Text 10 Last Saturday, ?a storm tore through two villages in South Africa, destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or torn roofs. ?One person was killed, several were badly injured and taken to the hospital, and a number of other people suffered minor injuries. Altogether over two hundred people have become homeless as a result of the storm. A farmer, Mr.Smith, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted over an hour. “ ?I was in the kitchen with my wife, and our children were still sleeping，” he said. “When we heard a loud noise, we woke our children up immediately. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We managed to climb out, but then I saw that one of my children was missing. ?I went back inside and found him, safe but frightened.” Soldiers helped to bring people out of the flooded area, and the government provided food, clothes and houses. 參考答案：1.B　2.C　3.B　4.C　5.A　6.C　7.B　8.C 9．A　10.B　11.C　12.A　13.C　14.C　15.A　16.B　17.B　18.C　19.A　20.B 第二部分　閱讀理解(共兩節(jié)，滿分40分) 第一節(jié)　(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分) 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 A We are all fascinated by mysteries. To some extent we love to expect strange phenomenon occurring before us. Here are some amazing unsolved mysteries. The Georgia Guidestones On one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia stands a giant granite monument (花崗巖紀(jì)念碑). Carved in eight different languages on the four giant stones are 10 Guides. The origin of this strange monument is covered in mystery because no one knows the true identity of the man, or men, who constructed it. All we know is that in June 1979, a man identifying himself as R．C.Christian announced that he would build something to convey a message to mankind, but to date, no one knows who R．C.Christian really was. Bermuda Triangle The Bermuda Triangle is a triangular area of the Atlantic Ocean. Many planes, ships, and boats are said to have disappeared in this triangle without a trace, which led to the belief that “supernatural” forces exist in this area of the sea. Could there truly be an unnatural force at work in this geographical triangle or are these disappearances merely coincidence? Either way, numerous people remain unwilling to step over the boundary line into the Devil's Triangle. Loch Ness Monster The Loch Ness Monster is a legendary animal that supposedly lives in the depths of Loch Ness, a long narrow lake located in rural Scotland. Stories concerning the monster date back to the 6th century AD. Over the years thousands have reported seeing a long neck appearing from the water with a small head of an unknown creature. Pictures have even been taken of this “creature”， but most scientists refuse to believe any creature of this kind lives in the Loch Ness. So far, the evidence is inadequate, and the controversy continues. 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了世界上三大未解之謎，包括佐治亞州的巨石陣、百慕大三角和尼斯湖水怪。 21．Why is the Georgia Guidestones mysterious? A．It is on one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County. B．There are eight different languages on the stones. C．The person who built it remains unknown. D．R. C. Christian could convey a message to mankind. 解析：選C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The Georgia Guidestones部分第二段內(nèi)容可知，巨石陣很神秘是因?yàn)闆]有人知道是誰(shuí)建造了它。故選C。 22．Why are people unwilling to enter the Bermuda Triangle? A．It is too remote from land. B．The chance of surviving is slim there. C．There are supernatural forces in the area. D．All transportations have disappeared there. 解析：選B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)Bermuda Triangle部分第一段第二句可知，在百慕大三角經(jīng)常有飛機(jī)、輪船和小船失蹤；由此可推知，在百慕大三角人們幸存的可能性很小，所以許多人不愿意進(jìn)入百慕大三角地帶。故選B。 23．What can we know about Loch Ness Monster? A．It existed in the 6th century AD. B．It is said to have a long neck and a large head. C．It has been living in Loch Ness Lake for a long time. D．People haven't reached an agreement on its existence. 解析：選D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句可知，關(guān)于水怪的故事始于公元6世紀(jì)，并不是說水怪出現(xiàn)在公元6世紀(jì)，故排除A項(xiàng)；根據(jù)最后一段第二句中的“with a small head”可知，B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句可知，大多數(shù)科學(xué)家都不相信有這種水怪生活在尼斯湖中，故排除C項(xiàng)；根據(jù)最后一段最后一句可知，D項(xiàng)“人們對(duì)它的存在沒有達(dá)成一致意見”符合原文。故選D。 B Have you seen Jurassic Park? In this film, scientists use DNA kept for tens of millions of years to clone dinosaurs. They find trouble, however, when they realize that the cloned creatures are smarter and more dangerous than expected. That's nothing more than a fiction. But could we really clone endangered animals? To date, the most successful attempt to do so was the cloning of a gaur, a rare ox­like animal from southeast Asia. Scientists used a cow to bring the cloned baby gaur, named Noah. Two days after birth, however, Noah died from a common bacterial infection. Other endangered species that may be cloned include the African bongo antelope (羚羊), the Sumatran tiger, the cheetah (獵豹), and the giant panda. Next, could we really clone extinct animals? In theory? Yes. To do this, you need a well­kept source of DNA from the extinct animals such as wool mammoth (毛象), Tasmanian tiger, or even dinosaur, and a closely