17、ewspaper B. Magazine C. Textbook D. Science fiction BSome years ago, on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the cold swimming hole behind his house.In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he did not realize an alligator（短吻鳄）was swimming towards the shore. His

18、mother in the house, looking out of the window, saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In fear, she ran towards the water, yelling to the son as loudly as she could.It was too late. The alligator reached him.From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alliga

19、tor got his legs. That began an incredible tug of war（拔河）between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother would not let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, ran from his truck, and shot the alligator.Amazingly, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, t

20、he little boy survived. His leg were extremely scarred by the animals attack, and on his arms were scratches (抓痕) from mothers fingernails where she had tried to hang on to the son she loved.The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant

21、legs . And then, he proudly said to the reporter: “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom would not let go.”You and I can identify with (理解) that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from alligator, or anything quite so dramatic . But the scars of a pa

22、inful past. Some of those scares are ugly and have caused us deep regret.But some wounds, my friend, are because someone has refused to let go. In your struggle, maybe someone has been there holding on to you. 24. Upon seeing the alligator getting close to her boy, the mother _ . A. dived into the c

23、ool water at once B. was too afraid to move C. shouted a warning to her boy D. got ready to fight the crocodile25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. There were scars on the boys arms and legs. B. The mother won the “match” because of her strength.C. A farmer scared

24、the alligator away by hitting it in the eyes.D. A crocodile attacked the boy when he and his mother were swimming. 26. By saying, “But look at my arms.

25、urvived an attack D. how great his mother was 27. According to the author, how are we all similar to the boy in the story? A. We can be brave and never let go of our loved ones. B. We may be faced with danger in our lives. C. We may have to depend on the kindness of strangers. D. We may have scars t

26、hat come from pain and love. CBeing lonely in the crowd might seem ridiculous. But according to a recent survey, the situation is all too common. Loneliness and other anxiety problems worrying about lifes pressures can even lead to self-murder.An article in China Daily gave no reason for this other

27、than the usual blaming of the post-80s generation. According to a high level official, young people suffering from discouragement are mostly “spoiled and have not been taught to be independent, responsible and express thank-you.” Well, how do you like that? First, I dont think Chinas youth are exact

28、ly spoiled. They certainly have more things than their parents did, but a lot of the money spent on them is for their education including various extra classes.Discouragement and anxiety are now the fastest growing challenges in modern societies. We sense a lack of close friends who can talk to hone

29、stly and openly. In 1985, a US study found that one in ten people did not have such a friend. In 2006, it was one in four. Its easy to see the connection between loneliness and discouragement. But what actually causes this increasing loneliness?Surely, with Internet social networking sites such as K

30、aixin, we have more friends than ever. A new study has shown that the more time teenagers spend in front of computers, the less close they are to friends and family. Kaixin or QQ may be fun but it lacks meaning, compared to personal connections in the real world.And then there are those endless onli

31、ne games popular with young Chinese but increasingly there are more interesting choices. For example, new sports such as skateboarding are starting to catch on（流行） in bigger cities, as is playing music in a band. These creative hobbies are done in a group and thus friendship can be stronger. Hopeful

32、ly young people will also be drawn out of the Internet cafes and interactive computer games that in fact fail to recreate a real and interactive experience.28. According to the high level official, it is easy for teenagers lacking independence and responsibility to _. A. become spoiled B. play endle

33、ss online games C. suffer from loneliness and anxiety D. refuse to express gratitude29. What does the writer think of the Internet social networking site Kaixin? A. Open but ridiculous. B. Honest and responsible. C. Real and fun. D. Interesting but meaningless.30. It can be inferred in Paragraph 3 t

34、hat _. A. its now more difficult for people to find close friends to have an honest chat with B. parents focus mostly on childrens education rather than the personality building C. young people have no idea of expressing appreciation because of being spoiled D. teenagers will recreate a real and int

35、eractive experience to strengthen friendship31. According to the text, which of the following can help us avoid being lonely in the crowd? A. To stay long in Internet cafes.B. To focus on extra courses. C. To give up our own hobbies.D. To play music in a band.DElectric cars are dirty. In fact, not o

36、nly are they dirty, but they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions (排放) vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Apart from the f

37、ew people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators (发电机). Generators are fueled by something-usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal (地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricit

38、y mainly by burning something. In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not true. Its as if the California Greens are covering their eyes-“If I cant see it, its not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly

39、 (极其) efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat-at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon

40、 of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearly as far-so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for politic

41、al, technical, and economic reasons, we dont use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When its a powe

42、r plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.32. Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in Paragraph 2?A. be familiar with. B. fail to unders

43、tand.C. be curious about. D. show their interest in.33. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run _.A. at least 25 miles B. more than 25 miles C. less than 25 miles D. as far as 25 miles34. In the authors opinion, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more _.A. harmf

44、ul B. expensive C. efficient D. environmentally-friendly35. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. electric cars batteries are no longer poisonous in the landfillB. electric cars are not clean since we get electricity mainly by burning something C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to

45、protect our environmentD. now electric cars are used more than their gasoline-powered cousins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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Homework is a major part of going to school: Its your teachers way of evaluating how much you understand whats going on in class. 36 Luckily,
