, suggests that we have about 14,000 more horses than can exist in balance with the ecosystems that they live in. This causes a huge problem that has to be dealt with both environmentally and politically. A solution needs to be found not only to preserve the species but to also keep its population under control. And then, politically this needs to be done in some way.Some things have already been done to try to get the number of wild horses down, which include adoption of wild horses and the practice of giving vaccines (疫苗) to the female horses to make them unable to reproduce.33. What was the main reason people caught or killed wild horses?A. To make money.B. To get pleasure.C. To control their numbers.D. To protect domestic animals.34. According to the BLM, _____.A. it is impossible to keep track of wild horsesB. it is wrong to give vaccines to the female horsesC. the number of wild horses should be brought down to about 19,780D. the symbol of the American West doesn’t have to be wild horses35. In the text, the author mainly talks about _____.A. the Bureau of Land ManagementB. America’s wild horse problemC. life in the American WestD. native horses in America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。

He spent much of that time reading, text-messaging and sleeping rather than speeding up."There was one day that I didn't move, not even an inch, "said Bai, an inhabitant of lining in Inner Mongolia, a city at the western end of the traffic jam.Chinese officials said that the congestion is mainly because of the maintenance^tP )proj ects that began in mid-Augustand are scheduled to be completed in mid-September. Trucks carrying 8 tons or more of coal or fruit have been responsible for damaging the roadway, thus making the work necessary.Drivers who often use the route know that heavy traffic has long been a fact of life/'The problem is really that there're too many cars and trucks and not enough (车道),"Bai said.46We drivers are used to this sort of thing happening.^, The two national freeways are heavily used by trucks carrying coal from the recently opened fields of Inner Mongolia to China's coastal cities.The seemingly endless jam began on the 6 and spread to the 110, which runs (平行的),when officials sought to ease the traffic on the 6.The Global Times, and English-language newspaper, said the jam had eased somewhat in the last two days, but inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads.The congestion has created an economy of its own. Vendors^®)sell boxed lunches, noodles and drinking water to the travelers, often at jacked-up prices. And because of the long-standing problems along the highways, dozens of small hotels have appeared, attracting drivers who need a stop to catch more serious sleep.1.According to the text, the 110 was mainly damaged by.A.too many carsB. bad weatherC. poor maintenanceD. heavy trucks2.What can we infer from the text?A.Bai Xiaolong was bom in Tianjin.B.The problem of traffic jams in China will be solved soon.C.Chinese officials think it is necessary to build more lanes.D.The local people don't think the congestion has eased.3.The underlined word t4jacked-up^in the last paragraph probably means"A. highB. rightC. specialD. low4.What would be the best title of the passage?A.The congestion creates an economy of its ownB.Traffic jam near Beijing stretches on for daysC.The traffic has improved in BeijingD ・ Truck drivers in China live a hard life六、短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同学写的以下作文。