related species, still living, which could serve as a surrogate mother. In reality? Probably not. On the one hand, it's not likely that extinct animals' DNA could survive undamaged for such a long time. Cloning such extinct animals as wool mammoth, Tasmanian tiger, or dinosaur is much more difficult due to the lack of properly well­preserved DNA. On the other hand, for example, a gaur can have a cow as a surrogate mother, definitely not a monkey. But what about an extinct animal as unique as the panda? What species could possibly serve as a surrogate mother? Cloning presents many exciting possibilities. However, even if extinct animals were brought back, they could not survive in today's world. Not only do most extinct animals have no habitat to live in, but the other plants and animals they depended on for food may also be gone as well. 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　本文說明了在克隆滅絕動(dòng)物的過程中遇到的重重困難與障礙。即使克隆成功了，其賴以生存的棲息地和食物鏈也已經(jīng)被破壞，被克隆出來(lái)的動(dòng)物也無(wú)法繼續(xù)生存下去。 24．It can be learned from the text that . A．the gaur is an extinct species B．the gaur lives in Asia and is endangered C．scientists have cloned the African bongo antelope D．both the cheetah and the giant panda live in Asia 解析：選B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二、三段可知，印度野牛生活在亞洲的東南部，瀕臨滅絕。 25．The underlined words “a surrogate mother” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to a female who . A．gives birth to a baby of its own B．cannot give birth to a baby C．gives birth to a baby for another female D．provides DNA 解析：選C　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第五段的描述可知，此處表示的是，把一種動(dòng)物的DNA提取出來(lái)之后，在另外一種動(dòng)物的體內(nèi)進(jìn)行胚胎繁殖，而這種動(dòng)物就被稱為a surrogate mother，由此判斷，畫線部分意思為“代孕媽媽”。故C項(xiàng)正確。 26．The difficulty in cloning an extinct species is the lack of . A．both the well­preserved DNA and a surrogate mother B．both the habitat to live in and the well­preserved DNA C．both the well­preserved DNA and plants to live on D．both the habitat to live in and plants to live on 解析：選A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中的“On the one hand ... On the other hand ...”兩個(gè)方面的表述可知，克隆的困難在于一是要尋找滅絕動(dòng)物的保存完好的DNA，二是要尋找到合適的代孕的物種。故A項(xiàng)正確。 27．In the author's opinion, it is possible that . A．a(chǎn)ll the extinct species may be cloned B．extinct species may be cloned and easily survive C．a(chǎn) gaur can have a monkey as a surrogate mother D．some extinct species may be cloned, but not survive 解析：選D　推理判斷題。本文作者客觀敘述了在克隆滅絕動(dòng)物過程中所存在的種種困難與障礙。根據(jù)最后一段的表述可知，也許克隆存在眾多的可能性，但是即使克隆成功了，也許會(huì)由于其賴以生存的棲息地和食物鏈已經(jīng)滅絕而無(wú)法繼續(xù)存活下去。故D項(xiàng)正確。 C Plant cloning has been an agricultural technique used by farmers and gardeners for centuries. Grafting (嫁接) is a common form of plant cloning. Many plants in nature actually clone themselves and reproduce asexually (無(wú)性生殖地)． Cloned plants are much more predictable than normal plants, so their yield (產(chǎn)量) is more reliable. Cloned plants also reproduce faster, limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting. It is also often cheaper to produce seeds through cloning than through traditional methods. Plants can essentially be optimized so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available. With higher yield at a faster rate, farms can produce more food for more people while decreasing overall costs. Cloning can be used to wipe out diseases that previously killed off entire fields of crops. This would make plants immune to the kinds of diseases that farmers and gardeners around the world fear each year. Crop failures due to disease and virus could become a thing of the past. Also, plants that are near extinction can be brought back to life through cloning. Through cloning scientists can develop super fruits and vegetables of superior (更好的) nutritional quality. This could make for a healthier population overall. This has already been done through selective pollination (授粉), and genetic cloning could take it to the next level. By plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases, but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive. While there are some dangers to consider with plant cloning, there are plenty of benefits that could prove vital to the propagation (繁衍) of the human species. 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了植物克隆的好處。 28．The underlined word “optimized” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “ ”． A．grown　　　 B．produced C．perfected D．examined 解析：選C　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)“so that farmers or individual growers always have the best seeds available”可知，optimize與perfect的意思相近。 29．According to the text, cloned plants . A．have lower yield than normal plants B．need less care from people C．prevent various kinds of diseases D．have a shorter growth cycle 解析：選D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段中的“Cloned plants also reproduce faster, limiting the amount of time between planting and harvesting.”可知，克隆植物的生長(zhǎng)周期短。 30．What can we infer from the text? A．The fruits produced by cloned plants taste much better. B．There are more cloned plants than normal plants now. C．Plant cloning can disturb the laws of nature. D．People should avoid eating cloned fruits. 解析：選C　推理判斷題。