三、阅读理解(40分)

(A)

Men have always wanted to fly like birds．Birds can fly easily because they are light，but men’s bodies are heavier．

Men first went up into the air in balloons．These are big bags，and they are filled with gas．Hydrogen (氢气) is a useful gas for balloons．It is lighter than air．Helium is also lighter than air , but it costs a lot of money . So balloons are usually filled with hydrogen．Balloons

have to fly with the wind as they have no engines (引擎) to drive them．Later，men made airships．These were balloons with engines．They were also filled with hydrogen．Aircraft with wings now take people across the world．Powerful engines drive these machines across the sky．Some of the engines are like the engines of cars，but they are more powerfu1．

There is another kind of engine which we call the jet engine．An English engineer invented the jet engine．In May 1941 his new engine was fixed in an aircraft，and the aircraft flew quite well．At the same time，the Germans were also building a jet engine，but neither country told the other，of course．Jet engines are very powerful．Usually two，three or four are enough for an airplane；but some big aircraft have six．Anyone in a moving jet plane can feel the power of the engines．Jet planes can travel faster than sound．As a flying jet plane leaves its noise behind it, we do not hear it until it has gone．

A．men don’t have aircraft B．men’s bodies are too heavy C．men don't like birds D．men can’t drive the jet plane

( ) 4．We don’t hear the flying jet plane’s noise until it has gone because ． A．jet engines are very powerful

B．jet planes have enough jet engines

C．no one can feel the power of the engines D．jet planes travel faster than sound

( ) 5．The main idea,of the passage is about ．

A．the planes B．the balloons C．the fIying D．the jet planes (B)

Life es in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with kinds of situations．

Love plays an important role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could bee cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But

we always tend to take this for granted (认为理所应当). It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and bees sensitive to others’ feelings. Happiness achieved by bringing a smile on other's face gives a certain level of fulfillment(成就)．Peace of mind makes you feel happy. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are sad．Sadness es from the death of a loved one or the failure .But all of these things will pass away.

Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect.

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.

Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

43. In which section can readers probably read the passage?

A. Education B. Travel C. Lifestyles D. Business 44. In the passage，the author pares life to _________.

A. package B. happiness and sadness C. failure and success D. hope and despair 45. What does the underlined word “despair” mean in Chinese?

A. 颓废 B. 遗憾 C. 悲伤 D. 绝望

46. What’s the general meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage? A. What you only can choose is to work hard every day.

B. If you work hard today, you will have a better life in the future.

C. When choosing between “today” and “tomorrow”, you’d better enjoy tomorrow better. D. Enjoying a better tomorrow is your only choice. 47. What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To encourage people to love each other.

B. To tell people how to deal with happiness and sadness. C. To remind people of working hard for a better tomorrow. D. To give readers some information about life.

Hello everyone. I'm Amy. I want to be a volunteer of protecting animals. I'm glad to make a speech here. I am kind to others. I like looking after homeless animals. I am generous and often donate my money to the local charities. I have ever organized a charity show to raise

money for WWF. What’s more, I hand out leaflets to ask people to protect animals.

We should make friends with animals. I think protecting animals is protecting ourselves, so it is important for everyone to protect them.

If I can be a volunteer, I will work harder and do more meaningful things to protect animals. I will call on more people to love animals like me. I must try my best to make the world more beautiful.

Thanks for listening!

Aron Ralston is an American man who is interested in mountain climbing. As a mountain climber, Aron is used to taking risks. This is one of the exciting things about doing dangerous sports. There were many times when Aron almost lost his life because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah.

On that day, Aron's arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm, he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He was not ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much

blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help.

After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place. This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of. In this book, Aron tells of the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of one's life. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.

It was a time when innocent(纯真的) trust could be developed so that it will bloom into faith. \"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If God let us get wet，well maybe we just need to wash ourselves,\" her mom said.

Then off they ran. And we all stood watching as they ran past the cars and, yes, through the puddles. They got wet. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children 10 to their cars.

When you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will bee weak. When you start

using them again，they will slowly bee strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory(记忆)works in the same way.

When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps practicing his memory by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to bee strong.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错).But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备)，and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write but they have to remember things;they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memories are being exercised the whole time.

So if you want to have a good memory, learn from those people:practice remembering things in a way as other people do.

