The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didnt see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort. trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(溅出) the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site. Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer laying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lift its head with great effort to lap(舔) up the water cupped in my beautiful boys hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops. and more drops. and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, Himself, was weeping with pride.( )1.What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A.The writer lived in the hottest place.B.It wouldnt rain during the dry season.C.All the crops in the area were dead.D.People were in great need of rain. ( )2.Billy walked carefully to the woods because _.A.he was not old enough to walk freelyB.he didnt want to be followed by his motherC.he tried not to spill the water in his hands D.he wanted to attract his mothers attention( )3.Why did the writer almost scream for Billy to get away?A.Because she saw the most amazing site in the woodsB.Because those large deer appeared dangerousC.Because she saw a baby deer laying on the groundD.Because the deer suffered from heavy loss of water参考答案：DCB B Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together, they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhooD.Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests. One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（停赛）of the team for at least three years.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义).( )4.According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have _.A.created goodwill between the nations B.brought about only false national prideC.hardly showed any international friendship D.put an end to misunderstanding and hatred( )5.The underlined word “disallowed” (in Paragraph 2) means “_”.A.permitted to pass B.considered as reasonableC.won by the other side D.refused to accept( )6.What did the manager mean by saying, “Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished"?A.His team would no longer take part in international games.B.Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C.There should be no more Hocke y matches organized by the Federation.D.The Federation should break up.( )7.The author gives the example in paragraph 2 to show _.A.how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB.that sportsmen are often against the final decisionsC.that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD.that unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games参考答案：CDBC C The flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It is, rather, the product of thousands of years development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. Peoples food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked.The king of China around 1000 B.C was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.( )8.The best title for the passage would be “_”. A.Development of the National FlagB.Power of the National FlagC.Types of FlagsD.Uses of Flags( )9.The underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 means _.A.impossible to make sure ofB.likely to be protectedC.easy to be damagedD.difficult to find( )10.The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because _.A.they could tell direction B.they could bring good luck to ancient fightersC.they were handed down by the ancestorsD.they were believed to stand for natural forces( )11.What does the author know of the first national flag?A.He knows when it was sent to Europe.B.He believes it was made in Egypt.C.He thinks it came from China.D.He doubts where it started.参考答案：ACDD D In cooperation with German experts, Several scientists from the University of Bradford believe that they finally solved a mystery that has been confusing millions of people: why our hair turns gray with age. The researchers came up with their results by examining native hair and cells from human hair follicles(毛囊）.They say the secret turns out to be hidden in catalase(过氧化氛酶），which is causing hair to turn gray. Catalase production goes down with age and stress, allowing hydrogen peroxide (过氧化氧）in the hair to do its favorite jobmaking hair gray, and then white, by blocking the normal production of melanin (黑色素）.Melanin is our haifs natural pigment that is responsible for the color of hair. It also determines the color of our eyes and skin. Dr. Gerald Weizmann, an editor of a journal, says, AH of oui; hair cells make a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide, but as we get older, this little bit becomes quite a lot，and our hair turns gray and then white." The new study brings hope for millions of people who have to color their hair: to finally obtain some shampoo that will decrease levels of hydrogen peroxide and therefore restore grayor white hair to its natural color or even prevent it from turning gray. The researchers are already conducting an experiment with such a drug on a few volunteers with gray hair and expect to get the results in the next two to three months, if everything works out, millions of people will choose between this drug and other previously used expensive dyes. However, even if the drug works, it will take at least several years before it can be brought to the market.( ) 12. What is the passage mainly about?A. The effect that gray hair has on people.B. The chemical elements of peoples hair.C. The reason why people's hair turns gray.D. New drugs to prevent people's hair from turning gray.( ) 13. According to the passage, people's hair turns gray because of .A. a decrease in catalaseB. the death of hair cellsC.the production of melaninD. a decrease in hydrogen peroxide( ) 14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The new study shows its harmful to color our hair with dyes.B. Dr. Gerald Weizmann is in charge of the new drug experiment.C. Our hair cells make lots of hydrogen peroxide when we are young.D. We may restore our gray or white hair to its natural color with shampoo.( ) 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Only a small number of people can use the new drug.B. Most of the volunteers in the experiment are old people.C. The drug cannot be brought to the market soon even if it works.D. The researchers have already known the results of the experiment.参考答案：CADC第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying. 16 However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace (支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle. Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the "ten and two" position. Undo your seatbelt. 17 Untie the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call. 18 Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car. 19 Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival. 20 While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what youre doing.A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.B. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.C. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.D. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.E. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.F. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.参考答案：DFAGC7 / 7
