　　__34__signs of plant or animal life have been detected by instruments landed on Mars，__35__the landing vehicles have been sent there for a few years.

　　16.A.it is B.it

　　C.it to be D.was

　　答案：C　根據(jù)新的資料顯示，火星似乎并不像我們過去認為的那么干燥。it代替前面的專有名詞Mars; to be 為不定式的省略式，其后面省略了dry。 不定式的省略式通常省略to后面的成分，但后面為to be結構時，就要保留be而省略其后面的成分。

　　17.A.expected B.hoped

　　C.required D.sent

　　答案：A　expect somebody to do something表示“期待某人做某事”。這里用其被動語態(tài)形式：be expected to do sth。表示“某人被期待做某事”。

　　答案：C　此處的much用來修飾比較級，其它選項都不能修飾比較級，但quite better除外。

　　21.A.a few B.many

　　C.for D.with

　　答案：D　注意此題的關鍵是要搞清它不是be different from結構，因為此結構后的名詞前要用限定詞，而該空后面的名詞前無限定詞，故可排除。此空與第24空一樣，為“with復合結構”作狀語。

　　27.A.energetic B.great

　　C.heavy D.powerful

　　答案：D　這里用powerful形容冰河對山谷沖刷的威力巨大。

　　28.A.there's B.there're

　　C.here's D.here're

　　29.A.appearance B.way

　　C.form D.shape

　　答案：C　詞組in the form of的意思是“以……形式”。此句意思是“任何表面上的水將以冰的形式存在。”

　　30.A.have B.having

　　C.carry D.carrying

　　答案：B　from為介詞，后面接動詞的­ing形式，故可排除A和C兩個選項;本空為have to 結構，意思是“必須;不得不”，所以其后接動詞原形。

　　C.ago D.before

　　答案：B　“in ages past”表示“在過去的歲月中”。

　　34.A.Not B.No

　　C.Nor D.Never

　?、?閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分，滿分40分)

　　閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　A

　　In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet(彗星). When the fragments(碎片)landed in the southern part of the grand planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet?

　　The year is 2094. It had been announced that a comet is heading towards the earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the earth. The news has caused panic.

　　On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the spend of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and million of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.

　　Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the earth, but the north won't escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosion. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.

　　Could it really happen? It has already happened more than once in the history of the earth. The dinosaur were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?

　　36.Which of the following is NOT true according to the author's description of the disaster in 2094?

　　A.The whole world becomes extremely cold.

　　B.All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed.

　　C.The whole mankind becomes extinct.

　　D.The visit of the comet results in wars.

　　答案：C　辨別正誤題。據(jù)第三自然段的描述可知，A、B、D均符合本文所假想的事實，只有C不符。文中“No more than 10 million people have survived”一句意為“只有一千萬人幸存下來”，而C項說全人類都滅絕了。顯然與文章不符。題干要求找出不對的選項。

　　37.Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?

　　A.Because they could only live in the warm climate.

　　B.Because they once dominated the earth.

　　C.Because their extinction indicates future disasters.

　　D.Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。第三段中，作者描述假想的人類災難……最后一段提到生活在地球上的恐龍在65 million years ago突然消失(即滅絕)，許多科學家相信地球曾受到過外空星體碎片的襲擊，故而導致恐龍絕種。由此暗示人類未來的災難。

　　38.In writing the passage, the author intends to________.

　　A.give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future

　　B.prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed

　　C.tell the historical development of the earth

　　D.warn of a possible disaster in the future

　　答案：D　觀點態(tài)度題。本題要求考生推測作者意圖。作者通過一段幻想的災難和一段地球歷史上出現(xiàn)過的恐龍絕跡的事實以及科學家們分析恐龍絕跡的原因，來警示人類未來可能發(fā)生的災難。

　　39.It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n)________.

　　A.horror story

　　B.news report

　　C.research paper

　　D.article of popular science

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。據(jù)全文大意，又據(jù)文章的性質(zhì)，可判定D為最佳選項。A、B、C均不太妥當。

　　B

　　(2014·山西省大同高一下學期期中)

　　Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.

　　Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.

　　We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35, 880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae (天線) facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit. So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.

　　Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.

　　40.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?

　　A.Sending information for weather forecast.