從最后一段中的“By plant cloning we have a population of identical plants and all these plants equally suffer from the same diseases, but in nature the weak would die and the strong would survive.”可知，克隆會(huì)破壞自然界的規(guī)律。 31．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To warn the negative effects of plant cloning. B．To show different kinds of plant cloning. C．To predict the future of plant cloning. D．To introduce the advantages of plant cloning. 解析：選D　寫作目的題。文章的第二、三、四段都是在介紹植物克隆的好處，所以本文的目的是介紹植物克隆的好處。 D Facing increasing pressure to raise students' scores on standardized tests, schools are urging kids to work harder by offering them obvious encouragements. Happy Meals are at the low end of the scale. With the help of businesses, schools are also giving away cars, iPods, seats to basketball games, and—in a growing number of cases—cold, hard cash. The appeal of such programs is obvious, but the consequences of tying grades to goods are still uncertain. It's been a common tradition in middle­class families to reward top grades with cash as a way to teach that success in school leads to success in life. But for many disadvantaged minority children, the long­term benefits of getting an education are not so clear, according to experts. No one knows for sure how well cash and other big­ticket rewards work in education in the long run. But there are plenty of concerns that this kind of practice could have negative effects on kids. Virginia Shiller, a clinical psychologist, says that it's worth experimenting with cash encouragements but that tying them to success on a test is not a worthwhile goal. “I'd rather see rewards based on effort and responsibility—things that will lead to success in life，” she says. Even if rewards don't lead to individual achievement on a test, they could have a meaningful effect in the school. Charles McVean, a businessman and philanthropist (慈善家), started a tutoring program which pays higher­achieving students $10 an hour to tutor struggling classmates and divides them into teams. During the course of the year, students bond and compete. The team posting the highest math scores wins the top cash prize of $100. McVean calls the combination of peer (同齡人) tutoring, competition, and cash encouragements a recipe for “nothing less than magic”． For its part, the Seminole County Public Schools system in Florida plans to continue its report card encouragement program through the rest of the school year. The local McDonald's restaurants help the poor district by paying the $1,600 cost of printing the report card. Regina Klaers, the district spokeswoman, says most parents don't seem bothered by the Happy Meals rewards. “There are many ways we try to urge students to do well, and sometimes it's through the stomach, and sometimes it's the probability of students winning a car，” she says. “One size doesn't fit all.” 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　本文是一篇議論文。主要論述了物質(zhì)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)對(duì)學(xué)生的成績(jī)是否有促進(jìn)作用。 32．According to the text, it is a common practice for schools to . A．offer free meals to students with high scores B．tie students' grades to material rewards C．educate students to form a business sense D．cooperate with business to improve teaching 解析：選B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第三句及其下一句中的“tying grades to goods”可推斷出，將學(xué)生的成績(jī)與物質(zhì)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)聯(lián)系起來(lái)已成了學(xué)校的一個(gè)慣例。故選B。 33．According to the text, the long­term results of giving students cash as rewards in education are . A．negative B．optimistic C．uncertain D．disappointing 解析：選C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知，給學(xué)生現(xiàn)金作為獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)在教育中產(chǎn)生的長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)結(jié)果還不確定。故選C。 34．The tutoring program run by Charles McVean . A．hires some excellent teachers to teach the struggling students B．has a meaningful effect in inspiring students' enthusiasm on study C．is a program combining tutoring, competition and future job offers D．rewards the student with the highest scores with cash prize of $100 解析：選B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句及其后面列舉的Charles McVean 的輔導(dǎo)項(xiàng)目可推知，本段用Charles McVean的輔導(dǎo)項(xiàng)目來(lái)說明獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)對(duì)激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)熱情有重要影響。故選B。 35．We can learn that in Seminole County . A．there are various ways to inspire students to study hard B．many parents are not satisfied with the Happy Meals rewards　 C．the local McDonald's restaurants provide the rewards for poor students D．people are searching for a good­for­all method to urge students to do well 解析：選A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句可知，Seminole County有各種各樣鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生努力學(xué)習(xí)的方法。故選A。 第二節(jié)　(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Stress means pressure or tension. 36 Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems. 37 Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory (呼吸的) system. It can cause a person to breathe too fast. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause s
