Forest fires raged out of control as the country suffered its worst drought for 50 years. Smoke f

6、rom the fires mixed with sunlight and hot dry air to form a cloud of smog. This pollution quickly spread and within days it was hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars, it soon became poisonous (有毒

7、的). Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose. People wheezed (喘息) and coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately. The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot (烟灰) covered everything. In some

8、 areas, water was hosed (用胶管浇) from high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog. Finally, heavy rains, which came in November, put out the fires and cleared the air. But the environmental costs and health problems will remain. Many people from South-Eastern Asian cities already suffer from

9、 breathing huge amounts of car exhaust fumes (汽车排放的废气) and factory pollution. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-sufferers may have difficulties for the first time. Wildlife has suffered too. In lowland forests, elephants, deer, and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog

10、 But smog is not just an Asian problem. In fact, the word was first used in London in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog. Fog often hung over the capital. Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems or in accidents. About 4,000 London

11、ers died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952.（分数：7.00）(1).Indonesia was in crisis because of the drought.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(2).The smog spread to neighbouring countries.（分数：1.00）A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned(3).The air-pollution index went up to 300 within a few da

14、t possible. Located 2, 600 metres up in the Chilean Andes, it has four huge mirrors, each about the size of a London bus. The VLT is so powerful that it can spot a burning match 10,000 kilometres away. 2 This astonishing power will allow astronomers to see events in space from the birth of stars to

15、the collision (碰撞) of galaxies (星系) on the edge of the cosmos (宇宙). The VLT is giving astronomers their best-ever view of the cosmos. The power of the VLT to see the smallest detail at the furthest distances makes its designers amazed. 3 Take the case of Eta Carinae, one of the most explosive stars

16、in the universe. This star produces ultraviolet laser rays (紫外线) and it will destroy itself in a few million years“ time. It is five times brighter than the sun and when it explodes it is going to be a sight worth waiting for! 4 But it is at distances of millions, even billions, of light years that

17、the VLT really shows its power. The VLT can detect light that set out on its journey before the earth even existed. This gives astronomers their first-ever detailed views of events that took place in the earliest days of the cosmos. 5 In other words, the VLT is a kind of a time machine. It takes ast

18、ronomers back to a time when complete galaxies crashed into each other. The effects of these past collisions can now be seen by scientists, and astronomers believe the telescope will reveal more about these exciting events in the years to come. One day, we might be able to say we have traveled back

19、to the beginning of time, and we will have a much clearer picture of how our planet was born.（分数：8.00）(1).A. Events that took place before the earth existed B. Power of the telescope C. Details of Eta Carinae D. Invention of a time machine E. Biggest telescope F. Birth of the new worlds Paragraph 1

22、ey fall onto the ends of the handlebars (车把). So a team of engineers is redesigning it to make it safer. Kristy Arbogast, a bioengineer at the Children“s Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, began the project with her colleagues. The cases they reviewed about serious abdominal (腹部的) injuries in

23、 children in the past 30 years showed that more than a third were caused by bicycle accidents. “The task was to identify how the injuries occurred and came up with some countermeasures,“ she says. By interviewing the children and their parents, Arbogast and her team were able to reconstruct many of

24、the accidents and identified a common cause for serious injuries. They discovered that most cases occur when children hit an obstacle at slow speed, causing them to topple (摇摆) over. To maintain their balance the children turn the handlebars through 90 degreesbut their momentum (冲力) forces them into

25、 the end of the handlebars. The bike then falls over and the other end of the handlebars hits the ground, pushing it into their abdomen (腹部). The solution the group came up with is a handgrip (握柄) fitted with a spring and damping (减速) system. The spring absorbs up to 50 per cent of the forces transm

26、itted (传递) through the handlebars in an impact. The group hopes to commercialize the device, which should add only a few dollars to the cost of a bike. “But our task has been one of education because up until now, bicycle manufacturers were unaware of the problem,“ says Arbogast.（分数：15.00）(1).The en

27、gineers are trying to improve the handlebars because（分数：3.00）A.they are not beautiful.B.they may kill children.C.they are likely to crash.D.they affect the speed of the bike.(2).How many abdominal injuries in children were caused by bicycle accidents?（分数：3.00）A.Thirty.B.Ninety.C.50 percent.D.More th

28、an a third.(3).The word “countermeasures“ in paragraph 2 means（分数：3.00）A.“problems“.B.“approaches“.C.“solutions“.D.“actions“.(4).Paragraph 3 mainly discusses（分数：3.00）A.why the children and their parents were interviewed.B.how serious abdominal injuries occur.C.when the children turn the handlebars.D

29、what stops bicycle accidents.(5).The advantage of the new handgrip is that（分数：3.00）A.it can be made cheaply.B.it reduces the impact in bicycle accidents.C.it helps to slow down the speed of the bicycle.D.it sells well at bicycle shops.六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Saving MoneyWhere you save your money often

30、 depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a CD (光盘) or to go to a concert, then probably you would keep your money somewhere in your room. If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money? One place to save money is the b

31、ank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank (猪形储蓄罐), one year later you“ll still have the same amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account, one year later, you“ll have more money than you put in.