　　B.Taking photographs of the Earth.

　　C.Sending TV pictures.

　　D.Providing food for airplane pilots.

　　答案：D　從第一段可知，A、B項的內(nèi)容都是衛(wèi)星的功能，從第三段可知，衛(wèi)星還可以發(fā)送電視畫面，而D項內(nèi)容文中并未提及。

　　41.What's the speed the earth rotates at?

　　A.35,880 kilometers per hour.

　　B.335,880 kilometers per hour.

　　C.11,000 kilometers per hour.

　　D.110,000 kilometers per hour.

　　答案：C　從第三段的This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates.可知C項為正確答案。

　　42.What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?

　　A.A satellite.

　　B.A little rocket.

　　C.A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.

　　D.The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.

　　答案：C　上一句話的意思是：有時候我們看到天空中的衛(wèi)星好像呆在同一個地方，這是因為……，故本題答案為C。

　　43.Which is true of satellites?

　　A.A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.

　　B.Every time a satellite gets broken, it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired.

　　C.A broken satellite is never left in space.

　　D.They often crash into each other.

　　答案：A　從最后一段的第三句話可知A項正確。

　　C

　　Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket，two pairs of socks，a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack，which was very full, but he didn't have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round­trip ticket and a small package.

　　“Give this package to Jean Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily，” Tony said，“You don't have any luggage, right?”

　　“Only this backpack，” Brian answered，“You said I could bring one carry­on bag.”

　　“That's right. One carry­on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”

　　“Thanks.”

　　Is Brian a criminal? Not at all. He is an air­courier. And he paid only $ 110 for the round­trip ticket to Paris. Air­couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often，the only way they can do this is to use an aircourier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air­courier，but it is quick.

　　Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as aircouriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air­courier travel isn't for everyone. But if you have very little money，can be flexible about your travel plans，and don't mind wearing the same clothes for a week，it can be a great way to take a vacation!

　　文章大意：文章主要講述了利用航空快遞的利與弊。

　　44.Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?

　　A.Because they were the uniforms for air­couriers.

　　B.Because that made him easier to be recognized.

　　C.Because he would be charged for taking much luggage with him.

　　D.Because he was required not to have much luggage with him.

　　答案：D　細節(jié)理解題。由第三段“Only this backpack，” Brian answered, “You said I could bring one carry­on bag.”可知，Brian只被允許帶一個背包。

　　45.Who was Tony?

　　A.He might be an air­courier company clerk.

　　B.He might be a guard at the airport.

　　C.He might be Brian's friend.

　　D.He might be a customs official.

　　答案：A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Tony gave him a round­trip ticket and a small package.托尼給了他(Brian)一張往返的機票及一個小包裹”，以及結合下文可知，Tony可能是一位航空快遞公司的業(yè)務員。

　　46.Businesses choose the air­courier service because ________.

　　A.it costs less B.it is flexible

　　C.it grows fast D.it saves time

　　答案：D　細節(jié)理解題。從倒數(shù)第二段最后一句“It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air­courier，but it is quick.用航空快遞投遞包裹不便宜但是它迅速。”可知選D。

　　47.Air­courier travel is a good choice for those who ______.

　　A.have much money

　　B.hate wearing the same clothes

　　C.have much personal luggage

　　D.are flexible about their travel plans

　　答案：D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段最后兩句話可知“航空快遞旅行并不是適合每一個人。它主要面向那些錢少，旅行計劃比較靈活的游客”，故選D。

　　D

　　The journey to the moon has been the first step towards future exploration in space. The distance between the Moon and Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is millions of miles away! Traveling to the planets will be man's next aim. Such travels will be more challenging than the trip to the moon and certainly more adventurous.

　　Recently, two American spaceships, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars trying to discover whether that planet has any life on it. So far the signs of life on Mars has neither confirmed(確認)nor ruled out. Russians have discovered that the surface of Venus(金星)is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely dense(稠)and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than that of the Earth's atmosphere.

　　Scientists believe man may find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on earth, but man should realize Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to love and care for it.

　　48.According to the passage, traveling to the planets will be________.

