14、comfortably hot there. Millions do it. But as for the North Pole (北极)we know that it is not only a dangerously cold place, but that people like you and I would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only the scientists and explorers can do so, and they use special equipment. Men

15、 have been travelling across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole. So it may surprise you to learn that, when traveling by air, it is really s

16、afer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator. Of course, it is not true about landings in the polar region, but the weather, if we are flying at a height of 5,000 meters above the Pole is a delight. At 4,000 meters and move above the earth you can always be sure that you will not see a clou

17、d in the sky as far as your eyes can reach. In the tropics (热带),on the other hand, you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18,000 or 20,000 meters. Aeroplanes can“t climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm. Nor can clouds. In practice, this is an advantage

18、to the aeroplane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region and so does not to climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.（分数：10.00）(1).“Millions do it.“ in this sentence “do it“ refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.feeling uncomfortably hot on the equatorB.flying ov

19、er the North PoleC.flying over the equatorD.making homes on the equator(2).The polar region is _.（分数：2.00）A.a good place to land at by aeroplaneB.a good place to fly overC.a good place to fly pastD.a good place to live in(3).It is a delight to fly at the Pole because there _.（分数：2.00）A.planes fly hi

20、gher than at the equatorB.the eyes can reach about 4,000 metersC.planes are clear of bad weatherD.planes fly more quickly than at the equator(4).Aeroplanes can climb quickly _.（分数：2.00）A.in warm airB.in cold airC.when it reaches the polar regionD.only when the clouds are down low(5).Aeroplanes usual

21、ly do not need to climb quickly or fly high in the polar region because _.（分数：2.00）A.they do not land thereB.there are no clouds at allC.they can cross the ice with special equipmentD.it is very cold五、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they provide him with woo

22、d and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to f

23、ind that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear. This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots bre

24、ak up soilallowing the rain to sink inand also bind the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless

25、 desert. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It set up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and it grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced with floods a

26、nd starvation.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.They help him make money.B.They give him wood and other products.C.They help him prevent droughts and floods.D.They give him shade.(2).Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly d

27、isappear?（分数：2.00）A.New trees are not looked after properly.B.Many trees have been cut down by man.C.Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees.D.All of the above.(3).Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?（分数：2.00）A.Because an empire was set up.B.Bec

28、ause the empire fell to pieces.C.Because it lost its trees.D.Because too much had been spent on wars.(4).Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down?（分数：2.00）A.Because nothing remains on land except floods.B.Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.C.B

29、ecause too much rain sinks in and washes away the top-soil.D.Because roots of the trees break up the soil.(5).What does the author tell us in this passage?（分数：2.00）A.How trees help prevent droughts and floods.B.The relationship between trees and man.C.How an empire fell to pieces in ancient times.D.

30、A story of trees.六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(噩梦). Now American

31、researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase (抹去), the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on peo

32、ple in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a b

33、ad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers“ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people“s lives. They come back to you when you don“t want to have them

34、in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.“ said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.“ But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories gi

35、ve us our identity(物质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I“m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,“ said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage is

36、 mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.a new medical inventionB.a new research on memoriesC.a way of erasing painful memoriesD.an argument about the research on the pill(2).The drug tested on people can _.（分数：2.00）A.cause the brain to fix memoriesB.stop people remembering their experiencesC.prevent body produci

37、ng certain chemicalsD.wipe out the emotional effects of memories(3).We can infer from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.people doubt the effects of the pillsB.the pill will stop people“s bad experiencesC.taking the pill will do harm to people“s healthD.the pill has probably been produced in America(4).W

38、hich of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?（分数：2.00）A.Some memories can ruin people“s lives.B.People want to get rid of bad memories.C.Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D.The pill will reduce people“s sufferings from bad memories.(5).The word “scars“ in Paragraph One

39、is close in meaning to _.（分数：2.00）A.good storiesB.painsC.experiencesD.memories七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)If there is one thing I“m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their

40、 news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what news is what affects our livesthe big political st

41、ories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It“s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more c

42、overage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we doas we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feeling really are. It“s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.

43、 In fact, I“m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to readsports and international news, etc. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the d

44、ifferent media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn“t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it“s never really pleasant to re

45、ad something just on a screen.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the best title for the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The Best Way to Get NewsB.The Changes of MediaC.Make Your Own NewspaperD.The Future of Newspaper(2).In the writer“s opinion, in the future, _.（分数：2.00）A.more big political affairs, wars and disasters will m

46、ake newsB.newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC.newspapers will cover more scientific researchD.more and more people will watch TV(3).What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?（分数：2.00）A.Sports and international news.B.A menu of important news.C.The most impor

47、tant news.D.What you are interested in.(4).From the passage, we can infer _.（分数：2.00）A.newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB.newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC.television will take the place of newspaperD.the writer believe some media will die out(5).The

48、 underlined phrase “feed off“ in the last paragraph means _.（分数：2.00）A.depend onB.compete withC.fight withD.kill off八、Part Vocabulary an(总题数：40，分数：20.00)16.I _ talk that way if I were Frank.（分数：0.50）A.won“tB.didn“tC.couldn“tD.wouldn“t17._ today, he would get there by Friday.（分数：0.50）A.Were he leaveB