32、Why? When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is an amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money (and the money of other people, too) to loan money to people and businesses. The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank

33、statement tells you how much money you have in your account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned. If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow! Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don“t need to use for

34、 a long time, this is a good way to make your money grow. You can buy a CD at a bank. You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time. That period might be from six months to five years. You can“t touch your money during that time. If you do, you must pay a penalty, or fee.（分数：15.00）(1).

35、Your money will earn more money if you put it（分数：3.00）A.in your room.B.in a piggy bank.C.in your pocket.D.in a savings account.(2).A bank pays you interest for（分数：3.00）A.wasting your money.B.losing your money.C.using your money.D.decreasing your money.(3).Among other things, a bank statement tells y

36、ou（分数：3.00）A.the amount of money you have in the bank.B.the current rates of interest.C.the current rates of exchange.D.the best way to save your money.(4).If you draw your money before it is due, you will have to（分数：3.00）A.pay interest to the bank.B.close your account.C.open a new account.D.pay a p

37、enalty or fee.(5).The word “touch“ in paragraph 7 could be best replaced by（分数：3.00）A.deposit.B.lend.C.use.D.cash.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Almost Human?Scientists are racing to build the world“s first thinking robot. This is not science fiction: some say they will have made it by the year 2020. Carol Pa

38、cker reports. Machines that walk, speak and feel are no longer science fiction. Kismet is the name of an android (机器人) which scientists have built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it can show human emotions. Its eyes, ears and

39、 lips move to show when it feels happy, sad or bored. Kismet is one of the first of a new generation of androidsrobots that look like human beingswhich can imitate human feelings. Cog, another android invented by the MIT, imitates the action of a mother. However, scientists admit that so far Cog has

40、 the mental ability of a two-year-old. The optimists (乐观主义者) say that by the year 2020 we will have created humanoids (机器人) with brains similar to those of an adult human being. These robots will be designed to look like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell to the public. What kind

41、 of jobs will they do? In the future, robots like Robonaut, a humanoid invented by NASA, will be doing dangerous jobs, like repairing space stations. They will also be doing more and more of the household work for us. In Japan, scientists are designing androids that will entertain us by dancing and

42、playing the piano. Some people worry about what the future holds: will robots become monsters (怪物)? Will people themselves become increasingly like robots? Experts predict that more and more people will be wearing micro-computers, connected to the Internet, in the future. People will have micro-chip

43、s in various parts of their body, which will connect them to a wide variety of gadgets (小装置). Perhaps we should not exaggerate (夸大) the importance of technology, but one wonders whether, in years to come, we will still be falling in love, and whether we will still feel pain. Who knows?（分数：15.00）(1).

44、Kismet is different from traditional robots because（分数：3.00）A.it thinks for itself.B.it is not like science fiction.C.it can look after two-year-old.D.it seems to have human feelings.(2).What makes Cog special?（分数：3.00）A.It looks like a mother.B.It behaves like a child.C.It can imitate the behavior

45、of a mother.D.It has a huge brain.(3).In about 5 years“ time from now, robots（分数：3.00）A.will become space designers.B.will look like monsters.C.will behave like animals.D.will think like humans.(4).In the future robots will also（分数：3.00）A.explore space.B.entertain people.C.move much faster.D.do all

46、of the housework.(5).What is the writer“s attitude to robots in the future?（分数：3.00）A.Critical.B.Hostile.C.Objective.D.Enthusiastic.八、第 5部分：补全短文(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Caribbean IslandsWhat would you see if you took a cruise to the Caribbean Islands? Palm trees and coconuts (椰子)? White beaches and clear, bl

47、ue ocean? Colorful corals (珊瑚) and even more colorful fishes and birds? You bet. There are thousands of islands in the Caribbean Sea. They are famous for their warm, tropical climate and great natural beauty. The Caribbean Islands form a chain that separates the Caribbean Sea from the rest of the At

48、lantic Ocean. Some of the islands were formed by the eruption (喷发) of ancient volcanoes (火山). 1 The Caribbean Islands are known by several names. 2 The explorer Christopher Columbus called the islands the Indies in 1492 because he thought he was near the coast of India. Later, Spain and France calle

49、d the islands the Antilles. There are four large islands in the Caribbean Sea. 3 These four islands are often called the Greater Antilles. Together, they account for about 90 percent of the land area of the Caribbean Islands. The rest of the Caribbean Islands are much smaller. Some of these islands are no more than tiny slivers (小片) of exposed coral. You can see why pirates (海盗) such as the famous Blackbeard sailed these waters. 4 The weather of the Caribbean Sea is almost always warm and sunny. Sandy beaches line the coasts of many islands. This is why millions of tourists visit the isla