　　A.much easier and even more interesting

　　B.far more exciting and dangerous

　　C.man's final aim

　　D.man's first step

　　答案：B　細節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段告訴我們?nèi)祟愊蚱渌行翘剿鞯男袆訉⒈热ピ虑蛱剿鞲泳哂刑魬?zhàn)性和冒險性。

　　49.From the passage, we can guess________.

　　A.there is life on Mars

　　B.there is no life on Mars

　　C.The atmosphere of Mars is not so dense as that of Venus

　　D.scientists will have little hope to find the answers

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。由文中第二段第二句告訴我們，火星上是否有生命還不能確認，所以A、B排除。根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句可知：科學家相信人類能找到像我們地球上生存條件一樣的行星。所以可以排除D。

　　50.Scientists think we should take care of our earth because________.

　　A.no other planets are to take the place of the earth

　　B.everything needed is provided by the earth

　　C.the only home of man will be the earth for a long time

　　D.the dream to find another home for man will come true

　　答案：C　細節(jié)理解題。最后一段講明人類必須保護地球。根本原因在于人類在近期內(nèi)無法找到能夠和地球的生存常規(guī)交叉相提并論的星球，所以地球在很長時間內(nèi)依然是人類賴以生存的家園。

　　E

　　(2013·天津)

　　Last night's meteor(流星) shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers. According to Gabe Rothschild, Emerald Valley's mayor, people gathered in the suburbs of the city, carrying heavy telescopes, expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city's lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.

　　“My family was so frustrated，” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”

　　Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.

　　There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds, bats, frogs, snakes, etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(遷徙的)birds. According to the International Dark­Sky Association. “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”

　　Countless more animals casualties(傷亡)result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person's chances of getting cancer.

　　Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona, has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇議論文，作者通過一場不令人滿意的流星雨引出話題，闡述了光污染對于人類及動物所造成的危害，號召人們不需要的時候，把燈關掉。

　　51.It happened last night that ________.

　　A.the city's lights affected the meteor watching

　　B.the meteors flew past before being noticed

　　C.the city light show attracted many people

　　D.the meteor watching ended up a social outing

　　答案：A　細節(jié)理解題。由第一段最后一句話：他們發(fā)現(xiàn)的是被城市燈光照得如此明亮的天空使得劃過我們頭頂?shù)牧餍前档瓱o光，所以可以知道城市燈光影響了流星雨的觀看。故選A項。

　　52.What do the astronomers complain about?

　　A.Meteor showers occur less often than before.

　　B.Their observation equipment is in poor repair.

　　C.Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.

　　D.Their eyesight is failing due to artificial lighting.

　　答案：C　細節(jié)理解題。由第三段一、二句話，可知天文學家們幾十年來以直報怨這個問題，說明光污染的問題多年沒有解決。故選C項。

　　53.What the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?

　　A.Birds may take other migration paths.

　　B.Animal's living habits may change suddenly.

　　C.Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.

　　D.Animals' survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.

　　答案：D　細節(jié)理解題。第四段主要講了室外光對于動物的影響，所以作者擔心動物的生存受到室外光的威脅。故選D項。

　　54.Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to ________.

　　A.lessen the chance of getting cancer

　　B.create an ideal observation condition

　　C.ensure citizens a good sleep at night

　　D.enable all creatures to live in harmony

　　答案：B　細節(jié)理解題。由最后一段第二句話可知這個城市加強燈光規(guī)定是為了幫助觀測臺的天文學家們，也就是創(chuàng)造一個理想的觀測條件。故選B項。

　　55.What message does the author most want to give us?

　　A.Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.

　　B.Great efforts should be made to save energy.

　　C.Human activities should be environmentally friendly.

　　D.New equipment should be introduced for space study.

　　My magic neutral water pen

　　The neutral water pen is widely used in the process of study but we often have trouble using them because of its limited ink and other inconvenience.

　　To deal with these problems, consequently, I have worked heart and soul to create my own magic neutral water pen.

　　The most shining function of this newly designed pen is that it will contain special ink powder which makes it have endless ink. Furthermore, the pen is made of the extremely strong materials, which can protect the pen from the damage when it might fall down onto the ground. Better still, so smoothly does it write that it can contribute to making our handwriting better.

　　Such is my magic neutral water pen. Are you interested in it? Hope it will be of great use for users.