( )1.If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, .

A. they will bee weak and won't bee strong until you use them again B. they will bee stronger

C. they will bee weak but they will slowly bee strong again D. you can't use them any more

( )2 .The writer wants to tell us .

A. how to have a good memory B. how to read and write

C. how to use our arms or legs D. how to learn from other people B

Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off. She was happy to get a seat by herself. Just then, an air hostess came up to her and asked，\"Would you mind changing your seat? A man would like to sit with his wife.\" The only available seat was next to a girl with her arms broken, a black-and-blue face and a sad expression. \"I don't want to sit there,\" Mary thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke, \"She needs help.\" Finally, Mary moved to that seat.

The girl was named Emily. She had been in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment. When the snack and juice arrived, Mary realized that Emily could not feed herself. Mary considered offering to feed her but hesitated(犹像), as it seemed too impolite to offer service to a stranger. But then Mary realized that Emily's need was more important. Mary offered to help her eat. Although Emily was unfortable to accept, she agreed. They became closer and closer in a short time. By the end of the five-hour trip, Mary's heart had warmed, and the time was really better spent than if she had just sat by herself.

For years, parents have been telling kids to turn down the music. Now it's more important than ever for young people to hear the message.

Phones, iPads, and other devices deliver music that is clearer and louder than ever. That may sound like a good thing, but it is not so good for the health of the ears.

A new study confirms the danger. Scientists gave hearing tests to 170 students aged 11 to 17. The results showed that nearly 30% of the students had tinnitus(耳鸣), a condition that causes ringing in the ears. Ringing can be the result of a sudden loud noise. In that case, it is likely to go away. But constant ringing is a sign of trouble.

\"These weren't kids who had just e from a rock concert,\" Dr Larry Roberts told Times For Kids. \"We made sure they hadn't heard any loud sounds for a day or two.\"

Since the kids' tinnitus is a continuing condition, it is not likely to go away. Ongoing ringing in the ears is a sign of hearing loss. \"There's no medical cure for tinnitus,\" warns Roberts. \"These students will need hearing assistance earlier in life than others who don't have tinnitus.\"

Aside from the threat of future hearing loss，students with tinnitus also face immediate effects. They are more sensitive to loud sounds. They may have difficulty concentrating(集中精力)and sleeping.

What can you do to keep your hearing sharp? Follow the 60/60 rule. Set the volume under 60%. Don't use a device for more than 60 minutes a day.

( )6. What does \"the message\" in Paragraph 1 refer to(指的是)? A. The result of the study. B. Turn down the music.

C. Clearer and louder music isn't good. D. There's no medical cure for tinnitus.

( )7 .Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. In the author's opinion, it's good for us that devices play clearer and louder music. B. More than 30% of the students in the tests had tinnitus. C. Tinnitus is a problem with no medical cure.

D. Hearing loss is an immediate effect of tinnitus. ( )8 .What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage? A. To show the bad effects of tinnitus. B. To show the result of a study.

C. To warn young people to turn down the music. D. To suggest the ways to keep one's hearing sharp. D

Why should students play sports? Some people think that students play sports in order to get exercise. Others think it can help students have fun. But that is not enough.

If students play sports, they can get more than healthy bodies. Why? Here are three more reasons.

Students who play sports do better in school. Some people think that doing exercise will take up students' study time. But a recent study has shown that students who play sports get better scores in school than those who don't. Exercise gets students to learn, remember things and concentrate better.

Students who play sports develop their teamwork spirits and learn problem-solving skills. When they are working together with others to win games and reach goals, they're learning how to be successful in practice. And these skills will be useful to them for study or their future work.

Playing sports can also improve confidence. Students who play sports feel better about themselves. When they know they can improve and reach their goals by practicing, it builds their confidence. And sports can also help them municate with others actively and make new friends. 1. Why do students who play sports get higher marks in school?

2. Mary is a shy girl, how can sports help her according to the article? 3. Are you going to play sports with your friends every day? Why or why not?

When the 4-year-old British royal family member Prince George started his first school day in September, Chinese language was on his school timetable. And he was not alone. A report from the British Council shows that about 51% of UK parents want their children to learn Chinese, as Chinese is believed to be one of the most useful languages to know. In fact, the popularity

of Chinese drove the UK government to launch the Mandarin Excellence Program in September last year. Its aim is to make at least 5,000 British state secondary school students fluent in Chinese by 2020. Yet, UK isn’t the only country showing growing interest in Chinese.

Many US famous people like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Malia Obama, daughter of former US president Barack Obama, study Chinese as a second language. So far, 67 countries and regions have included Chinese in their national school timetable. So why are so many countries interested in learning Chinese? One reason could be that as China keeps developing rapidly, Chinese is becoming a useful tool for peoples work and life.

Do you find it difficult to learn math and history? A recent study carried out by scientists from University of London may help you out. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the morning and better grades in history if they had history lesson in the afternoon.

The researchers did the study at a secondary school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day， they scored on average 7％ higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon Lower-ability students did worst when they were studying math in the afternoon. As for history， students taught in the afternoon scored on average 6% higher than when they were taught in the morning

Velichka Dimitrova, the leader of the study, said the findings show that we do better at different times of the day. “in the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something that repeats a lot like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention. In the afternoon, it seems that this process slows down. On the other hand history is better suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion. He suggests schools take this chance to improve students Performance just by changing their timetables

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day either by watching TV or reading newspapers.

Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors(编辑) decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers, but newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print pletely different stories from those on TV.

Secondly, a new story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kinds of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about air crashes.

49. According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now? A. They tell others news stories from place to place on foot or by horse. B. They learn about news stories by watching TV or reading newspapers. C. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes. D. They listen to the radio every day to get some information.

50. The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that people can_______. A. learn more about the same news story from a newspaper B. read the news story more quickly in a newspaper

C. read news stories in other countries only by reading newspapers D. watch TV news reports about their own country

51. According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV? A. Every day most people go to work by underground.

B. A student in our class was hurt when we had a PE lesson. C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn't been caught. D. The bike in front of your house is lost for a few days. (C)

On May 23, Shenzhen introduced new rules in order to prevent the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a group of people,” said a post on Sina Weibo.

A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

Many people say that they jaywalk(乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research（研究）group at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore(忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.

However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should e first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.

Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison（监狱）. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.

But calling on people to obey rules is more important. To pletely solve the problem, everyone should understand the importance of obeying the traffic rules. 52. The phrase “the team” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A. A CCTV news program. B. A research group at Tongji University. C. A post on Sina Weibo. D. A daily newspaper.

53. How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience？

A. About five minutes. B. Less than one minute.

C. Less than one and a half minutes. D. More than ten minutes. 54. Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?

A. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules. B. Because there are too many people on the road. C. Because the red light lasts too long. D. Because people have less patience.

55. To solve the problem of jaywalking, the writer suggests that we should __________.

A. punish the jaywalkers B. reduce the time of red lights

C. ignore the traffic rules D. call on people to obey the traffic rules

David Ho is one of the most famous scientists in the world because of his research on fighting

AIDS.

These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year” between their graduation from high school and their university studies. This means that they take a year off to do something else, before they start their studies.

For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favourite activity ─ and Australia is the favourite place to go.

Many parents, teachers, and business people agree that travelling can teach important values.

“After a year of travelling, I felt I’d grown up. I had learnt the importance of relationships with people.”

There are many panies around the world that wele these students on their projects ─ helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills ─ the skills include making decisions and trying to solve problems on your own.

Finally, I want to tell you that the knowledge and experience you get will be very useful to you one day. If several university graduates are applying(申请) for the same job, “gap year” work experience allows you to say, “I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can help you get the job!

( ) 51. If you have a “gap year”, that means you will have a year off ______. A. before you go to high school

C. after the final exam

B. before you go to university D. after you go to university B. The man realized his mistake.

D. The man didn’t believe the cat.

D. Many years.

( ) 52. Travelling can teach you values such as learning about ______. A. flights

B. money

C. relationships

D. jobs

( ) 53. To help poorer people, you have to be prepared ______. A. to live in another country C. to work for free

B. to be paid very well

D. be paid very little

( ) 54. University graduate with “gap year” work experience often ______ than graduates

without such experience.

A. get more money

B. make more friends

D. get more jobs in other countries

C. get jobs more easily

( ) 55. We can know that the experience of having a gap year is usually ______. A. helpful
